i have an announcement to make

i hate for saying this, but ..

I THINK I'M GONNA REHAT FROM THIS BLOG FOR A LITTLE WHILE

You see, I seldom to post lately. I just don't have time to, even for turning on my laptop. Being on eleventh grade, especially at this crazy sick school, just can't stand it, too much tasks, assignments, exams, you name it. Hectic schedule. Can't bear it. If I do have spare time, I won't spend it on blogging eventually, I'll sleep. Seriously, I'm not saying shit, but this is actually happening. 1 hour does make difference this time. So sorry to tell you about this, but I promise, after this, around March, I'll get plenty of holidays, I promise to you all, I'll blog again. Just wait and see!

ps : my love on math began to rise (not for physics and other science's subject for Heaven's sake!), and well, my progress on diet is working, hope I can achieve my target really soon


follow my twitter @leenlena to catch up! (I tweet everything everyday, just catch me up there since I can't blog!)

bitter, sweet and fats

OMG! This has been too long to be true that I haven't been writing on this blog! It seems like so year ago (actually it is, because we just faced a new year, yay!). Sorry for the super late post, I was super busy with the whole school things (as always). Well, I suggest you to follow me @leenlena so that you can keep up with me, mention me or whatsoever, and plus, I tweet everything there and the advantages, if I don't write any post, you still can read my stories there (also gossips, movies, whatever, I tweet -like- everything!). FYI, I don't write my opinion about movies on this blog anymore, I tweet it, so follow me for some movie recommendations! And oh, notice anything different with Junebug?! Yes, I kinda fixed it, simplier, more androgyny, do you like it? Ok, no more talking. Let's begin the journey! :)

_____________________


First semester of eleventh grade was tough for me. I was wrong to choose science over social just to make my parents happy. I found myself tortured over what's all in demand and worse yet, my point of entering science was all blurted out, I was just making my parents sad and embarassed over my not-so-called achievement. I hate science. I always do and that'll never change. And because of that reason, I simply don't like science, from mathematics, chemistry, physics, and biology. And I can't do them just right. Seems like all my hard works, sacrifices and times didn't come as a good result. It all went bed, worse than ever. I tried my best to like those horrible subjects, study harder than ever, but still, I failed. Seems like no hope for me at all. And those nightmares finally paid off as I received my report card just then. I got one red mark on physics. I knew it already, because how hard I studied, either the subject itself or the teacher failed me. To be honest, when I practice physics at home, I kinda nailed it, but when it came to the exam, I couldn't. WTH happen?! My math was 'save' because of the assignments. And for chemistry, I was doing it well, but I failed my final exam (I was blank when I'm doing it, ugh pissed), so it affected the final score. For biology, only God knew what happen. There was a little drama about biology. I failed all of the exams (well, not all actually, because the first ever exam, I passed), I took the remedial (not just me, the whole Sinlui's ward) and none of us passed the remedial. I didn't know that none of us passed the remedial, because the scores didn't appear in SIS (remembering that the teacher kinda lazy to update the score, I thought that scores still my real scores) until .. my friend told me that there was an assignment to do to cover the scores and I was late ONE DAY to submit (because I didn't know, the announcement only appeared in SIS and I didn't come to school because I haven't got any remedial schedule yet) and the teacher refused to accept my work (that I made at three in the morning, having just two hours sleep and drove straight to Sinlui after). I counted my final score and it didn't pass 70 and surprisingly after, my biology scored 70 on my report card, God knows what happen! Thanks sir for your generosity!

my final exam's scores before remedial (yes, failed on physics and chemistry)

so many failed exams, ugh

I got an A on my extracurricular which I attended only TWICE within a semester! Amazing right?! (sst, don't tell anyone that I actually faked my absent :p)

I promise, I'll do better, I'll concentrate better, I'll study harder, I'll have the confidence and the willing, I'll love science more and more each day. And no more procastinating and laziness. I won't be so naive for saying "No more remedial", but all I want is no red mark on my report card, this is the first and the last, EVER!

I'm so glad that -finally- CENTRO and METRO opened here at Surabaya (Centro at GM and Metro at CW). I had enough with Sogo that lately hasn't been so updated about trends. FYI, DEBENHAMS will soon open their very first tenant here at Surabaya, at Supermall Extentions to be exact (plant to be opened in 2013), what a nice thing to hear!

been reading this :


Manusia Setengah Salmon
author : Raditya Dika

Raditya Dika is back with his fifth book! This book is as entertaining as the other books, but I found myself sank into Radit's more mature style of writing. His timing of mixing comedy and life changing event is way better than ever! He just simply mixes our emotion, from laughing into serious face. I couldn't stop reading this book, seriously. And I love the cover, it's just simple and represent the title well. And the bookmark, God, so hillarious! Good job Radit, I expect more of you on the next book ya!



Chicken Soup For The Teenage Soul
author : Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen and Kimberly Kirberger

I always love chicken soup series. I normally read the unpart one (mean : like for the teenage soul, parents soul whatsoever). Stories told perfectly, and very inspiring! My mind seriously couldn't stop wandering around when I read this book. Talking about my favorite stories, I would say all of them are my favorites. Each story brings different lesson of life. It's like stabbing my foolishness with knife and shout "Wake up, you ungrateful bitch!" Must read!



Sugar & Spice : An L.A. Candy Novel
author : Lauren Conrad

Finally, I bougt this book. I love L.A. Candy novel! From the very first, L.A. Candy and the second, Sweet Little Lies, very addicting! And the final series is just brilliant! I read it within a day, because I just couldn't stop thinking about what could be going on with Jane, Scarlett and so on. LC seriously good at this! I could imagine myself in Jane's position, in those glamorous world but yet not-that-great life. I love the ending LC brought up, so unfortunate, but yet make sense. You must read the series, seriously! And who doesn't fall for the simple sophisticated cover?!



