That's why you should be one of our customers now!!

Like a week ago or so, we had this small junior high reunion. I went there with Simon and Debby, had a bottle of cold beer and went home.

The bitches of self-phototaking.

Last Friday night, my friends took me to this cool place in Ancol. I really really love this place. It reminds me of Bali so much since it is super similiar to Kudeta (Oberoi - Bali). The lighting, the music, and the beach bring the great atmosphere of coziness. The only thing I wasn't so glad about Segarra is their pricey food. The food was quite delicious but I guess it's still too expensive, at least for me.

Me, Abol and Nezi.

Eric, Neza, Andi.

Mario (the Backstreet Boys boy, haha!!) and Sasmita.

I told Simon and Debby about Segarra and told them that they could even use the place for weddings. They could block the whole area. I was actually picturing my own wedding at Segarra. Hahaha! With a little bit drama on my description, I finally convinced them to go there.

So on Sunday I went there for the second time, with Abol, Simon, and Debby.

Hung out at Chatterbox La Piazza, where I told all dramatized descriptons about Segarra.

And they loved it. I knew they would!

The super whiney freak couple. Hahaha!

I'm quite sure you can find the complete review of this place including the foods on Simon's Blog. He was super busy taking pictures during our time there.

Me and Abol.

Hey! Wait a second! I think I see long hair in the picture... YUP!! That's right! It's all about extensions and my new beautiful long hair. I'm a super happy person and I love my new hair! And I know everybody loves it too!! Hahaha!! It's actually the third hairstyle I've tried in less than a year. The first was my super blonde highlight (June 2007). The second was the bangs (November 2007).

In case you need a clearer view, here's another shot of my new hair. Teeheehee!!

LOVELY! :D

bling bling

I always love bling bling. Shiny stuffs always make me turn my head and show my dreamy eyes.

Since I first saw my CDMA phone (before I bought it), I knew that someday I would put some rhinestones on it and make it a bling gadget. So two days ago, I went to Plaza Indonesi (Toko Renda) and bought some flatback crystals.

I went home that day, tried so hard (by hard, I mean I spent almost 3 hours) to find a cute or cool design to put the crystals. But nothing was good enough for me, so I put the crystals back on its plastic container and went to sleep.

The next day I decided to googled some good and simple design. I was a little bit shocked when I found so many things bling-ed up, from the most common one to the most uncommon but gorgeous ones.

There's one Netherlands company which actually specialized in headphones custom design for famous DJs, it's called Bling Affair. They put Swarovski crystals all over your headphones and make it on of a kind with the design you choose. But they are now taking orders for your other gadget too.

Here are some of the designs :

Digital Camera

iPod Video, but they also do iPod Shuffle and Nano.

Hey, they crystalize the earphones too!! Cute!

Sony PSP

Zippo

And finally their masterpiece, the headphones...

I personally think the skull and crossbones are super cool!!

On other site I found other cute bling bling items.

Blutooth headset

Lipsticks cases (Kinda useless I think, since yo don't show your lipstick case that much..)

Namecard holders

I found another cool stuffs!!

TADAAA!!! Office stationary!! They're the Jeweled Desk Set. You can get the optical mouse and stapler for $80 each and the tape dispenser for $89 on Neiman Marcus. I'd love to have a set! Haha...

Enjoy your bling drinks! I love the bottle. The tall and slim shape, the smooth tempered glass, the logo's font, everything not forgetting the bling! I wonder if the water taste as fabulous...

And now, I'm about to present you the most amazing office stationary slash jewelry. Are you ready?

Isn't it amazing? It's Phillip Swarovski Crystal USB Flash Drive. You can wear it as a necklace too. Each drive is studded with real Swarovski crystal and you can have it for $2000. What a price...

Well anyways, after all the blings I found on the internet I still didn't find the perfect design for my phone. So I decided to just glued the crystals on my phone without further thinking. By the way, the glue I bought at Toko Renda is great. It has a super pointy-needle like tip to make it easier to glue small piece as crystals. It's a special glue for crafts actually.

I spent 4 straight hours gluing the rhinestones to get my phone its new look :

My bling phone

It's not that "Paris Hilton" enough. But I'm quite happy with the result. I used the grey, white and turquoise crystals. When I get bored with it, I could just remove all the crystals, clean the glue marks and apply new designs. Hmm... I'm thinking of a few cool aor cute colors for next time. Hahaha...

I had fun doing this kinda things and I'm thinking of my other gadget to be bling-ed up.

*speaking to my NDS*

Do you wanna get a beautiful new look? Yes, I knew you do! Patient..patient.. I'm gonna bling you up soon!! Nyahahahhahha....

The results of my analysis say:

You plan ahead, and are interested in beauty, design, outward appearance, and symmetry.
You are a social person who likes to talk and meet others.
You are diplomatic, objective, and live in the present.
You are a talkative person, maybe even a busybody!
You are self-confident and like to bring attention to yourself.

Simon's right! It's always fun to try these kinda things!

i realize...

I read a post just now and I realized I've been a really bad person.

