JAKARTA FASHION WEEK 2010/2011

It was on November 7th, when me and Rossa Prila (who likes to be called Ocha) went to JFW 10/11 (Jakarta Fashion Week) where it took place at Fashion Tent, Pasific Place. This is the very first time i've seen a fashion show. Big thanks to Dinda PS who gave me her own VIP ticket, nor i couldn't get the opportunity to see the LEVEL1 collections. I heart you Dinda, i really do :*

So let's just say that i'm too excited and a wee bit tacky, i asked Ocha how should I dress to attend this such occasion. hahahha shame on me. Since Ocha always wanted to get into fashion business, she well aware of it and for her attending JFW was the second time so she got more experience with it. FYI, both Dinda and Ocha are the founder of Pretty Odd, an awesome accessory line which had released the 3rd collection. They just made five items each of every design! Can you imagine how creative they are. As a friend of theirs, im proud :D

Heeey back to JFW, the event was hilarious. We got strategic seats to look clearly at the catwalk. And I might say that i like the ambience, such as: the place, the lightings, the music that fits for each of every designs, the crowd who dress properly well, the people who gave bouquet of flowers for his/her designer friends, etc. I even felt the pride for being at the spotlight. Must be an honored as a fashion designer if your designs got so many compliments and the crowd gave you big applause. Wow, Im already waiting for the next year show!!

Level One itself is a fashion district project located at Grand Indonesia Shopping Town which was like a 'home' for young innovative spirited designers with their own indie labels. There are 29 indie labels who competes in Indonesian Fashion Industries (kabarindo.com). So at JFW, Level One that presented its Falls/Winter 2010 collections were split up into 2 fashion show. We saw the 1st fashion show for almost an hour and feast our eyes by looking the latest collections from i.e: Ichwan Thoha, Saint&Sinner, Deer, Ciel, Kaligula, Eight, Naima, Cocomomo, Jouse of Jealouxy, Mimsy, Venom, Geulis, Huntingfields, and Monday to Sunday.

Overall, it was so inspirational even for me who seemed clueless at fashion hehehe. All of the designs are unique but wearable and stylish. Love every details on it and each of designers have their own concept.

Here are the my fave:

tiramisu cheesecake from Cheese Cake Factory :9

Yeaaaay, I just wanna say happy birthday to myself. At November 13th 1989, I was born normal and healthy. And 21 years later, im grateful as i kept along with that. Alhamdulillah. I never meant my birthday is a special day. Nothing really special actually. From my point of view, it was just to remind us what we have done, not done, earn, not earn, and so on. So we could be a better person the next following years. Heem, even though now i grew older, problems will always be a friend of mine. As a human, I gotta solve them wisely enough. Haaaaahhhh, easy to say, difficult to execute. Sounds cliche, but i really hope and wish for it.
The best part from a birthday is you got a lot of attentions by people around you by sending texts, twitter mentions, bbms, walls at facebook, or even a call. So I got so many greetings and birthday wishes from my lovable friends. Thanks anyway, I love every wishes that all of you guys gave to me, I saved some of them indeed :)

Im not gonna tell you what my personal wishes are, let it just me and God who know them. Cheers!!

Btw, there are many awkward things happened right on my birthday. I can't give any details, but I wanna say my special thanks to Ndhoy and Trias. I love you guys :* (not to forget my family)

IDIOT IDIOMATIC

Idiom can defined as an expression whose meaning is not predictable from the usual meanings of its constituent elements; a language, dialect, or style of speaking peculiar to a people; a construction or expression of one language whose parts correspond to elements in another language but whose total structure or meaning is not matched in the same way in the second language; the peculiar character or genius of a language; a distinct style or character.

We already learned about idiom back when we were in elementary school, didn’t we? I found the perfect idiom to express what happened this past five years. This idiom just makes me feel like an extremely horribly awfully idiot. I’m not joking around, this is a serious shit. Feels like you wanna drowning yourself in a big goddamn pool, or choking your neck by your own hands, or cutting your vein in the hand, or laying your body down on a railroad, or else you just sitting with a blank eyes and possessed by a demon. I’ll be a true idiot if I did all kind of activities above. It is clear enough I’m not insane yet. I still can make a difference between the good and the bad. I’m in so much grateful with that. Thank God, I praise you.

Back to idiom, you guys must have heard this, rite? “Where there is a will, there is way”. It means if one really wants to do something, one can. For example:

“Where there is a will, there is way......”

