About Me
92% Complete Bio
I played all sports as a kid morning noon and night. Baseball in the morning... go home for lunch.... 2nd game of double header after lunch... If no one was around I pitched and fielded againts my dads garage door. He got mad a few time because I broke a few pieces ( not to mention windows when I was wild). I played basketball all winter on the hoop I had on the same garage. I would actually go and shovel the driveway when it was snow covered so I could dribble but then my dad expected me to shovel the rest of the sidewalks. Packer fan all my life. Watched the 60's teams dominate the NFL. Just a boy growing up in the 60's. My shoulder may be bad but I don't have carpal tunnel from playing video games all day like they do now.

13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 3:13-14
13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. -Philippians 3:13-14
A lot of times as Christians, or even just as human beings, we fail. A LOT. And those failures and the disappointments that come after run our life. We believe that these things are so overbearing that God would be disappointed in us also. It's not true! Nope nope nope! Jesus loves you soooosososososo much that He doesn't take account of our sins or take record of our failures and that should be enough for us to let go. Let go of the things that are holding you back from what you can do. Let go of the things that are binding you to your failures. Because there is a greater grace and prize waiting for us. The calling of Jesus Christ in our lives is greater than all of that and it is unconditional, regardless of who we are and what we've done.
Look to the future, don't dwell on the past! You have the best thing for the rest of your LIFE ahead of you as a present from God. To be able to call His name anad to enter through the gates of Heaven with His blessings! So whether it's school, tests, homework, friends, relationships, money issues, etcetc, let go and let God.
Yours, O LORD, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the majesty and the splendor, for everything in heaven and earth is yours. Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom; you are exalted as head over all. ~ 1 Chronicles 29:11
WHATSUP! it's gloria (:
I hope you guys are doing good with God, family, friends and school! I'm still going through these rocky mountains with junior year but i'm trying my best. But because I've been pretty busy lately, my relationship with God hasn't been so sincere and intimate. So I despise the fact that I've been so far away from Him because I miss being so in love with God and having my daily QT's .
And there was a day in October that I was so burnt out I didn't even want to come to church or have anything to do with Christ in my life. Like I was so done. My mentality started to get messed up and I started to go after the worldly things.
But then something inside me dragged me back to when I first tasted God's love and I began to bawl because I felt so broken without God in my life. I realized that once you know that you're a genuine kid of God, you're always going to be His kid no matter what. "…For everything in heaven and earth is yours.."— Yeah all of us are God's creation and He loves us a lot and I've come to realize that by this verse because it gave me a slap in the face too.
Hope ya'll have a great week! Jesus loves you mucho grande! Signing out, Gloria.
p.s.- this post is ehhh i know, but i just wanted to share something that I came across last night before i went to sleep. Next week will be much much better. I promise! <3

For much of the game yesterday, the Falcons bruised, battered and manhandled the Dolphins along the line of scrimmage, and there was the sense that this Dolphins game would end like so many others we've witnessed in the last decade or so: with a loud, wet fart heard for miles around as fans exited ...

The Dolphins are now 2-0 for only the second time in a decade, and optimism about the team is all over the place. RYAN TANNEHILL WAS BORN FROM THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST!

On the final drive of Sunday's victory over the Andrew Luck-led Colts, there was that creeping feeling the NFL's newest comeback kid would do the thing Dolphins fans are so used to seeing: snatch victory from the jaws of defeat by putting a big ol' dunce hat on the Dolphins and all their silly aspir ...

Last week, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross gave his vote of confidence to head coach Tony Sparano. The consensus has been that Sparano would keep his job, despite the team's second consecutive losing season. Mainly because the players love and respect him.

ESPN is reporting that Miami Dolphins football czar Bill Parcells has packed his bags and moved out of the Dolphins offices. The Dolphins, of course, knew that Parcells was on his way out.

Bill Parcells confirmed with the New York Daily News last week that he is, in fact, willing to trade out of the first overall pick.

