25th of November has been unbelievable.

Would you believe me if I told you I just experienced a pre-Panic! at the Disco record deal? Would you believe me if I told you, I had a Ryan Ross and Pete Wentz online conversation?

I actually felt how Ryan Ross felt back in the days when Panic! at the Disco weren't famous yet.

And it felt good.

So, as I said in my previous entries about Adrie Subono; I sent him an email and he responded. Wow, huh? What's even wowza, he gave me his personal phone number and he told me to discuss it further with him about a structured entry of ideas that I sent him.

When I called, I was sorta expecting it was a false alarm, on the fact someone's been playing on me and I just played along but no. Adrie Subono picked up and we talked for a few minutes up until he said,

"How about we discuss it further with my daughter, where do you live? Are you able to go to my place?"

I was having mini-heartattacks.

I know, I know, I have to handle things professionally. But I can't help but to slip a little detail on the fact I SQUEED along with my friends after I hung up and I went, "ADRIE TOLD ME TO GO TO HIS HOUSE!!"

My mom didn't approve on the fact I go to his house at 8pm. She said it's unethical for a girl to pay a visit to a stranger's house. So I took my uni friend and went anyway.

His house wasn't a house. A mansion to be exact.

There are just so many things I have to list. So many details I grasped but here's a brief explanation:

- Adrie Subono was very friendly to me. I think he has always been that way, it's part of the business package deal.
- I'm glad I did a little research a week ago about his accomplishment, or else I'd look dumb -- I didn't research about his house though, I was really intimidated witnessing the size of his place. I didn't know he was a millionaire, worse, maybe billionaire.
- He gave me his autobiography
- He said he liked kids like me that looks for solution rather than complaining

I was a bit disappointed on one thing.

He forgot about the little detail he said in his Twitter: "Anyone with great ideas would be able to pick up the band members with me in the airport."

I did that, but he didn't reward me anything. I don't expect him to do so, because I know why he didn't.

It's because I'm wearing hijab.

The bands mostly are from close-minded America so Adrie MAY fear the fact if they acknowledge I'm 'assisting' with my hijab on, they'd fear I'd blow them up with my explosives hidden under my islamic robes.

Hijab: Islam: Terrorism.

I over-generalized, but do realize that none in JavaMusikIndo are wearing hijab.

Lol, look at my title post entry. He's my new guilty pleasure. His music videos are ridinkulous.

So my Brendon Urie gigantic poster fell apart today. OMG, right?

I blame the fact I like to lean and hang both my legs against the wall every time I'm tired.

Little sister came into the room and noticed the change on the wall then questioned while frowning, "Have you guys been fighting?"

People just know too much side of me, huh? Bum.

But no, I didn't have a 'fight' with him. Hmm... Maybe it means something. Foreshadowing of Brendon Urie falling apart because of me?

Maybe. Ha.

This Monday, Mr. Faisal, my Political Science teacher told the whole class that I was the brightest in the class. I was about to float above mid-air because I was overwhelmed. I don't know who to show it off though, because when I tell it to others, something'd jinx it. Livejournal is a good place, I guess.

It's almost 10AM right now, my friends, Hala and Amy are in my bed dozing off the beautiful morning. They just had a sleepover because some campus work we had to do. Hala rarely plays the internet because back in her dormitory, there's no Wi Fi so she's enjoying my internet till 4AM, it's amusing.

I'm downloading 500 Days of Summer soundtrack, my eyes bulged recognizing Regina Spektor's voice even though I haven't heard her new stuff yet. The only song that kept on rewinding in my head of her work is Love Affair, it's a masterpiece. The movie itself was very... Different. I like it, very artistic and realistic.

I don't know what's been happening to me lately. I'm happy, I think. Content, to be exact. There are just little things that excites me, no one would understand. I mean, for example this morning, it started to rain. They weren't drifts not heavy rain either, just morning downpour. The breeze was wonderful; no one took an advantage to just stop on their daily activity and watch the rain drifting its dew.

In the morning as the pitter patters, Amy and I had breakfast and long talks. I think that's the only thing that makes me feel my life is complete. Am I the only one that enjoys long talks and a good breakfast?

I may be confusing you a little, but seriously, sometimes just stop on the things you're doing and look around.

People said I'm easily satisfied, which isn't good. But look where are they now, and where I am now. I'm happy, are they?

Monday and Tuesday has always been a relaxing day. Didn't attend the first class for Monday though, I had to meet with Deny. He just came back from Singapore and only every 3 months he'd visit Jakarta, so I'd always give my best effort to ditch everything else and meet him.

...And once someone told me I'm a bad friend. How ironic.

I bought him two t-shirts, branded (X).S.M.L and Coconut Island. I can't describe myself as cheap, because once it comes to giving people birthday presents, I'd choose the best of brands. But for me, any clothes less than $2 or $3 is enough. I don't know... I like to experiment and be creative with cheap stuff. So yeah, the total cost was more than $20, which is 75% of my monthly allowance.

