whatttt aaaa mooorrniiiiing..

i don't know what should be the tittle for this post actually, because i just wanna write about my dilema these last couple days. i hate it when i can't get anything i want.
i told you before about my plan to go on a family vacay, rite? i probably won't go anyway.. i decided not to go, because my parents will go umrah, instead of Bali, it's obvious to them to choose umrah when they know the date were crossed..
so that leave me with my sis's family and her husband family, and i will be an outsider (i hate the term, made me remember something LOL).. it made me tremendously upset, though i got something to pick me up a little, a new mobile phone.. but then my sister told me, not to expect any holiday from her, because she already bought me a mobile phone.. boohoo.
well, i could always ask my parents for a holiday trip, but the thought of it already made me feel uneasy.. i just don't wanna act all childishly, screaming everything i want and push them to fulfill it, it was just so not me.. i never feel comfortable to ask my parents anything i want, i'm used to do that to my sisters, since i got 5 of them, and because i'm their little sister they tend to spoil me, lol..
the problem is, i know if i ask my parents, they'll try to fulfill it, eventho i don't scream at all (once again, so not me), but after that i kinda hate the feeling, that i'm going to splurge the money for unimportant stuff in this twenty something age, instead of going to work and giving them money.. well the truth is i'm not ready to release the 'youngest child' title i got for so long and starts to act all adult like, but i have to start somewhere, don't i ?
ahh what a complicated thoughts to start my morning..

have a nice weekend!

current obsession : Charice Pempengco

i've been youtube-ing for hours today, i lost counts of time. as my tittle of this post explain what i just did these last couple hours, yes i'm developing an obsession to a new talent from Philipine, name Charice. good God she is breathtaking! i didn't overstating her, oh you probably just should see it for yourself, i'll give you the video of one of my favorite live performances of her.. she sing a rendition of beyonce's song listen at oscar after party (i didn't really like her performance after listen) and she was introduced by her mentor, David Foster.. first she got a lil' bit pitchy, but after a while you'll see what i've been rambling about.. well enough said, here's the video..


don't judge her outfit, okay? i know, i know. but you just can't have everything.. let's kill her stylist, shall we?

now, now, tell me what do you think? after i heard her sing, i religiously search her other youtube videos eventho it's the same song over and over. her live performances video on youtube mostly showed her singing i will always love you, i have nothing, and i am telling you, and also listen.
well let me tell you a little background stories about her, she started to sing back when she was only four years old, because of her violence dad, Charice only live with her mom and her little brother.. she started to join singing contest to improved the quality of her family's life. and then a random guy/girl started to post her performances on youtube under the account name FalseVoice, after that it was like a fairy tale story for Charice.. Ellen DeGeneres saw her on youtube and then invited her to her show, so he landed in US for the very first time, she sang beautifully and mesmerized the audience. well she must be one of the luckiest people on earth, because after that, she's been invited to Paul O'grady show in UK, Oprah Winfrey show (oyeah, the one and only Oprah, incredible rite? Oprah even dedicated a whole episode just to tell the world a story about Charice's life) and many other shows.
the stepping stone for her must be when she was invited by Oprah, because after that Oprah introduced her to one of the most brilliant producer ever, David Foster. She's been flying up high ever since, she's been to the most amazing Hollywood gig with all the rich and famous (you could search these in youtube too you know, there's soo many of it). she also did a duet with many famous singers like Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion. she's also been introduced to Michael Buble, Mariah Carey, Josh Groban and many other big names, even Barrack Obama (she sing in his inauguration night). Up until now David Foster still mentoring her and take her all over the world to do a concert with him, he even produced her new album and her single is written by Diane Warren (again, how lucky she is to sing a song written by such famous songwriter), the single called A Note For God, i've seen it on youtube (again) and the song was emotional and beautiful, but i think the song didn't do her voice justice like listen. she launched her single recently in Oprah's show. wow, i'm beyond speechless.
anyway just so you know, i don't know Charice at all, and this is not a blog to promote her, LOL. i wrote this only because i like her so much, it makes me fell like writing about her. Philipinos must be crazily proud of her, too bad there's no one like her yet here in Indonesia. well like my friends always say "better luck next time" LOL.
oyeah, i forgot to mention this earlier, she was just sixteen years old then (now 17), amazing right? (well i don't really forget to mention it, i intended to do that for dramatic effect hehe).

wow, this blog is long! have fun youtube-ing her everyone!

