Chinese Classics

pictures by Fary Hendrayana

They say treat people the way you want to be treated, I say treat people the way they treat us.

They say you don't know what you've got till it's gone, I say you knew exactly what you had, you just thought you'd never lose it.

They say laughter is the best medicine, I say it doesn't heals the broken hearts.

They say they love the truth, I say they prefer to be just happy.

They say people come and go, I say people never leave, they're just change.

They say you can't live without love, I say I can't live with oxygen and water.

They say keep on dreaming, I say don't forget to stop dreaming and start your effort to make it true.

They say that love is more important than money, I say have you ever tried to pay the bills with a hug?

They say we are too young to love, I say they are just too old to remember.

They say nothing last forever, I say I will prove they are wrong.

They say I'm Chinese, I say they don't know how proud I am to be.

Lost in Baby Blue

THE ONE AND ONLY the best summer I have ever had was in 2012. Went to all-my-lifetime dreaming place, Paris such a great experience with my friends. They called it summer, but I called it winter (it's like Phineas and Ferb -- Swinter) haha. I live in tropical country, the place where we can relish and be thankful for the warmness and 12 hours day and 12 hours night. This dress I bought it in H&M when summer 2012. What I love about this dress is the color. No color can compete this, it's like I wish heaven is full with this color :)) Beside that what I love about this dress is the simplicity and feminism. Not showing too much skin, and appropriate with this tropical weather. It feels mild and calm.

Talking about the color and the look of this dress, I decided to wearing this with my favorite heels. The color is nude, so it will match with everything on the top. But sometimes I have to think again and again to wear this heels for shopping walk or go to the event because of the height. Usually I rather wear the middle height one - for example 7-10 cm or maybe shoes that covering all the front side of our feet. With that type of heels, the possibility of your feet will hurt is less than the one who wear shoes that not covering the front side of their feet. Just wear something that can reflect who you are. One of the lessons that my photographer (Fary) gave me is, do not let your clothes control your personality, you are the one that control your personality. It means please do not walk confidently because you wearing something nice, you have to walk confidently in everything you wear, because it means you are the owner of yourself. Thank youu :))

We Got That Move

I'M BACK Back from a tons of exam, back from hectic schedule. National examination passed half month ago, but sorry for a long tardiness, hehe I'm enjoying this long free time. In this free time, we usually use it for studying to prepare ourselves for university selection test. For those people who already got one, they can feel more relax than the other people. I use this free time to learn a lot of things and do a lot of things, like I can accompany my father's project and learn a lot from that. Meeting a bunch of people and listening to what they say. Beside that, actually I got a lot of pictures and looks but, I think I just not ready yet to post it, and now I'm ready. By the way I want to say Happy Birthday to one of my best friends, Diani Putri Pracasya in her 18th birthday I wish the best and a lots of hugs and love from me. She has been a really good friend of me since three years ago, when we were classmate. And I want to say a lot of thank you to Fary Hendrayana that he helps me to do this during this free time. If you interested to take pictures with him or you want to make any family photos or year book or anything else that connected to the photography, just contact him by clicking his blog: faryhendrayana.blogspot.com or his facebook: facebook.com/fary.hendrayana.

When I did this photo, I felt like having a jazz-country music album, but I think it is close with impossibility hahaha. Beside do some things, I also watch a looott of movie, it means a lot yeah streaming. I watched That Awkward Moment, Charlie St Cloud (I'm crazy with Zac Efron now), Ellen Show, Crazy Stupid Love, Easy A(and also Emma Stone), Romeo+Juliet, A Little Thing Called Love, The Amazing Spider-Man 1 & 2, 27 dresses, and.... I forgot. I can't understand why Emma Stone is so pretty, she change her hair color to blonde, brown, red, and it fits in her and she still pretty. I remember she became a Revlon lipstick ambassador...am I right? Yah the point is I adore her! :D By the way I cut my log hair, what do you think?

MAKE THE PRIORITY These pictures been taken around two weeks ago, but I just edited these pictures yesterday and having a chance and time to upload this today. This month is really busy with school's tasks, the preparation for national examinations, meeting for prom night, and the other things. Day after day passed very quickly, I almost realized that I just have only 3 months before national examinations, college entrance exams, prom night, and in the mid-year we have to start the college. Some of my friends still in Jakarta, and the other else will going to other town, near far. When I was in 5th grade elementary school, I thought it would be a long journey until I'm standing here, ready to face the world and how hard that is, thinking about what we're going to do if something happen. Now, I can feel the differences between I was in junior high and almost graduated from senior high. My plan is going to Semarang, learn law there, and do the internship with one of my favorite designer. I hope my plans run smoothly.

