still waiting for the nothing

i'm tired for waitin', i hate it!

Now I’m feelin so fly like a G6

Hello Strangers! :)

Udah lama banget ya gue gak nge-post, haha. Alasan pertama tuh karena gue sibuk. Biarpun stay connected sama internet. Gue sama sekali gak inget sama blog karena tugas gue di dunia maya adalah nyari bahan buat tugas sekolah..

Oh iya gue lupa yah ngasih kabar ke kalian semua kalo gue ikut beasiswa buat kuliah di belanda. Alhamdulillah, gue dapet beasiswa nya dan tinggal nunggu gue lulus SMU aja. Hehe

Kenapa gue lebih milih arts daripada jurusan-jurusan lain seperti architechture, economy, dll? karena gue suka fotografi dan semua hal yang berhubungan sama ARTS! tadinya sih pengin kuliah di indo aja ambil jurusan fashion business. Tapi gue udah siap banget ninggalin indo buat nuntut ilmu di kampung halaman :)

Gue bakalan balik kok ke Indo kalo semua urusan pendidikan gue udah selesai. Gue pengin jadi orang yang berguna buat Indonesia. Biarpun gue bukan orang Indonesia asli, bagaimanapun juga Indonesia juga kampung gue.

Gue sekolah disini, belajar disini, hidup disini, apa-apa disini deh setelah pindah dari Eindhoven. Dan gak adil juga tiba-tiba gue pergi gitu aja ninggalin Indonesia tanpa 'kasih apa-apa' buat Indonesia. Itu sama aja pengkhianat. Gue pengen orang-orang tuh punya pikiran kalo Indonesia juga gak kalah sama negara-negara lain, Indonesia juga bisa berprestasi di bidang apa aja.

Gue pengen buktiin itu semua cause gue anak Indonesia juga. Pelajar-pelajar Indonesia juga pintar-pintar kok menurut gue. Pokoknya harapan gue buat Indonesia cuma satu. Gue pengen jadiin negara ini lebih baik, gue pengen semua hal yang kerjanya cuma bikin nama Indonesia rusak dibuang ke laut aja. Hehehe..

Segitu aja deh post gue hari ini, AKU CINTA KALIAN DAN INDONESIA!

From a child star to teen idol to adult actresses Natalie Wood will from forever be etched in my mind as James Dean's girl , Judy in Rebel Without a Cause , and of course as Maria in West Side Story .

The judge ruled justifiable Homicide after hearing evidence of the violence and threats made by Stompanato . Despite the unstable environment of the Turner household , Cheryl was reunited with her mother .

Turner's scandalous personal life played Havoc with her professional advancement in the studio-driven image-conscious world of Hollywood . Her glamorous girl reputation overshadowed her talent as an actress . Although aware of her directors Were ABILITY , the "women's roles" Turner was so often type-cast in , prevented her from achieving the greatness many thought her capable of .

Turner's most Notable screen successes Were as the "Ziegfeld Girl" (1941) , gorgeous in feathers and a fan , as the steamy double-dealing Housewife in "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946) , and later in the noir classic , " Madame X "(1966) .

Favorite Actresses of the 1950′s ~ #9 ~ Thelma Ritter

Thelma Ritter's first role in the classic 1947 film , Miracle on 34th Street was not even Credited , although her work as a frustrated mother Unable to find the toy That Kris kringle promised her son . She was 45 at the time and although she had made a mark in theater she was on the verge of becoming a star .

Joseph L. Mankiewicz put her in his next film , A Letter to Three Wives . Again her part was not even Credited , but Mankiewicz liked what Ritter Could do and he cast her as the outspoken , brash maid to Bette Davis' Margo Channing in All About Eve. She became a household name and also received her first of six Academy Award nominations for Supporting actress . Ritter never won an award , but she would become known as one of the greatest and best known supporting , charecter actresses ever put on film . She even co-hosted the awards show with Bob Hope in 1954 .

I Became a fan of Thelma's the first time I ever saw All About Eve , and continued to seek her films . Each film she palyed with the same commitment and vigor of the first . Her honesty and truth came through with each role . In occasional non-comedic turns, she projected an unglamorous world-weariness , notably in Pickup on South Street (1953) .
Some of her best-known roles included Bette Davis's devoted maid in All About Eve (1950) as Gene Tierney's maid - mother in law in The Mating Season (1951) , James Stewart's nurse in Rear Window (1954) , and as Doris Day's housekeeper in Pillow Talk (1959) . Her turn in John Huston's The Misfits (1961) , where she played opposite Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable , also garnered favorable reviews .

