.: miserable :.

whoever said that heartache is worse than toothache (that's you, meggy z, RIP) probably haven't experienced my kind of pain. there are no doctors for heartache, yes, but hanging out with friends help a bit. crying help a lot. I almost wanted to kick my roommate for saying she has never had any teeth problem in her life ever and don't understand how people can have bad teeth, so scratch hanging out with friends... and crying only makes it worse. I think it's about time to just go to the dentist and get rid of my molar forever. I won't miss it for sure. I may miss the money I'm going to hand to the dentist, though... The bright side of this is that I'm not eating as much anymore, yay! I can't even imagine eating rice (which is not unusual... I don't like rice that much) or anything solid... My nicer roommates bought me KFC and immediately my tooth hurts, so no KFC and korean bbq for me.

.: cold, cold days :.

It's been pouring since yesterday, and it looks like it's going to rain again today. My brain is practically fried, and my creative wires are not connecting. During the summer I need to reorganize how my mind works, because right now it's just keep on shutting down. Memory overload... need more external hard drive a.k.a new sketchbooks. What's with the computer lingo? I don't know why, really :D

It's my birthday today, yay! :)  Thanks to technology such as Blackberry Messenger and facebook, I got more birthday wishes than I could asked for. My friends in Indo has been sending me tons of messages since yesterday. I want to share some birthday morning photos:

.: the daily chippie :.

I cannot get enough of this dog. He's the Marley of Bichon Frise! I give my roommates daily update on their youngest's mischief, so we came up with the idea of having a daily chippie journal. Who's going to write it? Yours truly, of course.
Let me introduce you to Chippie a.k.a cipiak a.k.a monster.  Number 1 hobby : licking everything. His daily misadventures will be available here. password: merdeka  (don't ask, it's an inside joke)

.: curse of online shopping :.

Current obsessions:

Anthropologie basically rules my wardrobe. Every single season. Everything that I bought from them remains my favorite for the longest time. I still like everything I got from them 10 years ago (I just can't fit into them anymore :p)
