2nd Sneak Peek of Final Project

Like I have promised! Comments are welcome :)

tons of papers that still need to be detailed and finished. Painful, I must admit :p

For you who haven't heard it yet, I am going to make a children book for my Final Project. What children book? I'll tell you in the end ;p
I suppose it is the last sneak peek that I'd show you guyyss... Too much teasers are not good, yes?
The pictures you have seen above are still half finished; still need to be detailed before going to digital retouching phase. I'll keep the best for the last ;p

I'll see you soon, cupcakes! Hugggssss!!



PS: By the way, I post it in Monday, which if you remember, is my day-dedicated-for-writing-about-dreams. In case you're asking, I tell you that finishing this Final Project is one of my biggest dream this year heheh... Just in case, friend :p 

Widey Flowy Pants

Really love my new wide pants! Sooo comfortable :D

unbranded tie dye shawl, COOLTEEN shirt, Fawwaz gray wide pants, Nevada nude flats

Now I know why Diana Rikasari used to take her pictures in a same background almost everyday... Surely it's tiring to found a nice background each day, not to mention if you need to edit it like I did! Cutting the complicated background, every single piece, with Lasso tool in Photoshop was ewwwhh... (blame myself for photoshoot-ing in front of my motorcycle. tsk.)

I'll see you soon, people! xoxoxoxo


PS: Tomorrow will be about next sneak peek of my Final Project! Do wait! :p

Which Color?

The best color in the whole world, is the one that looks good, on you! 

-Coco Chanel-

Another 'wow' quote that I found during my random browsing. Well, it may be difficult since I love almost all colors! From creme to black, from dusty pink to turquoise... Gold, yellow... ah so many! And I am almost sure all those colors were look good on me! ;p

Anyway talk about experience, couple weeks ago I dared myself  using inner hijab that my mom gave to me. It was lavender. And I was not into the color since it was too girly for me... But finally I started using it, paired with my white paris hijab. And you know? Surprisingly I looked fresh! I suppose I should started using shabby colors by now hehe...What? No, I didn't take my pictures that time... too bad :p

Well another truth is I did some dress up lately. It was because my man was hanging around here for couple days and I was trying my best too look good in him and didn't make him ashamed if we are hangout together. And I guess I made some hit outfits! But again, there is no picture since I was too shy asking him to take my pictures hehe...(I'm still working on my shy attitude near him :p)


I'll see you soon, people! Much kisses!!

Daily Insight

Sure it's a really rare chance seeing me blogging in Bahasa. Not because I'm trying to brag or what but the truth is  try to improve my English skill by pushing myself blogging in this language. At times I must admit blogging with my mother language will be so much easier. There are still a lot of language problem, lack of vocabulary, wrong grammar, which made my English writing is felt plain. However, that's the risk that I must be faced... I really hope that someday, as days go by, I can both write and speaking English as fluent as I am yelling in Bahasa hehehe...

Few weeks ago I read an article in The Jakarta Post. Sorry for not remembering the details, but it was an interview with the founder of Gogirl! teens magazine (if I'm not mistaken remembering the name). It was explained how this magazine, in its first publishing years ago, can stole teen's heart, beating other older experienced competitors. In a very competitive market of teens magazine sure it was a real achievement!

It was pointed out that Gogirl! was placed itself as a friend to teenagers. As an example, when we talked about sex before marriage, the it-issue in teens life. Other magazines that times said it was prohibited, not good and so on. That were common song that we heard everyday if if I might said. I am sure everybody already know about it. But we sometimes we just didn't get the essence, no?

In the other hand, instead of acting like a preach, Gogirl! chose to said about honor our body right. Sex is about honor our body right, that's why we must really sure that we do it in a right time, with a right person. Wow.

Of course I wasn't paid by them by saying such a things, it just simple reading that broaden my mind, even I already left my teens life couple years ago haha... But sure, if I relate it with my major, a precise communication to the market really make a change!

