All about manga!

I found a good article today about all different interesting manga out there.

And I found myself got carried away to re-live those good old time spending the whole day reading manga :D

I finished reading 12 manga today @_@
I guess thats a bit too much actually >.> but, well, I guess thats to repay my absence from reading manga these past few...weeks? xD

And that reminds me how my usual list of visited manga sites are gone with my ruby.
So here I'll write some links for manga sites I usually visited for my future reference:
http://stoptazmo.com/
http://shoujomagic.net/ --> mostly girly shoujo manga ;P
http://vnsharing.net--> the site is in vietnamese but you can get your hands around it easily for manga downloads
http://www.vimanga.ru/manga/
http://www.mangaworld.org/
http://www.omanga.net/
http://kotonoha.monkey-pirate.com/

I found some manga really have mature contents, not necessarily in the "H" meanings, but also in that they have mature topics: some might be so dark, weird, and abstract you get yourself confused. Still, not many succeeded to impress me though. I think I have to make some posts later about manga that touches me.

Daily program necessities!

Ok, this one is a rather geeky post.
After my ruby left me I am forced to make use of my working desktop optimally, not just as my unix workstation to which I connect from my ruby :P

And...turns out im sooo highly dependent on some programs. I just can't function without having them ready at my disposal first. So. I'd like to enlist them, also for my own need when later I have to set up my ruby part de deux ;P

Of course as a fake CS student I dont really know much abt these programs aside from merely their use which is relevant to my need. You should refer to J for more informations, plus he is my trusted source of information abt all these programs :P

1. Mozilla
This is the first and foremost because I need to use it to download other programs that I will need :P
Along with it, install the add ons :
  • Adblock plus ( J's suggestion)
  • Delicious ( still J's suggestion)
  • Pray time! (my own need, dont forget to set the alarm 10 mins before the prayer time. no, not to prepare to pray on time, rather to not miss the previous prayer xD)
2. AVG
Everyone needs an anti virus of course. This one is free and working great for me =]
Unlike that symantec one which always bugged me with updating process and taking soo much effort just to uninstall it completely @_@

3. Yahoo messenger (+ msn live messenger optionally)
It's of some utmost priority to be installed immediately because I need to bug J if I need to ask question abt what to install, how, etc xD
I started to use MSN too. They have the customizable emoticon feature that just made me much more expressive than in yahoo ;P

4. Putty
My works are involving programs that only works in unix system. Since I refuse to use all those unix kind as my main OS. I rely on Putty to connect to my unix workstations.

6. WinSCP
Still related with the previous I use this to transfer back and forth the files I manipulated in Windows to be executed in Unix.

7. TortoiseSVN
Working in a team which use SVN (almost the same with CVS back then) to collect the works and maintain the versioning I found this program is convenient for my windows oriented mindset ;P
J complained that it adds things to the right click though, which is correct, but *shrugs* o, well.

6. Ultra Edit (pirated) or PSPad
I love Ultra Edit! I make use of its macro well for my work. It's pirated though >.>
J is advocating me to do right and use free programs. And this PSPad comes quite as a nice replacement for UltraEdit.

7. Acrobat PDF (pirated) or Ghostscript + Ghostviewer
The thing I love most abt the pirated Acrobat is the commenting facility. Oh, how I love to scribble so many things on all my pdf files I read. It just doesnt feel that I really read it if I dont put at least some highlights in some lines, or some question mark in some sentences, or a not so short comment of my a ha! moment when I read that file.
It's pirated though... I have to resort to GS *sobs sobs*

8. Miktex + WinEdt (Pirated) or TexnicCenter
To work on LaTex files. TexnicCenter is decent, I have not used it long enough, but then WinEdt wasnt really good in particular either, so *shrugs*

9. Visio 2002 (pirated)
I just have to have it! I'm a pretty visual person, so I really like to draw some graphs illustrating my thoughts. And I just already get used to visio I get so irritated not finding it in a basic microsoft office setting.

