Things to do when you're bored.

What to do when you're bored? don't get cranky cause it annoys people around you.
Here are my suggestions lovelies!

1. Karaoke with your besties. Rule number 1: NEVER INVITE PEOPLE WHO CAN SING! it is not fun cause you would get intimidated. And dance - do some silly moves. It's good to exercise as well, right?

2. Take some silly photos with your besties. This is my fave since I am always up for some ugly photos. Don't be shy, if you are then no need to post those silly-look photos on facebook. To me, being pretty is too mainstream, plus if you look at those silly-look photos in a few years later, they would make your day :)

Dichie and I are always up to look ugly on photos. FYI, I think we have a thousand of them :p

3. Skype some friends who live faaar faaar away from you. I am sure you guys have a lots of things to talk about. It's good for keeping up  your friendship, right?

4. Have a coffee time with some friends at your favorite coffee shop. Talk about funny things and have a proper gossip session. Don't forget to dress up, you would be in the mood to see people :)

5. Surfing on the internet find some funny quotes or pictures and send them to your friends. This would make you laugh and your friends too!

6. Look at your old pictures with your families or friends and text them what you feel.

With my undergraduate classmates after performing plays entitled, 'You can't take it with you' and 'Lady Windermere's fan.'

7. Read books. If you're bored with the books you have, go online find recommended books.

8. Do a body treatment using traditional ingredients. It is cheap and easy to get. Go online and find the information about it. Learn how to apply make up is also important! you girl need to know how to apply make up at least a simple make up for yourself.

9. Sleep. Nah being an adult means does not have enough sleep sometimes. Take a nap for a bit and after that just sit around watch tv or films till you are hungry :)

10. Write! I know it is hard to start, but as long as you have something in mind about what you wanna write then it is fine. Just write the draft first. You can write about many things and nobody cares about your writings. Go.. do it!

That's all from me. I actually have some stuff to share such as finding your parents' old clothes and mix and match them with yours, clean your room (i know this would make you're bored more), talking to your crush, get exercise (I love jogging, yoga, aerobic and zumba. What about you?) and talk to strangers! Some people might ask, 'why do you like talking to a stranger? you know they're not gonna be your friends.' Well yes true but I believe people who come into your life (for a short or a long period) will always give meanings to your life. You'll always learn something from them.

What else? suggestions? :D

Javanese - English

Bahasa Jawa emang lebih kaya dalam kosa-kata dibandingkan dengan bahasa Indonesia. Tak jarang gue lebih seneng misuh-misuh pake bahasa jawa yang kosa katanya banyak dan kadang selalu panjang kalau coba diterjemahkan ke bahasa Indonesia. hahaha ketauan suka misuh deh :p

Anyway.... gue emang seneng banget main-main sama kata-kata, terutama kalau lagi ngomong pake bahasa Inggris. Walaupun udah ratusan tahun rasanya gue belajar bahasa Inggris (ditambah ambil jurusan sastra inggris pas S1) masih aja ada blukutuk-blukutuknya...aaaah emang dasar otak gue aja yang kecil. Bahkan lebih kecil dari pada lubang hidung saya (baca: pesek), makanya masih susah nambah vocab baru.

Ok... kembali ke paragraf pertama dimana gue ngomongin kosa kata bahasa jawa yang lebih kaya dari bahasa Indonesia. Coba kalian terjemahin ke bahasa Inggris apa arti kata, melipir, selonjor, ngere, nginthil etc? pasti ga ada 1 kata yang pas buat nerjemahin itu semua. Beberapa hari yang lalu gue baru tau dong arti kata 'ngeden'? dalam bahasa Indonesia yang artinya 'mengejan'! menurut gue kata 'mengejan' terlalu 'outstanding' buat ngartiin kata 'ngeden' hahahaha.

Dan sore ini ketika gue buka facebook gue, temen gue dari Melbourne, Nick yang puinterrrrrrrrr banget bahasa Indonesianya (FLUENT BANGET sampe-sampe medhok Jawa) dan bahasa Jawanya kirim message ke gue arti kata-kata bahasa Jawa yang begini:

Walk slowly on the edge (side) of the road. = mlipir

Sumpeeeh ngakak gue bacanya. Setelah itu gue gantian ajarin Nick kata-kata yang sangat tidak akademis sekali seperti, goler-goler, selonjoran, saweran, nginthil.. apa coba bahasa Inggrisnya???
Nah pas ngartiin kata "saweran" yang artinya kira-kira kita ngasih bayaran sama mbak-mbak penyanyi dangdut dengan cara ngelempar uang in a sexual way, tiba-tiba Nick bilang,

"Kita ganti profesi aja bro gimana?" - Lhooooooooo

Kayaknya emang hobi gue deh ngajarin tuh bule-bule bahasa yang aneh-aneh, bahkan cenderung jorok. Habisanya kan bosen kalau belajar bahasa asing tanpa dirasukin bahasa joroknya. Soalnya menurut gue cerita-cerita jorok itu lebih seru dan kosa katanya gampang banget diserep otak yang kecil, kayak otak gue. Karena gue sadar gue bakal sering make tuh kosa kata. Tapi ini sangat ga direkomendasikan di dunia akademis. Gue selalu bermasalah dengan ini. Dulu contohnya pas gue mau ikut EILTS, gue harus nulis essay dalam bahasa inggris dan gue kagok banget nulis pake bahasa akademis yang harus pake topic sentence lah, thesis sentence lah.. bla bla bla... dan bener loh, kerjaan gue ga dinilai dosennya dan dikasih komen, "Your writing is inappropriate." Maaaakkk...... !!!

Masih ngomongin bahasa Jawa. Ga semua orang Indonesia ngerti bahasa Jawa. Nah ini kesempatan nakal sekali buat gue buat ngerjain anak-anak kos yang ga ngeri bahasa Jawa. Sebut saja namanya Dora (nama aslinya Dian, tapi sering dipanggil Dora soalnya suka sama doraemon). Dia ga tau tuh arti kata 'cepirit'.Gue dulu pernah mbajak status facebooknya gini,

"Aku cepirit! Yay"

dan booookkk.... itu dia nge-like statusnya sendiri dong yaaaa.... dan dia sadar bahwa itu gue yang mbajak setelah 6 bulan berikutnya! Padahal gue udah cekakak-cekikik aja waktu itu. Dan tau ga, dia pikir "cepirit" itu artinya "semangat"!! Dari mananya cobaaa?????? Padahal kan cepirit kan artinya pupup dicelana dikiiiiit dan ga disengaja, biasanya pas kentut tiba-tiba keluar aja tuh kopet ya kan?
Gue cerita sama temen gue dari Perth, Tim tentang ini dan dia ngakakkk abisss.. dia bilang, "How come she didn't know it? I even know what cepirit means". Iyee Tim.. pastilah lo tau....secara kita kan suka sama yang jorok-jorok gitu, apalagi kata "cepirit" itu masih kalah jauuuuuh sama kata-kata jorok yang lain yang lo pelajarin (dijejelin) disini kayak.......*tiiiiiiiiiiiiiittttt* ga boleehhh ngomong jorok lagi!!! 

Dan sekarang guepun dapet gelar "mother of saru" dikos ini, soalnya gue sering banget nyumbang cerita-cerita jorok.. tapi kan tapi kan....semua seneng yaaaaaaa???????
