Daehan Minguk Manse

Those babies had stolen my heart wholeheartedly. Sadly knowing the program won't take any shot of them anymore :')

Bayi-bayi triplets kesayangan ini ga sengaja mencuri perhatian gue setahun terakhir. Awalnya gue gatau ini acara apaan dan juga gue bukan penikmat Korean TV Shows or else, tetiba beberapa temen di kampus nodongin gue nonton ini dan gue otomatis kecanduan... Si dedek-dedek gemes ini dengan sangat berhasil bikin gue langsung jadi sayang :') Ada ya balita-balita pinter cem-cem mereka gini, berantem jarang, dikasih tau nurut, mana lucu lagi duh ga ngerti lagi terutama my favorite Daehan duh dedek kok bisa sih ganteng kaya gitu ya ampun Daehan! Awalnya nonton ini emang susah sih notice siapa-siapa aja namanya, paling yang ngeh cuman Minguk soalnya dia emang yang paling imut terus rambutnya kuncung dikit gitu wkwk, lama-lama kok ngeliat si Daehan ini menarik juga ya *loh and yes he's my number one favorite baby on earth!

Mi luv Daehan!

Selain ganteng, si Daehan ini kayanya nyadar banget dia yang paling tua di antara dua saudara lainnya. Sifatnya itu loh duh, sayang banget sama Bapaknya, attitude nya bagus, baik banget sama saudaranya, mana di episode terakhir yang 116 gue sampe banjir nangis bombay liat Daehan bantuin Bapaknya cuci piring wkwk lebay banget yhak... Ga cuman itu aja, kalau nonton beberapa episode The Return of Superman si Daehan ini keliatan banget pinternya. Apalagi pas dia ngomongin tentang kenapa Dinosaurus punah, pinter amat sih dek belajar dari mana :') Selain pinter, apa yang diomongin Daehan itu biasanya lebih logis buat ukuran anak seumur kaya begini kalau dibandingin sama Manse dan Minguk sih. Dan keliatan banget si Daehan ini peduli gitu sama sekitarnya terutama sama Bapak Ibunya hihi duh dek pengen banget punya anak kaya kamu gini :")))

Minguk sama Manse juga menitipkan bekas yang mendalam di hati gue wqwq terutama kalau Manse lagi tetiba nangis gitu bahaha dikit-dikit nangis dikit-dikit nangis heeu sedih banget sih dedek. Gue sampe buat review kaya begini di blog cuman karena pengen bilang sesedih itu ya ternyata ditinggalin bayi-bayi gemas ini, yang selalu nemenin kebosanan gue kalau lagi UTS/UAS atau nemenin kegabutan gue pas lagi liburan di rumah. Harusnya masih bisa nemenin gue rempong TA nih, tapi sayang kita ga bakalan ketemu lagi di episode 117 dan seterusnya hiks. Dan yang paling mengharukan adalah di scene terakhir episode 116 yang bagian si narator bilang "I love you. I love you. I love you." wah itu gue langsung nangis lebay banget wqwq, but then you have to believe: "You'll be loved." Kemaren juga gue baru nemuin ternyata Bapaknya ini buat official (semoga) Instagram yang ngepost foto-foto sama video-video bocah-bocah ajaib ini, hihi seneng banget bisa liat Daehan lagi nyusun lego :') Duh dek kangen deh, sehat terus ya semoga nanti kalau udah besar bisa jadi orang pinter dan you'll know one day that you are surrounding by all good people around you.

I'll see you next time, baby :)

Short Term Memory Loss Syndrome

Based on the title of this post, do I diagnose in to some of severe memory disorders happened nowadays? Ga, sih cuman a little bit wonder why do I always forget every single information that comes for just in one click so easily? Lupa sejenak atau biasa disebut dengan short term memory loss syndrome merupakan hal yang wajar-wajar saja, terjadi akibat dua hal bisa dari faktor traumatis maupun non-traumatis. It caused by a lot of cases, but for me it's not easy to handle. Sebenernya satu hal yang ga gue pahami adalah tujuan buat posting hari ini yha bukan buat ngomongin topik diatas... but then I lost words instantly, gue lupa selupa-lupanya orang lupa.

Back to yesterday afternoon, jadi along the aisle of the sidewalk gue berpapasan beberapa temen-temen gue mostly anak-anak 2013 dan 2014 yang baru aja beres kelas (maklum anak tingkat akhir cem gue gini kelas paling pagi aja jam 13:00 siang). Dan moment sapa-menyapa "Ka Odaaah" "Halo sisst" "Bawa apa Kaa?" dan sekiranya seperti itu terjadi, sampailah saat right after I crossed over the Seni Rupa parking lot ada seorang anak muda melintas didepan gue secara horizontal dan melihat gue yang baru saja menyapa temen gue 2012 and suddenly he said hi to me "Hai Ka" then... you know what kind of expression I gave to him? Let's go to the detail by flattening the instance I arrange it below as the conversation:

A = "Hai Ka!" (dengan senyum lebar menyapa gue)
B = *senyum tipis* (awkwardly thinking so hard who that guy was, ini bocah anak mana ya? Anak Kabinet kah anak IMG kah atau adek-adekan mana lagi yang kenal sama gue tapi lagi-lagi gue ga kenal karena lupa... but honestly I recognised his face but not remembered his name  as well and also where he comes from) *sampai seketika gue senyum mengeluarkan gigi tanpa menjawab*
A = "Yaudahlah Ka gapapa kok Ka gapapa..." (sudah pasrah, dia nyadar kalau gue ga kenal sama dia...)
B = "Eeeh maap maap kamu siapa anak mana aku lupaaa"
A = "Coba-coba tolong kaos dong hahaha" *sambil minta temen-temennya yang cewe-cewe ngebuka baju yang dia baru bawa
B = "Hooo iya kamu... anak mana ya tapi AHAHAHA! Itu kaosnya kaos apa tulisannya?" *berusaha keras mengenali kaos apaan yang dia kasih liat
C = "IMG Kaa" *salah satu temennya nyaut tapi temennya ini bukan anak IMG
A = "Hooo kamu anak IMG?! HALO!" *baru nyapa dan temen-temennya ketawa ngakak dianya malu sambil tawa-tawa "Maaf ya aku soalnya pelupa banget HAHAHA!"
B = "Iya kok Ka gapapa kok Kaaa..." (kayanya dia ga habis pikir punya senior macem gue begini...)
A = "Maaf yaa tapi aku inget kok muka kamu. Nama kamu siapaa?" *langsunglah temen-temennya makin ngakak karena gue gatau nama dia wqwq
B = "Adrian Ka" (if I'm not mistaken, atau Ardian? Tapi gue yakin nama dia Adrian kok gue ga budeg...)
A = "Ooooh Adrian, halo Adrian! Odah" *ikut teriak perkenalan diri padahal gue yakin dia udah tau nama gue, cuman guenya aja... maap yha. "Maap yaa hahaha dadah!"
B = "Iya Kaa gapapaa hahaha" *sambil berlalu diiringi cekikikan temen-temen cewenya

So itu merupakan sepenggal cerita kesulitan gue dalam mengingat, jadi si Adrian ini anak Geodesi juga angkatan 2014. Ya maklum aja gue emang baru apal-apal 2014 ini muka-mukanya doang kadang nama belum semuanya kenal apalagi yang cowo-cowo. Tapi sumpah sih gue malu, pasti dia lebih malu wqwq mana itu banyak orang banget kan baru pada keluar kelas buat jajan. Ga cuman kejadian sapa-menyapa gue ga inget nama, bahkan yang udah deket banget pun kalau tetiba baru ketemu lagi di jalan biasanya gue berkedok seperti ini "Hai sist darimana?" sambil hardly memorize her/his name. Jadi kalau lo ketemu gue dengan situasi gue ga menyapa lo dibarengin dengan nama lo, bet me I totally forget your name, I'm sorry.

Selain itu gue juga paling susah kalau nulis kata-kata penting yang dosen lagi omongin di kelas kalau guenya emang bener-bener lagi ga fokus dan ga berusaha membuat otak gue berpikir keras buat ngingetnya. Baru 1 detik aja dosen ngomong terus guenya juga sambil nulis, maka bisa dipastikan gue blank dan lupa gatau mau nulis apa dengan berujung ngeliat catetan ke temen sebelah. Well, that's me and all those short term memory loss syndrome tragedies. Makanya sebenernya modal gue dari dulu sekolah sama kuliah cuman modal itung-itungan doang, kalau disuruh ngapal sudahlah mana ada yang stick to my brain permanently.

Odah dan segala hal yang ia lupakan.
*sebenernya post kali ini ditulis karena gue pusing ngerjain proposal Tugas Akhir yang formatnya diubah jadi format baru dan berujung bingung ngisinya gimana terus akhirnya malah cerita-cerita ga penting di blog. All hail Tingkat Akhir.

Send Me A Number #1

I got tired of studying the land consolidation--which the topic will be tested as the final test next Tuesday--I take a break, let's send me a number to answer!

Besides no one will ask me during this break time of reading some of those land administration thingies, I would happily choose the numbers (several, for today's section) and directly put the answers below.

1. Full name, Annisaa Dyah Adani (again, Annisaa with double N and double A. Please don't get me wrong, just don't)

2. Zodiac sign, am a truly blue Piscean.

6. Last song I listened to, Sunset from Avalanche City.

13. Something I really, really want, kind of mirrorless camera from Fujifilm X-T10 (please help me against the habit of shopping out of the budget, please I just want that camera to be brought home)

14. Currently relationship status, in a circle with Alif for approximately 6 months.

15. Meaning behind my URL, of course my fullest name resembles it.

16. My favourite movie(s), my all time favourite is "About Time" I've watched about 2 years ago of its debut release, I cried loudly for the last scene :')

17. My favourite song(s), "All My Loving" from The Beatles which is covered by The Well Pennies, it sounds way better than the original song (in my humble opinion).

