lately

it should be like fred perry. the looks, cut, stitching, color, just everything. simple as it looks somehow its hard to achieve and it turns out messy.

all requirements are written there, right in the middle of page 4.

in the test shoot itself, there are 9 mistakes found and a decision to make. either to change the items or change the whole concept and theme.

would it be better to break that concept and create 5 different types of red? it will be hard though.

these days are too crazy, no time to rest. an apology was made. we did not play our roles.

dont blame anyone if the tailoring was bad. its the only thing that was available at that time.

the owner of sheep told not to speak a single word, a pitching session is useless, it just a waste of time.

waiting part is useless. the russian - jewish model never showed up.

brand name was unknown but it was familiar. is it the same spelling as the future to be editor in chief?

in the middle of the photo shoot, we decided to do something else like a lawyer. would it be bazaar enough?

the photo story and the concept has to be clear in the eyes of the audience. dont wanna stand there like a mannequin and go home failed.

it was a foolish decision to choose the berry print lingerie, its not high fashion at all. all of this is just a game, a game that we as the future fashion slaves have to play.

why it didnt work out? If only we chose the right concept and do everything in the right way from the beginning. if we did, we’re holding a glass of chardonnay by now. it wont kill to celebrate. But it was too late, we almost lost in the game and a little chance of surviving in this holyfashionbitchiness world.

inspirations from the other side of the world come and go. great ideas from uncle karl and mr. marc but giving up is the only thing to do because of limited resources.

all the members just want to quit and run away. can they make it? probably not.

we are all drowning in the pool of despair. so tired, so uninspired. so stressed that you just wanna dance in the field of hope. our heads is battling with our hearts, to make it through.

the presentation is in 2 week. get it done, make a good show, when the curtains closed its over. and then enjoy a great time in barbados.

unplanned and unprepared, take a shot for another pitching with nylon as the new muse of the project. hoping for a better result.

it will be a great mercy if the master smile. still confused and out of our minds. we need the view in the boulevard to clear our thoughts.

never knowing the how it will turn out, at least we are trying our best. it will hurt if the spread turns out flat.

believing that someday a guardian angel with a versace jumpsuit will come and guide us through.

or…

if i stumble and fall, i wont cry. give me a bullet and a gun. promise to kiss me before you say goodbye and i’ll smile for you in return. i’ll do it now, i’ll make it fast. with a white rose in my hand, i wish u the best of luck.

cheers,

rome.. ohh.. rome..

VACATION!! rania dan indri in desperate need of vacation.

and kita mutusin buat pergi keluar blanda.. mm.. tpatnya amsterdam yg membosankan dan dingin ini.

plan pertama kita.. pengen kliling german. i really mean keliling!
tapi gr2 punya pikiran klo keliling itu bakal cape banget.. dan
ternyata ada tawaran lebih bagus. jadi batallah rencana pergi k german.

tawaran yg lbh bagus yg g maxud disini itu liburan k paris. ada
smacam paket.. tmasuk murahlaahh.. mkny kita tergoda (hohoho.. XD).
waktu mo booking..ternyata ga ada harga promosinya.. jadi jatohny lbh
mahal drpd yang pertama kita baca. akirnya kita nyari alternatif laen
dgn harga yg ga beda jauh.

alternatif yang kita dapet ituu.. ROME! yupp.. kita dapet tawaran k
rome dgn harga yg lbh mahal dikit dbanding paris. wajar sie.. scara
rome itu kan lbh jauh dr paris. stelah dilemma yg panjang.. (halahh.. )
kita ngebandingin2 isi kotanya.. akirny kita mutusin buat pergi k rome.
lagian jg tanggal pergi k paris itu sebelom gibran n andro brangkat.
padahal awalnya kita udah janji buat nganterin mreka k schipol.

soo… the decision is made.. DESTINATION ROME! with rania’s keyword: warm,  ancient places, vatican, colosseum, caffè e latte, fountains, and of course supeerr hot-itallian guys.. (hohoho XD) sounds perfect!! ehm.. i mean.. perfetto!!

