For Moo Cow

Annoying Sis

So this is how it started…

It was a nice evening, as usual we were there in her room watching TV (I don’t have TV in my room, yes…4 rooms in this house and mine is the only room left with no TV!), she’s just finished with her printing when I saw an ad about CDMA phone that reminded me to mom’s CDMA phone.

Ian, my 2 year old brother, threw it into the toilet bowl and it’s officially broken and out of order since then. She took the phone and found somebody who said he’d fix the phone soon (it happened like 2 or 3 months back!).

Me : So what happen with mom’s phone?
Her : The repair guy said they don’t have the component and will have to wait till he get it if we want to have it fixed
Me : It’s been a very long time, why don’t you take it back?
Her : Do you wanna fix it yourself? (starting to lose control and scream), it’s expensive anywhere else! This is the cheapest guy I found and he still can’t find the component he needs!!
Me : (surprised why she raised her voice tone but kinda enjoying making her sick about me, so I decided playing dumb) Yeah…I know…but why don’t you take it back from him? Why would you let the phone stay there with some stranger for a long long time?
Her : Do you wanna fix it? I told you he needs his god damn component!!
Me : I know what he needs! All I am asking you is...take the phone back coz it’s been more than 2 months and he didn’t call you and you’re not checking anything about it and we barely know him. Don’t you think it’s strange? Why don’t you take it back?
Her : Let him wait for that damn thing, I don’t care for how long! What can you do anyway? The phone is broken…there’s nothing you can do about it!
Me : Well…in that case…I think it’s better to have the phone back, and I prefer to let Ian throw the phone million times more than letting a stranger keeps your phone!
Her : Fine! You wanna take it? Take it yourself! F#@$!@#%$$%$Q#@!# .... and the swears go on…

So she turned her back and block my view to the TV and I was like….WOW!! What’s got into her? I was just asking her nicely and she snapped at me, yelling at me with her overtoned voice like I was asking her about something so bad!

Do you think I’m wrong? Geesh…and this is our 2nd day not talking to her anymore…mom told me maybe she was pissed, but after lots of fights…I think I she owe me an apology…if it wasn’t the same night my dad came back from the hospital after a heart attack surgery, maybe I’d scream back at her!

Now she’s cleaning all my stuff that are in her room, I believe any time soon she’ll kick all my thing out and let them all scattered on the floor in front of my bed room door. Just after it all happens…she’d come to my roon and search of all her belongings here, every drawer and wardrobe and left my room messy after the searching…

She owes me an apology!

Arm, Cleavage and Narcism

What do you think about this picture? I took it couple of months back when I was in the hospital taking care of my Grannie. I spent the night there, and this was taken a few hours before I sleep on the sofa in my grannie’s room.

I loved how my arm looks there, thinner. I tot it’s because of the bodyPump class, shaping arms and bottoms… the thing is…

When I show it to my friend, he noticed the arm thing. He told me it looked thinner there, but when my sister saw it, she thought it’s not showing my arm that much, instead it showed lot’s of cleavage! Ggrrr…

So start your vote now people!

Annoying Ads

Well…pernah ga liat beberapa iklan dan kita langsung ngerasa aneh dan pengen protes terus bawaannya? Di bawah ini ada beberapa iklan yang bikin at least aku ngerasa begitu

Fresh Tea School version
Inget ga iklan Fresh Tea ini? Di iklan ini ada 2 cowok badung yang dengan jahilnya menyedot Fresh Tea milik 2 cewek yang sibuk ngobrol di kantin tepat di bawah mereka. Yang bikin aku protes?
What the heck are they doing up there? Itu tempat apaan sih? Gudang? Kok terlalu bersih untuk gudang yah? Kok ga keliatan ada tangga ya? Mereka lewat mana naiknya? Bawa-bawa selang lagi? Niat banget sih ngisengin temen-temen mereka?
For the 2 girls…lucu juga sih idenya mindahin selang dari botol the ke tempat sambel…tapi kenapa sih kalian tetep aja minum teh yang udah lebih dulu diminum orang? Ya ampun…itu kan banyak kumannya? Jijai banget sih? Kalian kan ga tau siapa yang minum? Gimana kalo itu psycho penyakitan? Please deh!! Ga punya duit apa buat beli yang baru?

