Customer. "I want a silhouette of myself on myself."

Me. "Ok?"

Customer. "Can they look at me naked, and draw it?"

Me. "You could just bring in a naked picture..." 

Customer. "I want them to look!"

Maybe it was the look on her face, or it was  just late, i fucking cracked up. Usually, I have a good game face, but this was it. Her expression turned from offended to comprehension back to offended, which made me laugh even more. She walked outside. A crazy bum with two chicken legs in hand came up and tried to talk to her, i ran him off, told her that we couldn't get to her tattoo tonight. She left.

La música es un arte en constante evolución, desgraciadamente me doy cuenta que en la parte de distribución o negocios no lo es, hay muchas personas que siguen sin entenderlo hoy día con todo eso del Internet y la piratería, el futuro nos alcanzo y la música pasa por un mal momento.

Hay muchos discos que tengo pensado comprar pero en varios lugares hay servidores que ya tienen estos álbumes mucho antes de su fecha de lanzamiento, a mi en lo personal me molesta mucho que se haga eso: “robar la música”. Me acuerdo hace algunos años cuando uno no se adentraba mucho a una computadora o a puestos de MP3 y discos piratas, que el comprarte un disco de alguna de tus agrupaciones favoritas o otras, era algo que esperabas con ansia y el sentimiento de al fin tenerlo en tus manos, acá bonito, lo que es un disco original, generaba un sentimiento que al escuchar la música te hacia quedar bien, tanto contigo mismo, con la música, y tal vez lo mas importante, no ser parte de esta cadena al robo.

Hay que decirlo, la propia industria no ha sabido reaccionar ante tal problema y las personas tampoco, el paradigma de consumo ha dado un giro de 180 grados y lo que sigue igual es el paradigma de comercialización pese a los intentos de las propias agrupaciones, hoy día ya no se ven medidas claras, los blogs, el Internet, piratería, etc; son ahora las herramientas para escuchar la música, yo también lo hacia, pero me di cuenta de que el sentimiento ya no es el mismo, y esta mal, muchas personas por ahí se excusan con la absurda pregunta “¿Por qué voy a comprar algo que puedo obtener gratis?” nadie ha sabido responder a tal pregunta y pese a reediciones especiales, tracks nuevos, arte renovado, ediciones con un DVD, artículos promociónales, etc; ya nada de esto es esencial en esta época.

El devolver la música a los escuchas parece algo lejano, no solo por las corporaciones, disqueras, agrupaciones, si no también por las propias personas que han creado su forma de tenerla, lamentablemente así es, veo y veo sitios [como si en verdad fueran algún medio de información profesional] poniendo sus propias criticas o reseñas con respecto discos que todavía no han sido lanzados y que estos ya lo tienen por que lo descargaron de algún torrent o servidor, una forma de elevar sus niveles de audiencia y sentirse ching%#$ por ser de los primeros en escucharlo, escribir la reseña y tenerlo. Uno de los discos mas cercanos que quiero obtener es Death Magnetic de Metallica, el cual me entere que ya tiene entre 2 semanas que esta en línea para descargarlo, siendo sincero me gustaría descargarlo de ya, y anotar mis impresiones pero como dije, yo no formo parte de esa cadena de consumismo, lo comprare en la fecha oficial, el día 12 de septiembre en alguna sucursal de música, haciendo las cosas bien, así como otros mas que aunque estén en Internet prefiero seguir teniendo esa ansia y sentimiento de que al comprarlo oiga y sienta la música de una forma genial y agradable, lo siento así es, se que debería complacer a todos los que leen notas o comentarios de este tipo como lo hacen muchos seudo comunicadores y piensan que para opinar con sinceridad si mucha gente [principalmente adolescentes volubles y fácilmente impresionables por los medios de información] pueden sentirse agredidos, pero siempre eh creído que hay que opinar libremente sin sentirnos obligados a complacer a nada ni nadie

En conclusión las tiendas ya dejaron de ser una opción, las tiendas online van por ese camino, la cosa física, el disco como tal esta apunto de desaparecer y al parecer ahora el consumismo ilegal ha llegado para ser el cambio.