10. Microsoft Excell
Somehow I just make use of it a lot. And no, the one from Open Office could not replace it.

11. VMWare
So I can have another OS running along with my Windows. J suggested this. I haven't tried it yet but I suppose when I really make use of it I can delete Putty and WinSCP from my topmost lists ;P

The rest of the list would be some not really necessary stuff"
11. CDisplay
To read comics xD

12. Xming
To be able to display some GUI from my remote terminal.

13. go to pixelgirlpresents
Ok this is not a program ;P but I love myself a nice looking wallpaper, and thats the ultimate source for it :D

Hmmm...what else...I guess I'll add my list when I remember them along the way. Whats your daily program necessity ?

Random light thought abt ayat2 cinta

*ini tadinya di draft kan karena setelah dilihat2 isinya rada jahat gitu, ngga gitu fair. bagus2nya ni buku ngga dibilang. tapi berhubung ternyata ada yg udah ngeh duluan ;P ya sudahlah di publish lagi dulu aja, dilengkapinnya kapan2 ;P*

ngga, gw ngga mo ngulas ni buku :p

cuma tadi kepikiran aja,

kan komen orang yg dtulis dsitu banyak tu yg bilang pngen dapet suami kaya fahri.
kok klo gw ga gitu suka ya karakternya si fahri ini?

mnurut gw karakternya rada tinggi hati, gitu. ngga begitu rendah hati lah *redundan banget bo*
(tentang status dia yg S2 al azhar, berguru di syaikh Utsman; ttg harusnya cewenya yg bilang suka ma dia *duh!*, etc)
kadang-kadang kaya ngga genuine, ngga tulus.
("saya cuma ingin dia merasa senang. tak lebih") -->or something like that.
dalam nyampein pendapat/dakwahnya kadang2 ngga halus
(karena gw orang jawa kali ya ;P)

kesimpulan gw pribadi aja sih dari yg tersirat.
I guess this is good, the character isnt perfect the way human is never perfect in real life ;)
tp, ya, intinya bukan tipe cowo gw lah ;P

somehow gw jg sebel ada beberapa salah kata serapan, editornya kok ga teliti.
(but im being anal in general abt this, so not really the editor's fault i guess)
yg gw inget kaya : "Mom, please take my seat" kata si Aisha di tram.
heh? emang doski nyokap elu?
gw rasa sih harusnya "Ma'am" kali ya maksudnya?
ato di mesir biasa manggil Mom ke sembarang ibu ibu yg ditemui di jalan mungkin ya?
trus ada istilah asing yg bikin gw "huh?" juga karena kayanya dia pikir spellingnya gitu padahal bukan (bukan sekedar typo maksudnya, tp ini gw lupa apa)
trus bahasa jermannya kok rada janggal ya?
diksinya ngga begitu umum gitu.

but maybe its just me being sirik, nyari2 kesalahan orang *shrugs* :p
overall its a good book to read anyway =]

disclaimer:
komen ini ditulis dengan asal, kutipan2nya ditulis seinget saya aja jadi mungkin beda ma yg asli :p

Procrastinating : lite on politics

Posting ini bukan tentang apa itu procrastinating; posting ini ada karena gw sedang berprocrastinating ;P
(itu serapan dan penggunaan imbuhan yang baik dan benar bukan, ya? xD)

Light thoughts abt politics:

1. Abis baca judul provokatip di detik "Kyai Berdoa Hancurkan Sigid"

Kirain Sigid tu apaan, jenis rudal yang ngancem bakal ngancurin Indonesia gitu, ato singkatan nama virus berbahaya (temennya SARS? Severe Immune Gigantic I.... --> dilanjutkan kalo dah ada ide), ato benda apa kek yang sebegitu bahayanya bakal merusak harkat hidup orang banyak ampe kyai2 pada berdoanya rame2.

Eh, taunya itu nama orang! Astaghfirullahhaladzim.

Ya, Allah, mana doanya serem bener, disama2in sama peristiwa di surat Al-Fiil @_@

Gw tau lah orang indonesia suka aneh, tapi kalo kaya gitu udah kebangetan banget banget banget, tau ga sih.

