Sebuah Catatan Akhir Tahun 2010

Halo semua!! 
~~~Jumpa lagi...~~~ jumpa Maisy di sini!!! (Ketauan anak jadul...)


Kali ini gw pengen nulis dengan bahasa sehari-hari. Boleh dooonnggg... hehehehehe


Dari mana mulainya ya? Kayaknya harus dari awal... (aduh, logaringbangetseh #edisiababil)
Sesuai dengan judul, gw mau nulis tentang pandangan gw di tahun 2010. Jujur aja, tahun ini seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya, selalu penuh dengan kejutan. Syukurlah, gw termasuk orang yang beruntung, kehidupan gw nggak ngebosenin, selalu seru dan asyik-asyik aja, yah kayak gw lah... (sorakin, timpukin!!!!)


Pada awal tahun, gw ahem-ahem pertama kalinya berhasil mewarnai rambut!!! *tepok tangan* Aje gile tu rambut nggak pernah berhasil gw warnain. Gw juga nggak ngerti apa masalahnya. Jangan-jangan gw nyakitin perasaan si rambut, jadi dia cuek abis ama gw, hadeeeehhh kelamaan basa-basinya. Awalnya, gw pengen banget rambut gw merah macemnya Allison Iraheta. So, ekspektasi gw adalah warnanya kayak gambar si Allison di sebelah ini donnnggg... Well, emang dasar kalo KW nggak bisa diboongin. Alhasil rambut gw merah cuy, untuk beberapa bulan. Itu juga berkali2 ngewarnain pake Sasha hehehehe... (kesiandelo...) Dan waktu si warna luntur, kira-kira gini dah warna rambut gw... sebelas dua belas ama geng ALAY. Btw, gambar-gambar gw pergunakan untuk sebesar-besar keinginan gw. Ada unsur lebay di sini, jangan dianggap serius yeeee...















Nah, berhubung warna rambut gw memudar, gw dengan ide-ide super kreatif gw, punya niatan ngewarnain rambut lagi. Maksudnya sih supaya less alay, tapi apa boleh buat, malah jadi tambah parah. Tau Belanda??? Oranye gitu kan??? Nah itulah rambut gw... hehehehe... Emak gw dengan puas ngatain gw Belanda-Bangka. Weeeehhh dasar emak gw, satu-satunya emak yang demen banget ngatain anaknya.
Berhubung gw gerah diledekin emak gw terus-terusan, akhirnya gw dengan berbesar hati bertekad kembali ke warna asli. Tapi karena nggak mau ngewarnain item, gw pake aja blue-black. Dan you know what, hasilnya jadi brunette lohhh... Hehehehehe. Oh ya, bagi yang merasa kesal kenapa dari tadi ngomongin rambut mulu, ya itu karena memang tahun 2010 merupakan tahun perubahan bagi gw ya... soal rambut itu. 






Terus, masih di awal tahun, gw ngerasain yang namanya keriting bulu mata. Silahkan tertawa bagi siapa pun yang tau kalo gw paling bete ke salon. Jujur aja, gw ngantuk bawaannya kalo ke salon. Lu gile gw disuruh duduk ngedeprok sementara nggak ada yang bisa gw kerjain, kayak dihukum rasanya bagi gw. Eh, eh, lanjutin dong ceritanya kenapa sampe keriting bulu mata segala??? (berasa diminta fans...) Waktu itu gw diminta jadi MC championship di UKI, berhubung gw nggak jago dandan dan ribeddddd banget urusannya buat siap-siap di pagi hari, Tia, temen eS-eM-A gw yang waktu itu gw pinjem "peralatan perang"-nya, nyaranin gw buat ke salon untuk keriting bulu mata. Idenya bagus, mengingat gw rempong kalo pake maskara, gw pun melakukan hai itu. Nah, kalo gw males ke salon buat potong rambut lantaran bete duduk serasa dihukum, lo bisa bayangin gw disuruh tiduran, mata dilem, lo "terpaksa" mencium bau-bauan kimia selama lebih dari satu jam. Belom lagi si mbak (yang berusaha mengerjakan tugas terbaiknya) narik-narik bulu mata lo. Untungnya refleks gw nggak gw aktifin, kalo nggak si Mbak pasti benjol. Hasilnya gimana? Bagus lahhh... hehehehe...


