I love friday

I'm always waiting for Friday. Friday means the last day of school (of a week). And tomorrow is Saturday. Saturday means fun for me.

Oh I hate Sunday. Cause Sunday means preparing for Monday, and Monday means my daily routine aka SCHOOL.

I must enjoy my Saturday nite.

Anything can happen in the next half hour

True.

♥ ENTER SHIKARI.

It's raining again

It's still raining and I love it.

Today, again, I slept at 3.30am then woke up at 5am. I felt sleepy all day. I didn't give my attention to my science teacher cause all I want to do is got home quickly and sleep.
I'm all alone in my house right now.

This rainy night makes me wanna sleep under my bedcover and wake up tomorrow morning. I wish I could if I don't have my Japanese homework. I gotta do it now.
Ciao!

Fun means exhausted

Today we had 'Edu Fair' at school. I (still) haven't decided where I want to go for college yet. My point is, I want to study Fashion. Whether it's Fashion Retail Design or just Fashion Design. I think that would be cool if I study what I love. I had some options, tho. But I probably go abroad. I really want to. I only have one year left to think about it.

Today me and my friends were going to cinema. We watched 'Pintu Terlarang'. I personally love it. A movie that could make me think during the whole movie. It's a bit psycho but pretty classy. I recommend you to watch it.

Now I've just finished my homework...and I should practice story telling. Tomorrow we should do the 'Story Telling Test' at English class. I'll do The Princess and The Pea...wish me luck!

The Book of Lost Things

I'm not a bookworm. I'm a novelworm.

My favorite genres are fantasy, romance, and thriller.
But romance doesn't always work for me.
I'm more into fantasy. The favorite is Harry Potter, of course. But let me give you 'The Book of Lost Things'. It's John Connolly's.
That is a novel that could make me loving it, after Harry Potter. You'll see fairy tales from different sides, it's very interesting for me. Even though the main character is a twelve years old boy named David, this isn't for kids. But I've read many adults novel, like The Virgins Suicide and Perfume. I bought them cause I want a novel that could make me think, make me interested, yet entertaining. It usually happens in adult novels. They have unbelieveable-yet-great plots, but still make sense.

I really recommend 'The Book of Lost Things' for anyone who loves fairy tales and surprising things.

P.S. homeworks are (still) waiting for me..I better be going.

Sleep at 3.30 am

Well well well.
I just got home! It's been a busy day at school. I had to do my homework at class before I began my first lesson. Then my first lesson is Science. And after that I had the Sport, I was running like 7 times around the BIG field. I almost fainted! Running is the worst at sports! I was so exhausted.
I slept at 3.30 am last night and woke up at 5am. Please! I felt sleepy all day.
But now I'm laying on my bed, write this journal with my tired eyes. It's ok, tho. I enjoy writing.
Oh God, I really need to sleep!
Then wake up in the next 2 hours.
So...
BYE!!!

Desolation Row

I'm soo excited!!!
My Chemical Romance has a new song!
Well it's not new, it's Bob Dylan's 'Desolation Row'. Yes, they made a cover song! And the song is going to be the soundtrack of 'The Watchmen'.
I can't wait to hear it!

I've been a huge fan of MCR since 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge'. I know it's a bit late, but I can't find their 1st album HERE, even until this time. But I got their songs.
I fell in love with 'Helena' video, and while all of my friends were adoring Mikey, I was adoring Gerard. LOL. It's very silly cause I knew them when I was 13, in my 1st grade at junior high.
Then I started to love them until this time. I'm so glad I watched their concert! The most satisfied concert I've ever watched! Seriously! And the most expensive, too. But I didn't regret that. They were awesome! And they brought us like 21 songs. But 'The Ghost of You' and 'Disenchanted' weren't there, although they are my favorite songs, too.

And now I'm waiting for their next album. I can't wait for it. Should be in the top of my shop list! And oh, it's late but, I'm happy for Gerard and Lyn-Z! I know they're expecting now! Gee is going to be a Daddy! How sweet!

Great... And my bangs are getting longer now. I haven't cut it yet.

School. School after my long-term hibernate.

