hmmm.. currently, I'm thinking about decorating my studio apartment.. :p thing is I have limited (almost zero) budget but I still wanna do it. I envy Lisa's apartment so cozy. parang sumusuka na sa gamit ang kwarto ko (my room is like vomitting things - does it make sense)?
I wanna post pics but I don't have a cam. will try to take some pics using my webcam later..

Bitching around about White Guys

Oh well oh well... Gusto kong sapatusin 'tong lalakeng 'to (I wanna throw a shoe at this guy). Tagalugin ko na lang ba? English na lang. Atapang atao (strong person). hahaha! I don't give a damn whether you read this or not. Yes, you are a white guy. Feeling superior, looking down at Asians. But why do you love to go to Asian countries anyway? Because generally, you are nothing in your country? Wahahaha! Mayabang lang kayo, pero wala namang ibubuga (you're just proud but you don't have anything to brag) aside from your color. Feeling gwapo (handsome).

According to an Indian lecturer in INTI, some white guys only go to Asian countries because they are basically nothing in their own country. Surprisingly, some of them just get $1000 usd for teaching at EF - English First. They love it here in Indo because they get cheap ciggies, cheap alcohol, and cheap girls. My goodness gracious! $1000 usd is just half or even 1/4 of some Filipino expatriates' housing allowance. Bwahahaha!

Anyway highway skyway South Super Highway, I'm pissed because a guy just said "YOU ARE TOO MATERIALISTIC GIRL". Just because I wanted to give my dad a Mont Blanc belt. What the hell you care? It's not even enough to pay for my monthly rent here. It's just a way of showing my appreciation and I'm not gonna get it from my allowance from my parents. I'm gonna work my ass off for it. So what the hell? I just thought he can help me to get a better bargain from ....... The comment was just totally uncalled for. I wanted to stand up and slap him right then and there. Thank goodness that I didn't lose my professional mind otherwise, I might get fired the next day. Phew!

Well, my workmate was right. CULTURAL DIFFERENCES. ok fine. That's why I'm learning International Management at USQ. ok ok ok.

Just bitchin around...

XOXO,
Mummy Gone Wild

Updatesss

It's been awhile since I updated this blog coz I've been very pre-occupied with a lot of things. I just came back from PI and man! my daughter missed me a lot! She wouldn't go with anyone else except me. aww. I really love my baby girl! :)

Work has been very "busy" that I needed to stay overtime for 2 days already. I guess it's not TGIF today.

I'm in a dilemma... but I cannot disclose.

Life. Life. Life.

But oh! I got a new lover! :D whatta vacation!

Chop it off!

Finally! After doing a lot of research about short hairstyles, I finally chopped it off! :) I was thinking of going to Tony and Guy, Alfons Salon, or Rogers Salon to have it done so I made few phone calls and inquire about the prices. They don't differ much, a bit pricey for my standards. Yes, I told myself that if I'm gonna have a short haircut, I better have it done in a nice salon coz it's a risk. I never had my hair cut this short after 10 years?! Yeah. So here are the before and after pictures.


Kinda feel guilty though coz usually I go to Johnny Andrean (Rp50ish ribu = P250) or Aura Salon (courtesy of my aunt) for my haircut. Well, I only have my haircut twice a year.

I decided to go to Rogers Salon and asked for their top stylist, Jaka to have my hair done. The salon is nice. Really nice! There's a pond inside the salon. :) Haha! I "cut" work for an hour since boss is not here. hush hush! My friend suggested me the idea. ;)

Translation Attempt 1

Okay. So I'm here at my office table, hungry, bored, and thinking of something to do. Yesterday, my boss asked me to check her presentation by finding any grammatical and spelling errors (woah! is my english good? NO! but i want to believe that it is good enough since I spotted some corrections, mostly -ED and -S).

I was a big fan of Parokya ni Edgar when I was in high school. I miss listening to their songs. Since I'm bored, kinda feeling useless. I wanted to do something fun? So yeah.. I decided to translate their song in Bahasa Indonesia but I doubt if it makes sense. hihi! hiks!

This Guy is In Love with You Pare
Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong! (hahahaha!)

(this guy's in love with you pare...ano?)
(Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong! apa?)
One look and then yun iba na
Satu lihat dan itu beda
Malagkit dumikit ang tingin ng mata
Matanya lengket
One smile,iba na ang ibig sabihin
Satu senyum, maksudnya ganti
'di na friends,ang tingin nya sa akin
lihat saya bukan teman
Everyday parating we're together
Setiap hari kami bersama
Every week,palaging may sleepover
Setiap minggu, ada nginap
Ang tawag nya sa mommy ko ay tita
Dia panggil ibu ku tante
Bakit ba,di ko non nakita
Kenapa saya tidak lihat?

