To get back in track and Swirl!

19.2.10


I know. Again. It's so dull late to make following kind of writing. 2010 resolution. Pffh. *Another?* I dunno even if I ever made one last year. I don't think so. Come to think of what I hadn't made any resolution post last year...In fact all along 2009, I had only several posts....Not that I'm lazy. Not that I had nothing to say. In fact last year 2009 was full of canon balls rushing in my head. So fast I hardly have time to think over and jot it down here before another come rush in. So there was it. I was tired just thinking about it. And nothing said.

In the mid of 2009 I posted something reflectional here. As I said in the post, 2008 was for me a blissful year, a year with tonza bless, and when everything seems so smooth like how I wanted it to be. Maybe I prayed to hard for all my wishes to come true--like a stubborn, while I didn't know whether those wishes were the best for me, but I was indeed hard on myself, and persistent! and of course God has always been giving, and there it was, all my wishes came true that very year.

Like bolts of lighting it came rushing into my first half of the year. I felt so blessed. Promotion, Lovelife, Scholarship, French excelling course, Going to Europe, Studying again. It was all dreams came true.

And when they say life is like a rolling tire :"you cannot be always on the top. sometime you'll be on the bottom"...I was precautious. Noting that I had felt blessed that year, I knew that the downfall will come soon or later. And it came after staggering downwards mood along december to february 09. And the sad part of the movie comes. All that I'd wished for and came true the other year, vanished. I had no moment to cry in despair. I could not let my tears blurs my vision that I needed at the utmost that moment. My brain was running crazy to grasp whatever I can hold to in order to breathe, survive and determine how this downfall might as well a good start for upward journey.

So I did everything I could, keeping my faith high as possible, making up my mind and sign myself back into track, as early as January 09. So that was actually the only thing that I had wished for in the early 2009. Nothing Else. To get back into the right track and hoping that this time--despite all things-- I have made my mind clear enough to discern my capacity and passion in life, and not again to stumble into wrong tunnel in life. As simple as that. Nothing grandious. But to realize later, that early 2009 was helluv-an important point in my life.


So that was it. Getting back into track was all 2009 was about. A year was really long time, eh? But along the side, I learnt things that I wouldn't have learnt otherwise. I had to choose in between tracks, and sometimes bewildered of the choices. I was noting insistently, that we can have thousand wishes, but He is the one who knows your need. Due to that I learned not to expect so much of myself, and not being so stubborn and smartass, and just enjoy life and embrace what it offers to the greatest extent. I learnt to forgive myself quickly when I made mistakes and make up. I focus on the things that were important, and learned hard way that my passion is my only guiding light. Where there's passion, there's the way to pursue. Without which I'm going nowhere. I would plan, but left some spaces at every moment to swing all sides. and I swing! And everything else would fall into place. Insya Allah.

Only at the very beginning of year 2010 I felt like I am indeed already back on track, and alhamdulillah on the track--I think--I'm meant to be. I feel dearly in passion in what I'm studying and that's probably the only force I'm needing to continue move on. I freely admit that I don't know how to do things right now. What I will do next 6 months and so forth. But I'm clinging on my passion--for that's all there is. And I know that this 2010 I want to live a rich, magnificent, inspiring, motivated, productive and passionate life. How? I don't know exactly but I'm planning (I know it's February already but you'd never cease planning, would you?)

I'll explore, and swirl--As I now know, life is not like a tire but it creates this spiral motion, once your up, and once your down, that's true, but you're never in the same point and you'll move faster and faster into the abyss of the spiral--or the pinnacle of the spiral--or life objective, you name it. And your spiral is not at all the same as mine. But maybe it's as exciting, depending how you put the pen and let it roll...

Well my couch-potato days to explore and plan is immensely reduced officially today as next monday i'll be back in class--but hopefully this little bit of fire sparks the upcoming months to its fullest speed. and maybe yours too!

GodSpeed! ^^



nb : Relating to what I have written back in 2006, here, I partly got the answer of my question that indeed, play with your strength and don't put some much time bothering to make up your weaknesses!

