Today my English teacher told my class to write our opinion about our school on a piece of paper. Good timing. Again, I was way too excited, I even wrote way too longer than everyone else. Meh. There was a question, “What do you like about your school?” I only wrote a one-sentence answer. But when there was a question, “What do you hate about your school?” I wrote a one-page answer.

The last question was, “What do you think the school should do to be better?”

1. Change the whole management
2. Change the whole management
3. Change the whole management
4. Change the whole management
5. For the sake of mankind

And I’m serious. If you were in the same school as me, you’d probably answer the same. Because, I told you, the whole management sucks big time. The teachers are okay actually, but the principal and the vice-principals just make me want to puke. There are more than tons of stories to tell about how stupid the management is. It’s not only me who is thinking this way, a few of the teachers also think the same. The previous principal was even better. Now he has moved to elementary school. Okay what the hell.

ONE MORE YEAR. I know, one more year and I’ll be out of this dystopia. I can’t seriously wait. I’ll be missing my friends and the nice people, but other than that I won’t have other things to remember about. Maybe the “how school my stupid is” memory will be worth it to be laughed at. 8D

Yesterday I was cleaning up my folders and I just realized that during my hiatus, I’ve written a lot of articles or blogs and I totally FORGOT about them. I’ll post them later.

Exams are in two weeks! And in two weeks I won’t be a 8th grader anymore. Good thing: it was said that the drama will be on August! HOORAY, so it means that I can go to watch and take care of some things. So it means that I’m not going to miss the play that I wrote with two of my classmates. Oh yays.

But vacation is another awesome thing! My parents have gotten the Schengen visa. I’ll be away from June 14 until June 28 (two days after exams… haha). Oh I’m also going to miss my report card (my parents will take it when Year 9 starts though). Waaaa so much to miss.

Just in case you’re wondering about the Olympiad (even though that I doubt you are haha), no news at all. Actually, my principal said, there’s actually someone in my school who gets through to the next stage (or whatever) out of sixteen students of my school that were participating. But they didn’t want to say anything until they get the official announcement, so yeah. Only one student? I can’t see any hope there. >.>

This blog is getting nowhere, so I’ll end this right here. Exams will be in two weeks, and I must study hard (read: not to touch my biggest distraction for a few days… Internet). Don’t freak out if I suddenly disappear.

The Science competition, is delayed again. It’s annoying and I feel like I’ve had enough of things that my vice-principal did. I’ll just be honest here, I seriously think that my vice-principal is degrading some teachers/trainers, and there are just some former trainers that he doesn’t like (that’s why he changed my former trainers…). I’m not assuming things, it’s very obvious and besides, he talked about it. I wanted to punch him right in the face when he said it, one of my friends almost cried. Seriously. He’s sick. I’m not going into details, because it’s just way too complicated.

I have like about 7-8 assignments to be done in three days (we have three days off). See? My school is totally sick. And in two of the three days, I have to go to school because of the competition thing. I’ve started to work on my assignments today just in case everything gets messed up.

In this point, I feel so pissed off at my school. I wish I could just move like, right now. The teachers… most of them can’t teach. It’s not just me that thinks so. Ask all of my classmates and they’d say the same. I’ve been nice enough to not curse at them. My classmates even curse them while they’re away (especially my math teacher…). One more year and I’ll free from my school. I should be happy.

I went to a mall nearby today. I was going to buy a book for my Bahasa assignment. It was a new mall and everyone seemed to go there lately. The building was pretty cool but there’s just nothing inside it in my opinion. When I finally got in front of the automatic door, I stared at it for a long time and laughed. Know why? Because I remembered that I was so amused with automatic door back then.

There were actually so many things that made me amused when I was younger. Even some of them still amuse me until now. I decided to write a list of (stupid) things that used to amuse me back then:

1. Automatic door. Seriously. I had no idea; those automatic doors were like a mind-reader or something! I mean, they didn’t even eyes but they’d open if I needed to go inside. They were kind of stupid though; they didn’t know if I was pretending to go inside or not. One day I kept coming inside and out; it kept opening and closing and I was laughing and said, “You’re fooled! Yaaaay!”

