New Chapter

I was laughing when I read my previous post which dated back in May 2011. Here I am, writing a new post 10 months after I said I need to keep a journal of my life. I have a million reasons of why I haven't been doing that, but I'm not gonna go into that, it will need another post by itself. Anyway, I feel that I have not challenged myself enough. So many plans and ideas but none of them is realized. But hey, you gotta start by dreaming right? hehehe... (another excuse). I'm close to 30 but I haven't even come close to be the person I wanna be, I thought I would have gotten married at 24, have 2 kids by now and be a successful entrepreneur. But I didn't regret about the marriage part, I'm thankful I have waited. I want to experience everything and live a life without regrets. I wanna be able to look back and say, you did good Vero and give myself a pat in the back.

I have a problem with finishing things, so with this new chapter I want to try to change that. I am gonna challenge myself more, probably by start writing more in this blog. Writing is a very difficult thing for me. It's very hard to put into words what I'm actually thinking. Let's hope I can do this.

Hello there

I now realize how important it is to write a blog or a diary of your life. There's so many things going on in our life, how can we possibly remember all of them. Reading my old entries in this blog, brings back so many good memories, of course the memories of life in Seattle. The things that I don't even remember happened... Little things.. but it is the little things that matter. And it's pretty entertaining to read what my younger self write and think about life.

Then I click on my photography blog, read the comments ... Erwin said that I should be his second shooter, don't know if he was just being nice or he was being real!! but I miss photography for sure now. Great, all I need is to buy a new DSLR hauhaua...

Sayonara 2009

A few days left in 2009. Need to start reflecting on what happened this year. A lot of interesting events and quite memorable also. It's been a good year and I hope 2010 will be kind to me :) my birthday will be 30-10-2010 huhuhu nice...

I've been procrastinating on doing my new years resolutions hehehe

The Sweetest Thing

Wow, it's been ages since I updated my blog. I'm watching The Sweetest Thing on trans tv, indonesian tv channel. Then there's this scene that I dont remember watching at all. I watched this movie in the cinema and on tbs multiple times. Well it turns out, they cut this scene on the theatres. It's pretty funny....

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFc9AumJXrQ

I cant believe that they show this scene on indonesian tv channel but cut it out on us cinemas and tv. Wow...

Found it!

Remember my post about the necklace that Hendy gave me, turns out it is still in the pouch. Doh! I didnt even remember that I have 2 boxes, so I was looking only in 1 box and thought that the necklace was supposed to be in there. I went ballistic when I didnt find it. Found it now :)

Nole

I've been watching a lot of us open games, since I have nothing else better to do. Besides, tennis players are hot!!! Marat Safin, Lleyton Hewitt, Andy Roddick, Roger Federer, anddddd Novak 'Nole' Djokovic. I just saw a match between Novak and Radek Stepanek, it was a great game. Longest game in the history of us open since 1979, it lasted for 4 hours and 44 minutes, 5 sets 6-7 (4), 7-6 (5), 5-7, 7-5, 7-6 (2). Just by looking at the scores, you can tell they played hard. They were entertaining also... so funny! Nole is a funny guy, I went to youtube and typed in his name. He does impressions of other tennis players such as roddick, nadal, and even sharapova, it's hillarious. There are locker rooms videos also which shows that he jokes around all the time. He's not that good looking but his personality makes him so adorable. Sigh...

Ink me

I'm a fan of Miami Ink on TLC and now there's a new series, LA Ink. She used to be in Miami Ink, moved back to LA and opened her own tattoo shop. I shouldnt be watching these shows, they make me want to get a tattoo real bad. You know what, I might get one before leaving Seattle, as a constant reminder of my lovely home here in the rainy city. Might be a cross with angel wings or scorpion, or something that reminds me of seattle (space needle hauuhha maybe not, coffee? rain? ferry boats?) Any suggestions? I think I'm going to get one for real. You guys know how bad I want it. Should I wait till I get married? hauhuahua

How to ...

I don't really like school but I enjoy learning new things. When I first started learning accounting, I was super excited and felt that I could do accounting foreverrrr but after a few months.... I'm sick of it. I get bored easily. I've been watching top chef and yes, I really want to go to culinary school. Got really interested in cooking because of Adam, and got into photography because of him too. Thought of going to culinary school instead of getting my acocunting certificate last year huehe... There are so much stuff that I want to learn!!! Photography, Cooking, Baking, Chinese, Korean, and Investing. This summer, I'm only taking 1 class so I will have time to do some cooking and baking hehe... Jin patisserie in LA is sooooo good and I want to bake cookies and cakes like that (yeah, in my dreams haha).

I have my one last accounting finals tomorrow at 2pm. Havent been studying at all today. I should have studied today and work tomorrow but I'm too lazy to study. I guess I'll just study tomorrow and not work at all. There goes my $32 boo hoo

Hungary

I love to eat
I live to eat
I'm starving
How long can I endure this pain
So hungry

Creative Japanese

Japanese people are smart and they are really creative too. I've always enjoyed their reality TV show, you know takeshi castle, tv champion, and the eating contest. The first clip that I'm gonna show you is a japanese toilet prank. It's pretty funny, you should watch it till the end because they do different stuff with the toilet, similar but different...



The second video is super duper funny, I laughed until I cried. The students can not laugh while watching the video of a japanese guy speaking english or else they will get spanked!!! This guy Kenzo, got spanked at least 5 times



*updated: I just found a link to the one with a subtitle :
with subtitle

So meannnn but hillariousssss

Ok, I just found more videos while posting this blog. It's the students again.

Spotlights

Seattlelites/Washingtonians have been on the reality TV spotlights lately. Bevin, one of the top 2 girls on The Bachelor is from washington state (seattle maybe?). Apolo Anton Ohno, who is also from Seattle, just won Dancing with the stars!!! I am sooooooo excited for Apolo. Then, Blake Lewis who is from Bothell is the finalist on American Idol. Both finalists, Blake and Jordin auditioned in Seattle. There is always a finale theme song every season and this season, the producer asked the viewers to write that song. And yeap, the songwriter winner is from Seattle. Niceeee....

Blame it on PMS

I have an exam tomorrow and I have not been studying when I'm supposed to. Well, I guess I dont have to study hauhauha... who cares about the grades right? I do actually .... :( I started reading the textbook right after I got back from school but I could hardly stay awake. So I turned on the TV, drank a cup of coffee, and after that, I got a headache!!! I can not concentrate at all now... I just wanna cry huaaaaaa, it's been a while since the last time I cried. And I blame it all on PMS, of course.... I know what I need now, I need to listen to some music and start singing so I can feel better. I wanna go dancing ... and this time I do not want to get wasted again.

Side job: Travel planner

How I hate planning for vacation, especially since I'm going to 3 different islands in hawaii. Which takes me back to 2005 when I planned a vacation trip to chicago, boston, san francisco and las vegas. It's so tiring to find the cheapest hotel with a good location, comparing which site should i buy it from. I know there's kayak.com but still, not all of the hotels are listed there. I still need to schedule the places that we need to visit, rent a car, reserve a trip since some of them are so popular that you need to book them at least a month before. It's easy to book them, the problem is to find the one that provides good economical value hahaha...

Spamalot

Monthy Python's Spamalot is coming to Seattle!!!! I am super excited but the problem is, it starts on October 10. I don't know if I will still be in Seattle at that time. Well, I guess I have to now hahaha... I've been wanting to see this show since it first came out, just like Wicked. Finally I saw Wicked last october and hopefully I will be able to see Spamalot this October hehe... By the way, there's a lot of artists performing this May, joss stone, john legend, my chemical romance, rent, etc...

Today is Thursday and usually it's my beer day hahahahahah.... but I had a slush ice on Ambrosia today. Man, I'm addicted to that, it's so goooodddd... Super fatty though :( Haiyaaa... jessbong introduced me to that slush ice and I'm hooked!!! So beer or no beer today?

Caffeinated

I am not sleepy at all.... I drank tea after dinner. Must not do that again!!! It's past midnight and i want to sleep but my eyes are wideeee open. I had cookies with my tea. It's almond thin and it's so good. I ate 10 of them and just blew up my diet. Im hungry again now hahaa... So bad.

I talked to my mom earlier today. She told me that one of my cousins is pregnant. It's a great news but not really because she has lupus. She had miscarriage a couple of years ago. It's very dangerous for her to be pregnant, it can be deadly. I told my mom that I couldnt believe that they tried that hard to have a baby, knowing that it can be deadly for her and the baby. I mean, she can lose her life. My mom said that her husband really wants to have a baby. Then somehow we went on talking about me and my kidney problem. She told me that it's better for me not to have kids. I told her that I really really want to have kids someday. I know that all of the doctors have told me that it's pretty risky for me to get pregnant but by the time I'm ready, you know, technology will be much advanced. I couldnt understand why my cousin is risking her life to have a baby and there I was, trying to convince my mom that it will be fine for me to have kids. I guess I can somehow understand my cousin's feelings now. I know that you can adopt but it's different. It's still a long way to go for me and I shouldn't be worrying about this but maybe I can do something now that will affect how it is will be in the future, such as living a healthier lifestyle. Urrghhh it's hard, especially the alcohol.... haha... Yes girls, I'm sure you all know, how much I adore those beers and shots hahahaha.... Wow, I didnt plan to blabber all this depressing stuff, must be the caffeine.

