trip and plunge

being an observer is awesome.
but ending up as a bystander, with only binoculars as your best friend, sucks balls.

do remember that too much of a good thing is never good.
it's a definite guarantee for overload head problems.
and you hate pointless overload head problems. yes you do.

and please please try not to expect anything if you can't handle the letdown when, unfortunately, you end up unlucky and it fucks you in the face. 
remember, you hate pointless overload head problems. yes you do.

-- from a walk through recent non-memory lane.
hey look, progress! at least most of the times you can already feel genuine happiness while watching through your binoculars.

Jangseung

am terribly in love with Gary's tattoo. never get bored by looking at it over and over again. first noticed it on Running Man ep 95 (near the end of the episode), but just found out that he already had this since around last june.

 

just look at the details. i could just reach out and break it like a plank. 

INSANE SHIT-

"A jangseung or village guardian is a Korean totem pole usually made of wood. Jangseungs were traditionally placed at the edges of villages to mark for village boundaries and frighten away demons. They were also worshipped as village tutelary deities.

Although commonly known as Jangseung in standard Korean, these "totem poles" also are known as Beoksu (Yeongnam), Harabeoji or Halmeoni (Honam), and Hareubang; variations of the form exist in province to province with no real standard set height, facial features, construction methodology, or standard set materials."

remedies

3 day survival kit

got stuck at home (totally) alone and this was my only means of survival.

the peace and quiet was nice for a change, and yes, i still went out occasionally, but i still hoped that other things were present at the time. what a waste. hahaha

Bandung!

so yeah, it was a bit scary, but at the end it was extremely fun and i enjoyed myself completely :}! 

can't wait for the next visit!

                         

nama woy-

false freedom

yeah thanks for rubbing salt--no, acid. acid in the wounds.
really didn't need the reminding, i am perfectly capable of remembering that on my own thank you.
finally get the place all for myself, nice peace and quiet but nooo just had to remind me.

top 6 memorable unplanned movie experiences

ok that sounded weird.
and it's 6 because i suddenly remembered one more and it couldn't be left out.
hey, its 1.20 am in the morning, give me a break.

anyway, here it is:
1. High School Musical 3

this post was triggered by this article of this movie, reminding me that we cringed to no end because of point #2 *shudders*. it got worse from there.

watched it with lalataya and nenek in our early collage years. was bored as shit after school and needed a 'fun' shitty movie to laugh at. sadly, this was our last resort. 

 2. Rain Live Performance 2009

ok so it's not exactly a movie, but so what. i'm highlighting 'experience' here, and this definitely was that.and more.

watched it with lalataya and chita after intense doses of 'tuhan' streaming and our spontaneous urge to indulge in more. would never forget our purchasing process at the dvd store. each bought our own out of 'fear' that we'd someday want to watch it at the same time and end up killing each other for it. 
and watching it with chita was the best (her deadpan one-liners worked wonders).
blacked out twice. after that we went back to our own rooms...
...but then litya found 'Love Song' MV. at 3am in the morning.

many t-shirt rippings happened from that moment on at future koreake sessions.

3. Burn After Reading

watched with haga kara and ata.

heavy, light, depressing, bursts of unexpected laughs, dark humor, and very--surprisingly--depressing towards the end, after the overall tone it gave us. 
all because of that part where we were caught off-guard (though it wasn't the ultimate highlight of the movie's intention, but still-).

brad pitt was awesome as hell playing a douchey idiotic but lovable character.who knew.

best part: "you fuck!"

'nuff said.

4. 3 Iron

out of all, this was the random-est.  

watched with pandya and kiki, both who, at the time i wasn't that close to (the others couldn't make it and me and kiki were bored off our asses). my first korean festival movie. fuckin disrespectful annoying ibu-ibu & bapak-bapak crowd.very beautiful movie about a guy who lives out in other peoples empty houses and instead of stealing stuff, he fixes broken items around the house as a sign of gratitude for staying the night. 

best part: 

                                       

(makes more sense in context)

5. Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy

watched with nenek at our kosan.

a random movie she had at that time and was surprisingly good but light(we were caught off guard from our first impression of the poster. we thought it was some boring sci-fi that we wouldn't understand). first time we saw zoe.

*bonus: after listing down this movie (which i haven't thought about in a while) on my manual notes, i miss-clicked this tab:

6. Shaun of the Dead

watched with haga ata and giri at haga's house one day after (high)school.

was stupidly funny--but a bit "..........." at times-- the whole way...until near the end they decided to chuck real gore shit down our throats. that was just...evil.

we were gloomy for the rest of the day.

what ifs

are both exhilarating and depressing.

only if it's uncontrollable, then it's better living without them. 

HOLY SHIT YESS

halloween

since i couldn't celebrate halloween (again) i'll just have to make do with my proudest halloween moment ever, The  Legendary Hot Dog.

happy halloween everyone! 

may your costumes be awesome, but sorry, it just can't get any more awesome then mine here *delusional*

childhood antics

we all have those unforgettable (or even recently discovered hidden chapter) childhood years that we're either proud of, can't believe happened, or just plain wish we could scrape said part from our history.

isi dong kalian tendy & lalat kalo lagi senggang! kapan2 kalo ketemu versi tulis tangannya buat koleksi eike~~ total point-nya bebas mo dikit/banyak.

boy's version of paradise/hell:
1.  my parents told me that i'm one of the poster child for hibernating bears. ayah even said that when bunda gave birth to me, i was so still the doctor thought i was dead. turned out i came out sleeping. one slap to the butt and i was bawling. 
(huh.explains why i hate hate HATE being waked up.)