My book review of The Middlesteins by Jami Attenberg, £11.99.
Published in The Times Literary Supplement, April 2013.
"Steaming, plush pork buns", "bright green pickles bursting with vinegar and salt", "cherry pastries covered with half-melted squiggles of frosting" are just a selection of the feasts that Edie Middlestein – Jami Attenberg's central character – eats her way through during the course of The Middlesteins. It is a good idea not to read Attenberg's third novel when you are hungry. Fifty-nine-year-old Edie is morbidly obese. Her eating habits are killing her, but she will not stop and, frustratingly for her family, nor will she be helped. Just before a second stent surgery in her leg and with Edie facing a heart bypass operation, her husband Richard leaves her after thirty years of marriage.
The novel looks at how the family reacts to the ensuing crisis. A series of portraits emerge as depicted by Edie and several other characters connected through blood, marriage or community to this suburban Jewish family in Chicago. Chapters neatly alternate between the characters' perspectives to build an engaging picture of these individuals' lives. Multi-perspective narrative is familiar territory for Attenberg, whose debut story collection, Instant Love (2006), adopted the viewpoints of three main characters, along with their friends and lovers.
Each character in The Middlesteins is vividly complex, their foibles both endearing and repulsive. Edie, an ex-lawyer, is admirably forthright ("we had all feared Edie at one time or another. The woman knew how to make a point"), and, despite being "six feet tall, and shaped like a massive egg", she can seem attractive. But her compulsive over-eating is the basis of the "sickening mixture of heartbreak and mortality" in the family, and she is often arrogant and careless.
Attenberg's nimble tragicomedy breathes new life into the well-worn subject of obesity in America. Her humour rescues the novel from sentimentality, such as in Richard's comically calamitous internet dating that leads him to a despairing moment with a "half hooker", or the description of "morbidly curious" Rachelle, who stalks her mother-in-law as she visits three different restaurants in the space of half an hour. Rachelle almost admiringly watches Edie toss takeaway wrappers out of her car window into bins (with "perfect aim"); but her "pure sadness" quickly takes over. Rachelle's facial transition – "her lips downturned gently, her mouth given in to the grief" – is later echoed when her son inappropriately turns a plate of biscuits into the shape of a smiley face at a funeral.
Attenberg does give most of her characters a limited sense of resolution, despite the tragedy they must confront. She has created a familiar domestic drama about disappointment, pain, loneliness and mortality – even if the novel's emotional impact is limited.
Vivienne Westwood 1, Photograph: Juergen Teller, 2012.
It's not often that you are confronted with a fully naked 71-year-old punk. Walking into Juergen Teller's recent exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Arts, three bigger-than-life-size photographs of an unclothed Vivienne Westwood dominate the atrium space. Her brazen red hair and porcelain body, draped over a satin-quilted sofa, are strikingly beautiful and defiant. If you look closely, you can spot indented lines like river tributaries that wrap around her skin – there's no sign of Photoshop touching up, smoothing out, slimming down. Westwood's barefaced portraits embrace being and looking old. But the word "old" is out of place when applied to her. I don't think of her as old; I don't think of her designs or attitudes as outdated. Westwood has done the remarkable feat of bypassing old age; she lives like she's still in her twenties. I wish I could have even just half the amount of energy and guts as her when I hit seventy.
On an adjacent wall in the ICA main gallery hangs Teller's photograph of Kurt Cobain playing a guitar. Being in black and white, it's as though Teller preserves Cobain in that moment – the photograph contrasts to the immediate, vibrant colours of Westwood's portraits. Cobain's premature death in 1994 means he forever remains the same; frozen at the age of 27. Following his death, the first idea of the "27 Club" (a list of popular musicians who died aged 27, often due to alcohol and drug abuse) was brought into public awareness. Reams of books and articles have investigated this bizarrely common occurrence. Is it a curse, coincidence or phenomenon that more rock stars have died at 27 than at any other age? Amy Winehouse is one of the latest musicians to join the list, which also includes Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Mia Zapata and Richey Edwards to name but a handful. Three years before her death, Winehouse told the press how scared she was of joining the 27 Club. Yet to be so aware of the Club almost defeats the coincidental nature of it. I'm not saying Winehouse deliberately induced death at 27 in order to heighten this rock and roll myth, but neither am I ruling out that the hype around the Club's existence may create harmful superstition.
To live fast and die young has always had a glamorous appeal. In a way, the American President Abraham Lincoln spoke of a similar concept: "in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it is the life in your years". But with some great artists dying before they are 30, it often leaves us wondering about what unfulfilled potential has been wasted and which masterpieces may have been lost. Especially when compared to the decades of productive careers given to us by musicians who continue to be old age rockers, like Keith Richards, Mick Jagger and the remaining Rolling Stones, Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith and members of The Who.
One of The Who's most recognisable songs, "My Generation", contains the lyric "hope I die before I get old" and yet they are still performing in their late sixties. Their "generation" hasn't passed and they remain a backbone of British rock music. In a TV interview for Good Morning America in 1989, guitarist Pete Townshend, in a dapper grey suit and tie, spoke about the famous line from "My Generation". For him, when he wrote the lyrics, the word "old" meant "someone who had achieved everything and looked at anybody that was climbing up the ladder with an eye to kicking them off. So I guess we're old now". The interview was to celebrate their 25th anniversary tour, so if at that point they considered themselves old, then perhaps being old isn't such a negative.
Published in FKR magazine, March 2013. FKR is a zine that I have co-created and co-edited.
Julius Caesar, Donmar Warehouse (30 November 2012 - 9 February 2013).
When I heard that Phyllida Lloyd had set her production of Julius Caesar in a women's prison with an all-female cast I anticipated a refreshing and surprisingly fitting interpretation of Shakespeare's timeless political drama. I imagined a subtle hierarchy among power-hungry female inmates, or even rebellious female prisoners set against the law of the guards. I imagined something that would revitalise the contemporary pertinence of the play.
Unfortunately Lloyd's jail merely provided a visual backdrop and costumes, not a relevant backstory. The fascinating set design was stark, grey, cold, monotonous, and one of the better aspects of this production. Bright white strip-lights circled both the seating and the stage to immerse the audience in the prison scene. The Donmar's usual plush red benches were replaced with grey plastic chairs, the sort found in schools or, as shown on the stage, in prisons. Lloyd's choice to create a play-within-a-play adopts one of Shakespeare's beloved illusory techniques, however here it was a clumsy addition. The inmates file in to present their edited drama-workshop production of Julius Caesar, interspersed with eruptions of rock guitar. A couple of smart moments signalled the layers that linked the prison with ancient Rome, such as the bullied poet Cinna reading out her part from an Oxford World Classics edition of Julius Caesar, and more effectively, a mentally disturbed inmate (acted by Carrie Rock) playing the part of the branded 'mad' soothsayer. The latter character demonstrated a seamless parallel between modern-day prison and ancient Rome (although the mentally disturbed inmate was a caricature of madness). Mostly appearing in quick succession towards the end of the production, these connections between prison and Rome provided humour but more importantly depth, which highlighted exactly what had been missing from most of Lloyd's production.
The play-text, cut to fit a two hour running time, was almost unrecognisable because the characters and plot were unbalanced from Shakespeare's originals. Suddenly Cassius (acted by a passionate Jenny Jules) had a larger part than a timidly played Brutus, Mark Anthony barely existed, and Julius Caesar (played as a megalomania psychopath by Frances Barber) was an unlikeable bully from the outset rather than commencing as a popular leader. Shakespeare's play-text creates instances of sympathy for both sides in order to complicate the audience's understanding of the narrative: Julius Caesar is a usurped, unvoiced victim as well as a cold, ambitious leader (though Shakespeare cleverly provides this latter opinion of Caesar through the speeches of the conspirators); and Brutus' behaviour inevitably corrupts his altruistic intention. However, Lloyd's production failed to evoke any empathy for Shakespeare's tragedy or for her created inmates. So much so that at the very end when the inmate who played Brutus was distressed at returning to her cell, I felt little sympathy for her character.
Generalised emotional outpourings and rushed, confused battle scenes over-rode the words of the play - a detrimental approach when Julius Caesar, and politics, rely on the power of language. Many of the actors demonstrated dynamic performances (notably Clare Dunne as a pregnant inmate who plays both Portia and Octavius Caesar) and an all-female cast is an interesting comment on female power struggles, but the production's showy dramatics took precedence over substance.

