I was going to wash my laundry just now. I opened my bedroom door, and this big package sat on the floor in front of me.

I know you're probably wondering why I'm blogging twice today. Something I don't usually do. But it doesn't matter.

The above video is a Twilight parody... I love it!!! So funny. Watch it guys it's worth your 3 minutes. Watching it made me remember how I hated (hate) Bella's dumb stuttering... "I..wha..n-no..! Y-you can't, Edward!'

Seriously I was so annoyed. She talked like she had something blocking her nose. Which can never be good.

Tomorrow I am watching a piano recital with Juen and her friend. I'm quite looking forward to it~ Oh wow I haven't met Juen in ages.

Right now I feel so tired... I have no motivation whatsoever to get working on any of my projects... I haven't even read the briefs so I don't know exactly how much work is in store for me. But for sure I know it's A LOT. They keep coming in...! Argh...!! And I keep getting lazier by the day. So not good. Is it just me? Or is everybody feeling the same way since the projects are getting incredibly annoying. I hate having to use indesign all the time!! I long for photoshop.

Actually I don't know what I long for. It seems right now all I want is to get away from all that design shit. I thought packaging would be fun but I can't even cut something neatly and my presentation standard is quite bad. So...

I don't like graphic design either. And I am quite sick of making posters. What exactly do I want?? What a hard one to answer. Since I am always changing drastically. I hate what I liked and like what I hated.

I remember I was on the phone with my student supervisor's son the other day. His name is Al, and he told me: "Did you know that the average retirement age for designers is around 30? Because they can't stand having to be creative all the time."

Perhaps I'm not yet 30. But I do feel that creeping in... that tiredness of picking fonts and varying the scales and angles of things making them look nice. Using special effects...

If I think about it, the only thing I haven't been bored of as yet is my blog. I don't remember ever saying "I'm bored of blogging". Perhaps "I'm not in the mood to blog" but never bored of it. Maybe it's because blogging is such a personal thing. And personal things interest me (maybe because I am a narcist? haha) much more than other stuff. But what the heck. You can't make a living out of your own personal being. Who wants to pay you just to know more about you?

Maybe I should consider the direction of a goldigger... Hmm

Sometimes I have this slight feeling of fear for the future. I guess everyone do. On my part, it's because I know myself, and I know I am quite restless, always seeking something different, if not extreme. I don't think I can live without change... that would be so depressing. But change can't be too good either. If I get married one day, I can't just easily decide to change because I'm bored of my partner. If I get a good-paying job I can't just quit because I'm sick of it (or can I).

Whatever. I believe in taking responsibilities and the older I grow, the more there will be. Responsibilities will cramp my world until there might be no more room to change and I'll have no more choice but to live the way it already is.

Perhaps when I turn 60 and have retired, I shall consider becoming a hippie or something.

So my Mum SMS-ed me early this morning, telling me that she opened the pages of KOMPAS (jakarta local newspaper) and was shocked to see me and my brother in it.


I think this is the first time I've been in a newspaper... lol. Thanks to Uniprep I now have the experience of both newspaper and brochure feature~

However!!!

I can't believe they let there be a mistake in the ad!!!
This was what I wrote for the Uniprep testimonial originally:

Uniprep provided me the set of mentality and skills that prepared me for Uni. Lessons (especially Design class) helped me build critical thinking, and opened my eyes to what Design really is and how to approach it. It was more complex than what I thought initially. I was fortunate enough to have the Uniprep experience so I do not struggle in the first few weeks of University life.


This is what was on the newspaper:

Uniprep provided me with the mentality and skills that prepared me for university. Lessons helped build critical thinking, and opened my eyes. It was more complex than what I thought initially. I was fortune enough to have the Uniprep experience so I do not struggle in the first few weeks of university life.



I read those words I put on bold for you and was like... what...?
Lessons opened my eyes.
I was fortune enough.


And why is it that my brother's quote had nothing wrong with it?? =.=;

Ah well whatever.

My brother asked me to make him a poster with a photo of him, and the words 'Rocking the centre stage like nobody's business' and 'Austen Kosasih proudly plays Ibanez bass'.

So I did.

Moonlight Densetsu - Moon Lips

Fighting evil by moonlight,

Winning love by daylight,

Never running from a real fight,

She is the one named Sailor Moon!

She will never turn her back on a friends,

She is always there to defend,

She is the one on whom we can depend,

She is the one named Sailor...

Sailor Venus!

Sailor Mercury!

Sailor Mars!

