A few days ago, more specifically on Friday, 20 November 2009 was the 17th birthday of my friend, Angelika Surya Veronika (angelika20). I know it's already so late, but better late than never, right? xD *sorry, dear!*

HAPPY (BELATED) SWEET 17TH BIRTHDAY, ANGEL!

I know it looks way too simple... I think I'll update later when I've found a proper image to be put up here... I was thinking of editing a photo of your "husband" but I don't think that would be a good idea if it's done by me. xD

It's been awhile since I posted in my journal... well, last Friday I went to SMA Kolese Kanisius (Canisius College) in Menteng, Jakarta Pusat. There was an annual school event held in there, called CC Cup (Canisius College Cup), which is a week full of competition of sports and arts (mostly sports) among high schools in Jakarta. I went there just to watch and record the Modern Dance competition, which has always been of my interest. So, if you like it also, maybe you'll be interested to watch these videos. There were 12 performances from 11 schools, but I forgot to record one of them, so there are only 11 videos. Enjoy! =)

SMAN 8


This one is the most favorite performance of mine. However, the most favorite ones in general are performances from SMA St. Ursula and SMA Kanisius. You can check them out behind the cut. =)

( the rest of the performances, click here )

Today is the inauguration of the next president and vice president of the Republic of Indonesia, for the 2009-2014 period.



The honorable Mr. Dr. H. Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and Mr. Prof. Dr. Boediono

Let's hope for the best for the next four years, not just for them, but also for the entire members of the "Indonesia Bersatu" cabinet. It's not gonna be an easy period to be passed through, but I believe they will strive for the sake of this nation. Just like their motto, "Continue!" (Lanjutkan!)

Today is the 17th birthday of my friend, Okky Dwiana (qyqy). So I just wanna say:

HAPPY SWEET 17TH BIRTHDAY, OKKY!
Hope you like the cake we gave you earlier. xD

You know I'm not creative, so don't expect much from me... hehe. However, I know you like pink, so I choose that color. =)

I got a little present for you, behind the cut. xD

( i think you're gonna like it )

Just for fun... which one do you think did it better?

IMO, I'd say After School did it better, they seemed to be more powerful *or maybe I'm just GaHee-biased* xD
Anyway, Ga Hee's style somehow really reminds me of Ciara in "Like A Boy" MV... xD

Just feeling like showing this awesome and powerful performance to you all... =)

Agnes Monica - Shake It Off @ ASF 2009


Watch it in HD format for better view. xD

I was wondering why she didn't perform the song "Godai Aku Lagi" (English: Tease Me More) instead... I really like that song. *despite the fact that she had performed that in ASF 2008, along with "Shake It Off"*

P.S.: If you like Asian songs, I suggest you watch the whole show:

Well, this is the first time I did a meme... Honestly speaking, doing a meme is not my thing. However, considering that HSJ is still pretty special to me, I decided to do it anyway. I'm now having some kind of "affair" with K-Pop singers so I'm trying to recall my memories back in the days when I was so into HSJ. xD

Actually I made this card as a school assignment, and thought I'd share it here... edited using CorelDRAW 12, and basically this is just a mix of various images I found in Google... I edited the background using Photoshop CS3 though, I have no idea how to use CorelDRAW for editing images... xD

... and this one is my favorite. Credit to Markus Kevin, a classmate of mine.


So that's it. Have a great time with your family. =)

Well... This is really pissed me off.

The blog Cashewmania @ wordpress was SUSPENDED, and I've just found it today, when I was about to download a video.

( just a little details )

QUOTE OF THE DAY

(Regarding to the matter of Malaysia's one-sided claim on Indonesian culture)

"MAIN AKU-AKU AJA"

(read: don't mess around with me)

(by Mrs. Ribut Setiani, SMA Don Bosco 2 Geography Teacher)

...then I think this video would suit you, whether you like K-Pop or not, it's somehow enjoyable; and most importantly, SUPER HILARIOUS.

2PM & 2AM (Dirty Eyed Girls) - Abracadabra (MV Parody from Wild Bunny Show ep.6)


As much as I could describe how addictive the song is, those boys are... *speechless*

Anyway, here's the original MV.
Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra

The upcoming issue of V magazine, V #61, will be released in 19 special edition covers, featuring 19 girls from Women and Supreme management, exclusively shot by Paul Rowland. The models featured are Alana Zimmer, Alla Kostromicheva, Behati Prinsloo, Christina Kruse, Daiane Conterato, Darya Kurovska, Georgina Stojiljkovic, Hanne Gaby Odiele, Hannelore Knuts, Iris Strubegger, Isabeli Fontana, Meghan Collison, Mina Cvetkovic, Natasa Vojnovic, Ranya Mordanova, Rose Cordero, Suvi Koponen, Valentina Zelyaeva, and Yulia Kharlapanova. If I could describe the concept, it's like "Back to Nature", with less makeup but 'grand' hairstyle.

Get ready to pick your favorite.

( all covers here )

Student, obviously. xD

Today, my sister, Karolina, went to Bumi Mandiri Center (BMC) to join the Basic Training of Leadership (read: Latihan Dasar Kepemimpinan or LDK). It's a compulsory training for any students who want to join the Student Committee (read: Organisasi Siswa Intra Sekolah or OSIS). She'll be back on Friday, though... I'll be missing her.

LIN, I MISS YOUUU~... (even that sounds kinda lebay to me)

FYI, OSIS is an organization of students, which are formed in Junior High School (read: Sekolah Menengah Pertama or SMP) and Senior High School (read: Sekolah Menengah Atas/Umum or SMA or SMU). Its duty is to organize and take care of certain school activities which are held from students to students, such as orientation week for new students, art and talent performance, school's competition, education fair, etc.

OK. I know I shouldn't be the one to write this, but I just wanna say...

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

THANK YOU FOR ALL THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE CONGRATULATED ME TODAY!! ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY. ♥ YOU ALL. THANKS A LOT.

After comparing one by one, I think this one is.

Off from Episode 18. Click the image for maximum enjoyment.
(Watch out, it's super HQ!)



( some fanart )

I decided to post his images... before it's too late: now or never.

FYI, Kim Bum is one of the cast of Boys Over/Before Flowers, playing as So Yi Jung. Between F4, I think he's the one who has the most fangirls... although it's only my speculation. xD

Anyway, enjoy! I picked the images randomly, according to my taste... and needs. =)

Special thanks to: hydkorea; more specifically to scentofyours, kimsooji, ssanbi, leeweilin

This one is off from SPRIS Collection 2009. The rest can be found under the cut.


Caution: Watch out your internet speed. Lots of images and some are HQ.

( you know you love him )

First, please no complain. Just enjoy the show. =)

FYI, Kim Hyun Joong is one of the cast of Boys Over/Before Flowers, playing as Yoon Ji Hoo. He is also a member of SS501, a popular South Korean boyband under management of DSP Entertainment.

I can't help posting these photos of him just because, in my opinion, he could look so breathtaking and adorable sometimes (read: often, NOT always). However, I gotta admit that he's got the charm because I'm helplessly spellbound. In Boys Over/Before Flowers, I fancy him the most, especially after he cut his hair short, so yeah... call me obsessed, only this time, perhaps. xD



More sweetness under the cut. Watch out your internet speed. =)
( Hyun Joong overdose )

I had a Geography lesson today, and we learned a new unit, about "Industry". Now I wouldn't mind about every lesson that I've ever been taught or I'm going to be taught, but with a teacher as eccentric and controversial like my Geo teacher, Mrs. Ribut Setiani, sometimes I think I need to go out of the line... a bit. =)
