Is this post.
Up to this point, there maybe 3 or 4 posts about my problem in sleeping. Yes, I don't know why I couldn't get any sleep or manage to sleep right. And also, I don't know is this some kind of disorder or is it me that wasn't try hard enough. Anyway..
I got this idea about star signs. I kinda researched about people who are defined by Star signs. It's kinda hard to explain but, what I mean is that I believe that Star signs, affect the character of a person. I wanna talk about star signs that very close to me, family's. Let's start with.. Leo
Actually, I was thinking about Leo for a while; the characters of it and the Leo people. Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Halle Berry are Leo, to name a few. They're very powerful and driven (especially that chick named Madonna). I noticed that Leo is very stubborn, either in good way or bad. They're also charismatic and people will always take notice. They somehow can become the leader in a group or be the one who really stand out and also, not afraid to take chances. That's why Leos pretty much successful in life. My dad's a Leo.. and Cynthia (miss ya).
Then.. Taurus. My mom is a Taurus. Taurus is also stubborn and they have strong will. They always want to know things, like how it works. Taurus seems always want to find a way out of problems. They will keep figuring out the solutions or stuff. Despite they strong characters, Taurus can also be very kind and maternal towards people. They know how to treat people, in manner. They also a deep thinker. They always think first before doing things. I also get the sense that, Taurus people are very nice.. but once u make them mad, u're finished. In short, don't mess with them (Jk). My Mom is Taurus.. and so do Rani, Derren (my cousin) and as for celebrities, Uma Thurman, Cher, Queen Elizabeth II, Audrey Hepburn and more.
Last one.. mine, Gemini. Who doesn't love a Gemini? hahaha. Here's what i got: Geminis are have a great taste, somewhat perfectionist and.. creative. I don't mean to be cocky, but it is. We can make things up out of no where, wether intended or in certain circumstances like under pressure thingy or whatnot. I also think that we can act the part, means that we can be very versatile.. we can get along with a lot of different people (although i only got few friends). We can create topics, thanks to our versatility and broad knowledges (actually it's more about my friends than me LOL). O yea, i share a birthday with Wentworth Miller! :D Also, I know some Geminis.. they are Ingrid, TJ and Angela. Gemini rox hard.
I didn't mention my sib's signs (Cancer, Virgo) cuz.. i don't know much and besides.. If i put it it'll sounds fake and this post would be loooong as krazy.
LOL. I kinda bit kukkoo this morning.. I need to lie down.
See ya in bits.

Today is my last class which means that Final Exams is all i have to do. Yay. I feel pretty confident, nervous but also excited. What makes me excited is that I will be free for 3 months! I can't imagine that really.
By the way.. I feel so happy and shits today. In my last fundamental of apparel design class, i felt so good that my artwork getting recognized by my peers and also my professor. They're really nice.. and they're compliments were sweet, they made me blushing so bad. Thanks guys..
Well, bad things do happen all the time. Today, i felt sooo sick i don't know why.. I felt like wanna puke. Blurgh. And also there's a friend here that i felt she's different to me nowadays.. i don't know why.. it's like i make something bad. Anyway.. to make things worse (even though these are necesseries), I gotta go to gym, pay the rent and also, clean up my room. It's about time.
But, still.. today is amazing! Loves it!

