JOE IS DYING

and i did some covers again. Now from Sondre Lerche's and Duffy's; www.youtube.com/tresdivine check it out!

Have i ever told you about my love for watercolor? the image above is water color. i love how the colors are the translucent, low opacity colors. they have transparency over each other and that made the work very captivating. Below is cubes and types! which i love... both has something to do with my project @ design fundamentals. i fell in love with the colors and i love the layout of these pictures. another look into type in Branding This is what's my interior design head pictured when i was in junior high: a two floor apartment, tall windows, high ceiling - that looked like the room below. exactly like the room below. the only difference is that i have my bed right in that space where the man is and that door will lead me to the bathroom and closet. the lower image of the bed, is a fabulously cute bed. design wise it is very interesting, though i would not use it for myself. my apartment will have naive decorations. like;

In one day, two hearts were broken. well, make it four. since there were two couples. both were long distance relationships, both were close friends of mine, both guys were the breaker and both girls are close to my heart. isn't this too much of a drama? they were both such a companion that i thought they wouldn't seperate. however, it all came to this; the word "love" was easily used. let me elaborate. In our society, asians or even europeans, we use the word "love", "cinta", "amour", "liebe", "爱", ever so easily. put it this way, a guy met a girl, the girl was playing hard to get, and the guy enjoyed the chase until he grew tired of it, and he wanted this girl more than anything. He was so into this girl. he asked her out and said "aku cinta kamu" or "i love you" just to get her to kiss him. well, bad example i know, but the whole asian soap operas could tell you what i meant. it's almost as i...

The Gershwins are two amazing jazz musicians and song writers. They have inspired many artists and have gave birth to a whole lot of jazz compositions to the world. These are cover art of their compilation albums which i found amusing. oh, and i borrowed S'Marvelous from the library. I am completely loving it.

i missed my agriculture CD. i gotta ask mom to send em to me. my fave song from their album is this; "New Day" ft. Tika.

first of all, i would like to apologize for the topic that i am going to write here. this is strictly not for those who would tell my parent, or for those who's against the gay movement. i just watch another gay movie. yes, i know, it's not johanna's typical flick. but it's a little guilty pleasure of mine. i found a gay kissing scene very fascinating. anyway, the movie is Touch of Pink. Gay rate: totally gay. well, Love and Other Disaster is totally gay as well. however, the leading actors aren't them. but the girl who's into this guy who she thought was gay. i like the latter better than Touch of Pink. but Touch of Pink has these little gay things that i found amusing; old movies, jazz music, imaginary friend and gay kisses. now i really wish no one will read this particular blog. but, hey, i can be weird right? i mean, there's enough gays out there in Cornish. So i should get used to the gayness of my art school through these stuff. though i am not planni...

this i found out: 1. my brother's housemate, the jp guy, is cute. though he's not my type. 2. i love my brother (for all the jokes, the music craze we share, the movies, the everything) 3. i love my mac (for Garage Band. i could actually play piano without owning one! of course the piano's a badass, but still... anything is better than nothing) 4. i finished two of my mini assignment (at the mall and at jo's place), he waited for me so we could watch Juno... but he fell asleep on the bed where im supposed to sleep at. but anyway, i still love him. he's the sweetest guy ever! he prepared my midnight snack, he gave me a hell lot of jokes and we make music! fantastic night :) 5. my brother just taught me how to play piano for this song... since i haven't got a hold of Garage Band's piano, i'll do it on his unplugged V-shapped Electric Guitar which is pretty kick-ass for an un-wired electric.

gak tau kenapa. rasanya kok agak sedih. mungkin karena cuaca disini mulai berubah, dan akhirnya merubah hormon-hormon tubuh saya. membuat semuanya terasa aneh, terasa sedih. saya baru selesai nonton film Women starring Meg Ryan. akhirnya sangat membahagiakan, tapi saya malah merasa sedih. mungkin saya butuh temen baik, seperti di film tersebut. mungkin saya butuh orang yang bisa di sms tiap hari, buat teriak-teriak bareng waktu liat cowo ganteng, buat gossip, shopping, atau buat jadi saluran cursing waktu marah. mungin juga saya butuh sesuatu yang lebih dari "kerjakan tugas setiap hari". mungkin saya butuh gereja yang lebih banyak worship time. atau mungkin saya butuh gitar supaya saya bisa nyanyi sepuas-puasnnya (karena piano terlalu kencang, dan piano disini bobrok). mungkin saya harus berhenti men-download musik illegal. mungkin saya butuh cowok yang bisa di stalk. atau udara yang hangat supaya saya tidak tambah melankolis... mungkin ini waktu-waktu mendekati hari "da...

