[The Quirky Little Things]

Finale

2012-02-07T01:42:00.000+07:00

I'm sorry for the m.i.a.

I didn't mean it, really. It just happen and I was need some time to rest my mind. Therefore I thought.. And my thoughts, will be jotted down here, as I need it to be share and state.

For now, I'm done thinking. I finish my mind-naps. Now I'm wide awake and ready. I need to do this. I need to be relieved. I need people to learnt with me.

So here you go..

It was January,30 on 12.35 AM when I finally have the guts to reminisced the moments. No, scratch that. I reminisced it. All the time. Because it's impossible to be forgotten, no matter how hard I tried to replace it. No. It will always be there. The scars, the pains, the memories.

But that nite.. I finally typed it all down on my cellphone.

Hours past. Six thousand words had been typed. And it amaze me how I finally burst into tears. Yes. After what had been happened, it was the first night I cried. I let my tears fell. I finally let it go. Yes, I let myself cry over you.. over what you did to me.. over everything what we've been through.. over this past fifteen months and eleven days.. over this embarassing love story.

I don't even sure if it's love.

August, Friday the 13th.

There I was in my lousy tee after the dance routine. And you, under the street lamp.

August 25, 2010

we finally make it official. And then we live happily ever after.

..you wish.

Time flies and drama comes..

You blocked some of my buddies' Facebook and Twitter. You never allowed me to even hung out or sit with them anymore. I can't believe you get mad just because my guy mates sit next to me. You check all my phones. You knew all my social network's password. I have no more privacy. Your insecurity kills me. So effing bad. Just so you know, I didn't play your game.

Remember when I danced on my Church Easter celebration? Yes, you weren't there to watch me. We got in a fight and we broke up. A day before my performance. How cool is that?

Remember when I finally bought my own camera? Yes, you weren't there to help me even when I cried on my room.

Remember when I finally met my long-lost cousin after years? Yes, you weren't there to calm me.

Remember when me and my family on the road trip and our car got hit by some burglars? Yes, you weren't there to soothe me.

Remember when my dad got hospitalized last year? Yes, you weren't there. I know you're going out with your mates so yeah..

Remember when I was about to pick the little baby girl for my aunt? Yes, you weren't there.

There are too much to be listed, dear.. I'm getting used to your absence. You barely even there whenever I needed you the most. You know how complicated my life is.. and you don't even dare to move in and soothe me with your presence. No, you don't.

And I found there's nothing that need to be hold anymore.

It was January 15, 2011

when we fought again because of my partner in an organization I volunteered. So silly and ridiculous reasons. But hell, it's up to you. That nite, I already make the decision though..

January 16, 2011

You called me in the morning. But I didn't pick it up. I didn't even care. I went to my class for last exam.. and when I'm reading, oh there you came to the class. And you slapped my hand. So hard.

Later I found out that you knew which class I'm in because you texted my friend, right? Oh and you do remember how you cursed, don't you? Jadi siapa yang 'babi'? Aku, mama aku, atau temen aku?

Then you took my cellphone. And I called my mom from my friend's phone and when mom called you, you lied to her. Oh how poor you are..

When I finished the exam, me and my friends were on our way to the lecturers room. And you got me. I walked out of you, but you followed me. And then you pulled my hands and dragged me along the alley. You pushed me to the wall and yelled at me. I cried and had to screamed to my friends so they came and help me.

I hid in the lecturers room and call mom to pick me up. But even when I was already with my lecturer, you came in and pulled my bag, you took my friend's phone too. You want me to go out to talk with you, but because I refuse, you threatened me in front of all the lecturers. Short long story, we finally talk outside the lecturers room. I took both of me and my friend's phones. And I finally, finally, calls it a quit. It's finally over. There's no more us.

Yes, my mom called your uncle and told him what you did to me. And guess what, even your uncle didn't care. He didn't even apologize for what you did. So I wait.. And until now, twenty two days after it all, there's no single apologize from you or your family. Guess the rudeness runs on the family eh?

At first I thought I'm going to cry again when I typed this and I will let it be the last tear-jerker for you.. well it turns out no.

Never mind.

The reason why I finally decide to put this on my blog, because I want this torture to be ended.

You can't be mad at me because everything that I wrote here is true.

So here you go, Christian Louis.

I forgive you. I forgive everything you did to me, to my friend, to my family.

I forgive everything.. no matter how hurt and embarassed I was to had an abusive boyfriend like you.

I forgive you.

And I hope God will forgive you too as long as you apologize to Him.

But I will took this seriously.

If, by any chance, we met again.

Don't ever care to talk to me, even to smile at me.

You're a total stranger to me now.

And if, also by any chance, you keep being stubborn and do another physical attack or abusive things, keep in your mind that I'm not afraid, that I got enough power, evidence, and witnesses to put this case in court.

Thank you for everything you gave me.

Thank you for all your gifts.

Thank you for your patience.

No matter what, of course you've done lots of nice things to me.

And I really appreciate that.

Thank you.

And I hope God bless you and your family.

Good bye, L.

2012-01-01T22:25:00.001+07:00

What is new year without resolutions, aite? So here are my resolutions that I divide into 3 sections, family, religion, and myself. Doing some recap for my 2011 resolutions, I honestly say that I am failed beautifully. :p That's why, for this year, I make it as *real* as possible and way more easy to fulfil.. Please remember that I'm such a procrastinator and I need to get rid of that asap.

Resolution isn't only about wish or to-do list. For me, it's something to keep me *in line* and to remind me what is my *goal*. I've been spending almost a week just to think and jot all in. I still got lot of things to put into my resolutions, but above are the most essentials. Anyway, what's your 2012 resolutions, guys? I'd love to know. :D

Early Happiness

2011-12-03T12:58:00.001+07:00

Last month was a though month for me and that's why, I think I deserve an earlier birthday gift for myself to cheer myself up. So here you go, I ordered myself a pair of shoes from the well-known shoes online store, UP.

