*Girlfriend~ Nsync & Nelly (remix)*
Independance day. There are supposed to be bomb attacks at malls and hotels. Well, I did't hear anything going kaboom today, which is a good thing. Stayed home, watched some Friends, got knocked out by my meds and slept. Then went to get some groceries. Yay, typical independance day, dontcha think?
My bro was/is on the comittee for the ID festivity. Looks like he's wiped out, although seems he's having fun.
Hm, what else? Can't think clearly. Headache. And about the song... hehe, don't ask *g*.

*Girlfriend~Alicia Keys*
Haven't done anything today, except doing the usual chores. Watched Asterix & Obelix & Cleopatra or whatever the movie is called. Pretty funny. Close to the comic book. I love how the translator translated the names.
Didn't, or more likely, couldn't do much today, because of the drugs that I'm on. Man, these medications really put me to sleep. It even put me out while I was in a chat session. Sorry about that, girlfriend. I blame the drugs. Btw, I hate it when you're right XP.
Still need to read at least 2 books: Risk-Taking Behavior and Adolescent Problem Behaviors. Gah, snorefest. But if I don't do it, I'll never finish my thesis. *sigh* I'm tired of reading thesis related stuff! *whines*. I'll do it in a few more days, after I've finished my drugs *eg*. Malingering and Procastination, makes interesting middle names, heheh.

*Jatuh Bangun~anonymous dangdut singer
Went with my bro to the clinic. My doctor just grinned when he saw us, probably amused by my broodiness. Don't get me wrong. It's just that I hate seeing doctors in general. And I think he knows that. He always makes me laugh when I go to see him though, so I still don't understand why I'm reluctant to go to him when I should. Probably it's because after he always gives me these medicine... like now, I have at least 4 different ones. Throat infection, eye infection, headaches, coughing... and fever?
Funny how he still remembers me after all these times. Probably coz I had that typhus scare when I last saw him. That time I still had classes and I still went to campus even though I had a high fever and a migrain/headache. I didn't really feel the pain, coz I guess I was used to it by then. My friends didn't really realized I was sick, they probably thought I just had the flu or something. Anyway, one night after dinner at campus, I told one of my friends that I probably should go to the doc's since my fever hasn't broke and it's been a week She dropped me off at the clinic and I went to see my doc. He asked me questions and then told me to have a blood test that minute. Turned out I had a mild case of typhoid. He just shook his head. "Can't you feel the pain at all? You're lucky you don't have to be hospitalized. If you were a day late, you might have." He knows I was living by myself at the time so he knows that my eating habit isn't good. He's cool. Unlike some other doctors who just treats you like an object, he actually talks to you and gets to know you a little. Still though, don't expect me to go to him unless I'm really sick... and nagged by the people around me.XP
My bro also had the flu and know he has to take meds also. Well, yeah, he's the one who brought the virus home. Funny thing, the doc told him to eat, coz my bro is so skinny. Heh, well, maybe he wouldn't be if he wasn't that picky about his food. Okay, the stress from school probably is also a factor. Anyway, we have to return on Tuesday.
So there. I went to the doc's and got some drugs. Are you happy?XP We walked all the way there and the way back though. Yeah, we're both cheapskates. Why pay when we could walk? Sick? Who's sick
Yeah, don't question this particular song I'm listening to. I didn't pick it. It was on tv. Parents choice. *shrugs*