Ways to know you
Ways to be friends with you
Ways to know more about you
Ways to make me liking you
Ways to make me liking you a lot lot more
Ways to make me happy with you
Ways to make me in love with you
Ways to make me enjoying life with you
Ways to share life with you
Ways to get along well after we had a little fight
Ways to make me deeply in love with you
Ways to get along well after we had a big fight
Ways to realize how colorful our love life is
Ways to make us through the ups and downs
Ways to make me madly deeply in love with you
Then
Ways to cheat on me with my own close friend
Ways to make this ex-close friend had a crush on you
Ways to make me feel betrayed so damn hard by both of you

Well, the last three are waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much, isn’t it? What do you think reader? Am I an idiot? I think I’m not reach the idiot level yet, hmm maybe a fool I guess LOL. The idiot is supposed to be the one who already knows he/she is on the wrong way road, but still keep walking on it. He/she still got the change turning back to the right way even there have to be some consequences, like coming late, got tired during the walk, etc. He/she just follows the wind blows, mad people who definitely giving the wrong direction, blame it to all x factor, and the last thing he/she can do is leaving it to the God’s hand even though he/she got at least a tiny brain to think but not using it.

Then he/she just keep walking on that wrong road again because it’s too tempting, too curious about everything and anything in it. although during the walk he/she meets friends, families, beggar, a dead cat, a dead man, dead soul people, zombies, ghosts, monsters, an angel, any kind of creature, he/she doesn’t give a shit, doesn’t care, doesn’t think, doesn’t feel anything except the lustfully temptation to walk that wrong way. Since i don't have the right to forbid him/her, so I think it is a time to say good bye then. I intend to the right way road with friends, families, and God by my side. Well good luck for the idiot, it must be a heavy damage slippery road. Be careful with it.

Am i look like an idiot? Think not. I'm just being a fool. silly me :D

A POSTCARD FROM SOUTH KOREA

the day Yuni went away to Daejeon, South Korea

Please let me introduce one of my dear friend, Yuni Winingsih, who temporarily live in South Korea. Yuni is a bright cheery girl who has a wide gorgeous smile. What i really like about her is the way she can make people around laugh and smile with her natural honesty that she has. She’s good at hiding her own feeling and kept it, you can imagine how strong she is, can’t you? The best part is even she’s not joining some kind of any circus, she never failed entertaining me (sorry yun, I'm just fooling around :p). I hope she felt the good way about me, im so sorry if i ever let you down yuuun.

Heemm the thing is, she got a scholarship to learn Korean language and she’s gonna hang on there until February 2011. Ooh how i miss her badly.... Hehe tell you the truth I'm a lil bit envy for her luck, disappearing from Jakarta for 6 months would be a great heavenly journey for a heartbreak kiddo like me LOL. But of course im really happy for her. The day she took off, i asked her to write and send me a postcard from South Korea hehe. And she kept her promise! Yippiee, i got the lovely postcard at October 5th. Since i don't have a scanner machine, i just had a time to scan it on campus back then hehee. Btw, my mom and sisters told me that this sending-postcard-thingy was a traditional way as if we can easily share stories with any kind of social networking on the internet. But personally, i like this idea instead. What do you think? Am i too old fashioned? Hehee.

Heey, the pic is a view in Thailand, im asking for an awesome landscape from Koreaaa~ hihi

I supposed not to show it to you, but I want to :D

p.s: i didn’t find my cool pic postcard, so i couldn’t send you back yet yun. Be patience please :)

SLOW HANDS

1,142,059 viewed, the video music is also awesome, find it on youtube

Well you know interpol, don't you? Yeah, it's an American indie rock band from NYC. They already released 4 albums; turn on the bright lights, antics, our love to admire, and interpol. Tell you the truth i only listened to antics and our love to admire hehe, i'll download it the rest of it later. When i was on high school, i used to listen their album "ANTICS" which had great songs in it. My favorite was Evil and C'mere. But while i put again all the songs on my cell phone, i'm starting to love 'Slow Hands'. Actually, i didn't get the meaning from Slow Hands itself. Anyone can help me? hehe. Here's the lyric:

"Slow Hands"

Yeah but nobody searches
Nobody cares somehow
When the loving that you've wasted
Comes raining from a hapless cloud
And I might stop and look upon your face
Disappear in the sweet, sweet gaze
See the living that surrounds me
Dissipate in a violet place