minggu2 awal itu g sama indri kna vacation euphoria. sapa jg yg ga
seneng bs jalan2?! lgan d amsterdam jg sepi.. smua lg pada plg indo. jd
kita yg mo liburan ini mungkin aga2 noraakk.. jd pamer sana sini
(ups..).
pada suatu hari yg berangin (doh.. kapan jg blanda yg
flat ky pancake ini ga berangin..?!) di pathe arena.. wkt itu g sama
indri mo ntn harpot.. ketemu lah sama henry dan devina. tadiny emg
janjian bareng mo ntn harpot brg..tp gr2 hasrat perut harus makan. jadi
rania sama indri transit dulu di kfc. abis mrk sls ntn.. kita pamer
lagi (dohh.. ni org2 emg tukan pamer apa yah?!?! XP).
“Ehh.. kita mo
liburan looohh!! k rome.. 3 hari”. dari spotong kalimat ituu.. akirnya
henry sama devina jg jd mutusin buat ikutan. pasangan workacholic
(hihihi..) jd pengen gr2 kita peginya weekend. jd ga mengganggu
schedule kerja mreka yg padatt.

RANIA & INDRI : VACATION EUPHORIA CHRONIC! gmn ga tambah seneng
coba?! dari yang mo pergi b2.. akirny jd b4. ya seneng lah yaa.. jadi
lebih rame.

sampe di kmar.. indri sbg petugas booking.. lgsg sibuk booking sana
sini. termasuk buat henry and devina. setelah bbrp hari.. bbrp email..
ternyata… henry and devina dapet yang tanggal 27 jul dan ga tau
knapa.. rania and indri ga dapet. ga tau knapa juga.. tapi yang
ngebookingin justru ga dapet. emang agenny aga2 ga jelas. rombongan yg
tadinya 4 orang.. jd kpisah. g akirnya dapet tanggal 5 aug.

ditengah2 penantian menuju tanggal kbrangkatan k rome
(bahasanaaa..)… indri dapet telp dari kantor tmpt dia internship and
dapet news klo dia bakal mulai training lbh cpt dari rencana. si kantor
ngasih ijin buat indri klo emang dia mo liburan. jadi 2 hr stlh indri
dpt telp itu.. mulai lah dia training di KNOTs research. indri kerja..
rania mrana d 132g. (hmpf!)
anyway.. krn g ga ada kerjaan. so,
officially im da planner. akirny bbagai mcm list tmpat2 selengkap2ny
dbuat. yg bikin aga2 bingung.. tiket blom sampe. pdhl udah lama kita
booking. bbrp hr kmudian.. cek acc.. duit dah dtarik. jadilah
ksimpulan.. “ohh.. plg bentar lg sampe tiketnya”. soalny kt henry emg
ga lama stlh duit dtarik trus tketny sampe. tunggu… menunggu.. dan..
teruss.. menunggu. berhari2.. ga sampe2.. berminggu2.. ga sampe2. aneh.
bbrp mcm email udah dkirim k agent.. tp mrk nyuruh nunggu
(ohh-so-dutch-bureaucracy!). jd tiap pagi g turun.. ngecek kotak pos..
nunggu si mr. guido da caretaker buat ngecek pos yg msk k kotak dia.
berhari2 g ngecek.. teteepp ga ktemu2 sama si
mr.-im-oh-so-busy-caretaker. udah dtongkrongin dpan kantorny jg ga pnah
ktmu. sebel jg g wkt itu. akirny batas wkt yg dtentuin dah lewat.. dan
g harus ngambil tket itu k salah satu kantor agen itu. pdhl itu udah
hari jumat and minggunya kita brangkat.

AKIRNYA DAPET JUGA TIKETNYAA!! senenglaahh yaa..! hr sabtunya
shopping sunglaz n sndal jpit.. bli cmilan.. and mampir k gay parade.
of course with a very delicious happy feeling on top of it (hmm.. ky
sundae! wkakaa..).
sabtu mlm g sama skali ga tdr. sharusnya sie b2
ga tdr yah.. tp apa daya.. indri gugur. bhub g jg lom packing.. udah
janji ga tdr.. and pny feeling ga enak klo sampe g tdr.. jd skuat2ny g
tahan ga tdr. pagi itu plan brangkat dr diemen zuid batal gr2 tlat.
utgny dr diemen dah ada kreta.. jd naik lah kita k kreta. slama
pjalanan k schipol g dah ga thn bgt tuh.. rasanya dah pengen tepar.
akirny tepar d psawat and d kreta dr erport k termini stat.