2. How clothes can get smaller. I remember when I was six or so, mom helped me to clean up my wardrobe and then she was about to throw my favorite shirt away. I asked her, “Mom, why are you going to do that?” She said, “Because this shirt doesn’t fit you anymore.” First thought: That shirt is shrinking. I didn’t know if it was me that was growing, instead… I thought that the shirt was getting smaller and smaller.

3. Dubbing. I live in Indonesia, and most of cartoons were dubbed from English to Bahasa. I thought, “Oh my god, Teletubbies are so cool! They can speak Bahasa! OMG, they’re awesome. They’re officially my idols. Maybe they can speak French too? Japanese? I wonder why they’re so smart.”

4. Bubble wraps. Actually, they still amuse me, until now. I don’t know why, but every time my parents got something with bubble wraps wrapping it, I always fought with my sister over those bubble wraps.

As I grew up, I started to understand them. Everything used to be… I don’t know, they just didn’t make sense. They were like, MAGIC. But turned out they’re actually not. I know, I know. Stupid me. But I was a kid, remember? Who expects a kid to know everything?

Okay. I think I really need to shut up now, because I need to take a shower and stuff. Anyways, I’ve only done four of 8 assignments that my teacher gave me.

Hello school.

I also have a new layout after a while. I like it, and I hope you’re not tired of seeing red dots everywhere. I also changed the layout of my portfolio Iris, and edited a few things there. Picture It isn’t fully done, but well… I added two galleries from my West Sumatra and Bandung Trip (2009 – 2010). Other galleries are coming soon. I’m adding a few scans now.

I’ve been on Skeletons MB lately, you guys should join if you haven’t.

I’m glad to be back, even though most people that I know have gone or closed their sites… I’m sure I’m going to miss them. I do miss how world wide web felt like before I went on an unexpected hiatus, but I have to let those good times go.

So what keeps me busy offline? I’m not really busy offline (currently). But next year I’m sure I’ll be really busy with school. I think if I want to have fun in the world wide web I should do it now because next year maybe I’ll have to take a hiatus or something (everything can happen in twelve months, I know). Next year I’ll be in my ninth year and I’ll be busy mostly with national exams. I noticed that people who are in their ninth year now are very busy; they usually go home on eight. Now that’s crazy.

There were phases where I just couldn’t handle the amount of my homework and assignments that went up high all of a sudden. Now it’s coming again. Since people in the ninth year will be having their national exam this week, I get a one-week holiday. Not really a holiday; my teachers gave me bunches of homework and most of them are group assignments. I don’t really like group assignments because sometimes you’ll just have to get together to discuss things when you and people in your group don’t really have time. Talking via e-mail can work but I don’t think it will be really effective. But it’s high school and I have to face it. Meh. Sometimes I wish I could skip my high school years but how if I later regret it and I’ll say, “I’d kill to go back to high school”?

Life is all about choices and decisions. Too bad that I’m such a bad decision maker. Pfft.

My offline life has been going pretty good. There were some little problems… not actually little but I don’t really want to take them into my mind. One of them is this: you know that I’m in this kind of physics-olympiad-thing (with other three people and eight people from biology and math) and the competition is on April 10 2010 which is like two weeks away. Yesterday my school abruptly stopped our training routine (it has been stopped since two weeks ago, and they say it’ll be continued this week). They’re taking care of the ninth graders so there won’t be any training until national exams are over.

Yeah, great. Maybe they’re expecting us to study by ourselves, learn to be independent and blah, but science isn’t as easy as pie and you just can’t give us a pile of books to read and when the day comes we’ll be ready and we’ll be the winner. This is my school’s very well known habit. When we win the school will be the one who gets everything but when we lose we will be the ones who are scolded. I know where this story is going. I really do.

I’m studying by myself (my parents can’t really help) now. I’m not forcing myself though because I don’t want to torture myself just because of this.

Just don’t blame us if we lose, please. Thank you.

