Union Jack Part 1

When my parents asked me to have a trip to London and some countries in West Europe, I was very happy and excited. I'm very grateful that I have such awesome parents. Too bad my brother couldn't join us because he wasn't on holiday :'(, if he came together with us my pictures would be so much better since he's good at photography. *sigh*

Going to Europe was my first time ever. I've never been into any countries beside Asia and Australia before. I worried a lot about the long flight. I couldn't sleep easily on the plane and I'm an impatient person. Thanks God the trip went very safe and on the plane I could watch many movies to keep me away from boredom although I was sooo annoyed by three kids who couldn't stop screaming and crying during my flight to London. huhuhuhu T-T.



The first place I visited after the airport was Buckingham Palace. The weather on that day was very cold and I was freezing! There were a lott of tourists too in London. I really liked the 'old-style' buildings in London. I guess I was tired seeing modern buildings in Asian countries. Hehehe... I just don't know why, they looked so nice and neat!

What I wore on that day : black sleeveless shirt from sheinside, jacket from stradivarius, bag from the cambridge satchel company, and glitter sneakers from zara kids.

A closer look to the golden metal collar of my shirt from sheinside. It's so cool.. isn't it? :D

This place  is near to Westminster Abbey church .



Can you notice something from this pic?


With my mom!

Tower Bridge




I went to Madame Tussauds and it was really crowded! I hate being in a too crowded place because I will bump into some people. Ugh... I wanted to take picture with the statue of UK's royal family but the queue was too long T.T


I deeply apologize to all beliebers, that me, who isn't a fan of JB managed to take picture with him. I'm sure  most of you never take pic with him right? (I mean I'm one step ahead) hahaha *snob mode : on*, *I'm not serious ok*

the girl next to me looked like Khloe Kardashian. :P

And oxford street was the last stop on that day. It was Saturday, everyone went for shopping, and the street was soooo crowded too. I went to Primark and it was the biggest and the most crowded place. But still, me and my mom didn't give up and bought a lot of clothes there. I was shocked to find out that they're very cheaaaapppp! Hehehe
Okay, I think that's all about the first day in London. Actually I took more pics but if I post it all it'll be too much -_-. My conclusion about London : the people in London are very TALL. I felt like a lilliput there. I also met some guys who looked like One Direction's Harry. And then, there were a lot of 1D's merchandises too! I bought some for my friend who's a directioner :D
See you on the next post !

Happy Easter

I wore this outfit to my best partner in crime's birthday dinner on April 4th. I and my friends gave him weird and funny gifts like a dog-poo scoop, dog necklace, etc. because we were confused what present we should give to him. Since he's a fan of dog, so we bought him some dog utensils xP. We bought him  a dog-bone shaped cake too :). He said it's the best day ever in his life and it made us happy! After we had dinner we went to karaoke. One of my friend really love karaoke-ing and this week I've joined him thrice O_O *Good thing that my voice doesn't crack!*

I wore a dress from divided by h&m, unbranded vest, yellow belt from bershka, shoes from oasap.com, and socks from socks gallery.

I didn't talk (type) much in my previous post because I was in a rush when I wrote that post, and now I can't hold it anymore and I must type it... -_-
One thing that I dislike from myself is that I'm a kind of person who think / worry too much. When there's a problem comes, I can't stop thinking about it, and at the end I'm stressed. I can't sleep , I can't concentrate.  I've been trying to relax and not to think too much about the problems, but it's hard.

Like now, I have some problems with my friends, although it's not really serious, I've been thinking about it since last week. I have a lot of friends. And they're in different groups. Sometimes I hang out with this group, sometimes with that group. I'm close and I feel comfortable with all of them. But right now there's something wrong with a group. I have a friend who was actually very kind and patient, but now it looks like he has changed. He becomes sensitive easily and it starts to make me feel uncomfortable when I hang out with him and the rest members of the group. Usually we joked like there's no tomorrow, but now a little joke can make him angry like there'll be the 3rd world war.. Omg. It's not a healthy friendship anymore. And none of us can give advice or suggestion to him because all of us are too scared. in my heart I really want to talk to him but I don't think it's the right time and if I fail, the problem will get bigger and I'll be moree stressed. So I guess I just have to go with the flow and wait for the right time ? There are so much beautiful memories between us which make me feel so happy every time I think about it... 