Shortly after a 1968 performance on The Jerry Lewis Show , Ritter suffered a heart attack which eventually proved fatal . She was nine days shy of her 67th birthday . She was 9 days shy of her 67th birthday .

Favorite Actresses of the 50′s ~ Marilyn Monroe ~ #10

She was beautiful , voluptuous , sexy , and one of the hottest actresses in the 1950's . With her appearing in 23 films in the 1950′s , Marilyn soon became one of the , if not the most celebrated actresses of all time . It wasn't due to her outstanding acting ability , which in all honesty wasn't that bad at all , but due to her personality and sex symbol image .

She made apperances in All About Eve in 1950 , As Young as You Feel in 1951 , Don't Bother to Knock and Monkey Business in 1952 ; Gentlemen Prefer Blondes , and How to Marry a Millionaire in 1953 ; Then came the big roles that catapulted her even further upward as well as into a downward spiral , The Seven Year Itch , Some Like it Hot and Bus Stop .

Unfortunately she became an even bigger star and legend due to her untimely death after filming what some say was her greatest role of her career , matched with the greatest leading man of all time , Clark Gable in The Misfits .

Kejadiannya tadi siang , gue lagi nyapu teras . Hitler ada di kamar , jadi gue pikir dia gak bisa keluar *lagi di hukum soalnya . Pas gue masuk ke kamar , kok Hitler gak ada ? gue panggil panggil juga gak nyahut . Pas gue cek ke dapur ternyata Hitler BERHASIL MEMBUKA KULKAS DAN MENGAMBIL LOLLIPOP KESAYANGAN GUE !! akhirnya dia gue seret ke kandang , gue omelin deh tuh biar kapok . Gue masih meratapi lollipop 'keramat' itu . Tiba-tiba nenek gue bilang "Shya , nenek ke luar dulu ya sama Hitler" trus gue bilang "Mau ngapain mum ?" kata nenek "Nanti kamu liat aja sendiri" . Yaudah gue biarin aja Hitler keluar , lagi slek soalnya . Siapa suruh makan lollipop gue ?
Sekitar 2 jam kemudian nenek balik , gue tanya "Lama banget mum ? abis darimana sih ?"
nenek bilang "Shya , tau gak Hitler suruh nenek buat ke Candy Shop beli lollipop yang sama persis sama yang dimakan Hitler . Artinya dia ngerti bahwa dia salah , sekarang dia udah ganti lollipop kamu tuh . Mau maafin Hitler apa gak ? kalo gak yaa Hitler mum bawa pulang ke eindhoven"
gue bilang "Serius mum ? aku gak percaya lho ! *tapi pas dikasih bukti baru percaya* . Yah aku maafin , tapi jangan dibawa pulang dong mum . Hitler kan anjingku mum"
"Kamu bilang terimakasih dong sama Hitler"
akhirnya gue minta maaf ke Hitler "Hilter yang ganteng , yang imut , yang keren .. maafin aku ya . Makasih udah mau ganti lollipopnya muah :) "
kata Hitler "Guk guk guk" *artinya : "sama-sama neng cantik (?)"*
hahaha ternyata gak cuma manusia yang bisa ngakuin kesalahan . Hewan juga bisa ! ILYSM My Hiter :* muah

Not that PRETTY yet so BEAUTIFUL

Pernah ketemu cewek yang keliatannya biasa-biasa aja tapi begitu menarik , ditaksir banyak cowok serta disayang guru dan tetangga ? pasti dia punya salah satu dari "x-factor" dibawah ini . The good news is , you might do too .. cuma aja belum menyadarinya !

• A happy face

Wajahnya selalu ceria , mulutnya seperti tersenyum terus dan matanya berbinar-binar . Begitulah ciri-ciri cewek yang punya happy face . Siapa aja yang ngeliat dia , otomatis ngerasa seneng juga . Beda sama orang yang selalu kelihatan jutek atau gak mood , happy face 'mengundang' orang untuk ngobrol sama dia . Makanya dia jadi punya banyak temen . Mulai sekarang coba deh buat gak gampang bete . Kalo ada masalah sedikit , jangan langsung mengeluh apalagi sampai bikin repot temen-temen . Be more positive in everything . Oh ya , senyum duluan ke orang lain nggak menjadikan kamu kecentilan kok !

• Not being ignorant

Sikap ignorant alias nggak perdulian , secara nggak langsung menunjukan tingkat intelejensia seseorang . Misalnya aja nih , di jaman orang-orang udah mulai ambil bagian dalam green action dengan irit listrik , cewek yang ignorant malah cuek aja menerima dan membuang-buang kantong plastik seenaknya . Sebaliknya , cewek yang nggak ignorant , pasti punya nilai plus yang terpancar lewat tingkah lakunya . Dia perduli sama alam , sama isu sosial bahkan nasional . Ini bikin dia kelihatan makin smart dan well-educate .
That's why , kita nggak boleh ignorant sama apa yang terjadi di sekitar . Kalau perlu , inisiatif bikin keadaan jadi lebih baik . Dijamin kecerdasan kamu akan lebih terpancar .

