Currently I am on my 7th month pregnancy.

Watching Sigur Ros live was such a magical experienced since the very beginning. They can really set up the mood to the maximum, with their amazing visual and beautiful music.

I might be far away from where Jonsi stood. And it's also the first time I just sat down, without busy taking pictures, but just enjoying the concert. Listen to the music. Feel the ambience. Be a part of the concert. Not want to let the concert ends. It was so magical. Wonderful. Beautiful.

I didn't understand even a word what Jonsi said. I might just know 'brosandi' and 'hoppipolla' word. By this, I think Sigur Ros has proved what music is for; to feel, to enjoy, to be grateful hearing such a good music.

I am thankful I was there.
I am grateful I had such experience to see them live.

Watching concert sometimes is a once in a life time moment you won't regret, because it's so wonderful to see and hear good music live.

And Sigur Ros concert is one of the reason why.

Another bucket list has been stroke.

Can't believe it's already Java Jazz Festival again! Even the venue is in the far far away island, but I still made it to be part of it. Well, actually it's because I should write about it XD. But anywaay, Java Jazz has became 'another' annual conference for me and of course other music lovers to see great musicians performance on many stages in just 3 days only. I came only on the 1st day, but overall get excited to see how Indonesian musicians were more appreciated we can see by its fullhouse! Congrats!

So, just in case you are not Indonesian and want to know about this music festival, Java Jazz Festival is a 3-days music festival for Jazz lovers. You can see many great jazz performances, not only from Indonesia, but also international musicians. This is absolutely a chance to see good music in 3 days, especially if you only can see music through your local tv, it's a totally refreshment. Just watch ad be part of it, you can already feel the music and enjoy this festival.

Not only because I love music, but this festival had a really warm memory for me. We can just hear, see, and feel it. :)

See you in Java Jazz Festival 2014!

Bali lagi, yuk!

I learned something today.
Sky is not always be the limit.
Horizon line in the sea is not always the limit.
Something within you, a tiny little thing inside you, the deepest area you can't even reached by your own palm, sometimes is the limit.

Don't ever let yourself hurt and hurt ever again for the same thing.
It's always because whether you're too stupid, or you're too in love.

Have you ever liked someone for over 8 years?
Just because you want to stay liking him, and never getting bored liking him for no reason. Gue bahkan terlalu sering membahas dia di blog ini. Seperti di sini, di sini, di sini, di sini, atau di sini.

Jadi, hari ini, teman-teman gue ngajakin ketemuan. Mau ngasih kado ulang tahun, katanya. Sempat agak GR dan curiga mengingat jam ketemuannya maksa banget, karena biasanya fleksibel mengenai jam. But I still came anyway.

Jadilah gue datang dengan bawaan segembol seperti biasa kalau pulang kantor. Sampai di Remboelan Restaurant Plaza Senayan, gue duduk, buka laptop, dan berencana balas email yang tertinggal di kantor. Posisi duduk awalnya adalah gue di pojok, depan gue Tata, sebelah Tata ada Haqi, dan sebelah gue/sebrang Haqi ada Valeska. Nah, si Valeska tiba-tiba pindah ke sebelahnya, menyisakan kursi kosong diantara kita dan gue sempet curiga. "Lo ngapain sih pindah duduk? Mencurigakan"

Dan ketika gue siap melanjutkan ngetik email, ada yang datang duduk di sebelah kursi gue sambil mengulurkan tangan. "Happy belated birthday ya..." That nose. That voice. That man. The one and only; Fedi Nuril.

Cengo.
ANJRIT.
ANJRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.
Gue sukses teriak menggelegar di PS, bahkan gue bisa mendengar teriakan gue menggema.


Gue mati gaya, panik, grogi, tangan gemeter, salah tingkah, dan literally ga tau harus ngapain. Instead, gue malah izin buat bales email kerjaan dulu, dan menganggurkan idola sepanjang masa yang sedang duduk dengan manis di sebelah gue.

Sangat menyenangkan bisa mengobrol di sore hari bersama idola. Apalagi ketika dia memang sadar bahwa gue selama ini ada. "Tahu lah, dari facebook, twitter, apalah, eh dari friendster juga ya?", katanya. Semacam gak sia-sia kenorakan gue selama ini. (Ini harusnya bangga ga sih?)

Dan senang banget bisa kritik dan kasih saran langsung tentang aktingnya di 5cm yang memang harus banyak eksplor lagi, walaupun agak malu-malu. Gue pun dengan bangga cerita 3x nonton 5cm. Maksud gue, gak semua orang kan bisa kritik idolanya sendiri secara langsung, supaya dia pun bisa berkembang JAUH lebih baik di karya berikutnya?

Juga rasa bahagia gue bahwa AKHIRNYA bisa cerita langsung ke fedi sejak kapan gue suka dia. Dia agak shock bahwa gue mulai suka sejak iklan Citra sekitar 8 tahun lalu, dan bagaimana sejak membaca artikel dia di majalah Gadis 8 tahun lalu gue gak bisa move on dari dia. Walaupun masih BANYAK BANGET yang pengen gue ceritain dan pamerkan tentang kecintaan dan kenorakan gue.

Gue gak tahu lagi mau terima kasih seperti apa. Gue sudah terlalu bahagia.
Mungkin euphoria ini bisa berlangsung hingga 5 ulang tahun gue mendatang.

Dan hari ini sukses mencoret dua bucket lists sekaligus: Diucapin selamat ulang tahun secara langsung oleh Fedi Nuril dan Ngobrol-ngobrol santai dengan Fedi Nuril. Reality is beyond my expectation. This is what happiness is.


Terima kasih Haqi.
Terima kasih Tata, Valeska, Tara.
Terima kasih Fedrian Nuril.

Happy 23 years old, Lalla.
Be grateful.

Dan semoga tahun ini bisa ke London ya
(tetep)

I am not a fashionable person. I wear what I want to wear, not that picky with the clothes. But when I had trip to Singapore last month, I saw this person in Orchard wore ombre denim jacket which I found beautiful. I've searched many stores but it's only my friend Dinda's online shop; We Are All Curious which sells them but too bad the jackets are sold out. Desperately, I finally bought a cheap denim jacket, and tried to make ombre denim jacket by my self!

The jacket turned out to be something I like, thus I want to share with you guys. :-)



The steps are easy. You just need denim jacket (of course!), bayclin, and water.
1. Pour the water and bayclin into bucket. I needed 5 bottle cap of bayclin.
2. The original jacket was too dark for me, so I decided to get kinda tie-dye and lighter the color first. If you just want to let the jacket color as it is, then skip this one :)
3. Make ombre by putting the half jacket first into water. After about two hours, put only 1/4 jacket into the bucket.
4. Don't forget to wash it, because the color might still fade off and I, personally, can't stand the smell of bayclin.



Don't you want to try also? :)

shut your eyes
heal your pain

this very moment you let it go
this very moment you forget it out

because this finally ends
and tomorrow can wait

breath in
breath out

let's sleep
