Why Do I...

You’ve once asked me..why do I love you??

Well I love you because of your charming smile
And how you say hello when I call you at night
The way you sing your favorite song with your not-so-beautiful voice
And how you show your happy face when you play football
The way you hold me so tight when we say our goodbyes at night
The way your lips kiss mine so gently…it makes me want it more
How your snores become the melody of the night
And how you say I love you in the most abstract way

I can go on all night and never stop for there are so many reasons why I love you.



I love you…always have, always will...

the broken skeleton

As a copywriter which responsible for an milk product...I'm forced to learn few things about milk, bones and also calcium.

The more I learn about them (we need 1000mg calcium per day, most of Indonesian women only gets 50% of their calcium needs, our bones start to breakdown at the age of 25...etc..etc...etc) the more I become aware about my bone health and my calcium needs.

Right now I drink more milk and try to do some more workout for the sake of my bone health. Okay...I think I start to become obsessed about bones!!!

still that's not the reason I pick this shirt to work yesterday...hahahahaha... xP





You do believe me right? (LOL)

Pandora Box



I've just opened my Pandora Box
With anger, hurt, sadness, love and hope lay inside

First anger awake and fly away

Then hurt and sadness come to join him

Together they fly freely in the air
Making my lungs filled with anger, hurt, and sadness

With my hands shiver I close the box

Leaving love and hope lay peacefully inside

Return to Neverland

The boy is staring at the window when Peter come flying with Tinkerbell on his side. They both smile at him and then ask "What are you doing?"

"I just feel a bit lonely. I wish I have a friend to keep me company." he answers.

Then Peter flies through his window and standing by his side and says, "I can be your friend. We can play any kind of games that you want! I'll even introduce you to my friends! I'm sure they'll love you."

"Really!!"

"Yeah!! We can play all day long on the forest or even swim together with the mermaid at the sea!"

"Whoa!! That's sounds really fun!! Let's go then!!"

Just when Peter and Tink fly through the window...the boy realize something.

"Wait!! How can I go to your place when I cannot fly?"

Peter and Tink giggles then Tink flies back to his side. Then

"It's easy! Do you believe in dreams?"

"I do..."

Tink spreads a bit of fairy dust on the boy before she flies back to Peter's side.

"What are you doing?" the boy asks.

"Give you something that makes you can fly."

"Are you playing games with me?" says the boy. Then he climbs up his bed and jump and fall on to the floor. "Ouch...!! You're making fun of me!!"

"No I'm not...it's because your heart doesn't believe it. You have to believe it first then you can fly."

The boy closes his eyes and says to himself "I believe I can fly...I believe I can fly...I believe I can fly..."

"Hey...open your eyes!"

"Whoaaa!! I'm flying!!!"

"Okay then...shall we?"

Feels excited, the boy smiles so big that we can see all of his lovely teeth. He then shout to answer, "Let's go..!!! I can't wait to play with your friends!!"

Then the three of them fly through the window, leaving the room empty. The boy has leave everything he owns for something he never has before...freedom...and friends.

Just a Thought...

Some wise words which I got from twitter...

"Never tell someone they can't do something they dream of doing. Never!!!"

..
Ashton Kutcher..

Nice thought rite? So why don't you do that by start telling to yourself that you can be anything...you can do anything...you can get anything that you want!!!
Don't let anything, not even yourself, get in your way on reaching for your dreams! You can be anything you want! Just trust yourself and say "I can do it!".
That's the secret recipe of being success.

Love Me....If You Dare

It's been a while since I write something in here. Thanks to all of the deadlines I'm facing lately, I never get a chance to write about anything here in my blog.

Well...there's loads of things happen lately. Yet I learn one thing about love...that after all we've done for the sake of love...in the end we'll found out that it's just a game. Now the thing left it's only about how you play it and who are you playing with. Ouw...don't forget about the rules. You have to play it by the rules or else..you might end up loosing everything you have.

The thing about love game is...you don't know when you in or when you'll get out of it. You only need to be prepared, cause when love come knocking on your door...you just have to follow his lead and play the game.

So...now I'm asking you all...are you ready for a game?

