Happy 50th Birthday, Barbie!
OK it’s supposed to be Happy Belated 50th Birthday, Barbie! Barbie has officially turned 50 on March 9th, 2009. In honor of the milestone/birthday/50th year anniversary, they have released one of a kind Barbie that is only available in limited number and can only be purchased in New York, Los Angeles, Milan, Tokyo, and Paris. Every doll comes with a serial number (just like those fancy Made-in-Italian purses and handbags) so people would be able to recognize the real ones from the knockoff ones. I’ve heard some people have been reselling these on eBay as well, and the starting bid is $5,000.

JOMBLOlogy
I’m going to have to write this next posting in Indonesian since it’s geared towards my fellow Indonesians, and yes – it looks much funnier when it’s written in Indonesian. I got this a while ago but hadn’t had a chance to get into it until recently. I figured I might as well post it on my blog.
JOMBLOlogy adalah ilmu yang membahas tentang JOMBLO. Dalam bahasa latin ‘jomblus’ artinya satu, sendiri atau single. JOMBLOlogy mempelajari sifat, kebiasaan, karakteristik, kelebihan, dan kekurangan berbagai tipe jomblo. Dimulai dari penampilan mereka dari luar sampai potensi mereka yang di dalam.
Jomblo dibagi menjadi 4 tipe dasar. Dimana kita akan membahas satu per satu ke-4 tipe tersebut, dan mungkin kita dapat melihat adanya kesamaan atau kemiripan di diri kita masing-masing:
JOMBLUS UNDERDOGUS

Yang pertama adalah jomblus underdogus, yang bisa kita sebut sebagai JOMBLO tipe-A. Jomblo ini cenderung mempunyai nasib buruk dalam segala hal yang berhubungan dengan perempuan. Ketika ada kesan bahwa nasibnya membaik jangan buru-buru bahagia sebab nasib baik tersebut akan berputar arah kembali menjadi buruk.
Apa yang dimiliki jomblo ini sangat minim, baik kelebihan maupun kekurangan. Tidak ada yang terlalu menonjol dari jomblo ini, yang menyebabkan jarang bagi lawan jenis untuk melirik/melihat. Kunci jomblo ini dalam mencari pasangan adalah PeDe, karena hanya dengan percaya diri yang kuat disitu terletak perjalanan cinta yang nikmat.
Karakteristik dari jomblo ini adalah:
- Penampilan pas pas-an
- Aura negatif
- Pribadi menarik
- Harga diri rendah
JOMBLUS PLAYBOYNUS

Berikutnya adalah jomblus playboynus, atau kita sebut JOMBLO tipe-B. Jomblo tipe ini banyak ditemukan di sekitar kita. Jomblo yang terlihat nasibnya jauh lebih baik dari kita dalam hal mencari pasangan. Berbeda dengan tipe sebelumnya, jomblo ini mempunyai banyak kelebihan terutama bagian external. Seringkali kita bisa melihat jomblo tipe ini harus menyaring lawan jenis yang berdatangan ke arahnya.
Kelebihan jomblo ini dimulai dari penampilan fisik, kemampuan berbicara, kelihaian dalam pendekatan wanita dan lain-lain. Jomblo ini memilih untuk tidak mencari satu pasangan melainkan beragam pasangan. Meskipun terlihat serba hoky dari jomblo ini tetap mempunyai kelemahan. Ketidakmampuan jomblo ini dalam membina hubungan ‘one on one’ mungkin disebabkan karena kurangnya pengalaman berhubungan serius.
Karakteristik jomblo ini adalah:
- Penampilan menarik
- Aura magnetik
- Jago speak-speak
- Takut terikat
JOMBLUS MISTERRIUS

Kepribadian yang tersembunyi adalah sifat jomblus misterrius yang paling menonjol. JOMBLO tipe-C ini sangat ‘introvert’. Dari 100% yang ada di dalam pikirannya, hanya 10%-20% yang terekspresikan keluar. Jomblo ini kurang percaya diri hingga menyebabkan banyak sekali keinginan dan tekad yang tidak terlaksanakan.
Sebenarnya potensi jomblo ini besar dan penampilan secara fisikpun tidak mengecewakan, namun jomblo ini tidak dapat menggunakan kelebihan-kelebihannya sebagai alat komunikasi yang handal terhadap lawan jenis. Jomblo seperti ini cenderung menjadi pasangan yang setia karena perjuangan dan jerih payahnya untuk mendapatkan pasangan yang dia inginkan sangat berarti, sehingga beruntunglah untuk lawan jenis yang bisa melihat potensi jomblo yang satu ini.
Karakteristik jomblo ini adalah:
- Potensi tinggi
- Alat komunikasi lemah
- Pemburu jarak jauh
- Plin plan
JOMBLUS DITOLAKTRUS

Sulit sebenarnya untuk menjelaskan secara detail tipe jomblus ditolaktrus ini. JOMBLO tipe-D ini adalah tipe jomblo yang paling unik – namun bukan dalam arti positif. Perilaku dan motivasi jomblo ini sulit untuk diperhitungkan. Banyak sekali tindakan-tindakan yang tidak masuk akal yang dilakukan jomblo ini dalam mencari lawan jenis.
Apa yang terlihat diluar kemungkinan itu juga yang akan terlihat dari dalam. Mungkin ini satu-satunya dimana kita bisa ‘judge the book by its cover’. Penampilannya yang kurang memadai menjadi suatu kelemahan yang mutlak dalam mencari pasangan. Namun jomblo ini tidak semuanya negatif, secara kepribadian dan sifat dasarnya jomblo ini adalah manusia yang jujur, setia dan baik hati.
Karakteristik jomblo ini adalah:
- Penampilan tidak memadai
- Invisible bagi lawan jenis
- Perilaku tidak jelas
- Lain dari yang lain
Sekian pelajaran tentang JOMBLOlogy, semoga ilmu ini dapat bermanfaat bagi para jomblo yang sedang mencari identitas dirinya dan berguna dalam menentukan cara dalam mendapatkan pasangan. Atas nama para jomblo-ers saya ucapkan terima kasih.