Stelah
pjuangan tiket selesai.. legalah kita b2.. ROMEEE!!! ngrasain teriknya
matahari rome. dr yg kdinginan di amsterdam.. gr2 kita jg brangkat dah
siap dgn atribut summer clothing. sampe rome yg panas.. cukup bikin
pala pusing jg. mnurut info yg kita dapet dr inet.. kita harus naek bus
no skian (g lupa..) buat sampe k hotel. nunggu lah ya di halte..
ternyata itu bus ga dateng2 udah hampir sjaman. trus ada oma2 ngmg pake
bhs italy k g.. mnurut tebakan indri.. itu dia blg klo bus emg ga pnah
bener.. ga ngikutin jadwal. sebel.. g nanya jg tuh.. sama ptugas2ny yg
jga disitu.. dia blg.. ada bus laen yg bs jg.. and itu bus dah 2x lwat
dpan kita. huh! naek d bus itu.. brangkat.. stlh ngelwatin bus2 laen..
tnyt bus awal yg ga dateng2 itu ada.. tp d halte laen. uhh!!

sampe jg d hotel.. ehemm.. stlah jalan gr2 klewatan 2 stopan..
lbh tmpatny lg gr2 bus dsana ga ada tulisanny.. ga kya d blanda.
istirht bentar.. and jalan lagi. hr ptama ini kita makan di Hard Rock
Cafe.. krn mnurut saran dr rombgn ptama yg pgi.. dsna mkanan mahal2 and
ga worth sama mknanny. lgan kita b2 jg laper bgt and perlu porsi extra
banyak. bis makan pergi lah kita.. k yg namanya Trevi Fountain. g sie
suka banget sama fountain yg satu ini.. keren! naahh.. wkt itu g dpt
crita ttg ngelempar coin d fountain ini. toss 3 coin over your shoulder
to marry italian. sbnernya emg banyak versi soal tossing coin disini.
tapi.. yg kita percaya yg k3 ini aja. well.. dsatu sisi g jg mikir..
pasti ini crita buat nipu turis2 bodoh ( salah satuny mnurut pndpt tmn
g.. lele). jadi.. dikluarin lah coin2 dng nominal terkecil. 5cent and
10 cent. lempar d tuh coin sambil poto2.. (hoho XD). dr trevi yg panas
itu.. g ngiler ngeliat org2 makan gelato.. mampir d kita b2 bwt
istirahat bntar smbil makan gelato. yummy!! jalan dan berjalan lagi..
terus.. window shopping.. lost bentar.. trus sampe di popolo.. foto2
terus.. sampe cape.. akirnya pulang. sampe d hotel.. istirahat..
mandi.. nonton.. laper!! yg ada dkpala cmn HRC. akirnya pegilah kita
utk yg k2xny ksana. duduk.. baca menu.. pas mw order.. mba2nya
ngeliatin kita b2.. trus nanya “are you twins?!?!”.. hell no! di
amsterdam udah bnyk org yg blg. ini.. udah sampe rome.. indri udah ptg
rambut masii aja diblg kembar. hmpf..! bhub ngiler gr2 pas siangny ada
org d meja sblh mesen starter.. akirny kita mesen starter bagi 2.. udah
knyang bgt.. ngobrol2.. akirny kta pulang. lagi jalan menuju k halte..
org yg jlan d blakang kita ngmg “annyoongg haaseeyooo!!” (sjenisnya ni
hao?.. korean version). oya.. lupa g sebutin.. klo di blanda.. org2
asia smuanya dsapa pake kata “ni hao”… ternyata klo lo k rome… smua
org asia disapa pake.. “annyong haseyo”. awalny mayan seneng.. gr2
kbnykn ntn Kdrama.. and yg maen smuanya ky boneka.. tp lama2 g bete jg.
balik lagi k crita awal.. stlah dsapa2 ga jelas itu.. kita akirnya
jalan terus.. cuek.. ga ngrasa. orang yg dblakang akirnya ngmg.. “kita
ngeliat lo b2 makan d hrc.. blablabla..” endingnya tu 2 cowo itu mo
ngajak makan. ehem.. kata cowo disini refer to jenis klamin lawannya
wanita.. sama skali bkn brati yg berumur muda
(tuajelekpendekbapukbotak-red.). ngeles punya ngeles.. ktemu halte
terdekat.. akirny kita bisa kabur dari serangan pertanyaan2 dan ajakan2
lainnya. on the way home.. kita akirnya bikin ksimpulan klo.. di dunia
ini uang berbicara. ini berlaku jg buat recehan yg kita buang k trevi
fountain. well.. in some way ada italian yg nyamperin.. tp sesuai coin
yg kita lempar… thats what we get that nite! (hahahaa..).