Mysterious

I had a dream last night. It was a really short dream but left a lasting impression. It started with me going for a job interview for an IE position. I guess I miss doing IE stuff so I dream about it ehehe. So the interviewer showed me around the factory and introduced me to some of the people there. One of them is him. He was standing on the side, smiling. I'm pretty sure he's an engineer as well, he's indonesian too. We talked (in indonesian) for a bit and I felt this strange feeling. A connection... But then I woke up, I was shocked probably... because he kissed me aahaha... It's weird... well it's a dream. Still though... who could that be. I wonder if I could ever meet him.

Sunday Morning

Sunday morning and the rain is not falling. Lately, the weather is always nice on Sundays, which sucks for me because I have a homework and quiz due at 9pm. I always start doing them after church... yessss call me a slacker! I can't help it haha... I dont like online classes. I always wake up pretty early on Sunday eventhough I slept at 4 am. Well, apparently my apartment walls are pretty thin. I could hear my neighbors talking or maybe it's the TV, I'm not sure. Anyway... I woke up this morning and my feet hurts, it's swollen a bit. Hahhaha which took me back to last night. Citra, hakim, and fani were sitting upstairs, I was at the bar but then Caroline went upstairs, so I followed her. Chit chat for a bit then I went back to the bar quickly because some of our friends are waiting there. Soooo when I was running down the stairs, I missed the last step!!!!! Oh my goshhh.... Luckily I fell on my knee instead on my face!!! When I got up, I saw these faces were looking at me. They're laughing and probably thought I was drunk hahaha... I grab one of their hands and just laughing with them *didnt know how to react exactly*. None of my friends saw this by the way.

Change to another topic. I am determined to lose weight and tone my body. I am going to use this blog as my food diary and hopefully it will help me realizing how much junk I eat. I know I mention this losing weight thing a lot but this time I will make sure that I am going to suffer!!! I have 2 months until my trip to hawaii. I wanna look good :( so friends... help mee yaaa hahaha

Pop Corn

I just gotta post this right away. Ok, I just got done with my exam. I was not concentrated at all!!! My stomach is growling the entire period of the exam. It's like a pop corn machine!!!!! It keeps making sound and won't stop huaaaaaaaaa. I was sooooo embarrassed. I was not hungry, I just ate. I did not know where the air was coming from.... hix... malu abis. You know when you're stomach is growling and then you try to stop it, so you tightened it but then when I do it, I just made it worst. There's this one time when the sound is enormously loud and long!!!!! Oh my gosh... shame shame

Funny and Cute

Really funny, the landlady is cute!!!

Oh no

Here I am, cleaning up my room on Friday night. It is so messy I can't stand it. So I was tidying my jewelry box when I realized that I lost a necklace that Hendy gave to me. It's from Tiffany's!!!! Huaaaaaa... I dont know if i misplaced it or what, but it is not in its jewelry bag. I couldnt even remember the last time I wore it. I'm sure I wore it in the club. Oh my my... I am so sad... Hopefully I can find it somewhere... Please please please.

Swirl... Smell... Sip...

I was doing my homework and chatting at the same time. I multitask quite well. In the middle of the conversation with my friend, he said that he wished he could be the indo guy who sips wine. I told him, what are you talking about? He gave me this link to this LA times article.
What a lavish lifestyle... he's only 30 by the way... This is his picture from the front angle. Comments please... I'd like to know what do you guys think. My first thought was this guy must be unique (I was going to use the word weird hehe). Well, I'm going to be LA in 3 weeks, maybe I should try to find him while I'm there. Maybe he'll treat us to some fine wines. How bout it girls? Should we put it in our schedule? HAHAHAHA

So Lame

My friend, Erwin, googled his name just for fun. Then he found this one blog that only has one topic which is about professionalism and that author is commenting on erwin's work relating to his photography business. Let me give you the link to erwin's blog, there's a link to that shitty RIOP blog. Erwin's blog. Read the comments on RIOP blog from Erwin's supporters hehe... I was thinking of ordering some t-shirts that says "TEAM EW" hahaa.... Erwin found out who that guy is, he's indonesian.... of course... that doesnt surprise me for some reason. What can narrow minded indonesians do? They can only bash other people's work to make themselves feel better. That guy used to live in Seattle, he lives in Vancouver now. He's a friend of my friends actually... He has a history of bashing other people's work including my other friend who is the founder of kaskus.com. Geez man, get a life. He even commented that Erwin's pic is not great. Hellooooo.... his pictures are ugly as shit. Damn, he makes me angry.

The Old Thicke

I like Thicke's new physical appearance, he's way sexier now, including his songs but I like his old songs better.

Robin Thicke

"First" heard his song on vh1, he's the featured artist for this month. I like it, R&B, soulful... So I read his bio. He's Alan Thicke's son, Alan thicke was in growing pains, he's the dad. I can see the similarities of the looks. I was more surprised when I found out he had an album before the current one and he used his last name as his artist name. I remembered Thicke!!! I went to amazon.com to check the song listing on his album and yesss it's the same Thicke that I loveeee.... I loveeeeeee his song, "when i get you alone". I thought Thicke was a band hahaha...

Unwell

My body is so weak, I can feel it. It started a week ago when I had a lot of ulcers/sariawan in my mouth. When it was getting better, a cold hit me. I'm coughing a lot and it hurts :( The last time I got a cold was in november which was 2 months ago. I've never ever been sick this often. Gotta love my body more, considering that I have one weak kidney. Gotta eat regularly, take vitamins, exercise, and drink water!

There's a new asian market opening in the oaktree area. It's called HT market. I went there last friday and it's not too bad. They have peavine! Pretty expensive, 99c for a small bag, but i dont care, I love peavine. I can eat it everyday. The market is not as complete as uwajimaya, they dont have shabu2 sauce. About the price, maybe they are cheaper than uwajimaya but probably around the same range. Uuhh I'm so hungry right now... Waiting for baby gap to pick me up... I've been craving for fort st. george for a while. Last time I went there was in the summer when adam was here. Wow, it was six months ago... I used to go there once a week with Hendy... No wonder I'm dying to go there.

MCR

I heard black parade by my chemical romance on the radio. I love the song, the beginning is pretty slow then it becomes upbeat. So I got their album and wow... it's amazing. My other favorite song is famous last words and I am so excited that it's their new single which means I'll be hearing that song a lot in the radio. Unfortunately I work in a place where they tune on 106.9 fm. They have good songs but i've been hearing the same songs over and over again. They dont really play the top 40 songs. Probably I can sing to some of the country songs that they play. Sometimes I just wanna scream if they play the song that I dont like and I've been hearing that song almost everyday, let's see, for the past 5 months. Thinking about it makes my head hurt, or maybe it's a signal for me to go to bed since it's currently 1:30 am and I am supposed to be in bed and snore like a pig. Hmm do pig snore? Or snoring sounds like how pig sounds? Anyway... hahahha... I think I really need to pay a visit to my lovely bed. Gosh I just realized, I just wasted 3 nights, I havent started my homework and I have a takehome exam. Huaaa this weekend is going to be super crazeeee

One other thing, I heard this song on the radio and didnt know who the singer is. So I forgot about it but then a week later, I heard it on the xm radio. I was so excited because now I know who the singer is since xm listed it. When I got home, I tried looking for the song and the singer but no luck so I forgot about it again. 1.5 months later, which is today, when I was hearing xm radio again in my car, I suddenly remember about this song and the singer but I couldnt recall the name of the singer. So I thought, oh well, hopefully I'll remember it someday because I really like the song. Guess what, I was browsing the tonight show website because I wanted to know who was performing on that show. On nbc schedule, they also show the guests for carson daly show and conan o brien. The singer that I've been looking for is performing on those 2 shows!!!! His name is Landon Pigg, I recognized it right away because his name is so unique ahhaa... So happy!!! Btw the name of the band that performed on Jay leno's was The bird and the bees.

Olympic Sculpture Park

I have found another reason to stay in Seattle... It's the olympic sculpture park hahaha... It is so beautiful. The park is not completely done yet but it is so gorgeous. I will post some pictures on my photo blog, meanwhile, check my friend's blog (click me) for the pictures. I went there on Saturday, the first day they opened for public. It was crowded and parking was a pain. We had to park in belltown area and walked for about 10 minutes to the park, while carrying our photography equipment. It was worth it though. I just love parks... I used to go to a park every single day (when I was unemployed and not taking classes). I am committed to manage my time better so I can go to olympic sculpture park every other week or even once a week. You guys should go to the park and experience it yourself. I only have 9 months left in Seattle, at most... I am going to make the most out of it. My goodness, I sounded like a dying people ahha... Huaaa I love Seattle too much... why wasnt the park built sooner ckckck...

Anyway, I'm supposed to be studying right now. I'm taking 3 accounting classes and getting sick of this subject hahahaha. Remind me again why I'm back in school? Oh yeah, because I dont want to leave this damn city!

Really?

There's a new indo kid working in the bookstore and we were kinda chit chatting with the others also. I told this new kid that I'm kinda old, well older than the other students who are working there in the bookstore. Jason asked him to guess my age. Guess what he said..... 30!!! My goodness... Really??? Do I look that old??? Perhaps he doesnt really know how to estimate age but still do I really look that old... Huaaaa... I always avoided that age question when talking to new people since I dont want to offend them or hurt their feeling heuhe....

Geez... Time flies... I'll be 24 this year... When I was in high school, I wanted to get married when I'm 24 or 25. I am so not ready to get married at this age. Well, you know as a high school student I wasnt really thinking it through. Talking about marriage, I gotta find My McDreamy first.

