i hope they saw a black cat while walking under a ladder.
and yeah.... i'm being mean for once. so sue me.

KRISTOS ANESTI. ALITOS ANESTI. KRISTUS TELAH BANGKIT, BENAR DIA TLAH BANGKIT. HAPPY PASCHA EVERYONE!

i'm so tired...physically. my feet and legs hurt so bad that i can only take slow steps. my shoulder ache because my camera was heavy, but i didn't realize just how much until the end of the day.

yup. i've been walking around taking pics at campus and then at church.

and now i'm hungry, i smells, and i just found out that Lady is much more angrier than i've realized, how do i know? she sulks. and when she sulks she do things she wouldn't normally do or know she's not supposed to, such as pee in the house. but today, she pee on my bed. can my day go any worse?? i got my period.

and i gotta do again what i do today, tomorrow. "yippie"

Lord please gice me the streght for tomorrow.

Yesterday Holy Wednesday more people showed up. Actually the church was 3/4 full, so that was good. Some of the foreigners also came including the Greeks from my brother's office. Yesterday was the "Sakramen Perminyakan". And the sinner that we are, me and my sister couldn't help to notice that the service book in our hands were quite thick and wondered how long will it last..... he he he [Gomen. Gomen.]

It doesn't take that long actually, only 2 hours, maybe its the heat that made it felt the time was dragging, plus i made a bod choice with my "selendang/kerudung/tutup kepala" coz it was quite thick.... well, at least its thicker than i usually wear. Gotta remind myself about it for tonight, plus tonight I wanna take some pics, coz tonight is the "Arak-arakan Salib"

I leave you for now with the pics that me and bu Jay took at the photobooth at Blok M Plaza last thursday. One I made smaller coz one of us don't feel quite prepare to show the world her silly face while the other one kinda loving it *_^ and the other one is the pic where we pretend to look "normal" ^_^


o ya bu Jay, masa Mayday udah ngeluarin CD baru lagi.. 'the best of' gitu kalo nggak salah. Aiyo.. yang kemaren aja belum ke beli hiks...hiks.. Ternyata yang satu orang itu keluar karena tugas militer.. he he he gue kira kenapa. kapan ke GMP lagi..? Ira ikut yah yah yah..he he he.

[update]--------------------------------------------------------

so tired now... it's an hour before the night change into Friday morning and I've just got back from church about half an hour ago. tonight the service for Holy Thursday was the longest so far. As usual it started at 6 pm and ended around 9.30 pm. Took some pictures though tonight, coz its the night of "Pemikulan Salib" (when Jesus was crucifed). Kinda hard to read the lithurgy book coz the church was left dark, only the candles was lighted and we were suppposed to sang in half voice. It was very solemn (except when my camera made its noice.. that's why i only took pictures in some chosen moment.. dui bu chi!). And when at the end we made our respect and knelt and then kissed the big cross where Jesus' icon was hang.. felt like crying. So sad that I'm gonna miss the "penurunan ikon Yesus" tomorrow coz I have to take pictures of the event in my campus. Only able to join the Holy Friday for "arak-arakan keranda"

oh yeah, finally bought the original cd of Meteora this afternoon at Carrefour near campus, was gonna bought the "Never Ending Story" package, but LP got to me more... next time ^_^

can't imagine what i'm gonna be like the next couple of days, tomorrow I have to be at campus by 9 a.m and going around took pictures of the "expost" (Maya said the crew people will got a tshirt... hopefully..he he he.. and hopefully it fits me!) until, my guess... 5 or 6 pm. then straight to church.. and take some more pics. something for saturday and sunday noon... my poor feet.....
nighty nite beautiful people... be good to each other ^_^

I missed about half an hour of "David Tao's Top Ten Favourite MV on MTV Asia". Damned those MTV for not letting us know in advance..pfft. David looked good in his blue shirt, I wonder if that's the same blue shirt that he wore at that one on one interview all those months ago.. it's not like its the first time I saw him wearing something twice. I think its kinda cool of a big celeb like him to do that. Ah, and a full half an hour listening to him talking in a language that I actually understand! such a bliss. he he he

He talked about his choice of videos which I'm glad that he noticed that his choices are classic.. i was hoping for more "up to date" videos, but that's okay too. Glad to say that our taste matches ^_^ [he chose MV by REM, Alanis,Boyz II Men, Lauryn hill, Sheryl Crow, Jamiroquai and well, his last choice was Creep by Radio Head and guess what those insane people at MTV Asia played instead.. TLC's Creep... what's up with that?, he he he he

One thing I noticed that we're so different is.. he doesn't have a TV in his house! (not sure which house.. Taiwan or LA)Yikes. He must be one of the rarest people, let alone a famous musician that I know who doesn't have a telly!! What's up with that Dave dear?
Another thing, he still doesn't see the point or the perfect reason why he should make an English album!! Goodness me David, as much as I love your music and as much as I can drool hours by hours just by looking at you, to able to fully understand your songs in their lyrical side is like my ultimate dream as your fans... if not, why would I bother to paid someone to translate your "Black Tangerine". Now, I'm saving some money so that I can have your other albums translated.