Dimana2 setau gw juga ga ada ceritanya Nabi Muhammad SAW nyontohin ngedoain jelek ke orang laen kaya gitu.

Its....sooo.......
erghhh...ewww...eww....ewww
im speechless.

Gw ga pngen sok teu apa2, gw jg gak pengen khotbah apa2, cuma gw bener bener amat sangat sangat terganggu denger orang make sarana doa untuk hal kaya gitu.

Dari dulu gw emang udah 'nek sih sama politik, jadi mungkin gw emang rada bias. Tapi plis deh, cuma gonjang ganjing satu partai politik disamain ama pasukan gajah nyerang Mekkah yang sampe masuk Al-Qur'an? *sigh*

May Allah SWT be with us all and bless our politicians, may all of us always be in the right and straight path.

Masih ada yg laen sih, kaya itu tu khas indonesia banget ngga sih ngambinghitamin satu orang. tapi itu masih minor lah...

2. Obama kayanya bakal menang dari Hillary ya ;D

Waa, seneng, deh. Soalnya sebelumnya kayanya ga mungkin gitu dari Democrats bakal keluar Obama yg notabene bukan kulit putih :D

tapi liat ntar deh...semoga aja ntar ngga kalah ya dari McCainnya Republicans. Denger2 kebijakan McCainnya ini serem2 T_T

Tapi denger dari temen2 yg US, pemilu mereka ini bener2 hot topic buat semua orang disana. Jadi semoga aja yg ngevote taun ini bakal bener2 aware dengan pilihan mereka.
Hope US will really change!

3. I wuv Angela Merkel xD

hihihi, sebenernya daku ngga gitu2 perhatian amat sih ma politik Deutschland. Tapi....angela merkel itu imut banget pas piala dunia 06! xD

Doski (oopss...ganti apa ni vel?;P) tu yang semangat banget loncat2, berbinar-binar dan tepuk2 tangan tiap lagi liat tim Deutschland maen!
hihihi, kaya anak kecil gitu, padahal kan dia tu presiden xD

Dan kemaren ini dia ngumumin bahwa dia ga bakal ngedatengin pembukaan olimpiade di Cina. Shes the first.
Respekt.

Gw ngga begitu baca2 banget sih ttg Cina vs Tibet, tapi dari yg gw tau, kok kayanya Cina kebangetan gitu. (Reinkarnasi hanya seizin pemerintah Cina, what the ...?)

So, yea, i wuv angela xD

Ngasal time :D

hihihi, ceritanya abis ( dan masih sedang sih sebenernya) baca blognya raditya dika.
Hihihi, ngocol abis xD
jadi pengen nulis ngasal pake bahasa indonesia, deh ;P

tulisannya tuh ngingetin banget ma stylenya hilman, tau ngga sih?
yg daku bacanya ampe bisa ngakak2 abis gitu.
*padahal daku bacanya past mitnait, tetangga2 pada stress kali ya dengernya :p*

kangennn, deh, baca sambil ngakak ngga jelas gini xD
jadi inget masa2 daku koleksi Olga, Lupus dan kawan2nya :D
*btw, hilman, -engkau idolaku...hilmannnn,,,- itu kemana ya sekarang?*

Daku ketinggalan banget yak, baru sekarang baca blog doski.
Padahal dia yg udah ampe nerbitin (almost) 4 buku gitu ^^;;>
Gini lah nasib ngga gaul ma kabar2 Indo *sigh*
Untung setidaknya gw masih apdet kalo tentang gosip dan seleb macem Chincha Lawrah xD

Daku udah ngincer sih sebenernya bukunya, pas terakhir pulang.
Ada bukunya di bagian best seller gitu deh, Kambing Jantan.
Tertarik sih.
Langsung diinget2, "ntar harus cek blognya, kambingjantan.com" (kalo ngga salah ni ya).

Tapi waktu itu ga beli bukunya karena udah telanjur kalap ambil macem2 buku laen.
Ampe keberatan. Ditumpuk2 dan nyaris akrobat daku bawa2nya pake dua tangan
(sampe akhirnya ada pak satpam yang jatuh iba dan mendekati, "mbak, pake kantong ini aja mbak, bawanya", ngasihin kantong belanja Gramedia. Aduhhh malunyaaa, ketinggalan zaman sekali daku xD).

