.......... a not so happy (seemed like any other day) valentine day
clock went 12 times over. it's 00:00 am (just think it that way ok? Im dramatizing stuff, bear with me)
I couldnt sleep, my friend annoyed the helluva outta me. (I wrote some stuff after that line, but I scraped it out. I feel bad badmouthing my friend)
Sent some messages and got bored pretty soon afterwards.
And so I took a peek on my cell's clock, it was already 05:00 am. I was like: dude, i oughta get some sleep before I got knocked out later on.
I finally was able to sleep (well, actually I just fell asleep without noticing) around that time and woke up around 09:00 am.
I was already at quite a bad mood, and my first bad event for the day came outta nothing. And an incoming text made it worst.
My friend kept talking some nasty stuff, and its somehow irritate me for no reason. My boss from Surabaya texted me about that he is now currently in Jakarta, and whether I want to meet up with him. I said sure: but later on it appeared that my friend does NOT know how to drive to that place. *sigh*
So my friend suggested that we are going somewhere else. So i agreed. If one could tell, my face aged like 10 years within 5 minutes. I was so depressed.
Later I went to a cinema, and watched CJ7. It was a movie done by Stephen Chow, starring himself. It was alright.
*SPOILERS* -warning-
Xiao Di has a father (Mr.Chao), his mom passed away already. They are poor, but they are happy. Mr.Chao longs that Xiao Di is well-educated so he sent Xiao Di to an elite school for rich kids eventhough he's quite poor. He works days and night to pay the bill.
So one day he scuffles between the garbage when he found a strange green ball. And what came outta it is way stranger than it already is.
*SPOILERS END*
It was a family movie, quite touching (I'll say)
Its gotten worse from that point,....
........................... here ends my rant.
so how's your valentine day? I hope it's not as bad as mine

another day.......... another drama
Whenever I go to take a stroll, I often found myself chuckling for no reason. And whenever friends or someone that happened to be with me questioned me about it, I will not able to provide them with a decent answer. I was struck down with idiotness in my face.
You know, I'm so used to Western environment that Eastern environment looks so weird to me. And you know what, there's no diversity here. Everybody is... pretty much the same.
People find me a strange person....
....... and I find them weird as well

western culture vs. eastern culture (based on their sense of humor
)Earlier this evening, i went to see "meet the spartans". Simply put, as the title already suggested... it's a 300's rip off. Well, a rip off is a rude word. Let's call it a parody off 300.
to begin with, it has (well what do you think?) pieces of 300 but done differently. NO SPOILERS, I ain't gonna tell a jack about the story line. And pieces of MTV's tv programs, American's successful programs (e.g: Yo Momma, American Idol, etc), American latest gossip, and LOADS of hidden spots (could you TELL?) like Nike, Red Bull, Channel, etc. And some sex joke materials (there is no good comedy without it)
IMHO, it was alright. Such a pity that not everyone can appreciate good humor. Well American humor in this context. There are some points that really cracked the helluva outta me, but everybody kept silent. There I started to realize, eastern culture isn't that familiar with those kinda jokes. Such a shame.
Honestly, when we came out. I kept my ear sharp for comments. And here what I heard:
"That movie is very weird"
"I kept thinking 'huh?!!' "
"What was that??!!"
"I dont understand most of the parts"
Shame, shame.... I understand it's not really a big hit comedy or anything. Just their appreciation is quite low.
Its understandable in a way. There's no way asian would understand a gay joke, american latest gossips & tv programs (unless those who have cable at home).
Its not that Im putting eastern culture at the very low of the pedestal. But I just take a very noticeable point of view of how the thing stands.
They are not very open minded. And a lot things here are considered taboo. Eventhou the same things are considered child play in U.S or any western countries.
I guess that just the way eastern cultures are.

someone told me, a journey is like writing on a blank sheet of paper. the further your journey is.... more things you will write into...
my journey is yet to be started...
im just halfway thru... thou its starting to be unbearable. there are some moments i couldnt handle the pressure. yet i have to make myself to believe that im strong enough to walk this path.
it sure is funny yet ironic. i used to think that i missed indonesia, quite alot. but as time goes by...
now i felt i dont belong here anymore. i missed netherlands. funny aint it?
human will not feel satisfaction. they will hunger for what they dont have nor feel.
but i will write this story to the end. i will walk my journey to my destination.
the question is, will you?