As we all caught the glimpse of the article where the Associated Press said, "it's true the rich keep getting richer" ~ our Presidential candidates have the nerve to say they understand.  Umm.. I know people who have saved, scrimped, and pulled the rabbit out of there hat"s" to try and save the material stuff and then the home they live in ~~~ instead of the home they live in, then the material stuff.  Now, that is neither here nor there. 

How about this for our Presidential candidates ~~ let's find out who reallly is for the people and to turn America around ~~ there is still time before November to really find this out. 

For one month, they live on the salary of a blue-collared worker, working the hours and trying to buy food and do the "normal" things they have taken for granted. 

If both of these guys really have a "pulse of America and the American people" ~ both will succeed ~ without hoopla from the press.  The press will have to back off and let them be ~

Rules are simple: You accept no help ~ no cameras to follow you at all (even the little pin ones) ~ you are put into a situation where you have to deal with credit collectors ~ you have to figure out food & gas ~ you are given just enough as if you had been living this fabricated life all along.  Ha! LOL! I am humoring myself on that --- I'll save it though.  See what happens.  In the next month ~ your report will be given the day you have come out it, within 20 minutes.  If you really think quick on your feet and you know the American people and the situations that everyone is dealing with ~ it won't be difficult to see how well you adjusted and just how thankful you are/have become.  AND NO, NO PREP'D CRAP AT ALL ~ Trust me the people would know.

Such a full of shit idea ~ I know. But damn it ~ don't tell me how I feel, I know.  I know there are soo many out there that feel they are not listened too or even given a chance.  I get to listen to it everyday and make tough decisions everyday ~~ not once in a while ~~ everyday.  Not only is it my job ~ but it is dealing with people who have been running for years and the piper has caught up with them.  Even if their life style has changed ~ I am the one who is either the good guy or the bad guy to them depending on exactly what concocted story is present.  I would really like to see and hear a hell of a lot more truth.

So how can it be that adults are afraid to succeed? Well, because they’re afraid of change. This will go against everything that they and their surroundings have set as a standard for how they should be and how they should behave. All this is very inconvenient. But try to imagine what it would be like to really do and achieve what you most want in life (provided, of course, you know what it is!)

Perhaps you’ll be energised by your dream, but after a while you’ll start to think about what happens if those dreams are fulfilled - what then? What about my life? How will this or that react then?

Another possibility is that you imagine you won’t succeed, so you ask yourself why you should try, after all, you only feel a fool when everyone sees you’ve failed!

The gist of this is that when there’s an enormous fear of being successful, you run the risk of being a failure!

I guess this is just another stupid syndrom that i am feeling..
Does most of you dont know how to manage between friendships and relationships and think for you own friend point of view? I really dont understand why is it so hard to just think for others other than ur bf or gf jst a min or two.. maybe things will be better you know.. I mean yeah bf/ gf if for me bf la ok easier.. bf , hm yea he is important but how bout frens around u? have u tot bfr u have one u r always with them and after u hav someone u held so importantly, u just dont realised it that you had abonden them . I mean its not the matter of not a betrayer or anything but without your knowing and notice you had hurt someone else .. sigh.. ya bf is important but spending most of your life time with only him all the time.. till no time for others.. hm thats a little too failure of u for not understanding ur surrounding .. well as slvr said mayb yeah its jst a few mths of strting thats why u r in still head over heels zone .. and me as ur good fren should understand.. but watever it is.. I do have some other ppl and my bf .. as i wont be a loner IF and only if smth happen.. If and only if smth happen by that time u jst left urself and noone else beside u that cared for you so much u knw..