22. Someone I miss, my family and Alif (please come back home soon from Mansalong)

23. Someone I love, my family and Alif.

26. My closest Tumblr friend, honestly I have no public Tumblr accounts. I have one but that portal is secretly hidden from my bio; privately saved from the people.

31. My pets, 2 beautiful kittens named Amora and Black, both are females that I never have a courage to touch them (I'm scared of animal, especially its fur... sorry)

38. My future goals, building a house which similarly looks like the Williams' from Kinfolk Magazine.

42. What I did yesterday, got a chance to make a paper which will be submitted for next year's cartographic conference in Croatia. Wish me luck, wish me no-mager-in-life.

48. Number of kids I want, just two children, boy and girl, and my life will complete.

Will be continued for the next section, toodles!

gendut.

Di suatu hari setelah selesai kelas pukul tujuh.

Perpustakaan pagi itu,

"Odah, Dora, dan Bu Siti Penjaga Perpustakaan GD"

O = "Ya ampun Dor gue gendut banget sekarang..." (sambil lihat kaca perpus terisak-isak memandang pipi)

S = "Kalau kamu gendut Ibu apa dong?" (tetiba nimbrung)

O = (diem cengar-cengir malu sambil mangap mau ketawa tapi ketahan)

D = "Huwahaha!" (ketawa ala Dora)

S = "Udah pas kok segitu cukup lah badannya"

D = "Iya Dah udah pas segitu mah ga gendut, kalau lo gendut segitu gimana gue hahaha"

O = "Tapi gendut Bu sekarang saya... Gimana dong hiks..." (masih meratap)

Tolong, lagi krisis percaya diri gara-gara pipi ga bisa kempes-kempes... Awalnya bertahan dengan berat badan hanya di sekitar 44-46 kilogram aja, tapi kok lama-lama menyentuh angka 50 ya di timbangan? Di situ gue mulai insecure yang dulunya pengen banget bisa gemuk sekarang mikir "gue bisa kurus lagi ga ya?" Plus ditambah temen-temen SMP dan SMA yang bilang kalau pipi gue gendats dan gue makin terpojok dengan kata-kata tersebut. Beberapa bulan lalu gue kena Demam Berdarah yang bikin gue langsung kurus ke angka 42-43 kilogram, tapi setelah itu ini badan ga pernah mau kurus lagi eh pipi deng badan tetep segini-gini aja sebenernya ga ada yang berubah. Semenjak itu gue mulai berpikir hal ini terjadi karena semenjak gue kena Demam Berdarah bulan Maret lalu gue berhenti lari di Saraga yang biasanya gue lakuin seminggu sekali alih-alih bukan buat kurus sebenernya tapi buat sehat aja karena selama udah ga ada mata kuliah Olahraga semenjak tingkat dua (atau mungkin terakhir gerak ya pas osjur) badan ini ga pernah dibawa gerak lagi. Sekarang saya percaya bahwa lari keliling 6 kali lap saraga bisa menjaga bentuk badan Anda (optimis biar ga mager lari lagi). Wish me luck buat ngecilin pipi dan merubah angka di timbangan menjadi 45 kilogram kembali.

Odah ingin kurus lagi.

Compulsive Buying #1

This post isn't relating to the irresistible urge of satisfying my unconscious wishes for some goods I should add to my own secretly "footprints". It doesn't show kind of disorder that people found worldwide as the 5.8% lifetime prevalence of population tho, I deeply just want to share the lip product I frequently use for years. Proudly introduce you my two favourites L'OCCITANE Shea Butter (Ultra Rich) Lip Balm and Kiehl's Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm.

Before going to far, Bandung jadi super dingin karena beberapa hari ini selalu turun hujan yang bikin Bandung jadi as gloomy as it has to be. Honestly there's no specific reason between the rainy season happens here and the compulsive buying of some products I've used for ages, cuman karena udara dingin terkadang bikin bibir kering dan pecah-pecah and one of the solutions I can recommend you to do is using lip balm as the helper of this problem. Biar kaya ala-ala beauty blogger, gue mau buat review ala-ala juga tentang lip care yang sangat gue rekomendasikan.

First,

L'OCCITANE Shea Butter Lip Balm! Pertama banget pake ini pas jaman SMA gegara suka dapet souvenir Garuda Indonesia gratis dan ada lip balm stick ini didalemnya (lumayan, gratis). Langsung suka banget pake lip balm ini karena moist dan ga lengket ataupun makes your lips look oily, pokoknya pas dan tahan lama. Buat harga bisa check disini. Setelah bertahun-tahun make akhirnya beli yang Shea Butter Ultra Rich Lip Balm yang kata mbaknya sama aja sih sama yang kemasan stick cuman harganya jauh lebih murah dengan isi 12 ml kalau beli yang ini dan pastinya bakalan awet bertahun-tahun biar ga boros. Tapi ga lama beli sayangnya lip balm gue jatoh di angkot tanpa gue sadari, padahal masih banyak dan gue hanya bisa merintih dan bingung harus bagaimana menjalani hidup selanjutnya :') (lebay)