So much for my rant, not like he's going to read this entry anyway. He's not an internet guy. Although I wish againt wish, and hope against hope, and pray that someone related or knows him would, and tell him about it ^_^ And if you're that 'someone', please tell him this... I can guarentee that there's gonna be more than 1 people gonna come to his show if he come to Jakarta. So, please David Tao... come to Jakarta pleaseeeeeeee

just checked
# Global TV Top Ten Fave Vid @ 9 pm this Friday (but don't know of its David or not)
# Global TV MTV2 $2 Bill : Linkin Park @ 3pm this Sunday!!!!

on my CD player:
Toshinobu Kubota's the best of..
Evanescence's fallen.

on my MP3: LP' reanimation

Surprise..!!!!

and the look on Heri's face made all the trouble so worth it.
I was not one of the very busy people 'behind the scene' for Heri's surprise party, I was just invited to attend and on the d-day I helped a bit. Heri and his girlfried were not really my close close friends, but we are friends, the kind of friends who are more than people who you smile and say hi to when you pass them by in the hallway.

Maya and i promised to meet up @Kalibata mall at 3.45 pm coz I fell asleep after coming home from church... (he he he gomen ne.) Then we went to pick up the birthday cake, and about an hour later (plus nyasar-nyasar dulu) we're back at Heri's rented room (is that how you say "kost-kostan" in English? he he he). Maya was panicking coz its almost 5.30 and the people who were supposed to be there hasn't come yet. So I had to SMS his gf to stall. After much preparation and SMS-ing and waiting, finally at 7 pm we got the 'signal', a missed call from Dharma, our collage friends who also rented a room in the same house. We turned off the light, and tried badly to keep ourself quite and not commenting how hot it was in his room. The suspense building and when Heri's unlocked the door (we were locked inside his room, Dharma borrowed the spare key to the house owner) and the moment he pushed the door open, Julpra's gf switched on the light and I yanked the door wide open and we yell "SURPRISED!!!! and he was very suprised indeed. He was so suprised and just went speechless. He didn't even realized what happened to his room until a few minutes later. (All his stuff were moved to Dharma's room)

We ate, share stories of how all this could happened thanx to the people behind the scene, namely his gf Lilis, Maya, Julpra & Pritha. The "nasi uduk" was yummy as well as the Black forest It was almost 9 pm when we had to go home before the bus is getting scarry coz the poeple whose house are very far were the girls.

I remember my own suprise party long time ago but it was not for my birthday, but for my farewell party. The day before the D-day, me and the rest of my family went to our doctor to had some shots (they said after a couple of years in UK and before going to any Asian countries we had to take this shots, don't remember what excatly but i remember a couple of shots in my butt and me and needles..,we just don't get along. Except of course sewing needles.) anyway, after that doctor visit, my brother drove my Mum and me to Tante Frieda's house, 45 mintues outside London, for our last sleep over. I didn't know it was part of the plan to get me out of the house. But that night i got the side effect of the drug injection, and spend the night down with a fever.

The next day, i didn't even bother to take a bath or wash my hair coz the fever left over was still there. At about 6 pm, Tante Frieda drove my mum and I back to London. When we got to our house, I was confused coz our house was very dark but there's an indonesian' car parked on the street in front of our house. How do I know it belongs to an Indonesian? the diplomatic licence number. Dead give away don't you think? *_^
I made some small comment like "why is it so dark?" and "whose car is that?" and when I stepped inside the house... surpise....!!!... i saw some very familiar faces and familar faces that i wouldn't normally see in my house except if there's a big indonesian people event. Then my bestfriend, TJ gave me this big bouquet of flowers, and what did I do after realizing what happened? Why I cried of course, which made my bestfriend also cried and the others just watched. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. My Mum send me upstairs, and after a few minutes freshen up in which then I have the "regret for not washing my hair so I keep the ponytail moment, I went downstairs and enjoyed the party. It was small but very nice, everyone even wrote a little "goodbye's notes' in a big card which I still keep to this day. It was kinda funny to think back, how when TJ tried to call my mum it was always me who picked up the phone, and finally she just said "Is your Mum there? My mum wanna talk to her." ^_^ or how they had to use one of those paper plates and plastic spoon, coz a lot of our own stuff has already on their way to Jakarta. It was one of those day that I won't forget. It was nice and I miss those people... I miss the house in 53 Edgeworth Crescent... and I miss the room above the garage... and believe it or not, I really do miss the London' weather! he he he

PS. 2 Nita and arb3i, the meteor garden fanfic is in your mail... i hope. ^_^ and to monique.. i don't have your email dear. so if u want.. can u email me first? thanx ^_^

[update]-------------------------------------------------------

tonight i'm being 'smart' in my choice of road to take so that i didn't spend too much time stuck in traffic jam on my way to church. We're starting the Holy Week, and today is Holy Monday. There's no Lithurgy (Perjamuan Kudus) because it's been done in the morning, so the service tonight was shorter. It started at 6pm and by 7.30 pm we've finished. After that me, Father Gabriel, my brother and his wife and Romi went to Izzi Pizza, but no one actually ate one.. he he he he.

