Happy Bday Ayah n Selamat Hari Sumpah Pemuda ;)

Tanggal 28 Oktober selalu menjadi hari yang dinanti2kan di keluarga gw, hari penting buat seluruh keluarga besar gw, hari itu tepat ulang tahun Ayah yang ke 63, diumur beliau sekarang dengan kondisi fisik yang sekarang, kita hanya bisa selalu berdoa yang terbaik buat ayah, diberi kesehatan dan dipanjangkan umurnya...amiin

Sedikit cerita tentang salah satu orang yang paling penting dihidup gw ini..ayah adalah segala2nya buat gw, dia dan nyokap adalah semangat gw, inspirasi gw, my role model, my life purpose..what i am now tidak terlepas dari begitu besarnya rasa sayang dan support mereka..ayah yang sekarang memang sudah berbeda jauh dengan ayah yang dulu, yang gagah, yang sehat dan yg humoris! Penyakit stroke yang menyerang ayah sekitar 6 tahun lalu udah berhasil merubah ayah seluruhnya..sekarang sudah tidak ada lagi ayah yang gagah, ayah yang sehat dan ayah yang humoris..penyakit ini selain membuat ayah dirawat dirumah sakit selama hampir 6 bulan, kondisinya pun tidak menjadi lebih baik..syaraf ditangah kiri ayah hampir2 tidak berfungsi, tapi berkat usaha kita ke segala macam pengobatan alternatif, ayah sedikit banyak sudah bisa menggerakkan tangan kirinya..walopun belum seluruhnya normal, but ayah berusaha..kita semua berusaha! Penyakit ini kejam, penyakit ini udah berhasil merubah psikis orang..ayah yang punya prinsip tidak pernah mau nyusahin anak perlahan2 harus menerima kenyataan bahwa memang sudah seharusnya anak disusahin oleh orang tua..sampai kapanpun, seberapa besar apapun..apa yang kita lakukan ke orang tua tidak akan pernah seimbang dengan apa yang telah mereka lakukan ke kita. Tapi ayah keras kepala, dia selalu menyesalkan penyakitnya, dia merasa ga bisa apa2, dia merasa jadi beban...kita sadar, inilah kejamnya penyakit stroke! selain bikin fisik tidak berdaya, stroke jg bikin psikis penderitanya tambah parah..perasaan tidak berdaya itu yang bikin humorisnya ayah hilang, bikin cerianya ayah hilang dan sikapnya sekarang sudah lebih2 dari anak kecil yang bisa sebentar2 seneng, sebentaran lagi marah2...kitaa semua gak pernah berhenti semangatin ayah, nyenengin ayah, nyabarin ayah klo ini semua cobaan dari Allah SWT, mungkin ini memang waktunya ayah istirahat dari tugas2 beratnya dulu untuk kita, it is our time for you!!

Di ultah ayah kali ini, cukup dirayain dengan nasi kuning, kue, tiup lilin dan kado Batik Keris sesuai permintaan dia :p

Selamat Ulang Tahun Ayah, Semoga ALLAH SWT selalu memberikan kesehatan dan panjang umur buat Ayah, semoga Ayah diberi kesabaran dalam menghadapi semua cobaan, diberi kekuatan untuk tetap semangat menghadapi penyakit ini dan semoga kita semua diberi jalan untuk kesembuhan Ayah...AMIIIN AMIIN AMIIN

Meet w/ Desong at PI

It's always feels good meeting up with friends to share stories, gossiping and have some coffee and just chillin' :)

And that's exactly what I did yesterday when I finally met with Desong again, my besties!

The last time we met was before my trip to HK, it means almost a month ago..geez! well, i know she is super busy with all of her "demanding-boss-thingy" and me who always find a hard time to leave the office early :( that's why we can understand how tricky it is to fixed our timing.

But yesterday, we finally matched our time and decided to meet up at Plaza Indonesia. At first i said to her that i will arrive at PI around 6pm since it took about an hour drive from Daan Mogot. Thus i'll be leaving the office set 5pm. But sadly, my boss asked me to do a last minute job..ie. edited and printed as much as 50 colored presentation pages into a hard copy file!! Sigh! And so i ended up leaving the office around 6pm and arrived there at 7.30pm :( well, what do u expect? traffic like hell in Jakarta!!