The lost one I was searching for

Last but not least,

Karena gue sangat insecure dengan kehilangan L'OCCITANE gue yang baru beli itu akhirnya gue beralih ke alternatif lain yaitu Kiehl's Facial Fuel No-Shine Moisturizing Lip Balm. Aslinya sih cuman pengen beli Scented Lipbalm #1 Mango tapi mbaknya dengan sangat meyakinkan malah nawarin gue yang Facial Fuel katanya sih kalau yang stick pengaplikasiannya lebih mudah dan katanya sih bisa mengembalikan warna asli bibir kita. Ga beda jauh sama L'OCCITANE kok tapi kalau yang Facial Fuel ini ada sensasi mint-nya waktu dipake, biasanya bikin bibir lembab dan cocok ditimpa pake lipt tint atau lipstick setelahnya. Buat check bisa dilihat disini.

Facial Fuel

Buat yang mau beli atau minta sample (kerjaan gue kalau ke Kiehl's bahaha) di Bandung ada kok store L'OCCITANE yang ada di PVJ sama TSM, kalau Kiehl's sih setau gue cuman ada di PVJ aja. Oiya buat Kiehl's sendiri gue sangat rekomendasi produk lainnya, terutama Aromatic Blends sama sabunnya (gue pernah pake yang Vanilla and Cedarwoods Aromatic Mist, tapi sekarang lagi pake yang Orange and Lychee Aromatic Mist dan pastinya worth to try!)

Because beauty is always pain, beauty is. Save your money, jangan boros! See ya.

Odllery

I proudly pronounce you my long-lost art work which had been absent for a long time "Odllery, we love you lots like jelly tots". Now you can easily order my products via online by adding the information I mentioned you thereover.

Halo semua! I'll start typing today's post by using Bahasa, mungkin bakalan agak panjang karena gue bakalan jualan dan sedikit cerita tentang Odllery ini. Odllery itself refers to my own name, jadi kalau boleh bercerita nama panggilan Odah ini mungkin membawa rezeki sendiri buat gue karena Odllery merupakan singkatan dari "Odah Gallery" (whut?), haha seems so cheesy tapi kalau diliat-liat chimpy dan lucu juga kok lama-lama. First thing first, dari SMP emang udah suka desain dan mulai iseng buat nyetak itu sekitar kelas 3 SMA awal, karena mudah dan not taking too much cost to be given as a birthday present akhirnya gue buat scrapbook online dan dicetak di kertas foto ukuran paling besar buat ulang tahun temen-temen. Sempat hiatus beberapa tahun bikin crafty products, jadinya beralih ngurusin layout majalah dan terkadang bikin poster atau propaganda acara-acara di kampus.

Kalau ada yang pernah baca post gue tentang graduation day sekitar bulan Juli tahun lalu, disitu gue mulai kembali mencoba buat mencetak hasil desain gue dan kali itu pertama kali buat nyetak kartu ucapan lipat. Wah deg-degan banget dan sempet gagal cetak juga tapi hasilnya bagus sekali karena tempat percetakan langganan gue ini punya jenis-jenis kertas yang ga banyak dipake sama percetakan lain, setelah itu akhirnya nagih deh buat cetak hasil desain sendiri. Kalau ada yang pernah baca juga post-an tentang kado buat Ka Siti, nah disitu awalnya kepikiran buat jadiin Mason Jar sebagai kado ulang tahun juga.

Pertama kali kepikiran buat jualan waktu itu karena bantuin temen ngasih kado buat orang sekaligus dia mau nembak juga. Kalau buat moment kaya gini biasanya pasti cewe suka banget dikasih yang lucu dan gemay (a.k.a gemes), yaudah akhirnya gue buat satu paket box berisi card, talenan, message in a jar dan hanging birthday words. (P.S. disini gue ga ngasih detail dari tiap product yang waktu itu temen gue pesen, karena mereka sudah tidak lagi bersama maaf ya).

Selain itu akhirnya nyoba buat simple pop up card buat dies organisasi yang gue ikutin di kampus, awal-awal rada ngeri karena ga pernah sama sekali buat dan untung sih hasilnya cukup memuaskan banget karena printingnya tajem dan pop up nya terbuka dan tertutup secara sempurna (naon).

Setelah beberapa krisis dan tragedi handphone jatoh dan akhirnya LCD rusak dan menguras kantong sehingga duit kosan bulan Juli jadi korbannya, gue memutuskan untuk jualan kartu ucapan wisuda bulan Agustus kemaren. Sebenernya niat buat jualan supaya bisa gantiin duit kosan dari Bokap gegara harus beli LCD hp yang rusak, lama-lama karena masih liburan dan semester 7 ini lumayan-agak-cenderung gabut (I take 16 credits out of 144 for this semester, dimana 2 SKS Kerja Praktik ga belajar jadi I wake up early in the morning just to come and sit for at least 2-4 hours of classes and go back home) jadi gue memutuskan untung berjualan dagangan crafty gue dengan sangat bersemangat.