The puppy, Draco love to tease Lady. So at one end Lady was sporting her meanest look and growl while at the other end this tiny grey ball of fur barked his tiny squeeky bark I had fun just watching them ^_^ Found out another thing, the other two Labrador who had their bath today, is not really excited about the tiny little Draco. emak a.k.a. Feloni don't really give a thought about him one way or the other while ungkel a.k.a. Kelly afraid of him!! Don't know if this is still the case when all of them are in much better environment and one floor! I think they'll be fine, but i won't bet a penny on Lady *_^

Draco once again woke me up when even the sun still sleeping. I'm so ready to back to just having Lady. She's smart, understand me and I understand her. Let the real owner got the headache from their puppy. Although now by the look of it, Draco answering to me only. This pup is such a drag.

Went to campus but the Teater Pintu has already finished their practice. And about one and a half hout later, me- rilla- gita-boyke- johan- ipung- iwan spend the rest of the afternoon cramped in mysmall room watching a japanese movie called "Water Boys". So much fun watching a hilarious movie with other people.. you got double the laugh than if you're watching it alone. ^_^
Bu Jay, can you please..please.. copy "the messanger" & "my sassy girl" for me? Pleaseee... pleaseee...

Then Si Djenggot came and we watched "MTV' 2$Bill: Linkin Park"
Brilliant. Amazing. So 'beep' awesome!!! Really hope I'll have the chance to attend their concert someday. ^_^
and by the way...

HAPPY EASTER!!!
may the true feeling of peace be inside you. God bless ^_^

here's a chapter of my version of MG *_^

It wasn't until the next day when Xi Men able to get away from his office. He stopped his car at his best friend' house. The front door was opened even before he raised a hand to press on the doorbell.
In fact he don't know why A Se house got that doorbell when it was never use anyway. There's always some servant to open the door to welcome guest.

"Good Evening Harry, is A Se here?" Xi Men asked the butler, a man he has known for almost ten years.
"Young Master A Se is in his bed room sir"
"Thanks Harry" Xi Men replied and went towards the stairs that would bring him to his friend's bedroom area.

Without knocking Xi Men open a door and enter.
"A Se, you're decent?" he yelled.
He found his friend sitting on the long couch in his room, watching the television. A Se turned his head and watched his friend enter.
"Don't you ever think of knocking the door before you come in and shout?" A Se asked.
Xi Men smiled.
"Why bother? I know you would be here alone anyway. San Chai would never come here if she could help it"
A Se glared at his friend.
"Don't be such a know it all person, you nosey playboy." A See said grumbles. "What are you doing here anyway? Your supermodel dumps your ass?"
"Don't be such a high temper man or San Chai will leave you one of this day" Xi Men answered his friend coolly, ignoring his annoyance.
"I'm here to visit you, and you should be glad. All alone in this big empty house with nothing else to do. Another fight?"
"I'm not fighting with San Chai. Why is people always assumed we're fighting? We're doing just fine. In fact I'm waiting for her call so I can pick her up and drive her home"
"Such a diligent boy friend" Xi Men teased," Why not just buy her a car or order one of your nothing to do driver to do it?"
"Because, I like doing it for her." A Se answer simply. Xi Men teased him even more.
"Ooh, what a lovable boyfriend you are" A Se almost throw the pillow on his lap to Xi Men when his mobile phone rings.
He look side way to a grinning Xi Men, then picked up his phone from the table.
"Saved by the bell, and speaking of the devil…" A Se said," Hello?"
"I'm at home, where are you?"
"No you will not take a taxi. I said I'll pick you up then I will pick you up"
"I don't care what time it is"
"Are you finished?"
"Well, finish what ever you girls need to finish and I'll pick you up."
"Fine. Half an hour. The usual place. And don't you be late"

Xi Men listening to this one sided conversation with amusement. He always teased his friend about his relationship with his long time girlfriend San Chai. He was there helping both of them going through the rocky beginning. He knows how much they love each other behind their constant argument and he's glad that now they're still with each other.

A Se put down his phone and turned to his friend, "What are you grinning about? Your grin is ugly you know that? Makes you look like an idiot."
Xi Men laughed at his friend' bantering.
"Nothing. You guys are so cute" he grinned," so where is San Chai?"
"Out with her friend." A Se replied while getting up. He turned off the television and grabbed his jacket from another couch.
"I have to pick her up now. You playboy with no supermodel want to tag along?"
Xi Men considered it for a minute, he came here to ask his friend casually if he knew anything about San Chai's friend Xiou You, but then he thought it could wait.
"Sure, why not. I haven't seen San Chai for a while now."

woke up very early coz Draco wants his milk. made it with my eyes still half close. and fall asleep again which was a bad thing coz... well, let's just say i'm in deep shit now.

how's a cup of Vanilla Coffee and a slice of Blueberry Cheesecake for b'fast sounds to you..? *_* it's very yummy indeed. just don't tell me mum i ate another cake, coz i should've watch my sugar intake he he he he

kinda regretting not buying Reanimation sooner... it's just bloody fantastic! It's not a remix album, at least not the typical remix album. It just sounds so different than Hybrid Theory and even better. Love it. Love it. And Meteora..? Great new album. Love these guys. Can't wait to play it full volume... had to tone it down a bit coz the noise still scares Draco.. ^_^

hmmm, planning another girl's nite out with Mrs. Jay tonight. She wants to see a movie, so we can brake our "let's go see amovie but we never did" curse. But bu.... all the movies are kinda crappy.. u sure u don't wanna wait for a better one? U sure u don't want to use your money for Jay's CD that u wanted so much instead? coz I'm paying the rest of my unpaid Edison tonite.. *wink wink* Btw, do you have my Mika Nakasima CD with you today? Can I have it back please? Is my Toshinobu Kubota with you also.. I forgot if I lend it to you or not, but I can't seem to find it anywhere in my house. And if you wanna borrow some of the CD that I recently bought, I can come to your office sooner, so you'll have time to copy it. Just let me know, K dhalin..? Eh..mau fotobox nggak??? ha ha ha ha sebelum gue potong rambut nih.. dan biar rambut barumu juga ter-"record"..he he he
[update]

lookie Tre, mine hinger.. ha ha ha ha ha
why is that though?? hmmm...