After dueling and weakening to fourth in the March 9 San Felipe, Goldencents was overlooked entering Saturday's Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby. But that proved to be a mistake as the three-year-old colt displayed the willingness to relax during the early stages, made his move to the lead entering the stretch drive and comfortably held the favored Flashback safe to the wire.
For the first time in his brief career, Verrazano had to work to grind out a victory, but the 4-5 favorite found plenty to remain perfect in Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Wood Memorial at Aqueduct. The Todd Pletcher pupil turned back a bid from the hitherto unbeaten Vyjack, then held off the late-running Normandy Invasion, and will now bring a four-for-four mark into the Kentucky Derby.
Jockey John Velazquez will now have a decision to make, for he is also the regular rider of Florida Derby hero Orb.
Dynamic Sky, runner-up to Falling Sky in the Sam F. Davis and most recently fourth behind Verrazano in the Tampa Bay Derby, breezed five furlongs at Churchill Downs on Saturday in 1:01 2/5 in advance of next Saturday's Grade 1 Blue Grass at Keeneland.
Palm Beach winner Rydilluc completed his major preparation for next Saturday's Grade 1 Blue Grass by working seven furlongs in 1:28 3/5 on a cool, clear morning at Keeneland. Click here for work video.
With jockey Edgar Prado up, Rydilluc worked on his own and recorded fractions of :12 4/5, :25 4/5, :38 3/5, :51, 1:03 1/5 and 1:15 3/5. He galloped out a mile in 1:43 2/5.
Dynamic Sky, runner-up to Falling Sky in the Sam F. Davis (Grade III) and most recently fourth behind Verrazano in the Tampa Bay Derby (GII), breezed five furlongs at Churchill Downs on Saturday in 1:01.40 in prep for the Toyota Blue Grass (GI) at Keeneland on April 13.
Churchill Downs Racetrack ("CDRT"), working with the Louisville Metro Police Department ("LMPD") and other law enforcement and public safety partners, has developed a new plan for taxi cab and bus drop-off and pick-up of Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks Day patrons designed to create a more convenient and efficient environment for fans traveling to-and-from the track via those means of transportation on its biggest days.
Chris Carrino and Tim Capstraw are best known as the radio broadcast team of the Brooklyn Nets, but their names could become part of Grade 1 Wood Memorial history if their namesake, Chrisandthecapper, were to upset New York's top prep race for the Kentucky Derby.
Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Wood Memorial at Aqueduct Racetrack will be Chrisandthecapper's first start against winners off an 11 1/2-length maiden victory in a sprint at the Big A on March 9.
Hear the Ghost has been knocked off the Triple Crown trail by a knee injury, co-owner Ted Aroney told HRTV Thursday afternoon. The winner of the Grade 2 San Felipe in his latest, the Jerry Hollendorfer pupil would have been a top contender in Saturday's Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby.
Aroney, who races Hear the Ghost in partnership with Hall of Famer Hollendorfer, said that the promising sophomore was "off" in his training Thursday morning.
The "Road to the Kentucky Derby Presented by TwinSpires.com" continues Saturday with the 89th running of the $1 million Wood Memorial (Grade I) and the 76th running of the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby (GI).
As part of the Second Leg of the Championship Series, the Top 4 finishers in the Wood Memorial at Aqueduct and Santa Anita Derby at Santa Anita Park will be awarded points on a scale of 100 for first, 40 for second, 20 for third and 10 for fourth.
There are no sure things in racing, but this much is known: Storm Fighter will be a long shot Saturday when he starts in the $750,000 Santa Anita Derby in Arcadia, Calif.
Orb and Revolutionary were the big winners last weekend, taking the Florida Derby and Louisiana Derby, respectively, but neither was overly impressive: Orb completed the 1 1/8-mile distance two seconds slower than the filly Dreaming of Julia earlier on the program and Revolutionary got away tardily and didn't have his mind on business the entire way.
A contentious field of nine has been assembled to go nine furlongs in Saturday's Grade 1, $750,000 Santa Anita Derby, the West Coast's major prep for the May 4 Kentucky Derby. Whoever wins the race is guaranteed a spot in the starting gate under the Twin Spires via the 100 points awarded in the new Road to the Kentucky Derby points system.
In the unscientific polls that were the three Kentucky Derby Future Wagers, horseplayers across the country expressed the belief that Verrazano was the single individual wagering interest most likely to be draped with roses on the first Saturday in May. A confirmation of that opinion is four weeks away, but the lightly-raced colt can build on an already growing bandwagon of support with a victory in Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Wood Memorial.
Mylute, who finished a neck behind Revolutionary in the Louisiana Derby (Grade II) after a thrilling stretch battle, passed through the Churchill Downs stable gate at 3:30 a.m. (all times Eastern) Tuesday morning after vanning from Fair Grounds and was bedded down in Stall 20 of Barn 29 for trainer Tom Amoss.
Juvenile colt champion Shanghai Bobby will be given some time off following his fifth-place finish in Saturday's Grade 1 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park and is no longer in consideration for the Kentucky Derby.
From a physical standpoint, Shanghai Bobby appears to have come out of the Florida Derby in good shape. However, according to trainer Todd Pletcher, his energy level is not where he'd like for it to be.
A full gate of 14 three-year-olds likely will be the order of the day for the 89th running of the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes, the centerpiece of Keeneland's 16-day spring meet, to be run April 13.
With 170 points available in the Kentucky Derby Championship Series with 100 points going to the winner, the Blue Grass represents one of the final major steps toward the starting gate for the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby on May 4. Second place is worth 40 points, with 20 for third and 10 for fourth.
Flashback will be the favorite on Jon White's Santa Anita Derby morning line when those odds are issued following Wednesday's draw for post positions.
"As soon as Hear the Ghost won the San Felipe, I immediately started to think about the morning line for the Santa Anita Derby," White said. "And my initial thought was, 'Well, it looks like Hear the Ghost is probably going to be the Santa Anita Derby favorite.'
Power Broker, one of three likely starters for Bob Baffert in Saturday's Grade 1 Santa Anita Derby, worked four furlongs in company Sunday morning in :47 2/5 for the West Coast's major stepping stone to the Kentucky Derby on May 4.
Martin Garcia was aboard the Pulpit colt, who tied for the fourth-fastest work at the distance on Santa Anita's fast main track. Workmate Bank the Eight was clocked in :47 4/5.
Undefeated Verrazano worked five furlongs in 1:01.17 Sunday morning over the fast dirt at Palm Meadows Training Center in Florida, completing his major preparations for an expected start in Saturday's Grade 1, $1 million Wood Memorial at Aqueduct.
Shug McGaughey made the trip to Payson Park Sunday morning to check on Orb, who was rather bright for a late-developing colt who had just outrun nine rivals to win the Grade 1 Florida Derby at Gulfstream Park late Saturday afternoon.
"I'm kind of surprised how well he bounced out of his race, to tell you the truth," McGaughey said.