kisses,

triple holiday with everything on top!

im freeeeeeeeee! no more studying, no more classes, no more assignments!
yes yes you're right.. i got my summer break already!
for friggin' 3 months!

oh i gotta love going to public university! they got longer holiday, with shorter term! hehe.
well, eventho i got this super long lazying and doing absolutely nothing days awaits me,
i don't have any proper plans to splurge my days..
i only got one plan, and it's for july, so i gotta go figure out how to spend the first month of my super long summer break!
the plan for july is to go on a family vacation to Bali. i used to skip these kind of trip, because i don't really like to go on a vacation with kids all over me (they're my nieces and nephew), you know it's no fun, lol (you must be picturing me as an evil aunt, haha). but this time i made an exception, because we're planning to not only stay in denpasar or any other usual travel site (well at least for me), but we're going to all over bali, literally!
the place i most excite to go to is lovina beach, i wanna go kiss dolphin! yes!
and also those bird paradise and elephant park, ooohh i wanna go bungee jumping, parasailing, snorkling, diving, jet skiing, swimming, tanning, give me any kind of adventures and any kind of activity on a beach.. you name it, then im going to do it!
yess, i love trying new things, and i got no worries for budget or else cause im going with my family, hehehe *devilish laugh. (now you know why im excited to have a family vacay, rite?)
later this afternoon, i was talking with bayu (my bf) about having a road trip across java, and im loving this idea because, you know, i love beaches! and if you take the south route you can hit beautiful beaches like parangtritis, pelabuhan ratu, etc etc. i can try lots of thing there too, hm surfing maybe? haha the picture of me doing that was funny, but who cares? maybe im going to do it anyway *wink. the road trip will ended after we hit jogja, then we're going to turn back home, but instead of taking the south route, we're planning to take the north route known as "jalur pantura" (oh the phrase is soo mudik, too much of an indonesian am i LOL), so we can hit those fantastic java cuisine, from tongseng, sate kambing, and much much more delicious foods. yeah quite a plan, rite? i'm excited like a child going to disneyland! i'm going to ask few friends to come along if they want to, the more the merrier i must say.
soooo, as for now, i'm going to spend my very first night of loooooongg holiday in bed, lazzying, reading a book, and picking up snacks every now and then (i'm going to be sooo fat at the end of this holiday, but im happy so how could i care?)
( i guess im saying 'who cares' too much, eh? haha but WHO CARES?! IM HAVING MY SUMMER BREAK ALREADY! WOHOOO!)

adios amigos all! have a blast day too!

kisses,
♥ R

note : i'm considering to change my template, what do you think? this template only have a small space for the blog. i kinda hate it :(

those devilish strings, that makes me an addict

these last few months kan gw lagi diet, dengan sangat niat, ke dokter eva di dharmawangsa which makes me spent lots of money! *seriously lots of money, up until i broke! :'(
karena merasa miskin akhirnya kan gw jadi jarang ke dokter eva, tapi berat badan gw stabil stabil aja, jadi gw seneng dan nyantai kaya di pantai, jarang ke dr.eva dan makan ga se-diatur dulu yang jam nya tetap..
nah, tapi akhir-akhir ini sekitar 3 hari terakhir gw makannya ga ke kontrol, ga ke kontrol disini adalah gw mulai religiously consume indomie** again! ahaha.
** those devilish delicioso noodle that almost everyone likes, yeah the cheap one, the one with various taste.. you must know it right right? -- kalo lo orang indonesia pasti tau deh, ini makanan wajib! ;p

pas gw diet, gw stop makan indomie, kembali hidup sehat dengan buah sayur dan nasi yang diatur.. and everyone believes*** (including me) gw bs lebih cepet turun kemaren2 itu ya krn gw stop makan indomie
*** oyeah, i forgot to tell you, kalo i was known as an indomie junkie, hihi
teruss teruss masalahnyaaa skrg gw lagi kumat kumatnya ketagihan indomie, dan gw ga mau investasi gw buyar! hahaha.. ini aja uda naik 1 kg, nuruninnya susah lagi nih, gaswat!gw juga jadi ngerasa kenyang mulu, padahal klo dulu kan gw makan bener2 seperlunya, aaaarrrhh..

my promise, with all of you as the witnesses : i will only eats indomie once every week, and only eat when i am hungry, and will cut back those snacks! PROMISE! ;) ;) ;)

fingers crossed,

words of wisdom -- about friendship, life and dreams. ♥

i found this interesting words of wisdom in a novel by Cecelia Ahern, the title is If You Could See Me Now.. i already write it with a lil' bit modifications in my facebook account, but i feel like to write it here again.. well here it is :

people lies in bed worrying about car tax and phone bills,
baby sitter or paint colors.
if you can't put magnolia on a wall
then there are always a million other colors you can use,
if you can't pay your phone bill then just write a letter telling them.