• Religious girl

Seasyik-asyiknya kehidupan di dunia , nggak lengkap kalo gak diseimbangin sama ibadah , betul ?! ngaku deh , pasti suka kagum kan sama cowok yang kelihatannya bandel tapi ternyata baik hati dan rajin ibadah ? Nah , cewek yang religius juga sama mengagumkannya . Artinya dia nggak terlena sama hal-hal duniawi semata dan masih ingat sama kuasa yang lebih besar . Bonusnya lagi , rajin ibadah bisa menghindari kita dari perbuatan-perbuatan yang "nggak banget" .

• Chick with hospitality

Seneng kan kalo dateng ke sebuah restoran yang pelayannya sangat ramah ? kita jadi ngerasa diistimewakan . Begitu juga rasanya kalo deket-deket sama cewek yang ramah . Dia selalu menyapa duluan , ngedeketin orang yang lagi sendiri , ngajak gabung temen baru dan sering nawarin bantuan . Emang sih , keramahan yang diatas rata-rata ini bisa disalah-artikan sama cowok-cowok sebagai perhatian yang bermuatan ehm ... cinta . Padahal sih nggak . Tapi daripada dibilang penggoda pacar temen sendiri , inget-inget bahwa keramahan ini ada batasnya juga !

• Well-groomed

Semuanya pasti setuju kalo perempuan adalah makhluk yang indah . Yes , girls we are so loveable for just being a girl . Tapi dimana-mana , sesuatu yang indah itu perlu dirawat dan dijaga kebersihannya . Kalau nggak , lama-lama jadi lusuh juga .
Nggak heran dong kalo cewek yang selalu menjaga penampilannya jadi terlihat lebih menarik . Rambut selalu bebas minyak , wajah mulus , dan kuku bersih . Nggak perlu ekstrem kok , yang penting selalu bersih dan terawat . Nggak lucu kan kalo pagi-pagi ngobrol sama gebetan di sekolah ada kotoran gigi yang nyelip gara-gara sikat giginya gak bersih .

• Silly & funny

As we all know , a good sense of humor adalah "magnet" besar yang bisa dipunyai seseorang . Tapi kalau kamu nggak lucu , you can just be silly . Tapi secara positif lho ya . Caranya dengan nggak terlalu serius menanggapi keusilan dan celaan temen atau nggak malu alias cuek aja waktu disuruh maju ke depan memperagakan gerakan streching yang agak aneh pas pelajaran olahraga . Intinya nggak perlu terlalu jaim (jaga image) karena orang jadi gak bisa melihat diri kita yang sebenarnya .

The History Of Gummi Candy

whoaaaaa , tiba-tiba arsshia suka sama GUMMY BEAR CANDY !! My Lolli Polli , jangan sedih ya :) hehehehe

Hans Riegel invented gummi bears (the first gummi candy) and gummi candy during the 1920s. Riegel was the owner of the German candy company Haribo. Haribo went on to manufacture the first American made gummi candy in 1982.

In 1981, another German gummi candy manufacturer called Trolli decided to made the first gummi worm. Gummi worms have become the most popular gummi candy ever made. The average Brite Crawler the number one sold gummi worm is two inches long.

Edible gelatin is the basic ingredient in gummi candy. Gelatin is also found in soft caramels, marshmallows, foam-filled wafers, licorice, wine gums, pastilles, chocolate coated mallows and a host of other sweets, because it gives candy elasticity, the desired chewy consistency, and a longer shelf life. Gelatin has been used since the time of the Egyptian Pharaohs.

How Gummi Candy Is Mass Produced

According to Black Forest the makers of assorted gummies, "gummi candies are a blend of corn starch, corn syrup, sugar, gelatin, color, and flavor." The ingredients are weighed, mixed, and pumped into a special candy cooker that Black Forest uses, a 128 foot long stainless steel coil that cooks the candy by steam outside of the coil. Then the cooker pumps the gummi into a vacuum chamber to remove excess moisture. From the vacuum chamber the gummi moves on to a mix station where colors, flavors, acids, and fruit concentrates are mixed into the gummi stock. Next, the Mogul, a starch moulding machine pumps the gummi stock into starch filled mould boards that shape the gummi candies. After curing, the gummies are removed from the moulds, packaged, delivered, and sold.

