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 :)

L'Arabian Rouge

Arabian Night A few weeks ago, one of my best-friends was celebrate her 18th birthday party and she took "Arabian Night" for the theme, especially the dress code. Her name is Nabilla Nazihandari and she is so kind and friendly, I bet you're going to love her at the first time you greet her. Because the theme is so hard, I spent 4 hours more to looked around the mall to find a perfect outfit to go to her party. Initially, I want to take batik but I couldn't find the perfect batik that match with the theme. But, when I went to Zara, finally I found it! It's perfect and match with the theme, so I bought it. :D But you know sometimes people have to think twice I buy something. This is happen to me, like always. The income is not enough to buy this buy that. This is very consumptive but come on! You know it so well how it feels :"D This is not really good for my savings so after this I am not going to spend...any...money...again.......for 2 weeks.

Before that, I want to tell you all, it's been a busy week, because Monday I will have a Mid Semester Examinations. So that is the reason why I'm not posting for...daySdaySdayS (very long time) ago. It will takes a-full-week and takes a lots of time to learn some subjects like mathematics, physics, chemistry, and biology. There are a lots of differences education system in Indonesia with the other countries, and a lots of us (students in here) complain about it -_- haha so wish me luck for the mid semester examinations! :)

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
