In denial of not being a Cancer!

Just a quick note about the earth's changing alignment that changes the zodiac sign I read in an article few minutes ago.
Well, I’m not a horoscope fan, but the fact that I am no longer a Cancer is a bit irritating.
I enjoy being a Cancer despite its (sign) name. At this instant, I should be getting ready to change my personality traits? Ahh, there’s no need to rush.
See! I’m still procrastinating! I’m still technically a Cancer! LoL

Internet Coma

Have you ever heard of the internet coma?

Urban Dictionary defines the internet coma as a state of loss of peripheral vision, amnesia, severely reduced motor function ability, and drooling with one eye closed are common symptoms.


It is given a situation like this:

When you are sitting on your couch, feet up on the coffee table, laptop on your lap. 4-10 hours later you are in an entirely prone position with your legs off the edge of the coffee table and your head on the seat cushion. You become completely unresponsive to your surroundings.

It happens to me almost all the time. Once I got online, I just don't realize that time flies. I get pleasure from all those late night log-ins. Blogging, blog-walking, checking emails, messing around on Facebook, clicking links shared by Tweeple on Twitter, chatting, and there seems to be a lot of fun things to do when connected to the internet.

Most of the time, I get connected to the internet way longer than I intended. Not to mention the times I find myself murmuring "just a few more minutes" when on-line. Worse, I often get so annoyed if someone bothers me while I’m on-line.

However, I haven’t suffered from any negative consequences of bearing such an internet addiction so far. To me, it is just worth the risk. All those possible health issues like strain, numbness, bad eyesight, poor posture, hmmm I think I can live with that.

Tempe geprek = Quick, tasty meal



Earlier today, I was so hungry that I could eat a horse. Then I found myself mumbling “There’s nothing to eat”, as I opened the fridge and searched through the eating table.

But wait a minute; apparently I found leftover Tempe somewhere in the kitchen. Yaay, this what-to-do-with-leftover idea suddenly came across my mind. In short, here’s my quick-cooking-for lunch recipe, simple as it should be.


Ingredients:
  • leftover tempe
  • chili
  • 1 clove of garlic

How to make:
  • Crush the garlic and chili.
  • Crush the tempe. Mix them all. Done!
  • Serve.


Tempe Geprek, like most people call it. I had it with warm rice. Bliss.

2010 to me

In 2010:

  • I finally completed my degree. But missed the graduation ceremony.
  • I made a lot of friends in Balikpapan.
  • I experienced leaving for work and going home by speedboats.
  • I spent Idul Fitri without my beloved family.
  • I finally bought a smartphone.
  • I had some random inappropriate crushes. And managed to move on after all.
  • I managed to lose about 2-3 kilos. And later gained 5 kilos.
  • I inhaled volcanic ash and dust during Merapi eruption.
  • I jumped over the 2-3 meter high office fence! In daylight! This is probably the most ridiculous thing I've done! And I thanked Mr. anonymous parking guard and Mr. Midomi seller for helping me out, lifting me up … *grins*

Now that I'm supposed to be working on the resolutions I made ... at the end of 2009. Oh, I still work on 2010 resolutions, for most of them failed. Well, I'll simply make them as my resolutions in 2011.
