Do the math, cause I won't

You know why most people hate mondays? I assume it's because it's the first day of school/college/work after 2 days of fun and late nights.
Now let's do the math, thousands and thousands of kids in the world ( I guess) hates monday. Isn't it weird how one single day, can make so many people sigh with exhaustion? and how it ( in a way) unites us together? " We hate Mondays!" groups are made and joined in facebook and other social networks.In short let's put this together with the source. Conclusion : school is EVIL

Don't worry the teachers aren't evil, they're just buying the whole "school is good"-culture

Okay let's get to the point.

Have you ever been afraid? ever been afraid of doing something you know it could change your life forever?
Or more like have you ever been afraid of something you know you shouldn't be and thus making you act or even take simple actions that you know you wouldn't just to satisfy that being?

I've actually been wondering if fear, is the real reason why most people have power. It doesn't neccesary need to be your boss or your religion teacher (yikes!) it could be your mom or dad, even your friend!

Then this idea links to another question, why do they do it? why would they seem powerful or in this case fearful infront of others? From "tuesdays with morrie" he stated that people are mean because they're threaten.

Which links to another question. Why would they be threaten by certain people's presence? Can and why would they rely on their overly protective instincts to protect themselves? I wonder if it's our few animal-like instincs that makes us think like this. Like how a lioness protects her cubs from turist, and how us humans feel threaten and hunts them down.

Wait let's narrow the example :
like how a bully shows authority to a fellow student by fist fighting, the bully is unconsciously afraid of that fellow student because a reason or two, and the fellow student is afraid of the bully because of his (obviously, yet stereotypically) big ass fist and high taekwondo kicks.

This is why I prefer sitting down and disscusing this, without the unstable emotions please. The human emotions can only lead to chaos in a middle of a debate. I guess all we need is some understanding from each other.

Goal for now : Try understanding each other rather than jumping into conclusions.

OKAY TIME TO BE RANDOM

Will I be randomizing today?

Haven't filled in the ol'blogg for a while. I made this account for about a year ago, sadly it failed a year ago. So I decided to start again ( read: Rotten cheese, new canvas?) and now surprisingly. This is the 15td post of the year!

Can I get a woohoo?


Oh, I've realized that it's been a year since twilight. and it took several months to get the "vampire-craze-epidimic" to sink, well it sunk because of the bebier-fever. Anyways when I thought it was on the end of it's glory days, new moon came up. A few months after that Eclipse came up popping on the screen. I was going to watch letters to juliet, the movie wasn't even out and I had edward's face on my popcorn bucket. A few days after that there was this gossip about a celeb sextape ( FYI : not a common thing in Indonesia) and it quickly leaked into other gossip.


Okay my point is that I don't really get why people buy into culture that much. Most of the articles we read in the magazines are mostly about unknown yet known people. And if that's not enought alot of people my age actually talk about this, as if it's something crucial to talk about.

But then again we are in our "let's search for who we are stage" Okay enough random yet weird yet serious talk here's a picture of a monkey!

You sexy thang.

I have a confession to make, I am a MANGA NERD. Sadly I also have a life, and ACTUALLY do sports. I don't sit around making cosplay costumes that'll make me look fat ( I would be L though, cheap) anyways, let's cut to the chase!


Some few mangas that I recommend :


- Innocent life
Why? Daisy Yamada with her charming cute drawing has done it again, Innocent life is such a great oneshot to read. She captures everyday not-so-usual-yet-usual problems (such as divorce etc) and squeeze in it to several chapters.


- Love! Wan
Why? When a sweet school girl saves her life for a dog, the great dog-senin has granted her a special power to turn other people into dogs! A very sweet manga, I love the little comedic acts and the weird twists in the plot. The drawing is also very very cute


- Switch Girl!!
Why? One word : Hilariouslyromantic. The character Nia has switches, when she's on she turns into the schools idol and friend but when she's off she turns into a Lazy, cranky otaku. No one knows however she is discovered by a guy who also has "Switch on/off". The drawings of Nia On/Off really contrast!


