Random Notes (a.k.a. too lazy to blog)

1. I love this season's American Idol. Never been following it religiously until this year. The contestants are highly talented and diverse, and it's refreshing to see a lot of different songs, rather than just seminal, overplayed hits.
But everytime I hear Paula's incessant, saccharine-coated, meaningless rambling, I feel like going into TV and bitch-slap her.

2. If there's a drug to heal procrastination, I'm all for it. It's an old habit that partly cured because of daily deadline and having editors around. But these days, I'm like, super swamped with works for one or two weeks, and be couch potato the rest of the month. While I can actually spread the works instead of pushing them until the deadlines. But this bitch can't just help it.

3. My friend Lia is right. At one point, smoking is worse than drug addiction. At least drug addicts only ruin their own bodies and not spewing cocaine and make people around them sick because of passive shooting.
And I totally agree with the phrase "having smoking section inside a restaurant is like having pee section in a swimming pool." If you don't believe me, try go to Coffee Bean Plaza Senayan.

4. Indonesian people's obsession over fair skin is really sick. I have a 5 year-old niece who happens to have dark skin. Her parents vowed not to make a big deal out of it to avoid self esteem issues. But man, people just can't leave the poor girl alone -- from her own grandparents (my mother!), my in-laws, her friends, cousins..
I nearly cried when she asked her mother, my sister, "Mom, I'm ugly, aren't I? Cause I'm so dark." Next time somebody mock you because of your skin, girl, let auntie know and I'm gonna beat their asses!

5. It's a long overdue, I know, but I finally learn how to cook! I always wanted to do it to save up some money and to eat healthier food but never really have the intention to do it. Until two months ago, and I enjoy it very much so far. And I'm not bad at all! Recipes are welcome :)

6. Seriously, if we can afford it, we wouldn't have chosen to live in the suburb in the first place. Seriously.

7. SBY is such a wuss and seems to have a questionable taste in arts. If I were an artist and SBY is touched by my works, I shouldn't see it as a good sign. And for god's sake, will you stop crying already??

8. Whoever invented yoga, you're a god, man!!