I don't know about all that, but I know I like girls on bikes standing in front of murals.
An ongoing public installation project.
Working with volunteer models, bikes (INSA's current preferred icon of commodified culture), and large scale painted walls INSA creates momentary installations in public spaces.
In this set of photographic works INSA orchestrates a conflicting dialogue between all the elements and explicitly subordinates the value of his own street art to both the possessed object of the bike and the overtly sexualized female presence. Thus questioning our individual perceptions of ownership of public space, of sexuality and of belonging(s).
What I'm questioning is whether this artist actually thinks he's doing anything but finding an excuse to objectify women...

Sunday & Sunflowers.Posted: June 17, 2013 Filed under: Life, Photoworks, Posts in English | Tags: art, ballerina, dance, photo, photo service, photography, photoworks, prewedding, sunday & sunflowers, wedding 2 Comments
Hi, busy-bees! I know I haven't been writing here as frequently as I intended to. To be honest, there are still some posts lining up at the back of my mind, including some from my recent trips to India, Flores, and Yogyakarta. However, there's an exciting news that I'd like to share with you. Last month, together with my lovely girl Nadia, I launched Sunday & Sunflowers.
Capturing moments has always been a dream of Nadia and me: either through pictures, movies, poetic scripts, writings, or music. Sunday & Sunflowers does exactly that. We were happy and excited to work together with some amazing clients; both individual and corporate clients, even before our official launch took place!
The stories on how we ended up doing this can be read here, but today, I am going to share "The Ballerina"–the latest photo shoot that we've done for Fany Nasution, a talented dancer. I think the shots and the script from "The Ballerina" perfectly describes how Nadia and I had decided to follow our dreams and be where we are right now.
Listen to the tunes of your heart–no matter how faint they are, and follow the path that lights up your each and every step with joy and gratitude. Move with the flow of life instead of going against it. Be at a certain moment of silence and feel the world shines through you. Absorb that feeling of having the brightest star inside, as for one to be a star, one must have the courage to shine. [Photo + make-up by Sunday/Nadia and script by Sunflowers/Hanny]
On The Road.Posted: May 23, 2013 Filed under: Pakistan, Posts in English, Travel | Tags: blog, journey, karachi, pakistan, pergidulu, perjalanan, photography, road, sindh, street, Travel, travel note, traveling, turnamen foto perjalanan 7 Comments
My dear friends, Adam and Susan (an awesome traveling-couple from an awesome travel blog PergiDulu.com) were calling for pictures and stories about "roads and streets" from random people's traveling journeys. Indeed, traveling is about 'the road' that you take.
Surprisingly, my mind instantly went to the street-side of Pakistan. After all the news reports I heard about bombings and killings and everything else, I was amazed when a bajaj driver flashed a friendly smile to my camera and made a peace sign with his fingers as I passed him on the street. I was mesmerized to see the bustling city; full of lights and laughter, when a friend of mine took me out to the street for some sweets after midnight. I was touched when a cloth seller in Zainab Market told me how much he loved batik when he found out that I came from Indonesia. I was humbled throughout the journey. It was definitely mind-blowing. And from all the countries I have ever visited, I make the most friends in Pakistan. The friends I am still frequently in touch with until today. I love the country and would love to go back.
The picture above was taken on a street-side in Karachi, Sindh. Adam and Susan, this is my picture for you :)
The Pinecone Trip to Mount Salak, BogorPosted: April 29, 2013 Filed under: Indonesia, Life, Posts in English, Travel | Tags: bogor, forest, gunung salak, journal, mount salak, mountain, photography, tourism, Travel, vila botani, waterfalls, writing 14 Comments
The foot of Mount Salak is only an hour drive away from home, and it provides a wonderful escape from town–or from the now-too-packed Puncak Pass area.
I always find it comforting, to be surrounded by greeneries, enveloped by silence, only to catch the faint sounds of birds, cicadas, and waterfalls. I ran away here one afternoon a few weeks ago with a friend, Martijn. A few slices of yellow watermelons, a pack of grapes, a carton of fruit juice, and Susan Wooldrigde's Poemcrazy book were resting nicely inside my flowery canvas bag. My head was still spinning with the beautiful words from the book. I remembered one line where Wooldridge quoted Gary Snyde: poetry has an interesting function; it helps people be where they are. And suddenly, my world was bursting with pinecones, the smell of the leaves and the wet soil, the shape of the rocks, the changing colors of the sky…
I was sitting on a rock; dipping my toes into the flowing river, while Martijn went underneath the waterfalls. I was thinking about everything that had happened in my life lately: about hellos and farewells, and how curious was it that I kept stumbling upon random people who brought 'messages' for me and answered some questions I have pondered upon for a while through simple conversations.
I once wrote inside my black travel notebook: what if we think of everyone we meet on our journey as a messenger? What if we don't bump into them coincidentally? What if they were sent to tell us something, to deliver a message, a lesson… what difference would it make if we stop, say hello, glance a smile, and make that connection? Don't you think it would make you feel like you are never alone in this world? That every step you make is another chance to learn new life lessons? That everyone of us is, in one and another way, carry 'The Prophet' inside, like that of Gibran's?
Last evening, a girl on Twitter sent me a direct message, and asked, out of the blue, "What should I do when the person I care about decided to disappear?" and I found myself typing away: just pray for them to be alright, and to be happy. Maybe I was talking to myself or hearing myself asking the same question to my other self; this could be more complicated than understanding the flower petals and Fibonacci numbers–but such 'creepy' or amazingly coincidental things happened more often in my life lately (oh well, I never believed in coincidences anyway). When I came to think about it, I guess even our prayers (or wishes) define who we are and how we see the world. If you do believe that prayers have such a vast amount of energy that will resonate to the universe and being echoed back to you, you would want to recite beautiful prayers, wouldn't you?
9 Things I Miss The Most About IndiaPosted: March 6, 2013 Filed under: India, Posts in English, Travel | Tags: agra, beradadisini, delhi, female traveler, gcaffe, geetanjali kaul, hanny, incredible india, india, jaipur, journey, mumbai, photography, qutb minar, Travel, traveler, traveling, traveling solo, travelogue 37 Comments