hari k2 planningnya mo pegi k vatican. tp klo mo k vatican
itu harus pagi2.. krn bakal rame banget klo kita ksiangan. dari plan
bangun jam 6an spy bisa sarapan jam 7.. akirnya kita sarapan jam 9.
mnurut feeling g sblm brangkat k amsterdam.. ternyata bener.. paginya g
dapet (maap).. well.. g mikir.. here goes my holiday!.. perfect! uhh!!
utgny dkt sana ada apotik.. beli lah obat.. lgsg dminum. dpaxa jalan.
utg bisa. hari k2 ini acaranya dtuker sama acara hr k3.. gr2 kita telat
bangun itu. jd hari ini themenya ancient rome. tujuan awal kita pegi k
colosseum. spt kmrn2.. krn plannerny hr ini jg lg aga2 ga enak
(alesan..) jd sempet salah bis.. jalan.. trus sampe lah k satu jalan yg
ujungny kliatan colosseum. dijalan itu kita foto2 dgn backgroun fori
imperiali alias roman forum sambil terus jalan buat sampe k colosseum.
jalan terus d bawah matahari yang terik banget.. sempet dpalak
gladiator sialan.. jalan terus.. akirnya sampe jg k da legendary
colosseum. klo g sie smpet tpesona oleh bagusnya bangunan yg dbangun
jaman dulu itu. kita mutusin buat ngantri. ditengah2 antrian itu kita
smpet tpsona (hohoho.. XD) sama org2 yg nawarin buat masuk lgsg.. dapet
english tour colosseum and palatine hill. emg sngaja bgt tuh yg dpajang
org2ny cakep2.. and cewe2ny stylish abis (most of em..). tp bhub kita
males ikut bgituan.. mending muter2 sendiri.. bisa foto2.. istirahat
sesuka hati. jd mutusin buat stay di antrian. mayan lama tuh ngantri.
sampe kita liat diatas ada tulisan roma pass (ini kartu buat masuk 2
site ato museum with drect access and transport card.. kita beli!). tp
kita ga yakin krn dbuku itu tulisanny utk pertama kali roma pass ini
hrs diidentifikasi sama id or watsoever sama si petugas sblm masuk.
jadi ngantri lah kita dtempat tiket. stlh mayan lama desek2an.. sampe d
dpan loket.. dng santai si mba2nya bilang.. “ohh… u dont need to
que.. im sorry” and she grinned. DAMN!!! sharusnya da tulisan yg lbh
gede lg.. ato dbuku ga plu dbilang hrs ktmu petugas n blablabla. so..
every corner of the colosseum.. kita foto2. tp stlah lama.. kpala ga
kuat.. rmbut item lbh cpet nyerep panas.. ga tahan.. akirny nyerah.
kdpan palatine hill bentar.. foto.. trus makan k resto yg tdekat.. spt
yg g blg sblmny.. dgn hrga yg sama skli ga sbanding sama makanany.
lanjut k foto destination brikutny.. k mouth of truth. sblom ksana..
kita smpet istirahat bentar.. copot sendal.. dan ternyata kaki jd
belang2.. nyisain cap sendal jepit d kaki. sampe di mouth of truth..
foto skali.. rencana mo k pantheon tapi batal gr2 transportny ga
jelas.. akirnya ngafe d navona. nyobain terfutto yg enak. bis itu
pulaangg. and once again.. we end up eating dinner at HRC. (btw.. motto
HRC “you know where to go” and klo motto g sama indri… “we dont know
where ELSE to go”.. hahaha!).

