i went to grocery store yesterday and i was looking for a chocolate milk in the dairy section, but there was nothing that looked yummeeh, cuma ada nesquik and hershey chocolate milk, and then i said to my self.."coba ada susu ultra coklat disini yaaaah...". And you know what??...i went to global food this afternoon, and to my surprise, i found the susu ultra coklat that i was talking about in the indonesian aisle.....omg, i've never imagined in my wildest dream that they would have it there...soalnya emang udah sering kesana tapi nggak pernah ada....waahh seneng banget deh, ya udah langsung aja di borong...it's my all time fave milk. Udah tambah banyak aja makanan indonesia nya di global food, minuman2nya juga banyak, ada teh sosro kotak, ada teh kotak *yg bungkusnya warna coklat*, ada buavita lychee, sirsak, jambu...ada sari kacang ijo, ada minuman sari asem segala...huehe...i felt like i was inside a hero supermarket for a second there..
Anyway, i've jot down a to do list for today but nothing was accomplished. First I planned to go to platoscloset to sell out some of the stuff that i hardly wear, but i got there right when they just locked the door. Second, I planned to find the location of my new office, but i didn't write down the complete direction so we couldn't find it.. gotta go find it again tomorrow otherwise i'd come late on monday. The location is in an area called The Hills, not far from downtown, it's actually the little italy in here so italian flags are everywhere and italian rest. are in every corner. The third unaccomplished thing is I couldn't manage to go to the gym today...arggh, tomorrow is definitely a must, no excuse!!!.
I had an interview this afternoon..*thank you nduti for waiting in the car di siang bolong in the crazy summer for a full 2 hours...=)* . I thought i screwed up my interview hmm, but i must've done quite a good job..cause she told me to have a second interview right away. I noticed some candidates were sent home right after their first interview....so let's see if they're gonna offer me the job or not.
Oh by the way, remember that my right palm felt so itchy yesterday??...ternyata...i received my deposit back from ambassador hall...and it's a full refund..*woohooo* Just what i needed...
i'm goin to a fine dinin' after this...finally.....*mind you, i've been eating popeyes chicken for 5 days in a row*..so i'd be really appreciate a fine meal for tonite. Anyway, sheila called and assigned me a job which starts on monday, well actually i was assigned for a job last monday and tuesday which was supposed to last for a month, but something went wrong and she said that i didn't have to go back there and just wait for the next one. The new one is only part time though, that's good enough for me cause i still have a bunch of stuff to do next week. But the thing is, that means i have to work next friday..ugh that's a bummer cause it's gonna be harpitnas.
Don't know what else to do for this weekend, but i need to get my lazy ass back in the gym again for sure. I've re-newed my membership today, it's been two weeks since the last time i went there, i've been using my friggin' twist board and dumbell at home instead. My right palm been so itchy today, it's usually a sign that i will receive some money but who in the world is gonna give me money now??..hmm..interesting! Anyway, just want to give a shout out for atid and aan yang udah jadi AE and PA...you go girls...success is on your way.....
It was an emotional moment, full of tears of joy, lotsa proud looking moms and dads and family in the Madison square garden last night. So happy to see Caron Butler and Juan Dixon up there, shaking hands with David Stern..believe it or not… I was almost in tears..*huhu, emang kerjaannya terharu mlulu*. Don't know..i guess I just have so much respect for people who can finally achieved their dreams despite all of the problems they have gone through and stand back up after experiencing the lowest level of life. These two players were people with intense personal anguish and they are able to make it as a motivation to reach for the stars.
When he was a teenager, Caron Butler was a thug wannabe, carrying around drugs and gun and ended up in prison. Most of his gangs were shot and killed, he was the one left with a chance to do something about his life and he took his chance. His dad left him when he was 3 years old. He has two kids now, his 6 years old girl was injured in a car accident. That’s why re really needs the NBA cash for her therapy and medication. He’s from the ghetto, but he just signed a $4 million contract and ready to move to his new beach house down in South Beach Miami…woohooo. Now let’s just hope he won’t do his monkey dance again whenever he makes a shot, I hate it when he does that..:P
Now let's move on to Dixon....both of his parents were habitual drug users who caught HIV from dirty needles and died when he was in high school. I’m telling you..he didn’t have an easy childhood, in fact it had been a rough road for him. When he was a kid, he spent a lot of time sitting in the car for hours, waiting for his parents to finish their drug transactions. He was almost plunged to the same life as his parents…but he wanted to lead a clean life. Anyway, there’s a beautifully written article about him here
Buat yang di Jakarta...jangan lupa untuk nyalain lampu mobil/motor between 1.00-14.00, untuk nge-dukung kampanye hari antimadat sedunia.