Should watch more news (part 2)

Continuing my post about watching more news. I need to watch more entertainment news alsoooo... About a week or so ago, I read news on yahoo.com about nicole richie having a DUI problem. Then they mention that she's dating Joel from Good Charlotte. Whoa, I was surprised. I thought he's dating Hillary Duff and never thought that they would break up! Hayden Panettiere is dating Steven from Laguna Beach. Josh holloway has an indo wife. I used to be so informative in these thing. Maybe I have a life now so I dont have time to read this stuff :P

Lost's Josh Holloway

My mom was reading Us weekly at QFC last night and I came across Josh Holloway's picture with his wife. I saw her name, it's Yessica Kumala. That's an indo name!!! I googled it this morning and yup she's an indonesian. I hope the source is reliable but still, that name is truly an indo name. Damn, he is such a hunk... She's cute too but huaaa I can't believe it. One of the hottest and sexiest guys on TV is married to an indonesian.

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everybody!!! Christmas is my favorite holiday especially if I'm celebrating it, well pretty much anywhere but Indo hahah... Luckily my parents are in town so I dont feel lonely. The worst thing about being single is feeling lonely during holidays. Seeing couple walking, holding hands, snuggling, under the decorated street lights while listening to christmas songs playing on the speaker, makes me wanna have a boyfriend hauhaa... Doh, I sound so pathetic right now. I am gaining weight due to excessive eating. My face is super chubby, and my stomach... err dont even get me started. As usual, my new year's resolution is to lose weight. I'm gonna have to starve myself, maybe starting mid January haha...

Should watch more news

My parents brought me some letters that UW sent to my indo home address. I was reading this engineering newsletter and was surprised to read news about the former dean of college of engineering, denice denton. Apparently she committed suicide... She was no longer at UW, she was working at a CA university. This is the link.

Scrambling around

It's been a while since I updated this blog. It's been crazy lately. Bought new car, had final exams, moved to a new apartment. Parents are coming in less than 12 hours. My apartment is still a mess, due to the 36 hours of power outage. I used flashlight to clean up my closet. You guys know my cubicle container/dresser right, I dont know what to call it. I spent the whole hour in the dark, trying to assemble that, I hate that thing so much hahaha... I gave up after that and just went to bed. The wind was blowing hard, there's a fallen tree near my gym, I should have taken pictures... it was still there last night haha... maybe I'll take some this afternoon if they haven't done anything to it yet. You know what I'm craving right now... yes, alcohol... hahahaha I could use some shots or maybe just a glass of wine, or a bottle of beer. Uuu I miss drinking beer, cold beer to be exact. Mmm...

I went to dictionary.com just now to check on some words and guess what, if you scroll down to the last section, they have word translation to other language. Indonesian was one of them. I think it's pretty neat hehe... go check it out, type some word and scroll down to the bottom and you'll see the indonesian word for that.

Xmen3 : the last standing ovation

It's funny... his movements are inexplicably erratic.... hahahhaha

My boys are BACCCKKK!!!

I am so happy right now! Seahawks just made my day. Alexander was awesome: 200 rushing yards, and Matt... what can I say, he is Matt! They are back for sure. It's so good to see them play together again. I missed them a lottttt... Let's go Seahawks!!!

Bitter:sweet

I'm sure all of you who watch grey's anatomy knows the song "The Mating Game". It's the song that Kelly dance to in her basement room when the chief walks in. It's used for commercial and yesterday I heard it in a retail store when I was trying on clothes. So I listened to their album. I like the vocalist's voice. The band is called Bitter:sweet.

Square

Should I run or should I walk slowly?
Should I scream out loud or should I cry quietly?

Maybe I should have taken that ferry boat to the other island, then I wouldn't have all these questions.

Seahawks

My home street address back in Jakarta is called Elang Laut street and if you translate that to English, it means SEAHAWKS!!!!! My brother just mentioned this to me a few days ago and I have never ever realized this. Living more than 5 years in Seattle and I've never thought about it. I am a fan of seattle seahawks now and it is so weirddddd... I guess I have always been a fan of the seahawks, well maybe my parents too because they were the one who bought the house haha...

Fat or Muscle

It's been a while since I visited my beloved mieko. I went there a couple of days ago. Headed to the scale after I was done working out. I lost 2 lb wohooo... I was happy that day but now I cant help but thinking, did I lose fat or muscle? Muscle is heavier than fat and I haven't been working out for a couple of months which means I could be losing muscle instead of fat, huaaaaa thus I'm not that estatic anymore.

I will start working out again (crossing my finger) to channel my anger which was caused by a certain individual. Hehe actually it's not an anger but I think it could be a good motivation for me. I planned to see a trainer this Friday morning but I forgot I have to work from 8 to 12 so I'm gonna have to postponed it. I want to have a body like samantha harris, the dancing with the stars host and E! news correspondent. I like her arms...

Speechless

I was watching indos music videos and came across this clip. I am speechless.

Welsh Corgi

For those of you who loves welsh corgi.



Cit, just look at the video so you dont have to waste your time circling magnuson park just to find the corgi haha...

Hillarious

As an England fan, I should be sad and ashamed about this but na ah... It is soooooo funny... especially the person who put this on youtube added some comments which makes it even funnier. If you look closer to the background, the ads on the board is for borat the movie. That borat guy aka Ali G, makes a living out of this kind of stuff. What a coincidence... Come on England, you can do better... Take that Steve McLaren! Now pick up the phone, call David Beckham and ask him to come back to the national team. Thank you.

Do the (RED) thing!

I just got back from u. village to shop at Banana Republic. I'm so close to reaching the luxe status so I shopped 'enough' to make sure I'm there. Then I decided to go to GAP, just to see what they have. I was surprised to see the display on the first floor. Some of the mannequins were shirtless and the clothes were interesting. As I went up the escalator, I could see a big red board. It's (RED)!!! I just heard about it this morning on TV.

"(RED) was created by Bono and Bobby Shriver, Chairman of DATA to raise awareness and money for The Global Fund by teaming up with the world's most iconic brands to produce (PRODUCT)RED branded products. A percentage of each (PRODUCT)RED product sold is given to The Global Fund. The money helps women and children affected by HIV/AIDS in Africa." See the website www.joinred.com, it's interesting....

Bono was on Oprah today to spread the news about RED. I'm catching the rerun in 30 min :) I bought one shirt, which is the Inspired one, just like the picture. There are bo(red), desi(red), and hamme(red). I like the desired color but umm... maybe not... and inspired is in 'red' so... Hihi I'm contributing something to help the people in Africa. By the way, is it me or Bono looks like Robert de Niro ever since he shortened his hair? Another cool thing I found at GAP was a picture book filled with celebrity pictures, posing for GAP commercial. It's nice...

Ah... it feels so good to shop.

Done!!! Next please

I just finished watching Spring Waltz... What a nice story, I like the ending, it's really sweet. I think the actors are great, especially the 2 main characters, since they didn't have any previous experience. I believe this is their first movie/series. The only times I cried always involved Daniel Henney character hahaha... Maybe he's just too adorable. He plays a guy who is so patiently waiting for this girl. He knows that she doesnt love him but he is always there for her, be her shoulder to cry on. I can feel his pain... hix hix... I like the ending even more because of this quote:

Love is like hide and seek
Although you can't see them, the heart beats frantically when near them
Therefore, there is no hide and seek forever
because eventually you will find one another

Which kept me thinking and wishing. Maybe... Just Maybe...

Korean guy of the month

Hihi... I'm gonna introduce my korean guy of the month hahaha... It's Daniel Henney. He's in Spring waltz. I guess I'm gonna be watching a lot of korean and taiwanese drama so bear with me. Daniel is charming and I love his voice. I found this commercial on youtube. He looks really good next to gwyneth paltrow hehe. The song in the first ad is my ringtone also... what a coincidence. While writing this blog, I just found out that Daniel Henney is dating Maggie Q. She was in mission impossible. I think she's HOT! Wow, what a beautiful couple.

I miss me

I'm missing my old me!!! I'm looking at my old pictures and I'm missing my skinny me. Oh how I wish I could just lose 5 lbs, I would be so happy. Even happier, if I could lose 10 lbs. I dont like my chubby face. I miss my flat tummy. I can't believe this is happening in only 1 year. My metabolism needs an energizer so that it can go as fast as the energizer bunny.

I need to start heading back to the gym. Being a slacker lately and not really proud of myself. Hopefully my manager will put out a fix work schedule for us so that I can manage my time better. I might need to start going to the gym early in the morning before my 8 am class hauhauuhahuaa... yeah like that will happen. Uu speaking of gym, I've been telling caroline that there's this petite asian girl in the kickboxing class that looks like indo. Guess what, that girl goes to NSCC, aha! She's not indo though. I've seen her a couple of times in the bookstore. I saw her again today and I was ringing her up so I asked if she works out at mieko. She said heidi (our kickboxing instructor) is tough, her moves are tough, especially the EXPLODE! hehe... I miss heidi :( I have class monday and wednesday night... Maybe i'll go to the class next year, as in January hix...

Thank God it's Friday...

I am tiredddd... both mentally and physically. Customers drained you out just like that. It's fun though... I enjoy it, most of the time hehe. When I was upfront at the cash register, this guy told me that I look familiar

The guy: You look familiar, did you go to franklin high school?
me: no, i didn't. Well, I do have a familiar face. *me sadly thinking that I look like a person that he knows. dang it... not again!*
The guy: *thinking* hmm... did you work for UPS?
me: Yes, I did!!! Were you a helper? *hell yeahhh... my face is not that familiar anyway hauhauauh yessss*
The guy: Yes I was.... bla bla bla
me: bla bla bla....(not important enough to be written here.)

