now a tad bit longer..

first of all, gw ketiduran this morning :P jd ga ikut solat id xD

altho udh ditelp yussi n elvin berkali2.. tetep ga kebangun xD
d'oh

anyway, in the spirit of Eid, i would like to introduce you to moslem barbies :D
di Indonesia udh mulai ada, yg bikin namanya Bu Sukmawati Suryaman. Her dolls are called 'Boneka Salma' (bandwidth exceeded xD duh kasian) - (Republika Online)

selamat buuu :D you are so creative :D
hehehe

Emg ternyata boneka barbie versi muslim is not exactly new :D

there is a Moroccan Barbie, and a veiled doll called Sara in Iran, and one called Razanne for Muslims in Britain and the US - Fulla is now the market leader. (The Guardian)

While pabrik2nya bilang klo muslim barbies enhanced self-virtue in young girls ada juga yg oppose kayak this blog

"Poor, poor young Muslim girls. [...] Thank you male dominated corporations for making girls all over the world have skewed body image and fucked up sense of self."

The author think that fulla dan lain2 itu cuma alat cuci otak soal self-image. sama aja kayak barbie. (blonde-anorexic-bimbo-dog poo-picking xD) - see picture for reference :p



Ga tau deh bakal di-export k belanda ga barbie2 muslim kyk gini :D well i actually do not hold any grudge against barbie. soalnya i know she has nice collections (ada yg seri princess, ada yg dresses from around the world), dan ga sebitchy bratz :D altho dulu pernah ada bbrp artikel yg criticizing barbie yg dibikin dgn badan sangat tdk manusia (pinggang extra kecil, dan big tite boobs). bikin anak2 kecil punya obsesi kurus (and blond? :D) kyk barbie. tp yeaa.. i disagree coz i played with barbie n i just didnt think that way. barbie is barbie, it's a DOLL (gile gw wktu kecil dah punya pikiran kyk gt :D)

tp emg eneg jg kadang klo masuk toko mainan, dan ngeliat barbie2 yg sangat western :P (iyaa.. i know there are also 'other races' barbie.. but still..) trus di sampingnya... BRATZ. I wonder when the time will come when we can see Razanne or Salma on the till side by side with those bitchy bratz :D

*mempublikasikan posting*

the waltz-silje nergaard

Strike up the band let it play
Love songs to haunt me and I will stay

But when it comes to a waltz
both words and music will ring false

For you waltzed in and spun my world

Around in dizzy dance I swirled

But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Those violins, they must go
So no careless hand with a bow may play
on the strings of my heart
and make me remember how lovers part

How you waltzed in and spun my world
Around in dizzy dance I swirled
But suddenly you waltzed away from me

Strike up the band let it play
whatever it chooses
and I will say,

Play me a waltz if you will

I'll sit here and listen
waiting until my love returns

to take my world and spin it' round
in dizzy swirl
Where girl loves boy and boy loves girl
and feet don't touch the ground

i really am good for screwing things up :D
i wish time could really heal

facebook for life

yeaaah so i admit that i've been logging in to facebook quite regularly for the past weeks. and i also admit that i finally gave it a try. dan ternyata cukup adiktif :p it has these widgets and games and "apps" dari berantem2 pke zombie/werewolf/vampire sampe punya binatang piaraan :D
membuat friendster terlihat sangaaaat lammmmeeeee...

so my favorite applications at facebook for the moment are:
1. The Zombie/Werewolf/Vampire app
awal2nya i was infected by a friend of mine (dapet notification klo i was infected). dah gt after turning myself to a Zombie, and Werewolf, and Vampire, i can infect more ppl and fight with other zombie/werewolf/vampire ... to gain level :D yah awal2nya jg ga gt tertarik sih, tp begitu ppl started biting me in order for them to gain level, dan ngeliat org2 itu naik level n turning themselves to a scarier er.. ya.. ga scarier, weirder kali ya (ice vampire? fire werewolf?) jadi panas juga :D so everyday i got 5-7 chances to attack other creatures (ga harus v.s. creature yg sama). yah abis itu ada fight club jg sih. tp kinda lame soalnya cuma bisa berantem sekali sehari :( oh ya,.. you can also be a slayer and beat those evil creatures :D i'm all four so i'm basically very flexible and very confused :D

2. (Fluff)friend :D
ini yg bisa piara2 binatang gt. i'm having a mouse of course :D trs mouse-nya bisa dikasih makan (harus beli dulu d shop), ato ganti habitat (background pic), ato nge-race fluff friends yg lain. my mouse has their own (fluff)book profile :D trs gmn caranya dapet duit buat beli2 makanan/habitat? yak caranya dgn mem-"pet" binatang2 piaraan yg laen :D (or place winning bets on the race). tadi2nya kan ngira cuma bisa ngepet piaraan temen2 doang.. tp ternyata bisa jg ngepet binatangnya temen (selama yg punya masi on the same 'network' klo ga salah).

Oh iya, di facebook jg lebih 'restricted' soalnya you cant just view other people's profile unless you're on his/her friends' list (or on the same network.)

*) Jadi d facebook ppl are 'grouped' within networks, bisa berdasarkan regio/negara tempat tinggal, tempat kerja, atau sekolah

di dunia e-biz sendiri facebook sering dijadiin bahan diskusi: dari trend penggunaan aplikasi facebook - ada sekitar 5000 aplikasi, dan yg "top-listed" punya jutaan pengguna. Walaupun 87% dari semua itu cuma tefokus ke 84 aplikasi, dan hanya 100,000 active users (ga dijelasin sih kriteria active users apaan.. log in k aplikasi sekali sehari? ato sekali semenit? :P)

saingan facebook klo d amrik paling myspace yg lebih banyak dipake sama bands and artists buat promosiin diri (myspace bisa upload lagu dan video, bisa streaming juga dipagenya). tp toh menurut desas desus fb jg bakal nyusul buat bikin artist platform and mp3 store :p

anywaaaaaaaaaay yeah its an okay tool for notworking,.. oops i mean networking :p
altho i'd rather spend most of the time fighting with my zombie and feeding my ulmaaaaa (as oppose to 'socialising'). ya socialising ke luar atuh... meet some people, shake their hands, touch their hair, gaze deep at their eyes, hear their laughter... du du du

these are the things that had happened as i failed to control my feeling

last 2 weeks had been hectic..

several cases of emotional abuse
hurtd ppl
making promises and compromises, running from it
lied and cheated

do/say things that myb i shouldn't

and now ppl seems to move on
while once in a while they got reminded of painful memories

short sweet bliss followed by many tormenting guilt

i keep reminding myself of how much/worse this can get.. please think for the sake of others and not yours :D

think that i'm not young anymore :D

funny that these all has to happen now. at the holiest of month.
funny that all of us hv to go through this
funny that why now and like this, not at some other time, some other place
i pray for good things to come to all of us
i pray for this to make us at least closer to the Straight Way

اهدِنَــــا الصِّرَاطَ المُستَقِيمَ
صِرَاطَ الَّذِينَ أَنعَمتَ عَلَيهِمْ غَيرِ المَغضُوبِ عَلَيهِمْ وَلاَ الضَّالِّين
Guide us to the straight way; The way of those whom you have blessed, not of those who have deserved anger, nor of those who stray.

In Rainbows is coming :D

jadul

gila ya ganteng2 banget mereka *ngiler* click here for lyrics