I know I’ve been inactive for a long time, thanks to my dearest internet. I was trying to get my site up (properly) before its first anniversary, but it’s just impossible since my current internet is so slow, so I have to bear with this one. I have to say that since my disappearance I don’t talk a lot to my friends like I used to, and most of them have closed their sites or gone on a hiatus. One day I re-read my old comments and my old tweets. I missed those days, really. I wish I could say thank you to those people and you, of course, who are with me throughout my journey in the world wide web. I really appreciate it guys, and without you, Urban Conspiracy wouldn’t stand until a year.

Even though things are going a little rough online, my offline life is going okay currently. Physics training has started and I went to Bandung for four days. I was taught my lecturer from ITB, and it was pretty much an experience for me. I also am interested in cosmology lately, thanks to Stephen Hawking and its “A Brief History in Time”. Talking about reading, I currently am reading The Buru Quartet by Pramoedya Ananta Toer. I haven’t read an Indonesian book for a long time and I thought it’d be good if I do. Now I’m reading the second book, titled “Child of All Nations”. Midterm will start on next Wednesday, and my grades are falling down hill. I really want to fix this mess, so I have to study harder than usual.

I hope you guys understand, and I’m currently putting my affiliates list on the sidebar. Half of their sites aren’t working, but I’ll sort it out later. For those who are wondering if I’ll continue webdesigning or not, well, I will, but I have to wait for the internet. I can’t waaaittt.

I’ll start with the good ones. So, today was a pretty cool day. The coolest thing was in Bahasa class, we only had an hour before the school was over. The teacher was outside and earlier today we had to bring balloons for Biology class. So when the teacher was out most of my classmates filled in the balloons with water, and then threw them to the wall. Lol, it was funny. Some balloons were thrown to the ceiling and to the ceiling fan, made the whole class wet. No one told the teacher, everyone was enjoying the blast. Lmaooo. I didn’t do anything though, I was just standing in the corner, watching. I know it was a bad thing, especially when the teacher caught as and was like “WHO DID THIS. WHO?” But at least all of us cleaned the class together and we didn’t blame anyone for this. Hehe. 8D

Another cool thing, remember about this Physics olympiad thing? Okay, so four students were picked up and I was one of them. Yay.

Bad news? Here we go. My mom found a good internet provider, but it will be available in where I live in April. That means, like a month away after UrbanConspiracy.net’s first anniversary.

I have a few comments to return, I’ll get back to them asap, but I have to study for tomorrow’s Math test first. Maybe this evening or tomorrow.

I know I haven’t been online for a while. My internet connection is going against me and won’t cooperate well. Hopefully on Saturday I’ll get a new one, with better speed and better quality.

Besides, I also have a lot of things going on offline. High school is fun, but the classes aren’t. I’ve just started a new semester and I already have a lot of homework. I’m also in this Physics olympiad training, and on Tuesday I had this kind of test and four students of seven students will be picked. Tomorrow is the announcement day and I’m pretty pessimist about it, but I don’t really care if I lose because I’ve tried my best. The rest is up to God.

UrbanConspiracy.net will celebrate its first anniversary on March 8! It’s been almost a year, and I’m very thankful to people that I’ve known throughout the first year of UrbanConspiracy.net. I’ve met a lot of nice people and I’ve learned a lot of things. Thank you guys for keep supporting me!

I haven’t talked to most of you guys lately. I update my Twitter via my mobile phone and I hate typing on my mobile phone haha. I’m trying to be back on track. I’ll be glad to talk to you guys again, as often as I used to, but the situation didn’t want me to.
My current internet connection is depending on credits, so I can’t return comments or such because: 1) It’s slow. 2) The 5$ credits usually run out in an hour. Yes, 5$ for an hour! In Saturday I’ll be trying to go to an office of an internet provider, then find a driver for my scanner because my laptop doesn’t have one. I lost the CD. And erm… yeah, I got a new laptop since November. (I don’t remember if I’ve told you this or not).

I think that’s all; sorry for the very short blog! I’ll be back as soon as possible.

P.S.: Links on the sidebar will be added soon. This is just a temporary layout.

