Cell phone update: IT'S OKAY.........!!!

Huff... I'm so relieved...  Today I got my hands (finally) on it, and abruptly checked my archived messages ('coz I save it on the phone memory, not sim card...), set up, etc, etc and everything was fine. Ha. Ha. Ha. I can smile happily for now. Hehehe....

Tomorrow is the practical test of Indonesian. Gee, last time I had to act like an anchor woman (being formal etc etc) and my grades weren't bad, the total was 230 from three aspects to be judged for.. Tomorrow? Great. Act like an entertainment show host. That means harder work, 'coz I have to memorize all of the stories ('coz with being an anchor woman, you may peek at the paper you bring, hehe..) and think about the style. GOOD.....!!! (sarcastic tone) I've never be good at this.

Everybody seemed very fond of Friendster... Whoa.. But like blogging better, hehehe....

Tomorrow is also means Saturday. Which also means:

>> Semester test is closer!!!

>> The announcement from high school I applied to...

>> 'One Tree Hill' is on air.

>> Can sleep late...

Yeah. That's great... From the title, I hope it is clear of thing that just happened to me. Yep! My cell phone was went straight to the water.. WET! I was so stupid and remembered nothing of what I should do, so I (in stupidipity) turned it on and this 'SOS' and alerts stuff came up and that panicked me even more than my friends' shouts of me should turn it off again so I did.

Later this evening, I tried to turned it on again, and voila! It worked like normal, just the date and time are messed up ('coz I put away the card which was splashed with water too). I checked the inbox, ok, my phone book, ok, everything was looked just fine. So far.

But later for about twenty minutes, I received a call from my Mum, and I pressed the button to 'reply'. But what happened?? The stupid phone kept telling me to 'press # and hold to unlock' or something like that. Uuhh.... I've tried to press every single button on it, but it wouldn't let me received it!!

Arrived back home, I checked my cell phone manual book, and yeah, now I know my BIGGEST IDIOTIC ACT. I should have put away the sim card and case, and not put it on again. I should put the cell phone up straight and let the wind do the job. To dry it inside out. Anyway, the manual book told me to 'not turn it on'... Great. Now it's still not right and it was me who made it worse. =(

Recently I celebrated the comeback of young country singer, Billy Gilman. Not because he has a new album or everything, but because suddenly I remembered about him and listened to his albums again and was totally into the lyrics and then I was kind of absorb the 'life worth everything' and 'live and love' philosophy in it.

Fat chance any of you know him, 'coz of few reasons, such as: 1> He choose no pop as his music, but country which a bit unfamiliar in Indonesia. 2> Again, 'coz the root is not pop, Gilman has a few songs which talk about life, such as how you live your life to the fullest so when you leave the world you'll have no regrets ('My Time On Earth'), a very good song about a girl who is very.. um.. can be called as the role model of someone who wants to take worth of life ('Elizabeth'), or just simple love songs ('Spend Another Night' or 'She's My Girl' or whatever.....)... A few weird songs for my ears too. But I'd must say his albums are worth to listen to. At least try it, hahaha...

Not much happened at school, expect a very memorable scenes on Monday (In English):

My classmate BP (singing a song)   : Lalala.... [not exactly 'lalala' lah, but I didn't catch what was he sing]

My classmate AL                            : Hey, BP, shut up, you make me want to puke!

My classmate BP (casually)             : Eh, you want to puke? You're positive? [he meant 'being pregnant']

My classmate AL was dead quiet and speechless.....

(In Indonesian):

Temen sekelas BP (nyanyi2): Lalala....

Temen sekelas AL             : Hey, BP, diem ah! Lo bikin gw mau muntah, tau ga?

Temen sekelas BP                : Eh, lo mau muntah? AL, lo positif (hamil) yah?

Terdiamlah AL setelah balasan 'kena telak' tersebut dan tak dapat berkata-kata.

BTW I've made a new layout, but the background is (again) dark, light grey. So, in order to be a bit cheerful, I decided to use it for later on and making a new one and hopefully I'll use yellow or other color this time. Hehehe...

'My Time On Earth' by BILLY GILMAN

So my time on earth

Will be well spent

And when I leave this world

I'd leave with no regrets

I live and love for all its worth

'Til I leave out my time on earth

Bertha, my friend, is hospitalized for about almost two weeks now. *sobs. She was in ICU until the day before yesterday, but thank heaven she gets better and move to common ward now.... It was like she was the first thing that came to our minds when we wanted to do our night pray... [sigh] The illness of her reminded my friend, Sae, that there isn't only good things that happen in this world. Just wake up from the dream and face the reality... =(

Bertha is such a happy-go-lucky girl and very active and talking like there's no comas or full-stop... I think she's a very positive person, a real honest one, and YES she's my buddy!!! I hope she gets real better soon and go to school again, 'coz she choose the worst time to be sick, when we have pile of tests, and the exams are coming nearer....!!!