PMS

It's the worst thing could happen to me.
Makes me angry, feels bad about everything, more sensitive...
Plus, it causes stomachache.

Bad things suddenly happen when I'm PMS.

Sorry, you're not a winner

(Thanks to my dear friend 'R' for sharing this story, it's her story)


Jealousy, jealousy.

I know when someone's jealous at me, but I don't tell. I know when someone's trying to put me down, but I keep smiling. I know when someone's trying to steal what I have, but I won't let it happen.

It sucks when you have something new or fresh, but then someone take it from you. It sucks when someone's having a big mouth. And it sucks when someone think that they are the ONLY, the BEST, who could do something you COULD do either, but 'that person' thinks you couldn't do anything. And how satisfied you are when you do BETTER than 'that person', when you prove that you CAN do it either.

It sucks when someone won't do anything to get what 'that person' wants, so 'that person' asks you for it.

It sucks when someone's trying to get beside me, to take what I have. And how glad I am when my friends (finally) know who 'that person' is.

And it feels very good when 'that person' get jealous on you, that means you're the winner.



-I wrote my friend's story, cause I understand her feelings about her shitty friend, who wants to take everything she has. Be patient, R! I'll write my blog later, I need another inspiration, so if you want to share with me, that would be awesome-

exohexoh erica

P.S. I felt sick since Tuesday. The doctor gave me 2 kinds of capsule, I got 6 capsules each day. Non-fat milk+sereal and Garden State dvd sounds like a good combo for this morning.

I'm a movie addict, not a karaoke addict

"I love karaoke more than watching movies at the cinema, we just sit and watch, boring."

If you agree with that statement, I'm not on your side. Seriously I love to sing, and music is the important part of my life. But I hate karaoke. Just because I hate it, that doesn't mean that I'm not a 'musical' person. Believe me, I listen to my iPod everyday, and I love singing. But karaoke? Forget it, not for me.
It's okay if I do it rarely, but if everytime I hang out, then my friend says, "Let's karaoke!" Hell no I can't stand it. I don't mind if you love karaoke, but it just doesn't work for me.

So let me tell you, I'm a movie addict. I'm lucky I was born in movigoers family. All of my family (includes grandpa and grandma!) love to watch movies, whether it's on the cinema or DVD. When I was 13 I went to the cinema like 3 times a week *drools*
I'm serious! It's hard to mention my favorite movies, but I think I have unextraordinary taste of movie genre. Yes, I love cult/indie/underground (or whatever you would say) movies. Maybe it's not weird if I don't live in Indonesia. Cause most of the teens here hate it. They think it's just a weird and boring movie genre. But some of them also love it, as I do.
I still remember when someone I know said, "Juno is the worst movie I ever watched."
I'm laughing at the inside. I know it's about taste. I love those mainstream movies, but I also love cult movies.
In my opinion, cults are mostly artsy, and don't forget for the unique stories.
My favorites are:
Garden State
Igby Goes Down
Juno
Across the Universe (I'm not sure this movie is cult, but it's so artsy!)
December Boys
Driving Lessons

There's a lot more that I can't tell...
And don't forget to mention that I love classical movies, especially the dramas.
My favorites are Atonement, Pride and Prejudice, and The Notebook. Like the other girls do, I cry during these movies.

I always enjoy those kinds of movie cause when I watch a movie, I'm looking for inspiration. You know, cults and classics always have great clothes, great settings, and great views. They're just so artsy.

"Cults and classics always inspired me. After watching those movies, I got inspirations, and I always love their ironic and dramatic endings."

My favorite fairy tales...

Beauty and The Beast
The Princess and The Pea
The Little Mermaid
The Ugly Duckling
Sleeping Beauty

I'm not a kid anymore but I still love fairy tales! Every girls do!

COME OUT COME OUT, WHEREVER YOU ARE...