Why does people only regret when the moment they lost smth? why does ppl only look at another point of view when he or she can actually do look at it while going through that path way of life?? people do make mistakes.. but time jst dont fly back and make u get a perfect life .. but insist u from learning from your past instead of drowning over you little dark side.. do anyone realise the 360 degree point of view.. sometime u might only think from 30 degree or wat ever degree point of view but has u tot of the other degrees? Ok i am talking crap.. haha i guess its been really a long time i didnt crap sh!t in my blog.. hehehe..  i guess everything just change and i have to accept new stuff and lead life style stronger than ever.. 

i guess i will continue blogging later.. gtg for dinner .. :) take care everyone :) stay happy :D

disadur dari : http://www.dummies.com/WileyCDA/DummiesArticle/Ten-Things-Never-to-Do-in-China.id-3236.html

1. jangan pernah menerima pujian sepenuh hati

biasanya jika kita memuji orang cina, misalnya pada kasus betapa enaknya makanan yang dimasaknya, biasanya orang tersebut malah akan bilang "ah...tidak, masakan ini tidak enak sama sekali". intinya orang cina semakin dipuji malah akan semakin merendah (beda banget sama gw, kalo dipuji malah bilang "alhamdulillah, ya iya lah :D ") . tradisi mereka mengajarkan untuk selalu bersikap sederhana & sopan tanpa memperlihatkan kelebihan mereka

2. jangan pernah mempermalukan orang lain (yang ini mah ga usah di cina juga emang harus ... ;-) )

jangan pernah membuka aib seseorang di depan orang lain (apalagi di depan orang banyak),sebaliknya pujilah mereka disetiap kesempatan. maka mereka akan menghargai anda (kalo dipuji malah merendah..gimana sih.. :?: )

3. jangan pernah bertengkar di depan umum (sama kaya' no 2...ya iyalah.....)

4. jangan pernah memanggil orang dengan nama pertamanya

nama orang cina biasanya terdiri dari 2 suku kata, nama pertama dan nama keluarga. biasanya nama keluarga diletakkan paling depan. jika seseorang memperkenalkan dirinya sebagai Mr. Li Ming, maka sebaiknya kita memanggilnya Mr. Li, karena ini adalah nama keluarganya.

5. jangan pernah mengambil makanan dengan ujung sumpit yang salah (gimana si...masa' ga bisa bedain.... :P , mending pake sendok+ garpu aja kalo ragu2, ato skalian pake tangan)

bisa diliat di gambar di bawah, kalo ujungnya aja udah beda...jadi jangan sampai salah ya ..

ini ada link ttg bagaimana menggunakan sumpit yang benar : http://eatlittlesaigon.com/joomla/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=34

6. jangan pernah minum alkohol tanpa menawarkannya terlebih dahulu (yang ini mah kayakna ga mungkin salah d....wong soda aja ga minum...palagi alkohol :roll: )

7. jangan pernah membiarkan sesorang membayarkan tagihan anda tanpa anda menolaknya terlebih dahulu (ini yang syusah...rejeki ko' ditolak...)

biasanya orang cina berebutan untuk saling membayar tagihan pada saat mereka selesai makan.

8. jangan pernah membawa "tangan kosong" jika anda berkunjung ke rumah orang lain

kebiasaan orang cina adalah sering memberikan hadiah untuk orang lain, tanpa memerdulikan saat2 spesial. jadi biasakan anda untuk membawa "hadiah kecil" kemanapun anda pergi, karena anda tidak tau siapa yang akan anda temui (haduh...susah banget si...mo ngomongnya..)

9. jangan pernah langsung menerima makanan, minuman & hadiah, tanpa terlebih dulu menolaknya (alias malu2 kuching....)

karena orang cina akan menganggap orang tersebut tamak alias rakus, jika langsung menerima tawaran dari orang lain, betapa inginnya barang tersebut

10. jangan pernah menganggap serius jika ada orang cina berkata "tidak, terimakasih" untuk pertama kali

karena kata2 tersebut adalah kata2 yang pasti mereka ucapkan jika ditawarkan sesuatu betapapun mereka menginginkannya. jadi biasakan untuk menawarkan hal (makanan, minuman, dll) kepada mereka lebih dari 2 kali meskipun mereka tetap berkata "tidak, terimakasih"

Yes, now you are slapping your foreheads Homer Simpson-style and wondering why the hell you fell for it again. But you did. You read the hype and let yourself believe what even a retarded mole would not believe. In fact, you even allowed yourself to look forward to it.

