Melted to Black

Fondu au Noir by Cœur de Pirate

Sleep, the worst is over and you enter the dance

The worst aside, you sell yourself to the rhythm

You sow happiness with every step you make

And when you wake up, life continues

For sure you're gone with the wind, in a world without music

Without your shades that are a bit too specific

You swim in pain and it's almost time

to close your eyes in the death that awaits you

And it hurts it's because he doesn't understand

That nothing has swum in your heart for so long

And if it hurts, it's because he doesn't see you

While your smile will eventually fade away

Sleep, the worst is over, it won't get you

Out of breath, you're no longer its pray

your efforts are useless to the madness of others

Who will forget quite quickly that you're no longer one of us

And if it hurts it's because he doesn't understand

That nothing has swum in your heart for so long

And if it hurts, it's becaise it/he doesn't see you

While your smile will eventually fade away

When i need kind of quite moment of my self, idk why i love to hear this song. Actually this song is sang by Cœur de Pirate in French. But i just try to find the meaning and it's quite sad, so i think this song is about a girl that seeing to a boy who doesn't even notice her. But i just love the song. They also have another english translation with it's title 'Faded in Black'. You might want to hear, here is the video with the original lyrics:

Stay Healthy, Good People.

You might wondering how i spent the #88LoveLifeSOIREE because i won blog competition for #88LoveLife readers from Diana Rikasari like i wrote in this blog post. Buttt... there are no stories 😭😭😭 because i cannot go to that event.

The story begin with my boyfie that comin to town in Thursday, May 12nd. So after my happy post on Tuesday, a couple of days, he was coming and make me happier. I was picked him up on the bus station and everything went well. Until the next day after, after we spent a night watching AADC 2, i feel my pain in the ass like getting worse. It's really a pain in the ass, yea it's hemmorhoid. Mine is external hemmorhoid. So, around 11pm something, my boy drive me to the hospital, and there the doctor said i need to take surgery soon. I wish i could get the surgery on Saturday but unlucky me, it's possible to do in Monday. 

Finally i spent my weekend on the hospital and cancelled to go to #88LoveLifeSOIREE and only see all the pic from Kak Diana's IG and Denia's IG 😭😭

I never be in hospital as a patient in my whole life, and once i become a patient, it takes a lot of painful and strikely break my dreams to meet kak Diana also inhibit me for doing my thesis. With all those painful feeling, i promise will eat fruit and veggie more, less spicy food, and more water for sure. Doctor said my hemmorhoid is on stage III, and even thou it already taken, but if i did not change my food habit, i might come again.. 😣😷 oh please i won't let that happen again.

For you who have hemmorhoid in low level, please be aware, don't let this thing happen to you. Just do everything to stay healthy.

Chat me on my Snap!

There are moreeee social media nowadays!
The famous one is Snapchat.

Thank you to Evan Spiegel, Bobby Murphy, and Reggie Brown for create this such a thing.
From the famous Facebook which we can upload words, picture, until video, then the others platform that also famous is Twitter which more focus in words that called tweet. Until Instagram for those who love visual more than words, cause it's focus in picture and video.

Then in 2011, Snapchat was released and become a thing these days. This platform is more like Instagram that focused on visualize (picture and video), but the thing is, if you uploaded pic or vid in 'Story' (it's kinda 'Home' on Facebook), they just lasting for 24 hours, and you can see who and howmany people seen your story.

The most i like about snapchat is, they have many kind of filter. There is Geofilter its kinda filter that can fit your area (psst.. now there is On-Demand Geofilter), the cute one is face filter, which regularly change. The basic filter actually are clock, temperature, speed, bw, vintage, vignette, brighter, and for video there are slo-mo, fast foward, super fast foward, and rewind.

For you who doesn't Snapchat yet, you have to try this platform. The next step is... add me as a friend!! Yay.. *maksa 😝

i supposed to post a GIF but didn't find the way yet 

😝

For the last, just chat me on my Snap! 😁

Throwback Moment

It's a little throwback moment, when i did my first interview to Ersa Adiprasetya a.k.a Echa from Hey Echa ! for my final assignment which is not finished yet till now *drooling eyes*.
Anyway, this interview held in Lokal Hotel & Restaurant which lately known for AADC 2 shoot location.

A little review, i love all the menu here, because its taste good and not so expensive. I might loved to stay to their hotel too, because beside the colorful-abstract wallpaper, i just loved the architechture and design of the room type B or as known as Mezzanine Type. Its unique yet modern with its two floor in a room. I think i'm gonna make a bedroom like this hotel room someday :p

i never found a hotel room like this! They arrange iPhone 5 speakers & charger dock, so modern tho..

cozy and large living room. The most lovely patternize floor.

mini space for the working desk. pst, this room type having its own pool-view balcony. WOW!

Anyway, i also want to share some pic of mine and Echa 😄😄😄

only this pic had a high pixel tho..

I love all the dessert here too, on the picture above is Mint Mojito and sweet dessert (i'm forget the name 😁 ) consist of apple from malang, with caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream...

If you come to Jogjakarta, don't missed this resto for hang out or maybe try a night to stay.


cheers,

My Dream Wedding Dress : Glowing Gown by Zac Posen

Just do some strolling on explore posts in instagram, and find out this breath-taking gown by Zac Posen!

picture source

About 5 days ago, there is the Met Gala (formally called the Costume Institute Gala, also knows as The Met Ball), and annual fundrising gala for the benefit of the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute at NYC. So this is kinda annual explosion of fashion and celebrity, where the red carpet fashion are widely photographed, reviewed, critiqued, and emulated. Anna Wintour (the Vouge editor in chief) is the chair for this event since 1995. Anna with Vogue staff also managed the guest list that only includes 650 - 700 people. And if you mind to come (since you are not in the guest list), prepare $25,000 for get the ticket ONLY! But also think about the dress, the car, make up, and another kind of things. So if you're not dating a hot buddy like Zayn Malik, maybe you could give a try next year.