3rd day.. VATICAN! stlh foto2 disuatu tmpat.. indri ngajak.. “ayo
ran jgn klamaan disini.. kita k vatican aja dlu”. dengan tampang bodoh
“in.. kyny ini udah di vatican d”. itu dialog bodoh yg terjadi antara
rania dan indri di piazza san pietro (-malu). abis dialog bodoh itu..
kita pegi k antrian tdekat.. dgn niat mo masuk k dlm. tp ga tw knapa..
antri.. trus antri.. tiba2 kpecah jd 2.. yg satu k kuburan paus.. yg
satu lg k capulo. well.. dari nama aja g dah ga interest k tmpt paus2
itu dmakamkan yah.. jd kita pilih capulo. “apa capulo? we have noo
idea.. hmm.. maybe chapel -> capulo <- chapel.. cud be! hmm.. yes
may be it is!” itu yg ada dpikiran g wkt milih bwt msk antrian capulo.
with still my stupid blurry idea.. kita ngantri terus. dtengah2 ada
tulisan..ttg harga tiket. tulisannya.. with elevator/ lift €7; without
€ 5. baca itu jd tambah bingung. baca bawahnya ada “attention (ga inget
versi asli..) buat para org lanjut usia, penderita penyakit jantung,
blablabla.. mending mikir lagi soalnya setelah naik lift.. harus naik
320 anak tangga”… ohh.. nggg.. WHAT?!?! AFTER LIFT.. CLIMB 320
STAIRS?! WHAT D……!!!!! 320?!?!?! (and without lift.. 510 stairs).
terdiam.. terpaku.. membeku.. (g tw kalimat ini aga2 lebih.. tapi..)
akirnya mutusin dgan smangat membara.. buat naek k atas. disini kita lg
diposisi bertanya2.. dan penasaran.. apakah capulo itu?! abis beli
tiket.. masuk lift.. manjat sekian banyak tangga.. tangga muter..
lurus.. muter.. cape.. deg2kan.. pusing (krg tangga yg kita naekin
makin lama makin sempit.. cmn ckp buat satu org.. and makin lama makin
miring.. / <- that kind of miring.. bahkan lbh)…. istirahat..
ngedenger org spanyol lewat smbl ngmg.. kebtulan si indri ini
mengerti.. dan dia translate… masih ada 200 anak tangga lagi..
ARRGGGHHH!!! akirny ga pake lama2 lanjut lagi.. naik naik naik..
akirnya sampe juga. sampe d tmpat yg dtuju tsebut.. one conclusion..
pemandangan yg bs bikin badan bergetar. pemandangannya sie biasa aja..
well.. bs liat piazza san pietro dari atas dan bbrp pmandangan kota dr
tmpat tinggi.. nah.. tanggany itu yg bkin lo bgetar. ga tralu lama
disana.. kita turun.. mayan bikin pusing.. scara g jg aga2 benci tangga
muter.. rasanya pengap bgt.. trus ngeliat k bwh knyny tangganya ga
abis2. sblm turun k pake lift.. kita mampir k toko sovenir and ngirim
kartu pos. turun kbawah.. ternyata jalanny lgsg masuk k san pietronya.
dsana akirnya g bs mlototin pieta (hohoho.. senangnya! XD). biar g bkn
katolik.. saia ikut bdoa.. trus ngantri megang kaki petrus.. ga tw
knapa org2 rame ngantri megangin itu patung (latah bgt yak gw!
hahaha..). kaki patung marmer petrus itu dah ga bbentuk kaki gr2 banyak
bgt yg megang.. mungkin ga sie?! klo emg mungkin… kmungkinanny bbrp
taon lagi ga boleh dpegang tuh.. bs ilang kakinya. hehehe! dari bis
muter2. kluar.. pengen foto sama yg jaga vatican dgn sragam lucu2nya..
tp ga boleh.. (btw, ada gitu yg ganteng.. hohoho XD). dari situ lanjut
k museum vatican. klo ini emg target g.. pengen mlototin yg namanya
sistine chapel.. dgn bmacem2 fresconya. pjalanan ksana mayan jauh ya.
mana pas di tengah jalan indri hampir nginjek pengemis.. utg bgt tuh
ibu2.. klo ga.. dah ktiban indri. di museum itu sendiri kita dputer2
sblm bs k sistine chapelny. sampe dsana.. seneng bgt lah pokokny.
gembira bs liat fresco keren! tp ga bs tralu nikmatin sie.. soalny rame
bgt. bis dr situ.. we dont know where else to go… HRC again! pembaca
dharap ga bosen.. soalny di hari ini g buka menu dah ga tw mo makan
apa.. lama bgt kita mlototin menu. bis itu kita pulang d.. beres2..
istirahat.. bis long day climbing stairs and walking.

