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....

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.