*Heaven~ Nu Flavor*
*sigh* I guess after a week of endless flu, I should go to the doctors. I know, I know, I'm stubborn. It's just that I don't like going to the doctors. No offense to them, but I'm not comfortable around them. Maybe it's coz my childhood was filled with doctors and therapies and such, I've had enough of em. But yeah, I guess I'll go later. Somebody already told me she'd kick my virtual ass if I don't go...or worse, she's gonna call my mom. Heh, wouldn't that be expensive?*glares* And to top it all, my mom said the same thing."Go to the doctors, and bring your brother with you also." Hehe, at least I don't have to suffer alone *eg*
Well, although I'm still sick, I was being productive this morning. Did some house chores. God, I'm so domesticated these days. I guess anything to get Mom off my back. She's been nagging me on how I spend too much time in front of the comp. Grr. Well, it's true, but come on! I don't have any other life. Yes, I admit that. I have to type my thesis at the comp. Interesting stuff are on the net. I could d/l stuff from the net also. If I go out with my friends, I'd be spending my money. I'm trying to save up here! I've already succumbed to the evilness that is Starbucks last week... to think of it, after going home from there my fever started. Hm... is that any indication of evilness by any chance?
Heh, speaking of evilness of money-draining...another one besides Starbucks...the 21 Cineplex! I still wanna watch T3 and Bad Boys II. Tomb Raider 2 is already out! Bloody hell! And I'm sure Wrong Turn is coming out next week. Eliza Dushku on the widescreen... excuse me, I need a moment to reflect. Yeah, out of those movies, Wrong Turn is my priority, although it's one of those standard slasher movies. I mean, it's no contest. Arnold vs Eliza. Will Smith vs Eliza. Angelina Jolie vs. Eliza... yup, I'd still pick Eliza. Koi,guess what... Depok is already showing T3. Maybe I should go there and watch it? Ah, T3... I guess I won't be able to see this movie after all. Oh well. I'll just use the money for Wrong Turn. Oh, damn, forgot about the Pirates of the Carribean. Damn you, Hollywood! Why?! I know it's the summer for you yanks but... and damn you Cineplex 21 for raising the cinema map prices! (cinema map= cinema tickets, according to altavista babelfish, german to english) Gah, I better start thinking how to earn some cash on the side.

*Say Goodbye to Hollywood ~ Eminem
Something I got in the mail. Pretty funny. You would understand it better if you're an Indonesian though.
Once upon a time in the kingdom of Heaven, God was missing for six days.
Eventually, Michael the Archangel found him, resting on the seventh day.
He inquired of God, "Where have you been?"
God sighed a deep sigh of satisfaction and proudly pointed downwards
through the clouds, "Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled and said, "What is it?".
"It's a planet," replied God, "and I've put Life on it. I'm going to call
it Earth and it's going to be a great place of balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael, still confused.
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth. "For example,
northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, but cold
and harsh while southern Europe is going to be poor but sunny and
pleasant."
"I have made some lands abundant in water and other lands parched
deserts."
"This one will be extremely hot, while this one will be very cold and
covered in ice."
The Archangel, impressed by God's work, then pointed to a group of islands
and said, "What are those?"
"Ah," said God.
"That's the Indonesian archipelago, the most glorious
place on earth. There are beautiful beaches, rivers, mountains and forests. The people from Indonesia are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent and humorous and they are going to be found traveling the world. They will be
extremely sociable, hardworking and high achieving, and they will be known throughout the world as carriers of peace and love."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration but then proclaimed, "What about
balance, God? You said there would be balance."
God replied wisely, "Wait until you see the idiots I put in the government."

*Crazy for This Girl ~ Evan and Jaron*
Haven't done much today. Did some house chores, skimmed thru these books I'm supposed to read for my thesis. Gah, all these readings... they never end! Mom had a back ache, so rubbed her back. Hey, I was being nice. Mom told me that I was good. Uh-oh. That means a repeat sometime soon. My bro said that I missed my calling as a masseuse. Hardy har har.
Watched the movie Out Cold. It has Jason London and AJ Cook in it. Also this other guy, who plays the guy from the morgue in the Tru Calling pilot. Funny how he and AJ met in Out Cold and then see eachother again in Tru. Well, not really funny haha, but you know what I mean. The movie itself wasn't that bad, got some funny moments. It's one of those no brainer movies that you just need to watch at times.
Glad the meeting with your future boss worked out fine. Hehe, I knew there was nothing to worry about. Now you believe me? And don't worry about that talk about the future from last night. I just get like that at times. But you already knew that XP. But hey, it's nice to know my options. And Bali! Next August maybe? Yes, as soon as I have the money, I'll get my ass to Germany. I just hope that the visa isn't that hard to get.
It's nice to be able to chat with you two again. I miss those old chats and their craziness. Let's do it again, soon! And that view of Mars? I'll go check right now.

