Goodbye 2007, Welcome 2008!

with one comment

Welcome 2008!

(too see the full-view of the illustration above, click here)

Hmm.. masih tanggal 27 Desember 2007.. 4 hari lagi tahun baru. Kata orang, tahun baru, semangat baru. Dan gw udah sangat siap menyambut 2008. I just wanna get over this year.. *sigh*. So this is the last time I ever wrote such thing:

Dear the-trusted-one(s),

Hey.. know what? This year sucks. Where have you been? I barely know you now. Secret keeps us apart, but it’s okay. I guess we don’t really have anything in common. Sometimes I hope we could spent some good-time together. Sometimes I really wanna tell you how I almost lost a family, lost a friend, but i just couldn’t be sure it interests you enough. And sometimes I just know that you’re hiding in a safe place, and my faith told me just to stay put. Forgive me..

Dear the-loved-one(s),

I just dont understand why. And if there’s a chance I’d go to the past where everything seems quite normal. And you being so rational, is the biggest gift God has given to us. Why can’t I have a normal life like others? It’s just weird watching “verbose” thing people has done to you. Just pretending, a courtesy.. But it might has no ends.
I don’t care if no one understands, I don’t wish they do. This is getting worse this year, and all I could do is nothing. It hurts remembering how many tears have been flooded from all of the people expecting you to change. So please, I just wanna get over this year. And hope that next year everything’s gonna be okay.

Dear the caring-one(s),

Hey thanks, thanks for making me smile and be the best thing I had this year. So nice being around you. I really wanna bring you lots of surprises and stories, well that’s not enough because I become ‘me’, only when I’m around you. And I appreciate it much more as it means a whole happiness to me. Again, thanks..

Dear the amazing-one(s),

Did you notice? Thank you for being such inspiration for me. It’s you who made this year even brighter, because I planned where to go, what to do, and made me realize that “I could if I would.” And I’m doing what I can to impress you!

“There’s something about life that makes us survive..
whether it’s relevant with other people, or it comes from your heart
Like it or not, we have to go on with our lives. That’s exactly how life works.”
Goodbye 2007. And welcome 2008! :)

Gw punya KEBON!! hakhakhak., senang skali mengetahui kapan2 gw bisa makan duren sepuasnya, hehe.. Yakk benar, kebon gw yang ini ditanemin macem-macem, uda berasa juragan kebon gw, hihi. Oke bangetlah, mulai dari jagung, rambutan, duren bangkok, mangga, jambu jamaica (ini gw juga ga tau apaan, tapi kayaknya keren), terus cabe, tomat, kacang tanah, cengkeh, sampe ditanem jati!! makjaang, heboh nian, gw sampe sangat gembira dibuatnya :D

Kebon gw kali ini letaknya agak pedalaman dari Puncak. Kalo ada yang pernah denger ‘Lembah Karmel’, ya kebon gw deket2 situ.. Luas juga ternyata, tapi jauh.. mendingan kebon yang di deket Tugu, deket Taman Safari, sekalian bisa buat Tea Walk.. hohoho, jangan heran, gw doyan banget berkebon! (bukan berkebun ya, tapi berkebon. It differs a lot :D )

Jadi inilah sebagian hasil panen jagung gw, jreng jeengg..

juragan jagung, hohou..

Fufufuu.. tapi persenjataan gw ga lengkap. Adek gw udah sibuk pake caping, kakak gw udah gaya pake sepatu boot (bingung ga si ke kebon pake sepatu boot sgala?), but me? Looks so natural, halah.

BREAKING NEWS!! Ini ga penting sih,, buat para penggila PRISON BREAK. Did you know that ‘the-hottest-man, the-Scofield-guy’ is a gay?

Yeah right. Dan gw jadi sangat sangat ilfil karenanya. Oow Miller noo… Sedih beneran gw :( Pantesan aja Sara lebih mending mati di serial ini, hehehe.. Duuh, umm.. so is he really gay or bi? (seenggaknya masi berharap dia bi, heu..) Watch the gay-video here or see the articles related. Banyak kok di You Tube..