Kejutan selanjutnya adalah gw kudu ngajar tarat tarat tatah....... BAHASA INDONESIA!!!!
Ya ampun cuma Bahasa Indonesia emang kenapa???? Loh, kan bahasa Indonesia gw ajaib. Makanya kalo lo perhatian ama post-post gw (douuuhhh ge-er) post berbahasa Indonesia gw jaga banget kan.... (iya aja deh, dari pada benjol) Nah, meskipun bahasa Indonesia gw sebenernya nggak separah atau seancur itu, tetep aje susah cuy. Lo kudu ati-ati, soal ejaan, tata bahasa, de-el-el deh. Apalagi bahasa Indonesia gw terpengaruh ama bahasa lain. Cieeee ama bahasa Inggris??? Sombong banget... Bukan lah, sama bahasa Bekasi... setdeh... apa bae?!




Hal penting yang terjadi tahun ini adalah betapa twitter menjadi bagian hidup gw. Lha??? Penting!!!! Bwehehehehe, itu karena waktu pertama kali gw bikin twitter di bulan Pebruari 2009 (udah lama kan?!), gw sama sekali nggak ngerti harus ngapain. ada juga gw tereak-tereak doang. Hooooiii, ada orang si sini? Baik yang pake bahasa Indonesia atau pun yang bahasa Inggris. Kadang gw tulis betapa nggak asiknya si situs berlogo burung itu. Betapa ribetnya penggunaan twitter. kudu RT dulu, atau kalo reply nggak ada hubungannya ama yang dibahas. Lah, kalo orangnya lupa gimane, mpok? Dulu, temen gw, Mbak Indri, pernah nyapa lewat tweet. Tau nggak, kapan gw balesnya, yah, sekitar seminggu. Hehehehe... Trus gw juga menghina-dina jejaring sosial ini. Gilelujek, kagak ada tanda like-nya. Kan susah kayaknya mau berekspresi. (Deeeeuuuhh apabangetsih #edisiababil) Tapi, setelah tau, ada banyak hal yang nggak bisa gw "pajang" di facebook, twitter jadi tempat sampah pribadi gw. Maaf ya, followers kalian harus membaca sampah gw. Nah, untungnya twitter, karena updatenya cepat, kadang-kadang sampah gw yang nggak penting bisa aja kelewat, ga dibaca orang. Hehehehe, at least mereka sibuk liat timeline-nya selebriti. Hihihihihi... Dan salahsatu yang gw suka dari manfaat twitter adalah, kita bisa tau berita dunia secara up-to-date. Terutama yang males baca koran. Yah, gw lah contohnya.


Soal dunia internet, gw juga baru launching (jiiiaaahhh gaya!) blog isi sampah ini di tahun ini. Awalnya gw bingung, cara bikinnya, cara publikasiinnya. Trus gw juga bingung apa gw bakal aktif nge-blog. Apa isi blog gw bikin orang terinspirasi, atau malah naik darah. Atau malah kesian ama gw, sesat dan aneh. But, i just created it. Based on the rule: It's a blog, full of me. Semuanya tentang gw, pendapatnya gw, nggak penting. Dan gw seneng aja, udah ada 48 negara yang mengunjungi blog gw. Di antaranya pasti orang-orang nyasar, atau ada juga yang memang nyari blog bener. Eh, ada loh blog berjudul Lou's Circle lainnya. Hehehe, tapi beda link. Link gw sebenernya lou-in-circle, nah mungkin karena blog gw jampi-jampinya keren, ada aja yang masuk ke sini. Hihihihi... Kadang-kadang juga beberapa orang bertanya pada Mbah Gugel tentang orang-orang yang kebetulan fotonya gw pasang di blog ini. Jadi deh, mampir... bolekakabajunyaadaukurannya #edisiitc


Kisah terakhir dari post gw kali ini adalah perpisahan. Lho??? Maksudmu apa, Armando??? #edisitelenovela

Mulai tahun 2011 nanti (ya iyalah nanti, masa sekarang??) gw dan keluarga gw harus meninggalkan rumah di mana kami tinggal selama 21 tahun. Hiks hiks... 
