Birthday Greets

I never put my birthday on the profile of online social networks (OSN) I joined in. There are like five different OSN: Friendster, Multiply, Facebook, Blogspot, and Twitter. And mostly the main reason of my-joining is social persuasion. Hihihi... Not trying to blame others, but... here's the bigger picture: all of my friends joined the OSN, and made friends with the actual friends in actual world in OSN also, plus they made new friends from the OSN, anddddddd this is the worst part, they talked about it all the time. Like it or not, I had to join the OSN to keep up with the recent topic talked. Hihihihihihi...

And to the very beginning, I joined Friendster. Which became a huge trend when I was in high school. First, I didn't like it. I even lost my password twice, but later on, and also due to my shallow high school perspective, I enjoyed when it comes to adding-cute-guys-as-friends-though-I-didn't-know-who-that-person-was. Who knows, maybe he's a total psycho? *LOL*

At the Friendster era, I tended to confirm strangers as friends, including those we used to refer as ALAY (sorry, dudes!). And that's why I didn't put my birthday (Did I???).

When the Facebook Era came, I embraced Facebook and left Friendster. There, I made my profile private. Filtered everyone who added me as a friend, deleting several people from the friend list (because it turned out that they were annoying and I didn't know who they were), and did not post my birthday on my profile. And therefore, no one (except my close friends) had ever birthday-greeted me on Facebook.

Well, until my birthday due this year. It was when Dina asked me why didn't my birthday reminder showed up on her homepage. I explained, and then she tagged me in her status. I guess that was the point where people notice my birthday and started to birthday-greeted me on Facebook. And then I thought...

Why didn't I try to put my birthday on the profile?

Well, just a little test to see if someone figured out my birthday and care enough to birthday-greet me. Hihihi... I did, and the result was I got heaps of birthday-greet, and what makes the birthday-greet even better, all of them were from the people I know in real life. I know, it might sounds a lot cheezy for you, but for me, it's... somewhat worthy :).

The greetings were from junior high school, high school, university, T**** TV, and peeps from The Big City. Least were from my family. Who cares.

Anyway, thank you very much for all the greetings, wishes, and blessings, peeps! And I replied all the birthday-greet one by one on their profile page instead of posting a-thank-you-status. I think it is more elegant... and sophisticated! Hihihihihihihi...

"I'm nothing special, in fact, I'm a bit of a bore
If I tell a joke, you've probably heard it before
But I have a talent, a wonderful thing
I am so lucky, I am the girl with golden hair
I wanna sing it out to everybody
What a joy, what a life, what a chance!"

Thank You For The Music

A Test Out

I am trying to post from my new bulky gadget. It's a birthday present from my D.A.D.D.Y! YAY!!! :)

The Little Looney Tunes!

Here are a little blast from the past for all of you! =) You all must have seen the series during the preschool age!

Great intermezzo for me while trying to finish the revision of final internship report!

"We're tiny, we're toony
We're all a little loony
And in this cartoony
We're invading your TV

Comic dispensers
We crack up all the censors
On Tiny Toon Adventures
Get a dose of comedy

So here's Acme Acres
It's a whole wide world apart
Our home sweet home, it stands alone
A cartoon work of art

Our scripts were rejected
Expect the unexpected
Cause Tiny Toon Adventures
is about to start

They're furry, they're funny
They're Babs and Buster Bunny
Montana Max has money
Elmyra is insane

There's Hamton and Plucky
Dizzy Devil's ducky
Furrball's unlucky
and Go-Go is insane

At Acme Looniversity
We earn our toon degree
The teaching staff's
Been getting laughs since 1933

We're tiny, we're toony
We're all a little loony
It's Tiny Toon Adventures
Come and join the fun.

And now our song is done!"

And as well as the German version! (I post the Germany language version just because I love the language and I love to hear their accent!):

"Wir Tinies, wir Toonies,
sind schrille Spaß-Cartoonies,
zuhaus', ohne Pause,
scheinen wir euch jetzt auf's Dach!

Wir haben Sponsoren,
und hauen auf die Zensoren,
wir Tiny Toon Doktoren raten
euch zu Jokes und Krach!

Wir leben und wir lachen hier
so wie es uns gefällt!
Denn Spaß muss sein, Cartoon allein
ja, das ist unsere Welt!

Der Text wird gedichtet,
vernichtet, neu gedichtet,
die Tiny Toon Geschichten
schaffen - wie bestellt!

Können fies und gemein sein,
und komisch kann so'n Schwein sein,
und Monty ist ein Geldschwein,
Elmyra nervt uns sehr!

Hier ist Hampton, hier Plucky,
Dizzy teuflisch zackig
Furrball und Dackel
und Gogo spielt verquer!

Und auf der Looniversität
da lernen wir die Tricks.
Die Gags, die Jokes, den Schabernack
von nichts kommt nämlich nix!

Wir Tinies, wir Toonies,
sind schrille Spaß-Cartoonies,
die Tiny Toon Geschichten,
ja die sind echt groß!

Das war's und jetzt geht's los!"

Both are the opening theme song Tiny Toons cartoon TV series
Produced by the Warner Bros sometime around the 90's

Tiny Toons was one of the cartoon series I used to watch in the evening when I was a child. And I always felt curious about the song because it tickled my ears whenever I heard it. Accidentally read my friend's Twitter, I googled, and found it! =)

Watch the Tiny Toons original opening here and the German version here. And simply goes here for the rest of the non-English Tiny Toons lyrics.

It looked good on my friend's Facebook page, but when I copied/pasted it, the iPod kinda ruined! *lol*

But it still looked good, right?

But guess who gets the rest of me
And there's no need for jealousy
Music gets the best of me

Music is my life you see."

Let's Draw A Birthday Cake On The Sand & Play Around The Sandy Beach Under The Warm Sunshine Which Blown By Glorious Wind

I'll be turning a year older in several hours.

And to review the year-back:

- I got the chance to create a big event for our radio, together with my friends off course. We held a successful event and broke boundaries for the first time. I learned a lot: I learned to develop concepts and make it real, to deal with lots of people with more experiences, to manage fifty people to work together, to defend against those who disbelieved us and proved that we were right from the start, to motivate others as I motivated myself either. Lots have I learned from that one event.

- I earned the chance to have an internship at a major TV station in the big city. May the learning process and the experiences I had during the internship enrich me to walk along the road ahead. It's one of the learning process.

- For the first time I lived miles apart from my parents, my bedroom, my stack of pillows and warm blanky. Away from my comfort zone, and headed to a new strange place called the big city. The melting pot where life are being rushed. Deadlines are being pushed. And pressures are everywhere. I made new friends, gained experiences, and learned a lot about everything. As well as tried had to memorize the streets and routes I used to take there. Every little thing means a lot.

- I was broken hearted. And then I am not. Because I met a person. As for this far, that person has been very kind and affectionate. Fingers are crossing towards what's next.

- I have very supporting loving parents. Living miles apart apparently taught me to love them more. Although words are hard saying.


And for the roads ahead:

Simply I just want to be a more grateful religious person. Being able to manage emotional feelings and make my parents proud of me. Well, and get rid of the lazy habit and start exercising too.

"... ten million fireflies lit up the world as I fell asleep
'Cause I'd get a thousand hugs from ten thousand lightning bugs
As they tried to teach me how to dance."
