Jazz mben Senen

Okay, I know most of you don't understand the title except the "Jazz" part. It was a javanese sentence, meaning "Jazz every monday". Yes, means weekly jazz.

I'm so much in love with the city I'm living right now, Yogyakarta. This is the place where traditional culture and art meet the modern future. This city is filled with so much passion of art, graffiti are in every corner, art performance held everyday, heck, you stop at the street light and you'll get to see the street artist performing! and one of the most loved is this show called Jazz mben Senen.

This weekly event is such a doll, I mean, I love it so much. I don't really know who started it first, but for all I care, this event/show is so much fun!

And it's free.

Yes!

Or more likely they'll accept no matter how much you give them, when the show starts there'll be a box rolling for you to put your money to, and no, they won't hate you even if you don't put any, they won't know and care that much anyway.

If you come here to my city and decide to make me your guest, I will make sure you come to this show at least once.

It's a crowded crowd. Which I love, even if I come alone, I will find my friends there (not that I ever come there alone, though).

Basically all we have is some bands having their jam session, having fun and all. They're practicing and they share it with us. I love how sometimes even the singer doesn't remember the lyrics of the song and just go nah-nah-nah... and a view of the vocalist holding their cellphone while singing is a common view, why, you ask? Well.. they're looking at the lyric via google! :D

It's not a huge gig, but it's a crowded one. With the MCs being so friendly and crazy, although I think you won't understand since they speak fully Indonesian. The MCs, they're not only MCs but also part of the bands. One play sax, another is a vocalist and the other is a.. drummer, I guess? (I kinda forgot, sorry!)

Every once a month they'll have a themed performance, the newest one was yesterday, they sang The Beatles' and I have to say I pouted all night because I couldn't go there, blame the exam! I've been waiting for them to cover Beatles for so long and when they finally did, I couldn't go? What kind of torture is it??? *cries in the corner*

See the crowd?

So I'll leave this post with a little glimpe of the show, make sure to contact me when you wanted to go there ;)

They sang "Yogyakarta", which is actually the name of this city. I love how the crowd sang with them, and how they did stand up when the vocalist asked them to. I love everything about this city, to its little bits.

Anyway, I can smell giveaway coming up this blog really soon, who's excited? raise your hands! :D

I challenge myself

Let's see.. here I am again, wanting to write again, with so many things in my head, yes.. again. So I decided to challenge myself to talk just about anything I found randomly in my tumblr. So you see, tumblr has this "shuffle" icon which will lead me to random post, so I'm gonna click it and see what's the story behind the post, why did I reblog that and such, interesting enough? no? lol, let's see...

~Tuesday, September 28~

Let's see... the things I don't like around here is that I don't know the year.. and I'm too lazy to check whih year has its September 28 on Tuesday. So I'm not really sure what was happening, but I'm guessing it should be around... the break up? I remember breaking up with my last ex at around August, so I guess I'm still heartbroken in September? Yeah, that must be it.

And I think, if that's not for that reason, it might be because the picture is pretty, lol. I mean look at the photograph! The colors! It's lovely, right? ;)

~Monday, February 28~

Okay this is not really interesting, but that's my headphone and I have two, one in blue and another in red. But I think I broke them two already and now I miss listening to music with full blast on. /sobs/  I mean, I can't go on without music really. This is bad, the time I enjoy the most is when I drive and listen to music along the way, I think it's the same to us all, right?

~Saturday, August 14~

Aww... Isn't this very true? I'm such a sucker for lines like these... the word 'forever' and 'the rest of your life' got me. I mean, I know that's a very very long time. And the I'll start to think to spend it with someone I love, someone I adore, then I'll think.. like what they say in cheesy romantic songs, "forever isn't enough".

I want to have it like that, I know I won't spend the rest of my life all lovey-dovey and romantic filled with smoochies and hugs and pillow talks. I know there must be days when I fight, when we wrestle, when I'll cry, when I'll blame him for whatever he does (or doesn't)... but still, thinking about that excites me even more.

How fun!