I actually have more to recommend but I my fingers feel weird. I shouldn't have washed my hands with sunlight.

Patty Cake Patty Cake Bake Me A Cake

I just baked a batch of cookies. Honestly I haven't baked for a really long time. I just felt like baking or actually doing something today. Anyways, I lost my original recipe so I decided to take on an internett recipe and make it my own by replacing and adding a few ingredeints. The result? not bad I guess, I burnt the first few but the rest turned out nice an golden brown. Yeah I lost my concentration after the GCSE, joke. I was distracted a bit :)



Now after that a friend texted me asking if I can bake cheesecakes. Then I suddenly remember that I made it once with ol'mom but that was ages ago. Now I'm sitting here wondering about "Can I make a cheap tiramisu like I've always dreamt of?"



The Original is simply coffe soaked ladyfingers, and layered with alcoholish cream topped with some coffee powder.



Problem :

1.Ladyfingers are kinda hard to get in indonesia and also expensive, and needs a pro to make it right

2. I'm a muslim we can't have any alcohol in our foods

3. Mascarpone cheese is very expensive and hard to find.



Solution :

1. we change the ladyfingers to castella bread or pound bread. It's basically a sweet bread, and to make it ladyfinger-ish dry them like biscotti. Pound bread is a pound of butter, milk, sugar, flour and an egg or two : Pound bread

2. Now the alcohol part is kinda hard to skip, if we do we would have no heavy feel in the cake. But look at the bright side less calories!

3. Marcarpone cheese , we can actually make this stuff by adding some lemon water and putting it in a cloth. but that would take longer time, I suggest we use regular cream cheese or again yogurt set.



Man I wonder how they'll taste like, but this will be cheaper for an Indonesian students wallet :)

Push Away Your Ego

I just read an article about 6 Unkown people who probably saved your life. And one of them caught my eye. James harrison, not the all-american football player who earned 2 superbowl rings.


But the guy who was unselfish and noble enough to give up his blood regularly to save more than 2 million babies. It all started when he was 14, when he received a life saving blood transfusion ( More than 13 liters!) which he needed to proceed with his chest operation. Shortly after that he was so grateful that he pledged to donate his blood for the better.




Founds out that the James had a super rare enzym in his body, which can prevent humans from the rheum disease ( when a mothers antibody attacks her baby, mistaking it for a "foreign" object") well read the article, the site is pretty much good too.



Reminds me of the nameless soldier that saved france. Except that we actually know his name, but you get the point! Browse around that site, learn a thing or two about the randomness I do when school's out.

Hot like the grassfield

Ok I just watched Ned vs. Den, and stupid me I just realized. ALL SOCCERPLAYERS ARE HOT, well more like attractive. ( I'm a girl, feel my soccerguycraze)

and one thing I found this really weird doll called the "Skipper" doll, it's supposed to be barbie's younger sister, unfortunately they stopped producing these toys. Why you may ask , well "Skipper" is actually a "growing" doll. When you wind up her right arm it grows one inch taller and get this it grows BOOBS too!

It looks innocent and actually really cute right? But no it had too grow boobs. Personally for me this is really cool! but for the mommies and daddies who was so distracted by work to buy their little girls (and possible young homosexual who are just dying to take off that ugh of a skirt off her). Weeeeell let's just say mattel got some complaints

Don't believe me ? Click here, I promise Skipper will love it

Sounds of the Nerd

I may admit that, I'm a lousy blogger.
I don't update much, and abandon it for videogames.

But, I LOVE reading other people's blogs. It like reading their personal diary, their thoughts, opinions and even get to see how fanatical they are over the current hot-band/guy/actress/actor/model/-you-get-the-point. And even some blogs put up pictures of their "personal style" and even some yummy recipes. (My fave is The Beantown Baker )

So if I'm not replying twitter/MSN-or-like-whatever it means that I'm recipe hunting, or that I'm in the Lava cleft fighting off a floor 3 monster off.