Stella is the most famous product of their shop. So I think I'm going to give it a try and order Stella in brown because almost all of my bags are in brown, so yeah, I decide to play it safe and order the brown one instead of the red that I always adore. Here are pictures of Stella showing herself off.

Well now I'm gonna do some review..

About the service

UP shoes are made by order, which takes about 14 working days. I ordered mine on November 11th, so the estimation date is on November 30th. Unfortunately, the package just arrived today (3 days late). But, seriously I could bear with it IF they inform me first why my package comin' late. I know the customer service is not online 24/7, but I think it's gonna be wonderful if they could inform the late of delivery or production (if it happens) to the buyer first. Like by email or tweeting them. So the buyer didn't have to wonder and get mad when they realize that the package hasn't come yet.

I also get some trouble when I asked them about my shipping number yesterday. I ask them once via email, they didn't answer it. So I tweeted them, and still got no answer. Finally, they answer my second tweet and says that I will receive the shipping number tonite (Dec 2nd). So I stayed up late until 12 am, and still got no shipping number. Finally, this morning they gave me the shipping number. Well, well..

About the shoes

One thing that shocked me, the shoes are really light. Trust me, it's really light! When the mailman handed me the package, I was like, 'is this really the shoes?' because it was so light!

Once I opened the package, I was surprised by the color. This brown color is look really like black. I have to look closely to it's fabric to make sure that it was brown. :p

The sizing is kinda confusing. In general, I use size 38. All of my Converse are in size 38. But my heels, mostly are 36-37. I do the measuring like they suggest on their site, and I got 36 as my size. Turns out when I tried this Stella, it's kinda tight. Thank God, the buckles are adjustable.

Overall, this Stella brown is beautiful, versatile, and very light. Plus, I make a note to self to go 1 size bigger if I'm going to shop another UP's lovely babies. But I think I'm going to think thrice to buy anything of made-by-order. I hope UP will open their real store soon. :D

Pardon my pale face. I'm suffering from cold and flu. :(

P.s. : Dear Baby Stella, I totally going to celebrate my birthday with you! :D

Back To December

2011-12-01T22:31:00.001+07:00

It's December, my favorite month ever. Great things happens on December, like my birthday (in 3 more days in case you don't know), my favorite uncle's birthday, Mother's Day, L's birthday, and of course.... it's Christmas, everybody!

source 1-2-3-4

Colorful blinking lights, cute candles, miniatures and statues, Christmas socks, Christmas tree and all the ornaments! I'm totally sure this month is gonna be great. It's December. Again, it's Christmas.

What's your Christmas' plans, guys? Me, I'm planning to take pictures of Christmas' trees on the malls. :D

P.s. : Only 31 days left to complete your 2011 resolutions. Let's check our lists..

More Green

2011-11-29T13:22:00.001+07:00

I overslept and mistaken my class schedule. I thought today class gonna be start on 10..... while it's actually on 8. So yeah, I completely missed a class. But I still came to campus to brainstormed with some friends about our organization.

thrifted long shirt //jeans, belt, and bag are unbranded // shoes from DeTos

I'm off to go to another meeting now. Hope it will be a wonderful one, well it should because the meeting is held on a park! Fountains, trees, bushes, and flowery, I'm coming! :D

P.s. : Since the park is near a swimming pool, L and I decided to go and have some swim after the meeting. Yay yay!

Sweet As Sugar

2011-11-27T22:10:00.001+07:00

Was kinda busy today, well it's all because I can't stop procrastinating. This afternoon I went to the very first meeting of a new project that I just involved. A really big event and I hope it will run well... especially since I was announced as a temporary secretary.

In the middle of the business, still managed to go to Church with L.... although we came late because of the meeting. Sorry, L.. Anyway here's what I wore to Church... and yes, could even snapped some pictures eventho we were late. I'm so a sinner. Forgive me, dear Lord.

Celebrating me and L's 15th mensiversary by having Waffle Ice Cream and watch the Saga: Breaking Dawn.

cute things happened while L and I making our order..
the cashier man : "Welcome, eat here or take away?"
L and I *spoke at the same time* : "Eat here."
the cashier man : "May I take your order?"
L and I *spoke at the same time. Again!* : "Any waffle ice cream?"
the cashier man : "Aww.. You guys are having one heart!"
;D

what I wore :

Nevada shirt // unbranded jeans jacket // unbranded bag //

Nevada jeans // Nicole ankle-straps heels

....and yes, Breaking Dawn is disappointing. I've read the whole Saga after I watched Eclipse. Turns out peope out there are right, the novels are much way better. I guess that's why wise men told us to read more book.. not watch more movie. Word.

P.s. : I know I'm fat, I'm not skinny, I'm not even slim (well I was :p), you don't have to mention it. And no matter how I look, I embrace myself to the bit. I'm not being over-confident or arrogant, but this is me. I love myself. And I highly proud of being me, because dear anonymous, no matter what you say, words couldn't bring me down. So I suggest you to just love and approve your ownself instead of being a coward and saying bad words to other people... who you might have been jealous for. Cheers for our ownselves! :)

No Distance

I can't believe it's been 8 years since the last time you gave me a kiss on my lips.

And now you are 11, we could only share a hug..... once.

Love, no matter what, you will always be our Nathaniel Romero Apulta Siregar.

Happy birthday, my lovely brother.

I pray the best for you.

You are loved. You are blessed. And you know, we will always here whenever you seek. :)

Have you ever feel like your style is not who you truly are? I mean, people see it's you, but you don't think it is you. Like you dressed up for people, not for your ownsake comfort or excitement.