Ok, that wasnt the exact conversation, but pretty much the same. He remembers me!!! I was shocked, it's almost a year and he still remembers me. Good memory! I didnt remember him though hahaha... Oh well, we trained at least 120 people. How do you expect me to remember everyone.

Important announcement

Hihi... I found berkin's friendster. It's actually by accident. It's on the first page, where it says 'people who live locally'. I was surprised when I saw his name hauuhaha... It's funny because we just talked about it at mike's place. I sent him a message also, asking how he's doing etc and all those BS stuff. He loves sex and the city... sigh...

I've got a crush on you

"Men always want to be a woman's first love - women like to be a man's last romance" - Oscar Wilde.

This is one of my favorite scenes from winter sonata. It's really cute. Btw I have a major crush on Bae Yong Joon!!! When I saw his pictures years ago, when winter sonata just played on TV, I thought that this guy looks ordinary. He is not that cute and kinda look old. I was confused why girls/ladies got all excited about him. After I saw the series, I understand why. I think the writers did a great job in making him so adorable hehe... He's the perfect guy that every women dreams of. I dont think there is such guy out there.

Too Funny !!!

I just gotta post this right away. I'm cracking up right now because of the comments people put on youtube on every episode of winter sonata. It is so hillarious!!! I always read the comments on every episode because people, including me, are getting all worked up because of this drama. These are a couple of the comments :

i hate sang hyuk!!!!!!!!!!!! he's such a cheap person,, he just wants yujin as a body and not her whole person,, he's trapping her again,,,, EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL,,,,that's what it was since he starved,,, yujin should have let him die,,, and joon sang is too good a person to make decisions for yujin,,,,

the emotional blackmail cracks me up... I've never heard of such term before hahaha...

another one:
OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG i wanna kill that sanhyuk. that f***ing bastard ...let me at him LET ME at him i haaaaaaaate him DIE BITCH DIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Money money money

I just checked my credit card balance. I spent $... (too embarassing to tell) during my 3 day shopping spree. It's crazy!!!! Well it did include the $130 facial but still, I spent way too much money. Hopefully I'll get more hours at the bookstore. I need to replenish my savings account. Shopping is the best therapy for me. Whenever I feel down or stressed out, I just go shopping ~ retail stores are my bestfriends. I guess it runs in the family.

Express sent me a letter saying that they will have a new express card where if we buy a certain amount of stuff, we will get points which can be redeemed later on. Wish they had that reward card last year when I spent a gazillion dollars at their store. Oohh.. btw I just need to spend $98 more this year at banana republic to qualify for the luxe card. You dont wanna know how much I've spent at that store. Months ago I wasn't sure I will be able to reach that limit but now... it's only $100 away hehehe... Gosh.. I gotta stop this... I need to start building my mini empire and saving money is the first step. After that, I need to invest some money but my parents won't let me invest in currency exchange or stocks/bonds. I guess it's too risky so I just go to the safest way possible which is put my money in CD. Thanks to caroline who introduced me to the online bank and help me save my money. And no, I won't give you comission for that lin... I know you will ask such thing hahaha... (peace) Udah ah, talking about money worries me. Hopefully Bae Yong Jun will be able to comfort me. Wakakakkaka..... ehem... hihi...

Three bear song

Expect me to post a lot of korean videos for the next few days. I'm just so into korean drama right now hehe... This scene is hillarious, I laughed my ass off the first time I saw it. Me, dea and citra even did the dance together in their fremont apartment.

Winter Sonata

My my my... I just found the whole series of winter sonata on youtube.... Bae Yong Jun is cute! especially in the early episodes of the series, when his hair is still short and not orange... This is bad... yesterday was Patrick Dempsey and today is Bae Yong Jun... Who will it be tomorrow?Sigh... I love looking at cute actors that have charisma...

Btw youtube really consumes a lot of my time. I can't stop browsing youtube and now I've found winter sonata... Huaaaa...

One order of McDreamy please

I'm watching grey's anatomy clips on youtube and I'm hooked. I can't stop watching McDreamy. He is so charming. The way Mcdreamy stares at Meredith makes my heart melt. I want a McDreamy of my own. I'll have a McDreamy with cheese and an order of fries... oh what the heck... I'll have the combo meal and make it supersize since he is so yummy....

I'm on my knees
Only memories are left for me to hold
Don't know how but I'll get by
Slowly pull myself together

There's no escape so keep me safe
This feels so unreal

Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it seems
Turn my grief to grace

I feel the cold
Loneliness unfold like from another world
Come what may I won't fade away
But I know I might change

Nothing comes easily
Fill this empty space
Nothing is like it was
Turn my grief to grace

Nothing comes easily
Where do I begin?
Nothing can bring me peace
I've lost everything
I just want to feel your embrace

'Grace' ~ Kate Havnevik

Ramalama clip

The so you think you can dance clip didn't work, apparently it has been removed from youtube so I uploaded a new clip. It's a live version of Ramalama by Roisin Murphy. The intro beat was not really obvious, I like the recording version better.

Little conversation

Feeding the homeless was an amazing experience for me. I didn't have a conversation with any of them though and I was kind of disappointed. I was a bit shy and mostly afraid to engage in a conversation. I'm sure they are great people but it's just I was afraid that I ended up offending them or said something stupid. "Would you like some juice/sauce over the rice?" That's mostly what I said to each of them the entire night... The lady that organizes this feeding is almost 80 years old but she looks like she's 65 or so. She looks so young!!! She's very friendly, energetic and faithful. She really is an inspiration. She's been doing this feeding ministry for 15 years now. They serve lunch and dinner, monday to thursday. It's a different group every time. Our church gets the opportunity to serve dinner the first Thursday every month. She has to turned down groups who want to help serve because the slots are full. She is an amazing woman and I was wowed with the stories she told.

I am very fortunate to live the life that I'm living. I am blessed to have great parents who love me, who work hard and sacrificed so much for me. But I am always on the receiving end. It's about time for me to go to the other end and start giving back. When I was living on greenlake area, I saw this old lady almost every day,she always wear this yellow tunic/jacket, sitting next to the stop sign near the I-5 entrance/exit. I always said to myself that next time I see her, I will give her some money but I kept saying that to myself and never put it to action. I feel guilty every time I see her... I know I could do something to help her but all I did was just driving past her. Months ago I saw her on pioneer square... I was quite surprised to see her in downtown area since she's usually in the north. She was sitting on the bench in front of the underground tour place, eating... I was with Adam at that time and when we were done with the underground tour, she was still there... I told Adam about how I always see her everyday. Then I remembered that I have a sunshine kit in my car. It's a ziploc bag with toothbrush, toothpaste, granola bars, shampoo, etc... basic hygiene necessity... I told him I wanted to give her a bag and the parking garage was not that far but as usual, when I got to the car, I just froze and decided to just leave and to not give her the kit. I hate myself for doing that. A week ago, Anissa and I were at the traffice light on 105th and aurora. Anissa noticed there's a lady who's walking towards our car holding a sign... Anissa said, oh we should give out the sunshine kit. I was in the passenger seat and when I was about to give the kit to the lady, I noticed that the lady is the same lady that I always see these past 3 years. It's the yellow jacket lady! When she received the kit, she said oh this is nice, thank you. I was so happy that it finally happened. I finally made contact with her. I really want to get to know her. I want to know her life stories... Maybe because I see her a lot, I just want to talk to her. Hopefully someday I will have the courage to approach her and have a little conversation.

Ramalama

I first heard the song "Ramalama (bang bang)" on so you think you can dance tv show. It's a weird song but I love it and the dance choreography by wade robson was awesome. Roisin Murphy sings that song and she was the lead singer of the band "Moloko". Their hit single was Bring it Back, which reminds me of my junior high school years... Ahh miss those days...

So, in my kickboxing class, the instructor use music remix. I don't know if she mixes them herself. It's pretty cool and very upbeat. I'm sure I've heard most of the remixes she use but today I just realize that Ramalama song was one of the songs in the remixes. It's not obvious though... it's only the beat... but I just recognized it today and I was smiling widely the whole time that remix was playing haha...

You don't see me

This is the place where I sit
This is the part where I love you too much
This is as hard as it gets
Cause I'm getting tired of pretending I'm tough
I'm here if you want me
I'm yours, you can hold me
I'm empty and achin' and tumblin' and breakin'

Cause you don't see me
And you don't need me
And you don't love me
The way I wish you would
The way I know you could

I dream a world where you understand
That I dream a million sleepless nights
Well I dream a fire when you're touching my hand
But it twists into smoke when I turn on the lights
I'm speechless and faded
It's too complicated
Is this how the book ends, Nothing but good friends?

This is the place in my heart
This is the place where I'm falling apart
Isn't this just where we met
And is this the last chance that I'll ever get
I wish I was lonely
Instead of just only
Crystal and see-through
And not enough to you

Single again

Gals, I'm officially single again now ehhe... Just broke up with Adam. We're still good friends of course. It's just long distance is not right for us. Might take me some time to adjust but I'll be fine so please don't ask me about him for the next few days. Too bad it did not work out. He's a great person... Sigh...