So well, that's another random things popped from my mind. Anyway, please guyss.. give me your pray for my Final Project! I know my parent will kill me if I miss the next graduation... naudzubillahi min dzalik!
Oh and please also pray for my boyfriend. He has been sick for several days and I am tired spend days worrying about him!

I'll see you soon! Ciao, fellas!

Agreed :')

Ah..thank you Kak Andra, for sharing this :')

Drawing Together

We decided to do drawing together! :D

The idea was drawing together in A3 sized paper about our activity that day. Since I was not in my top condition, I picked a little space from the corner. 

And finally,  this is it! :D

The picture cover our day :') You know who drew what.

#Day 24 — The person that gave you your favorite memory

This person is one of them, for sure.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



There was a clear afternoon when I went to do monthly shop groceries. He accompanied me. Drove the car to the nearest supermarket and got in with me. 


He was pushing the trolley and I enthusiastically threw this and that into it, 
I ran for something that almost be forgotten, he waited patiently, 
I asked him, which rice is better, cause everything looked the same... well, he gave me suggestion.




During those times, something magical happened...




That was when I spotted his eyes and we both knew; we were thinking something same
Are we looked like husband and wife right know?


Then we went home happily; humming on our own. Nothing clearer than we think about something same. 



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

He never accompanied me doing monthly shop groceries again. Time never let us, nevertheless I worked with it.
I can't predict the future, but since that time I have been waiting the next shop groceries with him.

And when the time finally comes, I really hope there is already something round in my ring finger. Amin.

Kaleidoscope and Resolution

Am I too late to write about it? Just pretend I am not hihi... Well, if I am not mistaken I had wrote sort of kaleidoscope in last bottom year but was incomplete yet. So lemme give you the full what-I-have-got in the past year. Started with my 2011 resolution, let's check it if I am already marked enough! :)


------------------------------
2011 KALEIDOSCOPE
------------------------------
1.    I plan to take English course again. 
Alhamdulillah, yes I checked it. After spent almost two round in English First I felt enough for my 'basis' English ability. With last status as Upper Intermediate student, I took placement test in UPT Bahasa dan Budaya ITS and next thing I knew I've become TOEFL Preparation student :) The class have just started this early year.
2.    Take French course. 
Not like my English course that went very well, my French wasn't. After took it almost half year, I realized that I still wasn't not highly motivated learning this language. That thing was worsened with the fact that I didn't get along well with the teacher. So, I quit. I think I should find the right time and start learning again (maybe in new place?) if I still wanna speak fluently in French hehe...
3.    Finished my Bandung serial post.. 
Ha! I made it! See the serial here, here, and here :) And don't forget about Bandung's culinary here too!
4.    Finished my first book.
Aw... I'm failed. This year for sure! After I cleaned up all the mess called Final Project ;p
5.    Win any competition in writing/ design area 
Big fail again... Same excuse as number four..
6.    Writing serious literature. I mean poems, things like that. 
Yes, I wrote several poems and sent to Mr Amien Wangsitalaja. I am still waiting the news if my works going to be published in poem compilation book :) I also started writing poem again regularly to refine my literature writing skill since I had been too long writing straight news articles :p 
7.     Build Dear Darla..  An accessories line I've been doing with my mates. 
After my mate, Uut, graduated, of course she was soon busy applying for job. And me? I started working in my Final Project so this Dear Darla was out of our mind for a while. I decided after I graduate I'll focus on DD since I had planned to not working in ads agency or sort of things which will take all my time.   
8.    Arrange my life goals.. I should take it seriously. Bismillah..
I have made it but I renew it in some period of times since, especially this year, there will be a big change in my life, Insha Allah. So I am still working on the best formula :)


So... that was my kaleidoscope for 2011. How about 2012?


--------------------------
2012 RESOLUTION
--------------------------
My 2012 resolution may be sounded simple. I choose only to write the big picture here and as time goes by, we'll see how small others things will help me reach them.


1. Graduate from university. No more deal. Spent almost 5 years here is enough; I should face the after-college life soon; like or not. Bismillah!