My personality is rated 31.What is yours?quiz by midgetfarm.com


Others see you as fresh, lively, charming, amusing, practical, and always interesting; someone who's constantly in the center of attention, but sufficiently well-balanced not to let it go to their head. They also see you as kind, considerate, and understanding; someone who'll always cheer them up and help them out

here's a nice one to know of me, for myself. hmmm..



I am in 75% control of my life.Who controls yours?quiz by midgetfarm.com


You have a healthy mix of internal drive and belief in external forces (fate, your friends, coworkers, luck). You know when something is your job, and if you want it to turn out good, you will work on it. You also know when something is beyond your control, and you're usually OK with that

udah ah.. quiz mulu.. baek gue mandi dulu kali yah.. he he he
ada yang mau ikutan..? :p
-------------------------------------------------------
[update]

went out with Tre to Blok M hasilnya jadi but we didn't watch any movie coz although she wanted to brake 'the curse', i didn't feel like watching any movie, plus there wasn't any movie that interest me enough, well.. i don't mind seeing "Tusuk Jaelangkung" but we know how she feels about horror movie *_^

I got my Converse All Star classic, in black. It's an old design I know, but that's what I want. I'm happy. Although I'm a size 38, but this time I fit in size 36! ^_^
We also went for a session of "photobooth" moment ha ha ha ha kebanyakan muka-muka manis.. or in her words.. ibu-ibu arisan! can't wait for her to scan it so i can show it to you. I love the ugly faces that she and I made. And I decided to wear my LP t'shirt even though tadinya a bit doubtful. Soalnya ternyata agak-agak luntur... mudah-mudahan cucian ke dua nggak parah-parah amat, coz i still wanna wear it again.

Got the "Gensomaden Saiyuki" soundtrack. Wanna buy the OVA or the series itself... maybe next time.. no more money for that. And I bought one of "Gackt" album, Mars, to see if he's any good. Heard he is, so let's hope that he is.

Tre stopped by to picked ip her vcd and she met 'Draco'.... she falls for him in an instant. Gotta take his pics before he grow even more and lose all that puppy cuteness ^_^
Nighty nite beautiful people... be safe... take care.

last night i've got things on my mind that i wanna write down on my blog, some stuff about things around me and some things because of some other's people topics on their blogs, but now.. it has flown away. oh well, maybe it'll come back someday.

so let me just update you on the puppy thing.
On Monday, Father Gabriel and I went out but then we decided to postponed our movie watching until some movie that we actually like is playing, we're waiting for Johnny English & Bringing Down The House. I love Rowan Atkinson, but I like him not because of his world famous Mr. Bean character, but because this other show called Blackadder. Mostly because i saw Blackadder first..and he's not being too silly. Has anyone seen "Malibu Most Wanted"? I wanna know if the film as funny as they say it was. It looks funny enough..

So we just went to lunch and then because my brother wanna borrow his car we couldn't stay out long. We did went to Blok M so that I can look for some doggy food and toys for the puppy. My goodness the petshop stinks!! I had to hold my breath and breathe through my mouth instead, I guess it was because of the mix smell of so many animals in one small space that made the smell unbareable to me. I bought a can of dog food and a rubber red shoe which squeek when you squeeze them. I didn't have much to choose from so, for the time being that will do. Gotta buy some more toys and a teddy of his own though. Draco, the puppy, seems to have this "heated" relationship.. he charged and bite and made this funny anger noises when he bites the teddy bear, but then he likes to cuddleup to the teddy bear when he sleeps. After buying those stuff, we went to Hero Supermarket and bought some Pepsi Twist and some yummy snacks and Quickly bubble tea and went home. The street was kinda strange I notice, the usually jam packed streets were quite.. empty. And it's lunch hour when we went out. Not that we're complaining coz it's nice to actually went out somewhere in the street of Jakarta with less traffic jam. But on our way back the Tendean-Pancoran-Tebet area was packed as usual. We spoke too soon.

Everyone love to come to my room and play and cuddles with Draco these days. And I have to deal with the rest of the shit... literally. Maybe I should just open a day care centre for puppy... nah. it's a bad idea. I might lose my temper and strangle them all... he he he just joking. well, kinda. Lady still held her chin high and don't wanna have anything to do with the new puppy. She hates him to the bone... hopefully it'll change soon enough, or.. the trouble will keep on coming.. *sigh*

[FYI, for some of you who's wondering what am I doing going out with a priest... okay. hold the suspicion guys.. in fact, throw it way away. I've been friends with Father Gabriel even before he went to New York to study theology and a couple of years ago become an Orthodox Presbiter (priest) and I hold much respect for him as a priest, but he's still a friend too, actually he's a friend of me, my brothers and the whole family. And he still has his crazy side and show it too once in a while.. just dont tell him I tell you ;) ]

PS. Bu Jay... wanna go out tonight or tomorrow night? Ke Blok M? or PS. Whereever, as long as I can buy a Converse shoes. And any news from My Idol Shop?