Well, you're not to be blamed. These things happen. They happen to people at any rate. Sometimes, it's difficult to explain why or how you can find yourself pulled into something, and obviously a certain amount of dreamy irrationality is a prerequisite. But there's a dim logic to it, too. Narrator looks pretty (see the front cover ... again) - in a mildy cross-eyed American way.

Narrator's (would be) main readers are university debaters that will be coming to WUPID as well as the ones going to the Worlds. If your target consumers are people in universities, debaters and debate enthusiasts, and people who wants a cheaper and whacky alternative to the Times, Economics or Newsweek ... placing an ad in Narrator would be a genius move. Anyhow, if you have any interest in putting up an ad on Narrator or have further questions that needs answering, feel free to contact me at mlysn@hngsc.com or izham@hngsc.com.

"Driving in India"

For the benefit of people visiting India and daring to drive on Indian roads, I offer a few hints for survival. This is applicable to every place in India except Bihar, where life outside a vehicle is only marginally safer. Indian Road rules broadly operate within the domain of Karma where you do your best and leave the results to your insurance company. So here are the driving hints:

Do we drive on the left or right of the road? The answer is "both". Basically you start on the left side of the road, unless it is occupied. In that case, go to the right, unless that is also occupied. Then proceed by occupying the next available gap, as in chess. Just trust your instincts, ascertain the direction, and proceed.Most drivers don't drive, but just aim their vehicles in the intended direction. Don't you get discouraged or underestimate yourself. Except for a belief in reincarnation, the other drivers are not in any Better position.

Don't stop at pedestrian crossings just because some fool wants to cross the road. You may do so only if you enjoy being bumped in the back. Pedestrians have been strictly instructed to cross only when traffic is moving slowly or has come to a dead stop because some minister is in town. Still, some idiot may try to wade across, but then, let us not talk ill of the dead.

Blowing your horn is not a sign of protest as in some countries where we honk to express joy, romance or just bare lust (two brisk blasts). Here, it may be to show your resentment, frustration, or just to
mobilize a dozing cow in the middle of the bazaar.

Keep informative books in the glove compartment. You may read them during traffic jams, while awaiting the chief minister's motorcade, or waiting for the rain waters to recede.

Night driving on Indian roads can be an exhilarating experience. The roads do not have shoulders, only occasional boulders.

Truck Drivers are the James Bonds of India and are licensed to kill. Often you may encounter a single powerful beam of light about six feet above the ground. This is not a super motorbike, but a truck
approaching you with a single light on; usually the left one. It could be the right one, but never get too close to investigate. You may end up proving your point posthumously.

During the daytime, trucks are more visible, except that the drivers will never signal. Often you will observe that the cleaner who sits next to the driver, will project his hand and wave hysterically.

Occasionally you might see what looks like a UFO with blinking colored lights and weird sounds emanating from within. This is an illuminated bus, full of happy pilgrims singing bhajans. These pilgrims go at
breakneck speed, seeking contact with the Almighty and often meeting with success.

I must add a positive point also. Rash and fast driving in residential areas has been prevented by providing a "speed breaker" which is two for each house. This mound, incidentally, covers the water and drainage pipes for that residence and is left untarred for easy identification by the corporation authorities, should they want to recover the pipe for year-end accounting.

Good Luck and God be with you!

