How the love begins.

Been living in this city that never sleep for almost a year, and what is actually happen in my days from the morning sunlight to a very windy yet heavy rain with thunderbolt and the city lights in the nights from those skyscrapers are fill in the slots in my memory. And I think I starts to fall more deep with this city, Jakarta.

Wake up in the morning and get ready for working, then I buy my breakfast in street-side kiosk on my way to office, honestly I have to admit that I love the foods. Jakarta's traditional foods is one of the best foods that I've ever tasted. The legendary Ketoprak, Nasi Uduk and of course Gado-gado! The taste are magical like it deceive my tongue in every bite.

Jakarta's traffics in weekdays is always a problem, to anyone. But what happens in weekend? I'm pretty sure that it is fascinating yet fun to drive across the major arterial road while play Lana Del Rey songs in night. And when I see the yellow-red sign, drop by and pick up the guilty-pleasure food then continue the trip. Actually you don't need to dress like you are going to have a kind of fancy dinner or attending a red carpet events, you just need to dress yourself with clothes which you really want to wear.

In the downtown, at the highest point where all you can see are the combination of lights from skyscrapers, houses, and cars that sparkling in the windy night. And some music beats that make you cannot deny that this city is really stay awake 24/7. Another thing that fascinating is there are so many great places to have dinner. Some maybe don't have foods with good taste, but the others have even the magical one.

After the long day discoved something marvelous from this capital city, I stayed under my blanket and read the words that is combined into beautiful sentences, a simple yet fancy kind of bed time stories.

Make peace with your heart.

As time goes by, day changes into night, holiday has already over, and January turn to December as quick as not realizable. Maybe and it suppose that there are always many problems come and go or even just stay. At some point you could handle everything in a very good way but the rest are too complicated to handle. You suffer from pain, struggle for better atmosphere and try to breath as your mind free to imagine anything. Dreams are something which is the only way to set yourself free. And remember that it is always a boarder line between the magnificent dreams and the reality that similar to nightmare.

Freedom. A word that means so much in different perception to people. It is a hope from the one waiting to live in peace. And a hope from whoever whose mind dying of happiness.

There are no difficult problem that people couldn't handle. Maybe the problem is in inside your heart. You block the connection between your heart and mind to work together in balancing your life. There is always a reason behind something come into you, maybe not today but in days forward. Then make peace with your heart.



Love,

The moments that remarkable.

One morning where sunlight came inside across those window and all I saw was buildings and traffics. Then to a huge hall that crowded by people who were in and out elevators. Maybe they were in hurry or just need to look for anything they possibly could did. I kept walking on my black kitten heels to pair with my gray blazer over white dress.

One saturday afternoon at a favorite coffee shop in downtown, and people were queueing asking the barista to make their favorite beverages. I asked for a cup of red velvet latte with a very cute latte art on it. Then I walked upstairs looked for empty seat. It was a coffee machine in front of me and that was the very first time I completely knew how to brew coffee.

One time I was looking to those skyscrapers from a rooftop in the heart of this city, waiting for sunset, and sipping a cup of chamomile tea. It was a little cloudy, not quite windy, and several voices were coming from girls that were preparing for a birthday of a friend of them. They were laughing and retouching their make up. I turned my eyes to the other side, at a corner were some of lovebirds that glancing at each other eyes with magnificent smiles.

One other afternoon, through the traffic jams at the flyover in a tiny Parisian district, electro pop playlist played on car's audio, while outside was a very great scenery. I saw a silhouette of a mountain standing upright behind blue sky, and the sunlighted just touch my green trumpet sleeves top made an interesting shades. Then sky changed colors and city lights sparkled beautifully, Japanese cuisine, and a little bit shopping before the dreams end.

The moments that bringing up a feeling of blessing to figure out another side of myself deeply, because there are still many hidden unique colors inside those palettes.

Fate which is exist.

I ask my self infrequently, am I happy? And even I think a little bit hard to interpret the exact meaning of being happy. After those unhappy years, and pretended that I was okay with things, well even I know that wasn't what I literally want, but there was always something to push me get close to. If I could reborn even I can't choose who am I, but I would take different choices.

Well, it is not exactly that I mean if I am not happy at all. I am happy, yes sure, like happy of having such incredible friends, but the thought of 'this is not the life I want, the life I hope for, and the life that interpret who I am' is always comes in sudden. Like there is a torture in their smile.

The boundary between my dream and reality is thin enough, but it always exist. I can't break that boundary, yet. And I don't know, don't know what should I do then. It's like I want to buy an ice cream cone, I have enough money, but there's always something to make me away.

