The Body Shop: Bag for Life 'Cool Britannia'

Two days ago I got a day of quality time with myself. Went to Bandung Indah Plaza just to meet some strangers and smile (Rayn told me that I have to have this kinda activities more, if you are now questioning why, read my previous blog post). After bought some snacks at Hypermart, I also went to the Body Shop Indonesia at the ground floor. The waiters there are super-friendly. I asked too many questions to prevent cosmetics' incompatibility with my face, but they answered me nicely. 

Things you must know, I don't really like hanging out shopping stuffs. But for these passionately make-ups and other beauty products, I do spend my money quite... like a lot.

Then I saw this lovely tote bag in there. It was made from 100% organically-grown cotton. It was on the hot-list of so many the Body Shop's customers (maybe because it's 'union-jacked') LOL.

I'm wearing Etude LuciDarling. Soft colors but brings much glam.

All Beyond Me

Sometimes I think about a place that is only me who resides. Sometimes I think about how to make a little runaway to a strange town or village, without me taking any gadgets or... problems. Those occasional thinking pops up from my head when I feel so damn tired of everything I do. I mean, that's such a simple feeling of any human, isn't it? Trying so hard to think that everything's gonna be okay with spreading smiles and doing other things. For some people it might work. For the rest, it might be just a motivational quotes posted in an emo tumblr blog.

I had some serious problems about jerking myself to people I love. I mean, I get mad easily, I throw bad words easily, or maybe hurt them seriously. Every time I talk to myself that I am not that evil, at that time I feel myself hurt. It's like I should throw away something but I can't or I don't want to. 

So you heard, I need some serious runaways to get me off of hurting people.

Please forgive me if I (ever) do anything that hurt you so much. That's all beyond me.

 

I think that village in Norway is good. :)

Chuck Morris

Hello! My name is Chuck Norris -- errrr, sorry I mean Morris. My master named me after... I don't know, it's pretty confusing. I am about 3 months old (maybe, 'cause I am not really care about it). I loved to bite fingers, scratch the bed sheet, and sleep under the pillow. My expertise? Cuteness. That's why I loved being photographed. 

What I don't like? Starving! I would ruin my master's works. If I'm hungry, I do anything to draw my master's attention... mostly by walk in her laptop's keyboard and scratch the monitor! Do such things are fun, admit it everyone! Hahaha...

She Knew It Better Than Anyone!

"This life is what you make it. No Matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is, you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember: some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

Maybeshewill "Not for Want of Trying" | The Truth is, We are Still Blindfolded

This song has a great, great point in throwing awareness to our social frame of mind. The song tricks us to listen what we supposed to say to what so called "new world order" (in other words, to fight it) for something they offered us: a brand new life with everything that is so much better. We are not their puppets, we are valuable human being -- as maybeshewill said in the song.

While the unemployed people are craving job and the businessmen scared of losing their job, we do forget a thing: we are supposedly, not controlled, emotionally and physically to those who called themselves (or ourselves) as our saviors. "We have the field you wanted, we offer you future you admired."

Once again, let us think about it. About how we value our life without spitting reality that we are getting worst day by day. Yes, we are getting worst day by day. Our thinking, our insights, and our life. The truth is, we are still blindfolded.

Vivelle Hello kitty Edition

I'm suddenly in love with the packaging of this body lotion. I bought the pink and purple stripe one because it is the only package that I loved. It has fresh aroma too, perhaps, because it contains Virgin Coconut Oil and Kiwi Extract, it also has Clair Clanche-II Whitening Complex (I don't even know what it means).

I don't care about how it smell 'cause as girls, good smell is always be in us. :))

Sigur Ros SG 2012: Finally We Bought the Tickets!

Hello, October the 6th! It was all heavy rain through the days of early October. Finally we taste the smell of petrichor again, after we had enough dust and sweat. 