License renewed! Beware road users! I have my license again now, mwuahahahaha. Yes, be afraid. Be very afraid. My pic isn't that bad on my ID, or at least I kept telling myself that. Funny though, they still put 162 cms as my height. Hello? 162 dari belah mana?! The cops said that it's okay. And seeing how long it took to get the card done, I didn't even bother to get it corrected. Heh, Indonesian bureaucracies*shrugs*.
It was a tiring day, so when I got home, I ate and slept. Mom woke me up at 5 am this morning. I slept at 1 am. You do the math.

Finally, I found that blasted card! Yay! Thank you G.O.D! Tomorrow I can go renew my license. And I envy those who don't need to renew their license every 3 or 5 years *glares at a certain someone*.
Went to 2 weddings at the weekend. Wow, my friends, married. Hehe, I guess I should get used to the fact that while I'm terrified of commitment, many people actually believes in marriage. Oh well, more power to them. And yes, I'm sincere when I say I wish them well. Just because I'm a skeptic doesn't mean I wanna bring down everyone else with me. Where's the fun in that?
Funny, well weird actually, thing though. I had this... feeling of unease last night. I don't know if it's some form of 'sadness' or a bad premonition, but I hope everything is alright. Maybe it was just some side effect of seeing my friends happy and I'm.. not really? Or maybe it's because it's the first time I had to spend the night away from home since my family came back? I dunno, but hopefuly it's not a bad premonition. Hehe, I may sound strange right now, but I know at least someone out there understands me.
Alright, should try to sleep in a few hours. Need to sleep. Everyone was sleepy today. Probably residue from last night's excitement. Maybe it's the weather. It's really hot today, bloody hell. And yes, I listen to M2M. Shut up. It's all your fault XP.

Earlier I had to accompany my mom in search of bakery supplies. We took the bus to Pasar Senen... and good God it was tiring. That place was huge. Yeah, I've never been to the actual market before, so today was my first time actually exploring it. We were at the market for at least 3 hours...my poor legs...

*Where Is the Love ~ Black Eyed Peas*
Still sick, but better than yesterday. Took some Decolgen but they just make my throat sore. Might try some Procold later... if that doesn't work, will buy the green labeled Panadol tomorrow.
What's wrong with the Indonesian media today? How can they be so... insensitive? The bombing at Marriot by some unknown bastard(s) was tragic enough, but these people who claim to be journalists are also a tragedy in the making themselves. I mean, come on, you don't just barge into hospitals and take pictures and coverage of the victims...nor do you actually show the burnt lifeless bodies on tv... at hours where kids are most likely to watch. What the hell is wrong with you people?
Amrozi, one of the s.o.bs that are responsible for the Bali bombing was sentenced to death... yet he was still calm and even looked content. Gah, I know I'm not God and who am I to judge, but I don't think being responsible for killing hundreds of innocent victims would entitle anyone a ticket to heaven. Jihad my ass! That's not jihad, that's murder! Yeah, I'm thinkin that the guy was probably brainwashed into adopting a twisted view of what is originally a peaceful religion. And it's scary that there are many people out there who are like that. God, why don't they just move to some unchartered island and make their own country or something... and leave the rest of us in peace?
Anyway, hope you have fun in Bavaria. No need for all of us to be miserable and apathetic. And from what I hear, sounds like you're having a blast. Grilled fish.. yum! I'd like to have some...if only my throat wasn't sore. Btw, how'd you feel if these two join us for our planned Bali escapade? Hopefully things would get better and more stable next year... or we'll just have to postpone the trip. Better safe than sorry, right?