Inspirations
Hello everyone! I wanna make a post in Indonesian starting right.. now. OK.. gw mau bikin post dengan bahasa Indo juga (nyontek TJ) dan kebetulan ud lama banget pengen post pake bahasa Indo (sejak jaman blogging dr FS taon 2006-07) =p.
Anyway, hari ini hari ke-3 bulan May, dan masih saja dingin. Ngeselin abis.. hari ini mo pergi2 jadi males rasanya. But i'm gonna go to Shaw's to pick some DVDs, that for sure.
Gw pengen ngomongin tentang Inspirasi. Hidup gw blakangan ini berjalan dengan bantuan kluarga (baik finansial atau emosional), support dari orang2 terdekat.. dan juga inspirasi. Inspirasi main peranan besar dalam hidup gw.
First off, diet. Gw jujur2 aja dulu gw sempet overweight dan sempet juga turun berat badan (skrg gembul lagi). Dulu gw terinspirasi oleh (o God), Jessica Simpson (jamannya Dukes of Hazzard) ama Madonna. Gw bner2 takjub dengan mereka karena, selain mereka cewe, mrk commit banget dengan diet program mereka. Dulu gw ikutin south beach diet ala jessica dan cara makan madonna (kunya 18 kali, makan brown rice dan ikan dll). Dan akhirnya gw turun 20kg. Namun apa daya balik lagi (stenga dr yang gw ilangin). Skrg, gw trinspirasi Mariah Carey ama blogger Perez Hilton. Gw pgn kembali kyk dulu, feel good dan ada sikit muscle. Pokoknya sukses dalam berdiet de.
Trus juga inspirasi untuk blogging. Ini diawalin dgn liat blog2 temen2 .. gw jadi ikut2an kepengen blogging. Selain krn pengen, gw juga mau expresikan diri visually. Gw kalo diperatiin jarang blog, tpi layout gw sering brubah. Gw dmen ganti2 layout. Trus juga dalam penulisan dalam bahasa Inggris. Gw dmen dgn Inggris (walaupun grammar gw jelek) dan ga jarang gw suka perhatiin orang2 asia (kususnya indo) yang pandai inggris. Mereka memotivasi dan menginspire gw untuk belajar Inggris more.
Inspirasi juga dateng buat design2 gw. Celeb, trends banyak inspired design gw. Tapi paling menginspirasi gw itu lagu2nya Madonna di Hard Candy. Gw mentranslate albumnya jadi koleksi design gw yang color schemenya ga jauh2 dari pink, black and white. Dan selama membuat project boardnya, gw dengerin lagu2nya setiap hari. (I'll post the picture soon)
Trus inspirasi juga ga jauh dari tempat tinggal gw. Memasuki spring, Boston Park (yang ada di sebrang apt gw), looks super beautiful. Kembang2 (jadul bgt ni bahasa), bertebaran.. warna warni.. bagus bgt. Tiap pagi ke skolah lewatin taman itu, dan bikin gw seger aja.. dan happy. I don't know why.. but It made me feel good.
Teman2 gw di Indo ga jarang menginspiring gw. Hardworking friends, the Over-achievers.. the fabulous Ones. I won't name names, but U guys will notice who. Pokoknya mereka menginspirasi gw banget de.
Trakhir, my family. Keluarga gw more or less inspiring bwt gw. Jelek bagusnya mereka buat gw adalah hal-hal yang menarik buat gw untuk dipikir and diambil inspirasi. Memotivasi. Gw ga mo sebutin apa, tapi mereka kalo baca pasti tau de apa. I'm so proud of them. Terakhir.. anjing2 gw; Jokker Rockey. Mereka bisa bikin gw nangis kalo ada hal buruk terjadi pd mrk. Dua anjing itu juga menginspire gw untuk peduli anti kekerasan pada binatang khususnya anjing. Mrk juga yang bisa bikin walls around me crumbled and makes me feel so much sensitive as a person.
I have one more inspiration that has influence me. Xtina. She's the best!
So there you have it.. My inspirations so far. I hope that this post can inspire you in anyway..
Thank you and Good Nite!

2 Weeks To Freedom
I Simply can't wait for the summer vacay. I wanna meet friends and hang out wit em so much, i decided to make a new post. Haha. I wanna go visit friends in Seattle, or Canada, or NJ (YES, im talking about Nath, TJ and Rani). I just wanna hang out and talk with old friends, who are living around the US.
ok.. Today, i just presented my fashion assignment which I'm so excited about. The Final project which consists of several designs that I've already posted in Flickr. (Check it on www.flickr.com/photos/noremix). I honestly didn't present it well, due to my lack of confidence and English skill, but my professor said that the storyboard was professional looking. I was honored :p.
O yea, i also met this old lady with two Corgis! (one is 15 yo and the other is 7). She was a nice lady. I approached her and talked to her about how cute her dogs are and blabla.. and i also have one in indonesia he just turn 1 blabla and so on. But we ended up talking more from how we agreed that dogs are the most caring and lovable animal on earth, to this recent news about a father (i believe in Austria) who kept his daughter prisoner for 24 frickin years!. She was 18 when she was taken to the basement and now she's 42. He had sex with his own daughter and produced 8 kids! 8 KIDS for Christ sake. They 're technically his child but.. they can be his grandkids, or wtv. I mean, that just plain wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
Anyway.. I feel that my burden slowly decreasing..and i began to think about how i'm gonna spend this summer with interesting activities and what not. But let that become my sweet problems.
and one more thing. I'm sick of Jubilee School that grading students based on their personal feelings, not on the student's credibility or works. That's fucking non-sense. Grow up you grown up people. It's 2008 not 1978.
Alright.. I'm gonna sleep now. So tired. Thanks for visiting. A comment won't hurt
Byeee

Guilty Pleasure
Last Saturday, I went to Six Flags New England. So awesome! It cost $15 (bought it from school) and it was 2-hour ride from Boston. It was sooo cool, I rode the fiercest roller coasters ever! There was The Superman Ride (f*%$ing crazy), Batman (my favorite so far!), Mind Eraser (hanging coaster) and some crappy rides. But overall, it was out of body experience almost literally, cause in some rides, I felt like I almost out of the cart. Ha
By the way, I really enjoy Madonna's half new record from Hard Candy. She released "4 Minutes" which was so 2008 (means I loves it) and I also enjoy "Miles Away". The rest of the album pretty much the same to me. O yeah, It's kinda leak songs so I downloaded it. It's my guilty pleasure.
I have a lot guilty pleasures.. such as, buying groceries, reality shows.. eating too much.. networking sites (facebook, friendster), gossip blogs and clothes. Yes. pretty much everything i like is guilty pleasure-ing. Whatever.
Gosh, I wanna visit Indonesia.. really, it's like crazy now.. I miss my dogs so much.. t.t
Btw, STARBUCKS changed their logo!
Joking (hopefully)
See ya guys in bit