About Sigur Ros concert in Fort Canning Park Singapore, few weeks ago I told Rayn that I couldn't make it. Rayn maybe has an extra savings for this but I don't. I think that now I don't have job and I could easily bankrupt with all those spendings. :(

But in the end, with a little courage and bravery, we finally bought the tickets. Two concert tickets and two round-trip flight tickets. It means that... we should gain extra money to think about how we could live there. Phew...

I sometimes agree with Rayn's statement that we should be more cocky to get ourselves more productive. At least, we do know how the commitment works. We say it, we make it. And we will be like that all over again, pretending that we're all okay to make us okay. That is what we called it: self-motivation.

How to Pray for Your Husband

AMEN.

Boots Fettish!

I always adore boots. These are my favorite boots I'd like to have!

Tiger Strikes!

After Ireng died (formerly adopted black kitten), my little sister Rifnida adopted a kitten again then later she named her: Tiger Misune. Hell I don't know what it means, but she's very cute.... but also passionately, ill-mannered. She loved to sleep in my boobs or my belly or whatever in body, she thinks it's very puffy. If I get off her, she would sleep beside me. And she loves to bite my fingers! Beware!

Happy Your Day, Dear You!

Rayn got his 24th birthday at September 26, 2012. I was so much effortless to make him a Birthday Party. The problem was, I'm run out the debt. Hahaha.. But thank God, with all that you called as "power of love", his Birthday Party was unexpectedly succeeded!!!

Rayn has ever said to me that he really didn't have much time just to hang out with his friends. All I know, Rayn is such a workaholic-23 years old guy who deserves his fun quality time with his friends. As I believe, he feels that way too. So much pressures on his head to carry, and never been gotten into some-serious and extravagant fun-times!

I realized that I was his only friend to talk to, and he spent his time for me too much. That was not pathetically said, 'cause I know Rayn has so many friends but the only person he could meet is me (you know that me and him has business to run together).

So yesterday, I finally gathered them in one place, in his favorite place to spend the night doing his work, and his favorite friends that he'd like to meet and talk. I was so obviously and tremendously happy to see him smile, as you know that he extremely had no time to share the laughter like that.

 

Rayn and his friends.

Vespa is Vespa

I used to know Vespa since I was a little kid. I used to hate it too, but daddy loved it so much. He said, "So, what will you do if I don't use Vespa to get you to school?" I was, obviously hated its smoke and the engine's noise.

But then I realize, there was something beautiful about Vespa. Vespa has beautiful shape and it's unbeatable. I'd rather ride Vespa than any other 'expensive' motorcycle. Today Rayn brought me Vespa leaflet. And that was a bit hurt. Huhuhu...

Wishlist 2012 #1: A Million Dollar Dream

Until the end of the year, I have to have these things:

AMEN.

Get Kaleidoscope eyes through Movies

It's impossible to catch up stories in a single shot. You could never be somebody else, so you would never know what people thought... and felt. That's why I love movies. In fact, I could be someone else and getting into her or his life. I don't have to do anything but to feel what he or she feels. And it pulls me in.

Like a kaleidoscope eyes, you can see everything in one single view. That's quite amusing and suddenly you'd feel like god in your own world. You know what will happen next by pressing fast forward button, or stop watching at all.

I loved to be in such amazing story of a movie, imagining that I could be that bad, that generous, that simply, in love with the wrong guy. Through movies, you can be something that you never be, or be something that is already you. That's how movie works, anyway. Moving in or out the watchers, drawing in or out their feelings, and in the end, it gives a whole damn brand new story in their lives.

About A Dream and Favorite Song

Gak ada yang istimewa dari hari-hariku di Jakarta, walaupun bagi orang kebanyakan semua hal yang aku lakukan begitu istimewa. Mungkin pada akhirnya aku akan sampai pada satu keputusan bahwa aku memang tidak suka 'Settled'. Pada dasarnya, memang setiap manusia tidak bisa mempertahankan apapun yang menjadi miliknya, untuk tetap menjadi miliknya. "That's not how life works", seperti kata Ted Mosby. Jadi akan menjadi suatu hal yang sangat biasa jika kita tiba-tiba merasa bosan akan sesuatu. Karena hidup memang seperti itu, bahkan perputarannya cepat sekali.