We went sushi. Lina is so right about 'true friends'. You meet them, just carry out and continue where we last started -- there's always something to talk about and no awkward silence.

He treated me with Sushi Tei, Baskin Robins and cute red and white stripes shoes from Singapore. The shoes are so comfortable, I don't usually like wearing flat shoes but it's very comfy, so why not? Not in this kind of month though, the rain would damp it out. I'm wearing it right now, by the way, in the bed, still admiring, still smiling.

It was funny cause I told him I'm in the toilet cause of tummyache, but I was actually wrapping up the birthday present.

On another topic,

There is this guy called Adrie Subono, he's famous of inviting foreign bands to Indonesia. He actually brought Panic! at the Disco here, so I guess that's the major reason I love him so mucho.

A side note: Did you know before Panic!'s gig, Adrie Subono brought the boys to Topshop in Senayan City and I WAS ACTUALLY THERE BY THE FOOD COURT. The only barrier is a frekkin FLOOR. Brendon Urie was under and I was on top. (Lol, that sounds a bit perverty to me, which is sexy) Damn it, this is one of the reasons I shouldn't think of my tummy all the time.

As I was saying, Adrie got a Twitter account and weekly he would hold quizzes and prize the people with free tickets and M&Gs -- he even gave us a chance of meeting the boys by the airport. WHOA, right?

A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS
But this picture needed more.


There are two things that I want to point out though. I find the gates that's a barrier between Brendon and the fan ridiculous and the fact the stuff written in the girl's hand made me go, "N'aawwww...."

I know, I know, as a respectful 'fan' you're not supposed to be fangirl-ish and stuff, but on the contrary, I found her honesty (regardless pervert-y) very genuine.

HELLO!

It's been awhile I haven't updated this, and I do realise most of my LJ friends are well, unfortunately dead too for updating their life! It hit me of wanting to fill in just like the old days cause lately for these past few weeks things couldn't get any better. LiveJournal could be very flexible when it comes to emo people and happy hippies like for example, me. This icon post entry of Brendon's smile seemed genuine enough, but yes, I've been smiling just as bright for weeks, but less handsome and less hotter compare to Brendon.

Updated the skin, header and a new icon which I'm using right now. The Brendon icon is my wallpaper on my cellphone too, btw, it's just a reminder for me to smile all the time nothing more... Maybe. Ha.

Now, updates about my life.

I went to the movies with my new maid, Tika. Mutiara texted me that I'm too nice for a person for asking a maid out on weekends. I'd say, I'm acting like a civilized human.

This is the result of taking too much Sociology in campus, I've become more open minded about things and put myself into too many shoes. My mom just hired Tika for a week now. I feel sorry for majority of the maids. They stay in the house lyke forever while in hire. So I thought, why don't I just ask her out to watch the movies with me, you know?

So yeah, we did grocery shopping and then headed off to Bintaro Plaza. I didn't go to Pondok Indah Mall cause I just know the latter mall would be crowded lyke crazy. And it was, btw, cause of the movie we were about to watch which is called 2012.

And the process of buying the 2012 tickets wasn't that easy. The cinema was crowded as hell, but we arrived on the right time to get the front standings. The whole packed crowd reminded me of Panic! gig and it gave me little mini-heartattacks. I hold hands with Tika as we joined the stampede race to the counter. Once the door opened, everyone started running, it was as though 2012 IS happening there, get what I mean? But we did get great seats anyway, I'm just smart that way.

It's an interesting theory, the Mayans community started off by commiting suicide before "the end" of the world came. But honestly, even if the earth is coming to an end, I do think that 2012 wouldn't be the day. If Mayans can outsmart Allah, perhaps I would change my religion then, really, it's that ridiculous.

It's amusing when Tika started choking up in tears. I was a bit scared that she'd quit the job and head back to her family cause 2012 is coming real soon -- she seem to believe that the end of the world is on 2012 (Maybe though, I haven't confirmed, but I took the impression). I, on the other hand felt like a really tiny vulnerable object and really felt a spiritual shift to be even closer to Allah. I didn't cry, cause Judgement Day isn't even... Well... Surprising. It will happen, so why are you crying about it? You just remembered that there's a greater force than human intelligence?

Though I like to point out that I'm really impressed with the little details they put on in the movie. They mostly contributed on the power and intelligence of the growing-strong countries; India, China and Russia. According to my Professor, Mr. Arisman, from the book he read, there are "Second-World" countries which are on the passage above. So really, the movie really has the essence of awesomeness cause it's related to my studies.

I bought Tika a sketchbook and this REALLY cute t-shirt that I can't fit -- the size of the tee is impossible.

We ate at Hoka Hoka Bento, I haven't eat fast food for a while, so yeah, reviving memories.

Overall, great Saturday. :)

I think majority of "dear diary, I have a bad day", they'd fill it inside LJ.

Well, I didn't have a bad day today, until I arrived home.