Dan waktu itu karena kok sepertinya banyak sekali buku2 baru indonesia yang ga jelas judulnya, jadi mikirnya cuma, ah, paling just yet another new teen lit.
Hehehe, tapi setelah sukses ngakak beberapa jam gini jadi nyesel deh waktu itu ga beli ^^.

Tapi timingnya bagus banget deh nemu blog ini.
Karena tadi sebelum baca tuh daku yang lagi stresssssss abisssss.
Sumpek, suntuk, sutriss, su.....ya pokoknya lagi kesel abis gitu deh.
Lagi lagi masih tentang nasibku yang nelangsa ditinggal rubyku tersayang..hiks hiks hiks.

Jadi ceritanya bahkan setelah seminggu lebih itu transaksi Dell masih belom beres2 juga!

Pertama: Loh, kok offer free deliverynya ngga dimasukin?
Udah, total biayanya dikurangin biaya delivery.
Eh, kok modemnya jadi ilang dari list specs?
Dimasukin kembali lah itu modem.
waaa, jadi pengen printer yang lagi diskon!
Ditambahinlah sang printer.
tapi...
aduh, itu printernya salah tipe. bukan yang itu.
imel lagi imel lagi.
dan terakhir...
halah printernya salah diskon.
imel lagi.

*tunggu tunggu tunggu*
ahhhhhh!! udah ampir jam 5!! ini hari jumat!!
*telpon telpon telpon*
dering cuma sekali trus tulalit...
*keukeuh...telpon telpon..telpon*

tapi.... setelah jam menunjukkan jam 5 lewat dan tak kunjung ada imel maupun tanda2 telpon gw nyambung,
yakinlah gw si mbaknya udah pulang dengan bahagia memulai wikennya T_T
orderan laptopkuuuuuu...... *cryyyyyyy*

padahal gw udah wanti2 banget ke mbaknya ini harus beres hari ini. soalnya beres hari ini pun, ntar dapetnya baru april tgl 24. gw udah rasanya pngen langsung asal ngasih nomer credit cardnya aja biar cepet. ehhhh, ditinggal weekend...hiks hiks.

like...omgah!!! @#$%^&*!!!!!
*eh itu bukan enkripsi pisuhan,ya. itu karena gw dah ga tau mo ngomong apa lagi*

jadilah daku yang udah ditinggal ruby hampir 2 minggu ini ceritanya pengen ngamuk T_T

nangis2 bombay: check.
meraung raung kaya anak kecil minta mainan baru: check.
mukul2in guling+ bantal: check.

ih, kok kaya kurang seru ya *pouts*,

mentang2 seapartemen sendiri jadi lah daku keluar cari yg laen2 buat sasaran kesebelan.
sendal rumah: yahhh, dilempar malah membal gitu.
sekardus kecil kue: cuma...buk! selesai. tsk, ga seru.
*barusan tapi si kardus kue yang malang ini gw pungut lagi, kok. dan gw abisin... isinya dong bukan kardusnya. yummm :9*
piring:....wahh, males bersihinnya ntar.
kursi: ...hehe, kayanya kuat tuh kursi2 apartemen gw.
klang! klang! jatuhlah dua kursi gw.

Ehh, pintu kamar digedor. Si pacar :D
Doski marah2, gw banting2 kursi kedengeran ampe atas katanya. Dikata tu kursi punya gw apa?!?!

hehehe, gw lagi stress, malah dimarah2in :P
sebenernya gw ga gitu ngerti juga jadinya dia tadi ngomong apa aja, namanya juga lagi stress ^^;;>

tapi intinya jadi tadi tuh semaleman gw sedang sedih dan stres2nya lah.

naa, trus nemu blog yg bikin ngakak itu :D
ketawa itu menyenangkan ya ;P
dan ternyata ngasal pake bahasa indonesia itu jauh lebih enak dan ekspresip xD
ntar bakal lebih digalakkan deh nulis pake bahasa indonesia. terutama kalo lagi stress hihihi.

ya sudah lah...laptop masih belom punya, kamar masih berantakan, tapi gw nya udah nyengir, not a bad start eh?

hope its gonna be a great weekend for all of us =]

Memento

I made a silly dancing video recently, me dancing that famous hare hare yukai dance :D

Its just for fun actually.