finally.. hari kita pulaang.. si indri udah ga sabar balik k amsterdam.
sementara rania masih bpikir positif soal trip k rome ini. bis
sarapan.. siap2.. cek out.. cabut k halte yg PAS dpan hotel (slama ini
kita k termini ga pnah pake halte yg ini. arrgghh!).. lgsg k termini.
sampe di termini.. pengen bli tiket buat k erport pake mesin. tapi ga
tw knapa ga bs. ngeliat dompet.. cmn bs buat 1 tiket. pergi k atm..
tnyata di atm tulisannya.. “OUT OF CREDIT”. what?!?!?! pusing.. panic..
akirny ngubungin org2 yg bs nransfer duit scepetnya. tp tnyata
hopeless.. ga bs scpt yg kita perlu. trus kita mutusin buat bli satu
tiket.. trus menggelapkan diri di rome. disaat kita b2 lg panik.. ada
rombongan org2 dr barcelona dsebelah kita. tiba2 ada cowo nyamperin..
trus ngmg “can i take a picture with you” sambil nunjuk g gw sama
indri. bingung donk ya.. trus indri nanya.. knapa? sambil nyengir.. dia
ngmg “yeah.. i want to take picture with you sisters”. wkakakaka..
sampe detik trakir mo ninggalin rome kita masih jg dbilang sisters,
twins, kembar.. apapun itu istilahny. bhub 22ny banci foto.. biar lagi
panic.. nyempetin diri buat foto brg org itu. abis foto itu panic lagi.
mau ga mau harus naek kreta.. dan slama stengah jam perjalanan..
berdiri.. ga tnang.. takut ada yg ngecek. untungny bs sampe d airport
tanpa ada yg ngecek. trus lari2 k tmpt cek in. fyi, kita sampe di
airport itu stengah jam sblm psawat take off. tmpt cek in udah sepi..
pake mesin cek in.. tulisanny udah telat. maxa si mba2.. akirnya
ditolongin.. masukin bagasi.. trus utgny dianterin sama si mba2 jd bs
motong2. cmn stengah jalan dianterin.. akirnya kita lari2 k gate.
untungnya belom telaat. duduk legalah kita b2 di psawat.

ternyata.. sampe di psawat kita belom bisa santai. slama pjalanan..
turbulence mulu sampe blanda. bgitu sampe blanda.. kita bahagia. dgn
sgala cobaan yg udah kita alamin di rome. to celebrate.. sesuai janji..
hehehe.. mampirlah kita k satu2nya starbucks yg ada di blanda. akirnya
g dapet skinny - decaf - extra hot - latte.. mmm.. my favorite..! dgn
tampang bahagia (ini blaku cmn bwt gw doank..)… kita jalan k tmpt
ngambil bagasi. nunggu.. menunggu.. dan terus menunggu.. ga ada koper
kita (g sama indri share koper..). muter2 k tmpat laen.. ga ada juga.
akirny k tmpat baggage service. ternyata.. banyak jg org yg dr rome yg
bagasinya ga sampe. ternyata bukan cmn kita b2. cobaan ternyata belom
slesai.. kunci kamar indri ada d dalam koper. hmpf.. apa mo dikata.
nunggu d schipol dr jam 4 sore baru pulang jam 9 malam. ngungsi
smalem.. akirnya bsk ngasih tw guido bwt ngebukain kamar. masuk kamar
itu seneeng bgt rasanya.

Luckily.. sore2.. ada telpon dr org KLM. mrk ngabarin klo kopernya
ktemu. yg tadinya mo dianter.. tp bhub si ibu pemilik pengen mastiin
koper itu beneran punya dia ato ga.. kita dateng lah k schipol. sampe d
schipol.. sama si bapak penjaga pintu..kita dikira twins.. againn. kita
disana ga gampang jg nyari koper. disuruh nyari di arrival 2.. ternyata
koper ada di arrival 3.. bgitu si ibu pemilik ngeliat kpernya.. itu kya
ibu2 ktemu anakny yg ilang.. kita loncat2 dan bpelukan ala teletubbies.

legaaaaaa akirnyaa…. cobaan liburan kita berakir saat itu koper
ktemu…

its just…

a long night. feels like forever.
i sat there. watching. waiting.
don’t know whats happening.
so quiet.
until i realized.
i lost someone that i love the most. lost a part of me.
im trying so hard to be strong.
but not my tears. they’re just too honest.
the more i try. the more i cry.
alone and empty i feel inside.
i open my eyes.
i realize…

its just a dream.

