Another Pleasurable Day

Well, new day has come, but still missing Ty, lol. It’s not like he’s my boyfriend tho, but miss miss miss him. Yeah, without his presence, dorm will never be the same again.

I don’t really know what to write, just my usual rambling from today. Didn’t really feel like to go outside today. It was sunny and hot weather all afternoon, and raining like mad in the evening. I was keeping myself busy with playing That Nintendo DS game, Elite Beats Agent, US version. It’s like following the music and taps the touch-screen according to the beats. Here, I give you some pictures from my game. Played for few hours and got frustrated, stuck with the boss, that I kept play and play but cannot defeat. Heard from my dear dear that the Japanese version has more fancy music, hee, later download it from the net.

Bath bath bath, and found this movie I’ve downloaded months ago, Latter Days. Have you guys ever heard? It’s a gay-themed movie, about this young gay guy, named Chris(tian), and one Mormon missioner guy. Wrote the synopsis for you all here…

Aaron Davis (Steve Sandvoss) and Christian Markelli (Wes Ramsey) are the two most opposite people in the world. Aaron is a young Elder (or a Mormon missionary) who wants to do his family proud and is quite passionate about his religion and film. Christian is a shallow WeHo waiter/party boy who only looks forward to bedding a new guy every night. After Aaron and three other missionaries move into the apartment across from Christian, his friends bet him $50 that he can't get one of them to jump into the sack, so he instantly latches onto Aaron. There are two problems, though - Christian is falling in love with Aaron and the Mormons are not the biggest fans of the homosexual community. Once Aaron is discovered, the two have to go through trials of regret, loss, perseverance, and forgiveness if they both want to get to the thing that matters to them most: each other.

It is a must-see movie! Believe me. It has its cheesy parts, but they’re all tolerable. The plot I think is very close to our daily life, especially for those who are Christians. Watch it, I recommend. Moreover, this film has more to offer than just a really engrossing plot and cute actors. Try to listen to the music compositions. Wah, it all were beautifully arranged for such a movie. Especially that one entitled Tuesday 3:00 a.m. sung by Rebekah Jordan. Will try to look for the album on the net.

Pleasurable day was it?

Goodbye Ty!

Along with the approach of this new semester, the wind of life brings some old things go away and new things coming up. Yeah, one of the things that go away is my dormmate, Ty.

I recall that I ever wrote about my dorm several times and of course, in particular, about my friend Ty. Well, he’s one year older in same major as I am, and he’s been my dormmate since, as long as I can remember, my first year. Although he’s one year older, we can always talk freely toward each other, never have such superiority feelings between us. In fact, he’s the only one I can always talk to when at dorm. We, at dorm, once called him name “Little Kid with Big Gusto”, yeah, since Ty has kinda small body for guy of his own age, but always eager to do something daring, lol.

To me he’s more than just a friend; he’s like a buddy. Yeah we shared many times together, discussing ‘bout computer games, shared music collections, talk about girls, book-swapping (we both share great interests in books and literatures), watching movies, go to Church, have meals, cooking late suppers, monthly shopping, and all those late night discussing-sessions talking ‘bout nonsense, lol. He’s also place where I usually borrow DVDs, haha. Yeah, he’s the closest friend I have at dorm. Ty never took me for granted (unlike my other dormmate, K, bleah!), that’s why I always like to share with him.

But now Ty has already graduated, and looking forward to pursue his next degree in China. Few days ago he moved out from our dorm. Since our dorm is so small (yeah, it only consists of four bedrooms), it’s more like a homestay place, so the absence of one person gives greater effect. Even my dorm owner can feel that the dorm is much quieter than the state when Ty was here.
I occasionally keep looking at his room, and imagining that I see streaks of light from there, sigh. Missing him already. Lol, it’s not like that Ty has passed away or what, but still feel bitter a little. I am a soft-hearted guy, you know, haha :-)

Good bye bro… wish to see you again!
Just wanna say good luck also with your study there!

Visit Indonesia Year 2008

Ya, after staying at home and watching TV all day, I found this nice advertisement on TV, about Indonesia tourism resurrection.