In high school I'm not the best student there, teachers and my parents always remind me to make a priority in my life, but sometimes I didn't do any priority, I just do whatever I want to do. Actually that's not good, for those who already great in making a priority, make people around you makes you as a good example. But the nice part is my parents always support me and I really do love my teachers, they're really act like our second parents in school, we can tell about our problems to them and they will be listen you carefully and give you the best solutions. While we're young, do a lots of things, never doubt to spread it to world, never afraid what people will judge you. Anyway, people always have their own critics WHATEVER we do, we speak, we look, we express ourselves. People love, people dislike, it's common :)

The Red Door

KNOCK KNOCK This week had been a really super busy week, preparing for Business Day (Eldest) in my high school really took a lot of time. Actually this program just started one year ago as the first generation. In this program (and this is required for all students) we learn how to make a business plan, thinking about what we're going to sell to consumer, what the consumer wants, how to make a design product, learn to make a good poster with some graphic design rules, make a advertisement that would attract people to see. And my group decided to sell chicken wings, why we choose chicken wings? Because we think that, chicken is a public consumption goods and everyone can take it easily. After decide what we're going to sell, we started to make a business plan, logo, motto, and collect money for initial capital. After through a long way, and try a secret recipe, we started to design the food box, I try to find an inspiration from behance.net It's an online portfolios from around the world, from the best graphic design and you can find a lot of high quality art there. After that we considering about the price and many other things. And voila! The Entrepreneur Day started to begin.

Beyond expectations the product that we sell was really be in demand, and after two hours our food was sold out! That was crazy until we wait 12 p.m. to bought some raw material in the nearest supermarket and restock again and we began the trading activities at 1 p.m. until 4.00 p.m. we were sold out again and close the stand. Yay! A lot of school think that this activities is quite complicated and takes a lot of time, whereas now we have to concentration and focus for national exam. But the founder of my high school is one of prominent educators and he said this is very important for our future, examinations never determine when we're growing up you're going to be successful or not. However, learn how to build a business is more important than the value that is printed on a white sheet of paper. THAT would decide what you're going to be, and we learnt so much about tolerance, patience, how to make a deal with people, push the output, and many more. From A to Z, we learnt from this. Thank you for the experience :)

BEST-FRIEND'S SWEATER I know Jakarta will not snowing, or even getting colder than ever, or going to be like any four-seasons country. But i's okay right to try something with sweater? I guess you all already recognize this sweater before... Yes! This is my best-friend's sweater, Nabilla. She wore this sweater when we went to Jakarta Fashion Week 2014. If you forgot, you can check and click "What We Were Doing at..." post. She bought this sweater in bershka..I think, I almost forgot. She bought it when she felt not really confident enough with her outfit that day, when I told her, "You're already chic enough, calm down you're pretty!" aaa but she still did that. Shopping. :) After looking around for a long time, at last we found the perfect two sweater, both are crop top, but this is better and you have to know!! Le faux feather of this sweater is reallyyyy soooffttt, I can not stop touching that thing that really really good thing off my hand, and we both agreed to bought that one. Then, I felt in love. With. That. Okay I love you, sweater :)

As you guys know that holiday is already in front of your eyes!! Having three weeks-off is really amazing, you can jump here and jump there, anytime without worrying about le stressful tasks! Hahaha I'm just kidding, no I didn't suggest you to do cartwheel or something like that ahaha you can utilize your time maximally, you can do what you like, or even your passion maybe? Like me, I don't have a lot of time when the school's begin, I mean for my non-academic passion, because it takes a lot of time.. Naaa you can do whatever you want as long as it positive and useful for your life! For the other reason why I love this holiday so much is SALE EVERYWHERE EVERYONE!! Woohoo, this is heaven for us (for those who loves shopping exactly!) but don't forget to check your savings okaay? It is very true very very true about the quotes "The Word 'Sale' is to women, what 'Porn' is to Men." Do you agree with me? :D

Sweet Jumpsuit

LATE POST FROM OCTOBER I'm really sorry for disappearing a long long time. I almost forgot that I still have a lots of pictures from Jakarta Fashion Week 2014. This month was really a busy month because in the beginning of December I had a final examinations full a week, so a week before the final exam I have to prepare it! Study hard, get additions, completing all of the tasks and many more aaand it takes a loong time! So I decided to pause this posting for a while. One of the graduation requirements is making a paper. Then I made a paper talked about How Fashion Could Influence Teen Girls to be Consumptive. Yah kind like that. The progress making that paper takes... around 6 month. Because I had to distributing the questionnaires to 81 teen girls in my high school, and it's really useful for me because I can understand how markets are going, what consumer wants, why the local product still beaten by import products, etc. This is really good because fashion business is getting tough and tough. However, we still got the spirit!

This pictures took at day-4 of fashion week and I went there with kak Fary/kak Hendra, I still confuse, am I have to write Fary of Hendra? hehhe I call him Fary usually, but he asks me to call him Hendra because he love that nickname so much, and I also went there with my supeer loyal best beesst friend, Nabilla Nazihandari and she would be a singer! I'm proud of her :D and in the day-4 I met a lot of people and that day was being a looong tired day, in the morning I went to school after that I asked for permission and left the school and went to fashion week after that meeting and back and forth from Plaza Senayan to Senayan City and Plaza Senayan again and it was tired but it was fun! Take a look of these pictures!