What will I offer you? Berikut merupakan produk-produk Odllery yang saya jajakan beserta dengan harganya (pastinya dengan harga promo dan akan berubah seiring dengan antusias massa dan pasar):

• Pop Up Card = 35K
• Non Pop Up Card = 20K
• Assorted Cutting Board = 45K (maksudnya ini talenan buat hiasan)
• Message in a Jar = 65K
• Explosion Box = 200K
• Paket Pop Up Card + Assorted Cutting Board + Message in a Jar = 135K

Oiya buat yang talenan ini sebenernya merupakan golongan masterpiece yang selalu diperbincangkan temen-temen gue buat ngedorong gue buat ngejualnya. Sebenernya sempet masukin portofolio talenan ini buat masuk ke ITB Gallery yang bakalan dipublish di Galeri CC Timur ITB awal semester 6 kemaren, namun apadaya ternyata Sunny Side Up Cutting Board gue ga diterima hehe ga apa tapi sekarang kan udah laku buat dijual.

Sunny Side Up Cutting Board, walaupun gagal masuk ITB Gallery yang penting sekarang bisa bermanfaat buat orang lain yang susah nyari-nyari handmade or DIY-thingy.

Beberapa minggu ini udah banyak yang pesen juga buat kado ulang tahun pacar, kado sidang temen, kado anniversary, dan kado wisuda. Yuk mari ditengok katalog dari Odllery:

Beberapa contoh pop up card buat ulang tahun dan juga hadiah lulus sidang.

Nah selain talenan, salah satu masterpiece terbaru Odllery adalah Explosion Box. Ini merupakan salah satu project special request yang sangat challenging dari Aulia temen gue, awalnya agak ragu karena belum pernah sama sekali kepikiran buat ngebikin ini. Tapi kalau ga dicoba ya ga bakal tau, sekarang makasih banget sama Aul yang udah nambahin ide bikin Expolsion Box ini. Thank you so much, dear Aul ❤

 This is how I packaged the box, wrapped with rope and gift tag.

Hooray, it has been exploded!

Cheese burger pop up as a request. Well for the next order I'll learn how to make it 3D.

Each side of the box has a pocket to put something just like photo and also some messages. Odllery will provide our quality by giving the costumer free doily-paper-look-alike to write your personal message inside.

Ordered by Daffa for his friend who'll graduate this Saturday.

Of course the gift tag is also free.

If you want to order, you can chat me through LINE by adding my ID: annisaadyah and maybe contact me to my phone number +62 857 1565 0034. Odllery is located in Bandung, jadi yang mau COD wilayah sekitar Dago juga bisa biar ga pake ongkir hehe. Oiya sistem order Odllery adalah Pre-Order selama 10 hari, jadi kalau mau pesan tunggu Odllery Open PO dulu ya, terima kasih banyak!

Odllery

we love you lots like jelly tots

20 Facts About Me

All hail kekinian, not been tagged by anyone else (supported by the "badi" of social media I creep into some strangers' portal) to post the #20factsaboutme, but I'll give you instantly free:

1. Marked as Odah for the costless epithet since 2006. If you ask how that nickname came from, lend me a paper with a stylograph, and I'll write down the scheme to explain.
2. Spontaneously correcting people who spelled my first name wrong "It must be A with double A, not just an A!" Annisaa with double A, they said. (Back to the late 2011, a friend of my Biology group typed a total error of my name on the cover of our paper: Anisa Saodah. Crackpot.)
3. My father always said that I waste his money just for foods and clothes (also its cronies for the details). Makan Cantik and Jajan Cantik are my after-UTS/UAS-daily-routine.
4. The real asylum for the artsy-goods-freak like me is just the second floor of Opus One. Been dying to see the gradation colours start from the pastel to the shocking palettes of its store, I  easily buy everything I saw cute. That's the reason why my allowance comes to the limit earlier each month, my father will bomb me if he knows.
5. Only scissor, ruler (meet the plastics and the metals also), cutter, and glue are the very best pals of my privy desk. All those materials are used for the crafty pleasure, a cry of greeting for scrapbooking.
6. Art? Maniac. Digitally used Photoshop for designing since the junior era, and still continuing the same action until now. Propaganda-Poster-and-its-stuff are tickling my pulse everyday, "Dah tolong desain-in *ini* *itu* *gini* *gitu* dong!" commonly record it through my ears.
7. For those who don't know, I ail Leg Length Inequality. Contract me for the lifetime.
8. I'm-a-skincare-junkie just because to expel these pimples.
9. I hate any kind of smokes!
10. I have a fake account of Instagram just for following the appropriate cafe to sit in and the online shop to sneak in. (Just like what girls do nowadays)
11. I dedicate myself to run six times (or more) on the lap of Saraga, at least once for a week.
12. Hardly cry for a sad movie. Hardly.
13. Happily having friends who stay overnight in my room, sleepover they described.
14. Contributing myself for the debut magazine I organised with the cool team I choose independently. Gladly knowing it'll become so quickly cimpi this year.
15. I use my voice for the pop-jazzy-folky-songs. Also, I'd rather choose hearing my favourite songs from the local radio instead of playing them from my own playlist.
16. I just read for the children fiction and fairytale stories, and adore Jacqueline Wilson's books for ages.
17. I spent my high school life for the English course, started from the beginning until the TOEFL class every Saturday for 6 hours of each meeting. Penyiksaan terbesar dalam hidup.
18. You may easily see my hair colour turns to the dark brown when it grows longer to its period.
19. I always feel sorry not bringing my own mukena to campus.
20. I'm jumping too deep for the academical thingies to appreciate what my parents had done and what they had been giving to me through this 20 years of living. Will immediately succeed everything they fight for me for at least couple years from now on.

