Birthday Pictures

Yesterday, I was celebrating my birthday with Mas, Liling and Joash in Secret Recipe. We ordered three different kinds of cakes: Mango Delight, Chocolate Indulgence, and Classic Cheese. Meanwhile, Jojo alias Joash ordered "lamb" thingy, but the waiter forgot to bring the food to him. Lol, poor boy...Subsequently, he only drank a glass of milk (while the others were making fun of "weight gain" which is supposedly pronounced 'wayt gayn' not 'wait gayn', wakakakakak gege gege...). Also, Mas got a tiny problem with her "oreo" thingy (sort of beverage); bits of oreo stuck to her teeth (lol). Thereafter, we took pictures while we were busy posing. Just have a look at these pictures. Some poses look cute and silly (hahahaha)...

"High School Musical 4" Is Forthcoming


Movie Info
Troy, Gabriella, Sharpay and the rest of the "High School Musical" gang will be back on the screen. This time, they are in the last year of high school; but however it is not going to be the farewell to the East High Wildcats, said The Hollywood Reporter.

Disney Channel Worldwide President Rich Ross said they were writing "High School Musical 4".

Stars Vanessa Hudgens, Zac Efron, Ashley Tisdale, Lucas Grabeel, Corbin Bleu and Monique Coleman have also been preparing for "High School Musical 3: Senior Year". Nonetheless, in January, Efron confirmed to MTV News that he would not continue starring in "HSM3" as he thought it might be a good way to start with a bang.

Yet still, some new cast members might probably be introduced in "HSM3", including Matt Prokop, Justin Martin and Jemma McKenzie-Brown. So, just let's hope "HSM3" would be a hit like its sequels, hence the arrival of "High School Musical 4".

C'est de cette manière que nous luttons contre le sida --- This is how we fight against AIDS



Fight Aids - Gold From Our Lives lyrics
Artist: Fight Aids lyrics
Album: Other Song Lyrics
Title: L'or De Nos Vies (Gold From Our Lives)

C'est nous contre leurs peines (It's us against their sentences)
Et le message est clair (And the message is clear)
Les mots passent (The words pass)

Et l'indifférence règne (And indifference reign)
Si le mal me gagne (If evil wins me)
Coupable seul de n'avoir rien su faire (Guilty only not having been able to)

Si l'on comprend (If we understand)
Que leurs mains (Whether their hands)
Sont à notre portées (Have we brought)

Si l'on conçoit encore ce rêve (If one conceives that dream yet)

Toucher leurs larmes (Touching their tears)
Du bout des lèvres (From lip)
Sécher leurs âmes (Dry their souls)
Cent fois sans gêne (One hundred times without embarrassment)

Leur vie c'est de l'or (Their life is gold)
De l'or terni (From tarnished gold)
Rendons leur alors (Let them then)
L'or de nos vies (The gold of our lives)

Yeah yeah yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Nos pierres à l'édifice (Our stones at the building)
Pour ne pas flèchir (In order not flèchir)
Aujourd'hui (Today)
Le gêne et la peur m'attristent (The embarrassment and fear m'attristent)

Je veux de larges sourires (I want broad smiles)
Montrez-moi (Show me)
Prouvez-moi que ça existe (Prove me that it exists)

Si l'on comprend (If we understand)
Que leurs mains (Whether their hands)
Sont à notre portée (Are within our reach)
Si l'on conçoit encore ce rêve (If one conceives that dream yet)

Leur vie c'est de l'or (Their life is gold)
De l'or terni (From tarnished gold)
Rendons leur alors (Let them then)
L'or de nos vies (*2) The gold of our lives (* 2)

Et le message est clair (And the message is clear)
Les mots passent (The words pass)

Et l'indifférence règne (And indifference reign)
Si le mal me gagne (If evil wins me)
Coupable seul de n'avoir rien su faire (Guilty only not having been able to)

Si l'on comprend (If we understand)
Que leurs mains (Whether their hands)
Sont à notre portée (Are within our reach)

Si l'on conçoit ce rêve (If one sees this dream)
Rendons leur alors l'or de nos vies (Let them be the gold of our lives)

Am I Turning Into A Diet-Freak Now?


Ok, what's wrong now???

This is what I should be concerned about. MY DIET PROGRAM. I don't have any idea if it is healthy or not. I've started this bad long-standing practice since I went back to my country, Indonesia. And now I find it difficult to kick the habit. Gosh, how can I be such a diet-freak now? Actually, I've already joined a fitness club and I go to the gym three times a week, expecting that I would eat more afterwards. But then...it is becoming worse now. I always worry about intake of food and the number of calories contained in food I am going to eat. Gee-whiz...even sadder though, that was I lost my weight, just over 5 kg. And my dad dislikes me becoming skinnier now. For God's sake, please eat more Geeta. Please picture yourself having a straight-pin look like Nicole Richie. Gosh, she has been doing an extremely bad diet program.

Kick the habit (diet-freak), instead of being a fitness-freak. Also, eat more!

Prosecutor arrested red-handed for bribe---when will it stop?

All the Indonesian people do not have any idea why those people have done "monkey business" on behalf of themselves. TheJakartaPost reported that "the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK)caught a prosecutor red-handed Sunday as US$600.000 was being exchanged with a woman identified as AS" and "the exchange has been alleged as a payment for a bribe".

Our question still stays the same---> WHEN WILL THOSE PEOPLE PUT AN END TO 'THE STUFF' QUICKLY? We can't stand to buy all of their lies. We do not need words; we need actions instead. We do hope this country will embark on a drastic change for the better future. But it seems unlikely to occur if people in the government still carry on dishonest exploitation of power for personal gain.
