Seven Beloved Items.

I don't know why, lately I feel some kind of too serious. So, this time I decided to post something fun. This is come from Perempuan Sore. She's a broadcaster in my city, and I love how she wrote, very inspiring (you can check here) and on one afternoon, she made this kind of games that we have to take a picture of our seven beloved items, and here's mine :

 Left to right:

* It's a purple hairband, always need it, because I need it to keep my hair proper. Yes, I'm the owner of messy hair type :p
* Black Cherry Umbrella, gift from my very best friend on my birthday. I love cherry very much. And I live in the city that rain frequently

* DIY journal. What more can I say? I put all my journaling thingy here :D
* Amorito Body Shop Perfume. I just love the smell of this perfume. Sweets, and authentic. Unfortunately, this thing discontinued here in Indonesia. I keep the small amount of the liquid there. I will not use it because I'm afraid I can't find the similar fragrance anymore. :(
* My swiss army wristwatch. It's a gift from my old best friend. This item already with me for mmm.. almost 7 or 8 years. And everytime I forgot to wear this things, I always kinda confuse about time :D
* last but not least.. It's my watercolor thingy!! I can't draw anything without them. and of course the brush also. Always the same team, always put them together :)

And this is my table. This is what I see from where I sat and doing some sketch and draw, and sewing, and anything else. Kinda messy, but I love it :D

Cheers!

Thanks for appreciating!! Keep writing! :D

Oh, how I miss my dad :')

Day 4 Favorite Place - Bandung

Bandung is so damn freezing right now. I think because it's already rainy season on November. Last time, I read the news that the temperature is around 15-17 degree (Celcius). Whoaa, it's a breezing one. But I do really like it. Even when Bandung is hot, I like it even more (FYI, I don't like rainy days) 

Bandung is so crowded after all. From week to week, the traffic jam getting worse. And when I'm looking at the car on the road, most of all have letter 'B' on their police number. I'm wondering why many Jakarta's people always come to Bandung so often? What are they looking for? And thanks God, you still make my Bandung feel kinda freezing even when so many Jakarta's people so crowded here and might bring some 'hot' situation ;p

I always think that Bandung is so special and beautiful. I think lot of people feel the same way about it. My Bandung is getting crowded and famous. But I hope Bandung will be the same for me. I hope Bandung will never change. Even at least start from some years ago, Bandung have a lot of transformation. I feel a little dissapointed, but this is still my city. I have lived here for almost twenty five years, for whole my life. So I will love this city until I die. I will not forget this city and what happening to me in here. 

With love, from me. :)

Day 3 Family - Special Day

Today's challenge is about family. Draw anything about your family. Actually for me, the challenge is kinda hard because I don't know what to draw.. I don't want to draw any face here, because I'm not really good at it. ;p

So I think it's better to draw anything else. And then I remember the special moment in my home every year on Idul Fitri Day. There's so many people came to my house, cousins, auntie, uncle, and the rest of the family ;p

In Indonesia, we have this kind of culture that everytime you come to someone's house, you must open your shoes before enter. So, usually they take off their shoes in the front door of my house, and I can't remember when I start to observe it. I always love to see many kind of shoes and slippers in front door. It's very "family-time" and I feel so happy to see many family member in my house ;)

Going Home

Idul Fitri again.. Feel so grateful that I still able to celebrate this day. Remember my last year post about Idul Fitri here.

The Gerbera and Pandan Leaf

This year, I was stay in my home for some weeks after I've got my great journey last month. (I'll post about it later)

Rattan chair, and my room entrance

So, for having some free-weeks at home (lets call it holiday ;D ) this picture show what I've got, and I knew, I have something from doing nothing.. Just laying around all day, have quality time with mom, boyfriend, bestfriends, and my cat. What a life.. :)

Strawberry, my sister-in-law bought for making some break-fasting cocktail :D

My cat, Ipin. Take a nap. He sleep a lot.

My brother's bookcase. Kinda messy but precious.

Pour

marker and tea on baking paper

A little doodling on my own journal. There's my Mom's menu (tempe kecap) she wrote it on the label to mark my lunch box. Hehe..

Ah, I miss my Mom, and want to go home.. :'(

Soka & Kacapiring

Idul Fitri holidays have arrived. I am very pleased to be able to come home. And when I get home, this is the first thing I saw.

Two Hydrangeas and a Gardenia in a vase of used bottles. Amazing isn't it?

That's my mom the one who did it, if you want to know. She set it on the table of our own living room.

And she told me that the Hydrangeas in Indonesian is called Soka, and Gardenia is called Kacapiring. Hoo, I love how the flowers mentioned in my own language..

Then I got the idea to set up two lovely tea cups from my friends on my birthday. Remember I promised to show it before?

Yes, here are that two special and lovely tea cups. With a decal detail of cherry and raspberry on it.





Then I arrange them together..

The box is a packaging of these two cups. It was a very good packaging..

So, Happy Holiday everybody..! Have a very great great Idul Fitri..!!
