Stole from Through Faith’s Eyes’sblog … since I have nothing to do unless chatting with WD.

I wonder…where life will take me
I regret…too much
I am…fat
I dance…dreamming on the center stage
I sing…if you’re not the one’s daniel bedingfield
I cry…easily
I am not always…honest and lively
I write…to recognize
I confuse…my self
I need…friend for discussion
I should try…traveling solo
I finish…reading To Kill a Mockingbird
I tag…self assurance

the magazine freak.

Since I won quiz which valued of IDR 25,000 from BOBO magazine 11 years ago, I started to upgrade my reading materials. BOBO wasn’t my level anymore, because I’ve already become a teenager.So, the money that I’d got was enough to buy 10 editions of GADIS, which at that time it cost only IDR 2,400. Beside bought GADIS, I also bought MODE magazine simply because this reason: their cover boys and Vanya the series which was very hilarious.

In high school I was no longer buy magazine coz all the money went for food and the movie and the Donald Duck comic. But still, I could catch up the latest trends, thanks to my VBGF. She always shared her DOLLY, Seventeen, and TEEN.

I took journalism in college. The activity of reading mag became vigorous after the presenting of franchise magazine from US, Seventeen Indonesia and CosmoGirl Indonesia.

My interest in woman magazine I manage very well. I used it as the topic of my final report, The Woman Image in Her World Indonesia.

According to Jonathan Bignell (1997), woman magazine are glossy and colourful, connoting oleasure and relaxation rather than seriousness … the smell and feel of the glossy paper connotes luxury … femininity and it’s pleasure of self-adornment.

Since then I became critical reader which mean I’m not easly amazed by adv, wether it stand for itself or embedded in a rubric such as fashion and beauty buzz. I just buy what I need and what I can afford.

After I could earn money for myself, I started buy CHIC, simply because it’s promotional price. Then the honeymoon was over. I compared CHIC to monthly magazine from SG and MY, CLEO. The result: the price isn’t way too different and CLEO is thicker than CHIC.

So, for the last one year, I’m subscribing CLEO based on what available in store. This month I’ve got CLEO SG, last month CLEO MY. Do you CLEO???

summer love.

Summer sunshine peeking through my door, time to wake up
Put on something cool and pretty, now a little make up
Out on the walk there’s an ocean breeze
Hardly a cloud up above
And I’m on my way to you, my summer love
Stranger on the pathway seem to smile like they know me
Laughing children holding seashells they want to show me
Candy and soda and ice cream cones
But that’s not what I’m thinking of
I’m on my way to you, my summer love

I see you standing on the corner
Where the board walk meets the sand
Call your name, and you smile at me
Then you’re in my arms again
Holding my hand

Gliding down the street I know our hearts are together
Hoping that this magic day will go on forever
People may tell us that we’re too young
But I know that we’re old enough
And I love you, my own true summer love

super size me.

This is not story about ME!

Yesterday was documentary movie monthly day at the office. We watched a film by Morgan Spurlock “Super Size Me”. The film depicted about the obesity in US because they consume a lot of junk food.I’m not good at pursuing others (at the moment) through grammatically order phrases, so here are the recap from the movie…

Why are Americans so fat? Find out in Super Size Me, a tongue in-cheek – and burger in hand — look at the legal, financial and physical costs of America’s hunger for fast food.Ominously, 37% of American children and adolescents are carrying too much fat and 2 out of every three adults are overweight or obese. Is it our fault for lacking self-control, or are the fast-food corporations to blame?

Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock hit the road and interviewed experts in 20 U.S. cities, including Houston, the “Fattest City” in America. From Surgeon Generals to gym teachers, cooks to kids, lawmakers to legislators, these authorities shared their research, opinions and “gut feelings” on our ever-expanding girth.

During the journey, Spurlock also put his own body on the line, living on nothing but McDonald’s for an entire month with three simple rules:

  1. No options: he could only eat what was available over the counter (water included!)
  2. No supersizing unless offered
  3. No excuses: he had to eat every item on the menu at least once

It all adds up to a fat food bill, harrowing visits to the doctor, and compelling viewing for anyone who’s ever wondered if man could live on fast food alone.The film explores the horror of school lunch programs, declining health and physical education classes, food addictions and the extreme measures people take to lose weight and regain their health.

Super Size Me is a satirical jab in the stomach, overstuffed with fat and facts about the billion-dollar industry besieged by doctors, lawyers and nutritionists alike. “Would you like fries with that?” will never sound the same.

blogging.

Why blogging? (according to TypePad adv.)

  1. Blog to find a new job or to write about the one you have.
  2. Blog to broadcast news to the world or to share your individual passion.

Why bothering?

  1. Following the trends.
  2. A space to create a piece in logical order.
  3. Famous… famous…, since i blocked my way to be journalist/publicist (who’s fault is that?).

Check out these blogs (those are my fav blog at the moment)

So, enjoy reading, fella.
