She's ENGAGED!!!!!! Ultra Yayness!!!

Hi, there

Photobucket

How's your day? :D
I can't wait for August to come. There's a mixture of anxiety and thrill mixed into one.
Remember how I always complain about hating my job, yadaaa.... yadaa.... blaa... now therefore I decided to put an end to it, for the sake of my sanity and the people around me (because I think my complaint has become sort of a regular for them and it is ANNOYING).
I stop teaching!!!! Whoaa...... ( I wish )
But I do stop teaching a large portion of my students, that meaning letting go half of my normal income. I'm anxious that I'm not gonna make it (financially) thru August or September. At the same time I'm thrilled, however, since I can now declare myself FREE from all that mental slavery. How good that feeling is!!!!

I have always loved August, for some ridiculous reasons. I don't really know why...., but I suppose the eighth month of the year symbolizes luck.
And most IMPORTANTLY, this year's August will be the first August in Fran's life when she will be strutting along with that rock on her finger!!!!!
She's officially ENGAGED, just yesterday!!!!

Photobucket

Congratulations!!!!
And do you see now, the correlation? Eight and Luck? :D :D
She, you bet, is mega thrilled and ultra "kaboom". LOL

Photobucket

The "kaboom" girl. EEYAAAAAKKK............

Now, pictures :

Photobucket

No, we're yet to celebrate her engagement. This is just another going dutch dinner. Next round, your treat, Fran!!!! ( I remember she did treat us some pricey meal when she and Hai officially saw each other). HAHAHA.

Photobucket

Photobucket

" Irasemasen.............Watashi wa engaged-ka. Kawaii, watashi wa. Haiik!!!!" LOL

Photobucket

Photobucket

Both tops and shoes are from Thechicks' Dollhouse.

Photobucket

It's not our fault we exude some sort of quality. Blame the gene!!!

Photobucket

It's certainly not our fault too we're "tall and cute" and "petite and cute". Again, blame the gene!!!!

Photobucket

It's not her fault she's jubilant. Blame the camera!!!!

Photobucket

It's not my fault you feel like puking after reading this post. Blame your inquisitiveness and your eyes!!
Adios, everyone :D :D

Two In One

I have been trying to alter my look into a bit more feminine and lady like, although I don't think I can ever pull the look. My mom often observes my outfit and remarks, " You are not as feminine as you used to be. You were much prettier back then. Where's the old you? And please lose that loose tops and weird stuff you often wear."
I can only laugh out loud, literally, upon hearing that. I told her, I can be all that again, but I don't want to be.
Yes, I used to be a feminine long-haired girl (or should I say, village girl or college girl) . Wearing flowy long skirt or knee-length skirts (it was very in those days), paired with frill chiffon tops, with very very delicate heels and oh-so-cute accessories.
LOL.
Gosh!!!! Creepy!!!!! I can be that again, but it is just so not me anymore. The other day, I put on a simple dress and a simple waist belt, trying to be all girly again, and when I looked in the mirror, I burst into laugh. It was ultra creepy.
Nevertheless, I think this is a challenge for me. I want to wear all those girly stuff, without looking too cutie and girly. Yes, that's my mission for now.

So, all must start from wearing very very soft colors. So, I start with beige and nude pink. I never like pink, I don't know why. Pink is just................ too pink and ...... soft. Fran, on the other hand, is a mad lover of pink. I told her, if we were couple, I would certainly be the man and she would be the girl. LOL.

Here are beige and nude pink combo :

Photobucket

Photobucket

Nude pink shredded cardigan from Thechicks' Dollhouse, beige sleeveless dress from Gaudi, camel peep toe shoes from Just Wanderlust, ivory purse from Mango.

The cardigan can be worn two ways, with the buttons side facing front or facing back.
Those people in the fashion industry are never out of ideas, aren't they? When cardigan is not in fashion anymore, they create a new way to wear it.

Photobucket

:D :D :D

Photobucket

90's pose. LOL

The next day, I am back to my old me, red and blue combo :
Hahaha

Photobucket

A cropped top gives an instant face-lift to a plain unattractive dress, imo.
To avoid looking too plain, I opt for a pair of red suede wedge instead of flat shoes, accessorized with some dark silver necklace and beaded bracelet.

Photobucket

Meant to sport middle parting, but somehow my hair always find its way back to "semi-middle" parting.

Photobucket

Till the next post, exploring the other side of me. LOL
Adios :)

Holiday = Putting On Weight Program - Part 2

Another late post from me. It is not me if I don't procrastinate.

Went to Brastagi for some fresh air. There's nothing really special there, but still it is the main holiday spot for Medanese. Almost everyone goes to Brastagi during holidays. What a life, eh?

Photobucket

Photobucket

The striped shawl is THE most comfortable shawl ever.
And the red patent flat :Thechicks' Dollhouse.

Won two stickers and an ugly dolphin stuffed toy after spending like more than 100,000 IDR on some stupid games. People know that the chances to win the prizes are super slim, yet they willingly dig into their pocket to try their luck on the games.
Being hopeful is a good thing, isn't it?

Photobucket

Photobucket

Next, the randoms :

Photobucket

The fattest state of my whole adult life is pictured here. LOL and FTW at the same time.
All the outfit worn are mostly from my online shop. I seldom buy stuff from local boutiques nowadays, except from Gaudi, since it has the cheapest stuff among all.

Photobucket

With two angels

Photobucket

With cold Milo and three slices of Kaya toast, earning more fat layer, more and more and more..
LOL

Photobucket

The expression of mine that I hate the most. Ugh!!!!

Photobucket

This, I like. :D

Photobucket

This is an okay expression. Yeahh.... not bad.

Photobucket

This expression, I super hate. The smile is double ugh!!!!!!

