Halloween Make-up Ideas

Halloween is coming near and have you prepared for everything?

Today i just rewatched The Purge : Anarchy and it's as good as the last time i saw it. If you haven't seen it, i do think that you need to watch it! The second The Purge is much much much better than the first, which is pretty weird for a sequel. But that's because the story expand, not only in one house, but explaining more what's going on actually when the purge is happened outside the house. It's thrilling and tense, and i really love how they made the plot. And plus, it has a good ending, you should watch it!

The Purge gave me so much inspiration for my halloween ideas, specially with the make up. It's scary and there's not a lot of effort to do. I have picked some make up ideas before, and it's involved with Kyary pamyu pamyu's and Us The Duo in Book of Life Soundtrack.

I know, i'm no good with make up, specially with pretty and all girly and kawaii make up, but when it comes to horror special effects (let's just say, like spooky make-up and zombies) i'm actually good at it. The last time i do that was for my friend's stage make up, and i turned her into a scary granny with a lot of wrinkles x'D (i know, i have a weird talent)

Kyary Pamyu Pamyu

 Kyary pamyu pamyu's make up definitely my first choice, specially because i can combine it with my seifuku and i'll added up with a devil headband :3 The second is carissa alvarado's make up from book of life soundtrack, it looks really good and fun to do! (i really love how she put up the bling bling stickers)

 And the third is from The Purge, which is actually cool and creepy (since both above is not that creepy compared to two below)

The Purge : Anarchy

There's still a lot ideas to do, but most of them are so difficult (like involved liquid latex, which is for now impossible to purchase it in here) and too risky. This time i want something that is simple but stunning and yet still have the creepy vibe :3

Unexpected

Finally haematology class is over. I don't hate it but maybe because after the long 3 months of holiday, my brain didn't get use to a long-almost-15-hours-class non stop with added hours of laboratory experiments  (yes, clinical pathology class is kind of new to us) I accepted that i didn't study well this time, and i accepted that i study all of them two days before the final examination, and it went pretty.. messed up. But hey, at least it's not as messed up as ObGyn class last time!

Life has been complicated lately. Yes, complicated.
Too much feelings involved and since i'm not used to it, i kind of didn't know what to do. People came and gave me opinions, but well.. it really didn't make it easier. I almost wish i could throw it all away like i used to, but this time, it won't go -Because deep in my brain, i know i won't let it go-


I'm trying to be sober, but everytime one thing related to this/him (yeaah, 'him') appeared for a second, they're flooded all over my head. Feelings and thoughts. I feel like i'm completely drunk. It's like everything is different, so different. I guess, everything what they said about 'when you're in love, every song sounds make sense' is right.

Of course this is not the first time to me. I've been trying to.. not feel (more precisely, avoid) to this kind of feelings almost for 5 years. I didn't say that i hate being in love, it just that.. i'm afraid of falling down. 

I write things, stories (well, most of them sad stories) but it seems that eventhough i wrote about morals and how you dealt with heartbreaks or deaths, it seemed that i do not understand it that much. Specially when i am the one in that position.

Althea from Endymion

 As what we wrote in Endymion, when Althea finally accepted that Flux really gone, she said

 "No matter how much you stretch your hand out, there’s something that you can’t touch"

 and i believe that she's true.  

There's something greater, something that cannot simply explained by logic, eventhough i know that such thing as emotions and feelings are controlled by our lymbic system. I can't just run away from all of these feelings, and avoid them. That'd make me as a coward. 
This time, i want to choose. I want to make my choice, and no matter what happened, i'll stood and face it. I didn't want to run away again.

 See? that's how i got really drunk this time, as you can see in my writing -__- i hate to say it. But well, i don't know what to do anymore. It's not that there'll be someone read this and give opinions, but sometimes there are times i just want to write things.

Oh, and also, beside that long useless-chit-chat of something 'blurry', i got a few song that stucks in my head and everytime i have a spare time, i just grabbed and sing it along with my ukulele, here's my recent playlist :

Everybody's Changing

La Vie en Rose (Christin Milloti ver.)

Creep

Summertime Sadness

Dear John

Perahu Kertas

High and Dry - Radiohead

Cooler Than Me - Mike Posner

Dekat di Hati - RAN

Jangan Cintai Aku Apa Adanya - Tulus 

Adelaide Sky - Adhitia Sofyan

I don't always listened to Indonesian music but when i do, that means it is really good x) Both for Tulus and RAN are really good, i'd give them 4.5 of 5 since i love all of their music. You should try to listen it to!

At the end of the summer

Because at the end of the summer,
i would be really sad.
To know that i cannot longer feel the warmth of the sun,
the clear blue sky,
and the summer breeze.

Because at the end of the summer,
i would be really scared.
To think that i would not be able to feel the warmth of the summer again,
to think that my next summer would be totally different than this summer.

And i wish that i wish i could go back to the very start,
but that would not be possible.
Time passed and things changed.
And we cannot take what's left in the past,
no matter how much we want it,
and the only thing we could do is to treasure them.



