Its the attack of the Dorama

I am currently obsessed with Oguri Shun.
He’s this japanese actor who you might recognize in the people-version of the Detective Conan movie, and the guy who played Hanazawa Rui in HYD. I know its really cheesy and totally, like, 3 years too late. But, after I did some internet researching, turns out the dude’s not just a bimbo with a pretty face in the Japanase entertainment industry. He’s got some cool credentials, even though he never graduated high school. Its nice to know there are Asian people that we can look up to.

Skins.

Its this new series that I’ve been watching. I might actually be quite left behind, seeing as how they’re already starting season 4, and I’ve only just started.

Anyways, the series revolves around the lives of one gang of teenagers in England, and the tagline is, They’re just your average teenagers. or something like that. Its basically about the same things that you could possibly imagine in teenage series; boyfriends, girlfriends, getting backstabbed, stepfathers who are 5 years older than you, that kind of stuff. But what really kept me on the hook was the breathtaking fashion sense, alarming amount mascara and eye make-up on the girls, and of course, the Brittish accents. I’ve been watching without subtitles, and at first it was rather annoying, but I think I sort of got the hang of it.

Albeit, they do have a lot of swearing, and nudity. It fits with the title of the series, I guess. But thats not the main focus of it. Its just nice to see something thats not totally polished with sets that have matching pillow cases and eternal happy endings. Well, just once in a while. Then after too much Skins, I just turn on the tv and swith to Disney Channel.

Wish List

I’m watching Big Bang Theory. Its HILARIOUS. Its about the two nerds, Sheldon Cooper and Leonard Hoffstaeder, who are really kooky, and the story starts when a pretty blond named Penny who works as a waitress in a coffee shop nearby (the Cupcake Factory) moves in the apartment next to theirs. Its really funny when they start to highlight the differences between Leonard and Sheldon, and Penny. Penny is really outgoing and normal, and Leonard and Sheldon are really geeky. They like playing laser-tag spy lunch (where they put up lasers like those spies when they’re stealing an important government gadget) and they have to avoid the lasers to get to a box of pizza on the other side of the lasers. They speak very eleqountly and its really funny. I can’t describe it. You just have to watch it for yourself.
My favorite part is when Sheldon Cooper is folding clothes. He uses a board!

And I’m also really interested in Sheldon’s t-shirts. They’re all so comic-ish and colourful and pop-art. I looked up his t-shirts online and there is actually a website (http://www.sheldonshirts.com/sheldon2.html)that you can buy it from! One of the items on the website was this really cute hoodie.

I am officially in love with it.

shoes

so it has caught my attention that i seem to be wearing the same shoes over and over again for the last couple of months.
therefore, i’ve decided to get some new shoes!
i bought some store-bought ones, but there was a certain shoe idea that caught my eye.
there are these shoes that you can customize to be painted with pictures! i dont know since how long theyve been around but they seem pretty cute..
if i made some, i’d want them to be painted like this:

from puma i think

the shoes that can be painted are Vans-like, and i dont know how it’ll look on my feet. you know, some kind of feet look good in one kind of shoe but look horribly wrong in another kind of shoe. like mine, for instance.

things to do today:

- start working on my term paper for Service Marketing

- go to Grapari Telkomsel to find out what i need to make a new Halo number

- sleep.

i was browsing facebook in peace, when i read my name on a note from ical. hyaaaaa dikirimin postingan-blog berantai. yasuuw daripada kenapa-napa, mulailah usi mengarang indah..

1. cant speak indonesian

yg udah kenal usi agak lumayan lama pasti tau klo usi pernah lupa bahasa indonesia SAMA SEKALI berhubung SD di luar, jadi maklum saja klo lagi ngomong apaa gitu, trus tiba2 berenti ngomong trus, “duh, apa sih bahasa indonesianya, lupa”. habis, bagi usi lebih sulit ngomong bahasa indonesia, harus mikir dulu dikit baru bisa ngomong, haha

2. obsessive compulsive disorder

when i want it, i have to get it, right away, contoh yg paling baru adalah tiba2 usi ngidem kangkung terasi dengan amat sangat, dan menelpon semua org yg kira2 tau tempat makan yang punya menu kangkung. i cant help it. when i want something, i have to do everything i possibly can to get it, before i give up. kalo ga gitu, blum bisa pasrah dan menyerah dengan hati tenang..