This last one and a half year has been truly a roller coaster ride, where I was once up, stumbling down, trying to inspire self, and brought myself up again for the next thrill...These above are my states of mind, captured in Facebook for the whole 2009....Of course, in facebook, unlike in financial information, positive sides are more amplified than negatives one, but anyway, this is quite some souvenir I can keep all year forward... :p without regret, to live life to the fullest, like I've been, and to further sip its nectar.

Trust, How Are You?

18.7.09



Trust - a simple word but indeed a key ingredient to ANY relationships: boyfriend-girlfriend, parents-children, husband-wife, neighbours, and oh how it's so critical to the functioning of any good society. Despite the simplicity it may sound, Trust is a concept that is really hard to implement. In any boy-girl relationships, it requires first 'trustable' characteristics--whatever that means to you--records with ex-relationships, parents' marriage, commitment, you name it, it may be endless . In neighbourhood, it requires frequent quality mutual interaction in order 'trust' can be embedded in every soul, to every another soul. In bigger scope, society, trust is never easy. Even trust buil in centuries of civilization can falter in a minute of misconduct.

With trust, there'd be no fear, no worry, carefree in living everyday life. There'd be no use carrying knife everyday to school, There'd be no fear of conducting praying in religion that you believe in in public space. Well, a calm surface doesn't always mean nothing occurs below it. But harmonious-look on the surface would certainly help trust building, wouldn't it?

The surface? yes. The environment, in society plays BIG role. Appereance, on the surface again, is important. One instance where appereance seems to be trivial but truly is crucial in society : It had required New York Government to prove its Broken Windows theory, eliminating wall-graphity act for 6 years until it finally create its default sounder environment. Grafitti, it had believed, was the symbol of the collapse of the system--who would have thought ? who would have bought such idea? but it had proven working. Another on appereance, it's also norm to well-dress yourself when you're trying to stop a car for hitchhiking. No kidding. How would you expect trust to be put on you if you're dressed in dirty clothes and have some odour of 3-days-not-changed socks? Although on the other hand, some instance of banning jilbab in public spaces or university in some countries, does not at all promote trustworthy society, and even cause backlashing anger within.

Where everything is neat, organized, and everybody seems to be living decent life in whatever faith and believe they'd like to live, it's rather easy to built trust. In this part of the world i'm living now, I would not hesitate to hitchhike with anybody on my travel to another country or anywhere nor would I hesitate to accept couchsurf requests or demanding someone's couch to sleep over in my journey. Moreover, one might not hesitate to invite a beggar outside to stay over for the nite (Which I doubt I would do likewise in Jakarta, no matter how angelic I am). There's less worry, and hence, less prejudging. This is a trust built in society--not merely individual trusts. This is rather a kind of trust that people crave to live in--to live in peace.

There's no guarantee that a society where there was no corruption, no bribe nor terorism bombing attempt would really trust one another, either. But where these acts are common, it's next to impossible to build trust. So where's the position of our trust in Indonesia society nowadays? Bhineka Tunggal Ika('Unity in Diversity') that we still endearly praise is a kind of societal concept hardly exist in other nations and it's been builing trust for centuries of civilization in Indonesia. We should hold and live it proudly as well. But still, we cannot close our eyes that the value erodes. There are malicious minds sipping in our brains that aims at separating us apart. I wouldn't say that these crazy bomber guys are Indonesian citizen. They're not educated to be one nor would they try to be one and save the country, they're not loving Indonesia, and more universally, they're not even loving any other human!


Surely what had made them such bloody-bombastic-killers is already a big socioeconomic issue to sort out, but I'd also like to think about how it affects trust. This bombing is not going to make trust more easily built, left alone it's making it much more devastated. Not to mention parties of politics who are using such miserable event to black-sheep other parties! How they're ignorant and instead of fighting againts the terorists they're splitting people apart! This is the least that we need. We need to be together and not let these negatives thoughts of prejudging, doubt, mistrust, sipping in our brain. The lack of trust--despite the personal freedom--wears on people. The lack of trust--with personal freedom--significantly backlashes on society as well! It's becoming more and more essential to keep our head hard and cool while trying to also make our heart warm and softer to embrace, respect and love people-no matter how and from where they belong. If you do respect and love, would you dare to bribe from them? would you dare to terrorize them? would you not trust them? Isn't it--to put it other way--takes much more energy and resources to fight rather than to live in peace?.....But,
a soft heart --loving and embracing alone is not enough of course.