I never really get into youtube ppl, making videos of themselves doing something and put it in the internet for ppl to see.

But upon watching the result (its fun and funny, really, everyone should try to dance it xD) i found its kinda something I would love to keep.

And probably to show to my loved ones later in the future.
("This is granny dancing hare hare yukai back then when I had nothing better to do in Italy" xD)

Sweet memories always bring up smiles, right?
And... its something to immortalize what we have now.
The hairstyle, the agility of youth (lolz), the clothes, even the background sceneries.

I guess in that notion, pictures deliver the same memories.

Hmm... now come to think of it, probably thats why so many ppl made their own nude pictures?
To immortalize that flaunted body?
Since nothing lasts forever...

Luxury Expenses

I think its time for me to return this blog to its original purpose, for daily light thoughts.
This one isnt really light though since its been occupying my head these last few days @_@

How do you manage your expenses?

Im not much of a shop-a-holic. I only buy stuffs when I really need them, when the old one is already broken/finished, when I cant find any other thing to substitute it.

Thats why sophie kinsella's stories never really seemed to echo on me. Buying shoes as an investment? my dearest ridla girls agreed on it, and they really do have pretty shoes suitable for every kind of occasion. I..only have a pair of sneakers aged 2 years, a pair of snow proof shoes (because the afromentioned sneakers just couldnt hold up to the snows and start to look saddening recently T_T), a pair of girly shoes (for every formal occasion possible), and a pair of hiking sandals.

Thats also because Im very picky. Buying things have always been an exhausting experience, consuming at least 2 days or more, and will only ends if I definitely sure i really really really want to buy that thing (sometimes involving me dreaming of that stuff already @_@). Therefore by nature I try to avoid buying things as much as I could.

But bad thing happens. ( an euphemism of s*** happens xD)

My laptop is dead.
Now, from browsing around, I want an xps m1330.
my other options :
- IBM T61 : scratched because I'd be forever itched to correct that asymmetrical monitor. for godsake! didnt they know everything must be balanced on earth?!?! xD
- m1530 : I dont want to add more weight to my daily 7 kgs backpack =(
- macbook pro : its much more expensive =( *the same goes to sony stuffs*
- a desktop : I might be traveling around, and its not really something compact i can bring with me or stuff somewhere to be left temporarily.

but then...my supervisor said in 2 or 3 months there might be some money for the univ to buy a laptop for me.

the thing is :
1. losing my laptop is driving me crazy these past few days, srsly
2. I always feel uneasy abt borrowed stuff

now, xps m1330 isnt really that cheap...
its on promotion now so i can get some discounts, but still...expensive.
dont even start to calculate the fact that im buying it in euro now, and that euro's value is skyrocketing now compared to rupiah.

I do have some money for it.
But, am I spending on some tertiary/luxury stuff if I buy this?

Its something I remember from my elementary school lesson. 3 types of spending :
primary, secondary, tertiary/luxury. A good person should not waste much on tertiary stuff and should save his/her money instead for rainy days :D

What I feel now is that a laptop is a primary need for me. Its something that I need everyday, its something I need to do all my works, its something I need with me in keeping all my routines that I have been and will have to keep on doing. I know I'd be using it to the fullest, and I know I would love to have it to last as long as possible.

But then, looking at the price, looking at the other possibilities that I can actually make do with,..is this a luxury item?
Does having an enough amount of money, so that u r not actually spending beyond ur limit, makes u eligible to spend on an expensive stuff?

I've been stressing myself out lately with this thought @_@
Im soooo desperate for a new laptop but then this thought always made me hesitant to make my transaction T_T

Another thing.
I've been craving for a dancepad since forever.
I desperately searched one in Indonesia but they dont have any with USB connection.
Ive finally found a retailer for europe, and after harassing them I finally found that they have a 1 year warranty for the dance pads and that they will replace defective products if I happen to receive one. Im just one step away from finalizing my order when again that same thought came.