Love is not enough. Relationship is work (quoted from the movie prime) which requires both sides to participate. In my case, adam was not willing to work hard enough to maintain this relationship. He's got enough problems on his plate and I would just be a burden to him. He doesnt trust me which makes it hard if I hangout with my friends, especially guy friends. I shall learn from this experience. I think we both have had enough of long distance relationship. This is my third and his third LD relationship. Third time is the charm? Guess not... more like Strike Out

High Price of living healthy

I spent about 100 bucks yesterday at the supermarket... And that's just the cost of my breakfast hauahua... well, for the most part. I did buy some meat and chicken but still... living healthy is costly. Costly for the present time but you'll save more in the future by being healthy. Maybe eating junk food is cheaper but you'll pay for it when you get older. I crave junk food especially dick's burgers and fries... I don't eat it that often though. When hendy was still in Seattle, we eat out a lot and junk food was the closest and easiest place to go. Back then, my metabolism was superb and now it's getting slower and slower everyday. All the fat will go straight to my thigh, my tummy, my cheeks, well everywhere you can think of... The positive part is that my boobs are bigger. That's the only reason I like being fatter hahaha...

What a feeling!

I just got back from Tessa's (stan's sister) farewell party. Had some bbq skewers and I feel that I'm having panas dalem... umm not sure what the english word is... So the boys played poker and I joined them. This is the second time I play with them with real money... Last time I was in 4th place and guess what.... I won 1st place today hauhauha... I'm so excited... I'm the only girl and I beat 9 other guys and 3 guys buy in 2-3 times. The buy in is $10 and you get $1000 chips. So if you lost $1000, you can still buy in if there are still chips left. So the pot for today's poker was the biggest ever that they had. I guess I was pretty lucky... When I got 4th place last time, it was pretty annoying... if only I was patient enough, I would get maybe $10 at least... The chip leader beat me, eventhough I think I was the second chip leader... But today, I got revenged haha. I beat the guy who beat me last time huhuh... Everytime I won the round, my hand was shaking hahaha... I was so nervous... Well, it's bed time now. Gotta go to school tomorrow, helping some friends with some accounting problems.

Cake story part 3 (final)

Adam finally got the cake, after three attempts. The cake has gone bad... He said the shape is good but the smell isn't. I've known it would happen but I'm really sad now :( Oh well... no more cake for him...

Funny videos

I just watched the 9 on yahoo... and there's this one clip showing the marine got stuck in the mud. It's pretty funny.

If I told you

Who's that girl with the perfect future.
Her reflection says it all.
Trying hard to pretend she's eager.
Searching for some way to stall.
So unsure of the road she's chosen.
Faced with feelings her heart should not allow.
One thing's certain it seem that she just can't turn back now.
If she can, tell her now.

If I told you all the words I've yet to say

Would they matter? or would you simply turn and walk away?

Long Distance relationship sucks

LD SUCKS BIG TIME!!!! That's all I have to say... Sucky sucky sucky

Update on the cake

Ok, this morning, UPS delivered the cake to adam's apt, but adam was not at home soooo... 2nd attempt has to be made, not on monday, but on tuesday. You know why? Monday is a labor day... yayyy... And the annoying part was the driver was at adam's apt at 1035. Adam left home at 1025 to pick up the other package at UPS. Damn it... Bikin kesel ga sehhhhhh.... huaaaaa.... Udah ah... bodo de... enjoy the kue basi d

You disappoint me

Today is Adam's bday and I've prepared a little surprise for him... Except UPS ruined it!!!!!! huaaaa... How could they do this... I used to hate ups a lot but after working for them, I have a newfound respect for them. But now, I don't know if I can trust them again or not... I am so upset... I have 2 packages for Adam, the first one is a gift that I shipped from Seattle, and I think that one made it on time... I hope... and then there's a bday cake which I ordered from NY. I shipped it next day air since it's a cake, pay a lot of money to ship it next day air and to canada. I just tracked the package and it says that the package was left in the ups facility in louisville, ky so there's a delay.... Uuughhh... I quickly emailed my contact person at the cake store. I'm worried about the freshness of the cake, that's why they shipped it next day air but of course, some ups sorters decided to just leave the cake in the facility. I definitely want my money back, I paid freakin $40 just for shipping.

1 lb at a time

I ate a lot this weekend. I went to buca di beppo saturday night for stan's bday. I ate calamari tiramisu pizza pasta which translate to carbs carbs and CARBS!!! I went to the gym that morning and had indo food in the afternoon.

Ok, I'm going to go off the topic for a bit. I ordered bakwan malang for lunch but when it came, the server didnt tell us what it was so a friend of my friend thought it was her order. Her order was bihun baso. Everyone got their food except mine so I asked the server where my food was then she brought a bowl of bihun baso. So I realized the order got mixed up. I think it's the restaurant's fault to not mention the name of the dish when they brought it to the table. It's not a big deal though. Maybe they're too busy. My problem is the portion of the food... A bowl of bihun baso is $7 which is the same price as ayam goreng penyet. I think I only got like 5 baso and some bihun... I felt like eating air... Meanwhile, if I order their ayam goreng penyet, I got 2 gigantic pieces of chicken. Maybe baso is beef so it's more expensive but I just dont get it hahaha... For all I know, I won't order their bihun baso again hehe... I wish they have padang food... I loveeeee padang *drool drool*

Ok, back to topic haha... So last night I ate a lot of carbs and had some cakes. We finished the dinner pretty late, around 1030-11. Then this morning, I had all you can eat brunch at 9 am in the morning... Can u imagine that??? Big italian meal - sleep - All you can eat buffet. I'm becoming a PIG... huaaaa.... They didnt have the raw oysters, must be because of the food poisoning people been getting from eating raw oysters. Dang it... hehe...

When I got back home, I was so sleepy (didnt get enough sleep the night before). I almost took a nap but I dont want to be a big fat pig. Let me remind you again. Big italian meal - sleep - All you can eat buffet - nap? hmm... not a great idea. Instead, I surfed youtube and look at videos hehe... Hugh jackman is really entertaining and the so you think you can dance's dancers motivated me to drag my ass to the gym. I'm pretty sure I gained at least 2 lb this weekend, I didnt dare to go to the scale, it's just gonna bring me down. I'll wait till next week heheh... 1 lb at a time ver... 1lb at a time...

Healthier lifestyle

I'm determined to lose at least 5 lb by the end of the year. It's going to be hard but I think I'm able to do it. *crossing my finger* I'm going to try to go to the gym everyday, doing cardio, lifting weights, kickboxing, etc... I'm going to drink more water, eat more fibers. Wish me luck!!! I need all the support I can get. Hopefully I can have abs by next year hehe... I have to take it slow...

Matching

Months ago, a friend of mine (you know who you are) introduced me to an online matching service. I've known that service from the TV commercial but I didn't know that they offer free compatibility profile. Well, it's free and it doesn't hurt to try so I tried it just for fun. At the same time, I had just started chatting with Adam. And yes, I used e-harmony test to flirt with him. I told him to take the test too. He wasn't sure at first. You know guys are too lazy to do all these long tests but since he was flirting with me too, he did the test. I've only known him for a couple of days when this happened. So the next few days, we discussed our profile. We're moving FAST! Turns out we're both looking for the same type of person, or maybe the test is not that accurate, we can't say for sure. In my profile, it says that I want to have kids bla bla bla and then he said ooo... I love kids and kids love me... bla bla bla.... I thought wow... this guy doesn't waste time.

That's not the main point I'm writing this blog. Just for fun, I tried to find my match, just to see how many people will turn out. There's no match for me the first month heheh... so I just leave my settings the way it is, but now I get a new match every now and then. I just got a new one today too. Maybe I have a total of about 7 matches ahhaha... I just realized today that I can turn my match finding off. I've never had a match wanted to start communicating with me until today. I didn't put my picture on, I didn't finish my profile and I wrote it when I did the test and I just wanted to get the test done. So... my new match wanted to start communicating. I sent him a message telling him that I'm taking a break from looking for a match right now. I didn't write that though, the matching service gave us a list of reasonings why we want to close the matching connection and we can just pick one of it. One of my matches closed the connection and his reasoning was our physical features dont match.... Got rejected because of my height probably... He's 5'11" ... and I'm 5' lol... oh well... not like I care. I turned my match finding off since I've found my match in windsor ^-^ Come to think of it, that online matching service helped break the ice between me and adam. Funny indeed....

Rep from Indo - Miss Universe

You gotta see this... Adam's friend gave him a link to a video interview of the representative from indo for miss universe 2006. It's freakin hillarious... I know I'm mean... but it's just too funny!!! She's pretty though.
http://www.missuniverse.com/delegates/2006/files/ID-closeup.html

Watch out for these: "Indonesia is a beautiful city", "we have many beautiful bea-tches"
Let me know what you think.
Btw, miss universe will be broadcast next sunday, july 23. I'll definitely watch it

My cup of tea

I'm learning photography and i'm going to post more pictures but not until I get my SLR camera. This pic was taken with my sony camera. Not too bad eh...

I L-O-V-E Seattle!!! pic taken by Adam...

Last day of work

Juni 16, hari terakhir gua kerja di UPS. Udah 10 bulan gua kerja disono. Hari pertama gua 15 agustus. Gua seneng juga sih berhenti soalnya jujur aja gua uda mulai eneq ama time study (gua pake bahasa indo soalnya takut ada yg liat blog ini and ngerasa tersinggung ato apa, walaupun gua ga bakal tulis yg macem2 sih) hehe... Awal2nya sih fun ya time study tapi lama2, bosen banget soalnya monoton tapi untung supirnya beda2 sih. Hari terakhir gua kerja, gua datengnya jam 130 soalnya coworkers gua mo ajak gua minum2 jam 430 yaudah gua pikir gua dateng kerja siangan aja soalnya gua cuman ada 1 study buat reconcile. Trus bos gua telp gitu pas gua masi di ruma, nanyain gua kemana, koq ga dateng2 haha... bos gua lucu bgt, orgnya gampang stress, tapi dia baek banget sih. Trus sekitar jam 4-an, semua org IE pada ngumpul gitu di depan kantor, soalnya IE manager suruh semua org ngumpul... eh tau2nya mrk mo say farewell gitu ke gua, gua ampe kaget... soalnya gua cuman intern gitu lho... gua feel special sih... trus ie manager bilang gua udah done 68 studies. Nah, bos gua tuh sebelonnya tanya gua pernah done request studies ga, gua bilang gua pernah 1 di canyon park. Ternyata pas dia tanya itu, dia lagi itungin gua dah lakuin brp studies haha... kocak...