It's no easy task. I'd say first we have to be responsible. If we expect others to be trustworthy, we have to lift ourselves up to be trustworthy in the eyes of those we must live around—and through our actions show them that they should follow suit. For which we need to stop pointing fingers and focus on sharpening our hard skill and making our head harder and cooler as much as our effort to soften (and enlighten!) our heart. Intentions is as useful as a bike for a fish without any action following it. It may as well require 3 more generations to make a really sound, respectful and trustworthy society. But it's nothing impossible no? We have indeed the strong base, we have to keep away the things that makes it stumbling even further and rebuild.

So? let's unite and make a better future for our society! ^^V

hm.. As i'm still living here, it may sound hypocrit or whatever, but I do care and feel utterly sad... :(. hope to walk to talk soon, though

Stocking Transparent Cellotape

28.5.09


In a post of 2008's new year *well in fact, it's still in this page, see how unproductive blogger I am on the whole of 2008 and this first half of 2009!!^_^*..., I wrote ....



"the alteration of the year usually become the time when we wrap what we already had at that time,


Start to open a new wrapping sheet, Design what kinda gift we would want to wrap up in the end of the next termine, the next new year"



I kinda did it. I opened a wrapping sheet in gold bright motives I really liked. Wide enuff as to contain my box of dream that year. That golden box, had been there for quite some time. I wanted it. badly. If my heart could scream, it would have. Loud it would have been.


And then.... the wrapping began...I put the box on top the wrapping sheet, composed it carefully..., plied the wrapping sheet and in each ply, cellotaped it with prayings day and nite and sheer faith that God would hear me pray. Of course. He's so giving. And I, too got the answer. It was what I'd wanted. that golden box was a new chaptre of a book, scribbled already, but it was a new chaptre!! Like a kiddo being told a new fairy tales, I was gleefully starting to read it, out loud--page by page.


But that kiddo was crying as the end of the fairy tales was a horrifying end. sparing nightmares. Hei.., but luckily I took notice...this fairy tales book is different. It gives several storylines. You remember illustrated book when you were a kid, you're the actor and there'd be options below the pages, on which act you'd choose to pursue according to what your heart tells you, following to different pages and hence different endings? This is likewise. A multistoryline fairy tales book. No matter how hard you try to pick which action you'd pick in every bottom of the page, you still cannot expect what awaits you in the following page. But as all fairy tales with God as the director, whatever story it is, it is exciting--and indeed, life is :). And we're mere actors huney, we're supposed to just read thru the script and play along.


I wanted that bright coloured sheet and that golden box. I wanted it badly. And at the end of the year I turned out having a gift wrapped in a black sheet. As the wrapping may look un-enticing, and the dope black sheet was not really pleasant to the eyes-though it was nicely plied..., I carefully opened it, peered inside and I was .....I was ...awed by glittering rainbow coloured box inside, a box I've never seen in any window I'd run thru in my past life....and all the while, I say T h a n k Y o u --I smiled...despite it's non golden state. ---n ssshh...Ah, and in fact, I truly love its magenta! *maw* ;p

Continuum As Time Can Be

5.2.08


2008

It's not even January.
It's not even the beginning of February.
Have I missed it? Has it been stale?

Awh.

What's with the ultimate count down on 31st Dec?
What makes it different on 12.59.59 that nite with 00.00.01 the next morning?

It's supposed to be mere continuum,

But still, a sense of erase and rewind is what's commonly felt.

the alteration of the year usually become the time when we wrap what we already had at that time,

Start to open a new wrapping sheet,
Design what kinda gift we would want to wrap up in the end of the next termine, the next new year

starting all over again.
Making up our mistakes---well for this one, you'd do it later after life, though. hahhehe

No. It's not erase and rewind. it's erase and forward. It charges new spirit into you.