Well that's how I feel right now. I think I'm in the phase where one need to find own style. Own trademark. Own excitement. This is the time to try and get lost... in sake of finding who you really are.

For those who already found yourself, congratulations. You might be not 100 % original, well none is, but still, being inspired and then make some innovation is a big wonderful step.

For those who still or just start the adventure like me, let's have fun! Make mistakes, learn from it, grow up, be wise, and let us find ourselves.

It's way more better than just sit, copying other, and send hatred message. :)

I Can't Breathe

Hi! I'm glad I could save some time (or procrastinating) on this blog. I've been quite busy these days. There are some projects, meetings and assignments going on. But trust me, being busy is awesome. There's also an awesome upcoming project that will took my days. But it will totally worth it! So yeah, I can't wait until it fix so I could share it to you on hereee! :D

Anyway, to refresh my tired mind, here I'm going to ..err... write something... silly. So yeah, my birthday is coming soon! It's next month, actually. But it's kinda soon, don't you think! Time flies, aite? :P Short long story, my birthday is next month, which is December 4th. So I am going to post......... my birthday wishlist!! Yaaay! Silly, I know. But seriously, who doesn't love making list? Especially when it full with lovely and beautiful pieces? :D

Ready or not. Here comes the list!!

Carla 13' bag in coffee brown color from Ciciero. It looks like I'm going to bring my laptop to college everyday, since I hate to bring my bag AND the laptop bag, I really need only one huge bag where I could pile all my things. This Carla bag is awesome.
Stella red from Up. So versatile and outstanding. Plus they now provide us to sent Up shoes as birthday present to someone! Only add Rp 5000,- and the shoes you order gonna be wrapped in wrapping paper with a birthday card in it! Lovely, isn't it? :D
Any kind of blazer. But right now I'm aiming on the black and dark grey since the college requires it.
Taylor Swift's World Tour Speak Now Live CD+DVD. No need to explain. I love her!!!!
Carrot pants. Once again, the college requires it so I think it would be really useful for me.
A choco ice cream pen drive. Ubercute! Plus, I do need a new and bigger capacity pen drive.
A boater hat. Indonesia isn't really a hat friendly country, but I bet it will look cute on a photoshoot. :p
Kate two-tone, again from Up. It got my favorite colors, black-beige-red. Awesome! Sent one for me, anyone? :p
Samsung Galaxy Ace. I've been complaining a lot about my Nokia 5730 XM because it's getting more and more slow each day.
Last but not least, I really want to blew 20 small candles on my very own chocolate tart with my lovely one. Seriously. :D

Well that might be all things I wish I could get on my birthday.. No worry, a cute puppy and a visit to Israel, Melbourne, Bangkok, Hongkong and Philippines are still in my lifetime wishlist. :D

By the way, I'm thinking about making a giveaway. What do you think? :D

I need to recap some slides now. Ciao!

The woman in the middle, which is my lecturer, is one of the speaker on the seminar.

what I wore :

custom made Batik dress // connexion jeans // LC bag

The seminar ended at 4 pm, and then I straightly went to my friend renthouse. Bora was there too! We had a lot of fun, a lot of food (I ate fried chicken's feet a lot), and a lot of yelling and screaming. They don't allowed me to took any pics because the renthouse was a total mess. Boys..

Btw, on that day, I played monopoli with Bora and it was the very first time of me winning! I feel awesome. :p

[Giveaway] Decimal Shoes

2011-10-30T21:21:00.000+07:00

Some classes I took on college allowed (and needed) us, the student, to wear heels or wedges. That's why I've been wondering all over every mall and shoe store here in my town to buy a new pair to wear to college. But still, I found no shoes that fit me and my heart well. Sometimes it's too high, sometimes it's too low, sometimes it's just really not me, and sometimes it's over-priced. How could it be so hard to find a good shoes?

Whenever I stuck on buying something, online shop is the first place I hit. And this time, Decimal Shoes got my heart. Decimal Shoes is an Indonesian shoe seller that already made more than 5000 pairs of shoes that they sold world-wide. They got a looooot of beautiful babies with really reasonable and affordable price. Plus, they also the fastest hand-made shoe store! Seriously, each gorgeous pairs are made in only 7 work-days! Decimal Shoes is the fastest and cheapest hand-made shoe seller, indeed! Oh and the sweetest one, I think.. Because every pair you purchased, they gonna gave Rp 5000,- to the charity. Shopping and donating at the same time! Isn't it amaziiing? :D

The only thing that hold me from buying it because I just can't decide which one to buy first. They are too beautiful and too cute! :p

But this time, Decimal Shoes held an awesome giveaway that allows us, the shoe-lover, to choose one of this four gorgeous babies :

meet the colorful Cindy..

..the sunny Indira..

..the bright Ocha..

and this lovely Jasmine, that I really would love to win :D

Reasons why I would love to win this baby Jasmine are because it comes in my favorite color, brown. Jasmine also has a unique and stand-out design which really fit my style. Plus, I always look for a shoe that could 'hide' my feet because I don't really like when the hot sunray hit my feet, but also not too 'hidden' because I still want my feet feel the fresh air. :p I surprised that this Jasmine really really fullfil my need! The only thing I need now is to have this baby on my shoerack.. She's awesome. I hope I could win her! :D *crossing fingers*

Go check out and drool over their heart robber shoes! Decimal Shoes' website, their blog, their facebook page, and also their twitter. :D

P.s. : Do you realize that Decimal Shoes' products mostly using Indonesian names? They do loves Indonesia and not only saying it, but stating it. ;D