Light on guys...
That is actually one of the topics that is discussed in mtv message board. I’m telling you..life is filled with so many interesting people. Coba aja kalo di perhatiin satu satu phobia-nya orang orang itu…bener2 beraneka ragam. Masa siih ada yang takut sama oven and microwave?..huehehe…he swears god that he never uses both things.
Ada juga yang takut sama mushroom..and banana….what’s so scary about them anyway?. Truus..ada juga yang takut sama vacuum cleaner when it’s on…well I can understand this one, cause the noise is just plain annoying..tapi biasanya sih yang takut paling anak kecil aja.
Ada juga yah orang yang afraid of opening a door that is coming in towards him/her, jadi kalo pintu yg di dorong sih ok2 aja, but she would never open the door that she has to pull it, katanya takut aja gitu kalo tau tau ada orang yang dashing in her way and smash her hand or something. Selain itu, ada juga orang yang afraid being rude to the employees at fast food restaurants. I know it’s never a good thing to be rude to people but she has her own particular reason people.. she has this fear that when she’s not polite to the employee, she’s afraid that they will spit on her food or do something nasty to it…huehe..it makes sense in a way though...
Ada juga yang lucu lagi…someone has a serious phobia of fish!!. she ain’t joking yo..cause she said that whenever she visits her friend who happens to have fish, they have to hide it first somewhere. She said that when she has kids in the future…they better not come to her face with that..”mommy, may I have a fish?”..cause the answer will be..HELL NO!!!…huaha..now that’s funny..
Ehh tapi bukan itu aja…there are still a lot of strange phobias, and the one that I found really strange is..there’s some one who’s afraid of BANKS, yes yes yes…it’s the place where you do all your money transactions. Don’t you find it strange? I bet he had a really bad experience when he was in a bank or something. He said he hasn’t been inside a bank for years. I know we can use the one in the grocery store. but still you know..some transactions have to be done in the main office.
Hmm..trus..ada juga yang petrified of clown, I heard that one a lot …even P. Diddy is afraid of clown..huehe..*beneran tauuk*. Selain clown..ada juga yang can’t stand people in animal or character costumes..hmm..goodbye disneyworld aja kali ya buat mereka. Trus ada juga yang have a phobia of antique stores…don’t know why, but probably cause everything there looks old and have unknown history that makes it so spooky.
Selain itu semua, ada juga yang afraid of dandelions…huehe, she must hate spring so much, huh? Trus yang terakhir nih... nggak usah banyak2 yah cause it'll take up a lot of space if i list everything. Okay.. you know when you go to make like Pillsbury biscuits or muffin right? You have to peel the paper off slowly..and then it makes that huge POP noise when it’s open..??..this one person said that’s the scariest thing he ever experiences..hihi…
As far as for me, I don’t think I have a strange phobia..i know height terrifies me but I guess that’s a common thing. Oh..wait a minute...i think i do have one. I can’t stand to see a door that’s half open (or is it half shut?). Anyway, I just can’t stand it..it has to be either all the way opened or all the way shut. Kesannya tuh kalo cuma kebuka sedikit kaya there's something/someone hides behind it. ..hiiiii..
Trusnya...ada satu lagi nih, I have what's called an obsessive compulsive disorder, it's a disorder when you feel like you have to check and recheck everything, like checking for the hundreds time whether you have locked the door or turned off the iron or not. Sometimes when i'm just leaving the house..i'll be like.."did i turn off the stove? how about the candle?"..and i'll be feeling uncomfortable...and it happens quite often. But mine is not that bad though..and i'm working on it. I've read a book about obsessive compulsive disorder...and hmm..let's just say that i feel so sorry for those people. There is this one person who sometimes feel like her teeth are not clean enough, so she keeps brushing her teeth again and again, like every ten minutes or so. There's a medication for this..in severe cases you have to take meds daily.
So how about you??