For this year Met Gala, the themed was Manus x Machina : Fashion in an Age of Technology. So, this brilliant idea comes from an American fashion designer Zachary E. Posen as known for his label Zac Posen, to create this starry-night-gown from organza and fiber optics! With the elegance such a cinderella dress, whose girl will reject this magical gown? For me, this gown fit the themed perfectly. Andddd.. the lucky one who wear this gown is ME (pfft.. *in my dream*) an American actrees Claire Danes, a long time friend of Zac Posen. Hm.. ryt now i'm thinking about making friend with Mr. Posen, lol.

Even though i just saw it in a picture and video, i still holding my breath for a second and admiring this gown so much, here i also put the creator, the details of the gown, and a clips of its video...

The handsome and talented Zac Posen

details of Zac Posen Glowing Gown

I think, some girls including me, just found our dream wedding dress like this one! Great Job Mr. Posen!

Thank God, it's #88LOVELIFE Vol.2

picture source

#88LoveLife Vol. 2 is finally released!! Yaayyy, i know it's quite late to post this news since this lovely book was released on January 2016. Yep! Good timing for accompany you in this new year. If you notice, i actually already post some of #88LoveLife Vol. 1 quotes on my blog. It's like my another bible which become my role to be a positive-cheerful-kind of human being. Like a vitamin for my soul. Kind of reminder to be a better person.

And this second volume also become my favorite one. It's start with the first qoute that teach you to love everything you do. I learn about how to apreciate my self, my life, and also love others even the haters. It makes me moorrreee grateful for everything i have. That life is imperfect, but that's imperfection we got just makes our life more colorful. I learn about it just the way we face our life through good day and bad day (i love the cupcake analogy on the page #48). This book also teach me about letting go things. Another lesson learn, especially for me, even howmany times i got fall and fail, i would never stop try to get up and i do believe i will be a better person tommorow. I will be a better one with a mind full of positive thinking, and a heart full of love and joyness.

My 2015 goin a bit hard (didn't mean to complain and be ungrateful), but i have a fight with my parents and i run away from home (i mean from my boarding house, that here in Jogja i'm living alone) because i can't handle their complain about my study, it's such a big push for me. Yes, last year was my 7th years in collage and i didn't graduate yet. It's like a 'what a big shame, Laras', you're not that stupid but in fact you didn't graduate yet. For me, looking to (almost) my close friends busy with working life is very exhausted, i feel terribly shame of my self, useless as a person, a daugther, and a student. I live in sadness and my regretness of my past, and i always think if i can back to my past, i will do better, so maybe i have a better life today. In that time, i haven't anyone close to me because longdistance-boyfriend is living in Bekasi, my closest friend are working out of Jogja, so i have to bear all alone. I decided to applying job, and suddenly God gives me His hand, i accepted as human resouce in a new Hotel in town. Then i wake up, i'm not that useless person, i still have something in me. And finally i communicate with my parent, they do accept me with all my pass, and i promise them that i will be a better daughter for them, i will finished my study because that's all they want. And now, i almost finished my last assignment and hopefully this May i get my final presentation to be a S.I.Kom.

But, there's a day that i still regreting my mistake in past, and i just can't remove it from my head. Till i read this #36 words of #88LoveLife :

"when you dwell in sadness, life will leave you behind. Move on. Forgive and forget, even those who do not forgive you. Happiness is not defined by the number of people who love you or hate you. Happiness is about how you love and forgive both others and yourself."

Then i remember, maybe all the regret still come because i didn't forgive my self. How to move on, is i need to forgive my self first. Forgive and forget my all mistakes in past and learn from them. The idea of forgive itself as closer as letting go, letting go my past and build a new me. Those words become my favorite quote from #88LoveLife Vol. 2, it's really really help me to be better when i don't know how to stopped my regretness. Tbh, i can't even say how much i love this book (also the first volume), that makes me thankful also adore kak Diana Rikasari so much, and also thank to kak Dinda Puspitasari who create those colorful-bright illustration that's complete this book. All the cheerful colors and illustration such a wrap for this bright-happy-thought book.

In this second volume, i also find more parenting words than in the volume 1. Since i'am not a mother, i see this quote as the child, Shahmeer would be feeling loved and warms when he read this story someday. And when i become a mother someday, i will try to be a lovable mother. Family always come first, this is also i love about this book, how kak Diana presenting this book for her husband and her son. How she tells about being a wife to her husband is about to be a partner in life too, a team for each other. It seems sweet you know. This book also teach you about her relationship with the Owner of our life, that it's good to talk to Him. And this is kinda teach me to become closer to God. :)

And how i love this book alot, it's not promise you that you will always get a happy-perfect life, but you can have a happy-perfect life with all the imperfection in life, all just about how you see life and how precious it is. 

After my fave quote in page #36, my fave illustration is in page #43. I found that it's a strongest colours among others pages, it's color like summer with some flowers bloom, and it has a simply qoute that represent the whole book : "your happy life is a mindset away."

Pic taken by me

For the last, i just want to say to kak Diana and kak Dinda, "Maybe everyone can buy and read #88LoveLife (both Vol. 1& Vol. 2), but for me it is an honor to be a reader of your book, thank you for inspiring me and all the readers through this love-bible-of-live". I can say, if my religion is love, this book must be the bible. :)

Lots of love,

#88LoveLife loyal reader.
