Bonne Anniversaire

Happy bday dearest blog! One year! It's unreal. I can't believe a year has gone by. I remember clearly my very first post. It was in a short semester and I was lusting for a lomo. Oh, and I was re-reading New Moon. Also, it was our first year in Elok 280, our townhouse.

I don't have much to say for now. Except that I've been spending too much money. I'm officially on a shopping break. No more money will come out for anythinga besides food/drink. And movies tickets. I should do it at least until 30 June.

My father's birthday was 17 June. Only 1 day apart! My sister and I bought him this versatile jacket that can also as well be a blazer. It's rather expensive but I don't really set a budget for my dad and my mom's bday present. I mean, it's the least I can do!
The jacket fit him perfectly. And when I saw him looking all dashing and handsome, I was actually smiling. Big time. It is such a nice feeling to give something to the people you ♥. As they say, you can give without loving, but you can't ♥ someone without giving.

Another topic. I've been feeling upset with myself lately. As mentioned before, I have an online store on facebook to sell my clothes that I never wear anymore. And two wicked girls actually deceit me. I was upset. Not to them, but to myself. How can I be so idiotic? It's impossibly annoying to think that you are not smart.
Anyway, I thought it's better to be me the one who got hurt than someone else. Although that someone else is a stranger. I much rather to be the one who lost something than be the one who cause someone else lost something. I can't bear the guilt. I never been good playing the cunning role. I prefer to be the victim anytime.

And that's all for now.
Once again, I ♥ you my darling blog
Happy birthday

Once again, bonne anniversaire dear blog! :)

Great Minds Think Alike

That was the only thing that came up to my mind when I saw me and my sister were wearing the exact same clothes. From the Bali top, to the black legging, to the Longchamp bag. Unbelievable. Thought it was rather funny. I felt like I was six years old again. Back in the days, our moms love to dress us in the same dress with different colors. Or the same overall with different pictures. Hilarious.

top, Bali Island ; legging, unbranded; bag, longchamp; sandals, Charles&Keith

 

Apologies for the low quality of the pictures. I didn't have the mean to documented my outfit today. (I was a little nervous to see the blood test result) But this happen rather rarely. So I feel obligated to post. 

You see, my sister and I, we're not that much alike. In a fashion department. I only borrowed her clothes about 5x for all my life. So to have a matching outfit like this. It is definitely worth a post.

When Life Throws You Pebbles, Eat Them!

Rainy June. How is that even possible? The month clearly states summer yet all I see is grey skies and endless rain. In fact, it's raining when I'm typing this. Most terrible indeed.

Good news, I, turned out, far more committed to post now. At least, to my other blog. It's like discovering a whole new world. All these gorgeous and fabulous people posting pics about their outfit. All of them are inspiring and crazy-creative. Sometimes I do feel intimidated. However, I refuse to give up and decide to use it as a fuel to be better.

Random, but I've been reading Alice In Wonderland, and there's this part where Alice grew so big inside Mr.Rabbit's house. And Wonderland people were afraid with her therefore they started throwing rocks at her. And much to her surprise, those pebbles turned to tiny little cakes. As expected, she ate them. And she started to shrink. Problem solved!

I'm not sure why but this story stuck with me. I guess it's because I can relate to the essence of this metaphor. In life, people will definitely throw rocks at you. Not literally. More like give you these negatives vibes and condescending opinion. Well, it's either you listen to them and cry yourself to sleep, or you listen and use that as a motivation to be the best. I truly believe that success is the best revenge. Do you believe that too?

Anyway, I feel sore all over my body. I've been attending this exercise class for the 2nd time. Yet still my body can not adapt. True, I like the pain. It means I did things right. If I didn't, I wouldn't be as miserable as I am now.

Oh. And I got my blood test today. The results will be sent to my doctor which I will be seeing tomorrow. Fingers crossed!

My top 5 favorite quotes :
1. "You have to kiss a lot of frogs, before you find your prince."
As a 21yr old single, I try not to fixated to one boy. I play the field a little bit. Besides, the flirting is the best part. And when you have kiss enough disgusting frogs, you WILL know what you want and finally have that ☑ list
2. "What's in a name? A rose by any other name would smell as sweet."
Sounds familiar? Well, it better be! Unless you live in the moon, you should be familiar with Shakespeare most famous play. Romeo and Juliet.
I"m not sure why I like this line. It's just so memorable. I guess when you ♥ someone, it doesn't matter what his/her background is. As long as you ♥ each other.
3. "Never be afraid to do something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark; professionals built the titanic"
It's pretty much self-explanatory.
4. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I... I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference."
It's by the one and only Robert Frost. We should not be afraid to do something that is not mainstream. We should chose our own path even when everybody says we took the wrong way. Believe!
5. "My life has a superb cast but I can't figure out the plot."  ~Ashleigh Brilliant
Again, pretty much self-explanatory. I have been so blessed with my family and my friends. They all are so very kind and each is truly precious for me. Yet, I don't know what the future holds. And I think, as long as I have them in my life, I can get through no matter what life throws at me.

Holidayyyyy

Finally the most ever anticipated time has finally arrived. Holiday! Well. It's been holiday since 2weeks ago. Sorry. Been reaaalllyyy lazey to post.

Urgh. I've been feeling awful lately. Idle brain agitates me. I just feel useless, unproductive, like a machine that is going to be discarded very soon. Aaaarrrggghhh.

I wish I have something to do. Like two yrs ago, I had my french course. It helps me get through the day. I wasn't exactly productive, but at least I'm learning something new and get my brain works for half of the day.

As for now, I just feel helplessly unproductive. I suppose I could read my thesis's material that my lectures kindly gave to me. Hey, that's an idea! I feel better already. Yea. I should totally print the material tomorrow and find that book he told me to read. Phew. Finally, something to do.