I'm not playing down the importance of these things,
yes you need money for food,
yes you need food to survive,
but you also need sleep to have energy,
to smile to be happy,
and to be happy so you can laugh,
just so you don't keel with heart attack.

People forget they have options.
and they forget that those things really don't matter.
they should concentrating on what they have and not what they don't have.
and by the way, wishing and dreaming doesn't mean concentrating on what you don't have,
it's positive thinking that encourages hoping and believing,
not whinging and moaning.

the reason behind why i wrote those words are because, the words are quite catchy and makes me remember some subjects, and some persons comes into my mind, it's obviously talked about people who spend their life worrying about soo many things, they forgot to actually live.. the just keep on lying -- whinging and moaning, to their self and everyone else..
what they don't know is that we knew.. about the lies, about everything..
and what is life without friends ?
what is life without dreaming in a positive way ?
what is life if you worrying too much ?
what is life if you put your feet on others and hurt them purposely ?
last, what is life if you can do it honestly and trully live it ?

my best regards,
♥ R

saturday : holiday -- rainy -- but not so gloomy and lazy

i currently addicted to this song :

Imagine all the girls,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the boys,
Ah ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
And the strings,
Eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee, eee.
And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.

it's the ting tings song - great dj or also known as the drums *

and NO, not because the current mizone advertisement on TV that used this song as a soundtrack, i like this song way back.. it was when i browsed through the queenbee-hunt website, there was a contestant that used this song for her creative video..

anyway, i just called a person who wants to sell her kittens! meaowwww! i want one.. she said, she's going to sell it cheap, if i'm going to take a good care of it, well off course! ive been longing to have a cat again, and i'm going to name him jack-jack! ;) she actually wants me to buy two, so the cat will have a friend.. but, i don't know if i'm capable to take care of two cats, right now.. hm whatever, i just hope i could get a cat as soon as possible! fingers crossed! :) :)

* you can hear the song in my current addiction album on your right side, it's the second song after the fear by lily allen.

can't wait!

lagu racun!

pernah berasa denger lagu,
yang padahal lo hina
lo caci
lo sumpah serapah
lo ga mau denger
tiap ada di tv, ganti channel
tiap ada di radio, ganti ke cd
tapiiiiii.. ga mau ilang-ilang dari kepala lo
lo nyanyiin terus-terusan the same sentences that stuck in your head
sampe lo kesel dan ngomel-ngomel sendiri
pernah ga? pernah ga?

gw sering, dan gw menyebut lagu itu, "lagu racun!" ahahaha.
my latest "lagu racun" adalah verra (or is it vierra?) - dengarkan curhatku
i repeatedly sing that song, which i only know the chorus, well it goes..
"dengarkan curhatkuuu.. -- katakan padaku katakan padakuuu..
semua rasa semua rasa cintaa -- " and bla di blaaa blaa..
coba deh dengerin, lo akan teracuni sel sel otaknya, dan mendadak afal liriknya padahal ga niat ngafalin, mendadak inget muka penyanyi-penyanyinya padahal cuma liat sekilas, mendadak humming atau nyanyi dalam hati padahal lagi bengong!
well i guess, the video and the lyric will be stuck in my head until i found another "lagu racun". ahahaha.

secret alert : actually, one of my "lagu racun" before this one is lagunya titi kamal, geezzzz it would never gotten any worser than that! she constantly wears fur in this tropical country for GOD sake! BANNED HER!

let's sing along! (YUCK!)

sunday mayday !

deja vu!

hari ini mengulang kejadian minggu lalu.. aaahhhrr!