I've been enjoying my easter holiday by doing some exercises in the morning. I just wanna get healthier and slimmer and have a flat stomach.. hahaha. I'm actually a very lazy person who have a big eating appetite . I don't snack a lot but my meal portion is really big. I rarely do exercise except I have dance projects. Thank God now I'm really serious to do exercises this holiday so I hope the result will be good! My best friends also ask me to join them playing badminton for around twice a week. arghhhh flabby tummy y u no go away?!?!?!

Talking about school, I feel so happy being in the A class because most of the students are diligent and I automatically become diligent too. We could finish 80 science questions only in 15 minutes and it surprised me! xD.

oh yea, I almost forget to say HAPPY EASTER !! I went to church to have easter mass yesterday with my friends. I'll post the outfit that I wore yesterday soon! I remember when I was in the kindergarten, every time the school celebrated easter day, there'd be some games like hunting easter eggs. And for 3 years, I NEVER got any eggs, my friends were much faster than me T.T 

I should stop thinking too much about my problems for a while because I must concentrate for the upcoming exams and today is a special day and I don't wanna waste my time by being stressed / sad. I just wanna be happy! :)

Who You Are?

This was the outfit I wore when I went to the haunted house. Honestly I didn't wear the wedges as shown above, I replaced it with flat shoes because I knew if I'd run inside the haunted house, and I must wear flat shoes or else I would fall and trapped inside -_-. Okay I won't talk about haunted house anymore because until now I still remember the ghost's voice.. The ghost followed me and said "the girl in the back (it was me because my friends who said they'd accompany me left me).. come here... look at meee!!!" with a very very scary tone so that I screameedddd like crazy, cried, and raaaaannn awayyyy T.T

I wore an unbranded crochet top with topshop sleeveless shirt as inner. My jeans are from GAP Kids, wedges from june+julia, bag & sunglasses from gowigasa.

I can't believe it's almost the end of January, time flies faster and faster. I'll have national examination to continue my study to grade 10-12 on April, and lots of try outs and other exams on February and March. I know I'll be busy and probably I can't blog too much and that makes me sad. But however as a student I must choose school over blogging. My job is a student, not a blogger. Blogging is just my 'playing' world. Where I share my hobby with other people. I enjoy blogging in my leisure time only, even though sometimes I feel weird and 'something strange' when I can't make a new blog post, I must let go that feeling because school is waay more important although I also know that blogging is so much funner than studying :p. In my opinion blogging is also 'studying'. After blogging for almost 3 years, I feel my English skill is improved, my style is improved, and after reading a lot of good articles and stories in this blogging world, I get new knowledge which I never learned at school. 

Sometimes I feel school is really boring and most of schools in Indonesia have more than 10 different subjects to learn. At school I only enjoy mathematics, science, and language lessons (chinese / english). The other subjects are boring.. make me always wanna sleep in every lesson -__-. I don't really like history / sociology because I'm a lazy student, I rarely study, so I don't like to memorize :p.

But there are times when I lovee history so much especially about european countries' history . I loveee history movies! But about my country's history... I'm not too interested because I've learned much about that since elementary school, and I don't know why, I'm just not interested with my country's history. *ok maybe after I typed this people will think I'm not a good citizen*. Now I'm not really proud with my country because everytime I watch tv, 95% of the news are bad news , only 5% are news about my country's achievements or something special else. I don't really care with it anyway. 

My mom always asks me why I am so lazy to study, why I looked like I don't have spirit to reach the top, bla bla blaaah... I'm tired being the 'top' and my current motto is Bill Gates' quote : "I never topped in the university, but today toppers of best universities are my employees". In my opinion, the smartest people at school don't always be the most successful in the future. Success isn't all about smart brain. There are many other factors like luck, your personality, and many other factors which I can't mention it now. You know, mostly at school there must be a nerd, who is the smartest student, but he / she can't get along with people well, and sometimes they're just... weird.. I know they have super brains, super high IQ scores, super ideas, etc... but yeah... In my life's experience, I once met a person who I knew her 'past'. She wasn't a smart student at school, but now she's successful and even more successful than her friend who was smarter than her. I know we don't know how our future will be. Diligence is needed, but forcing isn't needed. I believe a diligent person can beat smart person. 

