absolutely trash.

caution: this post (is corny and) wont be written entirely in english because I’m currently not in the mood to think of the proper english word for everything that doesn’t even make sense in Indonesian. and yes, also because my english is going to hell. so, oh well.

Starting with, for you who noticed (and kindly sent me an SMS showing how concerned you are) about how sappy I was in my previous post, of which I deleted, for no logical explanation, I give you a truck load of thank yous. Thank you for having such warm hearts. and I’m sorry that I feel the need to delete it as I don’t want so many people to see the emo-sobbing PMSing side of me, which I blame it on some people (and PMS) because before I met them (and when not PMSing) I was blissfully unaware of how weird unique I was whereas now I am acutely aware of how corrupted (and perverted) my mind is.

And now, on this saturday night, just minutes before I’m going out to have a proper dinner with my housemate (I’m gonna keep referring you as my housemate, Tri) at Pak Moes where I will most certainly end up twirling my hair until my fingers turns red for trying not to ask for a cigarette,,, I am blogging about “Mars versus Venus” as I just got off the phone with a friend dealing with the shit I had been dealing with in my past relationships.

1. they say: cewek suka ngungkit. FACT: cowok mempertahankan behaviour yang minta di ungkit.
2. cowok kurang suka kalau cewek pengen tau keadaan mantannya, and that’s reasonable because girls usually hates their ex, so if there’s an ex the girl likes to regularly and eagerly keep in touch with,, then guys have a reason to feel insecure but that doesn’t mean that you can’t work things out.
3. Guys don’t contact their formers because maintaining a good relationship post break ups is just not a typical guy thing. They’d rather go do sports or hit the bars than sit around and whine and get all sappy and mushy. So when a guy contacts his ex and doesn’t tell you about it then when caught uses “ya emang pengen tau aja kabarnya gimana. cuman sebatas pengen tau kabarnya aja. kenapa sih gitu doang dipermasalahkan?”, then … *straight face* you’re pretty much screwed whatever you say.
4. This one’s based on a survey; the percentage of cheating committed by female are actually higher than those conducted by male. think of this, woman are really good with keeping secrets. so when we speak alot of one name, you seriously don’t need to worry. It’s the ones that we don’t talk about that matters. I will get back on this later. housematey just called and on her way to my place, so I better take a shower now *GRIN* feel free to add some in the comment box ^^ Have a great saturday night! (though it’s raining here in Bandung!)
5. When a girl already says that she’s OK with something, but the guy keeps asking her whether she’s really OK with it or not, that means what he’s about to do is diabolical hehe. When girls are up to something they know would cause friction, they don’t ask guys whether they’ll be OK with it or not. Girls will just do it then goes, “oh I’m sorry. I didn’t think it would be a problem” *GRIN*
6. When a girl gives the same answer more than 3 times, it means she’s lying. Example: “Yeah, sure, that’s fine. It’s ok. relax… I’m totally cool with it!”. When a guy does that, well, same thing.
7. When a girl asks something to a guy and instead of giving her an answer, the guy asks something back, then he’s buying time to find an excuse. When a guys asks something and the girl keeps changing the subject, she’s buying time.
8. Girls know it when Guys lie. When a guy can sense a girl is lying, then actually, she wants to get caught. Because if a girl has decided to really keep something to herself, no chance in hell guys could tell. MWAHA.
9. Guys can do romantic waaaaay better than girls. Girls do revenge way scarier than guys.
10. A survey shows that girls are more likely than boys to get alcohol from parents, including from parents of friends. Because it’s harder to turn down a request from a girl.
11. When a girl does something totally impulsive for a guy, they call her aggressive. and a slut. When a guy does something impulsive for a girl, they find him sweet.
12. They say male think about sex every time. FACT: girls do too. And the girl who doesn’t always think of sex when near you, is not THAT interested in you *GRIN*

NOTE: I’m not a feminist or sexist or whatever. I don’t label myself. I just find all the things above true ;p

but Britney Spears (or Mrs. oh my gawd that britney’s shameless) is my new role model! Never been a big fan of her and there was actually a time in my life when I felt that I could relate with Live on Release’s song “I’m afraid of Britney Spears”, but listening to her new (come back?) single “Piece of Me” made me think quite highly of her to even bother blogging about her. So I guess yeah, now I’m one of those girls that thinks Britney is cool ;p

The song shows the sort of horrible things paparazzi could put celebrities through. I love that she ‘responded’ to all the critics in such a fun way ^^ The way she takes em all then sings it (I do hope) will inspire people -who are too scared to fight back- to actually stop wasting their energy and emotion on what people say about them and start living their life the way they please. You can click here, to see what positive effect the song has given to someone. (Similar “positive energy boosting” songs; “Pink - So What”, “Avril Lavigne - Fall Back”, hmm what else yaa..)