For the bonus: I was born to a family group which has India-Chinese-Bengkulu-Solo of their blood.

Namaste.

Wes Anderson

Wes Anderson; a chic American film director and screenwriter I've followed his "colour-palettes" for ages. Been astonishingly trapping myself through his world (you may check my personal Pinterest's board and see how many times I pinned some of his thingies) and adoring his specific visual by the tone of his colors.

"There are still faint glimmers of civilization left in this barbaric slaughterhouse that was once known as humanity." -The Grand Budapest Hotel

Mistakes

Let's stop pretending that every person in this world was born from at least an inch of a mistake. I was. I did mistakes, a lot. Normally, people who had just done it are promising for not reduplicating it again. Take a little bit close to the last word I typed; which is explaining that if they did it again constantly (maybe can be counted for thousands) well, I guarantee there must be something wrong with them. Human error, tho?

From now on, I'll obey my own rules; to erase those kind of mistakes I've faced and to change them to be something undefined. I'm tired, definitely. To close your eyes is good, to seal your mouth is better, and to cover up your ears is even the best. Case closed, this is life I crave for; to laugh, to roll over the carpet, to scream out loud, to pay attention to every detail, and to forget the one who destroyed me wickedly.

Screw the bad guy, screw.

Berwujud

"Ketika takdir sedang main-main, terkadang memang sedikit menggelitik. Sekarang takdir mempertemukan tetes-tetes kejujuran; tertampung penuh."

Anak muda; datang ia dengan segala kebimbangan dan tanda tanya menuliskan kebenaran. Simply funny when things you are waiting for come without permission; tidak, ia permisi dengan jemari mengetuk kolom percakapan.

"Tuhan Maha Baik, Ia menawarkan kenyataan penebus rasa sakit tak berkesudahan."

Tak perlu melihat jarum jam berputar satu hari penuh, kebenaran tetap akan jadi kebenaran dan kubangan akan tetap jadi kubangan. Mau tercipratkan kebohongan dari kubangan kotor tak tertahankan?

"Karena omong-doang memang berwujud dan berbau busuk."

Bask in Blossoms

It never fails to fond my days off; Kinfolk.

One of my favourite things to do: plunging to Kinfolk's website and literally clicking to the film subject, but too bad Vimeo here is banned (I thanked Tae Kim for finally uploading some of Kinfolk's short films and your channel on YouTube has new subscriber now; me on purposes). So, what's your favourite archive? Saturdays, definitely.

Kinfolk Saturdays: Hosting a Flower Potluck

Few tips for hosting your own flower potluck I got from Kinfolk's stories:

1. Make sure you have plenty of shears/scissors and buckets or vases on hand. It's also nice to have some twine or ribbon for making little hand bouquets to bring to a friend.
2. Clear a table for all your flowers and greenery; order by shape, colour, size, variety, scent-whatever makes the most sense to you.
3. The rules are: There are no rules. Some like to make really wild, frenzied bouquets; some like to make prim and proper posies. Let everyone pick their fancy and go with it. Flowers are personal.
4. One bit of helpful advice: Cut the stems at an angle for more water absorption and cut the leaves off the end of stems (anything below the waterline). This will keep your arrangements fresher for longer.
5. Now that everyone's had their fill of flowers, enjoy a simple meal together with your bouquets strewn about. No need for anything fancy-your flowered setting will bring charm to your meal no matter how mundane.

Kinfolk Saturdays: Swimming in Wild Waters

These words come up from my own perspective ideal; all time favourite thoughts I want to do before dying is jumping down from the cliff to the crystal water coloured by blue or green or grey or kind of those stuff, encircled by the pine trees, and watching sun flicker overhead. I'm always thinking how it feels to stand up and walk into the surface of that untamed waters which filled by the big wild stones under; immersing your body and let the outdoor atmosphere calms your mind down.

Kinfolk Saturdays in Charleston

The very first film of Kinfolk I had watched over and becoming the super best idea I added to my "for two" list. You may see the video here: Kinfolk Saturdays in Charleston (I am forever loving the touch of colours that Kinfolk delivers to its photographs and videos)

Happy fasting everyone.

