good monday everyone!
I am so tired right now, I just wanna sleep the whole f-ing monday..
I set my alarm for around 7.10 AM, but i kept snoozing it til 7.35 AM
I showered, I put my eyeliner, dressed up and locked the doors behind me.. the first thing I smell was sort of like a bacon breakfast w/eggs n such.. n my tummy was like "ohh... bfast... i want bfast"
when I got out from the apartment, I sniff the air so deeply and realize how nice the scent of air is.. have u guys ever really really smell it? it's like the best brand of perfume ever!! n it made me realize, gosh i complaint too much!
I walk to the subway station still with a hungry stomach, but I said to myself I had too much food yesterday, i could still taste that brazilian fish stuff I ate at around 3PM the day before..in addition, my pocket money is "Dead and Gone" buahaha..
in class..I kept on thinking about Kat Dennings.. I know creepy rite?
it's just that I adore her so much, I just fell in love when I found out that:
1. she's not that typical anorexic movie star
2. she has the best lips ever
3. she's a lil goth
4. she's weird in a good way
5. she blogs and she does youtube
6. she's not on drugs and she's smart
7. she's a dark hair
arggggh.. I wish I could be friends with her or if I was a lesbian, or she was a lesbian, we could be like a really cute couple.. (cham? seriously what?)
anyways enough of Kat Dennings.. btw, everyone must! n i say MUST watch Nick & Norah's infinite playlist.. that's like my #2 favorite list of romantic movies. .but I still dunno what the #1 list is going to be.. i think i'll reserve it for a romantic movie that will be made around 2012ish played by Michael Cera or Tyson Ritter or Milo Ventimiglia and Me as their lover buaha! Amien to that yo'!
ok..I'll write again in a few hours..but the highlight of the weekend is, I had sooo much fun with Nami Aisha Wyna Kiki and Naomi.. We swam, we had a movie marathon that last for 13hours, we pigged out like helllll.. gosh girls just know how to have fun. but all this perfection would not happen w/out Nami's accomodation..hahah! so for that, thank you Nami.
menu for today: I set aside my differences w/ my other personality who is sooo into being skinny..she finally realize that one day she needs some bagels & cream cheese (since I've been craving for it & was unlucky to savor it yesterday) and I went to this bagel place near FIT & oohMyGod.. the selections was never-ending. they had a new flavor which was "pumkin cream cheese" and I tried it..oh madness! and then they have "pistachio cream cheese" what the hell?.. r u trying to kill me..n next to it was "cinnamon walnut tofu cream".since I've been eating junk food too much, I decided on the tofu cream w/bialys.. which I didn't know that here they serve the bialys with like onions n garlics.. so now, i have tofu cream all over my fingers while typing, and i also have this cinnamon walnut taste in my mouth accompanied by some garlicy n sprouty taste. yeah it does sound yucky.. but it was not as bad as it sounded, I'm just glad finally I had my bagel..nyoom!!!
btw, it turns out.. FIT people watch kids choice award, weird huh?..
have a great monday guys..

unordinary sunday part I
arghh .. I'm bloated right now, I ate like the 1000 pounds lady whom tyra just interviewed. the thing is she has all the space inside her belly, but moi? ohmyGod I think it went straight to my cheeks. =(
but it didn't stop me munching my wasabi soy almonds, the spices are like invading my fingers right now, they're covering it all..Noohh! all bits of salt, horseradish, onion, spice, garlic, and sugar are waiting to be licked ..n yes.. slurrruppss* nose freezee . wait, what??
ok, I'm supposed to do my homework, but instead.. this is what I'm doing @ 7.50 PM.huahah!
IDK, I think I have a really lame life, everytime I'm done doing something fun, I have to go back and do all my school works again.. it's like a never ending cycle. Do you guys have an idea what it feels? seriously?.. but u know what.. I take that back! I got my girls, they might look like the snobby rich UES girls, but once u get to know 'em.. woaa! u know that cupcakes from sugar sweet sunshine? obviously they don't taste like that (makes me curious does people taste salty or sweet? lol) but they're adorable and priceless n they have the heart of a red velvet cupcakes .. wait! I'm not making sense but I think u know what I mean..
btw a little preview of what we had today,
(argh.. I wish I took it from a better angle.. coz this was one of the best dishes)

sleep deprivation
Sleep deprivation is a general lack of t necessary amount of sleep. This may occur as a result of sleep disorders, active choice or deliberate inducement such as in interrogation or for torture.