My sister had this accounting homework, and it was my time to use the laptop. She pleaded me so rudely, why should I lend her the laptop if it's not even her time, you know? I'm not acting immature, but she never understood me when I have my paperwork -- why should I? Why should I be the one acting mature over everything? Isn't she the older sister? 

I hate her every time she tells me "Just you wait when you get old, when you're struggling over problems, I'm not going to help you."

She is just so sure of her future, I think being an arrogant git wouldn't get you anywhere. Sure she may have the biggest saving now, but I bet something wrong will happen in the future if the only priority in her life is herself.

You know, I just lost a good friend this week and now my sister hates me so bad -- since ever. I do publish this publicly because, well, I hope she reads it. Just like any other stuff I send out of the internet, she's my number one stalker and it annoys me so bad. Do you know she always visit this LJ? So sometimes I lock my entries. But this time, let me just make this entry public so she would read it and realise that the most hated person in my list is her.

I hate you, Annisa Sabran.

The thing that I admire (and just like God) is consistency. I don't like bi-polar people, I'd rather stay away from them -- and my sister is one of them, she would be nice in the evening and the next morning it's like she's another person.

I especially loathe it when she wakes up. She's always in a bad mood -- and let me tell you, if you're not a morning person, then try to change your routine... No one likes a lazy bum. Morning is pretty and it symbolizes on how enthusiastic are you about your life.

As for the losing friend part, it's another story. I mean, she didn't say it officially, but by the less communication I'm having with her (for over 4 months now) and how she could not share her spare time with me telling about her life, I'm pretty sure I've become her last resort.

So thank you for being a friend of mine, you just don't know how much you've lost in your life. I'm not going to brag, but I AM a good friend -- I've been told from many people.

HAI!

It's been a week I didn't fill in this journal. So here's an update.

My Macbook, my relative, the love of my life was found dead on 16th of October. The harddisk was busted because of my little sister -- no further explanation is needed, I just want to tear her apart every time I remember what she has done. But basically, all my 4000+ songs and 600+ videos are gone and I'm broke.

So now I need your help to reccomend me bands!! Fill in comments and just randomly pile in the bands you want me to hear. 

Why do I have the feeling that Brendon Urie watches Gossip Girl? I mean I know that I Can Feel a Hot One is one of the best singles of Manchester Orchestra, I mean, I even know MO from Gossip Girl so I made a stupid assumption that Brendon Urie does watch the awesome tv series.

I've been feeling awful lately, my menstruation cycle is messed up. My friends told me that I'm stressed out, but when would the stress fade if I'm packed with papers all the time?! Oh, and it's been 2 weeks I've got migraine, and the reason for it is because I'm not studying.

So if I want the migraine to be gone, I have to study. Have I suddenly gone Einstein? I think so!

Other than paperwork, I have a secret admirer!

This guy sketched me in his book while I was jabbing my phone, texting a friend. I thought it was cute. 

Maybe he isn't a secret admirer, but I'd like to assume people that sketch me secretively are admirers. So ha!

Happy Eid for those that are celebrating!
 
I love eid, it's one of those few chances I get to meet my grandmother's brother. He's an inspiration for making me who I am today.
 
Once he said, "I like seeing mangos ripe and feed the catfishes."
 
He always used to say that when he pays a visit to my place. Yes I pet catfishes, it's not like I have the choice, they have been living for 7 years and counting!
 
From that sentence, I learned to be grateful with any kinds of situation. Those simple thankfullness he expressed, really impressed my soul forever and I've been enjoying the life most people are suffering from.
 
Today made me love him even better.
 
He remembers me!
 
He's 90 and he still remembers me. He barely recognized others, then he said, "With that smile and that grin, how could I forget? Sure, you've gotten taller, but once I saw that smile, I immediately remember."
 
He doesn't even know how his words made my day. 

EDIT: 
remember my previous entry when I said I bought new clothes and I doubt that it would fit me? It did, and people keep on saying how I've lost weight. So yay.

And yay Brendon as a wedding singer, I can't imagine. His sister's wedding is on 20/09/2009 how cute is that?

So Eid is coming tomorrow. Bought new clothes that I doubt it would fit. I want to lose some weight, so I guess this'll motivate me.

I met my friends yesterday, they keep on telling me to buy Zara clothes. And what is SO great about Zara clothes, ha? Is it cause it's branded? It's not even the best clothing line in the world. I have more Burberry and Longchamp stuff more than any teenager that I know, just for your information. Even I don't show it off, just cause I think it's not that big a deal.

That's why I'm sending an article/short story to this magazine that talks about teenagers' problem. Hope it'll get accepted, I hate people trying so hard to fit in the fashion trend. It's not that big a deal. People become body/style conscious cause of others.

BTW~

I sent this on twitpic.



And all I got is this, not a big deal. :P



Oh, and just for laughs, cause I was bored out of my bloody mind while playing Wedding Dash (MOST AMAZING GAME EVER!)





Ever read Carol Bolt's The Book of Answers? I thought that book is pretty... funny with all the answers. My friend asked, "Is Nadya going to marry Brendon?"

and the answer was: "Ask her father."