Currently listening to 'Don't Wanna Think About You' by Simple Plan. It will be the soundtrack of Scooby Doo 2 movie, I heard. I've watched the first one. Don't know with the sequel... =) Anyway will Simple Plan have a concert in Indonesia? Pierre did said that 'Simple Plan will visit every part (or country yah??) of Asia'... Finger crossed!!

>>UPDATES:

Today's life at school is just so usual... Means nothing really excited happened. Well.

Can't expect life to be spectacular everyday, rite? Anyway I've finished watching 'Mona Lisa Smile' [hehe... now I can spell it out correctly...] and even that the movie didn't come much to my expectation of some action movie ('coz it's obviously not), it's interesting really... Maybe it's just me being a girl too, hehehe.... Some quotes were cool too. Yaihah!

On EF, got new teacher, Mr. Trey. Nice guy, truthfully he has the potential to be funny, but to compare him with Mr. Clay, wooh... it's hard. When telling his life stories (which is usually a lot of fun), Mr. Clay uses most of his body movement to express it, and that was the thing that made it interesting. Whereas Mr. Trey told us a few funny stories too, but he was just telling it out, not much on expressing.. Anyway, I know now who's better at story-telling. Anyway, we the CU18 class got an important scoop [top secret] about one of Mr. Trey's colleague. Mel and J could not stop laughing, and 'coz they could not, I could not too. I'm afraid the story will be full of contradiction and the misuse of manners, so I've better leave it out. Who knows someone from EF won't come here and read this and throw me out from the edu service??

'Gone' by SWITCHFOOT

cuz today will soon be

gone, like yesterday is gone,
like history is
gone, just trying to prove me wrong
and pretend like your immortal

Wow.... [in awe] My blog had reached 500 visitors and more.... It's been almost five months now... But how many entry? Rite.... Not much.... [sheepish grin] I guess I'm not really good on updating blog, hahaha....

That's the crap. Now the reality.

Huff...................................................... Routines....... It is time to look for suitable school for me and my grade to go to after we graduated, and with the material for the memorial book is being collected and all now, gee...  I know that time is really ticking fast. Argh, maybe too fast!! Don't mistaken me, I really eager to be one of senior high student, but then, me and my friends will go to our separate ways. Soon. NO...............!!!!!!!

Well. At least we've been promised to keep in touch. [Imagine this dramatic scene: At the side of the volleyball field, there were sat three girls (actually can be more, but they were fled into the food kingdom. XD) and with screwed faces they said 'Do not ever forget me, okay?' and 'We will still hang out together, promise?' And the scene was closed with - oops. Sorry I forget.... Hehehehe............. Anyway, let me clear this thing out: it wasn't that mellow actually. Not with the thoughts of the girls who fled into the canteen had eaten first when we hadn't.... Does that ruin the scene? Well, sorry then. [laugh of the lunatic]

Okay, talk about me being a little bit 'crazy' now... Just me sick of the routines.

Anyway, I had to watch 'Monalisa Smile'. I HAD TOO!!! 'Coz my loving Sista (hehe..) said it had some philosophical stuff in it and even that my brain more attractive to action scenes, well, the DVD is there within my reach, so how can I just ignore it...... Oh no. I haven't watched 'Training Day' until the end of it too. Ergh....

Oh yeah, almost forget!! There is a new TV series on TV7, called 'One Tree Hill' starring Chad Michael Murray about family problems and basketball (and the thing that made me went 'Wow' was Luke Scott, the role Chad's playing, can throw three-points so much easily. Ah, SAWAMURA!!!!). Watch it if you have time. Watch it if you're Murray's biggest fan, or simply just watch it 'coz you like basketball as the background of the story. XD.

Reading my friend's blog, Xin Hui, about her having a totally bad day, woohh.... Btw, girl, I tried to write more on your taggie board, but the thing kept bothering me with the 'you are too wordy' sign.... =(  So the imagination of me typing freely and no need to type it short ('coz I can type as long as I want at pitas) I decided to spill the thoughts here.

