this little bar could have put me behind bars

Mars bar

Well, well.. It was an early night, and I have to go eating to break my fasting day. The menu that day was one of the best so far I think, and we got some dessert of snack bars. Mine was Mars.

Because I was in such a hurry, I rushed up home and realized that I had to do some grocery shopping. Not planning to eat the Mars bar so soon, I just put it in the pocket on my jacket.

So there I was, entering Marktkauf (a grocery store nearby) with a Mars bar in my pocket, unable to prove that it has been paid, had it been questioned. Thankfully I found out that the bar was in my pocket after I got home, and people in Marktkauf never know until now.

switcheroo..

Another switcheroo in my orchestra happened again this week. Well, the good thing is, I learned how to play new instruments. But the bad thing is, can you imagine how it would be like if the member of the group is complete? I don't think that I would play other than the most basic instrument. The saron. Arrghh..

saron, basic instrument in gamelan orchestra So, so far I have learned how to play 7 instruments, and performed 5 of them. I will be performing with yet another new instrument in next month performance. Arrgghh! And then when we will have another performance and everyone is complete, guess what I would play. Yup.. Back to square one.

Well, sometimes I think it's not fair at all. I mean, I come to almost every rehearsal, I learn the hardest, understand the most, and play the best (wooo.. a bit over the top?) But why I should be the one who's being pushed back? And sometimes I think that the choice on who to play on what was not based on merit. It was merely based on insecurities and uncomfortability. Damn!

the mighty gong Well, you know what? Maybe it's all because I took too much advantage from them. Hehehe.. And I totally deserve that. I still like it though, being there and understanding the music. And speak the language. And the bonding. And the food. But definitely not all of the attitude and the Punktlichkeiten.

is it possible to love an angel?

There was an angel standing on the islands of Vanuatu. She used the form of a beautiful woman. Meet Ami Cusack, angel in flesh, one of the castaways in Survivor: Vanuatu..

I don't know why.. Everytime she calmed someone on the island, she always touches my heart, by her way of speaking and comforting. Carved deeply in my mind how she comforted Twila when they discussed about her femininity. And how she cried in the background when Dah left their island. And today, when she talked to Eliza about her performance in reward challenge.

But maybe she is the descendant of Azrael. For she has become a nemesis for two castaways already. Two weeks she had shown his powerful cast, and sealed the fates of two hopeful survivors. Bubba and Lisa. Both of which we heard from herself that she thought this particular person who would go after the tribal council.

She is powerful, athletic, beautiful, feisty, and as in Chris Booker's words: snippy. Her presence in the voting booth just took my breath away. Both when she voted out Bubba and Lisa. I can talk all day long about the angel that I love. She's Ami Cusack, and I love her.
