yummy!!

i've tried a lot of different foods. indonesians' to africans', sweet to bitter.

yet, there are only 3 irreplaceable food in my top list of culinary:

sushi. my first favorite food. i used to hate sushi because its taste of uncooked fish. but, years later, after i tried sushi and sashimi for the second time.... i LOVE it!! it becomes tasty and.. i dont know.. there's a kind of "sensation" :P.. since then, i'm addicted. it was like i gotta eat it at least once a week. hahah.

ayam bakar.. i can't hold myself from eating it if it's on my table. no matter if i'm stuffed already, i'll still eat it. moreover when it is served with amazing sambal. the taste of sweet soy sauce and other seasonings is incredible... XD

and this one.. satay. the second best indonesian food... tasty!! yay!! hahaha. especially lamb satay... it's the best satay on earth :P



eating those food makes me feel like my stomach is a few times larger than before; giving more space for more food. i could even spend for about Rp 600,000 for sushi with my one friend on a quite cheap sushi restaurant. hahaha. those food are soo tempting me. even thinking bout it makes me hungry rite now.

wow. i've changed! :P

in this freakin stressful week, with tons of tasks and exams and tests, i find the positive side of it. huff.

i feel something changes in me. i become a more responsible and discipline person. i'm more mature.

i'm different than months ago when i used to submit tasks late and not care about exams. when i found it's hard to be finished, i would give up and decide to submit it later on. but, with these life pressures i can manage my time better. using my time effectively, not wasting any time for playing or relaxing. i finished my homework before the due date and do everything to finish it on time - even if i had to work all night long. i study at break time so that i can work on other things at home.

how "nerd" ahaha.



though it's freakin me out, i'm pretty satisfied with this changes. preparing me for college :P what will happen to me in college if i don't adapt myself with this kind of business?

discipline is the first thing we need to be successful.

soo... i don't wanna look at my jobs as burdens anymore since it helps me a LOT!! XD

moony - i don't know why

This song is soo my friend's and my life right now. feels so dull and tiring. yet there's no other way but to enjoy every moment of our days. XD


Never happy, not satisfied
Always complains for nothing
Hopes and dreams are fading away
It's not hard to figure it out
There's no doubt, you'll find a way
Live the moment, each and every day

I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me
I cannot...
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me (in front of me)

Always thinking it’s not enough
Maybe it’s time to fight for it
Days and years are going so fast
We run set we’re full of regrets
Why keep on blaming someone else?
Love and luck are turning their back

Now I see here
It's always been there
People like their simple things
Live the moment, each and every day

I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me
I cannot...
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me (in front of me)

Is it there?
Is it right there?
Right in front of you (right in front of you)
This is what you've been looking for
For a long, long time
Make it real, make it right now (make it right now, make it right now)
You've got to live it now

I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me
I cannot...
I don't know why
I cannot see the beauty in front of me (in front of me)

its human race's stupidity

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed to stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods:

On a Sears hairdryer -- Do not use while sleeping.
(Shoot, and that's the only time I have to work on my hair.)

On a bag of Fritos -- You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside.
(the shoplifter special)?

On a bar of Dial soap -- "Directions: Use like regular soap,"
(and that would be how???....)

On some Swanson frozen dinners -- "Serving suggestion: Defrost."
(but, it's "just" a suggestion).

On Tesco's Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom) -- "Do not turn upside down."
(well...duh, a bit late, huh)!

On Marks & Spencer Bread Pudding -- "Product will be hot after heating."
(...and you thought????...)

On packaging for a Rowena iron -- "Do not iron clothes on body."
(but wouldn't this save me more time)?

On Boot's Children Cough Medicine -- "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."
(We could do a lot to reduce the rate of construction accidents if we could just get those 5-year-olds with head-colds off those forklifts.)

On Nytol Sleep Aid -- "Warning: May cause drowsiness."
(and...I'm taking this because???....)

On most brands of Christmas lights -- "For indoor or outdoor use only."
(as opposed to...what)?

On a Japanese food processor -- "Not to be used for the other use."
(now, somebody out there, help me on this. I'm a bit curious)

On Sainsbury's peanuts -- "Warning: contains nuts."
(talk about a news flash)

On an American Airlines packet of nuts -- "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."
(Step 3: maybe, ooh...fly Delta?)

On a child's Superman costume -- "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly."
(I don't blame the company. I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chainsaw -- "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."
(Oh my ..was there a lot of this happening somewhere?)

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity.

how ironic.