I fell in love with Indian literature when I first read Jhumpa Lahiri's collection of short stories, Interpreter of Maladies. It was then that I got obsessed with Indian–and South Asian–literature in general. Soon, I found myself immersed in the works of other Indian writers like Thrity Umrigar, Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, Chetan Bhagat, and Raj Kamal Jha, as well as Pakistani writers, including Roopa Farooki, Bina Shah, John Siddique, and Daniyal Mueenuddin. When I landed in India mid-February this year, hitting Mumbai and the golden triangle of Delhi, Agra, and Jaipur, I got swept away by this nostalgic feeling of being at home. Everything seemed distant and foreign, yet comforting and familiar. In one and other way, India reminded me a lot of Pakistan. The two countries captivated me in an instant to the extent that I would gladly think of them as my second home. And these are the 9 things I miss the most about India, not in any particular order:
1. The beautiful buildings and architectures. Especially in Mumbai. I love the feeling of going back in time every time I look at those beautiful structures: palaces, flats, train stations, government offices, forts, temples.
2. The food. In Indonesia, I am not a big fan of Indian food. I never really liked the taste somehow–there's always something that isn't right. But I found myself falling in love with Indian food in India. Wherever I went, from the street-stalls to a fancy restaurant to someone's kitchen, the taste of the food was always perfect. I loved it so much that I had no cravings for junk food at all–despite the fact that I spent 13 days in the country and passed by McDonald's or KFC numerous times.
3. The birds. I don't know why there are so many birds in India. Birds are flying freely above the temples, the street, someone's backyard, and nesting right outside your window. I miss their constant cooing. I miss going to sleep at night with the sound of their flapping wings against the windowsill.
4. The squirrels. And I don't know why there are so many squirrels in India! Just like the birds, they are everywhere: temples, buildings, streets, backyards, random trees, you name it. They are the cutest thing ever. I love them!
5. The bookshops. For someone who spent most of her money on books, India is definitely a paradise for book lovers. Compared to Indonesia, the price of books in India is very cheap. You can get a classic English book for IDR 30,000 only (USD 3)–and bookshops can be found everywhere: from the posh Khan Market area to the bustling street-side of Colaba's night market. I bought so many books in Delhi and ended up sending them back home from Jaipur to avoid excess baggage–because they weighed 10 kilograms.
6. The Qutb complex in Delhi. Qutb Minar is the tallest minaret in India, but the complex housed several other ancient structures from that era; including Quwwat-ul-Islam Mosque–the first mosque to be built in India. It was so serene–the morning when I was there–I could breathe in the glory and the divinity of what it once had been. And the huge garden inside the complex was just breathtaking. I could see myself spending my mornings in this complex, walking around mindlessly or sitting on a bench under a tree, painting, reading a poetry book, or writing on a piece of paper.
7. The city's outdoors. I love it when you're in the middle of the city and you can just walk by to the nearest park or a riverbank or the seaside to sit and chill. And India has loads of spots like that. From Mumbai's Marine Drive to Delhi's public parks, I found it charming to see people from all ages having picnics at the outdoors: couples, friends, families, some blokes… *giggles*
8. The color-burst. Those colorful saris, bangles, buildings, trucks, rickshaws, desserts… India's color palette is extremely rich. No matter where I looked, I was exposed to those amazing colors, like a constant feast for the eyes. Immediately, it brought me back to my childhood days–to the nostalgic feeling of wonder and amusement as I opened up my first box of 32 Crayola crayons.
9. Gee. It was amazing how we got to know each other through this blog. And that we decided to meet up in Delhi. Gee, or Geetanjali Kaul, is definitely the highlight of my India trip. She is also a living proof that arranged marriage can actually work; romantically speaking. Amazing to see how–after 15 years of marriage, she is still madly in love with his husband, Ashish. Maybe wonderful souls did find each other. Gee and I spent an amazing three days together, and she took care of me like we had known each other for years. I miss her. And her best friend, Neeraj. And her mother-in-law (Didi), and her mother-in-law's mother (Nani), and her wonderful kids Anika and Vivan. And her dogs.
I miss India.
One Day, When 'We' Disappeared.Posted: January 3, 2013 Filed under: Love, Posts in English | Tags: cw, loss, memoir, photography, quote, writing Leave a comment
Ours is a bumpy road. Wait. No. Rewind. To be brutally honest, let me put it this way: mine is a bumpy road. Yes. Mine, and mine alone.
Because one day, "we" disappeared in front of a small alley in a small island, the two characters, W and E, being washed out by the drizzle. Suddenly, everything became discolored. Reasons were no longer exist. Things were losing meanings. Words were breaking into pieces. I lost my sense of being. And it was just like that; as simple as something that disappeared in silence one afternoon under the cloudy sky; just like all things temporary. But that's the rule of life as we know it: everything will come to its end. It's just a matter of how, and how long. And maybe, subconsciously, that's what we're doing: we're all just waiting for something to end.
One day, when "we" disappeared, I found myself—and my heart (that had been broken many times but always refused to give up) embracing that familiar pang of sadness: of having to let go. No matter how often you experience such thing, surprisingly, one is never immune to such pain. Of course you know that you'll be fine again—because your experiences have taught you so (been there, done that)—but still, you find it very tiring to begin again. I will definitely find it very tiring to begin again. And maybe, I won't. Not now. Not so soon.
I know we love to begin something new (maybe this is the reason why we celebrate New Year with parties and drinks and fireworks and all things cheerful), but most of the times, we forget the art of loving an ending: to appreciate what we have got and what we have lost, to celebrate the memories and the traces of "us" that once were, to romance the things that stayed with us—that sooner or later will become us.
One day, when "we" disappeared, you told me that in the end, all that we're going to remember is the beautiful things we've experienced, the beautiful places we've seen, the beautiful memories we've shared, the beautiful moments we've seized. I told you that it's true, because one can always find simple happiness in everything—no matter how small; even in an ending.
And so, that one day, when "we" disappeared, I knew that we'd find each other again. When we're ready. When the time is right. And when the time comes, it's going to be just me and you—no such thing as "we"—because in the end, I have left something in you and you have left something in me. And even when "we" disappeared, those things we've left behind with each other would remain to be a part of us. And isn't that such a relief? To know that there is something eternal even in the most temporary things, that there is something precious even in the saddest of endings. And such knowledge, to me, is more than enough.
Happy New Year 2013 and Happy Old 2012!