Your past life diagnosis:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know how you feel about it, but you were male in your last earthly incarnation.
You were born somewhere in the territory of modern USA South-East around the year 1575.
Your profession was that of a teacher, mathematician or geologist.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your brief psychological profile in your past life:
Such people are always involved with all new. You have always loved changes, especially in art, music, cooking.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The lesson that your last past life brought to your present incarnation:
There is an invisible connection between the material and the spiritual world. Your lesson is to search, find and use this magical bridge.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do you remember now?
I was a teacher in the past life? and an American?... *speechles*

Never Loved You Anyway ~ the Corrs
Did not sleep last night. Wrote around 20 pages. Went to campus at 10 am. Got back at 5 pm. Went to sleep. Woke up half an hour ago, aroun 8:30. Had dinner...or was that a late lunch? Anyway, thanks for keeping me awake last night, Fraulein XP. Nah, really, I appreciate it. Hehe, yes, in one way or another, you managed to keep me up all night *smirk*. I'll let you drive in Bali, just because of that. Yeah, we'll just rent a car instead of a motorbike (no, I don't trust you that much XP). And hey, no problem. Anytime. Btw, that plan of yours?

Nothing much happening on my front. My bro is busy with school, trying to catch up and stuff. I'm still collecting materials for my writing. Yeah, still writing. I mean, I wanna graduate at some point. And yunno what? I might just go to the march. If I feel like it. And I plan to wear pants and something comfy under those black robes. Screw kebayas XP.
Oh yeah, the other day I made some kind of casserole with my mom. Heh, dunno if that's considered a bonding activity, especially since there was some emotional blackmail being involved. But nevertheless, it was fun, and the food turned out good.
Yeah, nothing really interesting in this update. Just doing this to make you happy, Fraulein XP (yes, excuse the non-german-keyboard spelling XP). What? I blame it on the Sound of Music, hehe.

Heh, so many people that I know are getting married these days. Oh well, I wish them luck, more power to them and all that. Hehe, it's safe to say that marriage won't be associated with me in the near future. Fear of commitment and all. Besides, I'm not really sure what love is, yunno?
Koi, when are you gonna set foot on campus ground again? Tell me and I'll bring your book.
Good to know that you , actually know that you can be such a bitch at times XP. Btw, nice vid. I like the editing and the shots. And hey, you look great there... and the way you guys were grabbing the junk food, it was kinda cute *runs away and hides* And yes, I'm driving in Bali *cackles evilly*.

Went to campus. Got feedback. Will do my rewrite and the next chapter this week. Went to the library *gasp* And as always, went to the cafeteria. Met Joey, by pure luck, mostly coz our cell providers didn't relay her messages to me. And to think we're both using the same providers. Damn you IM3! So yeah, basicly just hung out with friends at campus. Talked about stuff, serious and nonsensical, switching from topic to topic, back and forth, and I'm convinced we all have the case of flight of ideas. Hehe, uni life, aint it great?
Koi, sorry, can't go to campus tomorrow. Have to run some errands and then meet Mel at Senayan to get some materials for my writing. Give my regards to Eve, will ya? Thanks. And say hi to the others for me.
Glad you guys are actually gonna be roomies. Hehe, just don't kill eachother now XP And... aren't you glad you two actually met in person after all that prodding from us?XP