jadi minggu lalu itu mobil gw mogok, berenti di tengah jalan
pas tanjakan
pas lampu merah
pas lampunya jadi ijo dan gw jadinya di klakson abis-abisan sama orang-orang!
waktu itu gw pikir gara-gara oli,
karena hari itu bokap gw uda bilang kalo oli mobil uda harus diganti
dan rencananya sebelum ke kampus, gw ke bengkel sendiri
dengan maksud ga nyusahin!
tappiiii emang dasar gw kan lelet,
jd karena gw uda keburu telat buat kumpul ngerjain tugas di kampus..
gw ga jadi ganti oli, haha!
naahh akhirnya pas mobil gw mendadak mati, gw langsung mikir
"anjrit, oli nya pasti kenapa-kenapa nih, mampus gw!"
tapi akhirnya mobil gw bisa idup lagi, di tengah klaksonan orang-orang jakarta yang ga punya rasa empati sama sekali kayanya, bukannya bantuin liat cewe nyetir sendirian mobil mogok! padahal gw uda pake lampu hazard..
anyway, abis mobil gw bs nyala, gw langsung minggir ke parkiran ruko deket pondok indah situ, mana gw ditungguin temen gw yang mau nebeng kaann, jd gw makin panik deh! (akhirnya temen gw ke kampus sendiri *maaf ya peh!* dan gw ga ke kampus)
setelah beberapa lama, gw nyalain mobil deh, dan ternyata bisa.. dan setelah nelp bokap, bayu, dll gw akhirnya memutuskan ketemu sm bayu di belleza sebelom bawa mobil balik ke rumah, tadinya sih bayu mau nyusul gw, tapi males bgt nunggu dia kena macet di gandaria, jadi mending ketemu di tengah..
dengan anggapan kalo mobil gw butuh oli, jadilah si bayu bawain gw oli baru..
tapiii di tengah jalan, dan sekali lagi
pas tanjakan
pas trafficnya padat
pas di klakson abis-abisan sama orang-orang!
lebih tepatnya di jembatan permata hijau,
gw menyadari mobil gw temperaturnya naik, uda hampir ke merah!
panik panik! paniikkk! (padahal gw termasuk orang yang jarang panik)
setelah ketemu sm bayu dan berusaha menganalisa dan nelp org-org yg lebih ngerti
kita masih juga gatau knp! haha. (rada ga jelas kamu dateng buat apa yang, karena kita ga bisa masukin oli nya juga ahahaha, tapi makasih sayang! kalo gada kamu aku pasti makin panik haha)
akhirnya kita nyerah dan ujung-ujungnya nyusahin,
jadilah bokap gw nyusul, ngisi air radiator yg kering bgt dan bawa mobil pulang..
usut punya usut ya masalahnya emang di radiator, bukan oli! dasar gw sotoy dan keburuu panik emang deh! ahahahaha.

naaaahhh balik lagi ke si deja vu,
hari ini tepat 1 minggu setelah kejadian di atas
mobil tebengan gw sehari-hari, si karimun item dengan gantungan strawberry gede
mobil punya si apuut, mendadak ndut-ndut'an
trus si aput juga sama
dia langsung berasumsi itu karena air aki nya udah mau abis
karena supirnya uda bilang aput harus isi air aki lagi
jadilah kita ke pom bensin di lenteng agung, beli air aki
tapi si mas-mas sombong males ga mau bantu kita isi
yauda akhirnya memutuskan untuk minta tolong temen kita aja di kampus
jalan lagi nih kita, trus mobilnya aput masih ndut-ndut'an
gatau kenapa karena gw inget mobil gw yang sebelom mati mendadak itu juga ndut-ndut'an
gw perhatiin terus temperaturnya si karimun,
eh bener aja sampe deket stasiun lenteng agung, temperaturnya naik bgt!
gw langsung nyuruh aput minggir, yang untungnya pas banget bengkel
kita berenti dan akhirnya meng hire orang di bengkel itu buat isi air aki (tetep jaga-jaga) sama isi air radiator, kalo kata mas-mas bengkelnya, soket dinamonya ga kenceng jadi kipas radiatornya ga jalan.. walaupun mobil aput belom bener dan sampe kampus juga masih sempet naik temperaturnya, but we finally got home safe and sound.. :)

the meaning behind all this adalaaahhh :
1. women should learn a thing or two about cars, so we didn't end up sotoy and made false assumptions (like i did)
2. you should always listen to your parents (not like i did, when my father told me not to bring the car, i bring it eventually)
3. checked your cars every now and then, don't just know how to drive it (like i did)
4. and last but not least, what people said to you about your car, are not always the reason your car having problems (like i thought then)
5. well there's another one.. when you see me drive, avoid everything i did and run for your life! LOL


drive safely fellas!
