~cynic shrine

A cynic is a man who, when he smells flowers, looks around for a coffin.

that quote by H. L. Mencken change my life. So, I made this shrine to collect any form of cynical phrases from everywhere I can find and hopefully it would turn to be a dictionary someday.

Charisma. The force by which a person may be inexcusably rude without earning any harsh remarks.

from a fic by Libek titled Exposure (with a slight variation).

Pity. A useless emotion. It helps no one and the one who receives it feels no better about it.  

 from a fic by Hic Iacet Mori titled Yours for an Hour (with a slight variation).

Prince and Princess. Royalty who has a right reserved to be routinely locked in towers.

from a fic by Vermillion Lies titled Just Like Magic! (with a slight variation).

 Sarcasm. A watered-down way to say a word as to not offend others.

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

Another thanks to: rikai-chan Firefox add-ons and 3131 for the Kanji lyric

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