I still do, hahaha... even when we were in a relationship, my ex's wallpaper wasn't me /sigh/. And it's such a sweet thing to think that someone actually does stare at your face everytime they open their phone. Okay, maybe I shall limit this only to my boyfriend, it would be a little too creepy to have someone I don't know have my face in their phones, let alone set it as their wallpaper /shudders/

cinta pertama tiara

hahaha… judulnya cinta pertama, padahal sampe sekarang masih nggak tau cinta itu apa… mungkin akan jauh lebih tepat kalo judulnya ‘kecengan pertama tiara’ okok, kebanyakan intro, langsung saja… (read more)

Okay, so this post was written in Indonesian and... it was about my first love. I was story telling... hahaha... oh gosh /facepalm/ this is embarassing but not really hahaha... Okay, I shall retell the story in english I guess..

I was 5-6 year old (yes, what?) I lived in Bandung, capital of west java (I moved a lot when I was a kid). So once upon a time, there was this little boy, my classmate. Like other little boys he loved running and played hide and seek with his/our friends. And he fell, and he cried, like a baby (which he was).

I was in the cafeteria, waiting for my... how do you call it, school bus? Yeah, something like that. So yeah, I bought MnM and I saw him falling and crying and being the good kid that I am I gave him my MnM, all of them, he thanked me and he gave me my MnM, the red one (and he ate the rest, really).

And I fell in love.

Because of MnM, which was actually mine.

Lol, this doesn't make sense, but love never makes enough sense (if you can call it love), let alone some random feelings a 5 year old kid had. So yeah...

Few weeks later I moved from that school to another city, I didn't even feel sad. hahahahaaha...

Okay, so this is actually quite fun, walking down the memory lane is definitely one of my hobbies. I love how cheesy I could get sometime when I fell in love and how... depressed I sound when I got my heart broken, I believe in what Steve Jobs one said about connecting the dots... something about what happened in the past makes you who you are now, yeah... something like that.

Will be back later, hopefully with something more interesting :)

on a little Bigbang and doodles

So.. anyone missed me? This must be my worst blogger block in my history, seriously! I love writing and I have heaps of things I want to share to you but when it comes to write it down... they all disappeared! see! I even lost my charm in writing! *cries in the corner*

I'll just speak random things here, I seriously need to blog more and this shall be the start of the 'starting all over again'. I hope I didn't lose that much of followers, I'm pretty sure I did, though. Is it only me or blogger has lost its charm, too? I mean... okay, maybe it's only me who's not around much and so left so far behind the fun wagon.

Anywaaay.. what should I be talking about here? I've ranted for about two paragraphs and I'm on my third right now, lol. Okay, so I didn't plan anything to write before I started typing... heh, this is what comes out of my little cluttered mind.

I missed writing, and sharing my thoughts which seems to be harder lately, especially because I didn't do it much anymore so it's kinda dull, I need to sharpen it again. Here I am doing that and I think you just rolled your eyes reading it hahaah...

Okay, let's start with... uh, what? I would love to talk about Bigbang (no, not Bigbang theory, this one is the one and only Korean boyband I love) but I think my readers aren't so into it, so maybe we shall move on to talk about me (hah! like it's anything more interesting than Bigbang...)

Ah, I know.. I'd love to share to you... what my notebook looks like.. I mean, with all the messy handwriting and all... the most important thing.. is the doodle, hahaah...

Bigbang is VIP, lol yes.

uh.. Okay, so you see that.. I even doodled Bigbang stuff over there, a proud VIP (the name they gave to Bigbang's fan) here.

Wow, fantastic baby! Boom Shakalaka

I think I drew more than wrote about what the professor was actually talking about, seriously.. oh gosh, hahahaha... and the drawings are just so.. random. period.

Okay, those are written in indonesian, yeah... and did you see that little splotch at the top of my book? ;__: it was wet... my pretty book isn't so pretty anymore... and EI stands for Entrepreneurship and Innovation, a class I took.

So basically I wrote things both in indonesian and english, just because. lol.

Yeah, my notebook is colorful, and I actually made it myself (proud baby over here) heh. I love writing in colorful paper, way better than lined paper. Plus, it's easier to draw on it because it has no line, hahah...