It was supposed to be the moment when you can stop, asks yourself 'Am I happy?'. Answer,'yes!' and move on. Hahhaa. it's that brief happiness is, as always--doesn't it?. But always worth reminiscing.

***



Me?


Neah, I'm not into those things. I mean planning. hahahaa....Resolution would usually be re-solution for the next round...I never plan my life for a whole one year, Hahha! beat it for those who encourage me to build a 3 years vision and mission. :p I can't make my plan for a year, and you want me to make 3 or 5 or 10 years ?!! You're not getting it! I just can't seem to be able to do it. Not that I don't want to achieve something, the light in the end of the road is somewhat imminent, I know what I'm doing and for what means do I do what I do, now. I know that everyday's a lesson should reflect on yesterday's mistakes and turns downs. I know what I build today is for tomorrow. So do it just right and on my max, coz you can't turn back time. But that's it. As continuum as time can be, I only have past and present. Where my present is better than my past--My future will then lead. Hopefully.





That was about making plan--which I do zilch. nada. BUt on the minutes change of the year, I'd like it to be memorable. Hee hee




  • This year 2008 I was fortunate to have it somewhat great. Awaiting countdown in Asakusa, Tokyo.
  • Last Year, It was truly pathetic, spent the change of the year 2007 in my laboratory, Alone doing my final assignment.crash and burn!!
  • The Year before that, the change to 2006 was also helluva fun. I was on 4 day Ujung Kulon trekking trip, on a grassy field viewing the beach, though alas, on the very minute of 00.00.00, it was raining heavily. So....So long the count down.
  • Changing to 2005...it was that party in LFM.
  • Changing to 2004...err it's getting harder....awI forgot. !!! Oh my. so far is my memory. I can't remember which occasion is when.


I am already sleepy. Betta go to bed now. Hm, One thing for sure. Over the year, my persona has evolved tremendously. Thanks to people surrounds me to whom I respect, love and always learn from. You guys and girls have been inspiration to me..Please stay so. I'm not planning on stop changing--for better me. *hugs everybodaeeeiiii* ..... ^^V OK ok. I'm getting delirious. Bye for now.

It's not that I don't care about your 'fluffy' pet...

6.12.07


Sure time flies.

Hm..Let’s take a glance back. Not so far back. 6 years ago. When webpage was all HTML and ASP based. Nailing the script was a pain in the arse, setting a blog would be cumbersome, and friendster as I remembered, was not even in beta mode yet. Oh, but we had IRC, ICQ, and all sorta stuffs. But was there any wall containing our most cutest pose, stranding aside our ‘living the moment’ status? Our confession of ‘today’s achievement’, all-books-I’d-read, and not to forget fluffy virtual pets incessantly craving for your caress? Testimonial posts.. They say it’s social networking. But let’s move more backward...just 5 years more backward. When internet’s was not that hip. Should anyone voluntarily posted their their cutest photo, have them glued to an electricity pole or school public magazine or walls, along with their hobby, relationship status, not to mention the flirty letters ....unless you’re running your campaign for a presidency seat –or, desperately seeking partner in life in matchmaking column, I suppose in more chances the police would certainly got involved, wouldn’t they?!. =p

But now! Dozens of so they called ‘social networking’ channels for all queerness in life : MySpace, LinkedIn, Friendster and the hippiest nowadays, Facebook. Not to mention other function-structured specific ones as Goodreads, Flickr, Flixster, Tabblo, del.i.ci.ous... And in case you haven’t got enough friends you might then try others hi5 or Windmill, or...oh can’t just remembered those all I’d signed up. Pfyyuuhh!!!

Well, Yes, I’m in all of those, and more the more I got engaged, sorry friend. It’s hard to say this to a non-meta friend, I suppose, but you, have taken too much of my time! The poking, the hugging, the gift browsing...It's truly fun....but, still!...Not to mention the bandwidth mostly unbearable by internet-cafes or dial up speed internet connections. Now, considered poking and hugging meta-friends are ritual, for just poking it might take 20 seconds. Oh. et...c'est pas a moi...but most my friends have endless app already installed hence it'd take minutes (with sheer luck to have all downloaded) just to open their page!

