Bubba’s Other World

I hardly had my phone on while I’m at school cos I hardly get calls. Today, I turned it on and talked to bro for a while. Then, the phone rang.. I was expecting it to be a job…Unfortunately, it was a classmate from jazz class.

I’ve been extremely busy since I went back to school. what else? Dunno lah.

Yeah yeah the sneezings, coughing, stuffy nose, and watery nose are really annoying. I really wish I had the flu. This allergy will last for several months,maybe until the summer.Ughhh. can’t sleep can’t sleep…….

I did try the lemon and honey,which used to work for allergy remedy.But not this time! This time I kept sneezing and blowing my nose.My big nose is swollen now. What shall one do when this thing happens? what what?

Mery and I had appointment today at 11am. We went to the temple, as usual. Then, we had lunch at Sam Wo. Mery had dried mixed chicken noodle, and I had chicken noodle soup. Actually, Mery’s meal was the one I wanted to order but I forgot the name. Both meals are pretty much the same, besides one is a noodle soup and the other one had seperate broth. We also order 2 chinese doughnuts. Delicious! Too bad the chinese doughnuts were cold (I’m not a fan of cold food ) The foods were cheap…..my chicken noodle soup only cost me $3.75 and the CD price was only $1. Cheap,huh? Considering the high price for everything these days.

After lunch, we went to get medicated oil for Mery and a bottle of pure honey for me. Then, we took a bus to Clement. We spent some time at my favorite grocery store,Mey Wah.

I’ve been keeping in touch with more and more of my high school friends lately. One of them asked me to create a facebook account for him.Then, he asked me another favor to upload his picture on fb because of the slow connection in Indo and also because he’s so “gaptek.” Then, there I was uploading photos on his FB using Indonesian. It was weird to read instructions, which I usually read in English, in Indonesian. I felt like a lost child….I’m just not used to using email or facebook in Indo.

Then, a guy from his friend list msg his facebook. I replied telling him that I wasn’t H (*the name of my friend*), that I was helping H to upload his photos on fb. Then, the conversation began.

him: may I know ur name?
me: I’m Lidya. I used to go to the same High School as H.
him: hmm. are you (sorry) L’s ex?
me: yeah! how did u know?
him: yeah everybody was talking about your relationship with him.
me: hmm ok. I didn’t know!

Then the conversation continued with me asking what he was doing still up.

I was surprised when I found out that people did know me, even the people I never expected eventually recognize who I was. I guess I was famous,too.  I think it was because I dated guys who were liked by many girls. However, I didn’t know that people in my hometown used to care THAT much. Well, my hometown is small and people over there are so KEPO, but still.Hm, too bad people knew me because of the guy I was dating, not because I was diligent-good girl. *hoek hoek want to puke now*

Oh well.

I was surprised because I used to think that I was very very invisible. I looked like a nerd back then, not good looking, and not popular.

I baked garlic chicken with lemon and margarine this afternoon. The result was quite good. Bro said that the inside need more seasoning. Yeah, I wish I had 1 day to marinate the chicken…The chicken tasted so yummy……Anyone wants the recipe, feel free to ask me.

Sorry for the slow updates. I didn’t feel like blogging recently.A little bit update……

1. The spring break is coming soon. MY spring break starting on March 20th to April 2nd. How great is that? It’s an almost two-weeks break. Can’t wait can’t wait.
2. My midterm is almost done. This coming Thursday will be my last day of midterm. I hated the last midterm because the professor gives 2 midterms.
3. My cousins are coming from Sydney in the middle April. On their way here, they will be  stopping in Japan for two weeks.
4. I’m still unemployed Gotta use my time to look for a job extensively during the break.
5. My spring break is not gonna be a complete break because I have 2 research papers and 1 typography poster due right after the break.
6. I was planning to go to LA for 3 days, but I canceled it because I’m so broke right now. (actually I want to go to Seattle, but it’s more expensive to go there)
7. as the result of my canceled plan, I was planning to take a whole day trip to Monterey. It costs less. hahaha.
8. I’m surprised how fast the time passing by. It’s already the mid of March….soon I will have a long summer break. I’m not thinking to take classes this summer…. I thought to take it easy for a while.
9. I’ve become obsessed with a Twilight actor, Rob Pattinson. Arghhhh he’s so cute. I like his eyes. Please read the Twilight Saga; it is a lot better than the movie.

Okay that’s it for now.

Ciao