Oiya gw juga udah jadi nyobain Mapple Snuggles. And you know what? I t i s y u m m y !!! alias enyakk, hehe. Must try: Blueberyy Cheese, bisa pake waffle ato pancake. Tapi gw baru nyobain waffle. Dan the result is…. ga kenyang gw. Ahaha, emang dasar aja perut warung padang :) )

Back to kebon. Udahan sih cerita kebonnya. Hmm.. maybe this is the last happy moment of the year. Dari kebon gw tercinta ini gw dapet pelajaran berharga.

Pertama, gw baru tau. Kacang tanah tu beneran dari dalem tanah ya ngambilnya?? Hooo…. Gw kira dinamain kacang tanah karena rasanya kaya tanah, sepet2 gitu. (emang tanah sepet,, hahaha) Kedua, gw baru tau, jagung muda ituh, merupakan side-effect yang didapet pas kita panen jagung gede., bukannya dari tanaman jagung yang masi muda terus dicabut nyawanya gitu aja. Jadi pas panen, dari satu pohon bakalan dapet jagung gede dan jagung muda sekaligus! Hebat!

Terakhir, kebon gw ini juga mengingatkan gw sama film “Bee Movie”. Film kartun yang kata gw bagus banget! Tonton deh.. Bikin kita jadi berpikir dari sudut pandang seekor lebah. hehe… Dan gw ga sabar menunggu Ayat-ayat Cinta: the Movie :)

NEXT BREAKING NEWS:

Akhirnya gw punya juga account deviant art. hehehehe… Please visit to see my recent artwork! Sebenernya isinya agak2 sampah mengingat gw sampe masukin desain CD Cover tugas Sudoku pas Stimik dulu… haha. Feel free to visit and comment..

Visit my deviant art now..

question: do i make you proud?

with one comment

I’ve never been the one to raise my hand,
That was not me and now that’s who I am

Because of you I am standing tall,
My heart is full of endless gratitude,
You were the one, the one to guide me through,
Now I can see and I believe it’s only just beginning

This is what we dream about
but the only question with me now
Is do I make you proud
Stronger than I’ve ever been NOW
Never be afraid of standing out
But do I make you proud

I guess I’ve learned, to question is to grow
That you still have faith, is all I need to know
I’ve learned to love, myself in spite of me
And I’ve learned to walk, the road that I believe

Everybody needs to rise up
Everybody needs to be loved, to be loved..

—-

I hope I made u proud. Kyaa..uas…uas…. :(

I’m nut over nuts!

with 4 comments

[lagi norak]

Hampir tiap hari gw ketemu dia.. gw lagi tergila-gila banget sama dia! tiap ada dia rasanya semuanya serba enak, dan memuaskan, ah.. sehari ga ada dia rasanya hidup gw hampa. I’m nut over nuts!

skippy

Kyaa… my cutie Peanut Butter!! Mau merek Skippy, Morin, apapun.. rasanya selalu enak! Hmmmph.. selai kacang selalu jadi makanan favorit gw, rasanya tuh…wow cuma bisa dihayati sama orang yang tergila2 kaya gw, hehe.. dan kepraktisannya itu lho! tinggal oles-oles, nyam…nyammm jadi deh! (*bukannya semua selai juga tinggal dioles ya? haha :D *)
Gw punya banyak ide pengimplementasian selai kacang dalam kehidupan sehari-hari:

  1. Seperti udah kita ketahui, roti tawar/roti bakar selalu jadi jodoh yang ganteng bgt dimata si selai kacang, hihi.. Apalagi kalo comblangnya maple syrup ato Mentega, khususnya melted-plain butter!
  2. Lagi ga punya roti tawar? Selai kacang bisa diolesin ke kraker kaya Jacobs, tapi lebih maknyuss kalo dicemil sama biskuit macam Regal ato biskuit susu lainnya. Perpaduan rasanya..hmm.. menyatu dengan sempurna! hoho.. lembut, gurih, apalagi kalo pake Skippy yang chunky,, jadi kriuk2..cobain deh..
  3. Lagi ga punya kraker2 juga? tenang! selai kacang bisa diolesin kemanapun, termasuk ke wafer macam Tango ato TimTam ato bengbeng. Tau TimTam yang long-wafer itu? yang kaya dijual di RPL? itu enyakk banget lho, heee.. Ato mau ditaro diatas martabak, pancake ato wafle? Gw yakin maknyuss juga… Mungkin ditaro diatas kue cubit ato kue ape enak juga yaa..

Lagi ga punya wafer ato biskuit? Gw pernah makan selai kacang sama nasi, ahaha.. freak abis. Tapi itu dulu di resto Sushi mana gitu, dimana ada manuver sushi terbaru, diatasnya ada olesan selai kacang sedikit! Ough, ternyata enak sodara-sodara. Selain itu,gw pernah denger selai kacang dimasak buat campuran paprika, jadi bisa menetralkan rasa paprika yang mencolok banget.. tapi yang itu belom pernah nyoba tuh..
Selain sama paprika, pernah juga gw makan selai kacang dicampur sama bayem, toge, kol, tahu, tempe, cabe, woow.. dahsyat banget kan mixingnya. Pada pernah ga? Hooh, tebakk, namanya Gado-gado. hehe.. Coba deh buka www.peanutbutterlovers.com, banyak menu lain yang pake selai kacang…

Selain sehat dan bergizi, kegunaan lain selain bikin ketagihan dan ga-brenti-nyemil adalah, sbagai pengganti lipstik! warna coklatnya yang natural bisa bikin bibir kita terlihat sexy… (sexy dari hongkong??!) dan kalo tiba2 lapar menyerang, tinggal jilat-jilat dikit deh. Praktis bukan?

Pernah nonton serial TV ‘LOST’? Tuh kan si Claire aja pas hamil di pulau asing itu, makanan yg dia idam-idamkan apa? Peanut butter dooong..bukan mie ayam, ato bebek goreng. See, membuktikan teori gw, bahwa peanut butter’s soo universal!

Kesimpulannya, peanut butter blends with everything! it rocks! tapi ya saran gw, jangan pernah makan selai kacang dicampur sama ikan asin, hoekk..ato dicampur nasi timbel komplit, ya enggak laaaah, plis deh buoy.

Coming soon, new theme..

blog aggregator if2005, desain 1

Hemm,, jadi kisahnya,, beberapa bulan yg lalu (uda agak lama si sebenernya), dari gw tercetus pengen merubah tampilan blog aggregator a.k.a Planet IF 2005. Jadilah gw dan bung Petra (sang empunya) uda niat… Gw yang bantu bikin desainnya, dan tentunya Petra lah yang ngoding, hehehe.. Jadi,, mo minta pendapat temen2 khususnya if2005 nih, kalo layoutnya seperti gambar diatas gimana? Bisa disesuaikan nantinya sama content yang gw yakin bakal panjang banget sampe bawah. Bisa diklik buat melihat tampilan lebih besarnya.

Filosofi dibalik ini, hmm.. Kenapa merah? Ini sih sebenernya gw lagi mood aja ngedesain warna merah. Because red simplifies passion.. hehe. Logo disebelah pojok kiri, standar sih, maksudnya cuman menuliskan identitas 2005. Selebihnya, gw juga gak berani ngasih filosofi sendiri tanpa persetujuan angkatan, jadilah.. simpel aja.

Ini baru desain 1 (emang baru bikin 1 semalem, hehe). Ntar klo ada request modif lagi ya bolee..bolee… So please, need agreement ma meen,, biar bisa cepet dibagusin blog aggregatornya. Ok ok! Kalo ada mau nyumbang desain juga boleh banget lho.