2. pretends to sleep on most trips, so when we get home, i get carried inside.
(don't we all).

3. recently ayah told me that when i was about 3-4 years old, every time i didn't want to clean up my toys after playing, he'd put my most favorite ones in a (clean) trash bag, dramatically throw it in the (just cleaned) trash can, and leave the least played with for me. said my face of horror was a real kick to him. after i cleaned up then he'd return it and said he found them somewhere.

4. my first indonesian word was 'globok' (goblok). 
ayah got one of the nastiest glare my mother could summon. 

5. at the end of preschool year, they made my class (only.the others did something cooler.) do a girl-boy dance. enjoyed making the crepe-flower-paper-plate hat, repulsed by the dance, became "that-kid-who-cried-and-got-carried-off-stage" from my year.yeah. 

6. when i was 4-5 years me and bunda had a routine: at vitamin time, i get to drop them in her mouth. one day, bunda was doing her make up and postponed the routine, so i waited with her vitamins on the table. got bored, started to jab the squishy fish oil ones up my nose. shrieked with glee. turned it into a game of ''how far can you push it in then pull it out". at some point it went in too deep and got stuck. tried to pull it out by trying to flick it out with a pencil...it went deeper. waded over to bunda, "bunda your medicine went up my nose". she ran me to the hospital and payed for the most expensive 2 pieces of tissues of our life for $200. we never played that game again.

7. i was the smallest among my baby friends, so my aunties genius solution so that i won't get lost was to tie a balloon around my waist to easily  pinpoint my exact location between the 'ruckus'...in their tiny-ass home yard.

8. really loved cheongsams & poofy princess dresses as a kid. got both and wanted to wear eother one to the mall. evil aunties gave me two choices: wear them and stay home  forever or not wear them and go to the mall. went to the mall sniffling.

9. there was a period that i was exited for halloween but didn't really know what to dress up as. so for the first day of pre-halloween at my preschool my mom & aunts dressed me up as jack-in-the-box. i got pissed and decided i wanted to be a princess.

10. the next day they let me wear the damn princess costume. felt like a sissy, fucking hated it and i think i cried a little. nearly ripped off the jack-in-the-box costume my little cousin ended up wearing (that bitch).

11. my greatest childhood achievement: one halloween dressed with the most perfect costume ever, The Hot Dog.
which friends insisting that said costume is a different being altogether, ranging from  a butterfly, a banana and a peanut.

12. was the classic 2B pencil the next year. complete with the pink eraser for a hat.

when my uncle visits,

he brings his precious xbox.

good timing though, really needed the attraction~

happy birthday tendyyy~~~

hope your next venture in your life would be more awesome and exciting then the last ya :B!

tapi tetep jadi our tendy yg masih idiot dan sesekali nyemplung kubangan tentunya.

HAHAHA-

"and this is how i broke something in my body"

(Gradually growing) Old people are so cute sometimes and I say that with love.
 
1. "Ndra, Bang Bugie (his cousin) kemaren uratnya kejepit gara-gara main golf! Ayah baru aja diminta tolong telp Bu Mamiek buat ngurut besok." 
"How old is he btw?"
"He's 65."

2. "Tapi masih untung ga kaya Ayah dulu pas kejepit juga uratnya, lebih lama sakitnya."
"Oh yang Ayah main tennis 2 tahun lalu ya?"
"No that was my dislocated shoulder."
"Wait, how did your urat got kejepit then?"
"Itu lho, pas dulu kita masih tinggal di Buncit. Yang Ayah lagi nyisirin Rolly sambil duduk-duduk di lantai, trus pas muterin badan pengen liat TV pinggang Ayah tiba-tiba sakit banget. I didn't tell Bunda for almost a week."
"Lah terus gimana akhirnya ke Bu Mamiek?"
"Akhirnya ketauan sama Bunda gara-gara pas bangun pagi dia liat Ayah ngerayap di lantai dari kasur gara-gara ga bisa jalan, sakit banget."
"Ah."

3. "Wait, terus yang 5 years ago-ish pernah ketarik pinggangnya sampe Ayah bela-belain pulang dari proyekan luar kota tuh kenapa?"
"Oh itu gara-gara Ayah ikutan main sepak bola pas 17 Agustusan."


(after telling the story of Bang Bugie to my uncle, Arlan (he's 43.),when he stopped by today)

 4. "Iya nih, I think I need her too, I just pulled a muscle yesterday playing basket ball."
"Wait, then how the hell did you manage to get here driving, ga sakit tuh?"
"Sakit banget, makanya dari tadi tegak terus jalannya."

5. "My friend has it worse tho. Padahal orangnya cuma main Tennis Gembira aja...eeeh bantalan antara tulang sum-sum nya pecah dong. Langsung dilariin ke Singapore buat di jejelin bantalan buatan."
"The hell..."

6. "Oh terus ada juga yang lebih parah. Lagi main jetski di Bali tiba-tiba kelempar, trus entah gimana caranya jetskinya terbang trus it fell flat on his back. Langsung dilariin helicopter ke SOS"
"Holy crap! When did this happen?? How old is your friend?"
"A couple of months ago and he's my age."
"Eh, ini orang yang sama ato beda sama yg tennis?"
"Sama."
"Damn...Well thank goodness he's rich then."


You just gotta love those cerita "opa-opa" yang sok tau~

"therapy" & reward

I seriously love pulling out weeds every once in a while, especially when it rains after.

Very calming and helps tone down that OCD part of mine, also to practice on focusing.