Can't you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
We slow hands
Put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself now

I submit my incentive is romance
I watched the pole dance of the stars
We rejoice because the hurting is so painless
From the distance of passing cars
But I am married to your charms & grace
I just go crazy like the good old days
You make me want to pick up a guitar
And celebrate the myriad ways that I love you

Can you see what you've done to my heart
And soul?
This is a wasteland now

We spies
Yeah we slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
Killer, for hire you know not yourself

We spies
We slow hands
You put the weights all around yourself
We spies
Oh yeah we slow hands
We retire like nobody else
We spies
Intimate slow hands killer
For hire you know not yourself
We spies
Intimate slow hands
You let the face slap around herself

and this is Slow Hands as the back sound for the Armani ad with Josh Hartnett on it

THE BEST BETRAYAL

the more i knew, the worse it hurts
just ignore my feelings
the world is yours now
the two of you
Let them laugh behind my back
let them do whatever they want
clap your hands out loud
since the world is yours now
i will step aside
i shut my eyes and act nothing happened
hating is the hardest job i got
i wanna quit and unemployed
i wanna have my own peaceful mind

EATING ME ALIVE

Hey there reader (if there someone is, i hope)

It’s been a loooong looooooooonng time im not posting anything in this blog. So many things happen lately but i really don’t have the mood to write. So sorry guys. Hmm i better tell you as if we’re eating in 5 stars hotel hehee. Where should i start as the beginning heh?

First, the appetizer. i’ve been chosen as a participant for K2N UI 2010 to Sota, Merauke. You know Papua don’t you? Yes, it is located at the very east of Indonesia. Fyi, K2N UI 2010 has 117 participants which will be distributed to 10 different locations at the boarder line of Indonesia. We’ve been prepared for a month, dealing with proposals from 8 routine programs and the program for every each group. Just for Merauke, there were me with another 13 as a team and 2 mentor. We went there from July the 1st until 31st. You may be wondering what the hell are we gonna do in there? Yes, we were doing some kind of social work for people in there, making all the programs succeded and running smoothly. Maybe i’ll tell you guys later on the next post. It was unforgettable journey that i’ve ever get and i won’t regret at all.

Second, the main course. Me and peter have already seperated from 21st August. Pretty shocked anyone? We’ve been together from May 1st, 2007 until a month ago. It was a cruel saaaad story and complicated too. Maybe i can’t tell you the whole story in this blog. The point is, i deserve a good, trustworthy, and a faithful man. Every woman deserves that, rite? But for now, i didn’t get those kind of personalities in him. I can’t describe my feelings rite now, this love made me tear apart. Everything has changed so sudden, including his heart. Fuck it, i wanna forget but still cannot. Well now, still I’m not okay but let the time tunes and God heals me. Amen.

Third, the dessert. Now im in Padang with families (from mom’s) doing mudik! The whole Muslim’s family altogether in. Yeay, this is the sweetest escape that I can get til now. We travel almost every places in West Sumatera. Me and my mom will come back to reality on September 26th later. As for the others, they already came home earlier than us. For two weeks im gone, i think Jakarta will be a mess with or witout me hehee :p

I’ll give the details later ok. Now i got to do some grand design for my own to be implemented. Besides, i have to change my habit and do some adaptation to deal with this circumstances. Hell no, i dont wanna lose my self just for a jerk. Please God make this work *cross our finger*

Love from

Indah

p.s: I really need to take english course again, i’m awful with it :(

looking for the new 'rite guy' for me

meet us through the glass

Hey everyone, meet me and Peter through the glass world. Trapped behind the glass seems like we're in a Coraline movies, lol. but that was scary if it's true. Me and Peter got nothing to do about, so playing around with a machine called 'scanner' seemed fun. And that was true!, SCANNING YOUR OWN FACE WAS SUPER FUN!! I tried a few time, but Peter just once. Why would I wanna do this several times? Some scan result wasn't satisfy me and was a total failure I guess. You could see my pores everywhere, my wide forehead, and my wrinkled lips. That's why two photos was pretty enough to show to you okay heh. See me on the next post.


Btw, the first day of May will be my 3rd Anniversary with Peter. Should we celebrate it? I think it's a must hahaa. Months ago and this past week, I thought about making something as a present to Peter. But until now, I didn't make anything at all. Shame on me. So, I'll better pray about our relationship, "Hope both of us can run this smoothly and more more of love for us." Please cross our finger to this.