Reader's Digest Asia
Singapore Edition

I've been reading this tiny magazine since two months ago. Actually, my dad told me to read this magazine years ago, to simply increase my English.And yet, I was at Periplus, wondering what to buy and decided to grab rdasia (at first, I looked for the UK one, but only the SG one available, so whatever, as long as it's in English, because I don't have any interest reading the Indonesian one). After reading it, I became an addict. The stories told there were just amazing. The layouting, the pictures are simple but great. The jokes, the word powers, everything just work! Looking for a subscription, but I don't think it'll be easy, so I think I'll just keep buying it at Periplus. And oh, don't forget to buy the Classic Edition, soo many inspiring and great stories told there!

I was at Ciputra World, walking around and finally entered this store named "Teddy House". It was !%#^*$(*#&%& adorable!!! The idea of the business, the interior, the teddies, just omg! How creative! I asked my mom to adopt me one plus the clothes but all she said was just "No. It's just love at the first sight, you know how. Soon after you got this, you'll get bored with this." So true mom. But still, soo adorable!!

Also from CW, I found this scrapbook store (originally from Singapore) named "Made With Love". It was so artsy. I want all of scrapbook's materials they sell. It was heaven for scrapbooker (but I'm not scrapbooker, I want to be one, but I don't think I can handle the detail :p). But seriously, the price tag girl .. tsktsktsk. I wanted to buy a wooden paper agenda, but it was 120k for heaven's sake *get out from the store*

Gigs gigs gigs. And why always Jakarta huh ?! Surabaya wants too!


As for Simple Plan, they'll also held a concert at Surabaya, at Grand City to be precised, on 18th January at 8 pm. 350k for the Festive ticket. I want to watch so bad, but have no money, duhh. Too bad they don't come after I get angpo :(

Celebrating the sixtieth anniversary of SMAK St. Louis 1 Surabaya, my school will held a concert at SSCC (see the poster for details) and who's the guest ?! CHRISTIAN BAUTISTA! Wow, my school is awesome! But for the ticket, quite expensive, 200k/person. And unfortunately, for Sinluiers themselves, no free ticket. Duh. Should I come or not??! I would rather add 150k more to watch Simple Plan tho, uh idk.

_____________________



I bought a pair of new Converse. I was unwilling to spend 300k++ to buy this, because mine, the same one, is still wearable. But unfortunately, a hole on the old one and faded color. So sad, because it began more comfy than ever! Ah whatever.

#RandomThingsInMyBedroom


I just randomly bought a sign from Ace Hardware, written "Dangerous Area" and sticked it on my bedroom's door. Ridiculous huh ?


This is my personal stationaries supply. When my mom looked at this, she was like "WTH! You got so much, no, even TOO MUCH! And why do you still buy a lot more?!" LOL!

I finally found a shoe designer (Adri Wong) that actually CAN make a big size shoes (I'm size 11). I ordered a pair of heels (can't tell you the design, soon when it finished, I'll take a picture of it). But sadly, I can't order any boots, clogs, whatsoever. Only the open toe-back one. I was like "I want platform, 9 cm!" and my mom was like, "No, make it heels. And damn Dea, you're tall already, do you want to step on people or something?! Gosh, make it 5!" Ok ok whatsoever. And if the shoes are comfortable, I am willing to order more, flats (gladiators to be precised). Huahahha.

#BodyCare

1. DIET. Please do your fucking diet lena, you're just too fat to be true! Don't you want the mocking to be end and get yourself your old body back and get those glorious time you had?! Lose some pounds please! Lose your damn appetite, God knows how! I target myself to lose at least 15kg within a month, seriously. I must eat very less and exercise more. Damn damn damn.

2. Get away zits, scars and comedoes. God knows how! Go to dermatologist!

3. Get a haircut! Your hair is damaged, very very damaged. Fall, dry, all of the above! Start using hair mask or something to prevent the damages whatsoever

4. Ask my mom how to apply shades, eyeliner and mascara. Start to put some powders and sun screen to prevent the heat if you don't wanna get tan. Why do I be such a makeup bitch lately?!

I know it sounds cheesy to have #LunarMoneyResolution, but who cares?!

1. Styling iron : my flat iron has broken already and I got no curling iron, must buy asap!
2. Softlens : sick of being frog eyes
3. Make up kit : need it
4. Book shelf : I fall in love with one design at Index but it costs 1 million something .___.
5. Blackberry Gemini : I don't need it the most, but I just want the BBM, that's all
6. Speakers
7. New webcam
8. Cotton candy-popcorn-chocolate fountain maker : crave crave! but too expensive yet not-that-important
9. Polaroid camera : duh this is one failed wish
10. LED TV
11. One of these books

I want them all, but if I buy them all, it'll cost nearly a million, so I had to choose, and so far, I prefer The Teen Vogue Handbook and Style Yourself the most.

actually, they're all just craves, not to be fulfilled all, but at least some of them and yet, I can't choose, duh

..........................................................................

and also #Sweet17Wish

1. Nissan Juke/All New Toyota Avanza
2. New monochromatic bedset
3. SLR and its lenses
4. iPad

I kinda curious with this new and the first indoor (also the largest in the world -they said) amusement park in Bandung, Trans Studio. This amusement park looks like Universal Studios, but it's indoor. The themepark also looks similar. And I often watch the atmosphere on Trans TV's programs and I found it interesting and worth to try. Well, I want to go there someday to find out. Who's with me?