“I almost wish we were butterflies and liv'd but three summer days - three such days with you I could fill with more delight than fifty common years could ever contain.”
- John Keats


Because at the end of the summer,
i would not say goodbye.
Because i'm sad, i'm scared and i'm hopeless.
And if there's one time i'm being brave, i would say that

"let's make this as an endless summer"

Niagara : The Journey through Time, Antiquity & Modesty

About two days ago, finally i got the opportunity to go inside the highest building in Asia back to 1890. Very classic, oldies and charming, though it's famous because their reputation as a 'haunted mansion'. The design concept of Niagara Hotel is a blending of Brazil, Netherland, China (yes, their former owner is a chinese named Liem Sian Joe, it was originally functioned as family villa) and Victorian style. With the height around 35 meters, this building was built for about 15 years and completed at the end of 19th century.

 

 

It was an accidental night tour, since my mom is so curious about this place. And we were at Lawang, so yeah, why not? she said. It cost 100.000 rupiah for a tour around this hotel, which means you can go to the restricted area--The 4th, 5th and 6th floor. Why is it restricted? well, the tour guide didn't say anything about it.

Niagara Hotel Room

The room hotel is what i will call it 'dirty and dodgy'. It's actually clean but... well, it looks like they didn't change it until someone lay on it. The lights are dim and gloomy (sorry, but the difference from the photos in their website vs. reality is just a big shame) and i don't think i would spent my night in that room, eventhough i love the architecture.

 So, what did you got for a 100.000 rupiah tour? You got tea/coffee and... scenery. I'm serious, eventhough it's like it's haunted (well, there are a lot of reports about them) but i think everyone should visit this hotel in the night, because the scenery at the top of the hotel is just awesome. Specially who loves stargazing or night city life photography, the 6th floor is probably the best spot.

You just have to go through the creepy 4th and 5th floor because it's so dark. There's no light in it, so the only light is from our tour guide's flashlight ._. From the 3th floor to 4th floor, there's a metal gate, so eventhough you're staying the night in the hotel, you can't just go to 4th floor without the guide. And that's the start where it gets creepy hahaha, kidding. I didn't experience anything spooky that time :) i'm a skeptic.

The 5th floor and The watch Tower at the top of Niagara Hotel

And not only that, there is actually the watch tower (i called it so, because there's a bench at the top of it) and please wear your jacket because it's so cold and windy in the night :s (and i was wearing short skirts at that time, i have no idea!) You can sit in the top as long as you like, and you can take a photo from the top of it but make sure you tell your tour guide, because you just don't want to make them wait for a long time because it's cold xD

 Well, and that's a brief journey and review through the haunting old ruin called Niagara Hotel in Lawang, East Java. Ciao and see you next journey time~ (sorry, i didn't get much time to write in blog since everything is so busy today :s)

Hi everyone!

So finally, i've one thing that finished on my summer-to-do-list :3 and it's to learn ukulele! So, please meet my new buddy music named Luddy ^3^)/ this wooden ukulele is from Mahalo, it's cheap (only 25 USD) and it's good enough for me :3

Mahalo Ukulele

My first song is, 'you and me' from Zee avi (zee avi is my first inspiration to learn ukulele) i just really love her song style and her singing is sounds so peaceful to me *_* 'You and me' is a very good song for a beginner, and very easy. Here'sa video from zee avi to make it easier to learn for you :

And here's the chord from ukehunt You and me

If you want a recommended link for ukulele chords, for me personally, i like Ukehunts. Since usually they provide you the chord in pdf + strumming pattern + video, but well they didn't have too many songs, so i guess my second recommendation is Ukutabs :)

anddd here's a list of my favourite song in ukulele ^^ 

(it's really easy for a beginner, just try it)

Swell Window

Bitter Heart

A Team

The Only Exception

Long Live

Begin Again

Fairy Tale Cosplay : Felissimo

 I was surfing the internet when i found an article about a fashion website named felissimo. And it's wrote that they just launching their latest collection of Felissimo's Fairy tale Cosplay. I was sooo ashtonishing with their work just after i saw the whole amazingly-cute-lolita-types of dresses in their latest collection. I just.. *sigh* really wanted all of them!

And here's a pic of them :

As you can see, there are Thumbelina, Pinocchio, Anne of Green Gables, Rapunzel, Little Red Riding Hood, etc. Okay, so they're just a slight of their collection, there are still a lot of them, since their buying method is a bit weird. It's noted in the web that you can't choose which dress, but you choose their collection and they'll randomly picked one for you (well, that's why there are a lot of dresses in one collection). But if you want 2-3 dresses, make sure you didn't order them in the same month. (Felissimo will decide the actual design delivered to you. If you order more than 1 set in the same month, same designs will be delivered. If you order in another different month, a different design will be sent to you : from the website)
 
Oh, and should i noted, not just that. Felissimo still have another collection of their super cute dresses, The Sailor Seifukus! Seifuku itself means japanese girl uniform. And this is their collection :

Well, for me, i'm in love with them to death!! I'm planning to work on them (since i can't afford it, i'll just make them..) as soon as i can :'D and i can't wait to wear them to my campus! They're just too adorable!
If you wanna buy it, just click here for the blue one, and here for the white-blue :D