And now I am tired, to struggle for another dreams, and makes another hope.
Perhaps this is what people called FATE. The thing that influence all people's life, and they can't change it. Even though I really don't believe that, because I think the one who choose to be who you are is only that person. But now, it's different. And I start to believe there is a fate that hidden in someone life, whether it breaks your dreams right now or years later. I just can't believe that years behind and later is a kind of disaster, the life that I don't want to live for, but I have to.

Simple meaningful lesson.

Many of people confuse about their darkness past that always come to ruin the future. Sometimes I feel that. When the memories back, and I just being vulnerable, then I ask my self that do I completely forgive? But the problem is how can I forgive if I can forget. This one really a kind of complicated simple things.

A friend of mine taught me to forgive, and to understand people's imperfect character. Nobody is perfect. Nobody. All imperfect. And all you need is to be patient. If can't do that, you're an abnormal person. Perhaps those words made me better right now. I try to develop my self to become a person who utilize the gift. I still can breath and see the world's beauty. And everything is more than enough rather than being a person who can hardly forgive people.

Transparency.

I see the sun. The light is just too bright. I look closer then find something behind the light.
The emptiness of happiness. Far from the expectation, that the light is always be the magic of the darkness.
That space is covered by the joy which reflected by the saint eyes and beautiful smile on an ordinary face of human. There shall be a huge boundary of feelings, but the greater human personality the more it covered.
And that light is the best one that I feel to the bones and flow in my blood.
That light is the guidance of my life about facing the future and fight the fear.
That light is an inspiration of loving. Loving the people who dying of hopes.

The Heart.

It is about the heart that is very preferential.
The heart that can makes the eyes reflect the sincerity.
The heart that has the saint spirit for sharing the favor to others continuously. 
The heart that can afford to answer meanness with forgiveness. 
The heart that has the calmness to always speak good.
The heart that can embrace the orphan.

There are moments that comes to realize me that I am too good for people,
but then I remembered that the heart inside my self is not that kind of heart.
The heart that owned by somebody who is influential.

Means of boy in my eyes.

I met a boy. He is so famous now. He had a years relationship with a girl. But then it was just over. When he started again, this girl is kind of bitter one. She left him for building up her happy new relationship. After everything he did for her, she just walk away. He was in suffer, but God reply everything with amazing plans for his days after.

I met a boy. He had a crush on a girl who left him then. He had tried several times to build a new relationship but nothing worked, he had already known. He never said it but I believed that inside his laugh, he believed in faith that she will be back. And she did. Now he smile in happiness, no pain anymore.

I met a boy. He texted to many girls. He flirted to anyone who dazzle his eyes. But he only had one girl to share his love wholeheartedly. He could do anything to make her happy. He kept visiting her even in his rushing. He really loves her, I see on his eyes when he tell a story about her.

I met a boy. He has a girlfriend. He do love her in a value that much more than others human can do. He flirted to some other girls, sometimes. But he knew that nothing to deal with them. And he still loves his girl for past, present, and until death.

I met a boy. He was a kind of people who have great principles for his life. He wanted a serious relationship since the first time he dated a girl. He treated his girl in a way that mostly girl wish for. But she repeated what was wrong. And he just smiled every time people ask. I knew that deep inside his soul is broken, but he pretend to tell. He hided the pain so that nobody knows how hard he tried to sleep all night.

I met a boy. He was a handsome guy with polite smile. He spokes politely. He cares much to his friends. He loves a girl, only she and she. No others. Never cheating. No flirting. A kind of faithful person that everybody wish to have for spending the rest of their live. He looked after she even in miles away. I didn't know exactly her feeling to him but I thought she was a person who did not realize with this kind of blessing that God sent her. Every time he bowed his head, close his eyes, and smile, I know that he bear the pain.

I met a boy. He had a high intelligence, great point of view, and amazing advisor. People around were so proud to have him as a friend. Proud because they could easily interact with one of amazing people in this world. He was like a google who could answer almost every questions. Well, actually not many people knew about his love life. But lucky me, I knew his present story. He had a crush with his childhood mate. At first it was sound very sweet, when you had a crush with someone you grown up with. And it came a day when everything revealed. As I believe that the truth won't hide for forever. That girl, who he had a crush with, was lied. Lie about her feeling. Lie about her acts to him. Lie about the reasons why she cares to him. And I knew that he hurts and had to suffers in this kind of pain. One lesson that I learned is that the pain will come from anybody, no matter who they are.