Old Town of Jakarta (Batavia)Posted: November 24, 2012 Filed under: Indonesia, Posts in English, Travel | Tags: batavia, colonial, indonesia, jakarta, kota tua, old town, photography, Travel, vintage 9 Comments
There are only a few places I like in Jakarta: my office (seriously), the giant bookstores, coffee shops with bookshelves, the stretch of street stalls selling everything vintage in Jalan Surabaya, Seaworld and Planetarium (again, seriously), and… the Old Town area.
I love the Old Town not only because this 1.3 square kilometers area is very picturesque; but also because it reminded me of the pictures I saw in my history books. It gave me those "colonial romanticism" feeling (you know how I love to imagine myself living in a different era; the 1920s fascinates me the most).
A lazy stroll along this area is always a pleasant one. All those old buildings with beautiful architectures, street artists drawing your sketch or silhouette, tattoo stand, fortune-teller… It was unfortunate that several historical sites had been destroyed by the provincial government during the development of Jakarta, including Fortress Batavia, Gate of Amsterdam, and tram lane of Batavia (we had tram lane, once!).
I went to the Old Town again last weekend with my friend, Chris—me with my DSLR camera, running around taking pictures, and Chris with… nothing. "Who is the tourist, actually?" Chris laughed. "Yes, I am playing tourist!" I answered to that and mindlessly snapping some pictures again. Anyway, if you're around this area, pay a visit to Warung Kota Tua. They have the best chicken noodles.

