Replacing My Glasses July 9, 2008

Posted by jewel in Misc, Personal. 1 comment so far

I was looking for a new glasses to replace my old one when I found Zennioptical.com. After browsing around, I noticed that their price is quite lower than the other. Maybe that’s because they’re selling their own manufactured brand, so there’s no middle man involved in here. It’s like you buy it straight from the fabric. Their are many good collections available, and the shipping fee is flat on $4.95, regardless how many glasses you order. Sweet ;-)

I think the world is getting closer to the Doomsday *shaking head*

God’s Sexiest Creature flunks you! April 18, 2008

You must be wondering what exactly the meaning of the above post title. But  you will understand if you watch tonight’s Indonesian Idol elimination round. I noticed there are quite a lot contestants who sing this song. But all of them *correct me if I’m wrong* fail to go to the next round! I wonder how on earth did they manage to choose that song. It’s not a “right” song to be judged in a competition like that. With all that Aah aah aah and Iih iih iih? It didn’t surprise me that all three judges fail them although one of them has a potential to be a great singer. Too bad her journey must stop tonight. For those of you who have made it to the next round, choose carefully your song ;-)

Super Cute Chandelier Tea Set

Omg…when I was browsing amazon, I found this super cute Chandelier Tea Set. Too bad I live far away from USA. It will cost me quite a fortune to ship that tea set to my country ;) Anyway, I already feel happy just by seeing it on my blog ^^;; According to the product description, this tea set includes 1 teapot, 4 teacups with saucers, and 4 dessert plates. Plus it’s microwave and dishwasher safe. Ooh…I love that cute gift boxes that comes with the package too. After seeing it over and over, seems like I can’t take my eyes of it XD

Check your pagerank, socialmeter, and cool trick March 13, 2008

Posted by jewel in Internet, Misc, Tips. add a comment

Here’s a link I found out that you can use to check your pagerank. If you already installed Google Toolbar, you know you didn’t need this tool ;)
Check Pagerank

And for this one, this tool can check your socialmeter. Try it.
Check Socialmeter

This cool trick is kinda pointless, but it can amuse you for a while :D
Here’s how:
Copy & Paste this code below to your url bar. And you will see that all of the images in the previous page you open will start swirling around. Cool, eh?

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200;DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style;DIS.position=’absolute’; DIS.left=Math.sin (R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5;DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval(’A()’,5); void(0);

Ants don’t want to go near caramel, why? February 29, 2008

Posted by jewel in Misc, Recipe. add a comment

Couple of days ago, I made Ting Ting. It’s a traditional Indonesian candy made from caramel and peanuts. Here’s the recipe of Ting Ting:

Ingredients:

Instruction:

Back to my topic, when my Ting Ting is done, I left some if it lying on the table for a long time. Surprisingly, there’s not even one ant approaching my Ting Ting. It made me wondering why. Considering that caramel is made of sugar, and ants love sugar, why they don’t want to approach it? After a short time researching the internet, unfortunately, I didn’t found out anything. I guess I’m hoping too much from the internet. If you found out why, please let me know why :)