Lo liat rumah di sebelah kanan foto?? Itu rumah sepupu gw. Kami akan tinggal sementara di sana. Emak gw udah nyuruh tukang untuk bangun semacam paviliun di sana. Rumah kami sudah laku dibeli orang. (Adoohh, tentunya dibeli orang... masa dibeli yang lain...) Rumah kami menyimpan banyak sekali kenangan yang kalo diceritain bisa ngalahin Cinta Fitri season 10. Nantinya emak gw bakalan (kayaknya) betah tinggal di paviliun rumah sepupu gw. Dan sepertinya tahun 2011, gw bakal tinggal di rumah baru (padahal belum diapa-apain) sendiri. Emak gw udah ngumumin kalo doi pengen "ngusir" gw. Katanya sih biar gw mandiri, gitu dehhh... Tapi emak gw emang nggak khawatir ya, anaknya yang imut ini digodain?! Huhhuuhhuuu~~~~~


Begitulah kira-kira kisah perjalanan gw di tahun 2010 ini. Makasih udah meluangkan waktu untuk baca. Periksa kembali barang bawaan anda. Sampai jumpa di lain kesempatan.


Salam 2011,




Lou

Famous 1984-borns: A Dedication, Reminder and um... Whatever!

The only reason why i'm writing this is because i didn't expect the unexpected.

And the reason why you continue reading this is because you don't give a **** about my reason.

Okay, the story goes like this...

I'm not much of a birthday person. Heck, the last thing i could care about is a birthday, um... my own birthday.
When i was younger, i had some birthday celebrations. You know, the parties with balloons and cakes, and gifts with food and handshakes. That kind. Well, honestly, i didn't like them, in fact i was wondering what my parents were thinking at that time. I mean, they had the parties for me when i was a kid. Then when i was in my teenage, they gave me money when i wanted to "celebrate" my birthday with my friends, as in eating out. Hey, what a lucky kid i was, eh?!

Years came by, i passed my teenage, "arrived" in my early twenties, then to my mid twenties. Yes, i'm in my mid twenties and i feel so old. Ok, some of you might shout, "If you're old, what do you call me (anyone older who happens to read this post)? Ancient?"
Well, the feeling is not because i am literally that old. It's just because i thought i could've done more, made more, had more than whatever i've done, made and had so far. And yes, it's not that i'm not grateful. It's a moment when i realized that i let myself down because of my own expectation. I mean, who am i racing with? I don't even know why i'm like this. So, i made up my mind. I'm gonna write something that makes me feel mmm... slightly better, at least.

When my birthday came this Friday, i tried to reply the text messages, i responded to all wall posts and private messages in facebook. Yes, some of the people are friends of friends, and even random people who are friended via facebook. My point is, i'm not excited about birthday, so why bother thanking? Why did i care enough to do such a "nice" thing?
You know what, i think the wishes and prayers from the people did me GOOD. Well, getting older is not something bad. It's something natural. Ah! I know, you probably say, "Yeah, where have you been, girl?" And um, yes, i've been here and there, dreaming my dream. Or so i thought.
I'm a dreamer but i know i'm not the only one. So, don't blame me for having big dreams that i thought would've come true by the time i reached my mid twenties. Kay, enough said. I need to "make" myself feel comfortable with what i am, how i am, and of course who i am. 

So, i decided to write about people, especially the 1984-borns. The famous, the rich, the A-list! Or yet, the forgotten?!

1. Adam Lamberg
Every body, i didn't mistype. It's Adam LAMBERG not LAMBERT okay? I don't know whether this pic is his latest pic. Well, if you don't know who he is, it means he has never been THAT important. He was quite famous back then. He played Gordo in Lizzie McGuire, or was it MacGuire (definitely not Macgyver, sorry, attempted joke!!!) series. I don't know what he's doing now or what he's doing, last thing i know he's still alive. Damn! I'm so mean!!! He's one of the "famous" 1984-borns. And that, makes him stay in my list.