I saw a picture of a little boy sitting on a bed in a hospital. He was waiting for his chemotherapy procedure to be done. Yes, he's suffering cancer. He looked so frail and terrified. He looked tired. He kept on calling his mommy with his powerless voice.

Could you imagine what kind of days he has to go through? What kind of fear he has in mind? What kind of pain he has to suffer? How many gloomy face he has to see everyday? He has to bear the pain while trying to understand what is happening to himself. He's just a little boy.

I'm picturing him...
Playing with his friends.
Running here and there.
Thinking happy thoughts.
Being careless and free.

I always think that I'm living a boring and sad life. I always feel like I don't have enough of everything. I ask for too many things and always get a little upset whenever I talk about how I couldn't get those things.

Never realized...

I still have my "super ribet" family.
I still have my silly friends.
I still have my job.
And most importantly, I'm healthy up till this very moment...

I guess I have to be grateful for things that I have and stop complaining about ones I don't have...

p.s. my prayers for Pak Danang, the little boy in the picture, and all people fighting cancer.

Gotta keep that burning spirit and never cease till you get your life back...

Unbelievably ridiculous

**Comments are allowed on this post, but to avoid misunderstanding and a more complicated conflict, I have the right to not respond to them and to delete harmful ones**

Earlier this morning, I was browsing for new updates on Heath Ledger’s death and I found something shocking. I found this headline: “Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) is to protest on Heath’s funeral”.

Here’s what they say about our good guy’s death:

"Yes. WBC will picket this pervert’s funeral, in religious protest and warning: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked.” Gal. 6:7. Heath Ledger thought it was great fun defying God Almighty and His plain word; to wit: God Hates Fags! & Fag-Enablers! Ergo, God hates the sordid, tacky bucket of slime seasoned with vomit known as ‘Brokeback Mountain’ - and He hates all persons having anything whatsoever to do with it.
Heath Ledger is now in Hell, and has begun serving his eternal sentence there - beside which, nothing else about Heath Ledger is relevant or consequential."

I don’t know whether it’s real or someone made that up. Still, it is so cruel of them to say such things, and more importantly, just because Heath nicely played a role as a gay cowboy. I mean, who are they to judge someone they didn’t know –and even WORSE- WHO ARE THEY TO THINK THEY HAVE ALL THE RIGHTS TO SAY SOMEONE DESERVES HELL??!!

“God hate fags!” à Who are they to even dare to say things on behalf of God?
I guess they really think they’re God. Or maybe they’re trying to make God think what they think and do what they do. They were so heartless and mean to go above and beyond disrespecting the deceased.

Being Christian is not making you the most perfect creature in the whole universe. It doesn’t give you the rights to judge people. I am Christian and it doesn’t make me perfect. In fact, I have to admit there are people out there that are way better that me.

I’m not saying that I completely and perfectly understand God & Christianity, but I guess anybody could tell that WBC people obviously don’t understand that at all.

Nobody understands something better that its creator. Nobody understands others like God understands us, for He is our Creator. That’s why, I’ve learn to think before I speak, to see inside myself before bad judging words slip through my lips. Am I better then others? Or maybe I’m just one of them…



“… Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” (Luke 23 :34)

Heath Ledger (28), R.I.P

Yesterday, Hollywood has lost one of its good guys. Heath Ledger, the kind-hearted and down-to-earth actor, was found dead in his apartment’s bedroom around 3 PM.

The police said there’s no obvious indication of suicide evident in this case. They found sleeping pills near his body, but yet no exact cause of death is published until this very second. An autopsy is reportedly being performed today.

Ledger took on a character as the Joker in his (happen to be) last performance. He told The New York Times that he “stressed out a little too much” during this film, and had trouble sleeping while portraying the Joker, whom he called a “psychopathic, mass-murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy.”

“Last week I probably slept an average of two hours a night,” Ledger told the newspaper. “I couldn’t stop thinking. My body was exhausted, and my mind was still going.” He said he took two Ambien pills, which only worked for an hour, the paper said.

We really never know when our time comes. For some people it may seem too soon while for some other it may never seem to come.

It is my true hope that he is resting in peace now. My deepest condolence to his family, especially to Matilda, his 2 years old daughter from his ex-fiancé, Michelle Williams.

woke up on the wrong side of the bed

I guess I’ve forgotten how hard it is to get out of my comfort zone and start something new for the sake of my so-called brighter future. To stay forever inside the zone is the last thing I want for myself. But sometimes I feel I just can’t stand the pain of struggling to fit myself into the new mold.

And just now, in the middle of the tough process, I looked back and my “comfy” past seemed to pull me back and spellbind me, gently persuade me to end the fight.

I know I have to stay on remolding myself. But I feel so insecure. I want to stay in my used-to-be-happy life without have to think about my future whatsoever.

Just like the quote says, I want to work like I don’t need money. Want to dance like no one sees me. Want to sing like no one hears me. Want to love like I’ve never been hurt. Most of all, I want to love anybody I want to love without have to think about anything else, especially the future. Coz that’s what makes me live like this was Heaven on Earth, at least for this very moment…

But then, I realize that “now” will soon be “yesterday” and eventually I’ll be in the “future”.

*sigh*

All I really need is a determination.