I love Twilight. But not much as I love Harry Potter! Yeah, you bet. And for the vampires... well I musn't compare Twilight with Harry Potter, cause Harry is a wizard, not a vampire.
So I compare it with Queen of the Damned. (LESTAT!)
Have you seen it? Or have you read the novel? I've seen it but I haven't read it yet. Believe me, I'm trying to find it, but I can't find it here. Shitty. Ok, now let's talk about the movie. I completely agree that the special effects are awful, but I don't mind that. Lots of good movies came with no special effect. So as long as I like the story, it doesn't matter.
The first time I saw this movie, I was soo in love for Lestat. After I saw it, I remember it. I wanna watch it more and more... Oh and I can't let Lestat get out of my head. His figure always stays in my mind. Oh c'mon, he's vampire, he's hot, and yeah, he's a rockstar. What could I ask more? I never thought that a vampire would become a band vocalist... And the most important thing is, he has fangs. Unlike Edward and the Cullens, the vampires in Queen of the Damned are cruel and scary. Yeah, scary yet adorable.
I watched it like three times, and right now I still wanna watch it again.
I think Jesse is so lucky. She became a vampire, with Lestat on her side. Isn't that great? Being immortal with someone you love?

Back to reality, there are no vampires. But how if they DO exist? What's gonna happen to our world? Is it gonna be destroyed? Or maybe... Will it be fulled with the immortals?

''Come out come out, wherever you are.'' -Lestat-

Feeling sick is not what i aim for

God, I'm sick again. It's really suck..
but that doesn't mean that I'm free. i'm totally busy even in my condition right now.
The only thing I need is garden state dvd!!! I don't know why I want it, but I do want it.
I can watch it right now but I'm too busy. There's a bunch of homeworks waiting for me.
Ah, I need some refreshments! I gotta find new songs to refresh my mind...

fuchsia is my favorite color, fashion designer is my dream job

Okay, fuchsia will always be my favorite color..
fuchsia is the mix of pink and purple, and i love love it.
so i wanna decorate my bedroom.
i fall in love with pink-purple-orange flower pattern wallpaper, but i haven't buy it yet. and i'll put it on just one side of my walls... the other sides will be full with paints, fuchsia paints.
it's a bit dark tho, but it will match with my personality.

talking about personality, i've taken a quiz about fashion obsession. it's 'Which fashion profession are you? Designer, Stylist, or Photographer?'
and my result is...
DESIGNER

ahh i'm so glad i got this result, but i can't sew, and i can't draw designs for clothes..well at least i haven't try it yet. yeah you'll never know before you try.
i DO want to work in fashion industry. it's my obsession and my dream.
i'll try to sew later, then making my own clothes, jewelry, etc.
i know it's fun. having ideas of those stuff in my mind is already fun! i'm soo excited.
and i'm wondering..sometimes i'll wear my clothes (with my own design)... that would be awesome for me. i'd be so satisfied.

I will work hard for my dreams.
pray for me, folks!

PHOTOSHOOT AND MY BROKEN THING

I'm having new ideas for my next photoshoot.
well it's not a real photoshoot at all. it's just the way I express myself. mostly explaining what I'm wearing.
i did it ALL ALONE.
and my next photoshoot will be Androgyny Shoot.
yes, ANDROGYNY. masculine. those boy stuff!
fyi, i never dressed like that before! i'm just too scared to be masculine. although my fashion icons wear it.
but hey, this is 2009! it's always great to try something new (new for me).
so I'm gonna prepare it ASAP. i will shop some stuffs, and it would be awesome, every girls love to shop, right?


instead of it, unfortunately my Macbook is broken! it kills me! it's broken cause my cd won't go out of it. shitty.
and now i miss my mac...
aah it's been a bad day for me! cause i'm sick (since yesterday), i catch a cold (it makes me more sick), and my mac is broken.

hopefully tomorrow my mac is repaired, so i can take it from the store and take it home...
i might be shopping at this weekend, but i don't know. i'm busy with school so i don't have enough time for it.

P.S. I prefer vanilla than chocolate ice cream! yum yum!

I'M GLAD IT'S RAINING, I'M SAD I'M CATCHING A COLD

Help me!
Seriously I can catch a cold like million times a year.
Too bad! I use many tissues!
I had this not just because the cold weather, I have allergies.
Allergies for dust, smoke (that's why I don't like people smoking near me).
I'm tired of it. I can't sleep at night cause I can't breath from my nose. It's killing me, really.

