Lucky

Hillary Clinton 


Shopaholic and Sister 

These are the two books that i borrowed from NYPL on saturday. I am a fan of shopaholic's author. I was about to wait until the paperback version is out but lucky me, i found it at the library so now i paid nothing..hehe..
Years ago, i had this book "It Takes A Village" by Hillary Clinton and loved it so much. I am also a fan of her, but not her husband tho..haha...
Anyhoo, i had a good time at the library that day..:P

I watched this kids' movie " shark tale" by myself on sunday. It was a good movie. Man, how lucky kids these days. I never had a chance to watch a movie-cartoon when i was a kid ( well, the world didn't have one, to be exact).
On my way home, i went to Mcdonald's to get sandwiches for my sis and her husband. While waiting for my order, the cashier took another order of a mother and her daughter. So the conversation went like this :
Cashier : " how many pieces of nuggets do you want ?"
Daughter : " 6 pieces "
Cashier : " you want coke, orange juice or apple juice ?"
Daugher : " coke "
Cashier : " boy or girl ?"
Daughter : " Girl "
Cashier : " To go or to stay ?"
Daugher : " To go "
I couldn't help myself smiling. I mean look at children these days. They've got so many selection ! I remember the first time i had mcdonald's, i was in highschool. There are lots of stuffs that at my time i couldn't get, now every 3 years old can get.

Bored 

Challenging Fall

Last night for the first time in my life i took a cycling class. Wow ! it was great! I thought it was gonna be a boring class, you know..riding nowhere..but i am telling now it was really good. I didn't even watch the clock and suddenly 45 minutes had passed ! I definitely will take it again, now i am thinking about taking it on thursdays ( to replace the abs class), fridays and sundays..: )
Thanks to S. ( let's call him this way ) who inspires me to take a cardio class coz he thinks running 10-20 minutes on treadmill isn't enough.
PS: my butt still hurts..haha..

So this fall, i made a little changes or to variate a bit. I add total body conditioning and cycling this season. Tell you what, the TBC class on tuesday is killing me, if not torturing..but still, i like it :P.
Here is newest and challenging schedules :
Monday : abs and kickboxing
Tuesday : kickboxing and total body conditioning
Wednesday : abs and total body conditioning ( next will gonna try jump rope jam)
Thursday : cycling and club strength
Friday : cycling and abs ( might add yoga )
Sunday : cycling, club strength and abs
Whenever i have time, no matter how little it is, i always try to run 5-10 minutes on treadmill.

You see, i think i workout hard enough. Okay, so i must admit that part of me want to lose weights (it's so strange that after months and months of hardworking, it's still very hard to get to my perfect-desired figure..however, i am not shy to tell you that my legs are in shape now..ahha ), another part of me want to have a healthy body. I've seen lots of people who do not work out and when they turn into theirs 30s and up, the body is slowing down. I am more inspired to work out here than in indonesia ( i did workout too ). I think people are more concern about their health here ( well of course, people have more health problems in usa ).
I do realize one thing that i can't stand of cold anymore. I used to be able sleeping in AC room without a blanket no matter how cold it was. So i guess, age does matter. However, compared to months ago, i know i am stronger..:P

Anyhoo, a few days ago i received a card and pictures from Sanyon and Annie. Nice couple and nice pictures..: ) I think Annie still looks the same with her curly hair but Sanyon has lost his unruly hair..haha...nice tho, looks more like a student now..:)

Also a few days ago, i got my library card from New York Public Library ! Yuhooo !! Tomorrow i will go to one of its branches and register. Now i have found out a new " hanging out" place and a smart way to save my money from buying books..ehhee...

Apart from several good news above, i've got a bad news from my hometown but i just can't write it down here, even though i told myself this blog is about my past and present, for some reasons i have to lick my words back. Let's just say every family has skeletons in its closet. I just hope this unfortunate thing won't last for a long period.

What Kind of Angel Are You ?

Your half- angel. Not exactly human, but not quite
angel, you walk on earth freely. Half-Angels
have no wings, but tend to show some signs.
Some ways to notice these are that the girl
never menstrates, she cannot bleed, and her
touch seems to give of a glow. No one really
knows how half-angels are born. Some say that
when a child is born, one of the angels blesses
her with her gifts. Others say that they are
cursed creatures, because half-angels cannot
die, while their familly and friends around
them do. Hlaf-Angels are very beautiful and
Kind, and have the power to speak to animals,
but at the same time, sad that they are this
way. Some Half-Angels love being human. Being
able to see, smell, hear, taste,and feel are
all miracles to them. They crave to be more
human-all the time.

Hates

These days i wrote much about hates. A few days ago, i lost my yahoo's password because of my own stupidity, but thanks to henry and elijah ( plus myself ) i finally got it back. Phewwww...i got panicked ( and hated myself) because that account has been with me for 8 years and not to mention my achives from mblog was sent to that account ( so if i didn't get it back, i'd have spent $35 for nothing ).
Don't know what's wrong with me these days. Sigh.

Yesterday, at the kickboxing's class, there came this korean girl, taking a space infront of me. It irritated me because while there was a bigger space, why on earth she had to stand infront of me, and blocked my vision to the mirror? and more irritation thing was she didn't realize that she kept moving back, which made me had to move backward. I mean why some people just don't have any sense??? Then the most irritating thing was she suddenly stopped moving, then i lost my space and had to stop too!! Oh my god, she definitely shouldn't be at that class !!

He thinks i dislike of many many things. He said i always make comment or disatisfied with stuffs. I don't know. I mean i don't think i am that kind of person. Or maybe i just didn't realize it.

Last night on the train, i noticed these two young women sitting infront of me, talking cheerfully. It suddenly reminded me of my good friends in jakarta. I miss those moments. I miss them. I miss the times when whe hang out, when we shopped, when we ate, when we gossipped, when we laughed. Now, here I am, with no close friend at all, sometimes it's really lonely. How much i wish i could have shopping's friends, chitchat's friends,etc.

I hardly could wake up this morning. The sky was dark even though it was 7am already. No heater yet, it was even cold under my covet. I couldn't imagine when winter comes. Brrrr...

Things That I Hate When Riding Subways

I have been wanting to post about this one several months ago but always delayed, sometimes because of mood-changed. Well, since i've got too much times on hand,i can write down what i hate when riding subways in nyc. Here are they :
1. in rush hours, when i stand up, back to back with another person..i always try to leave a little space between us, mainly because i hate touching with other people's stuffs, not even their clothes. So when the train moves, automatically you get shaken, right ? but i always try to control my body, some people just don't get it, so they swing and swing and i really hate when part of their body/clothes touching me. I know im not supposed to hate it, but i just can't help it !!
2. This applied to when sitting.
3. I also hate the coffee's smell on trains ( this is so ironic, because i really love coffee ).
4. I hate when people who next to me keep yawning every one minute and not covering their mouths !!! So unthoughtful !
5. I hate the smelly coats/jackets in winter. I know lots of people don't change especially when they work in restaurants.

Phewww, this might make me sound like an arrogant person, but i am really not ! I think i pay too much attention to my surroundings when i am not reading on trains. That's why. : )

I HATE MBLOG !!!!

This morning, i just discovered that mblog without any notice to its members has blocked us to retrieve/restore our archives unless we have to pay $35 for restoration fee! It's very unreasonable since it gave us no notice previously ! I've been devoting myself for more than 6 months writing my daily life stories, and now i've lost them ! Just like that ! I am angry, upset, and sad. : (

So now i am back to blogspot.
