I could say something cute like,

“Christmas is canceled and it’s all your fault! I told Santa you’ve been good all year.. he died laughing”.

But that would be annoying, considering my age. And considering there are some of you that might have already read that line in a hallmark card before. But then again, originality is remembering what you heard but forgetting where you heard it from, right? haha. Neways,, forget my attempt of being funny, and let me put down a line which I forgot where I got it from…

“Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas now…”.

for those who celebrates, I wish you a joyful Christmas!! ^^ and for those who doesn’t, may you have a warm evening with your loved ones =)

xoxo,

The world is going to have more long distance relationships.

Thanks to:

1. Globalization.

“Globalization describes the the growth in international exchange and interdependence”, see: Jan Art Scholte. (2004). Globalization: A Critical Introduction. New York: St. Martin’s Press. Page 46-50

So yeah, I bet “cross-border relations” will continue to increase. I think there even will be a time where what Colson mentioned with “LAT (Living Apart Together) Marriage” sounds like the only kind of relationship that makes sense.

2. Airlines that offer “No Fuel Surcharge” rates.

What is “No Fuel Surcharge”? “No Fuel Surcharge” is introduced for all seats on XXX to relieve guests from paying the fuel surcharge fee. This means you now no longer have to pay any fuel surcharge when buying XXX seats.

hmm…

Apa yang dimaksud dengan harga “ Tanpa Fuel Surcharge “? Yang di maksud harga “Tanpa Fuel Surcharge” adalah untuk semua kursi di XXX para tamu akan di bebaskan untuk tidak membayar fuel surcharge. Ini berarti Anda kini tak perlu lagi membayar biaya fuel surcharge ketika membeli tiket kursi XXX.

So, yeah, they are basically giving definition to the word “NO/TANPA”. (this is like the main reason I went blogging about this subject.)

3. Cheap long distance phone call rates.

“Nelpon ke Singapura lebih murah daripada nelpon ke Singaparna!”, which means: making a call to Singapore is cheaper than making a call to Singaparna, a small city within the country. (I’m not sure whether it’s a small city or a village, I’m geographically-challenged).

4. Advance technology, such as 3G cellular phones, web cams, and, urm, shinny sex toys?

5. Skype, YM, MSN, Facebook, Multiply, Friendster, you name it.

*going back to work now, will continue later. if I don’t write some more in a week,, wait longer. haha*

ah, uh, and by the way, (and because it amuses me in a creepy way), I googled “dramaqueeningrum” (don’t look at me like that), and here’s the first result:

absolutely trash. | (pretend it’s not) a corny site. - [ Terjemahkan laman ini ] Add new tag annoying asinan bogor beauty queen blonde moment brainless bruises children comfort zone constipating dramaqueeningrum free Friend of The Month

An annoying “asinan bogor” beauty queen (that has frequent) blonde moment(s) (and is also that) brainless (to enjoy giving) bruises (to) children (outside her) comfort zone (as a) constipating dramaqueen. (She gives out) free “friend of the month”(s) …”

Yeah, I know. That wasn’t even remotely funny. Ah well. I am easily amused these past few days. (ssshh! I’d like to think I’m enjoying the moment).

And the way google decribed her, that dramaqueeningrum sounds like a hell of a catch!

Dear All.

Today (December 4th, 2008) has been a really tough day. Had some ‘thesis-crisis’ that lead to a THREE hour crying my eyes out (yes, I am such a cry baby. Shoot me), not to mention the time I actually shed tears wept in front of so many people, a decision to take some time off from my part time job (people at my work place are just awesome!), a decision to log off from yoaniverse for a while (who’d cyber-miss me anyway? Note to self: must.stop.being.delusional.), Daddy wanting to do something (I would not be proud of) to someone who did something (I’m sure that person is not proud of) to me (yes, he’s creepy that way. That’s why I Love him!), Mother planning to come visit and stay with me for a while (which I do want, I miss how she smells and all, but I’m not sure we’ll survive long-term), and my sisters being all nice and polite and actually calls my cell phone (??).

I hope you will all behave well while I’m gone. Have a great week! And please do something fun this week so at least one of us is having a great time. (and that at all doesn’t sound pathetic).

MAY YOU ALL HAVE A BLAST!

XOXO,

Yoan.
