Saturday Nite. Tori Amos. Chat with my busy boyfriend through Yahoo Messenger. Planning and making lists of the things we need to do. Design (things). Commenting on our (though not totally) ruined photoworks. 

Here's one of the (though not totally) ruined photoworks that my boyfriend and I made. We used Nikon FM2n and FM10 on the photos we made, but we think the problem was in one of our camera lenses. I have no idea why, but I still like this photo...though it's one of the most ruined photo of them all.

Grainy photo, splitted frames and that big black dot at the center. But it was a wonderful moment :)

Am craving for these beautiful shawl from Cotton-Ink. I'm flat broke, though..no shopping for awhile *sigh*.

My mother has been sick for the last few days. Am worried. Praying for her to get well soon. Please pray for her also :(

When We Awake All Dreams Are Gone

Last Friday. Went to Lomography Embassy near where I work to get our photoworks results. Then stayed to watch L'Alphalpha's album launching at Heyfolks! The album is called 'When We Awake All Dreams Are Gone', and the gig was made as a small media gathering which then became this private show - involving the media and also close friends. Watched it with friends and my brother capturing their pic. Their performance that night was amazing and fun. The album came out great. Love the whole packaging of the album, it was made as a little story book for children with an extra bell given in it as a bonus, and especially love the bonus CD they handed out for some of the early buyers of the CD. The bonus was a video of the band performing, made by (of course) the talented videographer who is also my younger brother, Dimas Wisnuwardono.

 

All of the photos above were taken with Yashica Digital EZ F521

 

 

 

You should listen to their music. You'll love them :)

Good Life - For Today and For Tomorrow

[Good Life by One Republic]

Have been watching the news for the last few days and all I keep getting are bad news. So many bad things are happening in Indonesia, all the riots, the anarchy, the hatred and seeing people hurting and killing each other. And just today I read another story about the injustice that is taking part in Indonesian law.

As one of Indonesian young people, I know that we all want everything to be better. Better future, more justice and especially, more peace. Let's all keep our positive minds and hope for the best, and give our best to make a better future for everyone. Because the future is ours to make.

"The hope is we have so much to feel good about

...

This could really be a good life"

Tomorrow will be Thursday, the day when the mother of our dear friend, Alanda Kariza, will be fighting for her own justice and fighting for truth. Let's all please give support and prayers for Alanda, her mother and her family. Let's all pray and hope that truth and justice will be on their side tomorrow. Give support through Twitter by giving hashtag #HelpAlanda and spread the word. And read her whole true story here:

God bless you, Alanda. And God bless us all...

DIY - Old to New Black Jeans

I love fashion. And I love shopping. And there's a habit of mine to keep my closet from blowing out with so many things to keep inside. I always take my time to re-arrange my closet every 2 months, and at those times I pick out any items I have that I would never wear again or the things that I am bored with. I then take those items and put them in boxes which then I would either giveaway to any friends or siblings that need or want them, or give them out to charity, and lately I'm selling some of them on my online garage sale.

But there would also times when I find some things that I'm bored with, but instead of giving them away I would just re-design them and make them new again.

One example is my old black jeans from Mobile Power which was given by my late aunt a few years ago. I still like them but the model was too out of dated that I sewed it up and made it to a slim fit model which I love more. I've been wearing them to work these last few days and it is so comfortable to wear.

 

 

 

 

 

What I wear: Beige Classic Tank Top by Nikicio For Centro, Vintage Print Cropped Cardigan by Promod, unbranded belt, DIY Slim Black Jeans, Vintage Pocket Watch by PhieGarage, my Mom's Fladeo Black Heels

 

 

What I wear: Navy Blue Tank Top with Front Welt Pocket by Oneandahalf, unbranded misty purple shirt, unbranded belt, DIY Slim Black Jeans, Vintage Pocket Watch by PhieGarage, my Mom's Fladeo Black Heels

I'm more into local fashion designers lately. I think there are a lot of young Indonesian Fashion Designers that are so much promising and no doubt that I would prefer on having their products than imported ones. Just saying. You can check on them to see what I mean by clicking on some of the image links on the left sidebar of this page.

Birthday Bro

January 28th is my brother's birthday. Our family has this special habit of celebrating. We celebrate everything, including (mostly) our birthdays. The point of the celebration would probably be about gratitude, to really express our appreciation and gratitude  for everything we've been going through on our past moments in life. To celebrate life.

We would usually order pizza or I would make any kind of Italian dish for these occassions, but this time we were all too busy and my Mom was craving to have McDonalds' special yearly menu, Beef Prosperity. So we order McDonalds last night and had the fullest junk food meal of our life.

don't we all loooove junk food?

This is my brother and that's how he got that belly XD

Happy birthday, little brother. Hope everything you do will give you more prosperity in life. Have fun in Singapore!! *saying with envy*
