Blogger's Block

Hey girls! (and boys? Doubt it), sorry for disappearing without a trace. Hehee. I'm still here!

I think I'm experiencing what writers call a "writer's block". So a blogger's block. Which is weird cos I don't see myself as a blogger. And my camera is broken. (yea yea always the same old excuse, but it really is.) Hope to get a new one! It sucks not to be able to post cos I've got an idea to make a post dedicated to my cotton.ink shawls which I recently bought.
Hopefully soon. As soon as my camera is working aight!

Anyway just for the sake of not leaving my blog away too long, it's grown mould I'm sure, here I am! I've got a picture of me and Raditya Dika (an Indonesian comedy writer) when he was over at Sydney with his girlfriend, Sherina Munaf + her family a while back. Him and his sister, Yudita were so nice and friendly. Had a great time and made new friends along the way. Awesome!

SPOT ME! (Hint: pink headband)
Raditya is the one in the far right.
Yudit took the pic. Too bad she wasn't in it, she was lovely!

Promise I'll be back

Wanted: This Stylish Girl's Blog Address

OK so recently I was browsing through a folder in My Pictures that I lovingly call "Fashion Inspirations". These are just a bunch of outfit pictures that I got off the Web that I love.

When I saw these 2 pictures, I was trying to remember where I got them from, and I couldn't find a clue. I simply love this chick's style and wonder if any of you possibly know her blog URL, cos that's where I got the pictures from (stoopid me for not saving her blog address).


Umm..Looks familiar to you? Saw the pictures somewhere? Do tell me! Thanks lots guys : )

PS: to the girl whose images are posted here, hope you don't mind. If you do, I'll remove them rite away.

LATEST UPDATE: Yayyy all thanks to the awesomest Diana, I found the girl's URL! Her name is Terry *Hiii* You both are my inspirations : )

Jump pt. 2!

Gosh this one actually reminds me of the outfits worn by a kind of Indonesian mythological creature. If you're Indonesian, you will know what I'm talking about. Refer to Tuyul/Jin that you see on TV shows. Hahaha :D

Yea I've found a cool lil fashionable thing called Looklet. It's basically a dress-up website similar to Polyvore, only that you get to literally dress a (virtual) model up. They will provide you with some models to choose from, and a range of wardrobe, just like Polyvore!

Then the fun begins! start dressing up the model!

It's sooooo cool I'm telling ya. I do love dressing up, but I don't feel entirely confident in dressing myself. Looklet made it soooo simple with the modelsss! I just made mine a few days ago and so far I've got 3 looks only.

Gotta check it out!!! Here's my page, if you're interested.


Happy Lookleting!!!

Jump!

I just saw the latest post on Diana's blog and started wondering how to do a jump photo!

I can never do it right, is there like a special trick to make sure the jump timing is perfect?

Or will you just need to jump billions times to get one right? Hmmm..

Children are Like Kites

I stumbled upon this poem by Erma Bombeck which nearly brought tears to my eyes. It rings true to me.

Children and Kites

A slightly paraphrased version of the original poem by Erma Bombeck

Children are like kites.
You run with them until you are breathless.
They crash – you add a longer tail,
they hit the roof-top – you pluck them from spouts.
You patch and comfort, adjust and teach.
You watch them lifted by the wind
and assure them some day they’ll fly.
Finally they’re airborne
but they need more string
so you keep letting it out.
With each twist of the twine there’s
sadness and joy because the kite
becomes more distant and
you know it won’t be long before
it will snap the fine line
that has bound you together,
soar as it was meant to soar… independently free.
(Source)

I promise to myself, I will not be the kite that soared free. I will always come back to the love that sheltered me from this cruel world, I will make sure that I love my parents as much as they have always loved me. If not more.

PS: Sorry for the lack of updates!! Exams here n I gotta study my lazy ass off hehee : )

I Need a New Bag

I've been eyeing on the black one. What do you think of it? I think it's a lil boring hehehe...And yes, it's a no-brand bag : )

Since I know there are many fashion gurus out there, I'm gonna let you decide for me!

Also, the MOST important thing I wanna ask you is:

Does this bag's design copy any designer bags that you know of?

I'm so sick of those so-called 'Designer-Inspired Bags'!

I think it's just a sugar-coated term for 'Designer-Copycat Bags'

So if you happen to see this bag in some big brands, please let me know! Cos it's only a small Japanese brand.

Thanks guys! Any thoughts will be appreciated!

I Love Plaids

It goes back to wayyy before plaids were all and raging. I've been wearing plaids since I was 5 or 6. Thanks to Mom, I love it all the way till now. And even if it goes out of fashion, I'll still love it.

But 1 very important thing to note, no matter how much you love plaids, you should never ever ever ever ever commit this faux pas.

This picture speaks for itself.

Ciao Bella!



PS: Sorry for the lack of dress-ups. Soon soon.

Comments Problem!!

I just wanna say sorry to some of you who commented on my blog and didn't receive a reply. I don't know what's wrong but whenever I tried to comment on your blogs, the page would just spit out an annoying yellow triangle error message on the bottom left hand side of the page. It simply drives me nutsssssssssss!! The error only happens to Comment boxes with this form

Everytime I try to comment on blogs with the format above, all I get is this

It's too tiny but that circled portion is the stupid yellow triangle and it says 'Error on page' next to it.

Oh what am I to do???

