Decided to close this blog, because let's admit it, I don't have an interest in it anymore.


I'll leave the lyrics because I spent many times on it and some people might find it useful.

I won't delete my blogger account yet, simply because I still use it sometimes.


As for all the friends I got from blogger. See you around guys ^^


So, I re-open the blog...

~ just like your another normal day!

I was visiting my family last week. It's been a while since the last time I met them (read: a Year), so I won't be surprised if there would be a big home-welcoming (I was hopeful, mind you). Imagine my disappointment at the same old lack-of-reaction my family gives me. They picked me up at the airport with the altogether-bland-look like it's a routine occasion and I just back from visiting the neighbors. I'm sorry if I do not feel the love.

The week passed by very quickly and uneventfully. It's a high time for the flu season and I'm no superhuman, I guess sickness do lower our energy and our motivation to socialize. I spent my time resting, eating, gaming, resting, lazing around, resting, and being the perfect introvert that I am. I'm back to Jakarta with only a few increased-on miscellany goods (a request from a few people) and looks no worse for wear.

I think it's a problem of choosing a "proper time". A week before I schedule to came home, my mother departed to Mecca for Haji. For the record I'm happy to contribute that I met her at the airport, and she greets me with the Usual heartwarming hug, makes me wonder if she is the only extrovert in the house and the obvious lack of her make us the most awkward and standoffish bunch of blood-related-people around.

I think I'll consider my time-management for my next visit, so these thing won't happen again.

I guess, I'm finish with the ranting and now on to some interesting facts: I only found out about the Daylight Saving Time Today! Yeah, I live in the equator and my country never observed it and I always see a notice about it in Every website that I Visited during the past months and the past years... :sigh: I just feels shame that I never bother about many things in life.

Yet another interesting fact, there's a thing called Computer Zone Time. And it differs about 193 seconds from the Local Standard Time. I now knew the reason why I always have another 3 minutes more to get ready after spending so much time in front of the computer every morning.


~fin. Total time consumption: approximately an hour and a half for both typing and editing. I hope there would be only a small amount of grammar mistakes (but I won't count on it) XD.

~spare time + Creativity = Something useful

A few months ago, I read about something called terrariums and see many different kinds of it. The glass terrariums made by litill are very pretty and cute although it costs quite expensive (cost from US$ 125 to US$ 800). I, then, decide to made it myself. The main point is the container which made from glass as to make a beautiful appearance.


I start with a single plant in glass. Using black chaff and little white stones.
The glasses are the very cheap ones, just make sure it has a nice shape. It range from IDR 2.ooo to IDR 20.ooo, the huge aquarium-like-glass though cost quite a lot (IDR 25.ooo to IDR 60.ooo). We can find the little stones from the flower-replica-shop (IDR 5.ooo per bag). And with only IDR 10.ooo you can get a sack of black chaff, more than enough to build a house (I'm kidding ;p). Coincidentally theres a Plants-Fair near the office, the cute cacti and some little flower only cost IDR- 5.ooo to 20.ooo.

You can made something just like the picture above with only IDR 12.ooo to IDR 25.ooo

The finally done glass terrariums by combining three kinds of plants to make a little garden. Cost from IDR 65.ooo to IDR 100.ooo

~recognizing yourself by analyzing your psyche

I was bored yesterday and decided why not do some browsing?
That's where this post comes in. I got a mail from my friend about this Jungian-type personality test. While I'm not a stranger to Jungian, I haven't found a decent test of it. The test turns out it to be quite entertaining. If you want to try it, just click here.

The last time I take Jungian-test, I was The Analytical Thinking-type or INTP, now it seems that I became The Individualistic Doer-type or the ISTP. So, I used to be this reserved-unsociable-arrogant self who's clumsy in love. And now, apparently, I'm an optimistic-venturesome-confident person who only love herself. I won't know if it's an accomplishment or not ;p
And for amusement-sake here are second opinion on your general traits and some funny crack about the Junggy.

Total time consumption: 30 minutes!!! But I actually need at least two weeks to finally decide on what to write, talk about massive blog's block >.<

~dorama reccomendations

So, because I want to post a thread here and I don't think that I watch a lot of movies to be that knowledgeable, and then thinking why not made a thread about something that I actually know? Here it is a list of dorama that I've watched.

1. Mr. Brain
Why should you watch this? It has Takuya Kimura as a main actor. There's a bunch of bishies and bishoujos flaunted in each episode. The plot is quite interesting and still enjoyable although you probably would guess the plot.

2. Galileo
A detective story that reminds me a little of KATOU Motohiro's mangas (probably because the main character is such a weirdo :sweatdrop: ). Really caught my attention from the first episode, but the further I watch the bored I become, I end up not knowing the ending.

3. Dragon Zakura
I'm not saying that this is good, but still I watched it till the end. Although don't blame me if I skip some of the episodes.

4. Buzzer Beat
This is one dorama that I actually watched from the beginning until the end without skipping any of the episodes. It's full of half-naked bishies and water-scene, I mean like beaches and ofuros.

5. Bloody Monday
I stop after 10 minutes into the first ep., I prefer the manga.

6. Attention Please!
Stopped after the third episodes, it's getting boring.

7. Good Luck
Pretty interesting, but still I got bored in the middle of it. Skipped.

8. Lunch Queen
I skipped here and there but I still watched it. It's still ongoing in episode 12 now. A very funny dorama with some recipe and hella weird romance relationship.

9. Mop Girl
I like the main actress, she's so cute. Watched it till episode 6 and still not continuing until now.

10. One Litre of Tears
I think I watched it 3 years ago, and I vaguely remember that I actually didn't skip any of the episodes (probably because I watched with my friends, and they don't appreciate skipping something when they want to hold a weeping-fest).

11. Kurosagi
The very first of dorama that I watched through computer by copying it from my friend. So very interesting and intriguing. Watched till the end and without skipping at all. I even watched The Movie of it or something.

12. Kamen Rider Decade
Till episodes 14 or something, I forgot, would continue it soon.

13. Kamen Rider Double
Till episode 10 and still don't have the drive to continue it.

14. Densha Otoko (thanks to Saurabhalab)
One of the dorama that I love. It has that geek-ish feels that would always make you rolled your eyes. So very brilliant (I've read the manga, but I still prefer to watch the dorama), with a very long list of guest stars list, who would always doing something ridiculous you can't stop laughing at them. Watching this dorama gives me the feeling, that although I'm like a living Nodame, my very own Chiaki would soon appear in front of me, hopefully~~

I don't hate movie, anime or dorama, I just don't like to watch something period. I don't like the notions that the pace is set by other people, that's why I prefer to read manga. I can stop and fast-forwarding it if it gets boring. Watching anime is such a hassle for me if the pace is slow, I just keep skipped through it. Remember that this is not a rec, this is just some list of dorama that I've watched.