That explains a lot why I've been sleeping like around 4 AM everyday.. TORTURE I say! I've been so fed up with school works and tests, and this is only like a half of the entire semester. Oh Lord! I just want summer to come earlier this year, I wanna go back to Indonesia and intern in an Ad. Agency and escapade the entire Indonesian cuisine .nom nom!
I don't wanna deal with this anymore .. btw, noh.. this post shouldn't be that depressing. oh here's my menu of the day:
1. a monstrous cookie from momofuku milk bar (again), I wish I had a picture of it.. it's called compost cookie-potato chips, pretzel, coffee chips, butterscotch chips, and chocolate chips- yepph! that whole junk was inside the cookie I consume at around 11 AM! imagine??
2. Naomi left two small fish sticks in the oven, I ate it with a reason..I don't wanna waist food that has already been bought.. poor little fishy sticks. (yeah right) ate this around 2PM-ish
3. I rememberd I went to Trader Joe's and bought 2 bags of nuts.. Hot & Sesame Nuts (no peanuts of course) and Thai Lime Cashews..so I gobble and gobble while studying forDM 121 quiz.. til I saw the calories/servings=170 for 1/4 cup. And I know I ate way more than that! like a half of a 284g bag. *sigh this happened at aroung 2.30 - 4.10 PM
4. Finished with my DM 121 quiz around 7.55 PM, I felt so depressed .. I drag my self to Kofoo Korean Rice Bar just around the corner of my campus.. I wanna try something weird, so I go on with Jap - Chae Bob (no, it's not like an Indonesia cap - cay) it was sweet potato noodles with vegetables stir fried and comes with a side order of kimchi. In addition, because the chef saw my sadden face, he gave me a bowl of miso soup on the house..owh, Thank You ;)
(yeah ..yeah I know, lack of photography skills)
Nighty night peeps

cookie as a lunch menu? say whaaat?
I woke up around 11ish yesterday, with my head going loco coz I was supposed to have a class from 2 - 9.15PM arghh... need some sugar overload!! so indeed I did, I wonder around looking for my momofuku milk bar cookie that I got 2 days ago..FYI, I was really craving for it since the day I heard how decadent momofuku's cookies are..but with NYC depressing weather, I have yet got the willpower to drag my little a** to the corner of 2ave n 13th Street.
however!! since yesterday was St.Patricks Day and it was very sunny & warm-y!! I said to myself "hey.. when was the last time u had ur afternoon walk Mischa dear??"...so I walk to the R train, sat there & think, & rethink .. n again THINK.. "u know what? yeah I think I need a day off from my biology class, it's not like I'm skipping my major classes rite?"
so Naomi, my roomy and bestie (I'll blab about her on my next post), lend me her camera and off I go to wherever the E train stops..(well, it's not like I'll stop if the train took me to Jamaica Center or World Trade Center.. hell no) but ok, here it goes:
1st stop..W4th: Walked around & took pictures.. pass by Jack's Brewed Coffee, was too crowded so I kept on walking..
funny how my tummy knows the right time to be fed.. I was around 6th Ave and W4 when I saw a little restaurant with a few stairs down to the main entrance.. mm.. it looks cozy, crowded, and chillin' (whaat?? I just wanna make a cute group of C's nyahha), let's sit and refuel ..
the tiny place is called Red Bamboo, it's a vegan/vegetarian friendly restaurant with fusion dishes from soul food, traditional american, chinese, thai, indonesian, carribean and what not.. perhaps u might think "how the hell all of that cuisene could be all veggies? sounded blehh.." but Nooo ooo! guess what? they use mock meats!! from "fish"and chips, "chicken" wings, coconut "shrimp", to stir fry "beef" everything was fake meat.. and surprisingly both taste and texture was freakinly similar with the real ones..
so they serve lunch special ranging from $ 6.50 - $ 8.50,
Portabello Mushroom Sandwich, Chicken Parmesan, Fish n Chips, etc .. but I went with the "Codfish cakes with Mango salsa" and all lunch special came up with one skewer of "chicken satay w/teriyaki sauce" or "collard green rolls".
waited like 10-12 minutes and Voila!!