Trip To Their Heart

2011-10-28T20:28:00.001+07:00

Here are some pictures from our last week trip to Duri, Riau. We were attending my aunt's wedding.. but apparently, there's no picture from the wedding, because I was too tired and too sleepy to snap anything. The road trip took about 32 hours. Whoa.. I know.

awesome swimming pools. too bad I got no chance to swim..

my lovely dad, beautiful mom, and their gorgeous daughter. :p

custom made kebaya // longchamp bag // Gabino heels

Me and mom's kebaya are identical. :D

my hair-do. Totally love it. Everyone thought it was a fake bun while it's actually my real hair :D

Duri is a friendly and warm small city. But I really wanna spend more time on Pekanbaru, Riau. It actually took about 3 hours from Duri, but since we stuck in a real bad traffic jam, we hit Duri after 6 hours from Pekanbaru. Sick, I know. Overall, I loooove the experience I got, especially spending time with old and long lost families. It feels great to be loved, you know.. :)

Home Sweet Home

2011-10-24T22:35:00.000+07:00

Hi! Howdy? :D Yes, I'm officially back in town. Tired, but safe and sound. If you read my twitter, you might have known that the night when we were going to Pekanbaru, we have some accident. It was about 1.14 am when a group of drunk men surrounded our car. They yelled and smacked the car. My dad hit the gas directly, but not that fast. There was a men who realized we're going to ran away, so he took a chair (or a stool, I didn't really remembered) and he hitted the front mirror with it. Yup, it's like he threw the chair in front of our faces. The mirror cracked into thousand pieces. Some of it shattered to mom's hand and lap. Fortunately, dad drives sooo fast so we left those silly uneducated drunkers behind.

Thank God, we are okay. Although I fell from my seat and my left knee got bruises because it hit the floor of the car twice (I was lying on the back seat, and when my dad brake unexpectedly, I fell. Stupid I know :p). Overall, we are okay. Safety is number one, right? :)

The shattered mirror

look from inside the car.

There are also some scratches on the body of the car, but the biggest damage is on the mirror. I really really hope those drunk men are forgive by God and repent. Seriously, how could a man be that bad? What if their family being harmed? Didn't they feel upset? :(

More pics and story are coming, but right now, I still need some rest. My back hurts. :p

P.s. : I am really sorry for not being able too blogwalking and leaving comments as usual. I spent this whole day just sleeping and eating. Sorry. Will do blogwalking soon. :)

Hi there! I just finished all of my tasks! ...well, almost. Since the last one is a group assignments, I still need to fix something here and there with my other group mates. But I finished all of my part and now it's time to sit down and relax. Wait, no. I should be packing right now instead of blogging. Tomorow I'm going to go to Duri, Pekanbaru. It will take about 20 hours of road trip (yup, another road trip. boo!). I hope I could survive with no nausea feeling. Amen.

Anyway, boyfie gave me these today...

Yeaaaah.. not only one, but two angry mugs! How cool is that?! Plus, I never got a gift that didn't wrapped by anything except the box. :)) Thank you, boyfie. You made my day.

Give A Break

2011-10-12T22:28:00.000+07:00

I realized I haven't post anything properly here. I didn't even write enough words. So sorry. I just feel really..... different lately. I just feel like I wasn't really myself. I feel like I was being fake. I don't even feel comfortable nor knew myself, yet my friends keep asking my opinions or advices on their problems. I need someone to talk to. But then I got more confused. Where should I start? What should I tell first? Would they listen to me or at least be there to hug me?

Is there anyone in this world that is truly and honestly care with others without expecting something back?

"...You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be,
And I don't want to go home right now.

And all I can taste is this moment,
And all I can breathe is your life,
And sooner or later it's over,
I just don't want to miss you tonight.

And I don't want the world to see me,
Cause I don't think that they'd understand.
When everything's made to be broken,
I just want you to know who I am."

The Apple

2011-10-07T10:47:00.002+07:00

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.

The first story is about connecting the dots.

I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?

It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.

And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.

It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:

Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.

None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.

Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.

My second story is about love and loss.

I was lucky - I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.

I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.

I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.

During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.

My third story is about death.

When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.

Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.

I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.

This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:

No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.

Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.

Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.

Thank you all very much.

Got 4 classes from 8 am to 4 pm today on 3 different college buildings. After that have to help mom to prepared for a worship routine which this week placed on our house until 9.30 pm. Now I'm so tired. My feet are numb. I think I need a pair of new wedges.

P.s. : Yes, I'm just blogging to whine. At least it's kinda relieving, tho.

You might have known that I got addicted to polkadot since last year (although stripes lately steal some of my attention), and I guess that's why I finally decide to tweak my blog layout (again) because I'm bored of the all white and simple layout. So here you go, still dominates by black, red, and grey colors here and there and of course, the grey polkadot background. I kinda love this layout... but I also love tweaking, so yeah, I might not seal the deal. :p

By the way those pretty stuffs above really really make me drools. Especially the dress, the tote bag, the umbrella, the luggage, the buttons, and the ribbon necklace.... mm, that makes all of them, eh? :p

P.s. : boyfriend is sick since like 3 days ago and I haven't visit him. Yeah, blame me. Get well soon, boyfie.

Some pictures when I was chilling out with family after dinner and grocery shop..

top from Depok Town Square // Stylee jeans // Airwalk flats

Trust me, I have no idea why my dad took this picture with weird angle.

By the way, I finally got the newest edition of Sister Magazine. From every female teens magazines I've ever read, this one is my favorite. Beside the fashion and juicy gossips (:p) on it, it got a lot of great infos, tips, some news, etc. It's just unlike another cheesy girly teenage's magz that only contains lots of pictures of celebrities and judging by their 'self-proclaimed-awesomeness'. Teaching your reader how to 'insult' or 'judging' someone by their outfits it's really really not good.