Israel Will be Renamed to Palestine to Bring Peace

My fellow blogger just posted this on his blog this morning. Apparently Netanyahu has agreed to rename Israel to Palestine in order to bring peace with the Arab world. Here’s the full article:
Netanyahu takes top office in Israel
BY ABRAHAM ROTHELSTEIN FEINBERG
JERUSALEM (BS/Daef News) – He spoke at a ceremony at the president’s residence formally transferring power from the departing Ehud Olmert. Netanyahu, 59, who heads the hawkish Likud Party, did address matters of war and peace in his brief statement. The ceremony came a day after parliament formally approved his coalition government.
Addressing parliament on Tuesday, Netanyahu promised to see “full peace” with the Arab and Muslim world, but he failed to explicitly endorse the idea of an independent Palestinian state — a key goal of the U.S.
“I’m tired of the atrocities both people face. I’m tired of wasting Israel’s military might on some rock-throwing boys. Israel wants peace with the Palestinians now. So in order for this to take place, I’ve decided to rename Israel to Palestine.”
In Tuesday’s speech, Netanyahu also spoke of the dangers of Islamic extremism, singling out Iran as Israel’s biggest threat and urging the world to prevent Tehran from developing nuclear weapons. “The Iranians are true adversaries rather then these amateur groups like Hamas and Hezbullah. We can give them power and they’ll just fight amongst each other since one is Sunni and one is Shia. Iran on the other hand possess nuclear weapons which gives us concern for our security.”
Olmert told Wednesday’s ceremony that he was leaving office with “pride and satisfaction” in his achievements but with regret for failing to reach key goals. Olmert resumed peace talks with the Palestinians after an eight-year lull. More than a year of direct negotiations failed to achieve any visible breakthroughs.
“I was not fortunate to fulfill my dream and achieve a real peace with our neighbors. I thought that if I took out Hamas, the Palestinians would love me, I guess I was wrong. I want to apologize to the world for making Israel look like an evil monster who terrorizes innocent people. All I wanted was peace. Seriously.” he said.
Israel’s ceremonial president, Shimon Peres, told Netanyahu that his government must also make efforts in pursuit of peace.
“An Arab initiative for regional peace has been published and I know of no better alternative than peace for the entire region. I’m also moving to NYC in my million dollar penthouse so in all honesty, I don’t really give a damn about Israel.” said Peres, a Nobel peace laureate.
The initiative, proposed by Saudi Arabia in 2002 and endorsed by the 23-member Arab League, calls for a comprehensive Mideast peace accord in exchange for an Israeli withdrawal from all lands captured in the 1967 Mideast war. Netanyahu has accepted this idea and even taken it a step further with the rename of Israel to Palestine.
“Removing Israel from the map, dictionaries and encyclopedias has already been done in much of the Muslim world but now that it will be official for the entire world makes our Jihad annulled,” Hamas leader speaking on the phone with our BS news correspondent.
Zionists set there eye on NYC
Zionists have discovered new evidence in the Torah that the Promised Land is actually not Palestine but New York City. Hundreds of thousands of Zionists have decided to make hijrah to NYC in order to establish the Jewish State in New York.
“We have erred in our research for 1000s of years trying to fight for Palestine when in reality we should be running New York City.” Rabbi Zionfeinsteinberg said speaking on Skype to our BS news correspondent.
Mayor Bloomberg, who is actually a Zionist himself said this, “It’s wonderful to find that the Torah has so much love for NYC. I invite all my Zionist Jewish friends to come on over. Mazal tov!”
The CIA, FBI, Homeland Security and US military are on high alert after the dramatic increase of Jewish residents in NYC. Department of Homeland Security head said, “We are concerned that the anti-Zionist elements may cause a backlash on the arrival of our friends from Israel.”
Obama had this to say, “It’s a time for a change in NYC.”
New Yorkers on the other hand don’t see this as a change. Malik Bryant Wade Jordan of Brooklyn had this to say “That ain’t change nigga. That’s money! More Jews means mo money. More money means more ladies. More ladies means more problems. So what I’m tryin’ to say is that more Jews means more problems. Eff the po-lice!”
Al-Qaeda cancels Jihad on Israel
Osama Bin Laden had this to say on his Twitter, “Due to the renaming of Israel to Palestine, I must cancel our Jihad on Israel. Please focus on Antarctica, we must stop Global Warming! Allah hu Akbar!”
The CIA, FBI, Homeland Security and US military are on high alert after this message appeared on twitter and was re-twitted by Al-Qaeda followers. Director of CIA said, “We are concerned for the safety of Antarctica and it’s melting process which enables the Global Warming process. This process is of great importance to the people of America. We will do anything to continue it’s process and not allow it to be stopped.”