unsent letters. heart-shaped memories, bursting in words. lonely sentences, never leave those torn pages. crumpled secrets, inside a stack of envelopes. silent phrases and faraway wishes at the back of your plane tickets. the farthest distance is one that is not crossed.
And this is the exact reason why you got those letters.
Polaroid Postcards from Kyiv (4)Posted: November 18, 2012 Filed under: Posts in English, Travel, Ukraine | Tags: kyiv, letter, people, photography, polaroid, postcard, Travel, traveling alone, ukraine, writing 7 Comments
Dear ___ ,
Have I told you that this journey is different? I have decided to skip all the touristy spots in Kyiv, and left my camera at the hostel. The idea was just to enjoy Kyiv from a perspective of a local—and to spend more time connecting with people: just hanging around, laughing, talking, eating out. It was fun. It was a great fun.
From Couchsurfing, I met Kyryl and his lovely girlfriend Ieugenia.
They were such a cute couple! I had so much fun taking pictures of them both, because they were so kind and fun and affectionate and down-to-earth. They made jokes out of each other, yet you could clearly see the sparks of love in their eyes as they looked at each other (I was thinking of us when I saw them).
Together with my wonderful interpreter at TechCamp, Inna (right) and her friend Anna (left),
the five of us went for a stroll around Kyiv one lovely afternoon, practicing some Russian phrases along the way; and ended up in a small Sovyet-style diner with loads of magazines and books from the Sovyet era,
attacking a plate of Vereniki (a kind of dumpling that can be filled with mushroom, beef, chicken, etc., served with sour cream)
and drinking Kyiv's local liqeur Hrenovuha—that was made of horseradish (smelled and tasted like one, too, with the after-effect resembling eating too much wasabi).
It was raining that evening, as we got out from the diner. Inna and Anna went back home, and I went with Kyryl and Ieugenia to Ieugenia's apartment. "It's a typical Sovyet apartment," said Ieugenia. "All the apartments look the same, with the same furnitures, cupboards, stoves…"
We talked all night long on Ieugenia's kitchen table, sipping cognac and eating melon; while listening to the government's radio playing on the background. The cold wind was blowing from the open window and it was drizzling outside. It was such a wonderful time.
Earlier that week, at the hostel, I also met Francois—a Canadian who lives in London at the moment,
and Fransisco, a Brazilian who gets fascinated by my name and kept on teasing me when we bumped into each other (Hey, Hanny *wink* Can I call you Hanny? *wink* Hello, Hanny *wink*) and we laughed out loud every time. "Sorry, I can't help myself. I know, lame jokes, but I just love it!" he said.
With the boys and some other Ukrainian friends, we went for a bar-hopping experience in Kyiv one night, and ended up eating chicken soup at a restaurant and spent the rest of the night conversing as we walked back home.
On my last day in Kyiv, I met Natalya Kovalienko as I walked around the artsy stretch of Andriyivzkyy in the morning. Natalya sells arts & crafts in a street stall. She is an artist; a painter—and she painted all of the souvenirs she offers: matryoshka dolls, fridge magnets, hair combs, mirrors, jewelry boxes…
In one of my letters, I told you how I was scared and nervous and anxious when I first traveling alone, because I was such an introverted shy girl, and I doubted myself a lot. I told you that often times, I wasn't sure that I could, that I would make it. "But soon, I started to enjoy the feeling of being on my own: of making connections, of trusting people I have just met, of initiating a conversation with a total stranger," I said.
And this was exactly how I met you. This was how you ended up in my letters and I ended up in yours. I am glad for now I can say that when it comes to us, I have no regret. No matter what awaits us in the future, we know that together, we're awesome, and we're great! See you in a couple of weeks!

Love it!
ainsmom from Edgewood, Wa
I had this installed just over a year ago. I did a lot of research on bamboo flooring and this was a Consumer's Reports best buy. I only found good things about it. The cheaper stuff got bad reviews in terms of fading, scratching and denting. I have dropped many things on this floor and have not dented it once. It looks beautiful and everyone who has seen it has been impressed. My only problem is that since it is dark colored, it shows lint, cat hair etc very easily. A lighter color probably wouldn't. All in all it is a terrific product.