Lazy Tuesday

One week with examinations Today is Tuesday and...after one week full of mid-test, I got one week free and it feels very good, aaah :) yesterday had been really tired day, I had accompany my best-friend (her name is Zidni Fahra-called Zifa) all day long in 4 shopping center in here. Can you imagine? Yeah it was fun and I don't mind to do it again and again. When I went to Plaza Senayan, there was a BIG SALE from metro department! Ah I just want to run and run to get the best things with the best price too! But I have to remind about my savings, it is getting thin and I have to think how to get more money... Then my friend told me to sell my things (like something I can't use it again or even not fits in me anymore.) And I decided to sell my things via online shop. But first I have to unload my closet and it means I have to face with dust, and I know I might be sneezing all the time because I have an allergic with dust :(

Speaking about the allergic with dust, after spending my whole day hanging out with my bf, last night I got sick, having a runny nose, sneezing, and itchy throat. This all must be the cold drinks I drunk yesterday. Influenza is really bad. By the way, tomorrow my mom going to take my report and I scared!! Aaa I don't know how to describe my feeling. Please anyone pray for me please please help.......

White and Light

6 o'clock in the morning I have to get up early to get a great light for these pictures. Without you knowing, I feel very very sleepy (oh my God, bring my mattress so I can lay on it!) but after I see the result, this is worthy! Great! I remember when I bought the outer, it was an event in...2012 maybe.. one of the shopping center in Jakarta, Plaza Indonesia. In that event, many fashion bloggers attend it and sold their own label, such as Diana Rikasari from Hot Chocolate and Mint (product: UP), Sonia Eryka from DIARY OF: THE RIOTOUS BELLE (product: RIOTOUS BY SEM / RIOTS BARBIE), Anastasia Siantar from Brown Plarform, etc. It's all local design and I'm proud of it :D The first time I bought that outer, I was confuse enough, how I wear it. Am I should mix it with jeans..? I mean just jeans.. or I can mix it with skirt? Initially, mix it just with jeans, but as time goes, I learn to make that shirt to be useful, so I wear that shirt to be outer, and voila! Isn't great?

With all of my sleepiness, I failed to keep my eyes open. I spent my whole afternoon to sleep. To be honest, I can not (CAN NOT AT ALL!) fight with drowsiness. If I spent the night to creating something-that absolutely wasting a whole night, I will struggling to keep my eyes open in the class in the morning. It's pretty dangerous if I miss subjects just for sleep. So... is there any solution? :) In Indonesia, school begins at 6.30 in the morning (for public school) but my high school is a private school so it begins at 7 o'clock in the morning. 

The Black Chain

DIY top by me I have a story behind that shirt, and I'm going to tell you yeay:D The shirt was bought when I was in the middle school and it used for my orchestra performance. Initially, the shirt had sleeves, but I cutted it off a few years later because it wasn't comfort enough. Everytime I try to lift my hand it was hold me. I think there is something wrong with the stitching :( After that my mom bought me a sewing scissors and I try to make that shirt to be useful, and after I cutted it off, I'd like to wear it comfortably. You can do it at your home, but I have a recommendation not to do it in my home or use other people's clothes :D

I have been searching for necklace like that since a few months ago. Once, I found it at H&M but, however, very unfortunate, I didn't buy the necklace because of something (isn't it mysterious enough? Hahaha.) And then, once I was going shopping, and found the necklace similar with H&M, it's so much different but, like...one model, you know? -_- It's local designer by the way :D

This is the journal of my life I love to do blogging, it feels like writing a diary everyday. You can tell anything in here, even the most absurd things in your life:) yes, this is what I am doing right now, exactly right now. Today, I had a history and citizenship examinations and it's quite complicated, but I can finish it well, yay! Doing blogging like this, every night is a relaxing thing before starting to learn some subjects. I have some homeworks to do, like physics and...art! Next year I will be graduated, so I have to work hard lately to reach a satisfying score at the end.

Tomorrow, I would like to post/share about New York Fashion Week (maybe I didn't go in there, but believe me, I do not want to miss the most stunning news-in-this-year.) I'm going to search it by googling and I would shared it to you tomorrow :D Can you ever imagine, cool people like Coco Rocha, Anna Wintour, Karolina Kurkova, Kristina Bazan, Aimee, Sonia Eryka are in the same place!! Admire them soooo much :D

Blazing and blessed, it's quite funny right, last night I cried because of..personal things and my PMS(oh common! I don't like it but... You know exactly what it feels, girls? :D) then my bro took me by surprise. He was knocking my door and I...yeah you know what. I opened the door and went to my room and told my mom, her son just came. It's a good news right? I have a photographer on this weekend yay! What a blessings! Thank you God, You save my day :) So in the next day, I took a photos with my bro and mom.