So yeah 68 studies di south seattle, everett, tukwila, canyon park, spokane (south, north, valley) and arlington. I've met hundreds of drivers. Sedih juga sih, orang2nya baek banget, cuman culture of the company nya aja yg gua kurang sreg. Gua dah belajar banyak banget sih terutama pas christmas season. Kelemahan gua kan public speaking and pas peak, kita disuruh train new helpers. Gua dah keringet dingin aja tuh, takut bgt ngomong di depan umum. Walaupun di tiap kelas gua masi gugup, at least gua bisa ngomong hehe... Trus coordinate helper ama driver, kalo pagi2 hectic bgt... nyari2in supir... telp2in helpers, seru bgt sih, adrenaline rush gt kalo pagi2 haha... tapi gua enjoy time study sih, walaupun seperti yg gua bilang di atas, udah bosen skrg hehe... Yang gua senengin dari kerjaan ini tuh gua bisa ketemu orang baru tiap hari... Supir2nya mostly baek2 banget... ada sih yg jutek tapi gua maklumin la soalnya apa yg gua lakuin ini kan menentukan gaji mrk gitu... Gua belajar banyak dari supir2, bukan tentang kerjaan tapi tentang life. Dengerin cerita2 mrk, pengalaman mereka, kehidupan mrk. I'm gonna miss that sih... Trus gua bisa travel ke kota2 yg gua ga bakal pegiin kalo bukan karena time study. Ngeliat rumah2 yg bagus, view yg magnificent, wild animals... Gua seneng bgt bisa ngeliat view tempat2 di washington state which make me even more in love with this state. I've seen a lot of houses with ocean view and I want one of those.... someday.... ^ ^

And sekarang, back to school lagi deee... I'm so excited though... Gonna be in the same college as my baby bro hehe... should be interesting...

World Cup Frenzy

I watched the world cup opening game between Germany and Costa Rica. It was a great game and I realized how much I miss watching soccer matches. Soccer is not that big in the states so I haven't been following the latest soccer news. It's weird how a lot of american kids play soccer but the sport itself is not popular professionally. I wonder why... So.. yeah... back to how I miss watching soccer hhehe... This morning I woke up at 7 am and watch the second half of england vs paraguay. When I caught a glimpse of david beckham, I was soooo excited. He is still oh so cute but when he talks he's not that cute. He has that cempreng voice, as indos would say. I hope England will continue to the second round. Although they're not that super, I still support them with all my heart just because beckham is there hehehe...

Today is UW commencement day for class of 2006. I can't believe it's been a year since I graduated. It feels just like yesterday we're all sitting in the stadium under the pouring rain. It was very annoying at that time but come to think of it, the raining commencement day was Seattle's way of reminding us graduates to never ever forget this beautiful city. Yeah sure Seattle rains a lot but the rain doesnt make this city ugly, it only makes it more memorable. Congrats class of 2006.

Another dilemma

I cant believe I'm faced with this dilemma. I've experienced it last year and it happens again. Should I go home or stay? If I go home, I have to leave the states by late August, which is in 3 months. I am so not ready for that. I am not ready to say goodbye to Seattle, which means I have to go back to school. I have 2 options: get a master's degree or get a certificate. Master's degree is 2 years with no break while certificate is 1 year but it's a certificate only and it's in college, it's not even a certificate that i want to take. Huaaa... I am very disappointed with city u. they decided to offer online classes for their graduate certificate which means international students are not elligible because to get the I20, I have to be in class. They're the only one who offers certificate in finance!!! It was all perfect before. I could go home at the beginning of next year, I have some basic knowledge about finane.

What I should do is probably go back home and help my parents. That way, I can save all my money that I've collected so far by working at UPS and my parents dont have to pay for my graduate school. What I want to do is stay in Seattle a bit longer, probably get my master's degree because it's only a year difference than a certificate. Then I can go back to jakarta this summer, get a new visa, pickup my lil bro, renew my passport and be happy. If adam decides to stay in canada, I can visit him also because I will have my visa. tututututu....

I hate goodbyes

My boyfriend went back to windsor yesterday, hehe still not used to calling him my bf. You know, we're a new couple, everything still look oh so sweet. Dont wanna be a pessimist but usually this happy happy feeling only last for 6 months ahhaa... but i think it depends on the person. we'll see how this goes. I am really happy now and it's weird because I hate long distance relationship. Based on past experience, I've never been successful in maintaining long distance relationship but I've changed a lot, more mature now. I'm willing to work hard to make this work.

He left me 2 notes in my room before he left. I found the first one, it was under my laptop. I've been searching for the second one but couldnt find it!!! I've asked for hints but still cant find it and he wont let me know where it is... Sigh... A bit annoyed right now cause i've searched all over the place. My room is a total mess hhehe... as usual... Huaaa i miss him... hix hix....

How Bizarre

This week has been very interesting for me so far... On Monday, in Spokane, I almost burned down the hotel ahha... In the hotel, they serve cookies and I loooveee their white chocolate chip cookie... it's really really good. So, after dinner, I took 3 cookies from the lobby and brought it to my room. Then when I was watching TV, I decided to re-heat my cookie in the microwave. The microwave is a bit old school so the timer is not digital. I dont remember how long did i set the timer for. I just left it there but then I smell something burning... and huaaaaaaa smoke was coming out of the microwave. There's a fire detector right above the microwave too.. I opened the door and tried to let the smoke out and I was praying so that it wouldnt ring but too lateeeee.... the bell was so loud and everyone came out of their room. hix hix... I said sorry to them though. the hotel manager called me the cookie burner gal... great... The room was so smelly alsoooo... it happened on monday and I had to stay there till Thursday... so you can imagine my suffering... I hope they didnt charge me for messing up with the alarm and for making the room smell like burnt cookie haha...

Then, on Wednesday, which is yesterday, when I was still doing time study, my nose was bleeding!!!! It was pretty hot in Spokane and the city is very dry, not humid like Seattle. So i think I was dehydrated. My hands were all covered with blood, I asked the driver to get me my jacket from the back because i want to get my tissue, but then I remembered i put softex in the same pocket as the tissue, I didnt want the driver to dig through the pocket and found it!!! I quickly grab the jacket and get the tissue ahhaha... I was kinda rough when grabbing the jacket from his hand, hopefully he didnt think that I was jutek haha...

the same day, the guy that I'm kinda closed to, decided not to come to Seattle. well, he's still debating whether or not he should come here. Plin plan bgt! Very annoying sometimes. I just hope it's gonna get better this weekend.

I just saw Pussycat dolls new video "buttons" on yahoo music. The vocalist is super hottt... I love her... Too bad I cant watch their concert :( they're performing in Spokane too but I dont wanna go there alone, I'm sure none of my coworkers want to see them or Black eyed peas. I know one driver that's going there but they've bought the tickets already. Speaking of hot girls, Nicole Kidman is super hot in The interpreter. Nicole kidmand and the PCD vocalist (nicole schlezinger) make me wants to become a lesbian ahhaha.... and they're both have the same nameeeee hauhuahuaa..... funny.

You dont know me

You give your hand to me
Then you say helloI can hardly speak
My heart is beating so
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well
But you don't know me

You don't know me by Michael Buble. I like this song eversince I watch last Monday's How I met your mother. I love that sitcom, it's so funny and refreshing. This particular episode was very romantic also... ahh cant wait to see the next episode. My last blog entry was in november, and now it's the end of january... wow... havent had the time to update my blog. Been busy with work and setting up my new place. I cant believe how hard it is for me to be organized. It's just my nature to be messy ahaha... Everytime I look at my room, I get so frustrated but then I do nothing. Whenever I start cleaning up my room, I get distracted with the computer. I tried turning off the computer but I need music and radio has too many commercials. bohooo... Slowly but sure... I know I can change and be more organized!!! Speaking of cleaning up my room, writing this blog is also a distraction. I still have laundry on my bed - waiting to be folded, but what do i do now... Yup, I write a blog... and Im getting sleepy too... This weekend I did nothing, just being lazy and daydreaming about stuff heuhue...

There's this one guy that I dont really know that well but I cant seem to keep him off my mind. I dont talk to him that much, I rarely see him, but there's always things that reminds me of him. Ok, I thought maybe it was only just a crush, never see him again for about 1-2 weeks or so. Just when I thought I have no feelings for him what-so-ever, I saw him and there's butterfly in my stomach. I didnt even say hi to him, I just passed by him. Gosh, what an Idiot!!! 2 more weeks passed by and once again I was sure it was only just a stupid crush but then somebody mention his name in front of me. There's always something that reminds me of him... aahhh... I think I've changed. I used to be very aggressive when it comes to guys. If I like that guy, I would make a move right away, but not anymore... I'm shy now haha... Maybe I forgot how to do it hehe... been single for almost a year now, wow... time flies... I guess I'm used to being alone now... Feels empty sometimes but I havent found that somebody, I havent found my Mr. Right
Why do I keep thinking about guys? Haih... what a waste of time right hehe...
I guess I better get back to cleaning up my room or... go to bed

Shopaholic

I think I consider myself as a shopaholic or maybe Shopaholic in the making haha... I go shopping every week. It's getting worse but I love it though. I think shopping help me go through my problems. Whenever I have a lot of things in my mind or whenever I'm stressed out, I just go shopping. After that, I just feel more relaxed although my wallet becomes tighter ahha... What am I supposed to do? It's in the gene hauhaa... Yeah, that's the easiest thing, just blame your parents. Well, they do love shopping. Shopping is funnnn.... I love going shopping alone or with my mom coz I can take my time. Makes me wanna go shopping again tomorrow. Lately I've been going to express all the time and shopping on work clothes. I need to go to other stores!!! I really wanna go to urban outfitters, I always get their email every week and I've been "window shopping" from the internet every week. Havent had a chance to go to the stores and browse. Hopefully I'll have time tomorrow, maybe i should go straight from work.