Avia Paint Malin Kundang Version
Iklan ini konyol sekali. Apa sih maksudnya? Merantau kan untuk kebaikan juga? Masa pulang cuman gara-gara kangen sama rumah yang di cat pake avia
Paint? Mending kalo dia kangen sama ibunya. Kalah deh emaknya sama Avia Paint!

Bagus Nina Tampon
Aduh…yang ini paling amit-amit deh! Aku ga terlalu peduli sama konsep iklannya, tapi jingle iklannya ini lo…catchy sekaligus annoying sekali. Inget kan? “Bagus Nina Bagus Nina tipis abis…”, mana yang nyanyi suaranya cempreng lagi…aduh…merah kuping dengerinnya!

Mm…I’m sure bukan cuman aku aja yang sebel sama beberapa ad yang ga masuk akal kaya begini…itu tadi cuman beberapa iklan yang bikin aku sebel aja…kalo kalian punya iklan-iklan lain yang nyebelin, please…let me know!

Three Hours with Fabio

I love Fabio! He is one of the Brazillian trainers in Celebrity Fitness. Compared to Rafael he looks older and bigger, but still…he is my fave trainer!

Rafael is the cute macho hunk type, if you know what I mean…tall and slim figure, muscular body and the six packs on his tummy, young, full of energy and spirit. He’s the type of guy that supports us, people who wanna drop some kilos off, by giving us extra work out or adding more weight to our pump on BodyPump class. Military style…

Fabio is the mature type. He’s slightly bigger and shorter than Rafael, big neck, big muscular biceps, and big flat tummy with the 6packs too…which is more to my type of guy. He’s one of those who always remind us to put safety first, making sure the beginner do the easy option and not giving up on the 1st class. He did make me stay there for my 1st time, a combination of a good looking man with bad Englis and goofy and silly humor always do the trick for me.

Scene 1: RPM Studio, 9AM-10AM
Fabio led the indoor cycling group. He kept talking in a not-so-perfect English with his latino accent.

Me, watching him in the front row covered with sweats. My feet sored and I was trying hard to catch my breath, but that big sweaty neck…oh gawd!! So sexy!

Scene 2 : Studio 1, BodyPump Class, 10AM-11AM
Fabio…”Keep on going! 1…2…3…Satu…Dua…Tiga…ganti. This is good for your biceps! Look at mine…light please”, he showed off his well built biceps with a tribal tattoo on the right inside arm acting silly taking some pose as if he’s in a body building competition.

Me…Omigod! Look at this adorable creature…look at those arms…look at those fab abs…mmm…yummy!

Scene 3: Yoga Studio, Body Balace class, 11AM-12PM
Fabio…he’s making a yoga posture called greeting the sun (something like that). “Imagine you are sitting on an imaginary chair, strecth your butt to the back and balance…now reach your arm up high like you greet the sun”

Me…geesh…he’s got a nice pair of butts!! How old is he? Can I get that firm bottoms when I reach his age? They look so firm…Can I just get his butts now? What??

.....

Yes guys! I am on my PMS days! Blame it to that weird hormonal activity! It's controlling my mind!

Sleeping Cool

I used to think there’s nobody can sleep cool. I mean…how can you manage to stay cool in your sleep? You can look silly in your sleep, you can look cute in your sleep you can look so innocent…but it’s hard to look cool when you’re sleeping!

Look around you…when you find somebody’s sleeping…just take a while to observe their faces. You can see different facial expression, in my opinion I can categorised it into 4 kinds…

Innocent sleeper
This is somebody who sleeps innocently, like your baby or someone who is so tired. They usually have this innocent face as if they are free from sins so peaceful and tranquil. I dropped a few tears while watching my baby brother or parents sleep. I dunno why…

Beautiful sleeper
This is people with the ability of looking so cute even in their sleeps. You can find it mostly in your lover’s. When you watch them sleep, you just cant stop adoring them and take a memory picture in the back of your head to remember how beautiful they are to you.