Talking about music, these are some of what I’ve been listening to alot lately:

1. Britney Spears - Piece of Me
2. Newton Faulkner - She Got Time
3. Estelle ft Kanye West - American Boy
4. The Boy Least Likely To -I’m Glad I Hitched My Apple Wagon to Your Star
5. Postal Service - The Districts Sleeps Alone Tonight
6. Jason Mraz - Beautiful Mess (housematey said this song is about me - WHATS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN??)
7. The Walkmen - We’ve Been Had
8. Death Cab For Cutie - Passenger Seat
9. Athlete - Yesterday Threw Everything at Me
10. Plushgun - Just Impolite
11. The Weepies - World Spins Madly On
12. The Turtles - So Happy Together
13. The Ting Tings - That’s Not My Name (which housematey and I think is about prostitution)
14. Katy Perry - Ur So Gay
15. The Feeling - I Love it When You Call, ahh and…
16. The Moffats - Missery *GRIN*

some songs are new (as in they were released just this year), some are old, most are waaaay old.. but like a baby, I get attached to things ^^ just like my case of Madonna’s Like a Prayer *blinks innocently*

I’m sleepy… gutten nacht!

Katy Perry!!

and I wonder who might go gay for me…

Katy shrieks, “me, Jo!! me!!”

*I am so freakishly delusional*

PS. click on her name to visit her official web site or the bit where she screams my name *grin* to watch “ur so gay” music video. how can you not love her? *mushy sigh*

MAKE THE MOST OF MY LAST YEAR OF COLLEGE!!

After all the assignments,, exams,, internships,, …

Lets be kids again!!

My (ok) FANTABULOUS housemate, lets call her GARING (!!) – for the sake of privacy and sekuritas, and being brutally honest– made this heart warming cheek kissing breast groping panties touching (stop fantasi anda, perv!) post about us being bestfriends for 4 years (with all the drama) and finally living together in our last year of college *AMIN!*. Ini juga bentuk merealisasikan keinginan dari smester pertama kuliah. (tinggal the “work out regularly” aja, Ring! Nyahaha~). So here is mine.

Having a housemate is like *teen gewol gethowh lough mode on* “totally rufus!!” I get to yell a lot of “throw away your morning tissues!”, or “the rice cooker is moldy!”, or “take a shower will ya!” or “Uw! The hot satpam dude lagi duduk-duduk di depan!”. Wait. That doesn’t happen in just any house yaa?

Ah well, the making house rules bit was fun! Like about laundry, we do the whites on Mondays and the color ones on Thursday. We also have an “ET phone home rule” which stopped being a really cool rule after my boyfriend went “hoooom! hooooom!” while –in a retarded way- poking my shoulder. We also have the “no being naked downstairs” which we break in any given chance! Because we’re too lazy to go upstairs and get our pakaian dari lemari. But we never really place them there anyway, since baju-baju dari jemuran –yang sudah sampai kaku karena kelamaan di luar, di dinginnya udara lembang!- dibiarkan bertumpuk di sofa bawah dengan jargon “disini dulu, nanti di bawa ke atas” yang di ucapkan sambil lalu dan malas-malasan sehingga artikulasinya tidak jelas dan makes it sound like, “disiu wiu wiu wiu lala lili dudu”.

The terrifying bit is the fact that we have our cramps (PMS) di minggu yang sama (!!). Which di dunia cowok is like, “serumah sama supporter fanatic AC Parma di saat kamu adalah maniak MU”. (plus, we’re the kind of girls that PMSnya stands for: Pra Menstruasi, Pas Menstruasi, dan Pasca Menstruasi). *grin*

There was this one time (and Garing will immediately add “at band camp!”), we had an intense conversation about Rebecca, a character in Brother and Sisters TV series. The pointless argumentation ended up with tidur saling memunggungi. (kita ngga ada yang berani tidur sendiri, by the way). I despise Rebecca because I feel she’s pretentious. And Atri adores her because…I forgot. I totally blocked that out. (and Stella, a dear friend of ours, loves Rebecca because, “dia cantik banget!” That’s pretty much her reason).