2. Avril Lavigne
Actually, i think this little princess is freakishly annoying!!! I mean, i thought she thinks like, "Hey world, you know, i'm Avril. THE AVRIL!!!" Hehehehe... Even so, i like her music. She really is talented. It's just her behaviour that gets on my nerve. I'm not a hater, no. 
3. Fernando Torres
Frankly speaking, i don't know this guy until i saw his pic on billboard, and um, in the ad during the World Cup season. The only Torres i know is Dr. Callie Torres, an ortho surgeon from Grey's Anatomy series. LOL! Why is he here? Simply because he's a successful footballer (gosh! i'm such a gold-digger!!!)

4. Gareth Gates
I wonder where he is now? Somewhere in England, i presume. Hahahaha... This guy is a runner-up of the first Pop Idol. Losing to Will Young rose him to fame in Asia. Seriously, who knows Will Young? (And sorry, who is Gareth Gates again?)
Okay, Gareth, maybe we don't know you, but you had your time in 2003. Your song was on every radios (except on those that play dangdut) and most TVs played your video. Do you still remember the lyrics: It can happen to...anyone of us?

5. Jackson Rathbone
I'm not into Sparkles (Do you know who i mean by this?), ok?! So, i put Jay here because he's 1984-born. And i'm still amazed by his acting in one of the episodes of Criminal Minds, in which he played the MPD serial killer. It took me an hour to realize that he is the same actor who plays Sparkles' brother. Duh!!!!

6. Katharine McPhee
Who's that pretty lady??? Meet Miss McPhee, the runner-up of American Idol season 5. Though i'm not a fan of her music, i think she's the prettiest American Idol contestant! (Eh?! What does the mean woman mean?!)

7. Katy Perry
Ever since her "Hot N Cold", i decided to keep an eye on this girl. I mean, i think it's kinda late to "rise" at her age, especially at that time, Lady Gaga also came to fame. But, she managed to stay in the business, no? Way to go, Perry!!!

8. Kelly Osbourne
She was kinda a troubled child, considering the parents. I used to pay atterntion on the Osbournes when they were aired on MTV Asia. She was kinda psychotic, even to me... But then, look at her now. Looking decent and (almost) aristocratic!!! Whoa!!!

9. Kevin Zegers
Who watched Air Bud??????? Well, this is the kid. Yes, this Canadian actor rose to fame in the late of mid 1990s (meaning?!) from the so-called phenomenal movie Air Bud. Ohhh how i love the golden retriever!!! (HEH?!)
Anyone knows where he is now???

10. Lucas Grabeel
WTF??? I put one of the HSM cast??? Well, he was born in the same year as i was. And um, he's famous, at least for those kids, he is like an idol. Hahaha, that before Justin Bieber epidemic spread... Yes, i don't know anything about this guy. And i don't care. He should be just thankful because i put him in my list. (The ultimate mean remarks!!!)

11. Mark Zuckerberg
This multi-billion businessman is colorblind! Yes, that's why facebook is blue!!! You know where i knew about this? Twitter!!!

12. Prince Harry Windsor
Because Prince William is taken, and is getting bald, and his fiance is so annoying and i'm envious cause i'm not marrying a prince, so Prince Harry is here for me. Duh!!!!

13. Scarlett Johannson
ScarJo is alright. I mean she act quite well. She's not THAT beautiful but she's okay. And yes, she's very curvy... Hohohoho...

14. Shayne Ward
This guy probably made you raise an eyebrow, or two... Well, he's not THAT popular here in Asia, ok, correction, IN Indonesia. Well, as an X Factor winner, this British Guy "came" to my life in the beginning of 2008, when i heard his songs from his SECOND album. See, he's not that popular.

15. Wesley Snipe, oops, Sneijder
Okay, i don't watch football like i used to. Na-ah, i don't know this guy just like i don't know Torres. Well, Both Sneijder and Torres' countries made it to the final World Cup, right? (Try to figure out the connection...)

Okay, that's the wrap. I kindly ask for apologies if i may have sounded mean and sour as always. Thanks for reading... Hehehehe

Hit me back, just to check
Surely yours, 


Lou