Anyway this post is totally.. what do you say? Boring? hahah.. at least those are a little sneak peek to my life (which is as exciting as a cold potato, yay.)

But all in all, I love to be back blogging! YAY! I missed you all guys! Give me some love! *group hug*

start the countdown already

So my birthday is coming in like... uh... 5 hours? Yeah, 23 soon and I'm not sure how I feel. I am happy, sure thing, but I am pretty disappointed, why haven't I reach much when I'm already this old? I need to be more productive, meet more people, know more things, learn more, feel more... *pouts* why do I feel like I am not going anywhere?

So for this year, for the successful 23 year old girl, I pray. May this year be fabulous, ecstatic, full of surprises and adventures, new friends, lessons learned, cool stuff to do, love more, more love, let me be me, let me find me. Amen!

On another note, guess who's going to South Korea this summer? Yes. This (soon-to-be) 23 year old girl! Soooo.. the adventures is quite starting already, I guess? Hell yessss... anyone who reads this blog is from Korea? Or familiar with Korea? I'm so clueless but I'm ready for the upcoming things~

I'm kinda excited about the fact that I can go explore the coffee shops over there :} hahah... 

sh-sh-shoes and shirts

two years ago when I just started writing blog, I didn't have any high heels in my shoe rack, at all. How I become such a shoe-addict, I'll never know, nor do I care about it. All I know is now I'm in love with those pretty things called shoes.

I've changed a lot, I guess. I still wear my converse, of course. And flat shoes. They're so useful for long walks, I love them. And of course high heels, they're so pretty, they make me feel pretty although it does tire the crap out of me, lol.

I'm not really sure about this post's purpose, I just took some pictures of my favorite shoes and I thought I should just share, not that any of you care about it, anyway. Hahaha... but that's what blogs are for, no?

the ones I wear regularly to campus, hahaha... you can see a pair of purple crocs there. Honestly speaking, I never really wear it, because it looks weird to wear in any occasion. I didn't buy it, my aunty did, not for me but for her daughter, but it was too small for her so she gave it to me (size 4-5 hereeeeeee...). Two sneakers because I love them so much and yes, I wear them with dresses, hahaha... and flats, my favorite!

a closer look to my favorite everbest flats. Mom bought it for me because she got a discount if she buys two pairs. Yeah right! This one is just soooo comfortable to walk on, I'm in love. Okay, honestly the weird details in the front isn't my favorite, but oh well.

Wear it often, especially when I know I'll have to run to the class because I'm a bit late, hahahahaha...

and did you notice that one of the buttons disappear in one of the shoes? LOL... I did that, so now it's uneven. Nobody seems to notice, though, lololol.

of course, the high neck converse shoes! I wear it when I have to bring lots of books, hahaha... it's just too hard to wear high heels when you're carrying loads of books. I don't like that, lol.

Okay, so one day I went to the transmigration office to take care of my passport with this shoes on, a big backpack and pretty pouty face (because of the long line), the officer told me to bring my parents' id. Apparently he thought I was under 17... should I cry? Was it a compliment???

I was looking for a wedged converse, can't find it anywhere. Then I found this pretty pair, I think it's the line that makes it look converse-ish (I know it's not even a word, whatever). I love how it looks sporty and girly at the same time. It's just too high that I rarely wear it, lololol.. but I love this shoes so much <3

I literally gasped when I found this! I was looking for a wedges shoes with lace all over and this is exactly what I was looking for! I love this pair so much that I rarely wear it, hahahaha... I only wear it on special occasions, like weddings or party. Wore it once to uni and all my friends are swooning over it. It's really pretty, neh?

my favorite heels, the heels aren't so high so it's not tiring. and I love the round toe, and the color, and the little details, and... okay, I love everything about this high heels. My personal favorite ;)

told ya, this post is kinda pointless, hahaha... I hope you don't mind me showing off my favorite shoes. What kind of shoes do you love? Sneakers? Heels? Stiletto? Wedges? Platform? Loafers? :D

on a different note, I was playing with my photoshop and old stock again today, look what I made...

looks doable? plausible? pretty lovable? what do you think? :D