Wow. Yesterday was the first day of school after three weeks break. It feels good to be with my friends and teachers again but I have to fix my sleeping pattern because when I was on my break I went to sleep on 12 am and woke up on 9 am o_o. Next week I’ll have mid-exams too so I have to study hard I tried to study math on Sunday but I had some little problem but I will sort it out though.

I can’t return some comments because AshPink’s server is down and a lot of sites are hosted under it so yeah I hope it’ll be back soon!

Anyway my friend who knows my site told me to stop complaining on my blogs and she told me to make three non-complaining blogs (haha). So I think my two previous posts were non-complaining blogs and I hope this is not a complain blog (I think this is not, heh). Mission accomplished?

On the last Sunday I went to a cinema nearby to watch Surrogates. When I saw it on VIP Access (Star Movies) I was interested, so was my dad. So we decided to watch it. It was pretty good. There were some plotholes though and there was a twisted ending but I thought it was a bit forced… but overall it was good.

The story was set on the future. Humans live in isolation and they use surrogate robots to interact with each other. They control their surrogate robot with their mind. People can make-up their surrogate robot, and their surrogate robot could look younger/thinner/sexier. This is what I exactly thought about the future. People will use robots, they’ll never leave their house… oh can you imagine that?

You know the first thing that I thought when I saw Surrogates? I said to myself, Hell no I won’t let a surrogate robot to edit my site! And I don’t want to only sit on a chair and control my surrogate robot all day! I need fresh air to live, I need to walk, I need to eat, I want to be a real human! Haha I was angry at myself when I saw it lol.

There are some people (known as dreads) who are against the surrogates so they live in the separate area of city people who are all using surrogates. If I had to choose I would choose to against the surrogates because I just don’t like sitting on my chair all day without going outside and see the world with my own eyes. That sucks big times.

Anyway maybe you’ve heard that an earthquake struck my country (west Sumatra to be exact) a few days ago. Most of my relatives live in west Sumatra but they’re all okay There are so many dead people It’s so sad… pray goes for them

I’m in rush because I have to go to school in a few minutes so yeah P Short blog, I know. Maybe I’ll edit this blog later. Have a nice day!

So I have a few updates for you guys:
» 3 Icon Textures
» 1 Brushes Set
» 4 Textures
» 1 Icon (I’m revamping icons section, going to make more soon)
» 1 Texture Tutorial

I was pretty bored and my brain was working well (not like usual) so I played around with Photoshop and ta-dah. Oh and the title of this blog. Paramore’s new album finally released yesterday (but was leaked a few days ago on their MySpace). It is pretty cool and different to their previous albums.

My holiday isn’t really interesting. I’m getting rotten in my house. Going online, sleeping, watching TV, doing assignment, sometimes going to the mall and so on. Most of my friends went back to their hometown 3 So I have nothing to tell you about my holiday… (it’s not a holiday. At all.)

I read a book about traveling around the world today. And there was a chapter about Bungee Jumping. It reminded me to a year ago when I went to Bali, and tried Bungee Jumping there (the one with trampoline). I thought everything was going to be alright. I kept saying to myself, “Ah, you can do it. All you have to do is jump on the trampoline and you’ll be fine”. So I and my sister (three years younger than me) decided to give it a shot. My sister was freaked out. We saw other people before us, some of them were crying out loud (and the ironic part I believed that I won’t get freaked out).

When the people had finished, I went to one of the trampolines (there were two or three). I wore the belt, and so on. I was really calm because I believed I won’t get freaked out (narcissism much?).

The first jump was okay. I was like popcorn, pop pop pop. But I started getting freaked out on the sixth jump. I started getting higher and higher, higher than the highest coconut tree there. I couldn’t feel the gravity anymore, I was scared to death. What I scared the most was the part when my feet hit the trampoline, and then I was like PUFFFFF, popped to the sky.

I started crying. I thought I wouldn’t cry. So I screamed and I stopped before I supposed to. When I saw my sister, she was totally fine. She totally enjoyed it. She didn’t even cry. She was laughing. I stared at her in disbelief. Tsk tsk.