Oh,wait. My friends are coming from out of town tomorrow. Can't wait. The hours of torture in traffic jam.

That's the other thing. I've been bitter lately. The amount of candies I've put in my mouth done no help. I guess that's the side effect of being unproductive. I'm not doing anything. So I have nothing to put my passion and excitement to. Like when you hv this project, you sweat bloods and a bucket of tears, and when it's executed you're sort of feel that excitement, that satisfaction. I have none of that now. So I feel no passion nor excitement.

Liveless.

That's the word.

Mall Rats

Happy ascension day! Yes we did go to church if you guys were wondering. Then me, my sis, my mom, and my grandma (yep they were visiting!) went from mall to mall.

I love going mall to mall. It's fun to see cool branded stuff that I can't afford. And just walking around beautiful clothes and gorgeous shoes that makes you drool. Oh well. I guess it's kinda pathetic in some ways but I kinda like it. Haha.

Guest star of the day is our cousin. Her name is Jemima and she's so exotic. She has the best hair ever. It's super silky and straight. I'm jealous. 

Jemima is wearing stripey t-shirt, white crisp knee-length pants, and silver gladiator sandals. 

My sis (yes! No sisterless post today!) is wearing yellow tanktop with yellow batwing outerwear, dark brown jeans, and gladiator sandals too.

I'm wearing jeans jacket, grey flowery tunic (been feeling floral lately!), black legging, and my favorite studded flats. I was wearing a black belt. But later I took it off. It looks to much going on the top with my jeans jacket.

Of course, I have my watch with me. The strap is a gradation between pink and gold and white. It's really pretty. I should take a close up picture on that watch sometime. And I also have my black beaded bracelet with me. I did take a close up pic on that bracelet on 2 previous post.

So our mothers were trying out clothes and we decided to be productive. And yes, by all means, we take pictures.

Holiday has finally come. Woohoo!

Times for late night sleep and awake AFTER the sun rises.

I'm so happy right now. I don't want to start to work on my thesis proposal. But I have to! Oh dear!

GUILTY

Okay, so I haven't updated my blog for about a month. And I do feel guilty! Though I can't grasp the reason why. Cause no one read this blog except me occasionally. *Yes I'm a narcisist*
I've been preoccupied with school and divo and . . . you know, stuff. I need to stop making excuses. Okay, I admit it, I just don't have any desire to blog. But now I'm doing it out of guilt.

So Divo, our chihuahua puppy just got some sort of immunization injection last friday. He was so terrified I had to be brave. I never heard her crying like that. Poor Divo! But it's for his own good.

I've also been preoccupied with my thesis topic. It's due 25th august. I still have time, a lot actually, but I just can't get it out of my mind. Like I need to do this one thing so I can really like genuinely enjoy my 2 months holiday from june to july. I'm that kind of person who wants to just get things done immediately and get it out of my way, you know. I'm lame at procrastination.
So I've been browsing the internet and consulting with my not-that-much-of-a-help-but-maybe-help-a-little lecture. And I still can't find the right topic.
I don't want it to be difficult but at the same time I don't want it to be too simple cause I want to prove that I actually have learned something for the past 3 years of my university life.
Oh well. It's in progress. Mr. Right Topic, please knock on my brain door!

Speaking of university. I'm in the middle of the final exam week. And you probably wondering why I have time to blog instead of studying. Well, for one reason, 5 out of 6 subjects are open book exams. So I don't really study. I just sort of skimming and voila I can do the exam. I know. Sweet right?

And it's probably as sweet as my new blog. You probably think I'm crazy for making another blog. I'm terrible at updating THIS blog and yet I made ANOTHER blog.
But it's entirely different cause this blog is a fashion blog. I know, Finally!
This way I can retract my commitment to include anything fashion in this blog.

Don't worry, I will still posting 5 top something.
I happen to like depressing songs. Everytime I play a sad and gloomy melody, my sister would be like 'what kind of song is that? It's so depressing'. But I ♥ depressing songs. It makes me depressed. I like feeling gloomy and dark and all emo cause then I feel like I can feel what others can't through songs. So here we go

Five Top Depressing Songs
1. Flightless Bird, American Mouth by Iron and Wine
Oh God. I cried when I first heard this at Twilight movie. At home, I immediately browse for the title then download it. You can't feel not depressed if you listened to the lyric and the extremely sad melody. This definitely my go to song when I need to feel depressed.
Though I don't really get the message. Some say it's a little porn. I don't know. All I care this song breaks my ♡ everytime I listen to it.
2. Possibility by Lykke Li
This is also from Twilight series, New Moon. It's the song when Bella just got dumped by that sparkly vampire Edward. Seriously. THIS is the right song to express all that devastation that she feels. The intensified feeling of normal break-up. Oh Bella darling, if only I were you.
3. Almost Lover by A Fine Frenzy
To all my ex flings, this is the song for you. I'm definitely relate to the lyric. And the beautiful melody just makes it more perfect to reminiscing those fun times, flings. And also the heartbreak that came after. Oh yeah, I don't forget how you break my ♡, mister.
4. Already Gone by Kelly Clarkson
This is the song for you who just got out of a relationship because of a sad reason where nobody is to blame but the reason to end the relationship is undeniable. "I want you to know that it doesn't matter where we take this road someone's gotta go. And I want you to know that you couldn't have loved me better... Love you enough to let you go"
5. Hotel California by Eagles
This song just make me sad. It's about human traffic, if you can't understand the metaphorical lyric. I can't imagine being send and used like an object. That's what makes this song so depressing. It's about a real problem and not just some shabby ♥ conflict.