First thing we do was find a place to eat. Our plan was actually at Dome so we can sit facing the Bunderan HI view, but the place already closed down and has been renovated to another coffee shop which i forgot the name :( so we ended up eating at Segaffredo, its a smoking area :p we ordered oglio olio pasta and instantly disappointed! the smell of the food reminds us of somekind of a gross smelly sweat..blaah! and when we ordered cappuccino they said that they run out of whipped cream, and the drink i ordered was actually the kind of must-have-whipped-cream-on-top-of-it drink..so w/o whipped cream it would've taste...blaahblahblaah!! over all, we're disappointed, and to make it worst, there's no wifi connection too!! -thank god they allow us to smoke!

After finished eating we went for window shopping. Checking out those beautiful clothes, bags and shoes while salary day is still far far away to come was completely devastating :( however, windows shopping is always a fun thing to do!

The "meet up" wouldn't be complete without taking pictures right? so here it is, the narsis couple :p

Chocolate Caramel Night :p

My Personal Style :)

To be honest, i'm not a fashionable person, i wear only what comfortable for me, and suits me the most! i do sometimes try to experiment with clothings and stuff so called fashion items, like wearing scarf or updated accessories, however i don't feel comfortable wearing it and sometimes it feels awkward! 

My character itself is kinda boyish, i love wearing simple things, casual, wearable, affordable and with not much details on it..however, i always prioritized my clothing selection on its fabrics, cutting, color and most importantly it should fit in perfectly on my strange body and can cover up my big tummy, my big arm, my big calf and my short torso...*I've told you I've a strange body :((

For everything related to fashion i believe my bestfriend Desong knows better than i do, checking out on her website she's truly is my fashion guru :p from her i know several cool stuff that i can mix n match and suits me :p i also love her shoes collection...im dying to have one of those RED shoes (particularly the ALDO shoes), she obviously had a full knowledge to combine all the items worth wearing :)

I do believe, every person is unique on their own. Some stuff may fit in one person but doesn't always fit in to another, considering from body structure, skin tone, height and several body part....as example..Me, i always trying hard to like skirt, a pencil skirt, a tulip skirt, a 3/4 long skirt or any other skirt. But since i know i have a short leg and *as my opinion* a big calf...thus i always try to avoid wearing it! There are many days i test my confidence on it and as a result i felt less confidence during the day and a whole day :(

But still, i've several skirts on my collection, mostly are a knee-length skirt with a long cut on the behind, i love wearing it coz it looks sexy yet formal. Although im not to fond of wearing skirt, in some occasion i really want to wear it (or most of the time bocz i run out of pants :p) sooo..one thing i always do to make the skirt look nice on my strange body and also to boost my confidence is by wearing a high heels..yes, a sky-high heels, that way-at least, i can camouflage my short leg and make it looks proportional :)

I may not like skirt that much, but on contrary i really love dresses..*i know its strange bcoz it gives the same result as if im wearing a skirt! However, a nice classic dress would look really good on me, coz it cover up my tummy (i wear a big belt on it), cover up my arms (i wear a cardigans or blazers) and its only one piece...one thing for sure that it conceals my problem area :D Therefore, all i have to do is find the good ones! The kind of dress i like is-as always-a knee length classic sheath dresses in colors that compliment my skin tone and accentuate my body shape...

Here are some of dresses that might be suitable for me :

Other than that..i always always love trousers, tailored slim/pencil or straight trousers. Sometimes it is very hard to find a good trousers with cutting and material that i like. Trousers that suits me should have a pocket or details on the back, a wide belt line with thick fabrics and great cutting...i usually find trousers with good cutting but bad fabrics or good fabrics but with bad cutting..its frustrating :( therefore if im lucky to find a good one, i will most likely buy another one with a different color...that's what really happen until today in my clothes collection, you will see lots of clothes with same design but in a different color :D That is including my shoes collection :D

So this is how i explain my  personal style, style that says something about me, style that i present to the world. Style that comforts me :)