3. i cant say NO

whenever someone asks me to do something or go somewhere, if there is even the teensiest possibility that i can fit it into my schedule, i say YES. of course, this usually means that i end up doing a lot of stuff and with a really packed schedule, running here and there trying to fulfill all my promises. unfortunately, kadang-kadang ada janji yang ga sempet dipenuhi dan jadinya malah mengecewakan org yang bersangkutan, maaf ya bagi yg pernah ^^

4. disney channel

anak-anak kosan, anak-anak tutor, atau yg pernah ngobrolin gosip artis bareng, atau yg pernah k kosan usi, pasti TAU, this is my over-grown obessesion. i know its for little kids, or at least tweenies or something, tapi menurut usi menonton disney channel itu sangat menenangkan. they have some pretty cool cartoons, and everyone could do with a little more happiness and cheer, like in the disney channel where the Totally Spies team always manages to save the day, or laugh at Selena Gomez’s geeky on-screen brother, or just simply watching something that will always have a happy ending. it soothes me.

5. world-class procrastinator

Procrastinate, according to the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary, it is defined as to put off intentionally the doing of something that should be done. and that is exactly what i do. i cant help it. its second-nature to me. if i dont like doing something, like, lets say, tugas besar Corporate Finance, ngerjain tugasnya itu diundur-undur (dengan bermain Pet Society) sampe tinggal 3 jam, padahal tu tugas terdiri dari berhalaman-halaman excel yg ribet dan analisa tiada ujung. akhirnya usi malah heboh dan panik sendiri dan seringkali terpaksa pasrah dengan kerjaan yang seadanya.

6. cant remember my own schedule

this is not something im proud of. pelupa parah, apalagi tentang masalah jadwal kuliah. tanyakan saja pada okkychan, yg dengan rutin setiap sore atau malam hari pasti usi tanyain, “ky, FAC besok jam berapa?” or, “ky, MA jam 7 kan?” i dont know why i cant remember it, the class and its hour just cant stick in my head.

7. notebooks

i LOVE notebooks. big ones, small ones, preferably ones that are thin but have really big spirals. i dont know why, but i sort of blame this tv show that my sister and i used to watch when we were in Ames, it was called The Big Comfy Couch, and the main star of the show would write clues in a tiny notebook with HUGE rings. i guess it got me obsessed. sekarang, untuk melihat hasil obsesi usi pada notebook, lihat saja lemari buku dan lemari meja belajar, buku2 tulis (yang belum dipake) dengan beraneka ragam sampul dan ukuran, berjejeran kayak mw jualan.

8. laptop trauma

if i bring a laptop with me, you will see me dragging it around with me, everywhere i go, all day. klo pun berat, charger atau batere nya usi simpan dulu di tempat yang aman, tapi laptop nya tetep digendong ksana kemari. ini karena dulu pernah ada kejadian ga menyenangkan, dimana usi cukup BODOH menyimpan laptop di mobil, di kursi shotgun pula (bagi yg blum tau, itu kursi disebelah kursi pengemudi) dan meninggalkan mobil to have lunch). tentulah org yang ga kuat nahan napsu, langsung memecahkan kaca jendela dan whooosh! my laptop is gone. nah semenjak itu, usi trauma meninggalkan apapun di mobil dan markir mobil di tempat yang ga ada penjaganya. a big no-no.

9. flip handphones

i really really like clam-shell handphones, the ones you have to flip open. dunno why. mungkin karena kebanyakan nonton film barat atau dorama or whatever yang orang2nya banyak yang pake hape flip. if u’ve noticed, hape usi dua2nya (yang satu Halo yang satu Flexi) model flip, walopun yang hape GSM sudah selayaknya pensiun karena udah lumayan butut tapi ga sampe ati soalnya udah terlanjur pewe dan melekat di hati. bagi usi, lebih berseni dan kerasa pake hape-nya klo pake yang model flip, daripada bentuk candybar biasa. hmmm what do you think?

10. noisy = annoying

i get really annoyed at people who chew loudly. maybe they themselves cant hear it, tapi bagi usi suara orang yang ngunyah berisik itu lumayan mengganggu sampe pengen nutup kuping rasanya. i was brought up to think that food should not be seen nor heard jadi agak lumayan ngeselin dengerin suara orang ngecap kaya sapi. hehe maap ya klo ada yg ngerasa. ini ga ditujukan ke orang tertentu kok, just in general..

i guess that’s all. sayangnya, orang2 yang tadinya mw usi tag, udah terlanjur bikin. huhuu.. yasuw..