[update]---------------------------------------------------

For Lee Hom fans *_^ here's a link to find out about Wang Lee Hom new movie, Moon Child.

today just sucks... my joy was found in CSI & Ally McBeal (more Jon Bon Jovi) and crank up my stereo to LP' Reanimation & Chemistry' Second to None.

funny lil tid bit: "Draco", actually hide away when Reanimation was played. the noises scared him! ^_^
here's hoping tomorrow will be much brighter..cheers!

A friend asked me this not too long ago.
"By the way, what happened with MG3? You're still writing it right?"
And tonight, as usual, I was just clicking around inside my PC when I click on the "My Fanfic" folder. Then I click a title and read the last chapter that I've finished. The feelings back. I had sensed it coming like a week but kinda ignored it, plus I was busy with something else. Now, the feelings getting stronger. And the new Penny Dai CD doesn't help. Why? Coz as a bonus.. one of the song was the famous ending theme for Meteor Garden 1 (ni yau te ai). I miss this particular feeling of mine. You see, I'm writing my own version of MG3, why? Because I'm still not satisfiy with the ending of my favourite character. When MG1 ended, it had the same effect on me and I wrote a story based on the characters of MG that I like. I've finished that, although didn't realised it was gonna be that long. But I'm satisfied. And now, or until a couple of months ago, I was in the middle of writing my version of MG3. It's already up to chapter 9 and still in the beginning of the whole story, eventhough I was planning not making another long fanfic. Argh.. gotta finish this translation very soon so that I can write my story again. ^_^ Oh well, at least I've decided on the title, "remember to forget", based on an Irish Prayer that I've read. I think the prayer kinda fits the way the plot that I'm planning.

"Always remember to forget
The things that made you sad.
But never forget to remember
The things that made you glad.
Always remember to forget
The friends that proved untrue.
But never forget to remember
Those that have stuck by you.
Always remember to forget
The troubles that passed away.
But never forget to remember
The blessings that come each day."


By the way, ibu Editor, you haven't told me what you think of the story so far. The plots, the characters and so on. You have read it right? E-mail me soon ok, please..? I need some input. Xie Xie Ni. ^_^
and.... (you know this is coming...*_^) when are we really going to edit "Loving You"? my guess... after Pascha? ^_^

Goodnite beautiful people...Gods be.

bought this stuff yesterday:

Mandopop CDs:
-Jill
-Penny Dai; "no penn,no gain" (yg nyanyi end theme-nya Meteor Garden 1, her new album sounds great)
-Edison; "Hits or Misses" (yang ternyata in kanton, tp musicnya lumayan..pop ringan gitu deh)
-Wang Lee Hom; "Evolution."
and
-LP, Reanimation.
also
Japanese Drama OST Compilation.

Loves 'Jill' and 'Evolution',of course. The others has yet to be listen to :)
The Jap ost was great too, love it.

and I also bought ,HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS original vcd!!! [FYI, I recommend you buy it @carrefour, rp. 56 ribu. Original price rp. 59 ribu. lumayankan.]

but i guess the best part of it was... gue dibayarin. ^_^ Arigato gasaimasu to my Dad and bro.

Go Tiger! Go Tiger! Go Tiger!

I might not understand all the rules and gadgets and the pretty funny nicknames in the game of golf but I'm always happy when Tiger Wood won a game. So that now The Marsters has began... i hope Tiger will win it for the third time in a row! ^_^

Tre, I'm sorry to say that I really don't find any joy at all in watching "Starry Starry Night". The plot was okay in the beginning but the end just stupid, all the characters (including Roy's) annoys me to the bone and I won't watch it again even if its for the sake of Qui Ze. I love that guy, you know that, but his character just... makes me want to grabbed his shoulders and kiss him senseless.. hmm..that's not right... oh right, I mean, his character makes me want to grabbed him by shoulder and shake him senseless...so annoying.. specially that girl who wants to be his girl.I only enjoy watching part of "behind the scene" thing.. specially when Roy was in it.. shirtless.. ha ha ha ha ha.

But you know what, when I was watching Jay's "hui dao kuo qu" MV... I said to myself and even said it to MayLee that the girl's face looks familiar to me. At first I thought it was the girl from Lavender (the one who have a crush on xiao tung) or that singer who i have no idea what's her name was..but i remember her hair, and her hair was short and styled like that. And then, when I was watching the behind the scene thingy.. the girl who played Roy's gf talked.. bam. That's the same girl in Jay' "shui dao kuo qu" MV. Lucky girl indeed. Now, I don't dislike that much ^_^ well.. unless I make a mistake recognising of course. Y'know what... gave me those Korean type like "Hotelier" funny, good believable plots,kinda annoying sometimes, nice to look at people, happt and believable ending. That's all I ask. ^_^

I still haven't got my passion to write for this blog back. I don't know.. it didn't go on haitus or anything but it just.. not in me. Have a a few things that i felt like putting it down in writing but my mind at the moment is just in a jumble mess. So I leave it alone for the moment. I don't want to make me more crazy than I already am. So don't be scared. Don't leave. I'm not that weird.. really, I'm not...honest. ^_^

But I don't want to leave this blog empty or just full of BS quizzes. So what a girl to do..? who cares. I just want to write about yesterday, coz well.. I feel like writing it down and put it on record.