Awful sleeper
This kind of sleepers simply just do annoying stuff in their sleep. Like me for example, i don’t have good track record in sleeping. I snore when I sleep. My friends told me I do that, not that loud, but you can’t just let it slips away from your ears. My sleeping report also includes my kicking habit and talking nonsense in my sleep.

Geographic sleeper
They are so into geography! They hit their sack in the night with an open mout and voila…they wake up with a world map on their pillow. So artistic! Can somebody stop them from drooling please!!!! I know a drop dead gorgeous friend who is a geographic sleepers, she had Australia continent on her pillow when we were in Yogya trip!

Until one day…I saw my baby bro, Ian, slept. So peaceful and innocent, yet looking so kewl in his own way. I sense some dignity and pride there when I see his pictures…I changed my mind…There is a cool sleeper!!

Mehndi

I found a pack of mehndi powder in my drawer. It was a gift from my ex, I thought i’ve used all the powder for my last hair coloring (which was a total failure). I felt so happy sice I really wanna do some henna tattoo on my palm and sole after seeing Carol’s, the girl from Celebrity Fitnes.

This is my design, kinda made it up in the last minute after giving up the beautiful design I got from the web search (the design was too complicated, beautiful but complicated!). Anybody want to have mehndi tattoo?? Just contact me…I’ll be happy to help you!

Cheers…

Pretty Prita

• I just finished a novel from Andrei Aksana (Gramedia Book Fair, on sale with 20% discount) called Pretty Prita. It’s kewl really. I mean…good cover, I get free CD inside the book and a post card with pretty good-looking guy who happens to be the author.
  
  It’s about a man who is too alergic with girlish stuff. He always complains about his girl spending so much time on dressing up and make up, he is not into accompanying his girlfriend for shopping or body treatment in a salon or simple doesn’t get what is the connection with girls and novels! Till one day, his girlfriend made a wish to let him know what was it like to be a girl…voila…our hero Farell turned into Prita (now should we call it our heroine?) and would be free from the curse till he enjoyed his girlish life.
  
  Nice? Indeed! Just imagine a sexy babe with a guy soul inside? He got to feel the soar feet after whole day in her high heels, taste the pain of waxing her leg and ahem…some other part…and learn how to put on make up to attract guys.
  
  It’s very entertaining if you need a light reading book, no heavy stuff. The plot is just flowing like a river and it bring smiles to your face as you turn the pages.
  
  There are just several things in that book that really bothers me…
  
  When he woke up in the morning and finding himself with a pair of breast and loosing his manhood, Farell or Prita had to attend a meeting in 30mins. He was so confused seeing all the changes. No more minimalist design, instead it’s full of pinkish stuff and feminine touch, his maly car now become a Honda Jazz.. I suppose he should be confused…if everything changed, should nt he get a new office? But how come he knows his new office? Nobody give him the new office address and he reached the place right in time…how is it possible?
  
  There are some scene in the book where Prita still feel like a man, once she got slapped for touching a girl’s boobies and got herself to a cold war with her colleague because she kissed her on her lips. I mean…if she still have the urge for boobies, why not looking at her own ones? Isn’t it strange? You have a pair of it attached to your body and all you have to do is standing up in front of the mirror and do your full body examination, right? I just don’t get it why Prita prefer to get slapped if she can take a closer look at her own breasts?
  
  Then Prita finally met her Mr Right. Okay…she kissed a girl, touched boobies and felt attracted to Mr Right? Isn’t she suppose to be feeling awkward having a relationship with male? Since she’s not really a female…but she hit it off with him from the very start without any awfull weird feeling. So strange…
  
  Well…other than that…I still think it’s a good book, and I’d still recommend it to you for a lazy weekend reading, for man who wants to know how it’s like to be a girl and for girl who wants to know what’s inside a male’s mind!! And FYI it’s in Indonesian
  
  So just go to the nearest bookstore and grab it! I’m so open for good book recommendation guys…feel free to write me the list!
