Ika's Wedding (and college reunion)

Attended my best friend's wedding on February 12... 

Sooo happyyyy to meet my good old friends!!

Eating es  puter, having a good chit chats (just like we did at college)... T___T aaahhh miss those moments!!

Taking picture with all guests from Industrial Engineering 2005 :D Whoaaa there were plenty of us!!

Taking picture with DK family. Some of our friend called us: "ibu-ibu PKK" hahahahaa

And don't forget to capture the happy faces! :D SMIILEEEEEE!!!

For me, it kinda hurt me in a sweet way remembering my college. To have a good friends like my friends, to have so many precious moments, aaahhh I know things will never be the same again... We've stepped in our own lives (and futures)... This will never happen again: "kumpul angkatan" or doing tasks in lab, or hunting discounted KFC at 3 to 5 PM. Miss you all guys!

BTW, check my February posts... Today is the last day of my giveaway!

Miss Pinkish

Last week I wore pink dress and suddenly half of my office told me I'm beautiful *wahahahahahahahhh*

(Lately I've been too lazy to dress up so when I wear cute outfit, everyone notice)

From now on I've decided to wear good clothes everyday, coz it can boost the good moods.

I've decided to minimize the number of clothes in my closet and keep only the ones which makes me happy.

Uhm, by deciding to wear good clothes, it doesn't mean not to wear the same clothes twice or more. But it's kind of choosing quality over quantity. Keep only the pieces you love the most. Give away clothes that leads you to the bad moods (whether it actually doesn't fit you, or unflatter your body, or too tight or too sexy?)

So, by the end of this month, I guess a big pile from my closet will go out. Leaving some empty space. So that I can breathe more freely.

I've decided to live in a simple way of life.

This pink dress, keep it or leave it?

Hmmm... keep it..

Been reading http://www.becomingminimalist.com/ and it made me re-think about owning things :)

Live freely!!! Yaayyy!!!

Blacky in a Purple Party

Seems lately there were sooo many many many wedding invitations from my friends!

Hahaha maybe this year's gonna be lots of wedding, coz if it is calculated, me & my friends' ages are around 23-26 years old. Purrrfect to get married :P hahahh

Last Sunday night I came to Raisha's wedding reception. I was excited coz I knew there would be some of my old friends.

With highschool friends ^o^

Up: Innes (also bride wannabe this week), me, Bunga, Tika & Icha

Bottom: Bunga, Icha, Raisha (the bride), Adi (the groom), Tika, Innes, me.

What I wore (the preparation took 30 minutes--include: taking a bath, searching for clothes, and wearing the hijab haha!)

My mom's tunic (all my clothes were not ironed -_-")

denim (okay I'm not supposed to wear denim to a party, am I??)

glittered pashmina

Honey, Caramel, and Chocolate

Attending my friend's wedding and didn't know what to wear. And I wear the clothes I made for a fashion show (here & here) hahahaha... Since I gain some weight, the dress (almost) didn't fit my body :p A little bit tight at waist, but by holding breath, it fits well hahahaa *tahan napas*

dress & bolero: made by me

With high school friends at Putu's wedding. Thanks Innes for the photos! ^__^

By the way, the food that day was served by Sonokembang Catering, hihihihi

*eating tom yum soup, bakso, and caramel pudding :9*

Scrapbooking Time

Remember my post about Hijabee Sparkling Sunday? There were 3 famous speakers (Mrs. Aurelia the personality coach, Mrs. Dian Pelangi & Mrs. Lulu the fashion entrepreneur), and we needed a memorable gift for them! "Plakat" (a kind of trophy/souvenir) was too cliche, so we decided to create a scrapbook for each of them.

At a coordination meeting at Wendy's, I brought all the supplies and asked help from the other committee. Hahaha they're sooo helpful!! We're having fun doing the creative stuffs (while on the other side of the meeting, they were too serious :p)

With mb. Anna (blue veil), Chika (red veil), Pypynk (pink veil) and Hafni (light blue veil & polkadot shirt)

 Well, after the meeting (and crafting) we took photos in some crazy poses. Intan (girl in red scarf) won!! Look at her ridiculous pose =)))) hahahahah 

Tips for creating a low budget scrapbook:

Instead of buying all the stuffs in Scrapbook Store, you can:

• Print photos, cliparts, and ornamental pictures in an A3 doff paper (in digital printing, it costs only Rp 8000 to Rp 15.000 and it's good in quality!). Ornamental stuffs in Scrapbook Stores can cost you up to Rp 100.000. And scrapbook paper were Rp 15.000 - 20.000. Wewww...
• Instead of using 3D foam tape (around Rp 30.000 - Rp 60.000) to add dimension, you can buy 2 mm foams, cut it in squares, and put UHU glue / add double tape (easily found at Gramedia / bookstores). 
• Scrapbook frames (that has depth to put papers) can costs up to Rp 200.000. We used Gift boxes (from card board) found at Gramedia and it's only Rp 20.000 - 30.000

Ahhh I don't have the picture of the finished scrapbook, heheh. But here's a pict featuring the scrapbook:

Inspiration From Japanese Book

I love Japanese craft's book! Here are some scanned images from a book I borrowed (thanks tante Andri!).

Aaaah lovelyyy *_*

Oversized tunic. It hides our body shape, yet it looks cute too! (Or is it because the model's already beautiful? Haha)

Wrapped skirt. I LOVE the navy blue skirt! But I guess it's not suitable for pear shaped body like me :p

Fabric Quilting. Those quilts are so neat & creativeeee... I want em alll *_*

Aaaaa.... Do you like them too?

In my opinion, crafts in Japanese' books are never dull & never "norak". Every crafter has the soul to deliver perfection, from the best materials to the neat technique... We should do the same, shouldn't we? *I mean, passion for perfection*

Fun Site Review: Pictriev

Hahaha just found this site from Photoscape's application (there's a link to Pictriev)

Pictriev will find some faces similar to you, whether it's on the net, or celebrity look-alike :p

Just try it, it's fun (& shocking -___-" they said my face was 91% boy)..

Hihihi why did Pictriev refers my face to Korean's? Do I look like Korean girl? Xixixixixi

(^o^)v

PS: Thanks to Rania, Mirza, & Putri for the correction :p Yeayyy I'm 91% girl!! Hahahahahh
