A City That Never Sleeps

Hi folks. long time no see. and no update.

Last weekends I went off to New York with mom and my sibs. I love New York (for the first time!). I've been there more than 3 times, but last trip was the first time I felt excited about NY.

We went to NY by bus (Megabus!) and we stayed at the Double Tree hotel in Times Square (I highly recommend this hotel!). The first day, we booked 4 tickets to see Legally Blonde: The Musical. As cheesy as it sounds, I kinda excited to see a broadway play (a broadway play!).. and the best part is the theatre is just next door from my hotel (literally). After the play, we dined at a japanese rest. It was sooo nice and we had the best time that nite.

The next day, we went the famous NY sightseeing (for the tourists, although I hate the fact that I was a tourist!). So.. we went to Empire State Building, Ground Zero, Liberty to name a few. It took half a day! crayzay.. and later that night we met Rani si gokil (Looove the tattoo!).



I really love new york now.. but with conditions!
LOL.

What'll Ya Have?

That's a famous catch-phrase from the old burger chain called The Varsity in here, Atlanta, Georgia.

Days after my mom arrival, me and my fam (including my sibs) headed to Atlanta to visit my aunt and her husband. My grandma is here too! and my cousin Russell. I was having the best time right here. We were catching up a whole lot (I haven't seen em all for 7 months.. So.. I was overwhelmed). My uncle, Darren took us to some nice places (Korean restaurant, the Varsity burgers and chilli hot dogs). I was thrilled!

We went to the Georgia Aquarium (which photos are deleted cuz I was f--kin clumsy). The aquarium was huge!! and I love the belugas! We also went to the Six Flags Over Georgia. It was A BLAST. Me and my brother rode those crazy roller coasters: Superman flying coaster, the standing coaster (called Georgia Scorcher) which is my ultimate favorite coaster ever!! and more.

I also tried the authentic Southern comfort foods (ribs, cornbread, etc.) and i've been waiting for that moment to come.. So I was beyond happy! :D And Mom also cooked us Hainam Chicken rice, Babi panggang merah.. tempe orek! Delish! (again! i haven't eat em for 7 months). I was in heaven!

I really wanna go back to Atl someday. Beside my aunt and my cousin are there, I'd like to visit the Six Flags.. and try the Southern Foods again!


See y'all.

Freakshow

Hi there. It was quite a while since my last post.

Anyway,

Last weekends, me and Rani did loads of silly, crazy stuff; from silly photoshoots (some of em turned out artsy).. and! we did a video! hahaha. It's on youtube btw (but won't tell anything about it).

some artsy shits (the 2nd one is my personal favorite. both taken by Rani)

.. and some of the nerdy shits! (LOL)

Yea. We just horsin' around. We got nothing to do.. and that's the result of ongoing boredom. Lol.

I think i'm getting narsistic lately.

Ok then, have a nice day (and hopefully enjoy the video. if u're lucky)

Bye!

Almost There

It's raining. Yay! I love rain.. cuz it makes me want to sleep more. But I can't cuz I'm back to nocturnal sleep time. Dammit.
Lol. I decided to made 2 sandwiches, consists of a lite butter and choco sprinkles.

Anyway, I went out to the kitchen and I looked into the windows.. and.. I loved what I saw: The windows are wet and the skies kinda greyish. Love it. I felt like in a movie or something. Then go back here to write this post.

So. I was thinking about anything I might do next, like.. get a new scale, paying the electric bill, get an ID, wayfarer and a tattoo.
Yea. I'm going to get one. Seriously this time.. I want it so bad! hahaha.. all in the name of vanity. LOL.

Hmm.. I don't know what to do with my sleeping time. It's just a mess. I sleeps at 10 am, wakes up at 6 p.m. (5 if I'm lucky). I mean that's just f%&@#d up.

Btw.. My mom, bro and sis will come to Boston on Aug 6. Meanwhile, I'll go to New Jersey on July 25.
I'm happy. Almost.

