oh boy oh boy

OKAY SO THIS LITERALLY DISTURBS MY SATURDAYYY!

my mom suddenly talked to me about a girl who has been learning how to play bass for only 2 years but can play like Barry Likumahuwa already. she wants me to be like that on piano.

OMG. its weird. my last post was about me not wanting to be a pianist and now the situation is forcing me to be one. hmphf.

theres nothing i can do except following what my mom wants.

right. whatever. we never know what the future brings.

ciao!

ready. set. go. FIREEEEE!

okay, maybe the title of this post is a little too much :p

TODAY. november 3rd 2009. is one of the big day of my life.

TODAY. november 3rd 2009. i will be joining the ABRSM piano exam.

everyone who learns music KNOWS that ABRSM is a big, internation music school or somethin like that. they have a high standard and their exams are probably twice harder than yamaha's or any other exams.

and i am a girl who, literally, hates piano. i never really enjoyed it. fact is, i've been learning piano for 6 years and i struggled so much for piano. my dad is a musician and he wants me to at least, learn to be a musician as well. i am really lazy to practice piano but still, whenever it comes to an exam, i of course will study hard to pass the exam!

right now, im trying to get my mind to think that piano is something i do for my parents. to make them proud, and happy. but THATS IT! my dream is to be a fashion designer, a photographer, and a writer. NOT a musician. my parents has got to understand that. but we never know, i MIGHT JUST be a piano teacher someday. or someone who plays piano at church. but NO, i wont be a musician. i wont be playing on stage as a pianist, i wont be a musician. thats FINAL!

my parents always tells me that the purpose of me learning piano is that i can make money easily in the future. well yes, i see many musicians living luxuriously just because of their music gigs. HA! yeah! but what if im rich but i dont enjoy my life? i dont enjoy my job? thats NOT gonna happen. i will do music jobs only if im ever kepepet in the future :P

so yeah, back to my ABRSM exam. i did well just now. i kept on praying the entire time and i said to myself 'ready. set. go. FIREEE!' and thank God, i did good! i was great on songs, on scales, especially on oral test. but i messed up a liittleee bit on the sight reading. what the heck, i gave my best shot already! but im sure that i'll pass :) i really had a great day today, thank goodness :)


okay thats it for the day guys! enjoy the rest of the week! xoxo

Arneil Joseph Caras, may you rest in peace.

so last night, i received a text from my friend, Amanda Indriani. it says 'lets pray for our dear brother rj.may he rest in peace :('

and there it goes. i was speechless.

honestly, i was never such a close person to RJ. i barely even talked to him, but i DO know that he is a really great man. everybody loves him, everybody adores him, everybody respects him, and even called him 'daddy RJ'.

but now what? he's gone.

gone because of that damn cancer. he's been through a lot pain because of cancer, for sure. so im glad that his pain stopped. but im also SAD because his pain stopped but his life stopped also :(

i never imagined last night would be such a sad shocking night for the people around RJ.

all we can say is, may you rest in the heavenly peace RJ.

all we can do is keep sending prayers for him and his family, and just let him go.

"time moves on because it has to, and so do we."
we move on, but that doesnt mean we forget him.
i know for sure that RJ will forever be in our hearts.

love u brother.

a sudden thing that made me smile!

helloooo people. happy sundaaay. anyway, i was browsing tumblr and then found this pic. when i first saw it i was like 'anjiiingggggg keren bgt!'. this thing is a SERIOUS inspiration and i reallyyyyy wish i can have this cake as my bday cake next year awww <3

anywaaay, weekdaysss here we go again!
lets survive this school week.
dont forget to always smile, face every trouble maturely
and keep growing fonder in every aspects of your lives.
be blessed! xoxo

what to wearrrrrr :)

so, my uncle's wedding day is coming up in like, 2 weeks and i still dont have my dress :( so tonight i googled some casual party dresses and will show it to my grandma tomorrow. ( P.S my grandma can sew and she sew a lot of clothes for me already.. and she's also gonna sew this dress that i'll wear! ) i searched for the dresses that are rather easy to make so that my grandma can finish it faster. i found some that suits my style and taste, but i will change some things in the dress, like for example cutting the length of the skirt or changing some part of it. will discuss further with grandma tomorrow! :)
and guys, dress nya mending pake tangan atau tangan buntung aja yaaww? bingung -_-

i like the style of miley's dress but i think its too long. i think i'd just make the skirt until the knee only, not that long. and oh, i like her shoes! :)


LOVING this dress because its HIGH WAIST god damn it! really love the skirt!! i would just make it a bit more elegant so it would be suitable to be worn to a party :)

ah my god, this one is also cuteeee. i'd just leave it to my grandma to choose which one is the best for me :)


adios chicas! have a SUPERB weekend. enjoy it while its hot! :)

TOPSHOP.COM such an inspiration

i just finished watching Brigde To Terabithia (all-time favorite, very very touching. i'd cry every time i watch it.) and i dont know what else to watch. so i decided to do a little inspiration-search for (of course) fashion design. i chose to open topshop.com, and woots! i mean, i've never opened topshop's website before. like, why should i open its website if i go there often enough? (FYI, eventhough i go there often enough, i dont buy their stuffs that often :D) so i found amazing collections from topshop.com i must say that their stuffs are good, but some of them arent worth the price. im not saying that its expensive, its just not worth it. SOME are not worth it. and just being honest, topshop's clothes can be so standard sometimes. i dont like their stuffs, SOMETIMES :p so, here's some pics of the clothes that suit my style that i found at topshop.com few minutes ago :)

P.S : the third and ninth picture below are my favorite from all 10 pics :) i love all of the 10 pics though :) oh well i really love the first and the tenth picture as well :) gosshh gimme topshop!

BOOKS. i need these, seriously.

i went to kinokuniya at grand indonesia a few days ago and oh maaan i'd die for these books! want them so badly badly badly!

1. wrap and drape fashion
2. the fashion designer's directory of shape and form
3. 100 new fashion designers
4. the tokyo lookbook


well i can just say i want everything on the 'fashion design' shelf, but these 4 are the books that i REALLY WANTTT! buy them for me, please? ;)