MONEY DILEMMA

Talking about money is a never ending story. I want this, I want that and there's no money to make all of that happen. This issue has always irritating me in my most entire life. I think yesterday was the climax one. Don't wanna give the details, I just wanna write some solutions that fits me. I should be ashamed still stuck with financial problem and I have to learn managing my own money at this age.

MONEY
=======================

Money is anything that is generally accepted as payment for goods and services and repayment of debts. The main functions of money are distinguished as: a medium of exchange, a unit of account, a store of value, and occasionally, a standard of deferred payment. (source: wikipedia)

specification:
easy to spent; but really hard to earn

solutions:

1. do not being an impulsive buyer; just get what you really need, decrease what you want, and thrift store kinda help me lol
   
2. do some saving; watch your income and expenses, remain amount of money periodically. After that anytime you can spend it but wisely of course.
   
3. do business; Money cannot fall from the sky and it was no good for you just expecting from your parents. Earn money from your own is a must. Destroy your lazy-feel and start the business with full spirit.
   

Aarrrrggggggghh I really need to work it out for sure. So, who's with me?

kissing the death

got to be careful people, if you're on the road

Carelessness was a good friend of mine until today. And yes, it was no good for me neither for you too. Moreover, this carelessness thing that could occur to us and might cause us loose our precious life really is happening to me. In another word, I've been kissing the death for several times.
I could have died while:

• I was texting a short message when i crossed the road, then motorcycle almost hit me.
• I was riding a bike with full speed then a huge truck almost crashed into me.
• I was screwing around beside the deborah's driver while i slept peacefully and almost endanger all of the bus' passengers including me.
• I was crossing the railway in such hurry then the express train came down really soon and almost killed me.

I could have died too not just because of my own carelessness. I was having twice of car accidents with my family and we all now here safe and sound without losing part of our bodies. Thank God that I'm still alive, that my family still alive. God loves me more than the death, so I'm still here. Hope my carelessness could turn out to be my carefulness. I'm not planning to waste my life just because of it. There are much greater things I could, should, would do in this world. I was expecting that I could live my life to the fullest. If God calls me to meet the death, I have to die with respect and honor that I could fulfill my targets of life and giving the best of it. Amen.
Sounds like bullshit though, but I really am serious on that. So maybe I better just stop talking and do action for the sake of it (praying a lot will help too).


p.s: Hey, what about you? I'm curious about other experiences in life that you've got. Let's share it everyone, tell me about it :)

failure for fly

I've said that I would have gone to Sentul City on Sunday feb 28th, of course for riding the "HOT AIR BALLOON". And yes, I did it!! Not only me, but with Peter, Steven aaaaannd now with my youngest sister, Mayang. It was cloudy when we arrived there and about an hour after that, the rain dropped. It was just a little drizzle though but suddenly they stopped the event. I thought it was not allowed to fly at such a condition like that even only drizzling. We already stood in the line and queue for it. Thus, me and my sister were failure for fly. I didn't mind though, cause our ability to pay was just at 100k and all we're gonna get just flew at average height (not so high enough compare to the building next to it). yeah, just floating -_- BUUUUT, if you had Rp 5million you could fly for an hour and went around the site. We decided to get out from there and wanted to eat sate kiloan. But first, we had to take a long walk (we did it twice first to reach the main site then the second to go back to the car) cause there's no parking lot and even this event provided buses for visitors, it was too full to get in. We postponed sate kiloan and headed to Bogor and took dinner time at Gumati. Pia apple pies went along with us back to Jakarta :)
Heeey, what should i say for the last word? It was nice to have quality time with your siblings and family. Rare moments i should have said. my family didn't like to go to holiday for years. My next agenda now is asking my family to go to real holiday for sure. Oh not to forget, the presence of my beloved boyfie, Peter completed the day ;p
what about you ppl??

Oh, here are some pics of it:

he looked ugly and i was absolutely pretty, don't you think so?? hihi


Mayang Kamilia Muslim, she didn't like being captured to the camera

Steven

i yelled "Mister, mister" to this bule and he waved his hand on me ahahahaha ;p

BREAK MY DAILY ROUTINE

Woohoooo, it's been a very while im not updating, over a month after the last post!! Really I didn't intend to abandon this blog, but what should I say? Time seemed too tight for me. Even now I didn't have any kind of activities that made me busy. For me, the 'busy' word depends with who you're talking to. Has anyone agree with me? Hehee you know, everything I did was just made effin' assignments, jumping mall to malls for movie theater with peter, literally ANYTHING to kill the time. The thing is, I've been through the mid term test (horraaayyyy) and after the test already been done, I got time now. Just sit in front of the computer and type type type ehehehe. All i wanna do is just to break my daily routine, in a good way of course.