I met a boy. He was a good one. The one who good at many subjects. The one that focused to build up his future. The one that raised up to be a polite and intelligent man. He had a relationship with a girl. The relationship that he exactly knew nothing deeper. The relationship that scare him. Perhaps he just didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to fix what should have been fixed in past. And he just letting everything continues to happen. And years ahead, is only God knows.

I met a boy. He had a dark past. He changed him self then to somebody new. The one that was a reflection of suffering. He struggled hard these years built up his amazing future. And all of his works finally come to great things. I predicts that years ahead, the sun will shine so brightly on him, brighten his past, and his ready to take his girl in his past back to his side.

I met a boy. He loves people. He gave his hug to the orphans. He did favour to people more than they expected to get. He was a light through people darkness. Put a fire into millions toneless dreams. Changed the thought of the reasons why human born. I saw the saint soul through his eyes. And the war that he fight for human peace in his around. No flirt to girl, because flirt to empty soul is more fascinate him. No love relationship, because the relationship with God is more precious.

Dreams.

Dreams. There must be hundreds, thousands, even millions kind of dreams.
One is the dream that will never comes into reality. Because it stay serenely inside the heart for long time, even no one know when it ends. That dream lives inside the soul forever and it is like a little happiness which will always blossom in sadness. They knew that it will always be only a dream, but they don't want to forget, they want to keep it, no matter what's going on. Because several parts of their life, still alive because of that dream.

That dream is a dream that will stay strongest, even hurt the deepest, but also the purest.

The Universal Truth.

A best friend of mine, Teddy, told me about an incredible quote:

There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not.
But just because we're leaving, and that hurts,
there's some people who are so much a part of us,
they'll be with us no matter what.
They are our solid ground. Our North Star.
And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us... Always...

Beyond limitation.

At least there is a border in life. Border which separates the dream from reality. Dreaming a thing that hardly to reach or even never happen perhaps is the love that last the longest, hurts the deepest, but it feels the strongest. The feeling really could survive for so long, the time goes, the happiness it looks, the pain seems. But to stop dreaming for more even deeper, is beyond the human limitation. Perhaps the universe arrange something hurts but beautiful instead.

The answer

These weeks are really the busy time in this semester. So many projects before the exam coming. Less hang out or outfit hunting again. At least even for spending time sitting and enjoying a cup of coffee while reading fashion headline in the corner of coffee shop, I couldn't make it. And perhaps you all bored with my word 'busy' but it's okay. I'm not only share my thought in daily style or make up trend, but share some of my feeling too in order to give inspiration for people whose feel the same. People who give up in the middle of their struggle, people who love other than what they do daily, and who confuse what should they live their life.

As you know that I said 'busy' oftentimes about my school, the reality is like that. I can't deny and pretend that I'm totally happy or enjoy all lectures, I'm a normal human too. I can't do everything perfectly. But this time I'm happy with what I done. Some improvement in fashion career, stronger a bit, and try to not really care of everything which not give contribution to my life. Facing people with my heart, not reply them as what they do to me. Because I always remember when a friend said "I treat people because of God, no matter how bad what they do to me, I just remember God". So it's good to be good to people, everyone everywhere.

In this recent time, I have a motivational discussion with a friend about life. I don't know I just interest more about what is life should be or how to live the life, everything relate to "life". I open my mind a lot, realizing much, and getting the answers for all things I confusing before. One sentence that I decided to write on this post from that discussion is "I am doing anything which will be a blessing for other" Perhaps this a very great answer of a question; how to live the life. Very motivational and touching of course. 

Once I thought that perhaps that all are the answer from my prayer, God sent some incredible friends to motivate me. I was vulnerable, devastating, and they just come to support. They bring a hope into my life. And I feel better better and blessed. Thank you for everyone who supporting me, also to the hatter who always push me to be the better person.

And I don't want my readers boring with the words, so here I pick photos that I did for a local brand PITTA. I love their highwaist pants, the patterns, lining also the fabric. It was just fit perfect on my body since that I hard to find apparels on my size. They also have some casual collection which suitable to wear daily. And for their upcoming collection, there will be some fancy crop top in a set with midi skirt. So keep checking their instagram oftentimes!

Vulnerable is past

Maybe now I am wake up after these devastating months. I trapped in the confusion about what life should be and how to be happy. Yes, be happy. I was sad, couldn't feel happy, loose my weight, and totally vulnerable. There were so much pressure, fact that hard to deal with, and I don't know everything just so absurd.