Photobucket

Now, this one is much better. :D :D :D

Photobucket

The indy pink loose shirt is from Thechicks' Dollhouse. Superb!!!!!

Photobucket

This, I super duper like. It's never our fault we're cute, ain't it so?
Four thumbs up for this, two from mine and two from her ( In fact, I don't know if she would give her thumbs or not, but just considered she would). :D
Actually, I think I would give six thumbs up for this. The other two are from my toes. (Do we say "thumb" for those on toes?). Well, who cares. Six thumbs up!!!!!

The striped dress and necklace are from Thechicks' Dollhouse.

Photobucket

Love the shoes and the washed denim shirt and the classic brown belt. Thechicks' Dollhouse, as alaways.

Photobucket

The necklace is from Forever 21. My boyfriend knows my taste so well. He is that good, huh?
Marvelous!!!!!

Photobucket

Him!!!!!

Photobucket

Till the next post. Adios, gorgeous............

Holiday = Putting On Weight Program

I have always loved June, particularly because it is the month when I don't have to deal with all the school and students madness. :D
When you don't have to teach, life is so delightful.
When you don't have to teach, life is so meaningful.
When you don't have to teach, there's nothing more you can ask for. LOL.
(This last line is certainly not true)
But when you have to teach, life is a living hell and you just have to be patient enough not to lose your head.
(This is very true, at least, in my case)

And speak of the devil, my paradise is about to end and today, routine begins. And it sucks!!!!
That's why I decided to pull myself out of the pool of laziness and write this post. Because if I have to start doing all that again, at least I start out with something I really like to do.

The fun thing about not working is you get to free yourself from the stress and pressure and all. And in return, the not so good thing about not in the state of stress and pressure is you get to put on weight in your-already-full of fat body. Is it an irony or what?

Well, days of torture have begun. Let's just hope I manage to shed these extra weight by my birthday next month.

Camwhoring session............................ :

Photobucket

Photobucket

Buffet at Angkasa Hotel.
Chubby cheeks : no wonder.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Another after huge dinner night. Playing cool face. And do you see the initial rings I was wearing? :D

Photobucket

The pink shirt is from Pink Studio, a second hand shirt. Vintage is all I need.

Photobucket

Vintage must go all the way, so here comes the vintage bag. Very spacious, and most importantly, very affordable.

Photobucket

Photobucket

The floral blazer is from Pink Studio, too. I was very into vintage last month and this blazer just completed my obsession.

Here's a close up look :

Photobucket

What I like from vintage outfit, is again, the cutting. It fits well, it's got a very detailed tailoring, although the inside lining is torn, which is okay cause I can have it sewn back.

Photobucket

Photobucket

And I tried wearing lace legging for the first time. And I love it!!!!!!
Look at the texture of the lace on the skin. It creates a very artsy look, imo. :D

Photobucket

I wore it with a black mini skirt and a navy blazer. Didn't have the chance to take a decent full-body capture when the digicam ran out of battery. :(

Photobucket

The couple behind literally climbed onto each other. Hahaha.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Finally got myself a checked-skirt. :)

Photobucket

And a pair of a black wedge, from my online shop, thechicks' dollhouse.
It has a 10-cm cork wedge and I became an instant super tall chick wearing it. My student's mom who saw a picture of me wearing this pair and my sister wearing flat shoes said,"Wow, your sister is so short compared to you, huh?" LOL.

Photobucket

Photobucket

I am shooting an ad for a fake jewelry brand here. Looks nice, eh?? (just smirk not LOL)

Photobucket

Stripes is a must this season. And I hope suspender will soon be in (or has it in and out already?). Don't really care. Pulling androgyny look proves can be as fun and as challenging, too.


Photobucket

And nerdy look. Looking stupid in the thick glasses.

Photobucket

Another dine out nite. This cropped t-shirt is very comfy. Haven't worn my denim jacket for a while then, so it's time to make a re-run, here with tulip skirt and a pair black pumps, with extra platform on the front.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

EEYYAAAKKKKK (Fran's boyfriend signature scream)

Photobucket

Another EEEYAAAAKKKK......

Photobucket

Eseeee........ Emo-esque me (vomit chicken and duck)

Photobucket

With the girls. I am a giant among them tiny creatures.
I was trying to mix pattern here, polkadots and stripes. Both the top and the cardigan and the beige oxford shoes are from my online shop.
I just can't express how much I love the shoes, because I finally got myself a pair after looking for quite some time. Most of the time, in my attempt of Oxford hunting, if it is not the quality that sucks then it is the price that doesn't suit me.
But this pair, it checks all the qualifications I demand from an Oxford.
So, again, love to the max.....!!!!

Photobucket

With the best one. He looks good, doesn't he?? Certainly does!!! Mucho amor.... LOL

Photobucket

With the girls, again. After watching "Sex and The City 2", which is a very entertaining movie. I can't say I REALLY love the movie, but it did crack me up with some of the lines, especially Samantha's remarks regarding sex and men.

Photobucket

So, post watching the movie, and based on our outfit that day, we split characters of the movie among us. From left to right : Carrie, Charlotte, Miranda and Samantha.
LOVL (that's acronym for Laugh Out Very Loudly, my creation)

In reality, we agree that Angela and Angel are Charlotte, I am Miranda (as always, hahaha) and Fran is Carrie.
HAHAHAHAHA.
No one wants to be Samantha. She is the life of the series, imo. Without her, the series will be too boring with Charlotte's up-tightness, Miranda's cynicalness and Carrie's drama.

Photobucket

Posing alone after reaching home.

Photobucket

One of many gifts from the best one. WUUIIIHHHH. The flattest ever flat shoes. Love to the super duper max!!!!!

Till the next post. Adios, darlas.... ;)
