addictive finds

saw this while mindlessly channel surfing (like the video, too bad the live version wasn't too good for the guy in the middle), reminded me of the song my friend Giri played awhile ago which i liked (but forgot about), but sounded kinda different...

...turns out it was a cover for this one. and that it went mainstream a couple of moths ago (Giri must be pissed. he's those guys who refuses most mainstream things.ahahah)

'Kimbra' also rang a bell, and i remembered that my other friend Astrid found her a couple of months ago but forgot all about it (the video was around from a year ago though). i've only listen to some of her songs, but i only like some of them, including this one (i love this one).

pas banget: 'ibu' (Astrid) sama 'anak' (Giri) emang sama aja suka nemu yang oke2.
ahahaha

i'm a sucker for these categories of food book covers (or book covers in general)

*from twitches > library.nu food covers ohcrapi'vebeensuckedin.

series of themes, background stories (history, duh)



that home-cooking feel


splashes of bold contrast colors



categorized, described details. ingredient spotlight
.

textures and stamp effects. ethnic culture symbol references.



clean/bold/sketchy illustrations.

bonus :D!

threats.

so now i have to worry about a bursting blood vessel.

and keeping her from saying the unwanted.

splendid, what fun.

silver year

*(literally) last minute gift. took about  3-5 hours before d-day to final select the pics - ensemble - stick on. 
so sorry for the lack of decor, i'll get you guys a nice frame later on~

jemput kain & mrs.fields

Went to Cinere Mall to meet up with my friend and pick up my fabric for her wedding...
1. Gramedia. An unknown book section.

Then my friend told me to look besides those books above...there was a whole batch of any kind of fanbook of any korean group you can think of.
Couldn't bring myself to take a picture, too horrendous.

2. Choosing random channel to leave the dogs with (we're about to go out).got to Channel[V], lagi acara Videoscope: SM Entertainment...pas lagi "Shupaman".ah.

3. Got home. Saw notification. Clicked it.

===========================================================

Finally tried out Mrs. Field choco chip cookie at Gandaria City.
Verdict: so-so taste, pasty-grainy half-baked (not in a good way) texture, weird aftertaste that didn't leave me craving for a dozen after, cost Rp.9.000,-/cookie.
Buy 6 then get 20% discount = Rp.45.000,- (Rp.7.500,-.which is closer to the real price).

Why do Indonesians insist on turning most things that get imported here into crap?
Hope the (tiny ass) muffin turns out better when I try it tomorrow.

**Bonus: saw this absurd being on a wall near Tony Roma's...ahahaha ngaco

a perfect example of "what comes, goes"

In terms of good luck and bad luck here.

The Good
I got a sudden sms from my uncle telling me that MRS. FIELDS IS AVAILABLE IN JAKARTA.
and just to kick my 'pride' in the gut, the closest venue is in Gandaria City of all places.
ahahaha ironically I just read my friends' post about her being greatful for once for the load of malls we have in Jakarta, thinking,"Meh, I still don't like the recent amount of (unneeded) malls being built. But I will someday appreciate some of them with clear uses".
Apparently today was that 'someday'.dammit.
Still though, better then going all the way to Singapore.hahaha

The Beyond Bad
I don't understand how people could be so brutally barbaric. Sadistic and heartless.
First it was the news I got a while back of that dick of a child/children with his/her/their motherfucking pigload of parents that fed a firecracker to a dog. After only hearing it from my friend, I just had to stumble upon the picture of that poor being on facebook. My friend had to help pry my shaking hands of the monitor and mouse so he can help delete the person who re-post the pic's notifications from my wall.

At first I was enraged because how dare that person post such a graphic picture for the world to see and not get banned by the site? But on the other hand, maybe such a raw graphic slap in the face is what the world needs? I don't know, but there has to be a way to state your cause but not be that brutal...

Soon after, I saw the 'initiating' of a coming-of-age ritual of a certain country by mass-slaying a rare breed of dolphins, while being cheered on by spectators while the poor things drowned in the blood-soaked sea (*I'll get my facts straight next time). I seriously don't know what to think of the human race anymore, seeing things like these. And this is mostly just the tip of the iceberg (had to use that) of what's being broadcast to the public. Imagine all the shit going down that we don't know of.

Then a couple minutes ago I stumbled onto another case of cruelty to dogs somewhere in Indonesia, and there were four pic's this time...I removed that persons notification as well.

I just hope the animal rights regulation that JAAN's been pushing forward actually gets realized. Only then can we really put a stop on these extreme acivities. Even though the chances are low in this shit of a country, in terms of the strength of the law, and that this isn't a familiar issue that the majority of my country deems important, I seriously hope this works out.

hello internet, long time no mindless browse

as a 'punishment' for not having 'visit' for some time, it presents me with these little beauties:

give me ten reasons as to why i would want to grab those looks.

that's it? of course not.
went on a ANTM pic-browsing spree and encountered this abomination:

check out 'daddy's' detail description for that extra kick.

awesome fun.