Yesterday I prepare myself for the night "Liturgi Prasidikara". During Great Lent we have Liturgi on Wednesdays and Fridays. But last night was rather special coz Metropolitan Nikitas joined us, Father Matius with us also and Father Manalu. The church is so pretty.. they've made so many changes for the last couple of months and the night before last they put wrought iron (was it called?) doors/gates like to Ruang Maha Kudus (Altar). It's just beautiful. When I've developed and scanned the pics, I'll show you.

So, I washed my hair, polished my nails, choose my clothes, prepared my cameras and running late... thankfully not that late, although when I arrived, the Lithurgy has already started. After the Lithurgy Metroplolitan talked in two languages. First he talked in Greek (coz there were a few foreigners turned out, although they weren't necessary Greek. We say the "Lord's Prayer" in Bhs. Indonesia, Greek, English, Arabic, Serb!) Father Manalu translated it into Bhs. Indonesia and then later on Metropolitan spoke in English and translated by Father Gabriel. He talked about his visits, the SARS issue (how it affected much more than we thought coz then no Fathers can come to China, HongKong, Singapore and Thailand to performed Lithurgy)and we got scolded also. He reminded us about past events that had broke the Jakarta's Paroikia Aghia Epiphania because some people thought they can "bend" the 2000 years old tradition, teaching and rules. He talked to us like any father would you know, when his children started to go with the wrong crowd or way of life. He reminded us again about this and that and remind us what being a Chirstian Orthodox is. What he said was nothing new of course, it just, sometimes we do need to be reminded again and again about who we are, what we are and what we're doing and have done. I just felt like crying. I know he's right, and I just felt like I've disappointed many people including God and myself and makes me really looking forward to the 'enjoy' these last couple of weeks of Great Lent and then Holy Week.

On the lighter side, after that we had buffet dinner together, and as usual Alexandros Roy Marten's house was used to held the dinner. It's been a while since the drive way was packed with cars..hmmm, hopefully come Pascha it'll be much more chaotic ^_^ There were many people and the night was quite hot that I just don't feel like quequeing with the rest, plus I didn't feel that hungry either although later maybe I should've coz the non-indonesian people brought some yummy food also and i missed that. shoot! *_^ I brought my Nikon F90 to take some pics coz I just have to.. and lucky thing I did coz then many people asked me to take their pics with Metropolitan Nikitas. You see, whenever he came and spend time with us, he's become like the movie star..much more than pak Roy himself..he he he. I took so many pics that I wish I was in my old jeans and t'shirt! The night just too hot.. I hate sweating.

Oh yeah.. there's another thing. Metroplolitan came with his assistant, I guess, Christopher. Mbak Panti was hot on her heel doing her match making. Father Gabriel did introduced us and he's a nice man. Some people already gossiping about me and him, well.. not gossiping more like "encouraging" me to be with him. Hello... we've just met. And we didn't even get the chance to really talk and he's flying off the next day. So I just said to one of the ladies, "Ya.. doain aja tante." ^_^ But he was nice though, friendly and eat weirdly. I guess nobody told him the right way to eat "bubur sumsum" ^_^ I didn't have the chance coz then another request came picture taking moment. But youi know, you can't really tell with this kind of thing coz you just had no chance for at least a decent chat. For all I know, he might be so up there beyond me and I might scared him in the real me... I might've scaared him already... a girl holding a Nikon F90 but not really have a clue how to use it properly!! he he he he. And now if you excuse me.. gotta go back to work.
Nighty nite beautiful people.. sleep well, Gods be.

On the side note:
* "Fight School"; so glad Paul & Emma met at the final, and no Toby. I really don't like that kid.
* "MTV Making The Video"; watch the making of LP' Somewhere I Belong again... Chester is taken but he's just the cutest, Rob and Mike... so drool worthy!!
*E! the Anna Nic Show; huh?? *shivers* like the voice over promo said... "entertaining..yes. educational..no" I think I'll stick to watching The Osbourne.
*Tre and that group... (oh dear.. do i really have to put their name on my blog? fine..fine.. you see how much i love you...) my dear friend Tracey and her new found passion with 5566... *shivers* no comment... just..she scares me!! *_^
*@no; *bow* arigato gosaimasu *handed some 'virtual' fresh from the oven made by myself scones* hope you like them, enjoy! ^_^

I feel restless today
but I don't know what's in my heart
I feel sad..restless
but I don't know what's happening

I woke up early today
I felt some pain in my head
It can't be cured by drugs
My heart felt weird
Please stay away from me

Outside, there's an orange colour in the sky
but I'm hiding in a hole now
I need to ask you a favour
Please leave me alone
I want to say something
but it's hard
and I hate myself for that

Sunday started with me woke up and realized that I overslept...yet again. I meant to wake up around 1 or 2 am so that I could at least get a couple of hours of shut eyes before doing more translating stuff , but what did i see on my donald duck wall clock ? (shut up. its a gift!) It said 6 am! and a lil headache started to brew. so what the hell... i continued my sleep for another hour. then..rush rush since everybody is going to church at the same time (biasa deh rebutan kamar mandi), plus we had to drive my Dad to GKI Kwitang first. I only had time to have a quick shower, put some clothes on, some foundation & face powder and that's it. thank goodness the car's windows are covered with those black film or whatever you called 'em. and its pretty black. too black sometimes. perfect for making out though.. ha ha ha ha ha.