Social Networking channels.....Well, does that means that the most people having friends on the so-called virtual space, the most popular the person? In some cases it’s even aggravated by a ‘Popularity contest’ apps, supposedly tracked by statistics on people coming by. Hm. Yep, that might be a good paramater afterall. I got great times finding my old mates and finding people in same interests allrite. But is it all about engaging friends and solely social networking? Certainly not... It’s now all about Self-Branding!

Is it that you want to take comments on others, or give charm bracelet as gifts to your girlfriends, or having an Octoberfest...what-de...No. Better admit it. It’s mostly about you, yourself. =p Which I may interpret as me, I myself and mine. Vote me, pinch me, hug me, know me, say how interesting I am. Owh. It’s no more subtle. We put everything on the wall. It’s amazing of how I could know more about you than I do myself. So long self-depreciation and modesty! There’d be no king and queen. We are all king and queens!


If we’re to name ourself a generation, hm. Generation X’s taken back in the spice girls day, Generation Y was taken all the same. then, Generation ‘I’ would be my best choice of all. Why “I”? But why not? Narcissism is the new wave, surged, washed and soaked us all over the continents!!

Anyway. I’m not saying it’s bad. It’s a phenomenon leading to other advantages. Imagine what we could do with such network and –if not said ‘easy’—tight bondness – pledge a campaign and easily aroung 4000++ people would rush voting for; held an activist movement –find those concern much about would be a click away; desperately missing someone without wanting to loose face calling over—simply send a gift! How it’s all about text and emoticon nowadays! Anyway, narcissm ain't at all bad... the more we love ourself—in any case the essential of narcissism—the more then we would love our surrounding, ain’t it?!

Adding other advantage...blending those slow social network w/ the faster ones (i.e. sms, irc, ym, etc) would make another Conversational Behaviour....at least would make us busy two or three years ahead...

See, the key is moderation and balance, as always. Thus I can tell that no way in the future virtual world would supersede real life.

The "slow" and "fast" social networks are actually "asynchronous" and
"synchronous", and thus not competing with, but complementing each other. And
you need both in the world we're about to enter.
Sure agree with the statement. Those sticking to just one side is just not getting the most of our time!

Hmm...can’t wait the day when : the ‘poke’ application is installed in every mobile phones now all blue-toothed. Guess it’s not a great leap of technology to get to that part, afterall...it's only a matter of when the price of mobile internet would fall downright.... imagine...

A girl standing in the middle of a town square or a train station or an airport or a restaurant, holding her mobile and make sure her mobile brand arouse evidently, so that it'd be easily spotted— she stand tall...take a glance around......

Ah! cute guy 3 o’clock, 9 metres away—phone type...er...

she turn on the bluetooth...—searching mobile

....gotcha!----hmm....what about... poke! ......pinch! ................hug!

Have you ever just sit, or drive, or walk aimlessly,
no pretense, without rushing anything into your head...,
or even anything outta your head...

to be just the way all senses are supposed to be.
just to s e e, to h e a r, and to f e e l...
...and to s m i l e...as your heart pleases...
...or disgusted...as your soul despise
...or to be stunned in awe...
...or...just..., ehm, .....nothing...

Well, of course you have.

Or else, you'd be a maniacly depressed...
... for not ever letting your senses breathes once and a while...

No, No, Of course you're not. Well, at least for those without melancholic personality would find it a bit harder...hehe...

Well i'm not. even little things can make me smile. and shrud for a while. People may say I'm weird for paying too much attention to such nifty things...so would they think. Hmm...

Like I stop walking and just stand when the leaves fall from their twigs...

Like I slow down my speed when I see bursts of sun rays shimmers in a morning haze...

Like I always take glance to the vast green football field on my morning jog..wishing to just open my running shoes, run above it and just make both of my feet wet of morning dew...

Like when I run in the morning, I look up upon the sky, to see whether Venus is still peeking from space out there...

Like I shruds seeing two old couples hand in hand...