*Sakura Dalam Pelukan ~ Chrisye*
Just watched Bowling for Columbine and whoa! Michael Moore is brilliant. And I admire his courage to actually make something like that and make it accesable to the public. If somebody made a movie/documentary like that here, they'd be whacked, I'm sure of that. Sure, freedom of speech and all, but still. For those of you who doesn't know, this movie is a documentary that shows how violence in the states in general is shaped by the media and politician who promotes fear and make questionable decisions regarding fire arms and weapons. US politics in general I guess. You should really watch it if you haven't. There's an interesting fact about Canada that made me laugh though. The movie showed how Canadians never lock their houses. I lived in Ottawa for 3 years and I think we lock the doors. But then again we're not Canadians. And then again, the movie used Windsor and Sarnia for examples. Hm, they should've tried Toronto also, big city and all that. Anyway, great documentary movie. And I recommend reading Stupid White Men, also by Michael Moore, if you enjoyed the movie.
Heh, US politics. I guess I just don't understand them. But then again, I also don't understand the stupidity of Indonesian politics. All is one big messy circus. And to think that election is coming up. Yay, my third one *rolls eyes*. No, I'm not that old, and I don't even remember why we had that second election... oh, wait, yeah, we toppled the dictator and then all the wannabes wanted an election to legitimate their power trip. And of course, as we all know, when stupid people are made as leaders, chaos ensues. Heh, I hope the upcoming election will actually make a breakthrough.
My comp gave me a scare today. I guess the motherboard was acting up again, and the system became unstable coz it messed up the screen and some programs. I was afraid that it also messed up the net connection and the messengers. Thank God it didn't. Thank you for answering my message at the last minute. I hope I didn't sound so needy XP I was influenced by fear, and fear leads to irrational measures XP. Hehe, I just wanted to make sure I don't need to bring this comp to the shoppe tomorrow. Don't feel like going through all the drama at this moment.
My bro got a haircut today and said goodbye to his 'fro. He got a crew cut, since he's gonna start his senior year in high school next week as the-new-kid-who-came-in-a-week-late. He's taking the science major. Hope everything goes well for him.
While I was waiting for my bro to get his haircut, I went to the bookstore. I was amazed how I found the site of this person wearing glasses so engrossed reading a book and seemingly oblivious to everything else... endearing. I guess people that have a love for books will always pull my interest. Not sure why, maybe because to me that shows their passion for knowledge? Even if the books are cheesy romance novels... I guess I could still tolerate that. Well, okay, they should also read other stuff too, but hey, at least they're reading something, that's a good thing. And even though people tend to think that glasses just ruins your appearance, I find it cute I guess... well, at least I did earlier. What am I talking about? Am I making sense at all? Why are you even reading this anyway XP? I'm sorry, pointless ramblings, but entertaining, no? Yeah, I need to go to sleep, and the munchkins are coming tomorrow. Gah. Better hide the rated R movies. Ending coherent thought right now.

*Popular: the Musical scene of Season 1 Finale ~ cast*
Remind me not to go to a boring presentation on an empty stomach while PMSing and not having enough sleep. I was practically muttering smartass comments under my breath while my friend just smiled and told me to behave. Sure I ate some cookies on the way there, but that wasn't enough. I somehow forgot to have lunch (don't ask me how, this rarely happens) and haven't had dinner yet. So yeah, naturally I was cranky.
My bro and I were watching these Popular eps again, and we couldn't help watching Two Weddings and a Funeral over and over again. The musical segment was so funny. And because it's been played over and over again, now I've got the songs in my head. If the cast actually did their own singing, I'd say they did a pretty good job, and most of them has a nice singing voice. Funny lyrics, and goofy acting. Ah, too bad the show's cancelled. I hope it comes out on DVD very soon. Anyway, somehow, Bio Glass' part is stuck in my brain now. It's kinda disturbing how true it is that most teachers are underpaid in this world... and what would happen if they became like Bobbi Glass :
These kids with their priviledges and clear skin
They make me quite sick
I barely make minimum wage
And I've never been licked
But I've got dreams and they're ruthless
My revenge isn't toothless
They all get Ds
And no more sophomore skip day!
I'm sorry, but I just keep picturing you as Maria from the Sound of Music after that thing you told me. ROFLMAO. And yeah, stop complaining about the not-so-hot weather XP You come down here and say that what you're experiencing is hot XP