To you...Women

Before the sun rise...
They were bound to the ground
They cannot stand up nor speak their mind
They have nothing left on their hand
Then that day came to an end
When she came and broke down the chains
We own ourselves now
We can stand on our feet
And can speak our mind
We can do whatever we wanna do
And leave our worries behind...
Let's celebrate!
For today is a day to be remember...
Happy Kartini's day everyone *though it's already two days late...*

Hey Baby!

Hey there baby...
Don't you wanna go outside
To feel the sun shining down your face...
And enjoy the wind blowing down your hair??

Dear baby...
Come out from your hiding place
You don't need to be scared
Nor sad...
Cause we're here
To shower you with love and be there for you

Oh baby...
Don't you know??
Your mama can't wait hold you...
While your papa wants to kiss you

Come baby come...
Come and see the world!
Your mama and papa will love you
And take a very good care of you

You'll be safe baby
There's nothing can harm you...
Cause we all love you...

Me and My Other Habbit

If I were asked...what part of me do most of the job...well *besides of my brain* I'd say my hands. I use my hands almost in every important aspect of my life. I use my hand to write, to show the affection for my beloved, to do the magic with the thing called fashion, and to do some experiment on cooking. Oh yeah....I love to cook! I love to bake some cake or to cook my own meal. Though now I barely cook at all.

Few days ago...again my fingers helps me walking around the web. Then I stopped on a local site which sell some books online. I browse through their catalog and found one cooking book. After trying to find out what kind of recipe does it have...I then decided to buy it. After almost a week of transaction...finally it arrive on my office safely.

I tear the package carefully and voila! There it is!! The book I've been longed for so long...finally I got it on my hand! Can't wait to try some of the recipes!!

tick tock

Been counting the drama I made
Seen nothing but the blessing I get

My tearful and peaceful heart
Being torn and torn apart

Wish I could walk by the sea
To enjoy nothing but a swimming sand

Bliss is to far taken
Yet I never give up to earn

In My Perfect World

Have you ever ask yourself..."what if.....?". Well that words often goes around my head for hundreds and hundreds of time.

what if...
what if...
what if...

Well...you cannot always get what you want and I pretty aware of that. Yet it cannot stop me from living my perfect world (though I can only have it all on my head).

In my perfect world...I can have a tattoo on my back.
In my perfect world...I can have my tongue pierced!
In my perfect world...I won't have to worry about my weight.
In my perfect world...there's just you and me...
In my perfect world...we were meant to be...

*sigh* well...whatever it is...I guess I just have to face it. Life is not fair and it won't be. I just gotta live it to survive it.

Yet I cannot help it to wonder..."what if...?"

A Pixie Wannabe...

Yesterday I decided to get a haircut. Well..actually....I'm kinda not sure on what model should I choose for my haircut. I wanna go with pixie but....due to my very thick hair...I'm scared that that style won't works on me.
Then at that afternoon I grab my things and there I went to a Salon nearby to get a haircut. I walk inside, wait for my turn and then I let them wash my hair before I sit in a chair to face my 'moment'. I sat there for a while waiting for the hairdresser to come and cut my not-so-long hair.

After 10 mins or so I finally face my moment of truth. I just say...well just cut my hair short, do some trap on it and make it a look bit messy. Then I leave it all to my hairdresser's magic hands.

30 minutes pass by and this is what finally landed on my head...


It's not that short...and I still wanna try pixie haircut...


Well the bright side is...I need less shampoo *d'oh!*


And now I think I need some wax to fix my hair haha!!

looking right??

I Went To Heaven in Red

I'm feeling RED today...that's why I decided to wear this clothes...a combination with a blazer look a like dress with postman bag, tights, a pair of flats and a beanie hat ^^



Maybe it's because I have very important missions today...which is....looking for Mraz's second album (yes...I haven't buy that one..) and the other mis
sion would be...go to Heavenly Blush to try their frozen yogurt! Since they first arrive here, I haven't got a chance to go and try their yogurt...so I guess this is my time to go there and try it.

Because it's still new in town...surely I have to compete with many other people who also want to try their yogurt. Well after queuing for about 15 minutes or so I manage to buy one small cup of twist pomegranate and original frozen yogurt with kiwi toping (one of my favorite toping for frozen yogurt) which I think is much more delicious than Sour Sally plus they offer much more taste than Sour Sally! Haha!