Holly Weekend

Been finishing a privy monthly board making it underneath the warm weather and beside the flowery curtain with the window open. Some tips I will immediately add to my list of relishing my last holly weekend (peculiarly on Sunday) in Bandung (been preparing myself to go back home next Wednesday, instead of making my parents to stop complaining why I don't back to Jakarta early like any other friends make those days). Here they are:

1. Design! A hundred percent am loving designing, starting from editing the layout for my internal magazine (named as the 7th edition of Geosphere) and also arranging some fancy ideas of my own fondness like (I have mentioned it from the first paragraph) that monthly project, masking sticker for instax, private journal for the next semester (a tribute of finally passing the sophomore period), greeting cards for some people's birthday bash, and those attractive things you can make digitally and be printed on various papers.
2. Go to the cinema! The cheapest activity to reach the happiness of this modern era (well at least choose the inexpensive theatre to be watched) and please, I beg you for not purchasing your money for just a so-so movie, once you replace it to a ticket make sure no regrets allowed while the transaction happened. (I watched The Fault in Our Stars for 125 minutes of its duration and Birdy's voice was just the only reason why I sat on my sofa.)
3. Cook! Salsa sauce, completed with some tomatoes and big onions!

A quote I got from my favourite Pony Anarchy: "Design can be art. Design can be aesthetics. Design is so simple, that's why it is so complicated." -Paul Rand

Typical Holiday

Hello fellow young darlings,

I simply deal with an archaic holiday which takes some long-term months to posses it. Here I am inside my tiny chamber, be hemmed in a Thai dragon fruit scent upon the secret cellarage wanting to give you a recipe how to find a shortcut to enjoy your holiday:

1. Check what's on your stereo; typically choosing folky tune like (I newly added to my favorite list) The Oh Hello's, can eternally oscillate your mood in a good way.
2. The easiest way to have fun is scrolling down to the electronic magazine such as Local Wolves (a capture from my screenshot I uploaded a minute ago); a cross-out way to feel like a lime-juicer, bloody-hell! (Cellar Door, can be added too nowadays).
3. Last but not least, picking up your favorite tee shirt to sleep in. Oh I really love sleeping.

Merry New Bloody Year

Hello cranky people who are becoming cranky because of the fireworks sound effects have been damaging your environment, or maybe becoming cranky because some people have put Twitter as their new rubbish bin to throw away the trash (simply known as tweet) to your personal timeline? Got my point? Nice.

As the one who lives in the corner of this frigging city, renowned as Jakarta's point-of-view, the hysteria of welcoming the newest year (each year) is becoming so vital here. Streets are crowded with some people who are requesting some wishes to live happily ever after (forever) on Earth. I just can say: amen.

Question reveals:

What do you actually do to face the last digit changes on your calendar, Dah?

Answers are given:

As a person who was born by a person too (called Mum), I'm now truthfully wearing a pair of Barney slippers to make my foot feel a bit warm under this frigging chilly air conditioner on my wall.

All stuff of mine magically change to purple color. So does Barney.

And daring myself to finish reading Dork Diaries - Pop Star, authored by Rachel Renée Russell (best seller of New York Times, FYI). But I've newly reached page 140, and it needs 170 pages to end it up. Screw my indolence then. 

Nikki's life is sometimes too complicated to be understood.

Once in a while, I opened my dashboard of this blog and randomly clicking to Putri Soe's blog, finding her first video about "5 Things I Hate On Instagram" and guessing that I couldn't stop laughing over its video because of her facial expression and the way she delivered her speech to the audience. She needed 2 minutes and 8 seconds to do the opening, and I heard a music of "Mamang Gerobak Es Krim Walls" during her video recorded. Awesome to top, funniest girl is alive! So to recall it, I've downloaded this video, applauding myself then, ladies and gentlemen.

"Free advertising. Smart."

Honestly, I realize this holiday will just send me hundred calories to my tiny-little-body every minute my tummy asked to be fed. In fact I lose 2 kilograms of my weight just in a day, and thank God that now I can get my 1 kilogram of fat again, I'm now a 45-kilo-girl. But what the hell is happening with my cheeks? Do these chubby cheeks suit me well? I guess no. Decrease yourselves cheeks, go away to the other side of my body, amen.

Thank you for reading the explanation about what I'm doing during this holly new year's eve. And also thank you for Rudi Hadisuwarno's cosmetic products to make me feel his magic hands through my hair, it smells like saloon-for-everyday! P.S. Don't try to scornfully ruin my beautiful life I've built for 18 years and 9 months, cause I'll face my 19th birthday on the 6th of March (much more important).

Merry new bloody year, everyone.