Haih... Life is interesting!!! Right now I'm typing this blog on my laptop. Feeling a bit like carrie, minus the wine and smoke. I just bought 3 bottles of wine and only spent $13 heuhe... cheapo! I went to a ghetto supermarket hehe... it's a great deal though. Should i open a bottle?
I'm watching ellen degeneres show right now... She's so funny. I really love her talk show. I'm just rambling and talking with no topics at all. Oh well, who cares, this is my blog, I can do whatever I want right? hihi...

Music Album

I just remember about this. My dad told me about this before but I just noticed it again. Do you guys notice that in the music CD, usually the single or the famous song is placed on track 1 or track 3. I just checked my albums and most of the singers put their first single on track 1 or track 3. Ok, it makes sense to put it on track 1 because listeners would want to hear it right away when they play the CD or cassette. But why no 3 though... hmmm...

4 wonderful years!

Exactly 4 years ago, on this date, I came to Seattle with mixed feelings. I was scared, excited, sad, happy, and lonely. I can't believe how much I've grown and how much I've learned. 4 years gone by really really fast... ckckck... I have a lot of memories scattered all over Seattle. I still remember the first day I step foot in Seattle. I thought, hmm... the airport was crappy. I was kinda disappointed because I was expecting the airport to be nice and elegant. After all, it's america!!! So I thought, oh damn.. the airport is like this... What will the city be like... Well, I wasnt feeling disappointed anymore after I drove by downtown... Seattle is gorgeous, with the Space needle, the water, the mountain... I fell in love right away :) Luckily Sea-Tac airport was renovated, it's all pretty now haha... well, it's still in progress but still, it's a LOT better than 4 years ago. I think of Seattle as my hometown now ^-^ Happy 4th anniversary of me being here :P

Just like Heaven

Just came back from watching Just like Heaven. I know it's a cliche romantic comedy type of movie but i just loveeee that kind of movie. That's why it's called chick flick - girls love to watch silly romantic comedy movie that makes them dreamed of having been in that situation. Well I'm one of them ahhaa... and it's pretty hard to watch chick flick when you're single. Makes me wanna be like the leading role and experience the fun-romantic life. But being single is not too bad. I'm actually enjoying it. It's nice to have a space of your own. I like being alone lately, don't know why... I like to just chill at home, watch tv or dvd and read books. I read book every night before I go to bed and I love it. A couple of months ago, when I was still unemployed, I like to go to the park and read books. Sat on a bench in gasworks park, watched the view of downtown seattle plus lake union... I hope I got it right, I'm still kinda confused with lake union and lake washington... dunno which one is which... but I think I got it right this time ahhaa... Oh how I love this city ^ ^

Speaking of Just like heaven, Mark Ruffalo is so cute in the movie... He's adorable... I just wanna squeeze him. I wanna watch that movie again... It's so entertaining and Reese witherspoon is a doll... Her acting was so good.

I better start getting ready to go to bed... I'm helping citra moving into her new apartment. Should be fun... Don't treat us like slave yaaa hahaha... I think we get free dinner and a movie lol... just kidding gurl... hmmm now I want some ice cream... yummy banana ice cream...
Im going to the gym tomorrow so what the heck, Ice cream at nite is so yummy

Gotta make up my mind!

I have a lot of things in my mind right now. Can't seem to figure things out. Aarrghhh... I wish i can just press an easy button like in the Staples ad. and everything will be solved. Well these challenges and obstacles make life more interesting, aren't they? I just cant stand the feeling when I dont know exactly what to do. I feel so lost right now...

My mom text messaged me a couple of days ago, asking me if i got a job yet. Well, I told her that I'm still looking and so far, there's no job offer. She said my dad's company is very busy right now. If I havent gotten a job yet, why not go home and help them. She doesnt want to force me to go back but just to let me know that they could use a hand. I'm torn... I dont wanna leave Seattle, I really love this city but on the other hand, I'm doing nothing here and I'm so bored. If I go back to Jakarta, I can help my dad which is my dream since I was in junior high but I want to have some experience first before helping my dad. I'm just gonna wait till December. If there's no job offer until that time, I will leave Seattle for good. Huaaaa.. just thinking about that makes me sad.
Aja aja Fighting!!!! Lol, I'm so corny...

Spacelabs design team rulez

My senior design team won the first place for the senior design project competition and we won $1000. Out of ten groups and we were the first one. So excited!!! I'm really proud of our team, we worked hard and we're really close to each other too. Since there are 10 groups this year, so there are 5 winners. fifth place went to Amgen, fourth place to everett shipyard, third place went to KSF which is Anissa's group and second place went to Starbucks 1, which is Citra and Edu's group. Indo rulez haha... I must say we were the best dressed group haha.. We wore suit and looked professional hahaa... We know that we will be in top 3, at least top 5 but when Prof. Storch start mentioning the name of the winners starting from fifth place, my heart was pounding really fast. Couldn't really think clearly hehe... The four of us just holding each other and when they mention the second place winner, I started to lose hope hahah... but thennnnn... he said the winner is Spacelabs... I was jumping around and the group hudled hahaha... priceless moment.... I should have video taped that... oh well... I have it all in my mind anyways... Another priceless moment was anissa's reaction when her group got third place, she was sooo shocked, it was so funny!!! Things happen when least expected. I still can't believe that our group won first place. Such an honor because all of the other groups did a great job, tough competition too...

So we celebrate at Tia lou's later that night... A lot of IEs showed up and it was fun... The place was jammed packed though, so hot... but they have an outside deck which is nice... I only drank 1 apple martini but I was drunk, it was strong compared to the bada's. Ok, I have to start cleaning my room and my apt. My parents are coming this monday and I need to do a lot of cleaning... ^^

2 school days left

Wow... 4 years have gone by extremely fast!!!! This Friday will be the very last school day for me and we will be presenting our poster for the senior design project. I'm pretty excited but sad at the same time. I'm surely gonna miss my IE friends. They are all cool people and it's fun to hang out in the IE lab and talk to them about random stuff. Hopefully we can all have fun at the club again this Friday. At this point, I dont really care about winning the senior design project. I'm happy that we've finished it and I learned quite a lot from this project. My team members are awesome too... Never knew that I could become so close with them (blink) hahaha... Thankfully I didnt decide to go back straight home after graduation. Thanks to all my friends who convinced me to stay here at the state. I'm just so blessed to have a chance to go to Seattle to get my bachelor's degree. I've grown so much in the past 4 years. Learn to be independent, meeting new people, making new friends, adapting to the culture, etc. Uu I better take a shower, I'm going to the hair salon at 11 hihi... I just love going to salon, I love pampering myself ahha.. Especially in indo, where I can get manicure and pedicure for really cheap. Oh and creambath too hahaha....

Sad Moment

Seattle Supersonics lost the second round of playoff to San Antonio Spurs (96-98). It was a great game though. Sonics did their best but it's just not their time to win the ring. Aargghh I am so sad... I was crying after they lost. We could never see this team again next year. The coach, nate mcmillan might be gone and Ray Allen, my hero, might be gone too because Sonics doesnt have the money to sign them for next season. That's why I am so sad right now. If they have the money to renew the contract for the entire free agent players in sonics' team, I would not be this sad. I can count on them to win it next year. Unfortunately, that might not happen. Oh Howard Schultz please sign Ray Allen and McMillan pleaseeee.... oh and other free agent players too hehe...
All we can do now is wait for the news and pray!!! Hix hix hix so sad.... Seattle Supersonics, in my heart you guys are still the winners. Love you all!!!!

Sports and Life

I missed American idol yesterday because I watched the sonics game. Although we lost, I still believe in sonics and I hope they can win game 6 @ home. I really want Sonics to win... I was so down yesterday. It's funny how we can get so emotionally involved with sports. Well sports is some sort of entertainment... but you can get very sad when your favorite team lost or you can be so psyched when they win, eventhough you dont really "know" them hehe... And what's in it for you when they win? For some people, maybe they bet, so they want them to win for money. For me personally, sometimes I look up to them, I see them as an idol and I want them to win because it sort of gives me an encouragement. They win a game and beat the other team, well that gives me encouragement to do well in life. You have to beat those obstacles and reach for your goal. I know it's a bit corny haha... I used to like David beckham a lot and I am so amazed with his determination in reaching what he wants. After the world cup incident with Argentina, he was boo-ed wherever he played and he did not give up, he gave all his best to his fans although his fans mocked him. Finally, he's able to prove to the fans that he's still the best (sort of haha). It is ok if you messed up once in a while. Nobody is perfect anyway. You just have to get back on your feet and fix that problem. You have to prove to the world that you're capable of being the best.