And also, I just don't want to force myself to study too hard. It only makes me more stressful. As long as I pass the subjects with my own 'standard', I'm happy. I'm already happy when I reach good score but I'm not the highest, although sometimes there are some envy feelings, but school isn't only about score right? The point is.. I don't want to spend my school life by studying too hard only to compete with other smartass at school, running to get the highest score. Trying hard is okay but it's not when it's too hard till you feel pressured I take my life easy, enjoy every minute of it by doing things I enjoy. I wanna have a happy, memorable and fun school life . I just don't wanna have a stressful life because of scores. hahaha. Just be your self and do what you enjoy, don't ever force your self doing something you don't enjoy because I know you're not happy. I'm a smart student but not the smartest. I was the leader of the school committee at school although I wasn't the smartest student at school, my brother was also the leader of school committee when he was in senior high school although he wasn't the smartest and he's even a social student, not from science class. hahaha . *please don't call me snob T.T*

This is just my current opinion, it's free to you to agree or not with my opinion, and as a teenager, my words might be wrong, and I might change my mind too in the future. I wanna write more, but time is  chasing me. It's 9pm already in my place so I must do my homework and prepare my books for tomorrow's lessons at school. See you later!

Jessie J - Who You Are

one thing

I wore this outfit when I went to my friend's new convention hall launching. I wore a plaid shirt from stradivarius, unbranded skirt, and belt from korea :) . Took these pics when I was in a rush, so you can see on the 2nd pic, the left sleeve looked longer than the right -__-".

I mentioned about elle girl Japan a while ago, and I can't resist to post this on my blog, that I WANT to have this hair.. Too bad my school doesn't let the students to dye hair, even in senior high school (grade 10-12). It looks like Diana Agron's hair! I really want that pink-green hi-light (do I spell it correctly?)

When I was in Jakarta my family accompanied my nephew to have a swimming session at mommy n jo f(x) mall. <3

With my best friend + best dancer ever, Gabby :D

Last Saturday I went to church with Nia & Jessica, then went to McDonald's to have some nice chit-chat :)

This photo is a teaser for my upcoming outfit post!

One Direction - One Thing

hello, school girl!

I always get bored with my school's uniform.. I always wish in Indonesia we can have cute uniform like in South Korea / Japan (plaid skirts, blazer, bow tie, etc.) . hahaha.. So this time I dressed up wearing my 'dream' uniform :P. 

The shirt that I wore as inner is from cloth.inc. I paired it with a scallop-polka top from Queentastic's Closet, and red skirt from kochi2 mangga2. For shoes, I wore oxford-wedges that I bought in Taiwan, and socks from hello kitty Japan. Aaaandd, I also wore a headband from Dorothy Perkins!

What do you think? Do I look like an elementary school student? Too childish? or ... ?? hehehehe :)

Dressing up like this gave me more spirit to study (what's the connection between clothes and study?? ==) since I'm going to be very busy with school for preparing the national exam, try outs, etc.. I'm kinda scared with it and I must make sure myself that I can do it!!

pink mood

h

Is this my first post in 2012? Uhm.. The first week in 2012 was great enough. Although I was very busy because I had to practice dance, attended courses and birthday parties, did my upcoming project, etc.. The worst part was everyday in 2012, I was so hard to sleep before 11pm and wake up early in the morning. Okay, this isn't good because I'd be late to school! I'm grateful that I still have some time for blogging.

I got this cute pink top with petterpan collar from Red Cherry Shop, I'm bored to tuck the shirt into my skirt, so I just let it out and paired it with a black skirt and low wedges from Randa .

It rains everyday in my city . And I'm having flu and cough and sore-throat at the same time. T.T. I had taken a lot of medicines but it didn't give any differences T___T. I'm also nervous because this month I'll have my first try out for national final exam. aaaaaaaaaaa.. I need to kick out my laziness as soon as possible and start studying hard! Fighting!!