anyway, the reason its good this time coz then i can do the rest of my "getting ready" in the car, like putting some lotion on my arms and legs (damn, they're so dry... didn't notice that for a while) and some lipstic. althoguh i'm not sure why. you see, i usually just gonna wipe it out anyway when i'm taking the "perjamuan kudus" (orthodox church have perjamuan every sunday.. everyday if you're in a monastery) but since i'm not taking it this sunday i thought i put some lipstick on, then when i got there.. oh yeah, i forgot. i gotta kiss the icons too and the hands of Romos (Matius & Gabriel). pelupa emang ira ini. and speaking of Icon. The Icon of Virgin Mary from Boyolali, which last year performed a miracle has been moved to Parokioa Aghia Epiphania Jakarta. It's just like any other Icon that must of us have in our home but last year (i think), oil suddenly came out of it. Not pouring or anything, you can't even see the oil came out but its wet. And it smelled nice.

Father Gabriel told me when a miracle like that happen, water means something and oil means something else, but at this moment i totally forgot what they are.I think oil is for healing. Didn't go to Boyolali when it happened (for a few weeks) coz my college schedule was just crazy, but my sis in law did and she gave me some of the oil in cotton buds and cotton (kapas maksudnya...). Does is really performed a miracle..? I can't really say coz you've got your own opinion. But for some of you who knows what happened to Lady.. well, you know what's the vet's verdict on her eyes (no chance of recovery..got to be operated out) But since the beginning i was just hopeless and sick of worried, i did pray and use the oil on her (she is one of God's creation afterall) and now, Lady is jumping up and down again and you hardly notice that a few weeks ago we had major problem with the eyes. was it because of the oil? you'll be the judge. i just thank God that He still hears my prayer after all that i've done.

anyway...... after church my brother and I went to Carrefour to buy some food for Lady and me and my Dad... my oh my what a mistake I made this morning. It's been a while since I last wore high heel shoes, and I wore one for the church. I was standing on that high heels for a couple of hours and by the time I got my basket with some stuff.. I'm ready to throw it away!! Sure it looks pretty on my feet but... it's a torture. note to self: gotta re-stock your pretty sandals... coz i've been wearing tomboyish sandals and loafers..very comfy. but now.. should put some heels under my feet again.. women. we keep torturing ourself, as if that monthly thing isn't enough..... *_^

i'm still doing my translation duty..but now at 3 a.m i've checked and i'm down to 15 pages and not 30. i hope. He told me not to do the chapter on Icon and so yeah! and I don't have to rush it anymore.. not that it means he don't want it finish quick, but i still have some more days. *sigh of relief* ^_^ Plus, this very sweet person offers to help. I've send you the chapter I'm working on right now... so do you understand any of it? Coz you know, even if I can finish this now.. I've been promise of more translation to come...he he he he. Not quite sure if that's a nice promise or an intimidating one. But when it's finish, Father Gabe promise to treat me to not one but two movies! he he he he I'm just too easy to pleased.

And more good news.. this tuesday the Metropolitan will come, coz he's going to see the Greek Ambassador then big meeting with all the Romo in Indonesia and he'll come to do the Liturgy of the Presanctified /Liturgi Prasdikara on wednesday. I can't remember when was the last time he came and have a prayer together with us. The church today was buzzing with excitement, its like you're going to see your own father who you love so much but haven't seen each other for years. and as usual... i'm the "tukang foto keliling" meaning..absolutely no high heels. but maybe i should.. i'm gonna need the extra height..but.. nah, i don't think so. I wanna enjoy the night ^_^

And I hope the good news will continue to Monday, when this taiwanese boyband lover will send his OB (again) to my house with some copies of The One Bu Jay..nggak takut dimarahin pak Jay? Oya gue udah beli AG-nya.. wah lucu-lucu isinya. Si Qui Che waktu authograph session, rambutnya dikuncir. so adorable, did u know he plays drum & guitar? nilai plus banget itu.. trus ada Takuya Komatsu.. Ken biasa aja menurut gue.. berita basi (disadvantage of being in the forum all the time)..dan knapa juga harus foto yang itu.. ndak suka bajunya..cewek bener. but they got the pepsi concert pics (which some i've already send you) where you can see more clearly that those F4 guys bener-bener tinggi. Ngalahin Jay, Aaron Kwok.. I mean.. keliatan banget bedanya.. buset deh. No wonder they put those guys disamping-samping he he he he. Btw.. I was talking to my bro in the car and told him that you're having a mandarin calss now... he seems wanna me to take one to.. just hope & pray he remember that when he got his paycheque! and..he promised to move the scanner to my computer since his computer is a no show (something busted). now the only probles is... something in my room gotta go to make the room for it. aiih.