Today is Sunday. Nothing special, except there will be my fave cartoon of mine, Inu Yasha for an hour and a half at Global TV hehehe. but today is Sunday at the fourth week of March. Yeah, time for "CAR FREE DAY" everyone!! I really wanted this event could be my sweet escape for the following months ahead, yes a way to break my routine from being super lazy at Sunday. Unfortunately I couldnt make it this time cause I'm afraid I'll be sooo damn tired if this noon (I hope the weather will be friendly), I can really go to Sentul City to see the first time hot air balloon in indonesia!! *crossing finger*

Allow me to tell you my very first experience for bike time at the main street of Jakarta when the previous car free day at 28 february. Me and Peter attempted to do some exercise that can get us sweaty for the sake of our healthy (I love these words hahaa) and another good reason was for hunting photos causes I wanted to send some for photo competition if the result were great enough. We had accompany for the tour, Sony and Steven. So I was riding on my city bike, from Radio Dalam through Sudirman and Thamrin. Peter and his friend Sony used skateboard for the ride, and Peter's lil bro, Steven, took bike same like me. Peter often held on my bike to sliding off the road, so did sony to steven's. Hard for them I guess, skateboard is a non-friendly vehicle for the pavement streets. It's a not so smooth for them to be through and Steven complained about the wheels he got, not so big enough cause it's a seli (speda lipat). luckily, my ring wheels' bike are big enough. hihii

Radio dalam till senayan already made me dizzy cause I just had small portion for cereal in the morning. But after I took an amount of water and we got relaxed awhile, I could still make it, through Sudirman and reaching Monas sounds interesting at that time (couldn't make it though). We finally reached 'Welcoming Statue' in Thamrin. And the street was so crowded with various people. Check out my photos to see.

abang-abang pedagang


i like the tone. but look at the right side :(

four-wheel bicycle ;p

I was left behind by the three musketeers since I took pictures and then the guy from JAK-TV came right to me. He said he wanted to interview people who took city bike at car free day. It was pretty rare someone using this kind of type. So I've been asked about city bike, like; what's the benefit, why am I using that thing, etc. I simply said straight answer cause I need to hurry to find the others. After said apology to the guy, I left. I thought my part at the interview will be deleted for sure. But a friend of mine said she saw me about two weeks after that on the channel and there's no such thing like cutting my stupid part :(

you could see so many stands when car free day

After that, I found the others and we continued our journey until the crossroad after Sarinah and decided to back where it started, go home. we saw many interesting things at our way home.

Nunung Cs show


police show


in front of Welcoming Statue


tempo doeloe community (i just guessing)


hold at your friends


BMX community

We were very very tired. My legs felt like it could loose from the place where it used to be hahaaa. We rested a few time and i really wanted to eat. Mcd Senayan had been choose for the rest and eat area. It's the right place for cooling off, the air conditioner and the food calmed me. I decided to go home soon after finishing the meals and peter accompanied me too to Radio Dalam. The rest would be waiting in Mcd so Peter could pick them up after taking the car which putted around my neighbors. I went home again by my own feet for operating the pedal bike. all I can say was ~~hhaaaahhhh~~ after seeing my house front door.

really ~tired


held on the bike is just like this


peter.peter.

The round trip with bike was like a self fulfillment, such a relief to me. I knew i still can ride even I already been exhausted and after all, I succeed on it!! At that time, I just had high motivation at myself. That's the best part I think. It was nice to have that kind of feeling since Im not used to have it for doing something (too bad for me) oh not to forget, this is the very first time in 2010 i could sweat so many. And the worst part of it was about my skin that looked three level darker than before!! i really dont like that. i forgot to wear sunscreen. how foolish i am.

meal time

So I'm very interested about what you will do to break your daily routine. It's a nice way thing to do if you get bored, needed sweet escape, find some inspirations, or maybe just not being you for a moment. im eager to know it. for me now, riding bike is on my break the routine list hihiih :)

excuse me everyone, let me through
