Falling Into Fall

I had the day off and had a chance to take a walk around my neighborhood with my baby Kenobi. The title of this post may not be completely appropriate because everything hasn't turned completely orange and brown yet. But it will have to do.

My fetish towards nail polish still persist

Imagine how I felt when I saw these flowers on my drive way when I walk out the door

Don't you just want to make leaf angels?

A little burst of red

My lovely and somewhat tilted neighborhood

The blurriness and the bokehs just makes this picture... perfect (in my amateur-photographical eyes)

The remnants of summer

I sent my college application this afternoon and I feel like a thousand ton of weight was lifted off my shoulders. But I did receive my quarterly progress report and I must say that I'm not particularly happy with one class' grade. An Asian F is simply unacceptable! Pffft.

On lighter note, I made my first Indonesian fried rice ever since I moved to my new house and it was a success! Even though it was lacking shallots and sweet soy sauce, it was regardless quite delicious. I was more than happy to have a little taste of home.

A little snack that've been chewed on repeatedly by my brain: Twitter is cool. Twitter is fun. Yes, it's a freedom of speech. Blah blah blah. But not everything that comes out of our mind is pure gold. Thus, we should filter what we're going to tweet multiple times before we hit that Tweet button.

I speak from personal experience that your tweet can bite you in the ass before you even have a chance to delete it. In other words, Google and think before you tweet. It's bad enough if you're tweeting stuff that nobody cares about, the least you can do is make sure that your grammar (punctuation, capitalization, word order, verb tenses, etc) is correct. That should leave you a little dignity ;-)

Have a great weekend!

"New is always better!" Right, Mr. Stinson?

Hullo.

It has been a grueling month and goshdangit I need a break. Lucky me, I was granted a four day weekend! But it wasn't really a weekend to relax because I still have things to do.

My life for the last month and the next two

Those, my dears, are letters that I've received from colleges and universities all over the country and three secondhand SAT subject test practice books. I'm currently walking towards an intersection that will set the course of the rest of my life. But I'm not going to ramble on that today. Some of you may know that I moved to a new house earlier in August. It has been a b-b-blast.

I absolutely adore the French accent on the wall, nightstand, and paintings

The view outside of my window

I'm literally living on the edge of a canyon! How awesome is that? Each morning I would take a couple minutes to take in all the beauty and magnificence of the natural phenomenon. I'm super psyched for winter when the canyon would look like a line of chocolate brownies with powdered-sugar topping. I'll be sure to snap a couple shots for you readers to see. New may not always better and old may not always be bad, but for my case, new is certainly better for one Eliysha Saputra.

That's it for now because I have a few poem analysis to do and a couple college application to fill out.

The Baby Post

So at one point in the past two weeks, I've decided to not even have a Blogger blog and instead use my Posterous instead. But you see, Posterous (as 'efficient' and 'revolutionary' as it is) is not nearly as fun as Blogger! That's why I cave in and made this blog (while I'm supposed to be reading twenty pages about the nervous system, draw a diagram of the human brain, and write a ten-page reflective essay on teenagers' brain).

Let me explain what happened to my old blog (don't even bother clicking the kaput link because the blog is completely gone):

Some moron decided to hack into my primary email account and sent weird email to a few of my friends. Them, knowing me well enough to know that I always type with proper punctuation and grammar, sent me a BBM message to inform me about what happened. So I took charge and deleted my email account since it's not the first time that it's been hacked. Unfortunately, I was moronic enough to delete my blog as well.

It wasn't intentional, believe me.

Bottom line: this is my new and only blog (I've deleted the Posterous one), so follow and all that good stuff.

Cheers!