Sailor Jupiter!

With secret powers all so new to her,

She is the one named Sailor Moon.

Fighting evil by moonlight,

Winning love by daylight,

With her Sailor Scouts to help fight,

She is the one named Sailor Moon,

She is the one named Sailor Moon

She is the one

Sailor Moon!

If you're weirding out and wondering what the heck's with my sudden sailormoon obsession, well... the answer is, mychonny.

Watch till the end and you will see an epic dance I now watch on my iPhone every night right before I go to bed.

So today uni was just an excruciating pain in the ass. It was sooooooo...........ugh. Esp Tania's super long lecture... I wanted nothing more than for it to end. And then we had David's class where we presented our fringe stuff. Then he said something about some 25% of us still being 'naive in design' which is so... *stab*. I might be one of those 25%... because my fringe item was so messy and I didn't cut it neatly and I used wood glue on paper which cause ripples n shit. Oh nooo...! T_T

He also mentioned how in 2nd semester we will find out who will go on to the 2nd year... omg!!! *is afraid of getting feedback sheet and seeing a Fail or something*...

So it was all just so mentally tiring. And when we were done, it was SO COLD outside!!! Omg! It struck me then it's still winter. I was shivering and stuff and then I decided... I needed some alcohol.

And thus. I pulled Angel into the liquor shop beside my building and made her pay for my 200ml $5 purchase. Of course I paid her back once we got outside the shop. Then we found a seat outside and I just drank and we just chatted and all that. Drinking on a Monday noon is probably weird since according to Angel, people stared at me ._.

Haha whatever~ I don't care. I'll drink when I want to. Besides it's not like I'm addicted to it or anything and buy it all the time.

So does that answer your question why I drew usagi and mini usagi (what IS her name)? Because the mini usagi is underage, which is me. And then there's sailormoon. Because I AM OBSESSED WITH THE SAILORMOON THEME SONG!!! Gee thanks mychonny...

fighting evil the moonlight...

winning love by daylight...

never running from a REAL fight!

she's the one named sailormoon!

Little update: I forgot to mention this just now but... I cut Anita's hair! She has loooong black thick hair but there are lots of split ends and stuff. So I took out my scissors and trimmed all her hair!! Was so fun!! Wanna do it again!!

That's a random doodle of me. It's exactly what I'm wearing right now except I don't have the Grunny slippers. And I'm wearing the NASA shirt which I'm too lazy to put into detail. As for the weird thing at the right that's supposed to be my hand giving a thumbs-down but I fail at drawing so yeah. And those are my freshly painted blue nails :3

Anyway what I've been doing is... making my projects... omgggg. Die stupid projects! It took me so frikin long to make my fringe thing that I've been in a cussing-obsessed state for the whole day. Yes. I sometimes have the urge to cuss and cuss. Must be because of all that ShaneDawsonTV and mychonny videos on Youtube. Watch them! Esp mychonny's POCKY video. Haaa I love it. That guy is insane. Love.

Oh and on another note, I stopped facebook from automatically publishing my blog feeds. Facebook sure can kill a blog... I do like the fact that probably more people have been reading my posts but that plain white note page is just too fucking ugly. So yeah! If you're bored out of your mind and wanna read, go to juice-22.blogspot.com. No more facebook note stuff!

I shall confess my sin today: I downloaded music ._.

A few days ago I came across my long abandoned MySpace account which had my photo and lyric snippets of The Used's (how the hell do you pronounce that) song 'Smother Me'. Oooh I used to be sooo obsessed with that song! I think I used to play it every night before I go to sleep =p

Then I realised I don't have any The Used songs in my iTunes except for 'All That I've Got'! Now how the heck did that happen?? I had 3 of their albums once but they must have randomly disappeared. Happens all the time right.

So I downloaded... Blue and Yellow... Taste of Ink... The Bird and The Worm... Let It Bleed... etc etc.

I also heard the accoustic version of All That I've Got on imeem.com and omg what happened to his voice??? He sounded sooo horrible I actually thought maybe it was someone else singing. Anyway check it out if you're into all that.

Random:

• I have Illustrator, inDesign, Photoshop, and Manga Studio all open and it's giving me a headache.
• I had lunch twice today. It's supposed to increase my metabolism rate ._. only I guess the portions were a bit big...
• I also ate a banana for snack
• I still have yet to fold my laundry

...omg. I just remembered that I still haven't done my organic magazine spread thingy. Shit!!

Below is all a vague, abstract dream.