Four thumbs up deh buat Paramore cause udah bikin lagu-lagu yang keren ! hihihihi

===================================================================

Think of me when you’re out, when you’re out there
I’ll beg you nice from my knees
When the world treats you way too fairly
It’s a shame I’m a dream

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I think I’ll pace my apartment a few times
And fall asleep on the couch
And wake up early to black and white re-runs
That escaped from my mouth

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

I could follow you to the beginning
Just to relive the start
And maybe then we’ll remember to slow down
At all of our favorite parts

All I wanted was you

All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you

The History Of Lollipop Candy

According to the Miriam Webster Dictionary, the definition of the word "lollipop" is as follows:

Main Entry: lol•li•pop
Variant(s): or lol-ly-pop
Function: noun
Etymology: perhaps from English dialect lolly (tongue) + pop
Date: 1784
1: a lump of hard candy on the end of a stick 2: British: a round stop sign on a pole used to stop traffic (as at a school crossing).

Although the definition of one of the best selling candy items is relatively simple, the actual history is a little more complicated.

The first candy on a stick, according to the National Confectionary Association, was probably created by cavemen who maintained beehives and collected honey by stick. Not wanting to waste the sweet residue, they, most likely, licked the utensil and thus the first unintentional lollipop, or, candy on a stick, was born.

It has been reported and verified through archeological discoveries that ancient Arabs, Chinese and Egyptians produced fruit and nut confections which were "candied" in honey which served as a preservative. Due to the nature of the sticky substance, recent discoveries have hinted that sticks were inserted into these treats to make them easier to eat.

In the middle ages in Europe, sugar was an imported luxury item thus making candy extremely expensive. As such, it was enjoyed by nobility and the very wealthy. In order to make this delicacy last longer, sugar was boiled and formed into hard blocks. Although this might be considered the advent of bulk candy, it is reported that candy treats were made complete with sticks and ornate handles.

In the 17th Century, as sugar became plentiful, it was considered a delicacy in England to enjoy boiled sugar candy treats. In order to make them easier to eat, a stick was inserted. By looking at the definition, linguists have surmised that the term "lollipop" may have been derived from street vendors in London during the age of Charles Dickens.

With the discovery of sugar beet juice and the onset of the industrial revolution, the confectionary manufacturing industry blossomed like never before. Hard candy such as horehound drops, lemon drops and peppermint and wintergreen lozenges became commonplace and new candies were created daily.

As with so many other technical innovations, the 20th century ushered in the era of automation and this is where the true history of the birth of the lollipop begins.

There remain discrepancies as to who was the true creator of lollipops. As early as 1905, the McAviney Candy Company, now defunct, may have stumbled upon the lollipop by default. The owner created boiled hard candies which were stirred by stick. At day's end, as a treat for his children, he would bring home sticks covered with the hard candy residue. It wasn't until 1908 that he began to market these "used candy sticks". Although hard evidence does not exist as to when the first candy stick was sold, if true, this would make the McAviney Candy Company the first to offer mass produced lollipops.

In 1908 in Racine, Wisconsin, the first automated lollipop production was invented by the Racine Confectionary Machine Company, not out of ingenuity but rather in the call of service. This innovative, and now defunct, company invented a machine whose sole purpose was to find a way to put hard candy on the end of a stick. The output of this machine was 2400 lollipops per hour and the company believed that they could produce enough lollipops in a week to supply the nation's demand for one year.

The Racine Confectionary Company held the title of the creator of the mass produced lollipop until approximately 1912 when Samuel Born, a Russian immigrant and entrepreneur, invented a machine whose sole purpose was to automatically insert sticks into candy. The City of San Francisco considered this candy innovation so amazing that they awarded him the keys to the city in 1916!

Ever restless and a true lover of confectionaries, Samuel Born is also credited with inventing Sprinkles (or, as they are affectionately called on the East Coast, Jimmies) which are the candy toppings often found on desserts and ice cream. This idea stemmed from his desire to use every portion of the byproducts of creating lollipops.

Unfortunately, no one knows exactly when the lollipop was created, but we do know that it is one of the most popular candies in existence.

While the Racine Confectionary Company was able to produce 57,000 lollipops in one day, which they felt would satisfy the market for an entire year, modern candy companies, such as Spangler Candy Company (creator of Dum Dum Lollipops, Saf-T-Pop and countless other lollipop favorites) can produce up to 3,000,000 per day which hardly satisfies the nation's cravings!

Lollipops come in all shapes and sizes and we offer over 35 varieties from which to choose. Whether you want a Charms Lollipop, Tootsie Pop or a lollipop with a cricket, our candy selection is second to none.