So, Xin Hui, I just wanna add "Jia You!!" and yeah, I know that 'Life already sucks (sometimes, just sometimes) without you throw anymore junk to it.' so CHEER YOURSELF UP!! I know you're gonna be okay. =)

Well, I don't know what else to write at the moment.... Currently trying to get my site a host and fixing Friendster stuff... Huff... Just this for now. Anyway, it's better than I don't write anything at all, RITE???? Hehehehe.......

From 7 until 14 there was a championship at my school. And as a homely type of girl I only attend it for two times only. First at February 7, being the opening of The Cup, all students needed to be there, so there was me. XD. Then, I only came once again on Feb 14 (Yeah, Valentine, everybody!!!) to watch the final, obviously. Hehehe.... Really unsupportive or what, but I couldn't bear waiting for hours 'til the matches were started, so there you go.

One of the guys' basketball team had managed to get to the final match, but ironically they lose by 2 points!!!! (I guess so. As long as I remember the final score was 39 to 41....) Well... the other guys' team didn't make it so far too, and the same destiny happened on the girls' basketball team and the football team. None of them got the first place now...

It was pretty hectic. Hahaha... Me with my friends were watching at the tribune (with canopy), but several minutes among the matches, our attention was distracted by 'ulat bulu' who were dangling from the trees near the tribune where we sat. Yikes!! Because of the canopy I was sure that they weren't gonna falling down on top of us, but still AJ my friends got really hysterical on it. Why? Because there were total seven of them, falling down one by one and even the last one was landing on top of a crew of the championship. Well, we've warned him earlier, by crying, "Watch out!!" and all but he wouldn't listen... =P

However that reminded me of the thing I should do:

Make list of things I hate.

And I'm gonna make sure that 'ulat bulu' will make it on top of the list. YEW!!

List of things I hate:

1. Ulat bulu. [There is no way you're gonna make me go near it. NO.....!!!!]

2. Smoke. [I cannot stand smoke or any other air pollution, don't know why. Maybe because my nose is super sensitive?? =)]

3. Computer break-down. [No computer??? That's the last thing I want to receive, thank you.]

4. Catch influenza. [Sneezing all the time? Argh, really really hate that.]

5. Cannot sleep. [I'm totally against insomnia.]

Well, that's it so far. More coming later. Maybe. =P.

Anyway, I surfed around BBC site and found these LOTR related article, and believe it or not I haven't read all of them yet:

(Only put them up here for my archive, hehehe.....)

First reviews: The Return of the King

Rings lauded on top 10 movie list

Why Rings director deserves Oscar

Fans hail final Lord of the Rings

Strong opening for Rings finale

Rings finale sets new US record

Rings dominates Oscar nominations

Empire awards honour Rings finale

Rings is third biggest film ever

In Pictures: The Return of the King

Well. Is it only me or all of the headlines are really that standardized long??

NEW LAYOUT................!!!!!!!!!!

How cannot it be, but The Ring itself, eh????????????????

I've been wanting LOTR Layout from a long time ago... (Couple of months, ever since I discovered the world of blogging, hehehe.....) And here it it, FINALLY!!! I think I'm gonna stick with it for now....

LOTR RULZ!!!

Your man is King Aragorn (The rating takes place
below)

The last 'WHICH LOTR GUY IS FOR YOU?' quiz you'll ever have to take - and you won't be able to pick your outcome!
brought to you by Quizilla

WHAT?? Aragorn????? Woohooo!!!!! Hahaha..... kidding.... But why shouldn't I be happy it IS Aragorn that destined to be with me??? Hahahaha............. Do I sound like someone really freak?? Must be, 'coz I've been LOTR freak for almost three years now.... =)

Anyway, speaking of King Aragorn, I think his character is a bit too.... you know, perfect. Come and think of this. A king. With loads of skills (I think he can do anything...): battle skills, skills as ranger, immune to the Ring's temptation (remember the first movie??), wise-like, such a charmer, lady killer as well.... I'd say, the only thing that lower Aragorn's point is that 'he's already OLD!'. Aye, aye, 87?? He should be my grandpa or something! Hahaha... And I wouldn't mind having Aragorn as my grandfather. He's cool. Hehehe...