So today I have nothing to do, I just finished up the Shopaholic takes Manhattan book, gotta go to borders again this evening to get another book. Abis selesai baca buku, I watched sex and the city dvd season 3, aahh welcome to the world of unemployed fresh graduate. I kinda miss being busy though, I miss my college life, I miss the feeling of waking up in the morning and know what you have to do and accomplish on that day...i miss the shitty stuff that you have to get thru in college. Well I know I know by the time I start college again I’ll eat my words and start complaining and wishing to have my free time back, to lying low on the couch flipping through channels. So maybe I just have to enjoy this while it last..
I had two interviews last Friday, one was just like a screening interview, it was informal and they said they would give me a call for the real interview if they are interested, but the man said that he was sure that the company will count me in for another interview, but i just don't want to put my hope up high. So hopefully one of those two will lead me to the level of employment….
Soo..what else is new? Oh speaking about the book I just read, it’s a follow up to her *Sophie Kinsela that is* first book “Confession of a Shopaholic”, it’s really a lighthearted piece of fun, perfect for summer reading. You definitely should read it..especially you you little shopaholic…..:P
Too bad i didn't watch the whole game cause i was stuck somewhere downtown. I only watched the 4th quarter, I was kinda praying that the season would not ended in game 4, cause then I'll be left with no entertainment on TV no more, hmmpph but what can i say, i guess i just have to wait till November...and goodbye NBC..cause next season NBC won't be hosting the game, i think it'll be in either ABC or ESPN next time. I think this final is not that exciting though, in fact according to Nielsen Media Research, this is the lowest rated final since 1981, i don't know who were playing at that time, but i agree with that cause this time the lakers simply won by defeat, no competition. For me the real final was the pacific division championship against the Kings, that was a hell of a game.
By the way, I think the MVP should be given to Kobe instead of Shaq. But oh well...Kobe has a lot years left. He's young. I predict he'll eventually get MVP one fine day
K to the izzO......B to the izzE
He wore #23 tonight......

So..for all of you who happen to be in the LakersLand, enjoy the victory...tonight you have excuse to party your ass off, and for all you Lakers haters, get used to it....=)
Happy LakersDay everybody..........
I was watching Fear Factor just now, but then the gross part came in, i could never stand it to see them forced to eat disgusting things. This time is worse, each of the contestant have to eat what is called a skeeball. The name sounds cute huh? But it is actually pig uterus....ugh imagine that. By the way ..it's pink by color,it's like a long spiral tube and looks slimy, it's just gross to look at, let alone to put it in your mouth and chew it. And they said it's smells so disgustingly bad, worse than sour milk, in fact it's the worst smelling items ever stored in the infamous Fear Factor refrigator. Ooh noo let's just talk about something else before someone is throwing up here....
So the lakers won again last night, well the Nets had a chance to win the game, or at least stretch it to over time but it just didn't happen. I'll be rooting for the nets this wednesday though, not that i don't want Lakers to win, they will eventually win the title again this time..we all know that. But the thing is, Lakers is my favorite so i don't want this season to end just yet because it's gonna be months again till i can see them again. I know it'll be nice for them to have a sweep 4-0 win, but i still want to be entertained by them, so..please extend the series and make it to game 7, will you?
Kobe was playing unreal last night, i hope he'll get his first MVP finals this year, he is trully deserve it. Anyway, speaking about the Lakers, i like all the starting line ups, but i'm less than impressed with the bench. Well Shaw was allright last night and so did George.. but the rest of them, especially Samaki Walker? Damn i hate him soooo bad, i hate the stupid smirks he has in his face everytime he draws a stupid foul, and he always drawn a stupid foul within seconds of stepping on the court...what's up with that??..
Oh by the way, i got a dior sunglasses last weekend.... *makasih ya tayaaank*..definitely need a new fabz sunglasses for the summer..
It's sports weekend huh?. There's the NBA Finals, the French Open finals, the Stanley Cup, the final leg of the Triple Crown, plus interleaque ball and Tyson-Lewis. I'm sure it'll be a fun weekend for the guys. Ooh, and let's not forget there's the World Cup also. So for all the Ladies and all my single girlfriends back home, don't forget to hop in to your favorite sports bar this weekend where all the guys watch the kick offs and find yourself a nice looking guy...=).
Have a great weekend everybody............
