being 25 and applemint

Celebrated my bday at Seribu Rasa, Menteng

Bday card from Chris, with a picture of a dog that is quite similar to Inul. How cute!

This one is applemint from Poste.
a pleasant drink to see, very pretty.

Batik Day

Today was National Batik Day. I tried to get creative with my mom's batik top.

Ate at La Porchetta. The taste is helplessly Italian..which is bad for my Asian tongue.

Some books to keep me entertained in couple days to come.

I think all restaurants which sell pasta should provide dried chillis.

My new vintage bracelet ~ Love it.

A long weekend..

..which was long coz i stayed up late for 3 days in a row.

First day, Fri nite I went to GI with Citra, browsed some stuff I could buy with my MAP voucher :p Loved a sequin blazer at Pull and Bear but not too sure about it, then we jumped to Senci, did a gossip session at a cafe while other people did their midnite shopping.

The next day I kept on thinking about that blazer, so being an obsessive shopper I went back and purchased it :D And on the afternoon I went eating with friends at Kelapa Gading, continued with hang out at Mall of Indonesia (MOI) till 2 AM.

We always do seafood at Kelapa Gading. Here's Asep the bday boy blew his candles surrounded with us, pretty gals :p

On Sunday, again I went back to GI with my bf and ate some good stuff; Sour Sally Large Green Tea with Mochi, Peach and Strawberry topping. Chicken Master's really great in doing chicken, I love their steamed chicken, and also their salted egg shrimp!The day was ended with a nice Starbucks Signature Ice Chocolate Venti. Watched The Hangover, it was hillarious.
Worn my new shoes for the 1st time..love it. Benji was home btw.

Love my Zebra dress

Here's some book and movies i'm planning to do next month;
- Book : Guernsey by Mary Ann Shaffer
- Movies : Fame, Time Traveller's Wife, He's just not that into you, and The Informant

Saw Marshanda, she was cute!Sun's still shining, babe, you can still put a smile on your face.
Have a great day everyone!

BrightSpot

Amazed by Brightspot in Grand Indonesia, Sept 10th-13th ago. The caption under the name already explain what it stood for; 'a 4 days market of all things cool.'

Literally cool stuff which would fits an 'AGJ' (Anak Gaul Jakarte!) are all here, starting from alternative fashion choices ('indie' new designers), bicycle stuff, aksara bookstore, and other cool things you could think about.

The main dish here must be the rising young designers, some of them starred in Bazaar Indonesia Aug article in 'Bright Young Things' section.
Young designer brands such as Nikicio (Ps. LOVE LOVE Nikicio kitten motif), KLE, Majic, and stores which sells their stuff such as Happy-Go-Lucky were there. Some are Online shops that are already famous among their society such as Petite Cupcakes and Cotton.ink. The 'it' fashion items such as Melissa shoes, which still rare in Indonesia also had their booth here.
Young, rich and stylish are the designers, and also the buyers.

Ayyway I enjoyed the atmosphere, which for me was like an upscale Chatuchak market. The stuff was a bit pricey, but maybe that was the price of originality and creativity. Whoever the conceptor, they're great.

about today

Infatuation
Not seeing the rest of you is getting the best of me
It’s such a shame that you shot me down
It would have been nice to be around

I’m touching your skin
If it’s only a fantasy, then why is it killing me?
I guess this must be infatuation

I want it I want it I want it I want it
I want it I want it I want it I want it

(Infatuation - Maroon 5)

“Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs
