Wonders of Google+ Photos

I just recently turned on auto back-up to Google+ for the photos stored in my phone. Then, this is what I found when I browsed my photos through the web version of the Google+:
I think Google has announced this feature during Google I/O 2013 but I forgot. Anyway, what it does is compiling at least 5 consecutive photos taken and making it into short .gif animation. The feature is called "Auto Awesome". Awesome indeed, haha.

Here is another one:
Never cease to be amazed by how cute my nephew is :)

joke of the day

#1
Bro: (pointing at a "Buy 1 Get 1" banner) "Look at that promotion banner. See something wrong?"
Me: "Nope. What's wrong with it?"
Bro: "Well, of course if you buy one, you'll get one. Don't you think so? If you get two, the shop won't survive."
Me: "..."

#2
(in front of "Leftfoot" store)
Bro: "Why the name?"
Me: "Because it only sells the left shoes."
Bro: "..."
Me: "Really! That's why they always put that "Buy 1 Get 1 FREE" poster, so you can get a pair."
Bro: "............."

Silly Things I've Done #4

  1. Flagged down a police car instead of a taxi. Twice. To my defense, it was already late at night.
  2. Ate a clearly (vaguely to me) spoiled 'babi kecap' just because I didn't want to waste food. Puked big time the next day.
  3. Absent-mindedly put a sizzling hot spoon from the pot on my mouth. Ouchie.

Frozen - Not Your Ordinary Disney Princess Story

"Some people are worth melting for"
- Olaf, the Snowman
Even before I watched it, I've fallen in love with the movie. The music, the song, the lyrics, the dialogue, all have captured my attention in a zap. Though I only caught half a sentence of the song ("For the first time in forever...") and that quote above from the trailer, I was sure it's gonna be good.

And it is.

It breaks the usual formula where the Princess is swept away by Prince Charming, just like Brave did, which I also love.

Happy new year 2014!

Yup, first of all..happy new year to you all!! I hope 2014 will be a great year for all of you. (Amen!)

In this new year which only 2 days have just passed by, I might have discovered a buried talent in me. It's... unexpectedly, a gift of... fortune telling? Or prophesying in other word.

I spent my Christmas and new year in Surabaya, hardly ever read any news, let alone opened Google news during my stay there. I was even too lazy to check on my Gmail. So I was not that updated in any international news.

Then one night, still a December night, I had this weird dream, where I learned the news that Yoona of SNSD (K-pop lover must know them at least) was dating Lee Min-ho (Heir, Faith). It really was out of nowhere. I wasn't watching or reading anything related to K-pop which can lead to that ridiculous dream before I slept that night. And I'm not a fan of SNSD or Lee Min-ho, so I wouldn't know about their latest gossips.

And then this afternoon, when I was bored, I browsed Google news and found out that THAT Yoona really is dating someone. But not with Lee Min-ho haha (she's dating Lee Seung-gi). So I was wrong there. But still, the news really is the same! And the guy's surname is the same!

A few months back, I just learned that Orlando Bloom was married to Mirranda Kerr (Victoria's Secret model). Then, a few weeks following, I was wondering whether their little family was still one, and they were. Then... a few days after that, they were divorced. They were not the first couple who divorced right after I was wondering how their relationship is.

Some don't-know-how-many-years-ago, I was wondering about how long Adjie Massaid, a pretty famous Indonesian celebrity, had been married to his 1st wife, Reza Artamevia. They were still together when I thought about that. Then, around 2-3 days after, a big scoop on the newspaper said that they just divorced after almost 6 years of marriage. Ha.

The same thing happened on the then Brad Pitt-Jennifer Aniston couple. Since they were the first western celebrity couple whose wedding I watched on TV news, of course I got curious on how they were doing after a few years. A week after my curiosity rose, I read the news that they were getting a divorce. HA.

Well, let's just think that they are really big coincidences, shall we?