Like I love seeing the reflection of traffic and car lights on wet asphalt in a cloudy after-rain-noon...

Like how I could see kiddos from the street shivers behind my hazy windshield, with the red traffic light in the background...stunned. feel empty.confused.

Like how I love to lay down during all night walk in the jungle, flexed my back and see the stars above...

Like how I miss each full moon .... and if i get lucky, with the halo surrounds it.

Like when I'm in high places, I imagine I jumped, rolled twice and fall like an acrobatic, paranoia, I know. I even see my body down there laying. in a very awkward position.

Like how I could stand strenous exercise, to have my muscles all cramped up. Just to 'feel' that all are still intact. From head to toes and each finger tips.


even a mushroom grows in a clover praire melts me down
Like I jolted happily finding two twigs of mushrooms growing in a vast clover prairie by the seaside.

Like I love to see plastic bag swirled by the wind caressing it...and just never hit the ground.

Like I'm happy just to smile to a stranger, and to see their smiling face back at me.

Like I dear to see birds flying in V-shaped formation...not over my head, please, though.

Like I hate to see those kinda watch which slides incessantly. Not giving me any time just to stay and feel.

Like I love to see children playing, without any burden whatsoever, smiles tugging on their innocent cute faces. So free.. hehehe...can I play too?

Hhh...At these times, how much I wished I have my camera around, then I'd grab and capture the moment, the super brief persecond. Coz I know, my scattered brain wouldn't archive it better than my camera.

I know it's so cliche...but It's NOT making anybody a lunatic, ain't it? --well of course there's boundaries...hehe--And anyway, everybody needs some quality idle time, don't they!

So, Relax.

Just sit, stay, still, or just slow down your pace and . . . . f e e l . . . .

*ey, the list might grow...so come back later...

we live only once on this bee-uu-teee-fyyuuuulll world. =D

On those labeled XS.S.M.L.XL

25.11.06


What?.....oh, we're talking bout Size?! What Size?

It's the ultimate discussion topics among..err..girls. women par exact.

oh, ok. THAT size.

No, No...not THAT size. (whatever you're thinking about :p hehe)

We're talking bout the size of EVERYthing. every inch.From head to toe that is.

It does matter doens't it? each inch?

Hm... YEa. IT. IS. I believe.

And so would majorities of people would think.

Don't deny it. Everytime girls gather round, if it's not gossiping or shopping, this issue will emerge, don't ask me why. There's always been the urge. You boys would certainly have been in a situation where you goes like,"Why are you girls talking bout that all the time?!". Don't be a hypocrit, I know you guys are in fact equally concern bout your sizes as well, don't you? Hehe.

Some people, well, in fact most women are not satisfied with their current weight and, there must be something about their body that they're not comfortable with. Myself is very much cautious of my weight. I'm not genetically skinny. Being fat, is in the gene. my every auntie goes *sorry for the pick-o-word* 'swollen' after they delivered their first baby. My weight has been increasing steadily over the years. one kilo for each year. I wonder what would happen later on. ~_~.

But anyway, I'm happy with my current weight. Had been trying to put off some..but never made it. well if it HAD had succeed one day--yes, it had, once or twice--,It was because I was hardly sleeping for 3 days, or,was ill, or, was having diarhea for sometimes. Of course, then, I'd shriek happily , "Iyeeii!!"...and would immediately go jogging to Sabuga, to burn some more and always, I'd be flaked out-of-breathe only after 3 laps jogging. Urgh. And go eat afterwards. Hh...Hehe. So I'll stay tune. I HAVE to be happy.

Heh? It's not the issue, though.

