Race In The Midst of Techs and Trends

In the pace of this fast moving life

to finish a writing can be so demanding. 

Lucky I have my blackberry with me all the time

so anytime a precious little thought strikes my mind

I can type them straight away. 

But another problem occurs when I'm driving, 

cause we know it's foolish to write and drive at the same time. 

So I'm thinking of a little recording tool will assist me better this year.

Once you loose that little tiny thought, 

you'll loose them all. 

And it's a shame 

Cause you never know what a tiny seed can turn into when it grows

Keeping up with the latest gear of technology is a must 

as it helps you write better and to create clearer

I really hope I'll bring only the best work 

to inspire as much reader as possible

and I'll do whatever it takes to dig deeper, 

observe, research, and even change for a better outcome (:

Symptom, Syndrome, Sync

I just realize if I really like something be it a book, movie, person, conversation or even a food,

my heart will feel the excitement along the way but

I have the urge feeling to stop immediately cause I don't want this pleasure to end

and I don't want to ruin the "taste".

That's my first scheme

The other scheme is that I tend to be so attach 

to the things I like and I don't want a single moment of separation.

For example, when I read a book that really caught my attention, 

I will have this auto pilot system that will make me 

read and read and read 

and it makes me for get everything else. 

Like to shower, eat, or even just to

grab a glass of water

I will not move. 

My eyes will open wide and bright

like I just had a shot of double espresso

Weird I know

Maybe some of you are just like me

You tell me !

why so serious ?

These are photos from Nisita, tomorrow I'll bring you from Enjie. 

Make sure to check out Nisita's work here 

Good night you young and beautiful !

Do You Have A Strange Habit ?

I have several of random and strange habit in life. Like counting whenever I climb the stairs or 

counting when I brush my teeth. I do that unconsciously and still doing it up until today.

But today we'll talk about this weird habit of keeping my bbm conversations.

Lately I've tried to erase some of unimportant conversation just because I don't want my phone memory
to explode and not only it will make my BB lag but it will put my BB to it's last resort !

But somehow after erasing some of the conversations, 

my conversation list still hold up to 30 records. 

So I try to eliminate some more. 

I'll go to the conversation I had with my family or my bff Baby. 

The reason why I erase those records is because 

I will always meet my family when I got home, 

and as for Baby, she will always bb me. 

Most of our conversations are based on similar things such as 

"good morning dear", "semangat!", "have you had breakfast/lunch/dinner ?", 

"are you skinnier or fatter ? Send me your pic now",

sometimes she would send me the pic of her meal too.

And finally "good night dear, sleep tight, I love you".

So you know why I erase her record right ?

Cause I already know the pattern of her bbm.

The main reason why I don't erase the rest of my conversation even though it is a month old chat. 

Because I like to go through the chat and I love what we talked about a month a go. 

Well ok actually the real reason is that because I'm afraid I won't be able to have the same nice and memorable conversation like we used to have. 

Because I'm afraid we won't have another chat anymore no more. 

You see I'm not the type of person who would take the liberty to bb anyone first without any reason.

Well maybe once in a blue moon hahaha... 

But if I feel like I'm close enough to someone like my family or bff, 

I don't care I'll just bb them anytime I feel like without even considering whether they're busy at work or they might be too tired to reply. 

I even use "PING!!!" to them :D

That's because I'm convinced that no matter what I do, no matter which time I pick, 

even those when you call a bad timing, they will always reply me asap and will always 

forgive what I've done through BBM :p

They love me and accept me for who I am, that's comforting (: 

I really should conquer my fear and in this case myself. 

And maybe the right title for this post would be "Conquer Your Fear" lol !

PS: please bear with me when you see the editing of some of
       the pics in here, I'm a newbie in editing :p
       I'll improve myself, don't worry 

Make it your habit to do things you are afraid of. 

If you do what you are afraid of, then your fear dies. 

When you are brave, this invisible power rises up inside of you  

and your every act of courage leads to the increase of your courage, 

which makes you stronger and braver when you confront fear in the future. 