Alright, perhaps this paragraph may be the official answer for people who judge me not serious with my study. This semester I only take several credits because I've already taken so many in time behind. So this is what I can do, take all the only possible credits. One of them is a big design project, maybe it's true that I am not totally focus on, but there is a significant changes on my career in fashion industry, I reach the point which I never get on before. So it's not a problem, because when we face the different kind of work, we need to choose which one have to focus and which should come-off second best. Hard decision, but I should take it.

I did googling for finding the way to be happy, the reason to find out my happiness. And most of them tell that you need struggle hard for doing several thing to reach that happiness, such as start positive thinking, surrounded by good people, and be grateful.

I talked to some amazing people, they totally support me, give the very motivating advices. They said that I deserve to be happy more that what I feel right now, my future shall be brighter if I brave to fight for it. And living the life as today the last day, but live it by doing the productive things. Oh it such a very motivational quote. Some other told to thank God for everything I got, and sincere.

Now, I feel better, very very better from months behind. I feel blessed, shining, and happier. I enjoy my life, yes I should, and I'll be. I pray a prayer from years back and still keep believing in faith, finally God show the answer.

And after all I did, I realize that HAPPINESS NOT COME TOWARD YOU, BUT YOU HAVE TO FIND IT

How Are You


Just a midnight browsing, as usual when I don't know what to do when bed time come along and my eyes still wide open. Reading my SHS-mate blog, and I found this poem, at least I don't know what kind of these words called exactly, poem, essay or a heart-note. And why I copy her into my blog is I want you guys know how beautiful it is, and really touching. I love the way she writing with heart, the way she choose the unusual words, for some people perhaps it's the first time to read the words.

"it has been so long that we have been too busy walking on our own path
do you still remember unresolved business that we left too far
our everyday were colored with too much discordia
break the excitence of us without any properly goodbye
i tried to catch you but its useless
you have been walked too far
i can't even catch your shadow
your world already dissapear from mine
and my live doesn't revolve around you any more
what an irony, remember how we had shared back then
we lived on the same land
stands under the same sky
breathe the same air
and share the same dream
but, you have choose your own path of life
i'm still here, looking at the blue sky
to you who stand up in place that i barely know
would you kind enough to remind me
at least a half in the way i secretly miss you
i know
i am not able to make you stay here at least until i aware
i am sorry i let the time erase half of you in my heart
i am sorry i stupid enough to let you replace me with someone else
we cant go back to we used to be as if the word “we” ever exist
tough it never exist
but at least reply me once
i just wanna know :
How Are You?"

After read it, my heart feel so dying, remember many people who came into my life, make an influential changes, and I miss them all. People who always play with me, share their laugh, tell about the sadness, and everything in my daily. Distance is one reason why we communicate seldom. Sometimes I wish that I still standing up in a dot and not moving in this circle of life. I wish I'm forever young, stay in high school era. But time always goes on, bring many changes. I try to consider choose a path which the righter than the other options. Sometimes I regret about this path but later I realize that God give me messages of life inside. There many reasons that universe hiding it, but they're also waiting to be found.
I miss you guys, even in my silence, I just want things go back as they used to be.

This Start

As usual, since I became an institute undergraduate student, every holiday I spent at my hometown. Choose a date, book a flight, pack up my items, and finally touch down the beautiful island. It’s such a wonderful thing now, my holiday is a very-holiday, a kind of holidays that people mostly wishing. Totally different from years behind. My hometown start to attract world attention then become one of world most favorites destination. Who don’t love beach so dying hard? The beach with a magnificent God creature. They said it’s a real-life paradise.

Looking back to years behind, I usually spent my holiday time to travel others destination with my family. And sometimes I miss that memories. It was the time to take me knows the world, learn about the urban planning, understand about the many types of people accent, and many more. The time to get knowledge. Sure they said that book is a window of the world, but sometimes we need to travel for making them clearly, find out the unfounded.

How about now? It’s changes. When I was busy with my exam, my family got their free time, then it comes the time they getting busy again with their business but I just got my holiday. What does it means? I should spent the holiday with my self and perhaps several friends who have it too.

What should I plan now? A wonderful a couple of weeks holiday schedule. But I don’t know it would come to reality or just an empty hope. I just landed here, and the weather was really so unfriendly, huge heavy rain with thunderstorm. I got sick with the doctor words which disallow me to eat some foods because of my organ still not quite strong. Then I found out a friend was not in healthy condition too, and there’s no new fascinating place to visit in this town, even I still think about my marks this semester “would they work together to result a good GPA for me?”

I am tired of the things which make me sick all the time. The things which couldn't cooperate with me. I just want them can pull together and result the everlasting happiness.