I hate mannequins. beauty magazines. ads. anything goes with 'diet' : diet-tea, diet pills, low-fat-sugar, in coffees, in waffers, in biscuits, fashionTV.Their ads. tsk. They surely promote low self esteem! Despite the default BMI calculation that your weight should equal to your height minus (100 + 10% your height), due to constant exposure to things stated above, girls nowadays would dream for another 5 to 10 or moreover for those walking on the catwalk, might dream for even 30 kilos lower(!) than suggested. I wonder how it sounds, having 30 kilos below you're supposedly fit. I bet It'd go "click clack cluck" everytime you move! Not to mention all the risks : Bulimic, anorexic, Myelin shrunken by aspartam, Impotency, and of course, all the favour you tounge would miss for not eating G-O-O-D Meals, and they have to pay more for those diet packs!!, twicefold the grieve! Beauty if no doubt, painful. But is it that worth it? What's your aim exactly? If it's not for mere health and being fit, what else? for the sake of what people 'see' of what's ideal? Hard. H a r d .

Undeniably, people perception on the 'ideal' --if there's such thing as ideal- size has shifted time to time. Imagine Maria Antoinette, or any Greek sculptures. They'd have a figure of a 'nowdays' fat lady. It represents wealth back then, and no doubt, it's perceived as beautiful--Of course! d-Uh, they're making sculptures outta them!. But now, it's simply not ideal. Why? since when? I also wonder.

Have you tried weight machine that goes say your state of weight after you put in coins? The machine would say OUT LOUD, whether you're 'overweight', 'OK', or 'slim', according to your height and weight. I've tried that once in a hip plaza downtown (saahh..blah!). First humiliation,putting the coin itselves would make "Cling cling" soundFX, crazily LOUD, loud enough to make anyone in 10 meter radius turns their head, thinking "who's on the machine?", and watch. Then you'll be observed and after few pause, there goes the statement. I, in that circumstance would hope have that I'd be called "slim" instead of "OK". Why? I dunno. I guess slim is finer than OK. How come? Is it just me? If it's not, why most dress always looks good in slim people? Is it because the designer's made em based on manequin's figure or catwalk models? Yea. No wonder. It might be, uh, tragically.

Supporting the global concern on body size, Discovery channel had done some research. I'd watched the program long time ago, but here's what I remember. They asked buncha peoples to categorize several portraits into 'not so beautiful' and 'beautiful'. They concluded there are patterns : They specified several attributes such as 1)symmetry. People having each parts of their body symmetrical to the other side, supposedly are more beautiful. It also occurs in vast kinds of bugs, where they prefered mates with symettrical patterns on both sides. 2) Rare. People with figures or colours uncommon to their environment, are regarded more beautiful. That's why 'bule' are adooorred here. and we might as well be if stranded in other coloured region. ihihi..and 3) Other features, such as high cheek bones, narrow lips, pointy nose are also add values. Blah.

Other than that, they'd also observed several people which are regarded 'beautiful' globally. Of course the candidates for the observation goes to celebrities such as Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Cameron Diaz, you name all beauties!, They'd concluded that there are absolute 'beauty' number : its 1.67 Everything goes with 1.67 (One point six seven). Your lower arm should be 1.67 than your upper arms. Toe to waist should be 1.67 longer than waist to head. Your head diameter should be 1.67 to your neck. etc etc etc...Amazingly They've got the map for all the measurement. See? Beauty and Ideal size is now very much defined. It's that complex.

What boys are thinking might be different to what girls. Each sexes perception on the ideal size is different from what the other gender would perceive on their 'ideal' size. While girls would be happier being more skinny, bulging bones, boys would go to 'more curvy' hawhah...In fact, I believe boys--underconsciously--prefer big hips and boobs, because you guys are searching for ideal 'mother', promoting bodies for delivery and breastfeeding. Mere hypotetical, though.

One thing, belly dancing is not as fun without the flabs. *grin*. I really think so, don't you think so?

I can't deny I'm obsessed with my size. But I louuurrve eating, and I have big frames, so diet wouldn't lead me anywhere lighter. I suppose, 'being in ideal size' is, erhm..no flabs, slightly toned, being able to run 10 laps in a row, and not getting exhausted for the whole day, looking always good in dress rooms, not having to cut off extra length on a pair of new trousers (except for Guess' jeans, they're excruciatingly high heeled!!), having your dream shoes ALWAYS available in your size, no flaaanggee.., no cottage cheeseee..., no choclate crave....no...Oh, stop it. you're losing it Brit.

*sigh*
