I went to Jember last week for Jember Fashion Carnaval. It's basically a runway on the street, with people wearing unique costumes. And it's AMAZING!!! The costumes, shoes, makeup, acts, everything was so cool. This year, the main theme is Revival, with sub-themes garuda, olympic, hortus, chandelier, woods, techno cyber, paradisaea, and barong. I took a lot of photos, I know. I was having a hard time sorting it because there are so many costumes and I can't choose which one is better. Just try to scroll till the end, okay? If I have to pick, my favorite is the blue ones because they stand out so much. I think everyone must see this, Indonesian people can make creation like that!
Hi! As I'm enjoying my life right now, not being rushed to do anything like I'm used to, I'm gonna write how things are going on lately. This is random, but I tell you, this will include some seriously cool stuffs. Don't know if people normally so obsessed like me, but I'm the type of person who care so much about my things.
#1 TIDYING MY ROOM
Getting rid of papers and stuffs I don't need anymore. I love this activity a lot, it makes me feel peaceful. I think I have waited the time to let all this stuffs go since a while
#2 NEW PHONE
Ever since my old phone died last week (it suddenly turned off and can't be turned on again), I know I have to get the new one. I realized nowadays phone is more of a necessity. So I got a new phone, my first time using iPhone, and I feel like tons of my problems are solved.
#3 ALEXANDER MCQUEEN SHOES
How cool is that! I know neon is not the easiest color to be matched, but I think it can go well with neutral colors like black or white. My friends' aunt knows I love cool shoes and she gave it to me. I can't be more thankful.
#4 KYLIE LIPKIT
I never imagined that I will ever get this products. It's a huge hits out there and I've watched so many reviews about it. My country is far away from US. If I buy it from re-sellers, the prices are around twice of the original. if I buy it directly from the website, it can be more (because of the shipping fees, etc). Besides, I'm not sure whether it'll arrive safely or not. So I got this from my aunt who lives in the US, who happened to back to Indonesia this month! I'm super excited. I got three mattes : Candy K, Koko K, Exposed and three glosses : Like, Literally, So Cute.
#6 CLOSER - THE CHAINSMOKERS FT. HALSEY
There my girl Halsey did it again! I can't believe she's getting bigger and bigger. Now she's doing collaboration with The Chainsmorkers! Love her part a lot.
#5 LUCKY CAT COFFEE & KITCHEN
Homey and bright places always have my heart. You know, when you just hang out with your friends, talk and laugh casually, plus take a lot of good photos. When you just feel so grateful about life and people around you, I call it : celebrating life. I can't say I enjoyed the food so much though but it's still okay.
THERE IS A HOUSE BUILT OUT OF STONE
WOODEN FLOORS, WALLS AND WINDOW SILLS
TABLES AND CHAIRS WORN BY ALL OF THE DUST
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE I DON'T FEEL ALONE
THIS IS A PLACE WHERE I FEEL AT HOME

Just after my graduation announcement (more stories about it later), I had a short getaway with my family to the beach. It's been a routine since I was young, for every one or two years, to go on vacation like this. YEAH it never fails to impress me though. I had so much fun I must say. The highlight must be playing with the waves: it come towards you, push you forwards, and then it go to the shoreline and disappear, but here come another. It's not something you can experience anywhere or anytime. You just feel nothing but grateful. Also, not to mention the overload delicious food. My stomach almost couldn't handle it anymore. This definitely remarks my freedom. My thought was lightened, my heart was lightened. I felt so warm around my simple family. It's just perfect.
IT'S LIKE BUILDING A CASTLE OF SAND.
YOU PUT YOUR WHOLE HEART MAKING IT
AND SUDDENLY THE OCEAN WAVES WASH IT AWAY.
BUT THERE'S PLENTY OF SAND.
REBUILD.

Maybe I will be a little bit vulnerable on this post, I'm just trying to get out all this thought I have in mind.
So, I'm doing my final project now and it comes really close to the end. I put so much hope and expectation on everything because this is my final semester. On people, on what I do. I want to end my four years university life with good memories. I've been dreaming of this grand ending with a lot of speech because this journey has never been short and easy. I should end this and say that I'm proud of everything.
But that expectation makes me so fragile. I'm so easy to feel disappointed, betrayed, and brokenhearted. These past years has exceeded my expectation. But life goes on and I can't put everything in just a moment. What happened in the past will still be there. The present and the future are different than that.
WHEN YOU TRY YOUR BEST BUT YOU DON'T SUCCEED
WHEN YOU GET WHAT YOU WANT BUT NOT WHAT YOU NEED
WHEN YOU FEEL SO TIRED BUT YOU CAN'T SLEEP
STUCK IN REVERSE
WHEN THE TEARS COME STREAMING DOWN YOUR FACE
WHEN YOU LOSE SOMETHING YOU CAN'T REPLACE
WHEN YOU LOVE SOMEONE BUT IT GOES TO WASTE
COULD IT BE WORSE?
LIGHTS WILL GUIDE YOU HOME
AND IGNITE YOUR BONES
AND I WILL TRY TO FIX YOU
- FIX YOU, COLDPLAY
LOVE, S
One word for this unique American girl : DOPE!!!
I first listened to her in Justin Bieber's The Feeling (I looove JB's latest album by the way, it's so honest and personal), and followed by watching all her songs and live perfomances.
She released her debut studio album, Badlands, in 2015, which contains songs like New Americana, Hold Me Down, Colors, Ghost, and many more. They have this kind of meaningful yet rebellious lyrics, feel like she's telling the story of her life. (I really love that kind of songs, good lyrics means good song for me. That's why I'm so INTO Ed Sheeran.) Many people said she sounds like a mix of Taylor Swift and Ellie Goulding, but she definitely has her own character.
She got more recognition after took part of The Huntsman : Winter's War movie soundtrack with Castle from her album. I think she is on her pathway to become a big star really soon.
Here are some songs I love, Colors and Hurricane
YOU WERE RED, AND YOU LIKED ME BECAUSE I WAS BLUE
BUT YOU TOUCHED ME, AND SUDDENLY I WAS A LILAC SKY
THEN YOU DECIDED PURPLE JUST WASN'T FOR YOU
- COLORS, HALSEY
- COLORS, HALSEY
