just finished uploading new pictures from st. louis botanical garden. mbak susi and mas heru visited us here from carbondale the other day and they wanted to check out the botanical garden..tapi sayang sih nyampe nya pas udah mau tutup, jadi nggak sempet buat klilingin semuanya..abisnya gede bener..*ada english garden, chinese, german, etc* but i had fun feeding off the kois in its beautiful japanese garden and i also had fun identifying the familiar plants in the climatron, jadi kaya tropical rainforest buatan gitu..jadi temperature nya di sesuain sama temperature di daerah tropical..tanahnya juga kali yah?....lucu aja jadinya ngeliat pohon2 yg banyak di jkt dan nggak pernah kita liat disini..kaya pohon pisang, pohon kelapa, palem botol, daun mangkok..hihi..yang ini dulu di rumah gue banyak..waktu kecil suka gue pake buat maen masak masakan. Ada juga pohon bambu, trus ada suplir....wahh jadi inget nyokap deh, dulu sayang banget sama suplirnya..gue kalo ngelewatin nyentuh/nyenggol dikit aja di marahin, trus ada bunga lilin yang warna kuning, kuping gajah..hmm..apa lagi yah..banyak lagi sih yang lain yang familiar tapi nggak tau namanya.
the case is getting interesting....there's more and more shady stories coming out about the girl..apparently she's known as an nba groupie...and she was overdosed on pills last month gara2 stress cowonya abis selingkuh ..so that explains a little bit about her state of mind....dan temennya ada yang bilang kalo dia ngelakuin itu cause she was desperate for his ex boyfriend's attention. A few of her friends were interviewed on tv..and let's just say they have the "hoes" written all over their faces. Trus a few of her high school friends were driving around town with FREE KOBE sign on the car....so she's far from the angel image that her supporters trying to portray...besides..who gets sexually assaulted then goes on a vacation?..oh...and i finally got her name and pictures...the pictures are supposedly accurate.....you can go to the link below to see

"I am innocent of the charges filed today. I did not assault the woman who is accusing me. I made the mistake of adultery. I have to answer to my wife and my God for my actions that night and I pray that both will forgive me. Nothing that happened June 30th was against the will of the woman who now falsely accuses me.
These false allegations have hurt my family. I will fight against these allegations with all my strength.My wife is the strongest person I know. She is willing to stand by me despite my mistake. That means everything to me. I have so much to live for. And by that I do not mean the contracts, or the money, or the fame. I mean my family. I will fight for them. I appreciate all those who have supported me. Thank you for believing in me. My family and I are going to need your support and prayers now more than ever."
man..this makes my heart sink...=((..so he did something that night night that no married man was supposed to be doing.....huhu...i'm totally dissapointed..where is your integrity kobe??..and how come you committed such a stupid act..this is simply the height of stupidity...you have a life beyond anyone's wildest dream..and just throw it all away over a piece of ass, humiliating yourself and your family, and hurting them for some unknown 19 year old that you just met in less than an hour??...hope the sex was worth it Kobe..hope it was the best piece of ass you have ever tasted in your life!!
so now..i guess i will look on kobe with less respect...but still..we have to give him credits for admitting that in public..and i still believe that it was only an immoral act and that he is still innocent of the criminal act, the damn girl went to his room after she's done with her shift in the middle of the night...i'm sure she knew that kobe was up for something..do you think she thought she was only going to drink tea with kobe and chat about the upcoming season??..please.....i'm so curious about the girl..i wanna know her name and see her picture...the people in her town describe her as an honest, friendly, overall good girl. .but i don't buy that at all..ya jelas lah temen2nya masa nggak ngebelain dia. That girl is some celebrity wannabe..she had auditioned for American Idol last year......
we'll see what happen next..hopefully *crossing finger* kobe will be found innocent....i still have faith in him though ....but it's gonna be tough for him, he's dealing with a white girl in a small white town where the whole town knows about her and where the authorities and the jury knows her in person........i wish you all the best of luck kobe...