Getting Hard
Hard Candy! Yep. Madonna's new album really fired me up. I don't know why, I drawn to it so much, I can't help it. I constantly listening to '4 Minutes' everytime! In case is u don't notice, my banner is using the same font as Madonna's Hard Candy album title! :D
Today, I got a headache. So annoying! I can't stand it. It keeps getting hurt since morning. Hate it.
Also, the college is getting hard. The assignments, tests are brutal. The projects. O, special mention the Hong Kongs. Bullcrap. I thought they're open minded, but they're just the opposite. Narrow-minded freaks. (I only speaks about the particular people. No offense for others HK! I Love HK!).
oK.. I'm officially getting crazy.
I'll see ya later.
D is out.

Let's Get Physical
Physical as in PE that is.
Today, April 2, marks the first time I stepped into Gym in this year! (So I've been out of gym since December! holla).
I know, I gained weight too much, I felt sick of my self. Plus I also felt the pressure to get good marks in college (the first time ever since high school. Really.)
So I went to the gym which was so different compares to ours in Indo; the gym is simple and really brings up the true meaning of gym: workout. We all know, that fitness centre in Indonesia is the place for exhibition (whatever it is to be exhibit). Anyway, there's a swimming pool and it was decent too. I felt okay tho with the pool except the face that my goggle is f*cked. It's so uncomfortable. I bought speedo goggle. I vowed to never ever buy speedo goggle. Ever.
So.. Today's I pretty tired, physically. Woke up at 9 AM went to school til 3 PM. Then, went to gym from 4.30 PM to 6.30 PM. Then went to Shaw's and CVS to pick up groceries. I was friggin exhausted. O yeah, today I gotta finish 2 important assignment: Fashion sketches and English essay. Go @#$% Urself (to assignments).
Huh, O yea. My sketches were picked to be on the cover of Fisher's Fashion Show 2008 invitations. Psyched!
B-Bye.

Back To Reality

Yes.. Here i am. After a week of spring break in New York, I feel brand new: Lazier.
I don't wanna go to school! argh! I'm already used to the life on a break! just kidding. I have to go to school :(
The Break started with Rani came to Boston. We spent great times here, really. The cheesecake, chips.. it was a blast! (i know u will be vomiting by the time u read this Ran). After 2 days in Boston, we headed to NYC!
I was in New York for Spring Break and spent the night at Rani's place in New Jersey haha.. We spent days wandering around New York. We went to NY by bus (which was annoying), but it was ok, until i witnessed the TIME SQUARE. It was out of body experience. I felt sooo happy, even though i was so tired (i brought a long my 10 kgs of bag, i believe) and upset (the consulate of Indo was closed!). Basically, It was a fun experience tho which I will treasure my whole life. There's only me and Rani, 2 Indonesian who didn't know anything about NY at all, but finally we managed to handle it (thanks to Rani).
I visited Central Park, Ground Zero (WTC), Rockefeller Cente, etc. I also took picture with the famous Naked Cowboy (he wasn't literally naked tho) and we both addicted to Jamba Juice. Oh ya! the popcorn (Dale & Thomas' gourmet popcorn) was soooo good. Thank God there's one here in Boston (Quincy Market).
I was having the great time ever there! but again, i must admit that, New York ain't really my kinda place. I like it here in Boston. Perhaps, I'm gonna change my mind about continuing school in New York. Perhaps LA. or Boston. Whatever.
Have a great one, people!

What I Like
Yea! it's weekend. Today is actually Saturday morning. 2:47 in the morning. I know.. I slept around 7 p.m. and woke up at 1 a.m. so here I am.
I got idea for my new post, about what I like recently (just popped out of my brain). Here's my favorite things for today:
Music: I really like Madonna's new single "4 Minutes to Save The World" feat. Justin & Timbaland. Freakin' awesome. The beat is sick! and I like my new headset! Sony noise-cancelling headset which is now my bestfriend at night (the friggin' noisy drunk people outside really buggin me every 2/3 am).
Fashion: Balenciaga all the way (in term of design tho). Nicolas Ghesquiére is really a genius! totally haute couture! haha and my favorite line is FCUK for now. They offer really great taste in men clothing. I just really diggin' it.
Food: Au Bon Pain. Yea, after eating Chinese food for a while.. I'm craving for Western ones which is a benefit for me now. Get it? hehe
Animals: Jokker Rockey! my pets. Miss them so much as you can see in my profiles from Myspace to Friendster to Yahoo.
Well.. that's all. Not so much things tho as I thought I would have. Anyway, today's plan is I'm gonna clean up my room and gonna buy new camera. After 2 months not taking pictures (with proper tool) perhaps today it's my chance! :D
See ya guys
D
Btw, I got 100 in Math Test! which is awesome for me (this is my first full score for Math ever in my life)