Then it's time for my other mission and that is..looking for Mraz's second album and the result would be...FAILED!!! Again...it's all sold out..in every single music store I visited. *sigh*
I guess I have to go to Citos to buy it.

Enough about my mission!! Well today...I accidentally buy a smooth seaweed wash off mask at The Face Shop...along with a compact powder which I need since it's about time to buy the new one...hehehe xP
Okay...this is the mask I bought at The Face Shop today..

It's for combination to oily skin and intend to tighten the pores while minimizing excess sebum production. Ouw and by the way it's a wash off mask. I've tried the mask just now and I think...it's that bad at all. As a matter of fact...I think it really works! And now I'm thinking to buy the peeling gel and toner hahahaha xP
Well If you have an oily or combination skin, I think you should try this wash off mask. In fact...if I'm not mistaken this mask is recommended by Harper's Bazaar Indonesia! So I guess it really worth to try =)

I'll tell you about the powder later on after I've tried it my self hehehe xD

The Tale of Two Sister

This is a tale of two sister who always love to quarrel
The oldest one loves to play scrabble
while the other one loves to gamble
They both live harmoniously
Near the gate of Golden Century
They love to see the sea
A place where they could always be free

Some people thinks they're eccentric
While others dare to think that their style is intergalactic
It doesn't matter what they say
As long as I got my own part to play
Or at least that what's the oldest say

One Sunday morning they go to pray
On a beautiful White Chapel near the Bay
They cry all day long
Because of a man who dislikes their song

When the sun leaves the earth
They both whisper something great
Before they walk together hand in hand
To go to a place where no one can find

Me Do The HAPPY Dance...

Today is a very historical day for me. Why? Humm...well it's simply because today I got a brand new PC!!! Horraaaayyy!!!! It's not much yet for me it's totally okay. At least from now on I don't need to ask my Art Director to borrow his iMac just to choose some VO or to check on something. From now on I can charge my ipod on my own PC and can check on youtube without worrying the fact that my PC didn't have any soundcard hehehehehe xP

I don't get a chance to take some pictures of it today but I promise I'll post the pics asap.

Today is surely a great day for me!! Yeayy!! Off to bed now!!!

In The Mood for a Rainy Day

It's raining again...I know I should've wear my so-called winder outfit. But...since the sun shine so hard this morning, I decided to wear my high waist short pants and a puffy sleeves top (I'm pretty sure there's an exact term for this yet I cannot remember what it is exactly...hehe). I matched it with my mary jane flats and some accessories..so voila!! This is me on a cold windy day.

Saturday means FUN day...!!! And for this Saturday...as usual I go to Kemang to watch my bf play futsal with his office mate. We weren't planning to drop by anywhere so I decided to wear something casual. So I grab my pink tees and my high waist short pants which I bought recently at xsml. Thus...because it's kinda cold outside...I decided to wear my puffy grey cardigan to complete my look. I know...I should wear some accesories also. Yet I just to lazy to put on anything since I'm not going anywhere either haha...!

More or less...this is what I look like today...

Sale aka RIOT

Yesterday afternoon I receive this in my office inbox....


Seeing the first line (which is BAZAAR!!)...me and my office mate straight to think that this is GOD's Sign for us to find another pair of shoes (or sandals) in a more affordable way!!! We were so excited that we went straight to the WTC building at lunch time (yes...we DID skip our lunch to save some time for the bazaar). 

When we arrive we can assume that almost every girl who saw that ad went to see the bazaar. So more or less it's like we are queuing for 'sembako' or well...can I say queuing for some Boybands concert. Hahaha...well more or less...this is what the "SALE" looks like...


The queue...not long after i got in to the place. My
 queue is actually much longer than that.

Bulleted ListThe cashier queue...

And this is what's inside...

what do you think?

Anyway...after 2 hours of queuing and searching for the right shoes that we'll buy, we finally can hear what our inner voices trying to tell us. So we grab our stuff and finally decided to buy these...

