Jump! Jump! Jump!

I know I have been obsessing about dress for such a long time...I wear dress almost every day except weekend. Because I teach from monday to saturday and I have to look prim and proper when I teach, so no T shirt allowed...In this shoot I wore my lover-dress inspired dress but in lilac color instead of blue. The dress is so lovely so many people wear this dress..like rhiannon from liebemarlenevintage she wore it in broken white.

The photos taken by bff Annisa from the fashion duo of course,still in Bogor Botanical Garden, the largest botanical garden in the world, my Bogor native friend said that. I love this dress a lot but it's a bit much for everyday wear...it's too cute :P

XOXO

seriously!, I can never be fierce

Have you ever had the strangest time in front of your mirror and pretending that you totally pull the models fierce photo shoot look? well if you think you can do that, think again, cause I certainly can't pull that off :P

I thought maybe I just need some time to be cooler during photo shoot and I would (at least I think) look fierce and effortlessly cool...well it turned out it does not work at all!!! let me tell you how strange it could be,,,first my face is certainly not a model material, moreover fierce haha..and I look better smiling, though I am not smiling a lot but really this smile is better than the model-a-like pout that does not work on me..hahaha and also I have huge reindeer eyes...well enough said...I look better smiling :D

first attempt to look fierce...failed miserably XD

second attempt..well not really good...

Frustrated look hmmph

see, I really can pull that off...so why bother trying ?? goofing around is so much better :D

Indian style

talking to no one crazy style

peek-a-boo style :D

Nothing to do under the tree style

"I finally give up"

happy girl smile :D

dress : balinese summer dress
cardigan : soda girl
shoes : charles & keith (the fashion duo's annisa)

I am a sucker for...

I really like wedges and clog heels shoes cause I can be sure that i won't fall in that shoe and have an embarrassing falling experience :)

all of them are on sale at theoutnet.com

can I have one?

Rain on my umbrella

Oh no!! I have been flickering again :(...it's raining lately here at my city...I prefer rain to bright

day, well in this case, too bright day. I remember when I was a little girl every time it rained I would sit in front of my window and sing

"Tik Tik Tik bunyi hujan di atas genteng,

Airnya turun tidak terkira

Cobalah tengok, daun dan ranting,

Pohon dan kebun basah semua. "

in english :

"Tik Tik Tik, the sound of the rain on the roof
The water pouring down heavily
Take a look, branches and twigs
Trees and gardens, all dripping wet."

ooh how I miss my childhood :)

New Year's Eve

I know it's a bit late to write about NYE well...I have just gotten the photo from my friend Dito :)

so I spent NYE at my friend's half furnished house at GreenCove BSD..well, it supposed to be her new house and her parents haven't furnished all rooms, only the living room, bath rooms and bed rooms..the rest is left unfurnished, also the main place of the event, kitchen :P

So..10 of us shopped at giant hypermart before for the meats, sausages, pasta, coal, and all that stuff. and headed straight to Ajeng's house at BSD, when we got there it was 9 at night and some of us starting to cook, well I didn't..so what I did with Ario, Nisa and Dito is driving around to find the fireworks..and it was such a foolish decision cause everyone is already on the street and there was a crazy traffic, that we finally parked the car at Teraskota and bought the fireworks across the street. Once we got the fireworks we returned and started cooking :)

well only nisa and ario cooked,the rest is trying our best to light the coal and it was the biggest failure of our life...we have tried everything from burning the tissues, paper and some boxes in Ajeng's house but it was nothing. And suddenly it's 12.00 so we headed outside to play fireworks..and guess what? none of us has lighter !!! damn!! so we brought the portable stove outside...hahaa

Love the fireworks even though it sounded like a crazy bomb!!

it really was a stove

" Happy New Year :)"

the whole team :)

The Failure called Barbecuing

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2010 :)
