RECENTLY

Oh lord.
Pretty harsh reality for a 22 year-old like me.
But as a wise man said, life is like a wheel, it keeps on moving and there will be the ups and the downs. 
Well, guess this is my very first ugly experience.
But I'm still 22, I still have a long road ahead of me, so I actually got nothing to worry about, this too shall past :)

OLD FILES

Found these old works in the untouched folders. Better I post them here before I completely forgot about their existence.

my sister
 my self.
 my best friend.
him, who's know having fun in the other side of the world.
One advantage of being bored and lonely. I always get creatively productive.

A Little Princess (1995)

This is one my favorite childhood movies, one of those that still on my brain until now. I remember perfectly how I stunned over the cinematography of this movie, each frame is like a work of art. It's Alfonso Cuaron's masterpiece starred by the beautiful Liesel Matthews (who happened to be a 'princess' in the real life). 

The story itself is actually a typical Cinderella story but with a different twist. It's not dull though you can predict what's going to happen next and literally guess the ending from the start. Another twist that makes this movie so different is that this movie expose the beauty of India, a lot. Which I'm dying in love with. One scene at the beginning shown the room with a king-sized bed of Sara (the princess) in her house in India, and the decoration was just breath taking, very warm, very eclectic, very 'India'. I fell for that room and until now it's still haunting my dreams. I would want a room like that one day.

I just watched it again today, on my lazy Saturday. Seriously on the acute level of boredom. A disease that only attacks me in time like this, when my boyfriend left me yesterday for a 2 weeks vacation in Barcelona. So stupid I once thought that he would prefer to spend his holiday with me than going there. HA HA. Yea, right. Well at least it's not India. 

 The bedroom I've been bragging about. My future room, for sure.
 How does it feel to have this heavenly river near your house. Good Lord.
 Sadly she has to move to New York and live in a some kind of girl school/dorm. But then you see the room she get in the dorm on the third pic. How could anyone resist that??! Dammit.
 My favorite part. When Sara recalls the Ramayana story.
 The school girls. If you notice there is an appearance from little Camilla Belle in this movie (last picture). Still young and innocent. Remembering those Jurassic Park days when she appeared only to be killed..Oh and actually the black girl on the first pic also starred in one of Jurassic series, but she remained alive till the end of the movie.
 Again, one of my favorite scenes! What is a children movie without a little touch of magic?
 Tons of heart breaking scenes.

So if you happen to share the same boring weekend with me, go watch this movie, it's really refreshing to indulge your imagination for a while.

LET'S GO, NOW.

Sunday.
Lots of people hate Sunday since it's the end of the glory weekend. The last day to breathe easily without pressure from anybody. Not for me though. I'm still on my grace period before starting my new job. So it doesn't really matter for me.

But still I'm going to live my Sunday to the fullest! well it's not that I have things to do tomorrow but the rest of people do, so today is also my last day to hang out before I'm left out. Get dressed up and heading out as early as possible. 

A LONG WALK

Spent the half of my Saturday in bed, eating and watching crap on television. Thanks god my savior came to pick me up to save my almost wasted Sunday night. We ended up having dinner at Mother's Cook. They simply have the best western meals ever. 

Well I did go outside in the morning though to take these outfit pictures, just for the sake of this blog really :). Bag and shoes from Charles and Keith, this brand is for some reason very famous (maybe because it's easy in the pocket). I'm actually not a money spender ans I hate shopping at malls, I always feel like I'm being robbed and deceived to pay such prices cause seriously people, those stuff can't be that expensive! It's original price has been added with the taxes (still okay) and the high rent expense for a slot in the mall (meh!). That's basically what makes everything there expensive and I refused to pay for that. I'd rather buy stuff from online stores or flea markets (just like the shirt and skirt). I bought them on sale and I got a pretty good discount, that's the only reason I bought it.

The loose shiny cardigan is from a local factory outlet, you could be surprised by what you might find in factory outlets, I recently went wild shopping in two factory outlets in one day. I was very surprised that they have all these items that I'm longing to have but always fail to find. And they sell it with a pretty good deal (all under 100k). I think we should not under estimate factory outlets, give them a shot, if you're lucky, the one near your might sell all things you need. <3

As a wise man once said, It's not about what you wear it's how you wear it. The same thing goes, it's not about where you buy it, it's how you put things together. Mix and match is the key.

Night everyone. ;)

ONE GLORIOUS MORNING

It always feels like an epic win to be able to wake up after 8 on weekdays. Ever since I'm being employed and started my new life as a middle-low class worker, that facility is automatically gone. I've to wake up at 4.30 am every single morning. However! Yeay! Those days of suffering from drowsiness and itchiness (on the days where I didn't even have the time to take a shower,yes,those days exist!) are over now. I got a new job, with a normal working hours (my former job is a management training program so the class always start at 7) and a location that a lot easier and faster for me to reach. And since I haven't started yet, I got a whole week of doing nonsense and screwing my sleeping cycle. How nice.

So in one of those glorious mornings, me and best friend decided to stroll down around her house.

The green shirt I wore as an outer and the white collar shirt inside were all thrifted. I just love shopping in flea markets it always makes me feel like a treasure hunter.