Oh and mom loves Sister Magazine too. She once read another magz I used to buy and she was like 'what kind of magz is this? Why it's so full of clothes? I got nothing from it.' and then when she read this one, she was silent. Oh yeah, she read the whole magazine. Every single page. :D

Back to the business, I stopped buying magazine regularly since last year because I think it's waste my money. But, I usually bought it if :

The cover is my favorite artist.
There's an article that I really wanna read.
It got a huge article of my most favorite artist in it.

This edition, contains all of them! Wheeee! :D Yes, Kristen Stewart (and Robert who?) is on the cover and articles, and Britney Spears' concert is on it too, but most importantly...

A pin up of Taylor Swift. Yaaaaaaaay!! *insert big fan emoticon on here*

Isn't she so lovelyyyy???? :D

By the way, did you notice that accidentally I wore red and white stripes top just like Taylor? .....okay, forget it.

5. My shoes.

6. Me and mom's registration number.

That's my Sunday. The only bad thing is I got a bad bad bad influenza and can't stop sneezing and coughing. The sweet L kindly bought me the cought syrup. Thank you, lovely.

College starts tomorrow. I told you last week that college starts tomorrow, aite? Well actually it has been postponed because of the new student orientation program. So yeah, college really starts tomorrow. I'm getting the nerve again. Bye!

Hi there! So how's your satnite? I spent tonite having dinner out with my family (turns out my food is not as delicious as it seems) and then shop for some clothes (read: my dad shop, me and mom just watch). I manage to sneak a pair of nude socks for myself to dad's cart, tho. Hahaha

Anyway, I finally bought myself a tripod. Yup, I finally got a tripod! Yaaaay! No more need of stacking books or book-shelf helps, now I have a tripod! Well for a prosumer user like me, when you bought a prosumer, you don't get a tripod unlike the DSLR. That's why this euphoria comes from. :p

My fail attempt on light gravity. Hahahaha

By the way, check out my *dad*'s new doll. It's Shaun from Shaun The Sheep. I was the only person who watched that cartoon in this house and my dad was like mocked me for watching those 'childish' movie. And nowadays, he is the number one fan of Shaun The Sheep. Oh and not to mention Spongebob Squarepants too! He is 51 by the way.

Hope you enjoy your satnite, guys! :D

A Small Introduction

2011-09-30T22:56:00.000+07:00

Hello! It's only 5 days, but I missed this blog a lot and I could see that I lost a follower down there :p Well, but this time quietly runaway is got a brilliant excuse. So, here it go... :D

Hahahaha. Oh yeah, baby.. I finally have some guts to made my own online shop and here I am making my dream comes true. Isn't it lovely? To make your dream comes true, I mean. :p

Anyway, my online shop, let just call it TQLT, is selling accessories. As you might have known from this blog, I'm a big fan of cute, quirky and adorable accessories. Well, who doesn't? ;) But my point is, I often received various respond from people I met and saw my accessories. Some of them said it was cute, some of them said it was quirky, some of them asked where did I get it, and some other just stare with curiousity. So I thought, why don't I make an online shop that sells accessories? Why don't I provide them the accessories that they adored? Why don't I share the cuteness and quirkiness with such an affordable price? So here it go.. I made it. I really hope everything will be okay since this is my first time having an online shop. But the most important, I really hope TQLT could make people happy.. just like I do whenever I bought cute accessories. :)

Here comes some sneak peek...

The complete first collection could be found on the TQLT's facebook which will be uploaded tonite at 12 o'clock. :D

Okay, so I guess that's that for now. Hope you love my online shop! Don't hesitate to pay some visit and check out the stuffs.... and shop some too. Hehehehe.. Love you, lovely people! :D

Self-note: next time don't forget to try the chicken cordon bleu. Okay, so I got to make this fast because I need to go to sleep. Yup, buh-bye, staying up all nite long! College starts again tomorrow and I got lots of morning class. Bad news for a not-a-morning-person like me. Trust me, this term's schedule really hectic. I even felt fed up just by seeing it. :/

Well, that's that. I hope you guys welcome Monday with a big smile..... I wish I could too, but well, I still got the nerveeeeee! Wish me luck, guys! Ciao! :)

I Got A Big Smile

2011-09-23T17:44:00.000+07:00

Mom is back in town yesterday. Here are some things she brought me :D

Kening (in English means 'forehead'). A book from Rakhmawati Fitri (Fitri Tropica). This book isn't out yet in Palembang (doh, Gramedia!) that's why I ask my brother to buy this book on Jakarta and sent it here. :p

A nail clippers from Beijing. One of my aunt is just back from Beijing and met mom on Jakarta. She gave me this. Yay! :D

A locket necklace and ring from Forever 21. You might think it's sad, but yeah, there's no Forever 21 here in Palembang. That's why I asked mom to bought me some of its stuff. Turns out me and mom's style are slightly different. But well, thank you, mom. :D

Last but not least, a mouth mask. I've been wandering around every mall in this city, but there's no mouth mask that I like. So I asked mom to bought a cute or simple one. Turns out my brother kindly chose this one for me. I guess he doesn't want me to forget to put a smile on my face. Oh well, whatever. I'm off to have some dinner with family now. And of course, with a big ~~creepy~~ smile on my face. Ciao.

P.s. : Btw, I just read the email from Batten that informed me that I won a 15% discount voucher from Glister and Blisters. Thank you, Batten and Michelle! Now, lemme thinking which lovely piece should I grab..

Being Classic

2011-09-21T20:31:00.001+07:00

Another outfit from my mom's closet.

thrifted top // unbranded pants // FLD heels // vintage Chanel bag

The vintage Chanel bag is older than me. Mom got it from her grandma when mom was like 20-ish and it's still in great condition. I definitely should save for a classic branded bag so I could gave it to my daughter one day. Vintage!