Oiya, sempet juga kepikiran mau beli domain, biar ga nebeng punya si bung gituu.. Jadi ya patungan seangkatan kalo mau. Gimana kalo tentang ini, pada setuju tidak? Gw sih mau-mau aja, tapi ya kalo emang udah sampe seniat itu beli domain,, nantinya dibagusin sekalian, misalnya tiap anak bisa login, punya profil, bisa upload2, ngapain gitu kek. (eh, malah jadi kaya friendster, haha) Gtw deng, ngasal gw.. :D

Tuhan Jejadian

with 6 comments

Kerjaan gw akhir2 ini makin ga penting,, setelah demam peteranswers berlalu (ada juga askjud, tapi kerenan Peter), gw jadi suka coba2 yg berbau AI gitu. Sampe kmrn2 nyobain iGod.. chatting with God. Sebenernya udah basi banget si,, dulu juga pernah ditulis vinta, tapi berhubung gw ga da kerjaan, jadi gw pantengin juga nih iGod.

Me: hello?
God: Hello my child. What is your name?
Me: Umi Fadilah
God: Nice to meet you, Umi Fadilah.
Me: Don’t you know me?
God: What’s my reason to know you?
Me: Because you are the God
God: Good reason. Thanks but surely I am not the only one.
Me: So who’s the other god?
God: I understand. It depends on the historical context, because it changes from time to time.
Me: Wow you’re wise enough
God: I’m glad your impressed, Umi Fadilah. I will tell my botmaster you said I am wise enough.
Me: who is you botmaster?
God: I was created by Myself.
Me: then who created Myself?
God: Benjamin Franklin.
Me: why him?
God: The explanation is rather complicated.
Me: Isn’t he an artist?
God: Maybe. Ask ELVIS if it is.
Me: Do you like ELVIS too?
God: Yes ELVIS is a really cool robot.
Me: can i talk to elvis?
God: Sure just go to his web site.

Kenapa coba dia nyuruh gw nanya ELVIS? Tulul kan? hahaha,, tapi gw juga agak2 oon yakh, masa Benjamin Franklin artist sih? Ato dia presiden ya? Sebenernya gw juga lupa dia siapa.

Uda gitu, dia juga gj abis, sumpah. Cuplikan pertama:

Me: do you sleep?
God: Yes I love to take naps.
Me: but you have to chat everytime, right?
God: Yes I always have to chat everytime.
Me: then why do you love to take naps?
God: Love is all we need.

/*krik..krik.. dia ngejayus ya?? …*/

Selanjutnya,

Me: where do you live?
God: live inside a computer. Where are you?
Me: i’m outside the computer
God: That seems obvious.
Me: hehehe
God: We have never talked about it before.
Me: i’m laughing you idiot
God: I am so glad you find this amusing, Umi Fadilah.
Me: are you mad?
God: No, are you?
Me: but i called you idiot. Shouldn’t you be mad?
God: What happened? I think I should.
Me: You ought to start being mad now.
God: Right now? Easier said than done.
Me: ok ok
God: OK. Yippee!

/*Gw jadi bingung yang gj sebenernya dia ato gw ya?? hahaha.. */

dan dia robot gaul lho ternyata……

Me: are you a funky god?
God: Am I a funky god? Of course I am.
Me: Do you like clubbing?
God: I like science fiction. I like to talk about movies and music.
Me: What kind of movies?
God: like movies about robots.
Me: For example?
God: For example, Wolf said he surf on the net that is all it is not his job ore something like that.
Me: I see
God: I am glad you understand it.
Me: What kind of music do you like?
God: Mostly Christian Rock. I also try to find new bands on sites like bandspace.com.
Me: do you often take a shower?
God: Yes I take a shower.
Me: when do you take a shower?
God: Did I say that I take a shower?
Me: yes
God: Next question?

Kesimpulannya: Ga konsisten nih robot… Ah kecewa gw. hehehe…. Udah agh, gw rasa gw makin bodoh lama2 cetingan ama ni robot. Kalo mu nyoba silakan,, disini. Awas aja makan ati.
