look

Look at my stupid smile. I'm stupidly happy. This makes me look like a crazy fan, right? HAHAHA.

give us clear infos!

I am currently very confused. My school said that the high school application starts tomorrow until 3rd of July 2010. Tomorrow until the 30th are the pre-enrollment and the actual enrollment are from 1st-3rd July.
But a lot of my friends from another school said that tomorrow until the 30th are the enrollment date for students outside of Jakarta and students from Jakarta's enrollment date is 1-3 July. Since today's Sunday I can't call the nearest public high school to ask this. So, I asked mom. She helped. A bit.
She said that I should go tomorrow just to check but bring all of the paper works just in case the enrollment starts tomorrow so I can apply on the first day.
So I guess that's what I'll do. Hope the enrollment's tomorrow so I don't have to wake up early for nothing.

flashback

7th grade. I wore my white and red uniform with silly hats and other accessories to my now former school. I wore my white glasses and a lot of people thought I was a boy because I often acted like one. For the first time a boy told me that he liked me and I turned him down nicely (too nice, actually) but he kept texting me and I was annoyed so I texted him with a lot of exclamation point and didn't feel bad. I was called 'otak besi' because people though I was smart but I really didn't understand why they called me that. Shocked when I heard that I was in the #1 spot because I really really didn't think that I was that smart. Fyi, I still don't think I'm smart because I do stupid things and say stupid words. Basically my life is a one awesome stupid journey.

8th grade. Feeling like I could rule the school (read this? stupid, huh). I didn't know that people were talking behind my back (duh, it's called talking behind my back. I wasn't suppose to know, anyway) and when I knew they were, I said okay and didn't really care. Got the chance to be the president of the student body and already got in to some trouble in the first few weeks of my time. Totally the best time.

9th grade. Who doesn't love being a senior? Got to be in the same school again with my best elementary junior. Study, try out, study, try out (this is basically what my 9th grade looks like). Grew even more closer to my generation, Surapatih. For the first time going gaga over a bad boy. But then liked a new guy that is 180 degrees different from the bad boy. Then liked the bad boy again. Then I'm just so confused that I forgot about it and focused on my studies. Pass with flying colors, Alhamdulillah.

Now I'm here. Writing this post. Missing all the things I had done this past 3 years. Can't believe I'm going to high school soon which a lot of people say is the best time of your life (people are different so we just have to wait and see). Sitting here still dreaming of getting into that performing art high school (less talk do more, Dania!). Probably will smile a lot after this.

I know this may sound weird for a big Harry Potter fan but the truth is I haven’t read all the books. I’ve only read the third book and then I stopped.

The reason I did that was, I knew that books were much greater and detailed than the films. So, if I read the books before the film, it would make me knew everything about the film. But, if I watched the movies first and then read the book, I’ll still be surprised by a lot of things that didn’t make it to the movie.

Aji Killip musical theater

Sunday, June 20, 2010 was the day of my first ever musical theater performance. Alhamdulillah it went well! Although I made a few mistakes like saying 'nyangkut' (which means stuck) when the mike's still on and ALMOST laugh in a few scenes, a lot of people think that I did a good job. Still need to work on my intonations, though. Here are a few photos of the general rehearsal and after shows. Enjoy!

Casts, dancers, crew!

a scene where I, as itaaq (means grandma), forgive her grandson, Aji Killip

Widyarini dancers dancing the Enggang Bird dance, I think.

Cute kids from Ojai!!!

This is Ayasha. She's very naughty but she's still so sweet. She always lean behind me and trying to make me fall. I'm gonna miss you, kiddo :')

And this is Lunya! She's the cutest kid in Ojai and we, Widyarini-ers adore her! I often wear my The Ting-Tings t-shirt to practice which had a drawing of Katie only wearing a bikini. Every time she saw the t-shirt, she always screamed 'KELIATAN!', which means visible, with her cute voice. She's very shy. She rarely wants to have her picture taken. But, whenever I point my camera at her to shoot candid pictures of her, she always looked right into the camera with her cute innocent face as if she accidentally saw the camera.

