is it like, in the 60s?

I have German lesson in school, which isn't a problem BUT it could be waaaayyyyy too boring. I mean, look, Italian and those prestigious British schools learn Latin because that's the language their ancestors used to communicate, and for even cooler than what we can imagine, it's the mother of what we use to write now. Maybe we should just learn Sanskriti instead of German. The German kids don't learn something, like, let's say, Swahili, right?? And the only thing that can keeps me from being so bored in German class which is 90 minutes per week is...... Herr Karl-Otto Lagerfeld. He's the real Svengali. Just remembering that this man (who, I think, resembles Andy Warhol) originally speaks German, it boosts my mood! and I'm not even his die hard fan.

"Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people… the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life… they are mean and they want to kill you

 "Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight

"I’m too superficial, egoistic and too involved with myself to have children. I’m not sure if I’m made to have children.

She's all alone again wiping the tears from her eyes

Why is it you feel like a dope if you laugh alone, but that's usually how you end up crying? 

Chuck Palahniuk

Do you ever realized that most of the time you don't wanna be alone, unless you want to be left alone?

So why do you wanna cry?

Don't you remember that when you cry, you always cry alone. Even when you're a baby and all you can do is crying, there's nobody crying with you. You are always alone.

When you die, people will finally cry altogether for you. But you are already tense, cold, and lying with no heartbeat when they do.

Do you know that when things hard, crying would make you feel better, but only because it's so tiring so that you can escape, runaway being asleep after the tears you pour down.

Do you know that even Eva Mendez could lose her beauty if she's crying?

Do you know why people take beautiful pictures when people are smiling and the ones crying called artsy pictures? Because art is so lonely, so deep and so sad and nothing could photograph it except cry, but a smile is the most beautiful shape our lips can do.

Crying doesn't give you any chance to be beautiful, smarter, or anything.

It is the most mysterious territory in human history: your tears glands.

Why do people cry? Because we need it. Why do people want to be seen carrying shopping bags full of fancy clothes but don't wanna be seen crying?

If you are hurt, hurt those bitches back. Wipe your tears away, don't let them win. Your tears don't worth a single disaster they caused you.

If you are sad that someone left you, you know they leave you so that you can move on with a brand new life and looking at the future in different perspective.

If you are in deep emotions, fine, let those tears flow your eyes and run down your cheeks. Promise yourself a better you after it.

If you are afraid, remind yourself that nothing is stronger that the power God made behind you.

You don't wanna be alone. We're all together in that loneliness too. I love you!

Bon Travail, Audrey!

I bought my mum this Eau de Parfum from Paris last year. Young folks might don't like the smell, but this is definitely the numero uno for classy, prestigious woman. When you can find a man who can say, "Hmm... Chanel N° 5. Classy," you know you can rely on him :)

Just remember: your mum or grandmum would love it!

Forget BMW Convertible. My Summer Ride is Jet Coaster!

Second on list of my favorite place after music festival is: amusement parks. What's the best amusement park in the world? Disneyland? I don't know, I've only been to one of them. Okay, blab to yourself about it but surely the best one is to where you go with people you love the most, people who share something with you. Can you be happy going to, let's say Disneyland Anaheim with your arch enemy???? NO!

I went to Dufan yesterday, if you care. I haven't been to this one since, let's say, 5 or 6 years ago. WHOAAAAA! and I'm amazed that it's still pretty much the same. Terutama mas-mas di tiap wahana (kecuali Istana Boneka) yang selalu bilang, "Mana suaranyaaaaa????" atau "Mana tangannyaaa???" dan selalu bilang, "Mau lagiiii???" padahal muka penumpangnya udah ungu. that's insane. I make some noise while on Thorpe Park's Stealth and the lady on duty was like, "Sssshhhh!" while here they want some noise! Now it's pretty clear which country loves fun even more.

And I am not afraid of heights! Not until a few days ago, gue lagi sendirian naik lift di Blok M Plaza (HAHA gaulnyaaa) dan gue merasa... uhuk. I'm dying. I lost my feet. I felt so old! I got this thing called karma from Ratih, who's suffering acrophobia. Now I hate merry-go-round. I HATE IT. It's always the highest rides on most of the amusement parks in the world but it works sooooo slowly, so not interesting and so much fear! Last year, I rode this famous thing called London Eye and it wasn't even a deal for me. It was grrrreattttt! Now, I don't know man.