Quietly launched on January 22nd 2004 by Google, Orkut is the brainchild of a Turkish Software Engineer-Orkut Buyukkoten. A widely spread e-mail claims thus- A guy lost his girlfriend in a train accident....but the gal's name nowhere appeared in the dead list. This guy grew up n became IT technical architect in his late 20?s, achievement in itself!! He hired developers from the whole globe and plan to make a software where he could search for his girlfriend through the web…Things went as planned...and he found her, after losing millions of dollars and 3 long years!! It was time to shut down the search operation, when the CEO of Google had a word with this guy and took over this application, This Software made a whopping 1 billion dollars profit in its first year, which we today know as ORKUT.

Well great going for Mr.Orkut. But what about the rising number of fake and clone profiles on his pet project? Something that can be achieved in a matter of minutes. All you need to do is log onto Orkut, pick a picture of someone you like and post it yours! Simple and to make things better-just post profile information which would normally contradict the life of the person whose picture you would have posted and BANG! You have a great profile picture, an amazing profile which lures unsuspecting guys (rather hopeless) into your so called life which is one to die for!

Well, it happened to me. Posting photographs on this site is a high risk option. You never know where you will end up! You might be unsuspectingly scrapping your friends on the happenings in your life but on the other side of the globe you might be a Shalini Shukla or Kamini Gupta trying to date guys.

"Do NOT say NO to the one who propose you with great diamond."

Buat kalian para lelaki, mungkin advice dari temen gue ini ditanggapi dengan miris, menunjukkan bahwa semakin banyak cewek matre di dunia ini yang melihat seseorang, rela berkomitmen lebih jauh dari seseorang cuma gara-gara berapa besar materi yang bisa diberikan sang lelaki.

Tapi buat gue dan beberapa orang teman metropolitan gue, saying no for the answer to the one who propose with great diamond ring adalah hal tersulit untuk dilakukan.

Bukan... bukan karena kita matre tapi... diamond make it easier. Easier to answer even when we (the girls) not ready yet for an engagement or even married.

The fact is: we have any obsession about bling-bling. Jadi waktu seseorang melamar sambil membuka kotak cincin, maka perhatian kami lebih terpusat pada diamond-nya, bukan pada lamarannya. Dan yes, beberapa orang terlalu terbawa pada euphoria berlebihan terhadap diamond sehingga di luar kesadaran mereka, mereka menjawab ya untuk lamarannya.

So guys, here is some notes for you:

1. If you a guy, then make sure you pick the best diamond to propose your lady.
2. Don't ever blame yourself if your lover say no for the answer cause sometimes it's not your fault at all, it's just because you choose the wrong diamond.
3. If your lover say yes, then make sure that she say yes for your propose NOT for the diamond.
4. And last, for all ladies here... I definitely agree with my friend's quotes that DO NOT SAY NO FOR THE ONE WHO PROPOSE YOU WITH GREAT DIAMOND...

That's all...

Any comment, guys?

Sono divertenti e mi è sembrato bello metterne qualcuno su un post del mio blog.
Spero che siano divertenti anche per Voi.

Setelah membaca renungan itu, saya teringat akan peristiwa yang pernah saya alami dan lihat ketika berada dalam ibadah yang atmosfir hadirat Tuhan amat amat sangat kuat dan murni...... saat itu sering terjadi manifestasi dari orang orang yang hadir disana. Saat itu, seringkali.... apa yang tersembunyi, tiba tiba termanifestasi nyata saat orang itu jatuh tersungkur dalam hadirat Tuhan. Dan orang orang yang masih memiliki hal hal yang tidak berkenan dengan Tuhan , tiba tiba bisa menjerit jerit dan terguling guling karena begitu kuatnya hadirat Tuhan yang maha kudus.

Aaahhhhhhh, untuk orang yang mengasihi Tuhan dan gentar padaNYA, akan merasakan betapa indah dan menyenangkannya hadirat Tuhan.
Tapi untuk sebagian lainnya, hadirat Tuhan bisa terasa sangat menakutkan dan menyiksa..... Dan semua itu adalah CERMINAN DARI ISI HATI YANG TERDALAM.
