Aaahh, sleeping is the best medicine :D
It's currently 3.30 AM. I just woke up from almost 8 hours of sleep (yes, I slept very early last night --- went to bed at 7.30 PM ^^;). I had to cram in front of the computer yesterday, working on my 5-page midterm exam paper that was due at 4 PM yesterday (yes, a procrastinator indeed *nods*). Therefore, I only slept for 2 hours the night before ~_~

Mmm, I miss talking to people ;_; I haven't been around the computer much lately, except for browsing for hotels and researching for my paper. Why hotels? Because I'm going to New York this weekend! XD Eleven of us Indonesians at Penn State are going to spend 3 nights in Manhattan, then 2 nights in Washington, DC. Spring break is next week, so it's holiday tiiiimee =D I've done a research on the Soho area.. I'm going to spend a whole day (maybe two?) there - shopping, relaxing, enjoying the cafes and restaurants... hmmm I can't wait! XD

Neee, Alexa, I think we need to start emailing each other ;_; I miss talking to you so much ;_; One of these days I will call you *nods* Perhaps later today... before I go to New York tomorrow. Hey, have you applied to RISD yet? If you have, tell me the exact time of your summer school, kay? ^^ Oh, and I love your current blog layout, especially the colors *_* I always am a sucker for dark red / maroon / dark pink.

I had cut all contacts with my ex-boyfriend (and yes, I have gotten over him by now) when suddenly he emailed me yesterday -- after more than a month without news. And the email was really formal, too, as if we were strangers. The reason being? I trust it's because he's dating a girl in Indonesia/Singapore right now. I'm glad we're now far from each other (he's back to Indonesia for good). Not that I'm jealous or still bitter over him, but I don't want to have my life revolve around him too much anymore. Perhaps you'll say that is selfish, not wanting to be hurt or anything of that sort. But no, that's not the case. I only want to take a break from it all, and enjoy my own private time with my friends. I want to enjoy my life to its fullest and make up to the lost years of friendship while I was devoting myself 100% to him. I think I deserve that, living my days and enjoying myself and be happy, after all the sacrifices I had given. So from this moment on, we're just acquintances. But I still treasure all the memories I had with him, because they were beautiful when they happened, although they did not last. I never regret nor do I hate him for anything that happened. I'm thankful, honestly, because it has taught me the most beautiful feeling of life: love...

I sound so poetic, don't I? *lol*
I just realize.. the only day that I was by myself in my apartment (meaning, no one came or stayed over) was this past Wednesday! That means, I have people coming over everyday, even staying over. Shall I be happy or sad? >_< In any case, I have to hold on to my priorities. That is, I must be prepared to say no to them, if I need to be by myself.

Oh, I hope it will snow once again (just once, onegai) before spring really comes. I want to take picturesss with the snoww... XD It snowed on Thursday last week, and I was planning to take pictures with Kara & Martin on Friday afternoon (I and Kara were the models, Martin was the photographer =D), but we were late so the sun had already set by the time we took pictures. And it was freezing, too, so we couldn't stay outside too long. That was fun, though.. getting dressed up at this small town - where no one would dress up if not for special occassions ^_~ I hope the pictures turn out good.

After taking pictures, we dropped by Kara's house. Initially the plan was to take her stuff to my house since she wanted to stay over for the weekend. But, we ended up chatting, singing, dancing (I'm talking about ballroom dancing here ^^ Martin & Kara performed waltz & swing while I watched and drooled =P), etc until 9.30 PM *laughs* I planned to cook siomay (made of fish-paste & flour) and batagor (the fried style of siomay: made of fish-paste, flour, and beancurd) that night and I already invited people to come over. Obviously, we were late ^^;; The food was ready around 11 PM, and I was verrryyy hungry by then O_O We watched Swingers afterwards. How amusing to see that women's and men's opinions were totally different towards the main actor *lol* Women said: "Aaaw, poor him..." Men said: "Sheesh, he's so whiny!" XD That leads to one conclusion: most men have problems with faith & trust ._.

That night, once again I slept on the same bed with the same people in the same pattern: myself, Martin, Kara, Aldo (a girl, a guy, a girl, a guy XD --> same people as in Kara's house a week before). The only difference was: I switched places with Kara. I wasn't the meat between two guys sandwich this time *laughs* Good thing my bed is king size (two twin-sizes strapped together) so we had wider space. The stupid thing was: the next room (which was occupied by Arlene until last semester) is empty! But everyone slept at my room although we had to squeeze >_< We could've had one twin-size bed for each person, had two of the people slept at the next room ^^;

I'm hungry >_> Have to cook now! Until then..