Sports/games really reflects life. You have to beat your opponents to win (you'll have to face challenges in order to get what you want in life); Sometimes you lose, and sometimes you win (in life, you don't always get what you want, sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down); You need to communicate with your teammate/coach in order to win (you need to communicate with your parents/friends/co-worker/spouse); You need fans to support you (you need your friends and family to support you in what u do), etc etc...

Extreme makeover

I saw 2 extreme makeover show today and I cried on both show haha... I'm such a cry baby but the story was so touching!!! The first one is the extreme makeover home edition, there's this firefighter who saved a paramedic's life. The paramedic got shot and the firefighter risk his life to save her by rushing to her side eventhough the shooter still shooting around that area. I cried when the paramedic told that story, well she was crying while telling the story and that's why I sort of cried too... The house is so prettyyy and the rooms are so cool especially the girl's room. She has her own private spa ahh so nice....

And the second extreme makeover show is the wedding edition. This guy is a cancer survivor for 4 times now, what a strong guy and now he needs a heart transplant because chemotherapy ruins his heart. So he can't afford to pay for the wedding. He met his girlfriend, which is his wife now, at a fundraising event for cancer people. He's the key speaker for that event and I'm not sure what did she do, maybe she's the event organizer (not sure). Ok, so they met there and the relationship grew from there. I'm so amazed with them. The girl knows that this guy is sick and maybe doesnt have much time left but she still wants to marry him and be by his side. he doesnt have a job because of his sickness, he can't support the family but the girl doesn't care. That is true love my friend ^ ^ I once thought that if I ever be in that situation, I also don't care and still want to marry my bf. But then, I had this talk with hendy about this what if situation and I started to question my thought. It's easy to say that you're still going to marry that guy eventhough he doesn't have much time left but if you're really in that position, will you still be able to do that though? Talk is easy... Personally, I don't know if I can handle that pressure and knowing that your bf might die anytime and you're gonna be left alone broken hearted. Wow.... that's too much for me to bear, at least for now... What do you guys think? Any comments?

It's not really over hahha

Ok, in my previous post I said that my relationship with my bf is over but I was just thinking that it's not really over yet. I'm still hopeful that we can go back together hehee... I'm still in love with him and we broke up because of situation and not because of our feelings for each other. We still care so much for each other. As a farewell gift, I gave him a memory book filled with our pictures for the last 3 years that we've known each other. I have all the captions for each of the pictures and after he finished looking at all of the pictures he said that at the last page I should add "to be continued..." Meaning that there are gonna be more memory books filled with our pictures for many years ahead... God knows till when ehhee... Sooo I'm still hopeful... If it's meant to be then it's meant to be.

Huaaaa I miss him so much... I said something bad about him to my friends and that made me feel so awful... Why did I have to say such negative thing? Nobody is perfect.... I'm not perfect.... I have done many bad stuff too and he never reminded me of any of that. I thought that by saying bad stuff about him, I can feel more relief and not feeling sad that I've broken up with him. But I was wrong... I feel even worse than before...

Kisah Kita tlah usai

Ello- Kisah kita tlah usai

Perpisahan mu denganku

Tak pernah aku inginkan


Namun tetap aku yakin ini yang terbaik

Reff:
Mungkin kisah kita tlah usai

Tak demikian cintaku

Berakhir memang tlah berakhir


Namun kutetap bersyukur

Lupakan saja diriku

Melangkahlah jangan kau sedih

Aku mengerti sungguh berat dan tak mudah

Bridge:
Cintaku kan selalu tetap utuh padamu

Walau berpisah namun hatiku bersama mu

I love this song. The lyrics fit perfectly with me. I downloaded this song the day I broke up with my boo :) Then I listened to this song while looking at our pictures. Pretty sad moment but I have to move on. Everything happens for a reason....

Sonics is so superrrrr

Lol my title is pretty corny... but I dont care... Sonics rocks!!! I just got back from my first ever playoff game and I had a blast... Sonics won 105-93 to SUCKramento... Haha I stole this term from Stanley... But yes Kings suck especially the starters. The bench players played better than the starters., well that's what I thought. Well if they suck, it's an advantage for us hihi... Can't wait to see the next game. I have to give props to Jerome James, he becomes a very valuable assets to Sonics... He contributed a lot these past 2 games. We were sitted on the very last row on the 200 level seats but it was so much funnn... I could stand whenever I want and the view was not that bad.

Tips for stressed out people: If you're having a bad day or a bad week, just like I did hahaha... go to Sonics game and screammmmmm or yell as loud as you can... It will make you feel better. It made me feel better and made me forgot about things that stresses me out. Oh what a fun night! I love Sonicsss... Thank you Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis, Vladi Radmanovic, Jerome James, Luke Ridnour, Antonio Daniels, Danny Fortson, Nick Collison, Reggie Evans, and Damien Wilkins for making my day... Yayyyy

In love with Nicole Kidman

I just watched the interpreter and I am sooo in love with nicole kidman right now. I'm exaggerating a lil bit hahaha... But she is so pretty and I just love how she looks in that movie. Me and Citra are crazy about her right now ahha... We are like two little girls who are talking about boys but we're talking about nicole kidman instead. I even have her picture on my desktop wallpaper. So silly haha...

David benoit rocks!

I just got back from jazz alley. David benoit was so cool. We even took a picture with him ahhaha... and I was standing next to him. I really enjoyed his performance. He was soo funny... He played all these theme song from movies such as james bond, mission impossible and even austin powers... hahha... Of course it was all improvising. And I love his songs now... It's so much better than the one you heard on the album because he improvise it on stage and I love to hear people being creative and just having fun with it. I wanna see his performance again!!!

Jazz alley has this dessert called pear crumbs and I really really like it. So I was so excited when I ordered them and can't wait to eat it. But then, the waitress came back and told us that they're out of pear crumbs. I was soooooo disappointed... so I ordered truffle ganache tart, it's a semi sweet chocolate cake and it was good too but not as good as the pear crumbs... I ate a lot lately.... my senior design team members were surprised to see me eat that much. I often have lunch with them so they know how much I eat. Well, I'm kinda small so they thought that I don't eat that much but... they're wrong!!!!! I eat everything and a lot of them too.... I should watch my figure now before it's too late. My metabolism is not as good as 4 years ago... I realize that I have a tummy now ahhaha... But I'm so lazy when it comes to exercise soooo I bought this striptease exercise video by carmen electra. Hopefully it will motivate me to exercise more. Me and the girls are gonna meet a couple of times a week to do this exercise together wohooo... We dont have a pole though ahhaha... maybe we can use a standing lamp hauhaua... that's so lame... Hmm... I wanna eat strawberry now...

What a nice day

The sun is shining, the sky is blue, the wind is blowing... It's such a nice today but it's getting hot in herreee.... Can't imagine the temperature in summer. I just watched this northwest afternoon show and Giada de laurentiis was on the show. She is so cute and I loveee her recipes. They are so easy to make and I just bought her cookbook hehe... I think I like Italian food ever since I visit Italy. Now, I cook Italian food most of the time. And there's this one muscular guy on that northwest afternoon show. I check his website musclegourmet.com. I read his bio and was surprised. He graduated from UW with a degree in biochem and microbiology but then he went to culinary school. Now, he's a cook... a muscular one I believe... I think it's more common now that people have careers that are not related to what they are studying in college. Maybe they found their passion in other field when they were in college, just like this muscle gourmet guy. I know for sure that I'm going to have a career in manufacturing industry so I won't waste my parents' money studying IE. Unless I become a housewife.. :( That's a career which I don't wanna think about right now. I won't get married that soon so I'll concentrate on improving my father's business.

New look

I've decided to change my blog style. Pink is a bit too girly for me although I love pink color. But black is co much cooler hehe... So it's been over a week since my boyfriend went back to Jakarta. I miss him so much! Hopefully he can get a job pretty soon so by the time I'm back in indo, we can hang out. Love u hend!!! Good luck finding a job... Dunno if you're gonna read this blog or not... Well just in case u read it... You can do it babe!!

I'm pretty tired these couple of days, doing senior design stuff... I need to do a lot of calculation, luckily we have excel... we just need to type in the equation and yay... it's done. Oh and I also have to arrange this mini tour accross US for my parents. I need to book hotel, book plane tickets, book tickets for shows in vegas, find out where to go, etc... A lot of stuff needs to be done and my parents are still in the waiting list from taipei to seattle... so yeah, I have to wait for their confirmation.

I've noticed for quite some time that some people who wants to flip pages of their book, they put their fingers on their tongue so it's wet because of saliva and use it to flip the pages. I just thought it's kinda gross. Ok, first, your fingers are not always clean but u put it on your tongue and saliva smells!! then u use saliva to flip the pages which means your book smells too...I had a music teacher once who use her saliva to clean the transparency. It's pretty gross but it's efficient though haha... well she could just bring a glass of water and use it to clean the transparency but maybe this is her style of teaching...

Messed up!!!

Ok, So I just had my first "real job" interview ever... It sucks! I sucked!!! The guys was so nice.. ihiks2... and he told me that a lot of people want the position. I believe I won't get it. He asked technical stuff about design of experiment and x bar R chart but... huaaaaaaa.... I didn't know how to answer it... doh!!! Should have studied more... oh well, at least I got the interview experience. But starbucks sounds so fun though, especially the roasting plant in kent. He told me all this stuff about the manufacturing system, well actually I asked him about that and it sounds so cool. I was hoping I could learn stuff from them and applied it to my father's company in indo...
Bohooo it's all over now for starbucks. This is only for internship.... Most definitely I will not get the full time position too... oh well, time to move on. I have to study more then... or concentrate on my senior design project. I want my mummy.... :( hahahahha