Propose here, Prince Charming, hmm?

Right now, I am only best friends with roller coasters. The thrill is fine. This is extreme. This is soooo summer! Thorpe Park's Nemesis Inferno? Bring it on! I survived it on the front row! Reverse roller coaster? Surviving front row too! HAHAHAHA.  

SCREAAAAAMMMM!!!

I know you must've tried this horrendous thing called Power Surge in Dufan. I just tried it yesterday, heehee. It's scary but is it fun? No. Try this thing called Stealth (also available in Thorpe Park). It's both scary and fun. It's the fastest roller coaster in Europe! and it didn't take long loop, it's actually just ONE single loop but in very high speed for 90 degrees above the grounds in about 2 seconds or so. Vwery brweath-taking.

Up up and away!

Did I enjoy Thorpe Park? Yes, thank you very much. I know this is the thrill capital of England, but it would had been more wise if I could just skip these rides for Glasto, Amin! Oh and I'll make sure I'm gonna ride on these when I visit them someday!

"I love Mark Ronson as if other guys are gay"

I don't know whether people around me are blind or lame or maybe simply because his star is so bright that they can't see, people never get why I love Mark Ronson so much. I was always alone worshipping this musician until last night, it all changed.

Ratih urged me to open a link she sent me. I didn't respond first I thought it was something not so important. Well when I finally opened the link, I practically and literally SCREAM from the top of my lung!

Dr. R Amandh: 29 meng LIAT TANGGAL 29 JUNI 2008

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

and the rest of that drunken conversation was about Mark Ronson and GLASTONBURY FESTIVAL, well some hatred for R-Patz too, but not too much, don't worry. see what i mean, i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE MUSIC for heaven's sake! and here, at the point where i'm sitting, I am totally missing so many music festivals. Coachella, Glastonbury, Reading, Leeds, T in The Park.......... you name it! Oh God. That's so unfair! I was like, well, how far is Glastonbury from London? I bet it's not 16 hours flight, no?? So I was really like, "WHAT THE HELL???" I missed that chance. I missed so much. and I regret it. but don't worry I'm not sobbing over it,

though. It's just simply so... CRUEL.

Call me freak, but the feeling when you finally found someone who share the same interest with you (especially if you've been told that that thing is not interesting material) is priceless!

Saking gilanya, when i opened my twitter homepage again, I ran to tell Ratih, "Rat!! He updated! after daaaysss!" and I followed his small argue with Perez Hilton. Yes, M insulted P because P has made a career out of picking on teenage, lesbians and all! What a very nice brother!

Summer Has Come and Don't Ever Pass

My old friends and I have started playing this game since we sometimes have nothing to say in particular. The idea? Write 20 useless facts about you; ones that people don't actually need to know.

-I love sitting on the train in the reverse side so I can see what the train's leaving.

-The reason why I go to Disneyland? I wanna see the parade (it works in both my visits)

-I really wish life is a little more black and white. Colors are sometimes, well, too much.

-I prefer Serena van Der Woodsen than Blair Waldorf. And if I were to write the Gossip Girl series I'd make Lily dating Chuck (how modern day love)

-I wanna learn Latin language. Blame Francesca.

-I understand gays better than straight guys. They always have things that interest me.

-I still think Jordan Mesmain looks like Barack Obama. Though through the photo I have he looks more like Will Smith.

-Just because I think that higher educational institutions in Indonesia are commercial, I really do think they are stink.

-Because commercial stinks as 14-days-old dead rat.

-I wanna go to Antwerp, Belgium. Why? Mind Dries van Noten, and the fairytale vibe it has.

-I think there's no better place to spend the summer than the beach. Except you got some beautiful European trip.

-I really wish I'd live in the 60s. or 50s. or 20s. despite all the miserable moments.

-The longest time I survived without my cellphone? Like, 4 days and 3 nights.