Mocha almond fudge by Breyers is soo goood....i just can't get enough of it.
So.. the lakers won the game last night..it wasn't a surprise, was it? Anyway, before the game started, they had this show about Robert Horry, a glimpse idea about his life lah ceritanya. Ternyata, dia punya anak cewe, ashlyn namanya yang agak cacat mental dan nggak bisa ngomong sama sekali..anaknya lahir with a genetic defect that renders her unable to walk or eat without assistance. Kasian yah? Jadi kalo lagi nggak ada game or practice, si horry ya balike ke houston buat spend time sama keluarganya dan juga nemenin anaknya ke therapist. Horry, beside kobe, is my favorite player, i know he is not the most versatile player in the league, but he always reappears to make a difference...
well what can i do...i have absolutely nothing to do these days. I just updated my resume cause i plan to send out my resume to some of the companies that i'm targetting.
Yesterday, at Borders, i got a bargain book about the icons of the century. It is basically a brief biography of the people who have made a history during the twentieth century. Most of the famous people are there, from the Queen Victoria, Coco Chanel, Mahatma Gandhi, Hitler, Anne Frank, Evita Peron, Ronald Reagan to Margaret thatcher to Boris Yeltsin. Seru juga kayanya ya... i just got to buy that one walaupun masih ada beberapa buku yang belom kebaca such as The confession of teenage hackers, The millionaire next door, Ca Bau kan & Supernova *thanks for the supply trid..=)*, dan setumpuk majalah majalah dari mulai A+, Djakartamag, Cosmo Indonesia, Dewi, Prodo, Femina, Tabloid Marketing and SWA..my all time fave magazine ...ooh and also ada majalah master web. Duuh, tolong dong master web, i think you guys better concentrate di websitenya master web aja *banyak dead linknya tuh...website gue aja dari yang jaman duluuuuu banget masih ada padahal jelas2 linknya udah di ganti*, too much diversivications in a short time period will only hurt you. Anyway, it's just my 2 cents, abisnya majalahnya terlalu di ada adain banget.......
Soo...what else?, i think that's it for today, i gotta go to post office before it's closed and head off to the gym after that....i'm determined to get one of those toned abs and shoulder this summer *woohoo*..therefore i couldn't skip a single session eventhough skarang badannya masih pegel2 semua..=(..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ndutiku tayaaaaank..............=)
You're the best thing that ever happened to.. June....huehehe....
Pheew...Now that I have all the time to blog around, I don’t blog at all, that’s weird considering I was always wanted to blog but never had enough time to write. Anyway..i’m so happy that the Lakers won the West Division title last night *woohooo*… they won it in overtime and on the road.. At first I wasn’t so sure that they were gonna win the game, cause the Kings are just so talented plus they had a home court advantage. But I guess the kings don’t have the poise yet to get the job done, they looked so frustrated. I feel sorry for them…especially for Bibby who played awesome last night.
Speaking about the Lakers, I just finished reading the story of the youngest player to ever appear in the NBA -well this guy was the first player to join the NBA right after graduated from high school, so that made him the youngest at that time- famously known as Kobe Bryant..*hehe, kirain siapa yah?". And yes, in case you're wondering..his parents named him after that delicious Japanese steak. I'm not a groupie or anything, but he’s a truly inspiring individual *at least for me* and I have so much respect for him. I’m just amazed with his hard work, with his ambition to fulfill his dreams, with his faith in himself even though the whole world doubted him.. with his capabilities to pull through and proved everyone wrong. I’m also astounded with his personality and his ability to stay as a homebody with his celebrity status, he refuses to be a part of the fast-paced LA lifestyle. I think he is an amazing young man, plus he speaks Italian..isn’t that cute?. And NO no no, he is not cocky, he is just living his life……
Anyway, before the Kobe Bryant book, I read..”Sebuah Skenario, Jujur Prananto, AADC?”. Lucu juga bukunya, jadi tau gimana nge draft suatu scenario itu. Baca dari scenarionya sih…kayanya ceritanya bagus dan menarik, sayang vcd nya belom keluar. In the meantime, nonton Jelangkung sama Pasir Berbisik dulu aja kali yaaa yang udah di bawain vcdnya.
Oh well, I got to roll now…Dina will be here any minutes, mo lunch dulu niih sekalian browsing around the mall, and wind down at Borders after that…