...because we are running out of heroes...=)
Today is a big day for my lil brother…soalnya hari ini dia di sunat…..akhirnya mau juga dia di sunat ..soalnya dari dulu udah di suruh2 tapi nggak pernah mau. Nah belakangan ini dia sering di ajak sama nyokap gue ke acara makan2 sunatan anak2 temennya gitu, kan lagi liburan sekolah nih, jadi banyak lah yang di sunat. Nah trus ade gue baru tau kalo orang di sunat itu suka di kasih angpau kan sama tamunya…baru deh dia akhirnya mau juga untuk di sunat..soalnya dia pingin banget beli handphone!!..huehehe..emang dari dulu udah minta beliin hp, tapi nggak di beliin lah sama nyokap gue, abis anak kelas 3 sd gitu..nggak penting banget deh pake2 hp..tapi akhirnya nyokap gue bilang mau beliin kalo dia mau di sunat…ya pake uang angpau itu nanti kalo kurang di tambahin..hahaha. Ada2 aja deh ade gue…barusan gue tanya..”Gimana..sakit nggak?”..”Lumayaaaan” katanya sambil meringis gitu..huehe….!! Dia rela juga kesakitan demi sebuah Nokia 6610….well at least now he knows that luxury has to be earned..and it comes with a price…and in his case…with an injection in his lil thing, a removal of his foreskin and a stitch in that area…*ouch* not to mention some swelling afterwards and one week healing time…huhuhu..hang in there lil boy…
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers,
wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families,
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense,
more knowledge, but less judgment,
more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly,
laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry
stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little,
watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life.
We've added years to life not life to years.
We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
We conquered outer space but not inner space.
We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
We write more, but learn less.
We plan more, but accomplish less.
We've learned to rush, but not to wait.
We build more computers to hold more information, to
produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion,
big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.
These are the days of two incomes but more divorce,
fancier houses, but broken homes.
These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies,
and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet to kill.
It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom.
Remember, spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, "I love you" to your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace
will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak, and give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
kobe bryant is accused on sexual assault..hmmm that doesn't sound like him at all..*hihi..kaya kenal aja han?..:P*..well.. from what i've observed about him throughout his careers, the way he goes about his business and the way he conducts his life..this just makes me stunned...cause it's completely out of his characters....
..i think he is innocent...abis casenya juga nggak jelas, blom di kasih tau what kind of sexual assault it was, yang pasti it wasn't as serious as rape because they would call it rape instead of sexual assault if it had been a rape..right??..no??.. Trus juga nggak di kasih siapa nama cewe itu..maybe to cover her identity but it's just not fair that she remains unidentified while his name is being dragged every 5 minutes on cnn..and why did he get the arrest warrant only a few days after the incident while prosecutors were still mulling over the evidence anyway?..Biasanya kan case2 gitu take quite a while...beberapa bulan kemudian baru kedengeran..kenapa kesannya ini buru2 banget?..
so far, there isn't a story yet..it's probably just some chick trying to extort bucks from him.....c'mon kobe..please prove it ain't true...
Btw, have you heard the news about the Iranian twins?..they died in separation surgery..it's a heartbraking news...my condolences to the family and the team of doctors who tried their best to make the twins dream to reality..
so..i guess i'll see you around peeps...=)
…I’m being magabuters today cause the manager is not here..hihi. She called me this morning and told me that she’s not gonna be at work today, so she just wanted to remind me to bring my own key, otherwise I won’t be able to get in since we are the only people who use this room….so no one else has the key…and then after I hung up the phone, I just realized that I don’t have the key with me. It’s in the other key chain that dendre took with him to work…oh noo. I knew when he grabbed that key chain this morning I felt like maybe he should grab the other one instead, nggak ngerti kenapa ada pikiran gitu aja..not because I realized that it’s got my office key in it…cuma nggak tau kenapa berpikiran gitu aja, tapi abis itu langsung mikir..”ah sama aja kok kunci yg mana aja juga”. ..huahh…jadilah tadi pagi sebelom kerja I drove all the way to downtown to his office first to pick up the damn key, so it took me almost an hour to get to work this morning yang padahal biasanya cuma 10 menit aja. Huhu..should have listened to my so called inner voice.
happy birthday dendreku....Happy 24..=)..*i am two weeks older than him..and it just so happens that his mom is also two weeks older than his dad....interesting heh?*. happy birthday juga buat mbak nanda *his sister...they share the same birthday*..so many birthday these days...=)
goodbye to vanda who has left the states yesterday, she was on her way to the airport when i called her ......i'm sure a lot of wonderful opportunity will come your way once you step your foot in J town van...=)
and now..the only girlfriend i have in here is leaving me...*sobs*.....bye bye dina....hope i can visit you soon...=)
finallyyy....the ups guy delivered the package yesterday..and i'm cruising at a maximum speed once again..hehe..*syeneeng*..apalagi di tambah the fact that we don't have to pay the full monthly fee for this since dendre works there..he gets employee discount if he uses their products such as the dsl, the home phone *southwestern bell* and thecell phone..*cingular*...lumayan banget kan...cause that means more money to be spent..saved!!..