Country superstar George Jones dead at 81
Sunday - 4/28/2013, 3:18pm EDT
AP Entertainment Writers
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- When it comes to country music, George Jones was The Voice.
Other great singers have come and gone, but this fact remained inviolate until Jones passed away Friday at 81 in a Nashville hospital after a year of ill health.
"Today someone else has become the greatest living singer of traditional country music, but there will never be another George Jones," said Bobby Braddock, the Country Music Hall of Fame songwriter who provided Jones with 29 songs over the decades. "No one in country music has influenced so many other artists."
He did it with that voice. Rich and deep, strong enough to crack like a whip, but supple enough to bring tears. It was so powerful, it made Jones the first thoroughly modern country superstar, complete with the substance abuse problems and rich-and-famous celebrity lifestyle that included mansions, multiple divorces and -- to hear one fellow performer tell it -- fistfuls of cocaine.
He was a beloved and at times a notorious figure in Nashville and his problems were just as legendary as his songs. But when you dropped the needle on one of his records, all that stuff went away. And you were left with The Voice.
"He just knows how to pull every drop of emotion out of it of the songs if it's an emotional song or if it's a fun song he knows how to make that work," Alan Jackson said in a 2011 interview. "It's rare. He was a big fan of Hank Williams Sr. like me. He tried to sing like Hank in the early days. I've heard early cuts. And the difference is Hank was a singer and he was a great writer, but he didn't have that natural voice like George. Not many people do. That just sets him apart from everybody."
That voice helped Jones achieve No. 1 songs in four separate decades, 1950s to 1980s. And its qualities were admired by more than just his fellow country artists but by Frank Sinatra, Pete Townshend, Elvis Costello, James Taylor and countless others. "If we all could sound like we wanted to, we'd all sound like George Jones," Waylon Jennings once sang.
Word of his death spread Friday morning as his peers paid tribute.
Merle Haggard put it best, perhaps: "The world has lost the greatest country singer of all time. Amen."
"The greatest voice to ever grace country music will never die," Garth Brooks said. "Jones has a place in every heart that ever loved any kind of music."
And Dolly Parton added, "My heart is absolutely broken. George Jones was my all time favorite singer and one of my favorite people in the world."
In Jones' case, that's not hyperbole. In a career that lasted more than 50 years, "Possum" evolved from young honky-tonker to elder statesman as he recorded more than 150 albums and became the champion and symbol of traditional country music, a well-lined link to his hero, Williams.
Jones survived long battles with alcoholism and drug addiction, brawls, accidents and close encounters with death, including bypass surgery and a tour bus crash that he only avoided by deciding at the last moment to take a plane.
His failure to appear for concerts left him with the nickname "No Show Jones," and he later recorded a song by that name and often opened his shows by singing it. His wild life was revealed in song and in his handsome, troubled face, with its dark, deep-set eyes and dimpled chin.
In song, like life, he was rowdy and regretful, tender and tragic. His hits included the sentimental "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes," the foot-tapping "The Race is On," the foot-stomping "I Don't Need Your Rockin' Chair," the melancholy "She Thinks I Still Care," the rockin' "White Lightning," and the barfly lament "Still Doing Time." Jones also recorded several duets with Tammy Wynette, his wife for six years, including "Golden Ring," ''Near You," ''Southern California" and "We're Gonna Hold On." He also sang with such peers as Willie Nelson and Merle Haggard and with Costello and other rock performers.
But his signature song was "He Stopped Loving Her Today," a weeper among weepers about a man who carries his love for a woman to his grave. The 1980 ballad, which Jones was sure would never be a hit, often appears on surveys as the most popular country song of all time and won the Country Music Association's song of the year award an unprecedented two years in a row.

Then the distance started really bothering us.. Tried seeing each other for months, this movie was one thing that kept our faith & hopes on one day to continue where we left off.. Still dealing with the distance 💔 still love him more than anything tho!

I am so excited for you to see this vertical garden! I love showing you inexpensive ways to create something beautiful and unique for your home. Not to mention how I feel about taking someones trash and turning it into a treasure.
How to Make a Vertical Garden from a Pallet
Here's what you will need to make a Vertical Garden from a Pallet:
- hunky guy with a saw and a drill
- a pallet (bet you can find lots of them on big trash day this spring)
- paint (whatever color you prefer)
- potting soil
- plants
- landscape fabric
- staple gun
- sander
For this vertical garden the pallet was cut down (four planks on the front and two on the back).
Paint the pallet (this pallet was painted blue and lightly sanded).
After the pallet dries completely, use a staple gun to attach landscape fabric to the back and bottom (you can purchase this at any hardware store).
Fill the pallet with lots of potting soil.
Add a variety of plants in between each plank.
Succulents look beautiful and I love the waterfall look of these petunias on top.
*Thank you to superstar and mr. superstar (hunky guy) for documenting this process for me!
Attach a plank to the bottom of your vertical garden.
Prop the garden by the pool and enjoy!
Have you ever thought about making a vertical garden?
What is your favorite pallet project? Would you take a pallet from someone's big trash (like I did).
Is your dentist handy? Would he let you put pictures of him (half naked) on your blog?

HEBRON | After taking a year to prepare the town's five-year park and recreation master plan, Steve Sibbrell can now try to find the money to implement it.
Sibbrell, who also is the Hebron police chief, said he spent a lot of time on research on the history of the town's seven parks and doing surveys online and in the schools to find out what children want in the parks. The research proved educational for him, too.
Sibbrell said he learned Alyea Park is named for Louis Alyea, a soldier who was killed in World War II. His family donated the park land to the town in 1950.
The five-year plan is a prerequisite for applying for state or federal grants for the parks. It was approved by the Park Board last week and by the Council at its meeting Tuesday. The plan now goes to the Indiana Department of Natural Resources for final approval.
The goal is to try to update some of the older parks, Sibbrell said.
"Two of the parks need new playground equipment," he said. "We also want to put a basketball court in Cohen Park."
Although the plan makes the town eligible for grants, Sibbrell said he hadn't had time to research what grants might be available.
"I will starting looking now," he said.
Town Attorney Ted Fitzgerald said he was asked to proofread the finished plan and praised Sibbrell for the many hours needed to prepare it while teasing him about the effort.
"The spelling was not too good, but he did a lot of work on it," Fitzgerald said.
The Town Council also approved an ordinance setting the policy for writing off bad utility debts and handling unclaimed water deposits. Uncollected utility debts can be written off after two years, but anyone with past-due bills cannot get new service without paying the old debt.
Any water service deposits or overpayments refunded by check to a customer that are not cashed within two years also will be written off. Fitzgerald said the state Board of Accounts said the town is doing everything correctly but just needed to codify the procedure, which follows the wording of the state law.