10th grade

As I sat there in English class, I stared at the girl next to me. She was my so called "best friend". I stared at her long, silky hair, and wished she was mine. But she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. After class, she walked up to me and asked me for the notes she had missed the day before and handed them to her. She said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

11th grade
The phone rang. On the other end, it was her. She was in tears, mumbling on and on about how her love had broke her heart. She asked me to come over because she didn't want to be alone, so I did. As I sat next to her on the sofa, I stared at her soft eyes, wishing she was mine. After 2 hours, one Drew Barrymore movie, and three bags of chips, she decided to go to sleep. She looked at me, said "thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Senior year
The day before prom she walked to my locker. My date is sick" she said; he's not going to go well, I didn't have a date, and in 7th grade, we made a promise that if neither of us had dates, we would go together just as "best friends". So we did. Prom night, after everything was over, I was standing at her front door step. I stared at her as she smiled at me and stared at me with her crystal eyes. I want her to be mine, but she isn't think of me like that, and I know it. Then she said "I had the best time, thanks!" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Graduation Day
A day passed, then a week, then a month. Before I could blink, it was graduation day. I watched as her perfect body floated like an angel up on stage to get her diploma. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't notice me like that, and I knew it. Before everyone went home, she came to me in her smock and hat, and cried as I hugged her. Then she lifted her head from my shoulder and said, "you're my best friend, thanks" and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

A Few Years Later
Now I sit in the pews of the church. That girl is getting married now. I watched her say "I do" and drive off to her new life, married to another man. I wanted her to be mine, but she didn't see me like that, and I knew it. But before she drove away, she came to me and said "you came!". She said "thanks" and kissed me on the cheek. I want to tell her, I want her to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love her but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why.

Funeral
Years passed, I looked down at the coffin of a girl who used to be my "best friend". At the service, they read a diary entry she had wrote in her high school years. This is what it read: I stare at him wishing he was mine, but he doesn't notice me like that, and I know it. I want to tell him, I want him to know that I don't want to be just friends, I love him but I'm just too shy, and I don't know why. I wish he would tell me he loved me! `I wish I did too...` I thought to my self, and I cried.

hypocrite

how could a person, tease others when she does the worse thing?
she said that she is disgusted with them
she said that they are hypocrites


yet. i can't even see the positive side of her. i mean the positive in her heart.
she talks about others behind them. but she behaves like the most friendly person with them.
she said she is disgusted with others' behavior. but she herself behaves like the one that she is disgusted with.


what word would be more suitable with her than a HYPOCRITE??




don't judge others when you don't even look into yourself that you're might be much worse.

I've just downloaded some songs of my favorite singer of my childhood, Sherina. She's just a few years older - so, when she was famous, she was also still a kid.


Eventhough those are songs for kids, I noticed that the songs are much more meaningful than adult songs these days. I hate Indonesian songs. It's just because they're monotone, uncreative, and MEANINGLESS. All they sing about is: love. You can count it by yourself, from all Indonesian songs made within a year, how many of them are love songs. I'm pretty sure the result will be, at least, over 80%.

One of the songs sang by Sherina says: "... look everything closer, then you can see more wisely." Or, another song says: "...every human on earth have ever been hurted, but just those with noble heart forgive."

I was amazed when I listen carefully to the songs. I never realized how meaningful it is before. Even kids' songs used to be meaningful. Unfortunately, now, even a 5-year-old kid can sing adult songs well.


How ironic.

don't be late

One of the most important thing for a country to be on top is discipline. look at Japan and Singapore. With their discipline in time and rules, they've grown to be one of the economically strongest countries. Japan could catch up just in a few decades after isolating from the outside world and became the best in technology. And Singapore, being the youngest doesn't mean that they lost. Instead, they become the gold of Asia.

Meanwhile, what is going on with our country Indonesia?


Here is the thing making us hard to grow up: no discipline.

How could we compete with the world when we can't even be on time? When delaying an appointment for one hour is considered normal?
How could investors trust us if we can't even run our own laws? When even the polices are making a drama?
How could our economy go well if we can't even be discipline while driving? When we ourselves make the roads jammed?


My friends teased me for doing my homework on time; they'd say: "why should we submit it tomorrow? the score is not even deducted when I submit it a week after the due date!"

But, for me, score doesn't matter. I just wanna train myself to be discipline and responsible for everything. Even if I don't like my tasks and the condition is not supporting me to do it, I'll work on it.

Being on time is very important and I hate those who always say: "okay. see ya at 1" but come at 2.



When we're discipline enough, it means that we're ready to be on top or else we're not.

don't complain! :)

"If you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. Don't complain."
- Maya Angelou


Why do we always complain about things we don't like and not doing anything? Don't complain if we can't change it as it will make us feel worse. Just change ourselves to accept it and don't complain.

Being calm and positive is always be the best :D