*Somebody ~ Depeche Mode*
Had a pretty good day. Went to campus to see my new advisor, and she was pretty cool with everything. We talked, and decided that we're gonna meet every Monday. Hehe, turns out she also has a thesis deadline, for her graduate studies. We both were wishing each other good luck and stuff. It was pretty funny. Anyway, I think things are looking up.
Gita surprised me with a belated birthday present, with the wrapper and all. I guess I was like a little kid when I opened it under our tree earlier. Hey, it's not that I get these things everyday... or every year. It was nice. I got a cd and a scrapbook. That made a total of 8 bday presents that I got this year, with that ring from my cousin and that Orange Blue CD from Andy and those Buffy action figures from my bro. Not bad XD.
Too bad you couldn't come, Koi. Lots of people were there from our class. We kinda had a little reunion together. So, when are you gonna go to campus again? Thursday maybe? Btw, thanks for the talk last week. I miss that.
Finally watched Finding Nemo today. Went with Tika straight from campus. Funny movie. Joey insisted that we watch it, and she did a hell of a job convincing us. And yup, no complaints here. Except that there was this couple making out and probably actually going all the way in our row. I got backrow seats, and there were only six of us, including that couple. Tika was giving them the evil eye, but I guess they were too wrapped up in their own activites, well, in their position who wouldn't be. I was too engrossed in the movie to care... although it was disturbing when our seats actually started to shake. Heh, these people, making out in a kids movie... get a life, geez. Actually, get a room is more like it. I mean, I don't really care if anyone is making out in the theatres, but be discreet... and don't do it in a G movie for crying outloud. Gah.
There you go. Updated just for you XP It's good to have you back. And hey, don't blame me for that Las Vegas thing XP Just couldn't help it. Also, that writing you found on that bench? That was too funny *roflmao*.

*Ana's Song ~ Silverchair*
Went to PIM last night with my bro. Went to a bookstore and a guy was complimenting my shirt. I was wearing my X Japan t-shirt. Hehe, he asked me where I bought it, and stupidly, all I could say was "Um, I got it from a friend." And he said "It's really nice." And then things were silent... and we both turned around and left eachother. I was actually dragged away by my bro, who just laughed and told me I should get paid for promoting the tshirt. Now, hours later after that, I'm still berating myself for not telling the guy he could get the shirt thru me... at least there'd be a reason to swap numbers. Hehe, yeah, he was cute. Dammit, me and my slow reflexes.
After that we went to eat at Wendy's and whoa, I'd never thought to see her there. Heh, funny how you see people from your past in places you never thought of seeing them in. Is it pure chance that we saw Olivia there? My bro saw her first, in the process of checking out girls *rolls eyes*. "That girl looks familliar... but it can't be her." I turned around to take a look. "She really looks like.." he trailed off. "Olivia. Damn, it's really her." Alright, she's this friend, back from my Canada days. We were kind of close at one point, but then, I won't bore you with the details, we drifted apart, until finally we lost contact. So I went up to her, and I guess she's happy to see me, the bearhug kinda gave me a hint. Also the fact that we were probably making a scene with all her enthusiastic 'Omigods', 'I can't believes' and those other things you say to people you thought you'd never see again, hehe. And in the name of all that is holy, why on earth did she have to say "Are you married now?". Okay, she was probably tired, and I was wearing a plain silver ring...but it was on my middle finger. What's with the obsession with marriage, huh? Anyway, we talked awhile, swapped numbers, promised to stay in touch and whatnot. What's with these strange coincidences..or fate...or whatever? Not that I'm complaining...or maybe I am, I dunno. Yeah, sure it's nice to see her again, but somehow I have this feeling that this is gonna be like opening a can of worms *sigh*. Guess we'll just have to see where this is gonna lead. Confused? Heh, I know I am. Guess I'm not sure what I'm trying to say myself. Why are you even reading this junk anyway XP?
Watched 'So Close' again today, on dvd. Hehe, it's cute how they made the subtext into maintext at the end, without overdoing it. Hm, wonder if I can make a Fuffy fic with the So Close storyline. We'll see. Haven't written anything lately. So many incomplete fics, so many ideas, but not really in the mood to write. Maybe later.