Di hari yang aku gak pernah sangka, aku memimpikan sebuah nama: 'Sondra'. At least sampai sekarang aku masih mengingat bagaimana parasnya, and damn I can't forget the whole story of the dream at all. Tubuh yang tinggi dan tegap, kulit sawo matang, rambut bergelombang, dan mata bulat namun tajam. Dia membawa backpack disana.

I Got Abstract Nails!

I just got Nicole by O.P.I Nail Lacquer Texture Coat and I suddenly fell in love with it!

Now I'm going to tell you step by step applying the texture coat into your nails.

• First of all, make sure that your nails are clean. Wash your hand first in soaky warm water.
• Second, apply your favorite color of basic coat nail polish. Here I used my O.P.I Nail Lacquer "Need Sunglasses", because of it's damn bright color.

 

My Bokeh Nails

polished my nails (finally), in order to kill boredom tonight. I called it bokeh nails because it really is. Quite difficult to capture the blue dots in my nails so here they are now! ;P

Dystopian

I found myself hanging on the wall, and tick tock tick tock I bursted out sound. what did I wait in these cold days, anyway?

I am inside something I didn't expect. Sometimes dream sweeter than reality, so I crave to dream more and more and more than waking up and see hazy world.

Keep me unconscious, would You please?

I need more fairytale to keep me sane.

Ngebet Kawin!

wouldn't it be sweet, having your hand in mine and we walk along the aisle to the brand new life that we long expect together?

I cannot stand to post this. Real damn hard to hide that I really want to get him (officially) beside me, and we live below the same roof. I am 23 years old and unexpectedly, now I am thinking about getting married.

Titik Didih

Rasanya, kedua bola mataku jauh menerawang diantara lampu-lampu kendaraan. Entah apa yang kucari disana. Sedikit distraksi dari jenuh berkepanjangan, atau sekedar riang sebagai teman seperjalanan. Aku lelah terhanyut dalam tidur yang tak kunjung lelap. Menanti detik berikutnya, berikutnya, dan berikutnya.

Ada tawa tersemat di ujung bibir, mengurai cekung diantara pipi dan dagu. Lebarnya seperti ketika kau pertama kali jatuh cinta, kurasa. Tapi sudut mataku enggan menyipit. Aku tahu aku sedang berpura-pura, dan sayangnya, aku menikmatinya.

Aku merasa kosong.
Aku kehabisan diksi.
Aku hanya perlu menemuimu.
Barang sebentar, sekilas melihat senyummu.

Jika jarak enggan bertoleransi, ku tegaskan pada hatiku bahwa pertemuan itu akan selalu ada. Maka, santailah.

Santailah.

Santailah!

Don't Mess Up With Crazy Girl!

Emang bener ya, masalah itu selalu ada walaupun bukan kita yang memulai duluan. ada faktor dimana saya merasa muak pada satu keadaan (ketika saya baik-baik saja) dan seseorang tiba-tiba muncul sebagai trigger dari perasaan muak saya tersebut. jujur saja, saya enggan memulai satu masalah. saya doyannya nonton sebagai third party observer aja. komen sana-sini, tapi cukup dikonsumsi secara pribadi.

lain lagi masalahnya jika ternyata saya sedang merasa 'baik-baik saja' dan ada orang yang dengan sengaja merusak perasaan 'baik' saya. seriously, what's your problem? dan tipikal orang-orang seperti inilah yang paling saya benci. seugaaaan! gak pernah bisa ngerti jalan pikiran mereka, yang bisa dengan tiba-tiba menghancurkan atmosfer positif saya.