Triple Color

2011-09-19T20:51:00.000+07:00

A new statement necklace I just made. Next project will be a collar necklace! :D

Question of the day : I'm not a necklace-person, but why do I keep making it? :/

Brownies

2011-09-18T20:33:00.000+07:00

Mom's going to Jakarta with brother, so I decide to raid her closet for a moment :p

Both of the top and pants are vintage and belong to my lovely mom. Heels from FLD and the bag is a new baby I got from my uncle (Farrel's dad). It's from Sophie Paris. Their products is so affordable yet stylish with amazing quality. Trust me, I once ordered a bag when I was on junior high and the bag is still in great condition! :D Spare your time to visit their site and save some money to order their products. They got clothing, bag and shoes, watch, accesories, make up, well... basically everything.

She Sells Seashells By The Seashore

2011-09-17T09:36:00.000+07:00

Hello! :D

Have I told you that I really love going to the beach? In the place where I lived, there's no beach. Boo, I know.. Thank God, I was born on Lampung, which has LOTS of beautiful beaches. So on the last day of our quick vacation last week, we visited some beaches.

First we came to Marina Beach. Marina Beach is a real wild beach. It's connect right to the open sea and the waves are beautiful yet dangerous. That's why we can't swim freely on here. Nevertheless, this. Place. Is. Amazing. The last time we visited that beach was on 2003 if I'm not mistaken. It was a beautiful beach. Well it still is, unfortunately, the management is bankrupt so they left the beach careless. Yup, there are no one took care of that beach anymore. Wild plants are growing high and the path is broken. This is really a big disappointment. We stopped for a while, since we really wanna go there plus the view and the sound of the waves are worthed.

My dad

My brother.

Unbranded tee from Matahari Dept. Store // DIY shredded short jeans //
unbranded sandals // Levi's vintage sunnies c/o dad

Isn't it beautiful? :)

We then decided to visit another beach near Marina Beach, the Bagus Beach. FYI, Bagus means beautiful or good looking in English. I wonder why the management chose 'Bagus' as the name of this beach since it is really the opposite. It's dirty. Trashes are everywhere. That's why we decide not too dive in the ocean and just had some picnic and nap under the trees.

Well, that's that, our quick getaway. 5 days isn't enough. I didn't even shop some clothes. :p See ya sooner, Lampung! .....and please let me just use train instead of car. I got sick -__-"

FYI, Bandar Lampung well-known by its elephant. Picture above is an Adipura award in the mid of 5 elephants that step on football. Hahaha

Sing A (Lot Of) Song!

2011-09-16T21:27:00.000+07:00

Had some fun today with girlfriends from highschool! Lunchie lunch together on Solaria PS and then 'going crazy' time aka karaoke on Romantic (trust me, it's the name of the place). One thing that surprised me, my idol is waiting in the room.... on the wall. Gasp!

Wearing : Batwing outerwear from Depok Town Square // Connexion blouse // Nevada jeans // unbranded flat

You might have guessed this one, aite? ;) Apparently, my friends are K-Pop lover.

Today's so fun! We should spent more time being crazy ! Hahahaha :D

What's your favorite song to sing on karaoke, guys? :D

Among The Animals

2011-09-15T21:39:00.000+07:00

Hello! I'm back again with my holiday's pictures. On day 3 (Sept' 10th), we went to Bumi Kedaton Resort. Since I am a big fan of animals, I prefer to wandered around on the zoo with my dad instead of just sitting in the gazebo like my brother, mom, and aunt did. There are a lot of animal I saw on there, some of them I've just saw for the first time, so I'm trying my best to put on the name of the animals. By the way, this is gonna be a post full with pictures. :)

on Lampung's traditional house. Mind the angle of the pic, dad took this.

the traditional dance from Lampung too. My dad took this too. And nope, I'm not dancing.

A honey bear! Children, Winnie The Pooh is lying. He's not yellow. But this bear is sooooo adorable. Too bad I can't hold his hands, see the claws?

I forgot this one. He's nocturnal, tho. And so cute.

Posing with a 'show off' peacock ;D

I'm wearing :

Kaskus Pocketography signature tee // Connexion Jeans // Sophie Martin tote // Converse shoes

Hungry duck.

A deer, of course. Look at his body! Somebody has painted it :))

Ayam mutiara... which means Pearl Chicken in English :P

A Batik Sanca Snake.

Hedgehog. It's not as cute as on the cartoon X_X

Bali Jalak Bird

Cockatoos

Crocodiles

This is the huge one, he's diving so I couldn't get the full picture.

Here comes the best picture on that day...

I never saw such a beautiful butt. Ever. Seriously, you never got a chance to see a peacock's butt everyday, right? Unless you are a zookeeper... or you keep peacock as pet, which is prohibited.

Trial

2011-09-15T17:38:00.002+07:00

Accompanied mom and brother to dentist and optic. The optic located in International Plaza which is where Matahari Dept. Store located. I spent only 15 mins on there in the middle of lovely looking clothes with the 50% sale signs above them and I DID NOT buy anything. I am a winner.

So well yeah, I'm not pretty good on arranging sweet words or poet or anything. Please bear with me, mom. (If you ever have chance to read this blog :p).

Mom, you've been face a long surprising life yet full of miracle.

Other moms would be really jealous if I could ever write tons novels based on your life story. And me? I would be a millionaire if I could finally finished and published the books, though. Just kidding, Mom.

Mom, I might be not the best daughter on Earth, you might be not the best mother too. We fight, we argue. We burst in tears.

But I do believe that God puts me as your daughter in purpose and I hope it's not to make you being a high temperament mother, which you are really not.