Its a good one, and its european, so its not cheap.
But I know I would dance so often on it, if not every morning as my sport ^^.
I have even dreamed about playing on one, thats how I crave for this dancepad >_<
But does that makes a strong excuse for my spending?

I would blame this kind of confusion to the fact that im living in europe with a background knowledge of indonesian life.

had I been living in indonesia maybe none of those are even considered as my option.

had i always been living in europe maybe all of those are just some normal stuff, normal expenses.

...these things give me headaches @_@

I knew I never liked to have anything to do with money *sigh*

Tarot


You are The Lovers


Motive, power, and action, arising from Inspiration and Impulse.


The Lovers represents intuition and inspiration. Very often a choice needs to be made.


Originally, this card was called just LOVE. And that's actually more apt than "Lovers." Love follows in this sequence of growth and maturity. And, coming after the Emperor, who is about control, it is a radical change in perspective. LOVE is a force that makes you choose and decide for reasons you often can't understand; it makes you surrender control to a higher power. And that is what this card is all about. Finding something or someone who is so much a part of yourself, so perfectly attuned to you and you to them, that you cannot, dare not resist. This card indicates that the you have or will come across a person, career, challenge or thing that you will fall in love with. You will know instinctively that you must have this, even if it means diverging from your chosen path. No matter the difficulties, without it you will never be complete.

time to say goodbye?

so...yea...my dearest ruby...just decided to go stuttering over and over the booting process since yesterday. she had been so nice to gave me quite some time to burn my important work data though before then repeating that stuttering process again.

Apparently something is wrong with the motherboard, theres something that went loose inside. It can be started just like usual, and it might let me do some works, but in an indefinite time that loosing part will take action, and my laptop will suddenly went off then reboot itself.

J and I were trying to pry it open yesterday, but we stopped just after we reached the memory part. I chickened out looking at all those green ic boards everywhere. the hard disk is ok, we tested in on j's laptop. so...should be something deeper...

I so wish theres someone expert at this laptop thing, who can just open it and glance it for awhile then fix whatever is loose there. cause im sure it shouldnt be something serious, (or should it?). J kept on saying its reaching the age, its just how these electronics go.

but anyway, i couldnt do any work yesterday...and gawd, how this profession had made me sooo attached to laptop. i cant live without one! T_T
that, plus my advisors are sooo eager with my work more than I do @_@
I finally used J's old powerbook yesterday nite just to find out there r already 7 mails of them discussing my work *orz*

I started looking out for one yesterday...dell xps m1330. what dya think?
*to be continued*

Shuffle

So, I've been wondering what in the world are these malaysian friends of mine talking about shuffle?

Googling it I found nothing other than card shuffling which I think is so remotely related to what they were talking about.

Until with a help of a friend finally I found what exactly it is today.

So it's a dance style which is popular in Malaysia and Australia.
My conclusion is that it's some kinda dancing style with stomping feet movements accompanied by musics with loud and fast bass beats *is that even understandable?* xD

The dance isnt really that impressive for me, just my opinion of course ^^;;>
Because for me a dance should be something pretty where ur body dance to the music and u enjoy and feel the music.

To me shuffle looks more like some trance dance; where u got lost in the music, where u r not really conscious abt ur dance.

Maybe because its just more emphasizing in the feet movement so it seems the hands and the upper part body dont seem to enjoy the dance? maybe because I havent get used to the kind of music to know that is how u properly enjoy such music? maybe because I havnt tried it myself? maybe I should so I can give a more appropriate comments on this phenomenon;D

well anyway here are some links:

more randomness


Take the Magic: The Gathering 'What Color Are You?' Quiz.

Ice Skating

So, for the first time evah in my life I tried this sport today.