Hmmm, my computer is making funky sounds... or was it my AC?.. or maybe it's just me getting paranoid. or was it a sign that i should go back to work? or..... *gubrak!!! dan ira pun terjath dari kursinya setelah dilempar bertubi-tubi oleh ibu okke dan ibu kristin yang nggak bisa tidur*
nighty nite sweet people (good morning gals & lads).... if you're feeling like having an orange.. ask Ano, not me. ^_^

_____________________________________

Know the saying "great mind thinks alike" ? well, today is a proof of that and "great friends support each others...with chocolates!" ha ha ha ha When i was at the Carrefour yesterday and bought some choco bar just because of i love 'em, I also bought some for a friend of mine who shares my passion for choco. You see I know on Monday she gonna send her office boy to deliver some stuff to my house, and since she complain that i only gave her some "Chox" the last time, this time i bought something different.

When she called to say that her OB is the way.. I prepared the stuff she wanted to borrow and I slipped the choco inside (plus a little something for the OB, who also likes chocolate... Tre, I think your office should change the name to telechoco coz from the boss to the OB are choco freaks!!) But when I opened the envelope from her I found more stuff than I expected.. so when I just spilled out everything on the floor.. I burst out laughing... *bwaha ha ha ha ha ha kira-kira begitu... insert the prettiest pic of Liv Tyler laughing...then imagine its me...you'll discover that we're very different. he he he he ya iya lah..*

Turned out this great buddy of mine and me surprising each other with chocolates!! And my Monday began wonderfully ^_^ thanx sweetie..luv ya tons!
I love the "eight dimension"MVs... *shake heads in amazement* dia itu bener-bener gila yah.. all ten songs from that album was made the music video. Not that I mind of course, in fact I'm loving everyone of them... except maybe pan tao tie he yang videonya ngingetin gue too much of LP' In The End + Point of Authority(remix). Actually there were 3 MVs that I haven't seen before. An Hao is still the top of my list but He Tau Kuo Chi is so cute... itu lho yang di di kampus trus ditaksir cewek dan sms-an yang lucu banget. they're so funny. specially with the "red cheeks" stuff.... ^_^ Bu Jay, I'm sure you're screaming when you're watching that scenes.. itui bu tui? So cute.. they both so darn cute.. didn't know Jay can act like that..he he he he
and btw..don't het snappy on me w/the mandarin spelling.. i got it from the cd cover.. :p he he he dui bu chi!

It's a major major bummer about the Bali concert isn't it?? here he is... only a one and a half hours plane trip away from us and we can't see him.. singing live... with all those international artist (and i'm not acknowledging (is that a word..?) those t.a.t.u girls.. *shivers*) BT. BT. that's all i can say. and none of our tv station covering the event? what kinda of f@*#ed up is that? pfftt! I hope one of those tv station in my cable does... I'll let you know when they do.. don't worry dear. Major thanx for your offers of helping me with the translation... you know who you are..*blow kisses...mmmhuah!* Even the offer means a lot ^_^ Welp, better get on that translation work thing then..now that i have tons of stock of choko..hmm which one should I eat first... Snickers.. KitKat (my fave), Silverqueen (my other fave), Chox,Top or Delfi's Treasurers... hmm the perfect yum!

Oh yeah.. if you've visited Ano's blog.. then you'll notice his stats.. and my name appeared more than once.. don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing or a sign of something. all ik now is.. i got Ano's permission to do that! LOL (@_@)
[monday noon]

I'm trying to finish this translation thing as fast as i can but it seems I just can't do it fast enough... I don't mind doing it, but if they need it a.s.a.p. like in the next couple of days.. i really doubt it'll finish by then. I still have like 25-30 pages to translate. If its a translation for any other text I wouldn't be edgy but this is church stuff, and my main concern is if I translate them wrong.. I have to answer with "the man upstairs". Although I think I can be a bit relax about mistakes this time around, coz the Gabester will re-check them for me.

The difficulties that I'm facing is, the time consuming when I need to open the dictionary.. and sometime it turned out that actually those english words means the same thing in bahasa indonesia (sometimes they do that for "penekanan kata/maksud"). When you've already spent hours translating, your eyes getting watery and sleepy and tummy hungry (*_^) this little things can get on your nerve. Also sometimes I just don't understand the whole meaning of the sentence or the istilah-istilah gereja.

I admit I'm not the best or even good orthodox christian... in fact i'm just lame. I still have a lot.. i mean A LOT to learn. About the history, the service, the law, etc etc. All I have and I know for certain is my faith. I might be born into a christan family but I chose to be an Orthodox Christian. I believe I'm in the right track and I hope by the time I die.. I deserve to be called His child, that's all I ask.

(hmmm, tadinya mau curhat tentang kesibukan gue this past week.. kok jadi serius gini yah? he he he gitulah gue.. kalo ngomong suka belak belok.. gomen ne ^_^ )

Well, I only got tomorrow's evening class and that's about it, coz we have the wednesday off due to public holiday. And guess what he asked me? He has to go to Bali for a few days and ask if I can accompany him. Hell yeah!! But I said to him.. as much as I'd love to go, i have no money what so ever. And he answered oh so casually, "Well, since we're going to stay with your parents, we can use my accomodation (hotel) money from the company to buy your plane ticket."
@_@
aaaaaaaarrrrgggggghhhhhhhh!!!
He doesn't have to tell me twice to say "Let's go!"

*calm down Ira, calm down... pheww.. okay, deep breath. another deep breath*

So people, I'm packing now... who cares about class tomorrow. I can't think of anything now. We're leaving Wednesday morning and return late Sunday!