***

So I'm begging my friends, I tell them that I have allergy, so they won't smoke near me, or I probably will sneeze in front of them :D

5 THINGS I'M LOVING TODAY

1. Someone has wrote on my (Facebook) wall, and I adore him so much! Initial 'KP'. Guess who?
2. Non-stop rain!
3. Manchester United is going to Jakarta! Am I dreaming? I'm sad cause I don't live in Jakarta. But I think I might go there!
4. It's cold today! This is all I wanted.
5. My kitty is fat! She used to be so small at the first time I 'adopt' her.

rain rain go away, come again another day...

I do NOT agree.
I love rain so much. When it rains, I feel so relax, and I'm happy.
Even though it could make me catch a cold, but it's ok.
And even though it causes flood everywhere, I'm still loving it. I don't mean that I don't care about flood. I mean, flood happens not just because of rain, it's human error either.
If I'm not in this condition (yes, I'm still sick), I probably go outside and let the rain pours me...
Well, I'm kidding lol.

***

Honestly I have a dream. I know this is silly, but someday I wanna walk in the rain, sharing my umbrella with someone I love...
In this case, 'someone I love' means BF, but I'm single now, so it won't happen for this time.
Well back to the topic, I still love rain. I'm always waiting for it, every time in my life. I'm serious. Well, not really. Especially when I'm in music festival, or in concerts.
I want rain when I'm sad, or dissapointed.
Cause it always makes me feel much better...


P.S. My kitty is getting fat!

sickness and 2012

It's Wednesday, Jan 14 2008. 2.45 PM in Bandung, ID.

Right now I'm laying on my cold bed. I didn't go to school today, cause I'm sick.
I hate this, but I can't do anything except laying on my bed (and eating). I miss my school, and my friends.
There's a time when I hate school, and don't wanna go there. But now, I miss it...
My forehead is warm, but I'm freezing. Trust me, I'm wearing my socks.

***

I've been thinking about 2012. If you type '2012' in Google, you'll find doomsday (I don't know how to spell it).
Someone's saying, 21-12-2008 will be the end of our world. But some others said, there will be a disaster. I don't wanna discuss it here, cause I think it's just about our opinion. It's our choice to believe it or not.
I personally have no clue about this. I mean, everyone's gonna die, and there's no doubt about it. It's our faith. Only we don't know when will it happen to us. It is God's secret.
So I think, all we could do is just doing good and meaningful things in our life.

oxford heels, what a bad day

Last Saturday I wore my black Oxford heels, I love it, but it wasn't a good day. My Oxford is new, and I have problems with new shoes. They usually hurt my ankles. And can you imagine, when you're walking with heels and injured ankles? I bet that sucks! I don't mind wearing heels. They make me look taller, yeah that's exactly the reason why I love heels.
Tall people, you don't know what it is like to be short, rite? It sucks, but sometimes I enjoy it.

***

Today was the first day of school after holiday. I have no idea of today, I wasn't in a good mood after all. And it makes me sick. All I wanna do is just sleep, sleep, and sleep.
So I didn't go with my friends... I decided to go home, then yes, sleep. I sleep about 5 hours, and it was raining, I feel like I didn't wanna go outside from my bedcover xp.
so now I'm waiting for Golden Globe, yeah, we have it in our Indonesian channel. I wanna watch it, even tho I've already know the winners...

Tomorrow will be the first busy-day at school. This will be the first time I study in my second semester...

Well, well, well
daily routines...
HERE I COME!

P.S. sowwy for my worst grammar... at least I've tried, but I'll fix my bad grammar! I'll try for it!

The Nightmare Before Christmas

Im watching it rite now.
I love everything about it.
The characters, the story, and of course, the soundtrack.

My fave is Sally's Song :)

when Im bored, I always watch it.

I recommend you to watch it (if you havent,of course)

'And does he notice my feelings for him?
And will he see how much he means to me?
I think it's not to be'
-Sally's Song-