Bottom line, *mengangkat gelas* I wouldn’t want another housemate. You are exhausting enough. Kidding! Aduh how to put in in proper English yaa… intinya, gw ngga bakal mau serumah sama orang lain in this last year of college kalo orang itu bukan elo. (did I just manage to make it sound gay?). ah screw linguistic! You know what I mean lagh!!

(Friendship is) something unpredictable,, but in the end, it’s right. I hope you had the time of your life. (interpretasi bebas dan sambung2in -something we both do ALOT-. From one uv Greenday’s song)

PS, I love you.

But blue jeans are not white!

(and I bet she’d reply, “and so are you, Jo!”) Racist! Pffft!

Ini adalah sebuah artikel yang saya post di blog friendster saya pada bulan agustus tahun lalu. I think I’m gonna make this a tradition (reposting my old writings on monthly basis), untuk melihat ‘ yang ada di kepala yoan tahun lalu’ =)

Kayak ibu-ibu yang bakalan mamerin ke temen-temen arisannya bahwa namanya dicetak di buletin kompleks perumahannya (entah karena rumah tinggalnya memenangkan award bulanan sebagai Rumah terAsri Sekompleks atau sudah sukses menjaring ribuan anak piramida dan memperoleh kapal pesiar kerenanya), saya akan ‘mengorbitkan’ seorang teman saya setiap bulannya (kalau sempat, ingat, dan niat), agar Satu, mereka makin eksis. Yang jomblo dapet pacar, yang taken dapet kecengan. Dan dua, menjamin site ini punya minimal satu pengunjung setiap bulannya. (and that in any way doesn’t sound pathetic, huh? *lol*).

Dalam edisi perdana ini, saya akan mengorbitkan Mya, orang yang telah banyak berjasa dalam terealisasinya ide yoaniverse ini.

yoan dan mya disaat Dao Ming Tse masih dianggap ganteng (oleh orang lain) !!

Meyta Saraswaty Putri, dara cantik kelahiran 5 Mei 1986 yang akrab di panggil Mya.

Yang lebih akrab lagi, memanggil dia Car! atau Myantut cenat cenut! atau Myaboo! Yang tidak seberapa akrab memanggilnya Meyta. Bahkan ada yang SKSD menggunakan Saras lalu berpose ala action figure (??). Yang tidak akrab sama sekali memanggilnya “hey!” dan yang kurang tau sopan santun memanggilnya “eh..” lalu men”situ”-“situ”kan. (I hate “situ-sini”! seriously).

Myantut (saya memasukkan diri saya dalam hitungan “teman lebih akrab”), punya talenta berorganisasi yang patut di acungkan jempol! Terbukti doski (bwahaha~ that is a fuckin’ jadul terminologi!) pernah menjabat sebagai Kordinator divisi Seni dan Olah Raga Himpunan Mahasiswa Hubungan Internasional periode 2006-2007, General Manager Unpar Radio Station Periode 2006-2007, dan Treasurer of Mya’s Books-DVD-Gadgets Fetish Foundation yang masa jabatannya seumur hidup!).

Dia penyabar, murah hati, caring (sama-sama Mya, langsung transfer ke rekening gw aja). Mya juga susah bangun pagi dan baru akan mandi kalau Tibet sudah dibebaskan! Tujuh kata terakhir adalah fiktif belaka.

Myantut mengadopsi gaya hidup purba, nomaden, karena kegemarannya untuk berpindah-pindah blog address. Kegemarannya menulis juga telah memberikan kontribusi yang cukup signifikan dalam ilmu perpolitikkan Indonesia dengan diterbitkannya, “Long Distance Relationship: Stick and Carrot”, “The Security Dilemma of Rhoma Irama”, “How to Answer Things Ambiguously”, and “All Those Books Exist Only in Yoan’s Head as This Insane Woman is Making Things Up!”.

Congrats buat Myantut! May we be good friends always! *spreading some hippie loving*

Pesan sponsor: dicari cowok cool yang memiliki karakter pemimpin dengan suara yang ‘cowo banget!’. Dipersilahkan untuk meninggalkan contact number anda di web site Mya. Btw, sedikit tambahan, “kadang-kadang bau rambut juga ngaruh!”
