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,