Mom, thank you for everything you gave, did, and sacrificed for us.

Thank you is never be enough, I know. I'm so sorry for every mistakes I made. Please forgive me.

Mom, I love you, I really do.

Everyday I always put your name in my prayers, for your healthiness and happiness so that you could celebrate another birthdays with us.

Happy birthday, Mom.

We love you.

Toddler's Day!

2011-09-13T11:02:00.000+07:00

Thinking about making a recap from my quick getaway last week. So here's the day 1.
On the morning, we went to my lil cousin, Tabitha's house. FYI, Tabitha was born in Palembang almost 4 years ago and me and my mom took care of her for about 3 months. She is the first newborn I've ever took care. And now, she is this big...

showing off MY puzzle work as if it was hers.

oh and she is easily getting irritated :p

On noon, we went to Farrel's house, my other lil cousin. He's gonna turn 3 on December. This boy is moooore friendly than Tabitha. His hobbies are smiling, laughing, mumbling, and kickboxing. When we were going home, I ask him if he wanna come over and he said yes! So yeah, I brought him to Kevin's home (my other cousin, which his place are being our shelter for moment) and play with him for hours. When we watched TV together, he fell asleep on my lap..... and pee on it. Thank you, Farrel.. You knew very well that I only brought 1 jeans at that time.

The only thing that bother me now is.. Well, I might already told you that I'm an easy-packing kind of girl, aite? Unfortunately, I'm not an easy-unpacking kind of girl. Seriously, I hate unpacking. My last trip to Bandung last year took me 4 days to unpacked my luggage. Yup, singular.

See ya when I finished unpacking.

Kidding.

The Road Trip

2011-09-07T21:33:00.000+07:00

Things To Do Before I Die [1 & 2]

2011-09-03T20:26:00.000+07:00

Do you guys have any list of things to do before you die? Like a wishlist, but not a usual wishlist that filled with gorgeous and branded dresses or luxury things. Well I guess you know what I mean, so yeah.. What I'm going to talk about is, I accomplished 2 points of my 'things to do before I die' list! Woohoo!!

State my love. -- done! <3
Learn to ride a motorcycle with clutch, not the usual motorcycle ;) -- done!

So here are some pictures of me that taken by the lovely instructor of the day, L! :D

Poor Bella Swan, she learn to ride the clutch motorcycle and 2 mins later she bleed her blood out. While my greatest damage during the ride was my left aching toes.

After lunch at McD with L (of course), I finally got my copies of the newest Looks Magazine! I am really in love with their cover, Taylor Swift, FTW! :D

Anyway, in case you guys who bought this copies are confused about the bonus, the other mags bonus is inside the main mags. ;)

P.s. : Talk about the 'things to do before I die' list, I am thinking about making a real proper list so I could see what else I haven't fulfilled. It's gonna be better, isn't it? :)

Shopping Spree

2011-09-02T23:23:00.000+07:00

Just wondering, how many times did you guys have family nite out in a week? I just had mine. We're going to International Plaza (IP) tonite, which I personally think it's a fashion getaway. It's a one-stop shopping centre that my family always love since like forever. IP has a retail centre, which is Matahari Dept. Store, and trust me, since here in Palembang got no Centro or Metro, Matahari is the greatest alternative. Wait, we don't have any alternatives. So yeah, this is where I slash we bought our clothes mostly, I guess.
Anyway, back to the topic.. The family nite out turns out to be a family shop 'till you drop nite out. We my dad and my brother shop a lot. Seriously, I think they should make a fashion blog instead. After 2 hours and 45 minutes later, I managed to pull out my mom to the woman section. And when the storekeeper tells us that in 15 mins they gonna close the shop, I found this baby. Yes, I finally do a rush shop. I never shop anything in a rush, but when I saw this baby, I know the place she's belong is my closet. So here we go :D

It's only idr 79k. Surprisingly, the cashier is adding 20% discount on it! Yayness! Best spend this far, I guess :D Anyway, here's what I wore tonite. Another 'taking picture on the mirror' shot because I am too lazy to took a proper shot. Sowwee :p

Having family nite out tonite and dad decide to go to PIM to look for my brothere's bag and shoes. When we were on PointBreak and Planet Surf, I am this close to buy a cute blue and white stripes dress from Billabong until I realize, idr 300k for a casual dress it's not worthed. Well it might if you are not jobless.

Bytheway, guess what for dinner? Ah yeah.. pizza. I think I had enough of pizza until next month.

Too Late

2011-08-31T12:27:00.000+07:00

As you could see, above is a video of my favorite Youtube artist that I've wrote about several times here. This time, Alex Goot make a cover of Apologize by Timbaland ft. OneRepublic. I ALWAYS love this song. Honestly, this is a song I'm going to use if I could take a shot to do the dance audition.... again. But then, I guess it was too late, so yeah, whatever.. I still keep the choreography on my head anyway. And just in case you guessing what kind of dance did I do, I've been dancing since I was in kindergarten. I stopped when I'm on junior high and gains more weight because of that :p I start dancing again about a year ago, a gospel dance, for my Church. I do tambourine and solo ballet quite good eventho I never learn anything about ballet. Anyway, I miss dancing since I quit doing it 5 months ago. Well I could took the dance class anyway.... if I want mom to took away my monthly cash for like 6 months. Haha. Nope.

First Time

2011-08-30T20:19:00.000+07:00

I went for some jogging on KIF Park with L this morning. But before that, we had breakfast on McD. And this is my first time having pancakes (or hotcakes as in McD's menu).

This is also, my first attemp on jumping photos. Yay! :D

Stripes Up!