Arti Hidup Itu ....

Hidup ini bukan tentang mengumpulkan nilai . Bukan tentang berapa banyak orang yang menelponmu dan juga bukan tentang siapa pacarmu , bekas pacarmu , atau orang yang belum kamu pacari . Bukan tentang siapa yang telah kau cium , olahraga apa yang kau mainkan , atau pemuda atau gadis mana yang menyukaimu . Bukan tentang sepatumu atau warna kulitmu atau tempat tinggalmu atau sekolahmu . Bahkan juga bukan tentang nilai - nilai ujianmu , uang , baju , atau perguruan tinggi yang menerimamu atau yang tidak menerimamu . Hidup ini bukan tentang apakah kau memiliki banyak teman , atau apakah kau seorang sendiri , dan bukan tentang apakah kau diterima atau tidak diterima oleh lingkunganmu . Hidup bukanlah tentang itu . Namun , hidup ini adalah tentang siapa yang kau cintai dan kau sakiti . Tentang bagaimana perasaanmu tentang dirimu


sendiri . Tentang kepercayaan , kebahagiaan , dan welas asih . Hidup adalah tentang menghindari rasa cemburu , mengatasi rasa tak peduli dan membina kepercayaan . Tentang apa yang kau maksudkan . Tentang menghargai orang apa adanya dan bukan karena apa yang dimilikinya . Dan yang terpenting , hidup ini adalah tentang memilih menggunakan hidupmu untuk menyentuh orang lain dengan cara yang tak bisa digantikan dengan cara lain . Hidup adalah tentang itu :)



NB : Kata - kata ini diambil dari buku psikologi favorit gue , Chicken Soup For The Soul . Di buku ini banyak kisah - kisah yang menginspirasi kita untuk respect sama diri sendiri dan belajar menghargai hidup . Dan juga mensyukuri apa yang udah kita miliki yang enggak dimiliki orang lain :)

Mendadak Drama

Haloo readers :) how are u ?? saya kembali menulis blog lagi , ihik ihik ihik *ketawa sambil cegukan* blog pertama nih , jadi harus rajin rajin update :)

Pas ngeliat judulnya mungkin readers berpikir "alah cerita cinta lagi -__- bosan akuu".. EITS !! bukan CERITA CINTA ! cuma pengen ngasihtau komik yang membuat hati saya tersentuh *lebaaayyy*.

Judulnya A Girl's Melancholy by Taamo ,(Dari judulnya keliatan drama gak sih ??)

Nah komik ini dibagi five chapter ..
Chapter one berjudul A Girl's Of Melancholy . Di sekolah kita pasti banyak yang membentuk gang begitu juga di SMA - nya Eiko Tsujikawa . Tapi dia sedih karena nggak bisa masuk salah satu gang . Eiko benar - benar sendiri . Apalagi sahabatnya meninggalkan dia begitu aja . Kedatangan Izumi Kitahara di sekolah Eiko membawa sebuah angin segar :)

Chapter two berjudul Firefly Rain..Tentang seorang cewek bernama Chisato sedang berjalan - jalan dengan anjingnya Chiroll (mirip Hitler hehe). Dia kesasar di suatu tempat yang baguuus banget , banyak kunang - kunangnya *my favourite chapter !* . Trus dia ngeliat cowok di tempat itu (liat gambar yang diatas) . Cowok itu bernama Kazuki . Chisato pengiin banget ketemu cowok itu lagi . Malemnya dia ke tempat itu lagi tapi , Kazuki dateng telat ke tempat itu gara-gara temennya (namanya Yamada) nelfon dia .
Nah besoknya Chisato dateng lagi tapi tanpa Chiroll (karena si Chiroll sakit) . Si Kazuki ternyata juga dateng . Terus mereka ngobrol - ngobrol , tapi sialnya Chisato lupa nanya nama si Kazuki . Esoknya Chisato cerita sama temennya yang TERNYATA adiknya Kazuki (tapi Chisato gak tau) dan berharap supaya dia bisa ketemu lagi sama Kazuki . Dan kayaknya Chisato ketemu lagi deh sama Kazuki .
Soalnya mereka satu sekolah dan di adegan terakhir mereka hampir bertemu gitu (chapternya setengah - setengah sih !) .

Koichi Higashi ditunjuk sebagai Peter Pan dan yang menjadi Wendy adalah Mari teman Mio . Higashi ingin Mio menjadi Wendy tapi Mio lebih suka menjadi Tinkerbell . Mio sudah lama memyukai Higashi tapi mereka tidak mungkin jadian karena mereka sudah mempunyai pacar .