SOME EARLY WARNINGS: I think I'm gonna talk about mainly The Lord of the Rings from now on, so you just have to bear with me!! =)

WHOA!!! I just can say that this last part of the trilogy is really damn COOL and AWESOME so I recommend this to everybody!!!!!!!!!! And yes, also to all of you who isn't LOTR freak yet. YET. I mean, I know from the outside it seems like LOTR isn't that interesting (believe me, I would always think the same way if it wasn't my Sis who forced me go watching the first one with her....) but ONCE you saw it, you know it's COOL. GREAT. AMAZING. SPLENDID. THE BEST MOVIE EVER. Hahaha... You seek for action..... it contains awesome battle scenes (Even that I hate war movies, I love this one, it's cool really). Or you're a great fan of fantasy? Ha! You've got to be kidding not to like it, 'coz everybody knows you can find Elves, Dwarves, Hobbits, etc etc in a single movie (and Elves in LOTR aren't small and green and carrying bags...). Or a romance lover? Hahaha.... Aragorn-Arwen. Aragorn-Eowyn. (Yes. Yes. YES!!! Love triangle everybody!! Hehe...) Just sit and watch. Or doesn't like serious movie? Hey, who say LOTR doesn't have a little bit cheerfulness in it. It got LOADS! =) And yeah, every frame of the scenes is just basically INCREDIBLE just to see, you know, with the fact that about 90 % of the scenes was retouch by the computer to make the effects.. Whoa again...

Some people know Harry Potter better than LOTR unfortunately. In Indonesia, I mean. When you go to overseas, Singapore for example, it's so MUCH FUN there. Large, super large posters of the movies with passersby took photos with it. (Including me and my Sis.. Dunno if she put out journey to S'pore in her blog or not, 'coz I'm not 'coz I'm too lazy even tough the trip was awesome). Why can't we have the same excitement of it?? Sad. So sad.................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But yeah, that's why LOTR freaks like us should be united together, hehe.... I'm so lucky to witness the greatness of movie makers..... Hmmmm...................... Hahaha......

Too much talking, am I? Better stop it right here.

Today I got back the school report of all of my grades. Gee, not too bad, hehe... at least Mr. Rizky the PE teacher didn't give me 'the average grade' which is supposed to be 6. It's 7.2! And yeah, it was cool, the grades I mean.... Heehee...

I met my friend downstairs, in front of the Gramedia stand. Guess what? Her mother saw me bringing the map (supposed to be contained by my school reports and stuff) and realized that she didn't see her daughter's with her! Short of story, they lost the report... It was kind of hard to believe, 'coz in fact they were just walking down the stairs from the classroom... Anyway, later she (my friend, not her Mum) told me that they found it.. Where? In her classroom, she left it there.. Ck, ck, ck...

Some things I need to do this holiday:

1. Study Tour report!!! Argh....

2. Hunting for pin-ups, hehehe...

3. Rent VCDs.

4. Tagging along when my Sis do her driving practice.

5. Find book(s) to read!!

6. Find b'day present for a certain friend. Hee...

Rite. It's a bit late, but then I've only watched this movie last Sunday and cannot get it out of my head, so.....

Well, I also have no idea why I flooded this page with movies. Well, just TWO. Ha ha. More to come, it seemed to me. Whatever.... It's just... I spent most time of this holiday by watching action movies, epic movies, comedy ones, and well? Basically just... MOVIES! Ha.

Okay. Get on with the story. Matrix. Revolutions. Is that triggering something?? Hehehe... I just need to say a sentence. "IT IS DEFINITELY COOL!!!" Need me to say more? ;) But one confession: I understand less than a little, if not nothing, of the ending of it. WATCH OUT FOR SPOILERS! So, hey, so Neo died?? Or he isn't?? I guess he's 80% gone, but then who knows?? 'Coz Oracle said that they might see him again. (At the end of the film, remember?) Arghhh....! All you need for watching Matrix for the first time is just your eyes. Ha ha. See all of the incredibly actions first. Think about all of the logical stuff later on. Enjoy it.

Ewww................ Keanu Reeves as Neo is just too overwhelming, haha...

Oh yeah, btw, there's a ten-page(?) article of Return of the King at Newsweek December. Really excited, but then it held so many spoilers I became kind of hate it afterwards. Urgh. Promise not to read it before I watched the film.

MnC doesn't launch D.N.ANGEL 9!! Argh... so it's true, it stuck!! Luckily I'm not so obsessed over it, if not maybe I'll shout out loud at my friends' ears. Hm. Wondering what will Dyah and Amy say about it... They like it too, just Amy more into Hiwatari-kun.

Do the archiving today, 'coz today is new month! December, love ya!! Means:

1. LOTR: Return of the King is nearer.

2. Christmas and New Year holiday is nearer.

3. Holiday means wake up at noon, watching until after midnight, do whatever I please, etc, etc...

4. No use regretting for exams 'coz they'll still come today..