Bo Ho Ho

This morning...I find it hard to open my eyes and embrace the morning breeze. I hear my alarm calling me from my dream, yet my dream is trying to keep me away from the reality. In the end...I give up and give myself in to reality.

Then I start my morning ritual: taking a shower, put some lotion upon my face and body, and finally get dressed. Not knowing what clothes should I wear...I bravely open my clothes and start my searching. All I know is...I'm having a 'tights' mood today. So I grab my tights and grab some other thing that likely suits my mood and voila....this is what I'm wearing today..


not bad rite? hehehehehe xD

A Very Typical Question

It's 15 minutes before 10 yet I still sit in front of my laptop, let my fingers dance upon its keyboard. It seems like the "ticking" sound of the keyboard has able to make me feel comfort these times.
As usual...I open my gmail account and also my facebook page when suddenly there's a big question that's going on in my mind...."What clothes should I wear tomorrow?" ha! Okay...I've to admit...it happens almost every single day and it usually end up with me waking up in the morning then spend minutes standing in front of my closet and mirror, trying to find the clothes that fits my mood for the day.

Actually working at the advertising industry you often get a privillege to wear any kinds of clothes that you like. Still...it often confuse me to pick a perfect clothes for me to wear on that day. That's what exactly happens today. Moreover I'll have a meeting with the clients tomorrow. Huumm...maybe this...would be nice...

or maybe this...would also be nice...(I wear them with jeans, leggings or thights for sure...)

(photo courtesy of teenvogue.com)

or maybe something that more or less look like this....

Well...I guess I'd better let my hands, my heart and also my mind colide to pick what clothes that fits for me tomorrow...

off to bed then! ciao!

The Day I Trapped Between Testosterone

Last Saturday night...I was trapped between a bunch of soccer maniacs boys who are trying to watch a match between MU and Liverpool on a restaurant called TRS at Citos. Since it was the only place there who put the match on their TV, so as you can imagine...the place was so fulled with a bunch of guys who was trying to watch the match in which my boyfriend and his office colleagues were some of them.

After waiting for quite a while...we finally get ourselves a seat. We also start to order our own meal one by one. Then when we're trying to eat...the unexpected thing happen. When they all cheering and shouting....one of them hit the table and it makes a glass of orange juice fall down to the couch where we sit and it successfully made my boyfriend's boss' dress wet with orange juice. Ha! Not to mention my boyfriend's expression when MU is loosing the game from Liverpool. Well..whether you believe it or not..it makes him not finish his supper. Ha!

Those incident really made me realize that guys can also be a drama queen...or perhaps can I say a drama king?

Hello...Goodbye..Let Go..

2009 has just start...yet I've experience a lot. I've met new friends and companion...and forced to say goodbye to some of them. Well...we're not that bff thingy yet...they've given me some lesson I never thought I'd learn...above it all..they've often made my days. We only known each other for some time and then we have to go on our seperates ways. It's funny how life turns out to be isn't it? You meet some people at the crossroad some time...and then you'll walk together with them hand in hand for quite a while until he or she decided to go on for a solo. Well..what can I say...that's Life!

You can still be gratefull if the separation is not caused by death. It makes me remember of my first encounter with death. I was only 3 years old and it was my grandfather from my mother side. I cannot remember anything but it was in the middle of the day...I was playing around on the store which my grandparents own when suddenly my grandpa fell on to the floor. Then all that I can remember is just me crying so hard while being held by my mom *or dad...I cannot sure*. I guess I'm just too traumatized *or may I say too small* to remember all of the details.

Well...anyway...as I grew older I begin to learn that life is about waving hello...shaking hands...making some confusing web called relationship *with your babyboo, friends, parents, siblings, anyone*...saying goodbye...and learn how to let go. Umm...let go is not something that's easy to do. I really have a problem of letting go...honestly. It really is hard for me to do that yet...still it's a part of life in which whether you like it or not...you just have to face it. (just like I did recently when I voluntarily let go of my chance to get the Iphone 3G )

After all..life is indeed a roller coaster which right now I'm assuming that I'm on my way climbing to the top and try to keep my self for falling back down.

last...but not least...have a BLISSFUL weekend everyone!!!

xoxo