Every time you do not have a guarantee of success, take a step and move forward, 

and your fear will decrease as your courage and confidence increases. 

Finally, you will reach a stage in your life 

when you are not afraid of anything.

Folly Vs Prudent

I just read a blog from a public figure because I was intrigued by the headline.
She wrote about a war in one of the country in Middle East and gave a very witless comment
about it after she saw what happen in the news one time only.
That is just unwise and not a clever thing to do for a public figure to write
and put a very strong statement and comment on a politic situation
especially when it's not our own country.
If it's our own country we get to comment freely because we live in the country and
we know the situation better than just an outsider.

Knowing that she has a lot of reader and by writing such a careless post
she could easily induced her reader that can potentially become their belief.
Especially when most of the reader are teenagers who are looking for a role model
when they're still in search for their identity.

You know how teenagers are right ?
I've been through that phase and I've seen the pattern and motives in repetition from time to time.
Nothing's new with their behavior really.  
A phase of age that is still vulnerable but at the same time have a prominent potential !
A generation that needs a special care that comes with a package says "FRAGILE !!! Handle with care".

I have no intention to undermine the writer/public figure.
Of all the people you know I'm the one you can point liberally for doing too many impulsive and foolish things.
Everyone has their own voice and everyone's a critic yes !
But all I'm asking is please act wise before you say or do something that involve others especially if it affects a certain organization or a country

So, here's a piece of thought for today:  

if you are not educated on a certain subject it's best to say nothing

than to humiliate yourself

Behind The Birth of this blog

 Finally this is the result of the work of art I've mentioned on
my first post this year.
It's done exactly in 30 days ohh I'm on high !

It was a joyous experience to work with Nisita and Enjie,
young immensely talented young women.
To be involved in the making and editing process is another wonder for me.
This girls know exactly what they're doing
and they add no fuss to it !

This surely not be the last time we make art together.
A special thanks goes to Hendra the manager who have worked as hard as the girls
Much love and respect also goes to Valerie my sister slash make up artist.

I love reading and I found through writing I’m opening my heart to others, sharing thoughts that intrigue me in everyday life, and as funny as it sounds I feel alive when I’m writing

I have millions err.. zillions of thoughts trying to get out of my head

Cause I have a curious mind. I tend to ask too many questions

Questions open your eyes and make you think deeper, wider, and through question you’ll find unexpected answer

Words impress me. If a man can speak eloquently and beautifully to me, I just melt on the floor

Music also help me when I'm writing but it also depend on my mood at the time

It’s a self expression

I can also translate my passion which is
fashion, beauty, photography and education

There are some people who think more than they talk and some who talk more than they think. But I’m this rare hybrid who thinks much and talk in a ridiculously amount of words. So I figured why not start a blog where I can talk my mind into it and remember my thought at the same time

I’m an open book, much easier for you to read

I know inspiration comes unnoticed so I really pay attention to things especially people around me

As I say before, sharing always add sweetness to life
So I found this blog as another way to share

PS: Please don't mind the quality of the video,

      this is the maximum limit of the video that can be uploaded

      i'll find a way to give you better one ;)

Good Work Can't Be Delayed

I was totally fingered today, I was up all night because some of my buds are visiting me

and they almost wear me out. 

But I was wangled to stay up during morning service at church, 

almost fall asleep by the end of the service though. 

The service finish at 12ish, I've pictured in mind I can fly straight to bed

but my photographer friends have something else in mind that has to be done by today.

They didn't insist but I'm not one to pass on such a cool opportunity.

So we did it anyway.

It's midnight and I still can't sleep and I have to be up by 6 tomorrow *sigh* 

I am charmed to have a marvelous team who know how to be spontaneous.

It reminds me of one of my favorite sentence

"I'm up for anything" 

I should add almost to that statement actually (:

My make up artist which is my sis were so tired today but when I tell her about this,

she come up with a dramatic make up for this shoot.

The location quite catchy today