Angrrr

UPDATE: PROBLEM FIXED : )

My Infinite Loves for Adhitia Sofyan Music

HIS MUSIC IS AMAZING
HIS MUSIC IS AMAZING
HIS MUSIC IS AMAZING

It doesn't matter how many times I say it

I'll just sum it up in one big bold statement

HIS MUSIC IS AMAZING

I've just discovered the most amazing, talented, humble singer you can find in Indonesia! Or even in this world! Adhitia Sofyan is a self-proclaimed
"bedroom singer-songwriter who makes music on his bedroom and give them away for free on the internet."

Shan't tell no more. Have a listen HERE.

My Top 3 Picks:

1) Number One - it's made for his wife! How incredibly sweet, even I nearly cried on this song. I think it's the BEST song on the planet. Listen to the lyrics.

2) Blue Sky Collapse - a true reflection of my feelings right now!

3) Adelaide Sky - the most popular among the songs in his album, and yet I'm so-so towards it.

If you decide you like it, go on, download the full album HERE. Wooheee all for free! 100% legal! God bless his sweet heart! : )

~Still everyday I think about you
I know for a fact that’s not your problem
But if you change your mind you’ll find me
Hanging on to the place
Where the big blue sky collapse~

Damn can't get it outta my head!

I Really Don't Want This to be a Trashy Gossip Blog But..

I just had to. After Paris' CAR (I wasn't blogging about her), I have to talk about this little cherub in the form of Suri Cruise. I wonder who styled her? It's gorgeous. She looks even more fashionable than her Mum! She's too cute!!! (image sorce)~♥

Since Winter is Near..

I'm gonna do a winter dress-up. Hm..Not true. It's still summer here in Syd & then there's autumn. But what am I to do when nature's calling : )



Put a coat on



As you can see, I'm barefoot. Still wondering what footwear goes with the outfit..Any suggestions?

Sorry, images are crap crap crap quality. I used the camera from my mobile phone cos my camera has no batteries & I'm too lazy to run out & get one.

Oopsadaisy!

Male-Chauvinist Pigs

OK so today I decided I was bored with my Windows Theme and wanna change it. I searched the net for unique themes

"Windows XP Themes"

To my disappointment, all I can find are blue themes which are worse than my current one! They look like they've been designed by MAN for MAN. Not giving up yet. To further my search, I type:

"pink Windows XP Themes"

and voila! Came across this piece of crap in one the search results (Forum website)

hello, my g/f uses xp and has been dying to find some themes that are "girly" lol... I was wondering without insulting anyone if anyone knew where I could find them for her... Also I really like this Completed Themes forum, I goto that forum b4 I go to pages like themexp.

Thanks!


Greed

OK..Where should I start..

When this Greed (hate that name) person said "Girly" (note the quotation mark). I was thinking to myself.


WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM, YOUR "MANLY" EYES ARN'T USED TO SEEING "GIRLY" THEMES?!!!!

YOU KNOW WHY, GREED, THAT'S COS 101% OF THE THEMES OUT THERE ARE MASCULINE!!! MADE BY MEN (by that I mean Male-Chauvinist Pigs) WHO LIKE TO ASSUME THAT ONLY MEN USE COMPUTERS!

The LOL only added salt to the injury.

The peroxide which is the culmination of my injury will be the following sentence:

was wondering without insulting anyone if anyone knew where I could find them

INSULT, DID YOU SAY? IS IT AN INSULT TO U PIGS IF GIRLS WANT TO MAKE THEIR THEMES LOOK NICE?!

I'M WONDERING NOW WITHOUT INSULTING ANYONE IF I COULD CASTRATE YOU JUST SO YOU KNOW HOW TO RESPECT A GIRL!

Another dickhead actually joined in the girly-theme-bashing by responding

Girly themes?
Look for "Cough Drop", you can't get more Girly than that!

Perfect 10! & by that I mean your IQ.

I'm done with this. This is the ultimate bucket of icy cold water to pour over our heads, girls. Male-chauvinism ain't over for good. There are still traces of them in some men. The proof right before your eyes.

Toodles~

Ramble of the Day: Lust

So I won't deny it. It's LUST. Not love. Love takes a whole lot more than just 3-days meetings & is gonna last much longer.

But I just wish that the pain of being in lust can go away as quickly as the lust itself. Or do I want it to go away? It's kinda nice, having hope that my feelings might be reciprocated. It's nice to imagine me & him like the couple that we saw. Who sat on the rocks in the beautiful beach. That he claimed the possibility of them being close friends who had moved on to a love relationship. It sounded even more beautiful, coming from him.

When being in a transition like this, I so so so so so wish that there's a system in this universe that will match a person to another person. Just that person. The 2 will fall in love with noone but each other. We'll all live in harmony. There'll be no need to experience the disappointment, hurt and whatnots of love.

It's lust. I can feel it. But the fact that it's HIM makes it less casual than a mere lust. His thoughtfulness, charm and coolness somehow impressed my heart deeper than the countless pretty faces that might have fluttered a few butterflies in my stomach. That went away as quickly as my heart telling it firmly,"Get over it." But I don't want to, I really don't. This is a precious person who had somehow managed to crawl his way too deep down my heart. It's like realising that God exists. It's a realisation too, that he might not feel the same way.

Again, it's just lust. Chronic lust. When oh when will it go away?

Berjuta cahaya datang padaku
Menarik tanganku
Nyanyikan lagu tentangnya
Duhai bintang mungkinkah
Yang kurasa
Apakah sudah saatnya
Untuk ku menyukainya?