*You're a God ~ Vertical Horizon*
Good news! Well, for me at least. I don't have to resign. I went to campus and found out that I'm on the list for the extended thesis periode, or whatever you call it. So are you, koi. Yeah, we have to do some administration stuff, but what else is new?
Right, anyway. Need to relearn statistics. Gah! Anybody could help me with this? Yeah, finally I relented and chucked the qualitative study out the window. Hello, correlation study. Heh, I feel like I sold out big time. So much for idealism. Oh well, either that, or dropping out, which I don't think is an option at this point. Okay then, gonna start relearning statistics *picks up Kartun Statistik*. What? I couldn't find 'Statistics for Dummies' *shrugs*

*21 Questions ~ 50 Cent*
Yep, my second entry today. What? I'm bored *shrugs*
Anyway, next week is my bro's birthday. Wonder what I should get him. Probably a bibb, since he drools when he sleeps. It wouldn't matter if it was on every other night or so, but this happens everynight. Yes, I also drool occasionally, but he's too much. So yeah, guess I'll get him a bibb. Hehe, he did point out that if I'm gonna get him a bibb, he'd like a Leslie Bibb, or better yet, a Carly Pope *rolls eyes*. Not that I blame him. Yeah, we've been watching those Popular episodes that I have. He loves them, and still watches them again and again. Now he has this Carly Pope obsession. Again, I don't blame him, but now the wallpaper on my desktop is of CP instead of ED. Grr, it's my comp, dammit. Heh, maybe I should find a wallpaper that has both ladies on it. Yeah right, like that's easy. Hehe, maybe I should find a wallpaper of Mary Cherry instead *eg*. Ah, Popular. Subtext. Yeah, shutting up now.

*Rest Stop ~ Matchbox Twenty*
Got a bad haircut yesterday. Will not dwell on it. It'll grow. And thank God for gel. So what if I have to use gel everyday, a certain souled vampire from tv does *shrugs*. Again, it'll grow (yep, I keep on telling myself this. Nobody burst my bubble, okay?).
Well, today I went to campus, and found out that I might have to resign and enroll in the extension program, unless, I get to have an extended periode on my thesis or something like that. Gah, I know this is one way for the campus to get money, coz if I sign up for the extension program, they're gonna receive more cash from me. Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Yeah, I know, it's not the end of the world, but it's too much hassle. And it's my parents money, guess I don't feel too good on using it on that. Yeah, all that is past is done, so I'm not gonna cry over spilt coffee...or is it milk? Anyway, just gotta get thru this one day at a time. Heh, parents aren't happy, but I can't tell them the reasons of me not functioning properly this past year. Gee, sorry, Mom, Pops, I was somewhat clinically depressed last year, and my scholar side of me just went defective (yeah, yeah, I'm malingering, shut up!). Gah, again, I hope it doesn't come to that. Funny how life is. When it strikes me down, it strikes me hard. Yeah, I know, not the end of the world, still...
Okay, enough depressing stuff. Yeah, it's my blog, but hey, I'm planning to be less cynical and less pessimistic *snickers*. Yeah right. On a happier note, heard some news from Andrea. She was in Vegas a few days earlier, and now she's moving on to the mountains. Again, thanks for the news, Michelle. Glad to hear from you, and her... well, you know what I mean.
Oh yeah, I got my Buffy action figures a few days back. Only took out Faith and Buffy out, since there's not much space around here anymore. Now the Chosen Two are happy together standing on my comp monitor. And yunno, sometimes you could almost swear that each morning they're position isn't quite the same as the previous night. Yes, somebody has already pointed out to me how I'm a dork... but come on, it's Faith and Buffy! Faith in her usual uniform (white tanktop and leather pants), who could resist that? Yeah, I admit, the Buffy figure isn't as nice and detailed as Faith's, since it's the action figure from season 1. But hey, it's better than nothing.
Got that 50 Cent song in my head now, that 21 Questions song. I blame it on my bro. Yes, I admit it's a good song. Well, good luck on finding a girl who will answer 'yes' to questions like that, hehe. Girls like that are one in a million, once in a lifetime... and I'm quoting that cheesy song from Miss Congeniality *bangs head on keyboard*. Hey, if someone asked me those 21 questions, I'd answer "It depends." You gotta be selfish once in a while for good reasons *shrugs*. So I'm bitter. Sue me.