It was like this (credit goes to bounceaboutleisure.co.uk) but trust me, it was higher than that.

There are a few updates:
» 2 Desktop Wallpapers
» 2 Movie Reviews
» 18 Light Stocks
» 18 Scans
» “Music on Your Site” article updated

Not a lot, but I think they’re okay. And also I’ve decided to close my reviews section. I’m terribly sorry but I don’t like making people wait but I don’t want to pressure myself too much. I won’t really have much time to go online too. I’ll stay updated on Twitter, but I’ll take everything slowly from now on. I have a life offline too. I have to go to school, study, do homework, just like any other normal people.

Happy eid for those who celebrate it! I’m not really excited because I don’t get excited easily. For you who have no idea about it, well it’s a day when the fasting month ended. On Sunday I went to the mosque, and I kept seeing people stumbled upon a rope and fell down. I counted, there were like 18 people fell in front of my eyes and it was hard to not laugh. But I didn’t laugh though. K.

And then we went to our relatives’ house… family party. Usually, in the family party, I would be the one who sits in the corner, with earphones plugged in, listening to some songs that I’m sure my relatives won’t know (and won’t care). I usually carry a book to read. I usually don’t talk much with my relatives, even the ones who are in the same age with me, because I told you we really have nothing in common… so we have nothing to say except “Hi how are ya? Good? K.” I know I sound like an anti-social person but I hate it when my relatives ask me to play something because I always can’t understand the game they’re playing, and I’d look like a total freak who doesn’t understand how to play everything. Yeah, so, in the family party, I’m a freak. Total freak. I don’t talk at all unless to my parents, my grandma, my sister or when someone talks to me first and I’ll answer them with a very very very very short answer.

Okay, I guess that’s all for now. Happy browsing the updates. I’ll return comments later or tomorrow.

Yeah, new layout, as you can see. I know I just put up the last one a few days ago 3 But I want to… change everything haha and this is my re-vamp layout ha. Besides, I messed up my previous layout’s coding. S Some of the CSS was gone and blah. It is not that great, but I like it. And it’s handmade by the way. I was bored so I went upstairs and I saw some recycled papers and stuff that I bought at the craft shop a few months ago. I played around with them and I made this layout haha.

So Urban Conspiracy is under re-vamp. Yep, open re-vamp. I don’t know when I’ll finish this re-vamp thingy, but I’m sure I will soon. It won’t take long, unless homework and school stuff decide to hate me and attack me… heh. Affiliates please don’t delete me, because this is not a hiatus or a break. I’ll just add-and-edit some stuff heh.

My laptop was acting weird yesterday. And my Windows Media Player was gone. I still keep the tracks, but the program is gone, which means I have to re-add them soon and reinstall it. I finally reinstalled it and I got Windows Media Player 11 (my previous one was Windows Media Player 10). At least I still can listen to my favorite songs. Haha.

Okay so a week off isn’t really good for me. It bores me half to death, I don’t even know what to do.

Anyway I went to Omegle yesterday. I was really bored so I decided to make some new friends on Omegle, haha. Then, I met this guy. He is from China. He kept complaining why people kept disconnecting him when he said he comes from China. So I calmed him down and told him to not take everything into his heart. I told him I hate racists too, and there’s no need to discriminate people by where they live or where they come from. He asked for my MSN and I gave him (blah why did I give it to him? I’m regretting it now. )

No I’m not going to tell you that he kept sending me some porn links or blah. He is a nice guy, but he irritates me so much because he kept talking to me on MSN. The first time he talked to me on MSN, we talked about yeah, random stuff, like how is it like in China, etc. The second time, I was busy with my site (he doesn’t know that I have site) so I said to him that I am working on homework. He said, “Alright.”

But, three minutes later, he said, “Have you done your homework yet?”

Of course I haven’t! I’m not a magical fairy who could finish my homework on three minutes! I said, “No.” And he kept asking me for every three minutes.

So I blocked him.

I felt bad at first, but it has happened for many times, I couldn’t take it anymore. Sure, he is a nice guy. But I don’t like people who keep talking to me when I am clearly working on something or busy. It irritates me.