amfi.. 14 o6 2oo7

setelah krg lbh 5 bulan.. g akirnya dateng k skolah buat ngambil surat2 g yang ada di tmn g. well.. 5 bulan ga dateng.. bikin g ngrasa asing banget sama ni skolah. mungkin hmpir kya anak first year lagi. well.. itu siy yang g rasain..

ngomong2 soal skolah… pintu dpan skolah g di kunci. and lo harus punya student card buat masuk k dalem. student card punya g itu dah diilangin ma tmn g (anak blanda.. dah ga tau kmana tu orang.. ga pake minta maap lagi! huh! b***h!). anyway.. sjak diilangin itu g ga pnah bisa msuk k dalem klo ga nebeng orang mo masuk ato ga ngebel. kdg2 g harus mohoonn2 ma orang dpan spy dibukain. pa lagi klo g telat kelas.. (sering bgt sie! hehe..) itu jarang banget ada tebengan buat ngebuka pintu. tapi tadi.. g dateng jam 2 siangan.. dmn orang2 lagi pada sibuk kelas ato project.. jd jarang ada yang kluar masuk pintu dpan. tapi ternyata.. orang security dpan itu masii inget sama g. hahaha! ga pake mohon2 lagi.. lgsg dibukain sama dia. hahaha.. ^^

mungkin g skarang hrs siapin mental lagi buat skolah disini.. guru2 yg suka nyebelin.. tmn2 project yang bikin kesel.. bisanya cuman ngmg doank.. harus ngeluarin ide kreatif saat lo ga ada mood ato kadang2 pas disuruh brainstorm.. sisi kreatif lo tiba2 ilang ga tau kmana and yang ada cuman bengong pikiran ga jalan kmana2. dari apa yang udah g alamin di skolah ini.. g bsyukur banget ga ngambil design and styling. itu pilihan k2 g sie.. tapi untungnya ktrima di ifm. di bagian ifm aja g kadang2 suka buntu ide.. pa lagi klo g wkt itu ngambil design?!

anyway.. biar g suka ngata2in ini skolah… nyebelin.. ngebetein.. well.. disatu sisi.. g cmn bs blg klo g dah pw abiss ma ni course and skolah. hahaha…

oya.. doain g supaya punya bisa dateng k Arnhem Mode Biënnale yah.. rada males jg soalnya mayan jauh.. and mungkin g peginya ndiri..

spring/summer 2oo7 COUTURE

its been so long since i write my last blog. since this is my first blog in 2oo7, i wanna start with writing about the “spring/summer 2oo7 COUTURE“

to all fashion lovers out there.. now we can watch front row view at Armani Prive couture show from the internet. its the first ever streamed haute couture show from Paris. Thanks to Mr. Armani who had the idea to bring couture to masses. you can check out the video at this following link..

http://lifestyle.msn.com/BeautyandFashion/FashionWeekDaily/giorgio_armani.aspx

here are some pictures of the Armani Prive spring/summer 2oo7 collection…

first of all i would like to mention about Mr. John Galliano for his awesome work. he’s truly a genius. This Christian Dior spring/summer 2oo7 collection is my favorite of all. you can see it very clear that the collection was inspired by japanese culture, starting from kimono, samurai, japanese paintings, until origami. for this collection i call it the art of fashion. i put some of the pictures from the collection.. well its very hard to choose bcoz every piece is my favorite. but i just gave you the idea of the Dior couture collection.

This season Mr. Valentino creates an all-white-on-the-night collection. As always, his design is very feminine, chic, and romantic, a perfect keyword to dress a lady. Mr.
Valentino really knows how to dress a woman. I admire his talent.

Remember the legendary bustier created by Jean Paul Gaultier that was worn by Madonna. well this time Gaultier was inspired by the true Madonna.. meaning.. the Holy Mary. with the “Holy, Holy, Holy” theme Gaultier can come out with some great couture creations.

from the holy-inspired-collection. we come to the bling-bling-collection. Mr. Elie Saab with his glittery collection…

i think.. thats my top 5 favorite collection in this spring/summer 2oo7 collection.. hope ya’ll enjoy it.

brand madness

i remembered my holiday to indonesia, i was very exited to visit everyone that i know, my big family and my friends. but at that time, everyone is also exited to go to Zara (When this big Spanish retailer open in Indonesia, I was already in Amsterdam..). Zara on sale. “S.A.L.E” which is the favorite word for all shopacholic-females outhere..