Visit Indonesia Year 2008 – I can say this one is one more of such a delirious program legalized by that Tourism and Culture Minister. Haizzzzzzz, can’t he see that our infrastructures aren’t ready for that? Geez, I am questioning where that moronic existence got such an inspiration.
One instance, if you go to our international airport, Soekarno-Hatta, I fancy to see you try struggle out safely from there. Believe me, I myself felt ashamed when I first greeted my sweetheart Cedy when he first stepped in Indonesia and he saw that airport. Contrasting Changi in Singapore, which is prominent for its safety and well-arranged form, Soekarno-Hatta is veeeerrry messy in many ways.
Out from the arrival gate, you will be greeted by many people offering you transportation service; none of them is legal though. If you accept, usually you’ll end up being deceited, paying twice of the normal value, or even leaving you deserted in some strange place with no money or else. You should walk around the lobby (which is kinda afar) and look for Silver Bird taxi (the safest taxi in Indonesia, as far as I know) or better ask for your relative to pick you up.
And that’s not enough, on the arrival gate, there are people who offering to give you direction to the receptionist or help you with ticketing, of course not for free, even if you didn’t ask for their help from the beginning.
So, my advice, never let yourself alone in the airport. Even local people can get deceited, no less the foreign tourist one.

That’s only from the tourism department, here is another example of how they work in Indonesian government:

- The prices of basic needs, such as eggs, wheat flour, rice is rocketing.

- The price of soybeans also now rocketing. Soybean is main ingredient of tofu and tempe (fermented soybean) which are primary food for many low-economic people (for its cheap price and so). Now after the price are all rising. How could they eat?
FYI, in Indonesia there are still many people living with cost under US$ 1/day.

- That idiotic and hastily executed conversion from kerosene to LPG. If people cannot even buy food, how can you expect them to buy that expensive LPG?

“Indonesia on the Move” ya, that’s the title of the book wrote by and launched by our dear beloved President, Mr Susilo Bambang Yoedhoyono (did I write his name right?).
Self-contented eh you, Mr President?
Isn’t that sufficient enough that this nation was humiliated by idiotic people who think that they’ve actually found new kind of renewable fuel, so proud for their discovery, as called the fuel as “Minyak Indonesia Bersatu (MIB) – United Indonesia Fuel” and launched their ‘invention’ at the Global Climate Change Meeting in Nusa Dua Bali last December, legalized by Mr President himself. Even TIMES International chortled in laugh when wrote about that launching.

Please Mr President, don’t close you’re eyes and only made decisions based by macro-scaled data gathered by so-called Statistical Bureau. I believe your eyes are blinded by people surround you who filtered the bad data and give you only the sweet polished ones. See the society in the real life, and you’ll see, life is not as beautiful as you may think. Indonesia on the Move……..yes, but move downwards!

I have no mean of being skeptical though, moreover, it’s not usual me, that I get concern in such kind of issues, but yah… sometimes I also feel obligated because I live here.

See you then…

6 Months Anniversary

Well, today is our 6^th month’s anniversary of me and Cedy together. I cannot wonder how time flew so fast. It seems like we meet just yesterday. Having such a relationship is not easy, but still, we cherish our every moment together.

So much have passed, and yet so much still wait for us on the future. Hope I can be a good boyfriend for you, sweetheart…

Ya, it’s just like a scrap of old Boyzone’s song, Everyday I Love You
'Cos I believe that destiny
Is out of our control (don't you know that I do)
And you'll never live until you love
With all your heart and soul.

It's a touch when I feel bad
It's a smile when I get mad
All the little things I am
Everyday I love you

Let’s continue our journey together. Let us be… dear dear :-)

Jackass!

AS what the title represents, it really is JACKASS!

Yeah, while waiting for next semester to start, I’m stuck here in my dorm without something particular to do. Go back to Jakarta is not possible this week since we (me and Ed) still have to work on our research. Those tiny little funguses are still growing and need more attention these days. So there I was, watching random movies at dorm, I even watch some dumb stunt act like Jackass. Eeeewww, it was one of the grossest things I’ve ever seen…

People shitting on the doll house *skip skip skip*
Drinking beer poured through Indian longest-fingernail-guy fingernail *skip skip skip*
Hitting golf ball on crotch *skip skip skip*
Driving motorcycle with a midget on head *skip skip skip*
Toying around with cannibals in India *skip skip skip*
Eh, already finished??!! How come?

Cannot imagine why this movie is so popular in US. Gross. *shake head*

Whilst I’m still elaborating on this moronic movies subject, I also got this movie, American Pie 6 from my friend. Actually The American Pie Series wasn’t that bad. But after they released the American Wedding (the third of the series, maybe)… I think that the title has been commercialized too much. The fourth and fifth movies (continued with this 6^th movie) are so BLEAH. The plot is aroused around this one member of Stiffler family. Only exploit boobs and girls (why not boys instead, haha). Every few minutes, you will see girls dancing (NAKED) on sororities houses, or playing on top of bar. I dunno if this movie really depicts the young American life. If yes, then I simply won’t like it there for sure.

Huff…
