I was browsing on the net to kill some time, got bored and i decided to go to Amazon.com and 'its' there !! The novel that makes my shopping itch seems modest.....
The previous series are soo addictive and i just cant wait to burry my nose on the next one, escape life and indulge on Becky Bloomwood's mishaps and misfortunes.
Hmmnnn,.. I wonder how long it takes for it to publish here.. i just cant wait... i just cant wait.. btw,.. if u really really cant wait, Ak' sa ra bookstore already imported the paperback version... as for me, i'll be waiting for the local version, budget wise..

the perfect antithesis of me
there's a Genie bean I've grown for nine years
but never really grew close til recent five
we grew close not because we 'click'
we grow closer because we bump every turns we took
i dont get her and she doesn't get me
we see things different, we stress out different
we argue our point to tears
for one can't see the other view
Things in common is something we're not
for we breathe different air and drink diverse water
beanship we share is shaky yet sturdy
and through time sticky beans we've become
When harsh wind blew into my world
i'm glad Genie bean is on my side
for she keep me steady
whatever storm may come and blow
i may never understand your point of view
but i do understand our friendship
we are friends because we are friends
theres no string attach and yet we stick
for we know we both kind sick
of you being you
and me being me
but gal, you cured me of me..

handy words
this poem was dedicated to a best friend, going to a new world..
what would Genie needs
when she decide to roll to a new
thought an extra hand would do
to help Genie with those luggage full of shoe
Hopping this hand might even do
to give Genie a comfort pat in times of woe woe..
or just a hand to hold when she kinda blue
I shall say in case Genie doesn't have a clue
that the space left is kinda huge
and my world had missed a hue
when' i lost a special friend such as you'

The sale spell
Overspent.. Overspent..
on the land of discount and sales
somehow i've lost my sense
when i see that special pants
on the land of discount and sales
somehow i've lost my sense
when i see that special pants

The hair drama
to complement my curly mind, i of course was blessed with curly hair. No.. no no no, wait....I actually was a straight haired girl. Until it all happen, I was a nine years old kid in the 80s, curls was happening back then and i was just a little sister who always wanted to do whatever things my sister did. So, when she permed her hair..... so did I.. and it was the last time i see my glossy-manageable-straight hair... from there on it was all frizz and coarse... i hate it .. i hate it !!
it was the biggest mistake of my life, while the trends lasted 5 minutes, I, however, 17 years later, still stuck with this big curly hair..
So from there on whenever i was idle-ing i would brush my hair, pulling it down, hoping that the curls would go away, and my hair would finally be straight and easy once more.
but 'big and frizzy' was meant for life for me..
Then i give up, i stop brushing my hair, i stop trying to control my frizz, i stop pulling it into a ponytail, i was exhausted.. and miraclelously it started to work !
ok,.. to sum up this is how i got my hair to work for me,..
rule #1: Stop brushing your hair.
its the biggest crime againts curly hair. brushing would only pulling the curls down into undescribe-able frizz, so.. dont !!
Rule #2: Good hairdresser is key, when your hair is curly.
When my hairdresser move to another town, every haircut was an adventure, with my mane at risk.... turn out it was a good thing. i started to try-out new styles and i learned some cut actually complement my curls instead of hiding it
the basic key is layering, so curls wont be too bulky and heavy that it gotten soo big.
Rule #3: Conditioner, oil & lotion.
After all this year i have been walking around looking like a lion head,... the mysteries of curly hair is in emollient.
curly hair go wild when they dry, so always use conditioner. and no, regular conditioner wont do, curly hair needed richer cream. daily.. i used them every time i shampoo-ed. Yes that is what it takes for curly hair. I even layer on conditioner, with a leave-on hair lotion to define and further more enhanced my curls.
Rule #4: Air-dry is best !!
You have pile-up those cream and lotion on your hair, blow-drying would only make it dry, and frizzy again. so for curly hair, blow drying doesn't make any sense.
and now i just wait, good hair-day surely come my way !!

My growing rule of thumb
These are the list of things that curling in my mind, that i'd wish i know earlier on life. I have strong belief in this list and i suspect life could be easier if i can, which i cannot always, stick to these rule :
1. If you should ever choose beetwen beauty and brain, always go for beauty !!
People always wants to help makes life easier and bearable for the pretty ladies.. even when she doesn't need the help.
2. People dont always remember what u said, but they'll always remember how you make them feel.
when u said something bad, people dont always remember what you've said, but they always remember the feelings of hurt u cause.. so if u can't say something nice, just shut your mouth !!
3. Always stand-up for yourself or you will be perceived as a Doormat-personality
when you let people walk over you once, they'll walk all over you again and again.. and when u finally stand up for yourself, they'll think that you have an attitude problem, because its not natural for a doormat, not wanting to be doormat.
4.when you are struggling, you are on the rigth path
I learned this from my fitness instructor, when i complained that my leg is tremble-ing, and the weight is too heavy for me that i find it hard to keep my body stable. she said, "then you are doing it right". Apparantly in order for the muscle to strenghten i have to challenged it, traumatize it so bad, that in order to cope-up, the body will have to become stronger. and i think it applies in other area on life. if you want to grow u have to traumatize your self. if you want to be smarter, traumatize your brain, if you want to be emotionally stronger traumatize your heart, etc, etc..
5. Believe in yourself.
Sometimes confident people are not always the right one for the job, but they'll surely get ahead because they have confidence in themselves. Often the competent one have everything she/he needs in order to succed, but she/he is failing because she/he always constantly questioning her/his self.