Inflated Self-Love

Fresh from the oven! Been baking the newest artwork, made for and by myself :3

First of all, I'd like to congratulate my own self for not going to join UAS of Physics this semester (as a remedial of the calculation from 1st and 2nd Mid-Term test before). Yeeeha! Am feeling so grateful of accepting this miracle. Thank you for answering my prayer ya Allah, I'm so blessed O:)

Instead of denying hustle and bustle which are heard from my tummy (grievously hungry), I concluded to do design again after a hundred years can't touch my own Photoshop's world! I love having quality time with myself while sketching, editing, and also designing some artworks to be produced. And yet I realize that I've never been making any scrap of mine, I'm just busy creating some scrapbooks which will dedicate to my closest friends when their birthdays arrive. And I'm so a-hundred-percent happy of finishing the result! The concept I've designed is truly reflecting the horizon of my own fairytale with those animals and flowers spread around the Merry-Go-Round, how cute :3

Talking about loving yourself, I'm yearning to be loved by my own self. Sometimes, those egoistical things for not thinking the real condition of your soul and body had been decreasing the connection between what you've believed and you haven't. Thinking that how somebody can be so mean of directly becoming that cruel to me. I'm tired of being betrayed by someone whom I finally trust. I'm tired of being dishonorably discharged by someone whom I finally believe. I'm tired of being the second option by someone whom I finally depend on. But blah, who the hell cares? Being mocked doesn't mean I'm accepting everything you've done to me, I against but do not want to recall and also respond. I'm done defending your territory.

I'm sorry if I'm so busy growing up Pak, Bu. I do miss you a lot, I can't be separated in a long time with you both.

But I'm not alone, there are still two people who never hurt me since I was born to this world: my parents, Bapak and Ibu. I'm the witness of every love they have given to me. I don't have to wait someone to give me loves and fill me up, because Bapak and Ibu are always supplying those materials to me every time I need. No one else can do, no one. The dependable reason of studying here in Bandung is just going to fight for the happiness of my parents that I'll give to them after graduating from this institute and getting an appropriate job to be declared as the best finish line of my parents ever did to their children which is started from this year. Ya Allah beri saya kesempatan untuk membahagiakan kedua orangtua saya, amin.

Happy 18th birthday to my super alter ego, Irviani! May your new age will bring you a high of joyfulness to your whole life ({})

Talking about birthday, one of my closest fellas has celebrated her 18th birthday today! To cherish her special day, I've made a birthday scrap with pastel tribal pattern as the background to her. Hope you like my design, Vi. For the present, you might have to wait me to come when 21st of December arrives!

I've spoken too much on my blog lately, and to close this posting I want to say: good night everyone!

My New Microblogging Platform Called Tumblr

Ahoy! After deleting my old Tumblr 3 years ago, I'm officially back again. I named my account as "Locavore Becoming A Screenager". Yes instead of ignoring my treacherous life, I spend a lot of time in front of the computer screen doing some subjective desires to be a peeping tom for hours. So, I thank the one who created Interconnected Network for bringing us this paradise to this world. At last, feel free to open and re-blog my pages :D

Reaching Some Goals

Dearest readers, I've finally opened my eyes after seeing TL which was talking about "Blogging", so for tonight I'll share a little bit story of mine. About what? Love? Oh maybe not, I'm going to talk about my goals, dreams, and also my ambition.

Just like you know, I have to prepare myself and also everything which is related to National Exam next year. My deadline is about 3-4 months from now, instead I have to focus on which university can guide me to open the gate of future. On this blog, I want to tell you about the university which has been added to my favorite list. Maybe most of you have known the name of that university, yes you are right, I choose ITB - Institut Teknologi Bandung. When I was young, I've never thought about "I'm going to be a doctor" or "I'm going to be an architect" or maybe "I'm going to be a President", I was just enjoying some activities, called ART. I love drawing so much, I love singing also, I love playing PlayStation too! I totally am proud of being a girl who have known something about art since I was young. When I was in a Junior High School, I was thinking of being an architect, it was all because of The Sims 3. I love making my own Sims' home, I could design what I want with that home, my creativity has told me that I have a potential in this area. But in the last year of Junior High School, I changed my mind, I decided to become a dentist. On the other hand, after a billion times of thinking, I truly wanted to be a doctor in University of Indonesia when I entered Senior High School, you maybe could call me freak on that time, because yah I would do anything to get that greatest faculty. And yeah I changed my mind again, I suddenly am falling in love with ITB for no reason. I just don't know how can I easily fall for you, ITB. Majoring FTTM is what I want know, I'm going to get it so much, it doesn't matter if I have to fight with everything around me, I'll pass it wholeheartedly. I want to reap some benefits from FTTM, I'm going to work as a professional someday. But hey I'm curious enough with FEUI, the most favorite faculty of Social Class. Elvia told me that FEUI is good for my self, I can handle and solve or maybe majoring everything well if I join this faculty. But once again, I'm not going to take a risk, totally afraid of choosing FEUI, she said that I can be there, but yeah I'm not a hundred percent sure with my self.

So, what is my goal? I'm going to be rich, of course, but you have to know: Success is not counted by the amount of money that you get in the future, the most important thing is how can you bring the HAPPINESS to yourself and others around you someday. That's the point of life. So "Happiness" is the answer of my goal then. At last, dream will always be just a dream if you do not want to make it comes true.
