Love your life, love the nature

What do you think about the green environment? Guess that mostly people gonna say that they love it, but in fact they don't act like they love. It should be not just a word, but supposed to be a real act. 

My technology institute is one of the greenest campus in Asia. There are birds singing in the morning, the dew on the leaves, good air to start the day. Also many green grounds can be found, fens, bikers, even they provide special pathways for the bikers! The trash is divide into several trash bins to ease distinguish the recycle process. Because we love the nature! Every year when the new academic year start, they have an event for the new freshmen which is plant 1000 seeds around the campus. These can be found in Tenth of November Institute of Technology Surabaya.

In term to admit my naval architecture friend's request, me and my best girl, Nona Theresia did this photoshoot. The concept is about Eco Campus. And it was really a short photoshoot that I've ever did, finished less than an hour!

My photographer friends, Rabhi dan Riznanda. Yeah, we both just help them for their portofolio about Eco Campus. It's not focus on the model, but the nature. So me and Thea just donned daily campus apparels without any make up on. 

Sure, it was a very simple outfits that day. My girl was wearing her batik tops with blue jegging and booties. I felt a little bit cold, the temperature was quite low for Surabaya, because everybody knows that Surabaya is famous with it's hot condition!! I was wearing socks with my Kickers flat shoes and leopard sleeves top with black jeans, the maroon bag was Mango. At least those items was enough to comfort my self.


Let's love life by love the nature too. Start from yourself about the most famous 3R, reduce, reuse, recycle. I am recently to start collecting the plastic bottle, separate them from my trash bin, so the scavengers will get the bottles easily. It is a simple way to help people also love the nature. That's all the best shoots from the photo shoots last week with no filters.

Demoiselle


Floral again. Floppy hat and black colored dress. Walk down the path as a re-born young lady. Seems it backs to centuries ago, when women donned their big hat in the downtown and absolutely paired with their dress, it was on 60-es. Instead years behind, women donned the pannier dress with beautiful lace combination and many layers on, like which Keira Knightley donned at one her movie "The Duchess".

Lunch : Kirkos Bar & Restaurant

It was an early dinner or just a late lunch that day. Went out with two others, we chose Kirkos Bar & Restaurant at Ciputra World Surabaya for enjoying some delicious dishes and discussing many topics. The place was not quite busy, course it wasn't a time for feeding people self.

Full filled a friend of mine Starbucks KL edition glass with tacooooossssssss!!!!!

Brought my currently reading novel, Juliet by Anne Fortier, and the simple maroon tote bag from Mango. The bag is pretty enough to carry all my must-bring-belongings. Anyway, I suggest the book to be read, the story is great, the modern fictional history about Romeo and Juliet. And as you know it is one of the best seller books from New York times version and has already translated into 30 different language.

And the dishes are Tenderloin Steak, Chicken Steak, Traditional Fried Noodle with scramble egg, Tacos, New York style pizza (ps it is not like a round Italian pizza, just meat and mozzarella wrapped inside a layer), and chicken wings. Too much for three people, isn't it? Oh wait, you really need to notice the noodle, so delicious like I want to eat all the time! First, a friend of mine wanted to order that dishes, but me and the other one just doubted it, but when we tasted, it really completely delicious.

Cotton Candy Hair of Nicki Minaj

A Trinidadian-born American rapper, Nicki Minaj with her other talents, singer-songwriter and television personality makes a dynamic revolution in the collaboration of music and fashion industry. Looks spectacular with her colorful and fun style. There are many neon colors spread out on hair style, clothes, and her make up. Course I can't deny that is youthful and free. Her stage hair style mostly unique by combining difference colors into a cotton candy hair. Here some my favorites :

Course it's a new innovation of a woman rapper with colorful look beside her singing talent. Standing with many colors on super-tan skin for a 30 years woman is a work which really need a big self confidence, and she have it! Nicki Minaj is one who dare to make a spectacular changes in fashion-music industry nowadays.

I am thinking of Harajuku styles which using many colors, abstract concept, and everything can donned. But this American rapper has her well-organized concept, mix the neon colors to look gorgeous. From head to toe, there are colors and colors, but everything combine each other for the spectacular Minaj.

Beside sincerity and plain, it could be shades


A great moment is when someone stay and care about. The most influential person is just a person who no longer make a good perception explanation about perfection in term of any conditions and accept the dispiritedness by an open-minded thought to somebody. Harsh step instead to make a continuous movement about disconcerting point, but then a favor always come in the perfect time not the right time. Universe told they heart to succor. That's the reason destiny forgot to give a true sister, because we found best friend who is sister by heart even though not by blood.