I'm gonna miss working with these kids! We had so much fun and I can't believe this have to end so soon. Keep on dancing, kiddos :')

The End of an Era

Warwick Davis was right. The last day of shooting Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows part 2 is the end of an era. For me, Harry Potter is the best movie of this decade. And yes, it's better than The Twilight Saga. Not that I hate Twilight, I love them! But Harry Potter's much better. I'll tell you why.

Every time I watched Harry Potter, there's something inside me that screamed 'I WANNA BE A WIZARD!'. But when I watched Twilight and New Moon, the only thing that I can think of is Taylor Lautner's hot body and Edward's (Edward, not R. Patz) charm.

Okay now back to Harry Potter. I really love what Warwick said about Harry Potter : 'The End of an Era-today is officially the last day of principal photography on 'Harry Potter'-ever. I feel honoured to be here as the director shouts cut for the very last time. Farewell Harry and Hogwarts, it's been magic.'

I don't know about you, but this statement's really really sad. We all have watched the cast grew up, we watched when secrets are revealed, we enjoy the fights between Hermione and Ron, we love Harry's curiosity about everything, my goodness. This is so so so sad.

But, everything must come to an end, right? Best of luck to all the cast. I love you guys! You are my #2 fave cast of all time (the #1's Glee, fyi). Harry Potter will always be remembered.

Farewell Harry and Hogwarts, it's been magic.

Robot and Whale

Twitter hasn't been the friendliest social networking site lately. It often gives me the stupid error robot with long hands or the stupid birds carrying an overweight whale! Not that I miss tweeting or anything, it's just my friends gossip in twitter or bbm because we had finished school. Since I'm not a Blackberry user, twitter is the only place that I can catchup with the latest gossips.

That's all I can say. Hope twitter's feeling better any time soon. I need gossip to live (oh I'm such a drama queen)!

it's hard to... even though... my fault... oh my

Widyarini (my dance course) is having another performance this June. It's pretty exciting because we work together with another dance course called OJAI. Besides from working together with OJAI, the performance will be a musical theater. Can you imagine it?! Musical theater!!! It has been my dream since I knew how to sing and dance! The other exciting part is the play is adapted from a folk story from east Borneo so it's gonna be Indonesia-licious (????).

But, the most exciting part was that I was chosen to play a role! I got the part of Itaaq which means : grandma. Errr it's not the coolest character that you can play but it's still so fun because this is my first time performing in a musical theater.

It was fun. It WAS fun until I got the news that I wouldn't dance. I started to regret what I had chosen. Yes, one of my dreams was to win an Oscar (laugh if you want), but not dancing? I couldn't imagine how I'd feel seeing my other friends dance. But I know that I couldn't quit so I did the theater and just have fun.

It was pretty fun for a few weeks even though I still feel kinda sad whenever I saw them rehearse, until today.

We had a 5 hours rehearsal. It was pretty intense because the performance date is getting closer and closer. First, the cast and dancers practiced separately. After that, we got together in a room to start practicing together. This was when the disaster happened.

The first thing they rehearsed was a dance routine called the Gantar dance. It was AMAZING! In the middle of the dance I suddenly started to cry. I felt sad. Seeing someone dance something that I could do if I hadn't accept the part of Itaaq made me sad. When they finished the dance, a lot of my friends approached me and asked me what's wrong. I told them what's wrong and my tears just burst out of control. I told them how much I wanted to dance, how much I regret taking the part, how much I hated seeing them dance because I wanted what they could do, I also told them that I wanted to kill them for dancing (yes I still can joke while crying).

They all told me that I'm very talented in what I was chosen to do and I shouldn't regret taking the part because this performance is just a small speck if compared to the millions of performances out there. And they're right. I should be proud of what I was chosen to do and dancing's not gonna leave me unless I leave them, right?

So I stood up, acted my lines and felt much better standing up there. Today had really taught me a lot of things. Don't afraid to take new opportunity, do what you love but do explore other things and the most important thing that I learned today was friends are the best thing in the whole world. Next to your family, of course.

So, don't forget to watch this musical theater!