Here are several visual explanation of my style

RED Hair

Kucewaaa, aku kucewaa :((

Ternyata hasil dari duduk selama 3 jam, sambil main hp, baca majalah, ngerokok berbatang2 and makan minum segala..tidak membuahkan hasil yang gw inginkan :(

Niat ngecat rambut yang udah ketunda dari berbulan2 yang lalu dengan alesan stylisnya lah lagi ada appointment ditempat lain, waktunyalah yang kesorean, obatnya lah yang udah abis plus gwnya juga yg dananya dipakein terus..akhirnya setelah berbagai alesan yang lama2 bikin males itu gw memutuskan minggu kemarin musti kudu harus ngecat rambut!

Untungnya salon langganan gw gak terlalu jauh dari kostan, so teng jam 3 sore gw berangkat dari kostan and cukup jalan gak sampai 10 menit gw tiba di Salon Ancha Adi Kemang, Sampe disana paas bgt stylistnya lagi available and cat yg gw mau tersedia...yeeeaay, ak seneng :)) Cuma kata Mas Alil salah satu stylish disitu, untuk rambut sepanjang gw satu tube ajah gak cukup sedangkan catnya cuma tersisa 1 tube so kalo tetep mau maksain ngecat, musti di mix dengan warna yang kurang lebih mendekati warna yang gw mau..hadoooh, apa lagi inih? gw malah tambah bingung and kuatir seandainya dimix bkalan kaya apa rambut eke? nanti jadinya malah merah berdarah2 atau malah coklat kusam kaya anak main layangan?? duuuh dilemma euy, tpi nafsu ngecat udah gedee banget inih :(

Akhirnya setelah ditimbang2, dipikir2 and bawel2an ma stylishnya gw memutuskan untuk hajaar deeh..*walopun jujur im kinda worried and ragu juga :(

Pas diapply, hasilnya kelihatan merah loh, i was thinking "orait this is exactly what i wanted!" stylistnya at first malah worried klo hasilnya terlalu merah, but i really dont care, i want red and i get what i want yaitu merah! poles sana poles sini, it is clearly the color that applies on my hair is red!

Then I wait for a couple hours and add few more hours just to make sure the color will be brighter and the RED color i want will shine out...now time to rinse off

Deeennngg...koq malah kelihatan coklat teraaang yaa?? oooh noo..this is not the color i wanted, way different than i wanted...i pissed off, i disappointed and to make it worst, i got stain on my new white t-shirrt...aarrrgghhhh, my new t-shirt, i just wear it twice..and i cry out loud! total disappointment :((

Tapi mau gimana lagi? there is no way i immediately ask the stylist to change the color and paint my hair again :( and about my new t-shirt, they come up with the solution to spray a hair-spray right into the stains, it kinda fading a little bit tho, but still im worried the stain stays :(

Dengan segala worried and kecewa yang beraduk2, akhirnya gw memutuskan untuk menghibur diri ke Pejaten Village, the nearest mall from the salon and im sure its not going to be too crowded, at least not much people will pay attention on my stained t-shirt!!

Sebenernya bisa aja gw mampir dulu kekostan untuk ganti baju and keluar lagi, but it would be a different case for me...because its just waste of time and gw paling males kalo musti balik dulu and keluar lagi..anyway, i can still cover it up with my long hair!

So cuek bebek lah gw berangkat ke Pejaten Village dengan baju kena noda yang untungnya ketutupan sama rambut panjang gw!! masuk toko sana toko sini, liat2 sana liat2 sini, and selalu tambah kecewa setiap masuk ruang ganti and ketemu kaca gede plus lampu terang benderang...I Dont Like My Hair :(

As to pleased my self, i buy a pair of great wedges shoes at Payless :) *ini sih alesaaaannn :p
yaah, walopun kecewa sama rambut, setidaknya gw msih bsa sedikit senyum ngeliatin my new baby-wedges :p

Actually, i want this kind of RED on my head

*Agnes look supeer cute :)

Well, i just hoping setelah dicuci beberapa kali warnanya bisa bener2 mendekati..*fingercross :(

Aniiweeeii, this is a quick look of my new hair under the sun...nyariiis *menghiburdiri x__x