“eh, Zara lagi sale tuhh…”

yes.. i love sale. but.. the problem is i’ve heard these sentences thousands of times… so what?! i dont care if Zara is having a sale! I even heard a story about the queue infront of the store.. 10 people gets out.. 10 people in.. its ridiculous!

but at that time i’ve reach the “enough” point.. it turns out that i become curious. what is this sale like? what stuff are zara selling? is it the same? bunch of quesion come out of my head and make me walk to the closest Zara store… of course.. in Kelapa Gading Mall 3…

by the time i entered the store, its not that crowded.. maybe because the sale time is almost over or im too early. i look at the sale items.. i almost laugh there. cant even compare it with the sale in amsterdam. here a sale price of a zara Tee can cost only 3euros. yeah..yeah.. i think its always like that for a sale price in indonesia. a lil reduction and they call it a big sale. haha…!!

in the store i also look at their new collection.. which is the autumn collection. its so funny when i say a coat, i mean a long coat. its more that a million rupiah.. well.. the price is actually the same with only more digits in indonesia (hahahhaha..). but will people actually buy that stuff. u know.. indonesia… its bloody hot!

in the end.. i make a conclusion that people are in their Zara madness.. its just like what happened years ago in indonesia also caused by the spanish retailer.. competitor of Zara.. Mango. lets just see… what will be next? h&m? bestseller with brands veromoda, only, pieces, etc.?

sorry for leo, croco, liz, and python..

    

lookin at the fall collection 2006.. i feel sorry for leopard, crocodile, alligator, lizard, and python skin. those animal skin are the most seen in the runway this fall.  from milan, paris and new york.. all the famous designer are using those animal skin as bags or shoes. just name the designer..and you’ll find one of their product made from these skins. to mention some… Donna Karan, Marc Jacobs, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Bottega Veneta, Burberry, Versace, Gucci, Giorgio Armani, Manolo Blahnik, Chanel, Chloe, Dior, LV, and many more…..

those animal skin are very exotic..and people today were interested in it more than ever. John Galliano even combined crocodile and python skin to make a new face of the Dior gaucho bag. looks fascinating though. will you imagine if those animals go to the shops and look at those collection, they will go insane! it’ll never happened though…

i remember about j.lo’s case. she love fur coat.. and because she’s J.Lo.. she has thousands of em on her closets. all the animal lovers just hate her… well.. i have to hate her to because of this. if you open the site   http://www.jlodown.com/  and you watch the video on how people take fur from those poor animals… and you’ll know what i mean. i havent finish the video myself..

with all respect to all animal lover… and in memoriam.. mr. crocodile hunter.. steve irwin.. (i will always miss your shows..)….

killing heels

i cant understand why women wears those high heels.. i’m a woman.. i’ve tried it before but.. its just killing me.. well… i wear high heels but just depends on what kind of heels and the height of it… not like in the pictures that i’ve inserted.. i’ll never wear it..

can u guys out there imagine to wear one of these 3 shoes? it’s a pride to own one of them.. but to tell u da truth.. i wont wear it.. first of all because it was expensive.. second.. it’ll kill me less than an hour… ( pic.1 - suede vertige sandal with metal heel by Alexandra Neel)

AmFI girls wears those kinds of heels.. and they go home with public transportation. i dont know how will they walk in those pavement infront of my school building. i was stuck there once and i promise to myself that i wont wear it again unless…. i became expert in wearing these killing heels. dont know when i’ll become an expert.. (pic.2 - Red heeled bootie with corsetting from Dior by John Galliano)

the question is why women wants to wear high heels? is it because u can become taller? or make ur leg sexier? or just following trends? i want to know the reasons..

how about men’s opinion? do they found women in high heels attractive? do women who’s a shoes freak strange? (could you guys out there help me by giving me some comments…)

have to admit though that these 3 example are great shoes. they are just beautiful.. not just an ordinary shoes though.. they are the work of art which will become a great trend setter in the future. i adore them but for now.. i cant wear them yet.. maybe someday.. if my feet are use to it or there are reasons that make me use these heels… job maybe… (pic.3 - "black patent-leather T-strap pump by Marc Jacobs")