2011-08-29T21:29:00.000+07:00

Stripes Up! by ypragita

I'm in love with stripes and all nautical thingy. I need to splurge for some. Sunny side: 1. There are lots of sale in town because of Eid day. 2. I save more than 50 % of my monthly money from my parent. 3. that's why I deserve to buy something. Shadow side: I'm too lazy to go shopping.

Oh gosh, did I just write I'm too lazy to go shopping? Yes, I did. Something must be happened in my precious head. Definitely.

The End

2011-08-29T20:04:00.000+07:00

It was 12.30 am when the doctor decide to hospitalized him. He had been suffered for taking wrong food that makes his blood pressure and his cholesterol high.

Our Day

2011-08-25T22:47:00.001+07:00

As you guys might seen on my post before, today is me and my boyfriend first anniversary. We're so damn happy, because honestly, the journey is really not easy. But we made it this far, which is means we are too in love on each other. :)
We actually planned to had breakfast on McD and then some jogging in the morning. Unfortunately, since both of us are nocturnal-human, we woke up late and decide to had brunch instead of breakfast. Then we went to PTC, had some window shopping and L bought me new PC games. Yay!!

A really delicious new ice cream product from McD. It got the Koko Crunch cereals and Kit Kat chocolate :9

this is a gift I gave L. He loves Buzz Lightyear while me adoring the cute little alien! :D

We also went to had some swim on evening! Yay! By the way, I haven't eat rice for like 7 weeks, and today, L manage to seduced me to eat his leftover fried rice. After a (not so) long deliberating. I did it. Yes, I ate the fried rice and FINISH it. I guess I kinda miss rice, tho. But it's enough for this month. :)

Well, you guys might think we had a 'weird' or 'unusual' way to celebrate our first anniversary. Well, this is us, I guess. Nothing over the top. The point is, we are together and had so much fun today! That will always be a lovely day, indeed. :)

God, You and I

2011-08-25T22:45:00.000+07:00

His name is in my shed of tears.

His name is in my laughter.

His name is in my pain.

His name is in my heart whenever the butterflies start to flatter.

His name is everywhere I look.

His name touch my innermost soul.

Dear God,

I pray to You,

let his name never fade away from me.

Because I knew, I always love his name.. even since me and him never knew each other.

My dearest Christian,

I believe we both agree that this is not as easy as it looks.

We got bored of each other, argue, disappointed, angry, sad, and another damn things.

But, hey, we made it. We've come this far. We've finish the first lap.

So why don't you and I, holds hands and start the next lap? Together we are stronger, aite?

Happy 'first' first anniversary to us, Tian..

Thank you. :)

Dear God,

I thank You from the deepest part of my heart

for sending him to me, for letting him complete me, for answering my prayers, and for the year that me and him had been through.

If, me and him didn't get the chance for another anniversary, I won't regret anything. This had been to wonderful to be true.

Thank You, God. :)

2011-08-23T22:05:00.000+07:00

Spending these 2 days being spoilt by...

Homemade pastries: nastar (filled with pineapple jam), havermout cookies; and kolak pisang! Kolak pisang is a traditional food from Indonesia. It's chopped banana served in coconut milk and brewed for several minutes. Served cold is better.

I've been eating a lot. I definitely need extra time on swimming.

A Lazy Song

2011-08-19T20:05:00.000+07:00

These past days had been a (not so) gloomy days for me. I've been cheering myself up by spending time with L and making myself busy. In this case, I'm reading a lot of books. I've finished Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse in 3 days, and decided to start reading the last part of the Saga, Breaking Dawn, today. Whenever I read, time flies, and all the problems dissappear. That's why I lock myself in my room and read as long as my eyes could handle. That feels good. :)

Beside reading, today I had late lunch and early dinner with L on Pizza Hut. I didn't eat or drink anything in about 19 hours, so yeah, I'm starving like that. No pictures of the pizzas are taken. :p

Today's soundtrack. A lazy song for a lazy day...

I'm gonna go back to my room and read again. So yeah, see ya til I see ya. Hope you have great days. :)

Verdict from the Twilight Saga : The book is way better than the movies, but still, the dialogue between Bella-Edward or Bella-Jacob is really booooring. Vampire is no good for my health, I guess.

Independence

2011-08-17T10:16:00.017+07:00

Happy independence day, dearest Indonesia.

Although I, honestly, have no feeling of independency anymore. I guess there are plenty of it to corruptors, aite? Well, aside from that pathetic fact, I ~~still~~ always love Indonesia. The rich natural resources, the beautiful landscape, etc etc. I just hope someday, sooner or later, we'll be really independent. So that we all could celebrate our independence day feeling proud of ourselves, our government, our country. Much love for you, Indonesia. You're old. :p

"Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect.

It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

High & Low

Random pictures I took when I was stuck by the traffic. I thank God I didn't forget to bring my camera with me.

I just really love how the sky and the cloud look. So beautiful.

By the way, happy birthday to my little cousin, Kevin! God bless you, bro! :D

Need A Little Heart

2011-08-13T21:05:00.000+07:00

I'm a glasses-lover, thus I think they are need some lovely place to save instead of let them dusty or scratchy. So here we go, I made a glasses pouch. :D

Supplies :

A cardboard as the template
Scissors
Pencil
Ruler
Black felt
Thread and needle

How to make it :

I measure my glasses and then add about 2 or 3 cms.
Draw the pattern on the cardboard.
Once you done, use the template from the cardboard on the felt and cut the felt following the cardboard.
Now fold the felt into 2 parts and just sew the sides. Leave 1 side of it open.
If you want to add a little lovely love on it, make sure you sew it BEFORE you sew the side of the felt.
You are done! Now your glasses is safe and sound ;)

The only problem is, I have approximately 8 glasses. Which is means 7 more pouch, eh? :/