( I know I have to take Photography 101.. but yeah)
my side of mix greens was really dressed to perfection, in a few seconds all that leafy stuff was gone.. and then, this came up..
( I was gonna show u the chicken skewer .. but the picture was horrible so.. I don't want u to get turned off and decided not to go to this cute place)
ok.. and so I stab my -ice cream scoop like-fish cake which made out of soy, fried in a crispy onion batter. and when they say CRISPY.. indeed it was, however, the mango salsa, made the top part all mushy and soft, makes me wonder what's inside.. hmm? I peak a little after I sliced it with my knife, and ouww.. look at that
innards
it was all this mixes of red and green peppers accompanied by a touch of oregano and cilantro. pepperyyy gooowwwwd..
so yeah within minutes.. I ate the whole thing.. NOT! I doggy bag-ed the other cake and ate it for breakfast LOL!
I still wanna tittle-tattle some stuff.. but I guess this post is getting too much right? Or should I continue with dessert??.. you know what I should. Ha!
From W4 station I took the F train and go a cross town to the Lower East Side.
My mind, body, soul, heart, eyes, etc... were thinking about the same fattening concuction of goodness! GELATO! goodness gracious .. pistachio sounded sooo nice,, I'm drooling all over the F train right at that moment . (nahh..)
before I give you my gelato-porn.. here are some of the buildings I wished I could live in..
that's the neighborhood .. and that's the building, I guess my studio apartment would be on the 4th floor..(far enough to take the stairs and exercise, short enough to not give me an Asthma attack)
you know what I'm done talking.. I'm just gonna give you pictures. enjoy ;)
the other part of NYC's chinatown .. before I knew it, my body smells like a mixture of lard and escada.. :(
cute burger place.. check it later ..
and then .. hellow il'laboratorio del gelato.
it was a bummer, coz I thought they would have seats in front of the stall. Oh well, I'll just seat at someone's stairs.. anyways, I was bedazzle with the choices, from dark chocolate, malt, cinnamon, mint chip, raspberry, ricotta, creme fraice, lemon, tangerine, "Guinness", pistachio, and etc..etc..
after a long dilemma.. and three spoons of testers, I decided with fresh mint, pistachio, and guinness in lieu of the creme fraice. Ho!
boys and girls introducing my gelato-porn
innards
can u see what I see?? bits of mint leaves, and crushed pistachios..?? look look!
oh..finally I made the perfect trio of gelatos.. the three flavors mix together pretty well, they hold hands together and down they go to my "red lane".. I love love the texture, but sadly it wasn't creamy enough to be categorized as a gelato.. but overall! it was worth the travel, worth the money, worth the calories!!
That's it for today, I know you guys are pretty bored with my post, so I'll leave you guys dreaming about gelato-porn.. hoho!
cheers ;)

Mischa..
finally..
so after a while of writing stupid stuff in my not-so-attractive looking notebook, I decided it's time for me to venture the world of blogging... I mean what's the harm of it, maybe some people would say "hey..what is wrong with your English?" or "yo.. don't try to write when u can't even type correctly".. but hey, I'm open to any type of criticism as long as you guys would not be throwing rotten eggs at me.(wait..is that sentence correct?) =)
ok! I made this blog a semester ago, when my AC 141 Professor gave us a project of doing some sort of a news blog, but I was too busy with this n that.. so I got a freakin' B- on that class.. well Daa?? it was a Journalism class, how the hell should an Indonesian girl, who just moved to NYC like a year and 8 months ago knows how to write in an appropriate journalistic way when the Professor speaks like in a super-sonic speed. Woman chill!!.. secong-language speaker here.!!
well, as for the reason to move to NYC was more or less a decision I've made to be a better kiddo.. I don't know, I just feel that I was being such a spoiled-brat back when I was in Indo.. so
anyways, before further a due .. please don't giggle n laugh at my funny phrases or words coz sometimes when it gets tough writing in english, I created my own language that I called "englonasia".. if one day I wrote "so you know that 'itu' is like 'bgini' ".. don't hesitate to ask what I mean by that idiotic sentence.. haha!
cups cups -mischa