Brother was missing. I was alone in my wooden room and I rummaged through all the old cabinets which I remember from my childhood home. The door was open, and a scrawny hunchback old man with bulging eyes and a few strands of white hair gazed at me quietly. The caretaker. I shooed him away since I didn't want him seeing where I put my secret keys. But the moment I took my eyes off him, he appeared at my door again. I shooed him away again. He appeared again, thinking I wouldn't notice. He wanted to see where I hid my keys. What an annoying old man. With that suspicious, ratty look.

Finally I just took the keys, opened my drawers, and collected all my valuables. The old man eyed me. Then as I walked out of my room, the floor shook. Objects rattled on cabinets. I couldn't see her but I knew she was there. Behind the door at the end of the corridor. I could feel her evil presence, which made the old man ecstatic with glee. I didn't like it at all. A black cat walked into the room and was eaten.

I hurried to the living room. The evil presence was getting stronger. Strong wind started blowing outside with heavy rain that came out of nowhere. My Mom and Dad were sitting relaxed on couches and I urged them in serious whispers. We have to leave. Now. Take all there is to take for this perilous journey. So my father wrapped up half a watermelon for our source of food and drink. We went into the car. That in itself was quite a hard task.

We were looking for brother. Or were we? For me I just wanted to escape that girl. But she was there, she followed us. I can't see her but I knew her. With the old man she was, tailing our car.

Our destination was the graveyard. By then brother was with us. We frantically searched for the tombstone of the girl. And somehow we found it. Father used all his strength to pull off a golden plate with her name. I knew that name. But I can't remember it now. It was a name I've never heard of but I knew.

The girl and the old man was still on our tails, horrified when they knew we had taken off the gold plate. But they were too late. We went into a little shop where we traded the gold plate for $100,000. I turned around and saw her for perhaps the first time. She seemed both sad and angry. She had a blue face. She looked at me - us.



The rest of the dream didn't have anything to do with that one, and certainly they were more pleasant. I don't even know how accurate my memory is but yeah. The scariest part of this was probably at the beginning. I was really freaking out in my dream. I wanted nothing more but to escape.

What's with my dreams? :(
I can't complain though, they're interesting :D

Heeey how you guys doing :D

Some of you know me, I never really stick to one thing for long. And I have a very versatile music taste. And thus I announce:

I AM BACK TO LOVING ROCK.

=p


I've been listening to Bon Jovi and B'z mostly. Guys please watch that video on top it's B'z and such an awesome performance that is. Look at the amount of audiences!!! That must be... millions? If I could I'd be within them too =p

In addition to them, there's also Otsuka Ai and Ayumi Hamasaki. But I skip all the slow songs and listen to the hyperactive ones. I guess I'm just being like that. Restless.

So today was a pretty good day. I actually have lots of creative juice in me today! I think it's partly 'cause David Cutter gave me good suggestions. I swear there's something to learn in every project.

After class today I stayed at the computer lab for around 2 hours where I developed my designs. I was afraid of losing the creative strike if I left the building and went home =.=; Hey it happens.

Aside from all that, I've really been wanting to dye my hair =.= I don't mind highlight either. Dyeing all my hair red sounds scary now. I'm thinking of getting highlights in some bright colour.

So yesterday I had the most disappointing morning where my plans for Open Day were cancelled =.='. I called my brother to call him what he's up to but he's busy for church and all. He invited me but it's too far and I don't know where it is.

I was thinking of going back home but I already walked all the way to the station and there would be absolutely nothing to do at home but do projects - which would suck. I was pondering what to do when it came across my mind - hey! I haven't seen Chu in ages!

And so Vina decided to do some catching up with old friend Chu. I bought a $5 ticket to Glen Waverly.




It smells of Promegenate and I so love it. Sadly, the scent doesn't last... Omggg complaaiinnn!

And as we were heading home, we passed this store selling grilled chicken and it smelled soooooo good. We were outdoors already and it was rather chilly which made the smell even more tempting.


That is a very bad photo.

Anyway so we bought some and brought them home. I decided to have dinner with Chu and her Mom.

The soup we had.

I thought today's a pretty cold day and my Dad called and we chatted. He told me to go out and bask in the sunlight. So... I did. On a winter day. Play that video to get a clue what the weather was like.

So I spent 40mins in total just walking around the neighborhood and taking photos of pretty flowers I walked past.

Here's a weird tree... it's so weird and disgusting don't you think? Reminds me of a big caterpillar...omg. Ew.

Flowers! I love flowers!!!