And now I've got 2 blisters on my feet, my whole body hurts so much, i couldnt sleep, and I guess Im too tired that I had nightmares when I accidentally fell asleep: I screamed things aloud T_T
so here i am blogging in the middle of the nite instead of sleeping @_@

It was nice actually ;D

I got a nice friend who kindly taught me the basics from scratch lol. Thankiiiess so very much for u!
I fell like the whole time though >_<
but he said I always fell very nicely!
so I guess Im proud that im such a pro in falling while skating =D

anyway some notes to self about skating:

- wear water resistant gloves
I fell down too much I guess that not before long my gloves r already wet cause I kept on falling and falling and holding on the ice to steady myself up.

- wear water resistant pants
Again, since I fell down most of the time, I went home with my jeans wet starting from under my knees downward and on my bums area. It wasn't nice wearing them back home on such a cold windy day @_@

- wear thick sport socks
I used the rented ice skating shoes sized 40D. Either that size is too narrow for my feet or it was just because I wear thin socks, I got blisters now on my inner side of feet. One for each foot in a perfectly same position.

I praise the developed technology of hansaplast here though that I could get something nice for my blisters instead of leaving them just like that.

It's called Cerotti per Vesiche. Transparent coloured, with gel to compress the irritated area and with the nice shape and comfortable substance which adhere nicely to the form of my feet. It protects the blister from getting more ouchy frictions, it soothes the pain (just a bit T_T), and its water proof too. It said it should helps a rapid recovery, lets hope so :D

- read some ice skating basics tutorial etc later
I didnt really know what I was doing, knowing I could slide to move here and there in between my falls made me happy already :D
But I still havnt got that smooth perfect rhythm to slides nicely, I still slided awkwardly, stumbled now and then, and my friend said I still did some unnecessary-complicating-additional moves every time I slide.
No matter how he explained to me the right way to slide, its always such a mess for me to change from 1 foot to another, the direction, the weight focus @_@
I should learn more abt that somehow.

All in all it was really a nice experience to be able to slide on ice! ;D

Im just hoping so much I could sleep anytime soon now and that this pain all over my body will go away soon T_T

Random scribble

Acute laziness for the lose! >_<
No motivation at all T_T
remind me again, how did I end up here and what exactly am I doing here so far away from home? >_<
why I always seem to be behind the schedules? @_@


My fav songs lately

imeem playlist
I need the loud upbeat songs to deafen the voices in my head: *I havnt done this, oh and that too, and that one, and...* x_x

my ultra bored siggy ;P

It's hot, dude!
The sun shines so bright and fierce today it almost looks like summer already.
The temperature is between 4 - 7 degrees celc. And Im happily wearing just my light jacket to campus, which turned out unnecessary after adding the fact that I ran to catch the bus ;P Sweating on winter season...so rare :D

One disaster at a time
thats a quote that somehow I remember from the movie "Frida Kahlo".
I guess its what I should apply to get rid of my piling deadlines....one disaster at a time...
gambatteh me! +U +U! Add oil! lol xD

Letting go...

I've posted such a sad sad entry before...
I guess I owe myself to write an enlightenment for my own closure.

So, I've prayed.
The special prayer for the deceased, shalat ghaib.

I have learnt this prayer since I was in my junior high school.
Yet, still, I need to consult books to refresh my memory again every time I need to do it.
I guess, I should be grateful for that, because it means I seldom have such need to do the prayer...

I couldn't sleep that day.
I tried to distract myself with anything I can think of, but again and again I would be back to square one, remembering Mbah Kakung and feeling... the disbelief.

But then I finally decided that I had to do it...
I need to be at peace...
So I open my books searching for the guide for shalat ghaib.

And... I cant believe how could I forget such a beautiful prayer.

Such an elaborate and complete prayer.
I can't possibly wishing anything better for my grandpa other than those wishes in the prayer.

So, I prayed.
And when I finished
I knew I made such a nonsense with all the crying and denial.

Mbah kakung is surely in a much better place now.
Just like how I wished through the prayer.

all my memories with him are filled with joy, laughter, happiness, love, and everything that warms my heart and thats how Mbah Kakung will always remain in my heart and in my prayer.
yusi sayang Mbah Kakung, peluk cium buat Mbah Kakung