-The best social networking? Myspace. Others are lame, just trying to keep it simple.

-I love old culture. and the cult ones. 

-I have this thing called Trypanophobia(injection needle). Thank God doctor is not on my future plan.

-I am into European things.

-So much into, that the only thing that excites me about America is Brooklyn, NY.

-I have sweet tooths

They kindly quote this so we can learn

It brings me back memories

A Piece of Sean

Can you see his resemblance to daddy?

You want more piece of the very touching Sean Lennon's childhood? Listen to this cute-but-when-you-think-about-it-again-you'd-cry version of "With A Little Help From My Friends" filled with John and Yoko's voices, here.

Would you like to be reborn?

You die

You're buried and fertilise the plants

The plants are eaten by snails

Man eats the snails

Now you are a Frenchman.

Voila!

Miley Cyrus was right

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I've been living under the table for the past month, with all final exam and the loss of one of my uncles during that one hell of a week really just make it worse, but I just started to hang out and hit some malls again. I mean, it's just malls, nothing so good, but, ERGH. something really disturbs me.

And it's ROBERT PATTINSON. all that photos and exposures are so sickening that I wanna puke on them. seriously,

everything about him is just too much overrated, it's not like he's the most gorgeous man on the planet! and it seems like he went from this modest British bloke to the overwhelmed Hollywood hunk that thinks every girls want a bite of him. EW.

and therefore Miley was right. Girls aren't in love with Rob Pattinson; they're in love with Edward.

so don't get too high on this euphoria, Mr. Pattinson. youre in the same position as daniel radcliffe, it's just that you're in american film and he was in english production that you seem to be.... better.

Get over yourself, girls. and Rob.

I Remember You Well/Perhaps we'll meet again in another life

We miss you, John. We still want you here.

From John to Yoko:

Interviewer: Why can’t you be alone without Yoko?
John Lennon: But I can be alone without Yoko, but I just have no wish to be. There’s no reason on earth why I should be alone without Yoko. There’s nothing more important than our relationship, nothing. And we dig being together all the time. Both of us could survive apart but what for? I’m not going to sacrifice love, real love for any whore or any friend or any business, because in the end you’re alone at night and neither of us want to be. And you can’t fill a bed with groupies. It doesn’t work. I don’t want to be a swinger. I’ve been through it all and nothing works better than to have someone you love hold you.

Playboy: John's [Lennon's] anger about the way people resented you has certainly come through in this interview. Do you feel the same way about the fan's reactions, Yoko?
Yoko Ono: No. I feel amazed I'm amazed that people can be so concerned about somebody else's life. I mean, what about their own lives?
Playboy: Maybe that's why they're so concerned about somebody else's life-because they can't deal with their own, or their own is simply boring.

From Yoko to John:

December 8, 2007
I miss you, John. 27 years later, I still wish I could turn back the clock to the Summer of 1980. I remember everything - sharing our morning coffee, walking in the park together on a beautiful day, and seeing your hand stretched to mine - holding it, reassuring me that I shouldn't worry about anything because our life was good.I had no idea that life was about to teach me the toughest lesson of all. I learned the intense pain of losing a loved one suddenly, without warning, and without having the time for a final hug and the chance to say, "I love you," for the last time. The pain and shock of that sudden loss is with me every moment of every day. When I touched John's side of our bed on the night of December 8th, 1980, I realized that it was still warm. That moment has haunted me for the past 27 years - and will stay with me forever.Even harder for me is watching what was taken away from our beautiful boy, Sean.He lives in silent anger over not having his Dad, whom he loved so much, around to share his life with. I know we are not alone. Our pain is one shared by many other families who are suffering as the victims of senseless violence. This pain has to stop.Let's not waste the lives of those we have lost. Let's, together, make the world a place of love and joy and not a place of fear and anger. This day of John's passing has become more and more important for so many people around the world as the day to remember his message of Peace and Love and to do what each of us can to work on healing this planet we cherish. Let's: Think Peace, Act Peace, and Spread Peace. John worked for it all his life. He said, "there's no problem, only solutions." Remember, we are all together. We can do it, we must. I love you!
