~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.

~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.

angin membawa kata

bait-bait puisi cinta tak berbalas
larik-larik indah tak bersambut
jejaka-jejaka muda bersenandung
apa yang ingin mereka sampaikan
apakah sepi. sedih. atau harapan.


nada-nada elok pembuai tidur
tak dapat lagi terdengar
dari tempatku di sisi langit
rindu padanya, pada mereka
yang hanya bernyanyi tanpa berbalas


disini sunyi.sepi.senyap
sayang ikan-ikan tak dapat bersuara
akan kudapatkan sebuah resital pribadi
rengguk mereka yang terlanjur tertancap dalam-dalam
tak dapat hilang dan lupa lagi
kutukannya telah sempurna
jadilah aku aurora tak tertidur, pemakai sepatu merah yang terus menari


nyanyian. puisi. suara merdu
aku rindu..
mereka. gitar. dan buaian pengantar tidurku
ingin kutangkap. kumasukkan sangkar. kujadikan beburungan berkicau milikku.
hanya milikku...

Stumble into my old writing.

Decide to post it here. It's in my native language, so sorry that I can't translate it.

The poem is about some youngsters who always sings way into the night below my window, making their songs as the last thing I heard before resting. After I move to another place, I find that I can't seem to sleep peacefully. It seems that I missed them. This verse just come out of nowhere when I'm frustrated of the lack of sleep.

作詞：shogo.k     作曲：shogo.k いくつもの季節が過ぎて あの日が思い出に変わる どこかに置いてきたままの 自分が僕を睨みつける 時計の針は進むから それでも明日は来るから 逃げてばかりじゃいられない 立ち止まっててもいられない 飛び出した町を背にして 華やいだ街の明かりに 飲み込まれそうで恐いけど 晴れた空の向こうに 君を思い出してた きっと今の僕が歌えるのは あの日君に逢えたから 夢中で追いかけた夢は 遠くに浮かぶ雲のように 掴んだ指の隙間から こぼれ落ちて消えちゃいそうで 溢れだす涙の訳も 輝いたあの一瞬も どこにも嘘などないけど 明けた空の向こうに 君を思い出してた きっと今の僕も映る景色も どこか寂しげに見えて… 晴れた空の向こうに 君を思い出してた きっと今の僕が歌えるのは あの日君に逢えたからなんだよ もしもどこかで君が明日に怯えるなら 僕が道を示す光になろう そんな歌届けにいこう 青すぎる空を越えて

Reason for this post: I want to sing along while listening to the song but I can't find their Romaji lyric anywhere >.<