*Slide ~ Goo Go Dolls*
Thank you,Disc Tarra for having a CD sale. So far, I've gotten the Goo Goo Dolls' Dizzy Up the Girl and Ego, Opinion, Art & Commerce. Also System of a Down's Toxicity. Oh yeah, also bought Padi's new CD. Heh, their first and second is better. Or maybe I just have to get used to this album first? Coz when I bought the second album, I was instantly drawn to some of the songs, like Semua Tak Sama. Anyway, right now I'm listening to 'Slide' from Dizzy Up the Girl album. Dunno why, but I really like this line : What you think is what you are, and what you are is beautiful. It's too bad there are many beautiful people in this world who doesn't feel that way, because most of them are not beautiful by conventional and mass standards, or simply they aren't told enough that they are beautiful.
Saw Charlie's Angels : Full Throttle last night. It was a pretty fun movie. My bro and I went to PIM and hoped to catch the 19:30 show, but we got the 'midnight' show at 22:00. Heh, don't ask me why they call that a midnight show. Anyway, back to the movie. I liked how they made parodies of other movies and tv series. The Sound of Music, CSI and MI:2 was the ones I noticed. Didn't really like Bernie Mac's acting there. Dunno why, but I can't really see the chemistry between him and the Angels. Something was off. But Demi Moore... wow!. The Angels were cute, but Madison Lee was hot!. Hehe, I wonder who were her 2 other partners back when she was still an active Angel. Alright, won't give any of the plotlines away, but I'd say this is a fun movie worth watching, if you like action movies. And lots of eye candies, female and male, so yeah, not bad at all. One thing that was kinda distracting me from the movie was this chick that was sitting beside me. She was texting thru out the movie... okay, that didn't really distract me, but her perfume did. My God, woman, did you spray a whole pint on yourself? Luckily the smell was nice, but still... I still have her scent on me right now as I type. Yeah, okay, I haven't showered yet, but that's not the point... okay, just read what I just typed, why does it sound like I just had a one night stand with this chick? Hehe, anyway, moral of the story, don't overdo the perfume. Yes, perfumes are nice...well, some of them are. But when it's too much, it annoys people. Thank you.
Hey, Andrea, got your message. Hehe, hope you and your dad are not killing each other out there. Btw, fics you want me to save, any particular requests? Coz I just remembered that I already deleted some of them, due to mailbox overuse. Just tell me the authors and I'll dig them up for you. Are you at Vegas yet? Hehe, go easy on the gambling and don't get too drunk. Hope Godzilla doesn't make a guest appearance there *eg*.
Alright, gotta shower and do some grocery shopping. Hehe, maybe there's some new DVDs out there.

*You Wanted More ~ Tonic*
All right, after a few days of 'What the hell just happened?!' I think I'm alright. Well, not really alright, but coping somehow. Yup, it's a wonder how housework takes your mind off things. And I actually... um... *cough*bakedmuffins*cough*. What?*shrugs* Anyway, today, the stuff from Oz is here. Actually, it's already down the road somewhere as we speak. They had a few technical problem getting it inside the neighbourhood or something. Oh well, my parents are working it out. Heh, I wonder if I could actually stand tomorrow after today. Lifting things and all. And not to mention my toe still hurts after yesterday. Hehe, yeah, was playing around with my bro as usual. It was all fun and games until he tackled me and my toe bled. Luckily the nail is still intact *shudders*.
So, anyway, turning a new leaf and all (where the hell did this expression came from?) I'm gonna start working on my thesis more extensively. Besides, promised Andy I'll give her some kind of good news regarding my graduation when she gets back from the States.