We are Arians and We are So Damn Sweet!

look how sweet they are... I love you both, @reniindria & @caisyaah! *hug from Jakarta*

I Have...

this is exactly my fear. yet it is still be my fear.

Perfect Guy For Imperfect Girl

A perfect guy is not a guy you expect to be.

A perfect guy for you cannot think about you 24/7, but he will keep your face inside his mind even when he's with his friends.

A perfect guy is not a blind. He will say pretty girls are pretty, and sexy girls are sexy. But, he will keep his heart for you.

A perfect guy for you is not a guy who strangely romantic just for you, even he is not. He will act as he feel comfortable when around you, with all his silly things he does.

A perfect guy for you is not merely a perfect creature physically. He thinks, "hell, I don't even care about my body." What he thinks about you is how to take care of you: your body, your feeling, your happiness.

SECRETS

been cried for a long time, then two days ago I've cried again. That was not a surprising thing, but all the surprise went to the moment I realised that I am all alone. I was on vehicle and there was raining outside. I suddenly cried and I just didn't know why.

We all have secrets. Untold stories, unexpressed feelings, unbeatable egos. But that doesn't really matter to me, because I don't trust anybody.

Sometimes tireless human is the most exhausted one.

Then I think about this one: maybe this is my limit to feel that I am all okay.

But I don't protest.

I'm just feeling stagnant.

Another Acidic Me

I just need to be 

slapped 

real hard on my face

or 

killed 

without 

any opportunity to reborn.

as I drown inside

the anomalies,

I just missed

to be someone

who has

heart

and feel in

love

normally.

The Best Pessimist

Narsis

Ada yang diam, ada yang berteriak.

Tak pelak kedua kepala berisi sama:

keluhan.

Demonstran menciumi bibirnya sendiri lalu menjahitnya

berharap semua orang meneriaki namanya,

mendoakannya.

Cukup dengan doa.

Ada yang diam, ada yang berteriak.

Tak pelak keduanya mengeroyoki satu kata:

gengsi.

Para biksu menangisi cinta

satu malam sebelum kepalanya botak

berharap esok airmatanya kering dan bisa terbasuh doa.

Cukup dengan doa.

tuhan, dengarkah?

tidak.

tuhan tidak berkawan dengan para narsis.

What We Should Know About SOPA and PIPA

Because I don't really know about SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Adress), so I won't talk too much. All I know about it is when the US senators (republican and democrat) has the same voice against internet products' piracy and infringement around US (downloadable free music, films, etc. that doesn't have any legal permission to be downloaded.

Anyway, what are SOPA and PIPA means?

According to their origins, SOPA a.k.a House Bill 3261 / H.R.3261 is a bill that was introduced in House of Representatives of US on October 26, 2011. As cited in Wikipedia.org, the bill, if made law, would expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement and copyright holders to fight online trafficking in copyrighted intellectual property and counterfeit goods.

Then, what is PIPA? PIPA a.k.a Senate Bill 968 / S. 968 is a proposed law for the copyright holders and U.S. governments to limitate access to "rogue websites dedicated to infringing or counterfeit goods", especially for the sites that registered ouside the United States. It was introduced on May 12, 2011. So we know that PIPA came first before SOPA, because it is as a rewritten former proposal of Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act (COICA) that was failed to pass in 2010.

Woohoo! Can’t believe it’s been a week in 2012! What did you get from these late 7 days, fellas? I’ve worked on (as usual), tight deadline since the first day of 2012. Anyway, I don’t have anything to wish, but that doesn’t mean that I am so hopeless facing the future. I don’t really like making any bullshit resolution without realization. Hehehe..

But, there are so many things I’d like to do in this year. So many big things that I await for. I won’t tell you that, I just keep in my head and try my best to make it real.

So, what would you like to do, fellas?

Have a great great great 2012!

Think positively. Exercise daily. Eat healthy. Work hard. Stay strong. Build faith. Worry less. Read more. Be happy. Relax. Love. Live!