Yearbook's Second Anniversary

July 18, 2006 was the most memorable day of my life and arguably my proudest moment. On that day, the 2006 SMU Yearbook was officially out! I was psyched! 'cause after all the late-nite works and the endless meetings, the yearbook finally became a real thing. It was a bittersweet experience.

I remembered the first idea that I brought to the yearbook staff is urban/modern contemporary, and I don't know what the hell was that. What I wanted is just a yearbook with artsy layouts and cover. At first people were like confused and had no idea what I want. It was tough.

Then.. I also wanted a conceptualized photoshoots (like CSI, Musical genres, Oldies, Executives and etc), a young and hip layouts with a touch of artsy and shits (LOL). It was a team work so, a lot of different artistic visions and stuff. But since this was my first time ever involved in such an important project (and since the previous yearbook covers were crappy), I wanted to do the cover. And I did. I envisioned this light, funky and hip cover. With lotsa color (it was like rainbow threw up on the cover) and roses and wings.. and at first I thought (the cover) was kinda gay. But I went with it anyway. (thanks to Mirna and my bro for helpin me out).

Talking 'bout the cover. The cover sorta has several meanings, for example: the wings around 'Jubilee' symbolized our departure to the future and it translated to 'Reaching for the Future' (I forgot who came out with this theme). Also, if you notice, there's 12 stars around the crown, which means we have finished 12 years of education and moving to a new level of education: college and of course the real world. There also roses symbolized that we're bloomed to a new seeds of hope. Sadly, I just made that up (and my sister's friend bought it). I'm telling the truth now: there's no real meanings on the cover.. I just loved the layout. LOL.

Today, 2 years later, I'm still proud of this yearbook. I poured my heart and soul into it. I spent months working on this and worked my ass off. Our team worked their asses off. It was all Blood, Sweat and Tears. And it was all worth the pain.

I believe, that our yearbook is set the bar for senior high school yearbook standard (in Jubilee school to say the least). I even heard that O Level kinda copied the style of our cover for their cover. Well, I haven't seen it tho. Also, last year graduate (2007) used the same direction for their layout. I think it was a compliment to us yearbook staff, that people trying to copy the artwork. That means us rock!

Since I saw the first SMP yearbook (2003), I vowed myself to design my senior class yearbook. I did and I'm glad that I joined the team. Now I can die happy. (D)

ps: hope we can recreate this photo one more time. LOLs

Changes

I was checking out my friendster and I just wanted to see the horoscope (fyi: im not a big believer in horoscope. wtv).
Here's mine:

(GEMINI): Things need to be radically changed -- but if you take your time, you can do it! You can see what needs to be fixed in your life right now, and you are starting to come to the conclusion that things need to be radically changed if you are going to get to where you want to be -- but don't get scared, get empowered! You know you need to do it, and you know how to do it -- so do it! Sure, it might take more time than you thought, and it might cause some conflict in your life. But you will feel much happier once things are the way you want them to be.

I was like, dang that was so true (and sadly, that's where I'm at). I need to change my lifestyle. immediately. otherwise it'd be very bad. I need the motivation, which I'm lack of.

Anyway, I'm still wondering how people could predict things like this. I'm still curious. Yea.. that's my post reacting to the horoscope. If you happen to see urs, please let me know ur horoscope predictions! (LOL).

Have a nice day!
:D

What's Up?

Hi,

Just wanna update this blog. I'm getting real lazy lately.. but I get my sleeping time back! yeay. I slept around 11-12pm and woke up around 7-10am. HA!

Ok.. I'm addicted to renting movies lately. And I watched 'Vanilla Sky' and 'The Iron Giant' throughout this week. 'Vanilla Sky' (starring Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz & Penelope Cruz. what a great cast!) was a sick movie which I kinda like. Sick and twisted. While 'The Iron Giant' was an animated movie (starring Harry Connick Jr & Jennifer Aniston) that reminds me of my love to traditional animated movies. The Iron Giant is a great family movie that I highly recommended! :D

oK.. it turns out to be a looong post. Aha!
see ya guys folks! (pardon my grammar)
Miss ya guys! :D

ps: i removed a part of this post to avoid further troubles. peace out! :D
