If this is dream, don't wake me up

Have I told you how great my life is? Im not exaggerate it, but everything seems unreal. I never think that I actually born with passion for fashion. Nor I have specific talent. Seeing a lot of people who is way better than me in any field, I should admit I doubt about myself. But God works in his own way. Ever since I become a servant of God, I feel more and more blessed. Besides that, I am feeling grateful for having a supportive bf. He encourages me all the time no matter how much I complain (he probably feel annoyed sometimes :')

He is a caring brother, good listener and advisor, amusing friend, reliable partner, a talented cook, unbelievable makeup artist, ex-model, fashion admirer, and shoe entrepreneur wanna be. There are still a lot about him that I can't write one by one. In the end, he is mine. My one and only one, RDN ♥ thanks for everything ! :)

**** Nothing IMPORTANT here !

People say, in order to have a better future we should let go the past. I agreed. But somehow it's not easy to walk on the path we barely know. I've left Voice+ Magazine and officially work for Salt n Pepper. I admit, having a new work environment is not easy. I miss my old office desk and the people in there. But life must go on. I gotta face what's in front me.

Miracle in Cell No.7

This movie has just be one of my favorite tearjerker. I watched it yesterday with bf and his sister. The story tell a mentally challenged man who was falsely accused as a murder, and imprisoned. While his 6 years old daughter was later sent to orphanage. One day, he saved a life of his fellow cellmates and his wish of seeing his daughter was granted. It was quite fun at the beginning of the story. And slowly turn you teary.

I'm not gonna spoil the ending here. But in case you are curious about how sad the story is, I can tell you to think about a kindhearted man, who was very generous helping others even when he is treated so bad, his love for his daughter is beyond anything you could imagine, wrongly accused and about to be executed yet he still living his life happily as long as his daughter beside him. Most of all it's because he is a mentally challenged man whom being intimidated

Live like a pearl

"Pearl is a beautiful thing that is produced by an injured life. It is the tear of from the injury of oyster. 

The treasure of our being in this world is also produced by an injured life. 

If we had not been wounded, we had not been injured, then we will not produce the pearl - Stephan Hoeller"

The world is oyster, and we are the pearl.

Plaza Senayan Palm Award 2013

This should be posted long time ago. And has been save as draft for two months. Blame me on my laziness to blog. As I wrote in my previous post, I joined Plaza Senayan fashion competition and be one of the finalists, I attended five days quarantine of Palm Award 2013. Meeting new people whom adore fashion, and made friend with them. It's my very first time joining fashion competition, bet you can imagine how excited I am. Luckily I have Wiha with me, because she's one of the finalist too. I think five days passed so fast. Well, It's a little tired at first, because you know I just get back from bf's hometown before heading for quarantine. But I do enjoy every moment, and I'd rather call it a holiday instead of quarantine.

See how I arrange all my stuffs.

On our third day, we visited Textile Museum in Jakarta. Instead of listening to the guide showing us types of Batik, we were being camwhore around the museum. 

With the forever bestie - Wiha

With the boy Whempy - Ilonkz and Rian

Keep calm and crossed the legs

Me with Didik - A man with his strike pose

Me With Ranti 

Geng Rumpi

And comes the D-day! At the backstage, snap snap and snap!

Well, you can hardly see the dress is way to short for the model. I felt so disappointed about that. Guess I have to work harder in the next competition. Sorry for the image quality, that is all I have.

I am joining another competition, wish me luck ! :)

Beyond fashion

We are living in a world where fashion has took over people's lifestyle and mindset. Great innovation has been invented. Whether it turned out helpful, weird, or extremely unbelievable? Here are some invention beyond our thoughts.

Color-changing topcoat from Orly
It changes the color of your nail polish depend on the temperature. Imagine how cool and convenient for girls who loves to change her nails color every week.

Clothes-spray by Manel Torres
I must say this is a (very) clever invention. Especially for a designer-wanna-be like me. I don't have to do the pattern drafting and most important I won't be needing sewing machine! So I'll just simply spray the liquid on model. Spritz! Spritz!

Morphogenesis 3D Printed Shoes by Pauline Van Dongen
As we have seen many things created by using 3D printer, well the printer itself is already an incredible invention. But when it comes to fashion, I still can't help myself to be fascinated. Those shoes look kind of elastic, so it must be comfort to wear. Moreover, see how fashionable it turned out!

Foot panties
I don't find this foot panties as amazing as the three inventions above. But I still think I should blog about it, yeah because it sort of weird and cute in the same way. What do you have in mind?

As you can see, fashion has been brought to a new whole level. Even there're many great innovations but some people are still prefer the traditional and nature stuffs. The idea of making this post popping up in my head when I read news on internet. How fast our cultural and technology has grown. Remember how Kim K struggles the pain during the vampire facial? Even if it turned out a brighter and healthier face, it still seems crazy to inject your face with your own blood.

Another story that made me concern about beauty these days is Juli from bunbunmakeuptips.com
She is having a common facial treatment, but things just gone wrong. Her sensitive skin is somehow as she described 'inflammed with red, angry pimples filled with pus'. I can imagine how horrifying it is to be her. But seeing how her fans encourage and support her, she must be very grateful. From her experience, it should at least make us girls be more careful doing beauty treatment. Just remember, always be thoughtful before deciding doing something that can 'probably' ruin your beauty even the value of your life.

For Bunbun, I really wish she recover soon. They say beautiful is painful, but is it? 

A comeback greeting

How time flies, it's been almost two months since my last update. Even I never consider myself as a blogger, I still feel guilty neglecting my blog for such a long time. Many things happened lately. Mostly good things. I joined a fashion design competition held by Plaza Senayan 'Palm Award 2013'. Beyond my expectation, I was one of the top 21 finalists. And for those who read my blog (especially Indonesian) you can come to Plaza Senayan, Jakarta on 29th June to vote for me. Even you are not coming (because you're not Indonesian or not staying in Jakarta) you can still help me by sending me your best wishes :)

Another big announcement to be made is I'm no longer single. Well, I know that's not a big deal to be talked about. But thing is, I'm going to visit his hometown. And so excited about that. Which means I'm going to blog about my weekend trip very soon.