2. Getting married.... *my cheeks are suddenly blushing, gosh.. :p* Well, you will see in months ahead the clues (or maybe the sneak peeks!) about this big day! Or should I mention 'the most anticipated day'? :p


3. Having my own full time job. Actually I already started being freelancer since my first year of uni.. But being full timer of course will be different! My plan so far is applying job as reporter in The Jakarta Post. Coolness! :D


4. Writing books. You know it's been my dream since a long time... Writing a book I mean. But I still have no idea what I'm going to write! Well, since I make children book as my Final Project I suppose that is a good start, amin! :)


5. Writing 'serious' literature. Don't worry, I'll stick with my babbling here! But I also decided to spare my time doing more serious writing; that's if I still want becoming a journalist or writing a book :)


6. Post at least one artwork here each month. Even I am so deep in love with writing I shouldn't forget my root as design student hehehe... Beside that, honestly, both art and writing share the same special space in my heart! *duh ;p




That's all people. Hey, have you made your own resolution? Share to me, I'd like to see yours! :)
  

Last Blast

Hello dear readers! It's been a loooooooong time I don't see you here... my fault! Real life has been treated me very well till I have no time to write here... Oh that doesn't mean I just write here when I was sad or what..no..no... the truth is I'm busy as a bee outside so when I got home all I wanna do was just meet my pillow! Hehe... Anyway here I am now, back to routines, so don't worry to not see me in weeks away; I am already here :D

So much things happened when I was doing my hiatus here... One of the best was my man spent weekend here, in Surabaya! Yipeee.. Even it was just two days I was more than happy to have him by my side :D Alhamdulillah... We spent most of the time outside the house, I can't tell you what it is, it's too risky! But sure  I was excited as hell! Just wait for some times more and you'll get the clue! Pinky promise! :D

When we were not outside, we stayed at home, talking about almost everything. Well, to be honest, two days was not enough... but he'll visit me again in next two weeks so I guess I should be patient :D

And... yes, of course, he gave me a birthday gift! Stand for painting and book! Super happy!!

I am ready to be the next Picasso!

I lost my words when I saw the title...  I even haven't married him yet... But sure it's good to do early preparation! :p

..and of course the usual lovely cards :'') Sorry for the silly expression; I was overwhelmed! :p

The funny story about the birthday gift is at first my man wasn't really happy with the fact that I didn't mention stand for painting or easel  in my last bday wishes. The truth is I had mentioned it before in my 22nd bday wishes. But since nobody seems like wanna give me that thing I decided to buy it by myself so that I didn't mention it in my next bday wishes! But my man, who really knew that I haven't bought it, decided to give me that tool, with big hope that he fulfill one of my 23rd bday wishes! So you know how he felt irritated  at first when he didn't found any words mentioned 'stand for painting' in my last bday wishes! Hehehe... So by this post I hope he'd be cheered up! I STILL want stand for painting as bday gift! Of course since I haven't bought that by myself, darling!!!

So I guess that was it... I'll see you later, fellows! Kisses and hugs!

Places

*photo was taken in Dream Island, Bali

I always have strong desire to beaches. Long back then, I always chose mountain than this sandy space; that was when I haven't got a chance to visit any beach except Kenjeran beach (if you don't know about it, please do Google. One of the dirtiest beach I have ever visited, unfortunately :( ) But when I finally got a chance to feel the real beach, I know I always want to go back.

I want to have retreat to these places. A regular retreat to these unlimited-view places. I want to have an every-three-month-trip, visiting beaches around Indonesia. Soon, my friend. Very soon. I'll save my money for that.

Hello 2012

You’re feeling a little sad tonight but you’ll be alright

Before You Cry/ Camera Obscura

I am afraid my biggest wish this year won't happen... Afterall I've done my very best, and I already asked God to give me the best. So, even if that thing really happen I think I'll be okay. I may feel a lil bit said, but I'll be alright :)

Starting New Year with full of optimism, that's called supergirl! :D