Bridge
Jembatan
Until out of the blue,
Sampe luar biru,
Im feeling so true
Rasanya benar
Bigla nalang sinabi sa akin that
Dia bilang semuanya sekalian

Chorus
This guy's in love with you pare,
Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong
This guy's in love with you pare
Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong!
This guy's in love wiyh you pare
Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong!
Bading na bading sayo..
Dia banci karena kamu

Di na ako makasagot ng telepono
Saya gak mau angkat nelpon
Palagi nyang kinakausap ang parents ko
Dia lagi bicara sama orang tua ku
Kulang daw sa tulog at di na makakain
Katanya tidurnya kurang dan gak bisa makan
Bakit ba? di pa non inamin
Kenapa dia gak akuin kemaren?

Repeat bridge and chorus
Jembatan dan chorus lagi

Everyday daw ay rainy day ang monday
Setiap hari ujan, senen
'coz 'di na ko maaya to come out and play
Karena dia gak bisa ajak aku ke luar dan main
Tinataguan na nga,palaging late o absent
aku ngempet, telat atau cuti
Ang sabi parin
Tabi dia bilang lagi
"i'll always have a friend that you can depend"
Kamu punya teman bisa tolong kamu

Oohh...
ahhh gitu
Di kailangan na mag-oonn...
Gak perlu pacaran
Parang talong at bagoooong...
Kaya terong dan ikan bumbu

This guy's in love with you pare
Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong
This guy's in love with you pare
Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong
This guy's in love with you pare
Cowok itu cinta kamu, dong
Bading na bading

Dan dia senang.. dan benchong.. iya.. iya..
Na na na nananana na nanan na(2x)
Nek nek nek neknekneknek nek neknek nek (dua kali)

Better ask Tony (my friend who is Indonesian and fluent in Filipino to check this..

Random Thoughts

I dunno. I miss Ryan. I dunno how to express it further. I find him so numb. He always try not to portray any emotion. This is getting difficult day by day. No assurance on when I will be coming back. Should I go back to Manila soon or what? Everything seems to be unpredictable. One thing is sure, I want a comfortable life. My parents brought me up this way. I dunno if I can learn how to step down a bit. Awhile ago my workmates were telling me that the kost (serviced studio type apartment) where I am moving to on March is expensive coz I earn less than that but my dad will be the one to finance it. It is pretty ironic though. I'm working but all I get from the company is not sufficient to fund my everyday needs. I just use it for shopping. Well, you have to give it to me. I haven't finished university yet and Dad told me that he doesn't like me to stay in a basta basta place since he has been working so hard all this time to give us a comfortable life. I love my dad eventhough he gets toxic at times.

Thoughts are all over my head. I can't express them into words but I can say that I'm pretty scared (not so scared) about the future. Tuition fees are really high and I have to send Daphne to a good school for sure. How am I able to do that on my own? On the other hand, I'm trying to find a way to be financially independent in the near future. Ayoko na may masabi sila sa akin. I wanna stand up with my own feet. Hopefully, I will be able to save up for a comfortable house soon, if ever I will be settling back to Manila or get a relatively good paying job here. What about other countries huh? hmm.. Let's see.

Dad is getting a job! Yay! :D Thank God! It took only a month of waiting. God is great! :) Justice and good karma come back so quick so no need to revenge or anything. yeah that's right. ;)

Btw, my sperm donor offered a child support. I said NO THANKS with my left eyebrow up. haha! I hope I could tell that to him face to face.

Conflicts, Confrontations, and Isolation

3 things that I am thinking about at this very moment.

Tough one.

Kinda worried but I am choosing to cuek aja and act as if wala akong pakialam.

Ang gulo!!!

Why other people cannot say straight to other people's faces that they are BROKE?

i've been broke for the past 2 weeks because of my sky rocketing phone bill. i never had to make excuses or sugar coat my situation. i brought food at work, skipped after office coffee hangouts. but yeah.. i survived. then there's this boy who was trying to make excuses for his failure to give me ^^^^^^^ this ^^^^^^^^^.. sabi niya, i want to give it to you personally.. yeah right, will wait for that. i'm kinda pissed. ^eyes rolling^

I therefore conclude...

She's not that smart! :)

False Alarm

Terima Kasih banyak, Allah!

nuff said. ;)

Mummy Gone Wild is in search for her SPY

yes, you read it right. someone is spying on me and reporting me to my dad from time to time. what the heck? imma plant some wrong information to people and let's see. tsk tsk. asians are good in black magic, remember that! we're in indonesia, another remember that. if i catch you, you gotta explain. i got some suspects in mind but i hope i'm mistaken. otherwise. tsk tsk. hmph. don't break my trust, kiddo. otherwise, you won't get fucked forever.

Google Him

Have you ever tried Googl-ing a guy?

This is kinda scary huh? :) Stalker mode.. hahahaha! But this can be a helpful tool for you. Right, my friend?

*coughs*

Anti-A**hole Campaign

Why guys can be completely a pain in the ass?
Why do they take advantage of you? Coz you let them to? Come on that's unfair.
Why do they play with your feelings? Try to be close, closer, even "closest" to you and suddenly drop you like a hot potato?
Why do they love playing mind games?
Why do they give us girls false hopes?
Why some of them are insensitive?
Why some of them are irresponsible beings?
Why do they cheat? That's why girls are starting to cheat nowadays.

... and yet we still want them. hahahahahahahaha!

Moral Lesson: Beware of assholes.