here's my list of movies to watch for months to come. i only put the ones that people aren't really excited about. because the ones who are super-rated have enough publicity (you know, like Eagle Eye, Rodanthe, American Carol and the other ones). 1. Bed Time Story - Disney. It's another one of Adam Sandler's funny movie. it's about how bed time stories came to life the next day. it's gonna be super, i can tell! see the trailer here . 2. Ink Heart - Warner Bros. About how a book came to life when it's being read by mr.the mummy returns (whose name escapes me). interesting, if you're into Narnia and all that kind of fantasy stories. see the trailer here . 3. Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist . well, it's not like i fell in love with the trailer. but i think this movie is going to be cute. i guess. 4. Flash of Genius . this is a heartfelt story of a man fighting against a big car company, ford, who stole his invention; the windshield wiper. see ...

i can't believe that i am staying up all night just to watch 2 movies when i should have been doing my essays. dang! great time management, johanna. now you got 3 essays to finish over the weekend and studies and sketches due the day after monday (tuesday). right, i am devastated. i dont wanna miss church again, and i certainly have to go to wallmart tomorrow (to buy some chocolates and a pair of undies). so please, please, do your work right tomorrow. at least do them on the bus. please johanna, just gimme a nice weekend to enjoy. it's better if you finished them tomorrow so that we can "half-chill" on sunday. but im glad that we did the two other assignments last week. which means we dont have to do as much. anyway, enough of me talking to myself. i just watched; Love and Other Disaster which is absolutely fabulous! it's funny and i can't stop laughing. it's about a girl who works in vogue london and she's totally clueless that a foreign guy likes he...

So i've moved outta basement and claim Andy's place as mine. Andy (Andrea actually, but i call her Andy) is the girl in that picture above, along with Ryan. Gosh, i really miss Andy. She's a great shopping partner, she's so fun to be with... i missed her. :( This room is much-much smaller than my basement room. it is much much hotter too. i mean, i actually wear a sleeveless tee and still feel hot! i got all of my stuff outta my luggage. As you can see the picture down there; i got all my stuff in my bed. i dont kno where to put them bcoz this place is extra small. but hey, im cool with that. no problemo. you know why? here's a few reasons why i gladly move up... 1. I get another monitor; a 17 inch-ish flat screen hp monitor. working side by side with my FabMac. 2. I get an additional keyboard that actually works with my mac. double fab! 3. I can transfer my pictures from my cannon camera. coz there's an extra card reader and an external USB plugs. Triple Fab! 4...

saya harap hujan mau berkooperasi dengan saya. jangan hujan sampai payungnya nyampe dari amazon.com. please, please, please i do not want to be drenched in water all the way from home to school and from school back to my place. today, my parents called. finally! i missed them. so im glad that their voice was the first thing i hear in the morning. later this afternoon, Andrea will move out. which means; i'll be the only girl in this place and i'll get to take her room. am i happy? no, i want her to stay, really. it's gonna be real different with her not around. i mean, who am i gonna take for shopping?! i know i could take Ryan, but he's a guy. uuhh :( i'll keep this post simple. coz i've written yesterday. did i? i did right? yeah, yesterday was karaoke night. which is FUN!!! i went all crazy even before i started drinking. well, you know me... always the perky girl around music. i did a ton of jazz song (i miss Kak Hari!!) and i sang some Vertical Horizon, Deep...

i say, i know sometimes i do feel like overly happy and perky. but as soon as i get alone, i feel differently. not so perky, a lot calmer, a hell lot more calculative. believe it or not, i have been busying myself with my homeworks yesterday; till 12pm doing 2 HW and 1-2pm watching bridget jones diary. hey, dont get angry here! it's friggin weekend, i deserve a tv time. i decided that tomorrow will be another day of work. i will finished 2 other HW of mine. but like a good young girl, i didnt. i went out with my house mates; Andrea, Ryan and Eric. We went to South Center as usual. and i bought 2 body splash (buy 1 get 1 free), one lotion and one fedora hat!! everything for less than 30 bucks! i am so amazed and HAPPY! i finished my mission :D On the way to South Center i did my sketches for Design Drawing class, and this ghetto spanish guy said that it's some "asian shit". i dont mind, really. "shit" here means "thing". so what i did is an "as...

sebanyak-banyaknya gue mau punya baju-baju keren, gue gak punya duit. sekarang gue sibuk banget belajar. tiap hari gue ada pr. tidur malem2 sampe mata gue rasanya berat bgt. sekarang aja gue baru selesai buat Journal Humanities gue. ahh, sulit sekali rasanya untuk menahan diri gak buka firefox dan maen youtube atau imeem. sempet sih tergoda dikit, gue maen ke amazon dan masukin satu bubble umbrella ke chart gue. which reminds me, i need to buy: 1. umbrella (hari ini gerimisss... uhh, gak senang!) 2. lotion 3. kick ass perfume (body splash will do actually. link-nya ini parfum lama gue...) by the way, pas kemaren maen ke south center, gue hampir mau beli fedora hat di 21 yg harganya 5 dollar. keren sih, black and sort of warwick-y. but the shape is sorta not solid. and i asked my bro, he said i gotta buy those in ebay. it's much cheaper. but GOSH, i love tangible shopping. coz i could check them out on me, and not imagine how it would look like much alter (and sorta gamble with th...

I met my brother at south center. At first it was just another hang out time, you know like the good ol' times. We had lunch at Sushi Land and went to my place. He met my house mates and my host fam. I noticed that he had grew so much. Well, he's not taller (or at least our height is still in the same comparison - like i grew just as much as he did). His hair grew much-much longer. His sense of style too. He talked like an american now, which is an improvement. He had learned a great deal of responsibility and i am proud of him. At the end of the day, we took pictures, we talked a lot. He showed me things that he liked at you tube just like we used to do. I showed him my fave band too. By the time he went home, i still think that it was just like we used to be. Like, we're gonna meet again by tomorrow morning and we'll be talking about anything random. But then as he went away, marlon said "6 months of not meeting and all you got is 30 minutes bonding time?"....

Today i worked on my homework till 11.30pm-ish. i watched TV all morning and got inspired by Project Runway and Top Design. We had dinner at Pho Hoa (which according to ryan is supposed to be read as "fa hoa"). I've finished my Digitl Drawing and Digital Darkroom home works (not so bad. one's vector at AI and the other one is a bad ass photo manipulation).  I think i'm going to be sick. i'm having the meler and sakit tengorokan symtoms (what's the correct spelling?). gue udah coba minum OBH tapi rasanya kok jadi keras sekali disini. dingin di tenggorokan luar biasa, sampai2 takut over dosis. terus gue minum redoxon. rasanya juga jd sangat keras. sodanya jd banyak bgt. akhirnya gw gak minum obat dan cuma minum air putih terus. sekarang gue mengalami jenis batuk yg sering gw dapet di binus. batuk yg cuma bisa berhenti kalau gue langsung minum air. which means, gw bakal banyak pipis.  Yesterday, we went to Bellevue Square. i was in love with that mall. it fee...

here's the trailer for that porn movie we watched in humanities class. what's funny was my humanities class was pretty much packed (there's at least 15 ppl). and all of us was shocked. the movie was extremely sex-ed. One girl (i think it was Maya or Carly) said "they didn't even talked, they just have sex!" and Tonny replied "that's just the way it should be". it was so disgusting because the girl and the man (15 and 32) had sex every night. The girl is 15!!! that's like, having sex with your flippin little sister! The girl is this poor french girl, and the man is the rich jobless chinese guy. both horny, mind you. all the boys was like exhausted after seeing the movie, the girls felt like we've been molested. i just can't believe that our teacher said that the movie bridges the topic beautifully, the topic is... Colonilism. that's a bull!

i was watching VMA and the brit guy was talking about Jonas' Brothers' Promise Ring. I was like "what promise ring?" and i searched on the internet and i realized what a great band they are. i was laughing, and i;m still laughing now. Not that i ridicule them, but i just can't believe it. they are BOYS! and boys don't usually do this stuff. this promise ring thing is wicked brave. i didn't mean to contradict myself (i used to think that the brothers are the they'll-be-gone-in-a-couple-of-years band), i still think their songs are too pop-y, but i am glad that they took such a bold move and literally tells the world what they believe in and what they wanna be. and i am GLAD that my little sister is being a fan of a great band that people should look up to. sad that they didn't win against Britney on the best video awards. But still, i'm glad that they are a band that show these teenagers that you gotta keep that purity in you. God loves you, kid...

My heart beats differently today. maybe because i had someone on my mind, who's just by accidental reason, placed himself in my head last night. what's weirder is that thinking about him didn't made me happy and fluttery. It made me...silent. and i thought, well this is certainly different. Mr.Big Nose is his name. and i don't wanna talk about him. As soon as i got home from school, i was tired. i was in a good mood, until i turned the imeem on, and started listening to my jazz playlist. and all of the sudden, i got the blues! and i started to realize that it's either my head or my heart that's messing with me. my eyes started swelling for no reason, and i started feeling down! i did not feel like im missing my home, or i missed somebody back home. i feel ok. Only, this heart is beating weirdly for no reason that i know of! And you know what, i always think that when my heart is doing this... then somebody is thinking about me. and that somebody has been thinkin...
