Electrified

Guten Abend, good evening...
Today is minus one Celcius degree...
I don't know it is officially winter or not, but, dude...the temperature is killing me! It will get worse - colder, starting on November. Brrrr...!!! My friend said last winter in Goettingen reached minus twenty. Okay, that's something even a bear should beware.
Back then in my sunny country, I hated blanket and socks. Now here, those two things are my everyday menu. I really have to adapt fast here.
People start wearing boots. I don't have ones yet, I am planning to buy. Actually I have visited some stores to try them on...but you know, my big calves make it difficult. They won't zip! They get stucked in the half way because the wide of the upper boots don't fit in my legs. Ahh! At this point somehow I envy the girls with slim legs...
But, I don't give up yet...I believe somewhere someplace, there's special boots for me... (means they're not expensive, best quality, great colour and look, anti slip and have wide and flexible body). Yeah...so happy.
I am also planning to buy jacket. I have already got "it" in my mind, but whenever I am thinking about the price, my stomach starts stirring. It's expensive, man! Especially when you convert the price in Rupiahs. You can buy lots, lots and lots of gorengan with it!
I really need to manage my income...or I will have empty piggy belly. Things are relatively expensive here.

By the way, I notice something new happening to me here. I experience many electric static events. My hair stands up when I comb with my hand, also when I stand close to the door or even when I fold my clothes or wearing ones. And my fingers often got "electric shot" when I touch things. Sometimes it really shocks me. You know, you are walking down the stair and suddenly zzrrrtttt!!!! You want to sit down, you pull the chair, and...zzzrrrttttt!!!! You want to ride and you get your bicycle and zzzrrrrtttt!!! What happened, Man...??? Do I have to many electrons or what?

Come to think of it, maybe this is my inner power... You see, when I was a kid, I ever played "the inner power master" with my friend (I was reading too many martial art comics/books). So we sat face to face and took a long deep breath the pushed our palms towards each other (I kind of shook a little bit of my palms so it was really like having the power...), and my friend shouted that she felt her hands burning because my palms created a hot wave!
I didn't know she was lying or not, I was just happy to hear that. Allright...I am Supergirl!

Well...even I am a Supergirl, I was about to cry this morning in the campus because I met dogs... This one I couldn't handle (yet). Maybe I should practice my hot wave again, so when the dogs come to get me I will point my finger and zzzrrrrtttt!!!
