Batalnya Konser Lady Gaga di Indonesia - Sebuah Renungan untuk Indonesia

2012-05-27T13:39:00.000+07:00

Siang ini konser Lady Gaga di Indonesia yang akan diselenggarakan di Gelora Bung Karno, Jakarta tanggal 3 Juni 2012 positif dibatalkan. Kebetulan saya memang lagi mantengin timeline twitter yang mendadak heboh atas dibatalkannya konser Mother Monster ini oleh pihak manajemen Gaga. Saking hebohnya batalnya konser Lady Gaga ini sampai menjadi world trending topic di Twitter diantaranya: #IndonesiaIsSorryGaga dan Konser Lady Gaga Batal. Pihak Gaga sendiri membatalkan Monster Ball Tour-nya ke Indonesia atas beberapa pertimbangan menyangkut keamanan individu-individu yang akan berada pada concert-nya bulan depan.

Jadi ceritanya gini (buat yang belum tahu), salah satu organisasi Jaringan Islam Liberal di Indonesia yaitu FPI (Front Pembela Islam) menolak diadakannya konser Lady Gaga di Indonesia dikarenakan mereka tidak menyukai style fashion, ideologi, dan sikap kontroversial Lady Gaga selama ini. Mereka mengancam akan mengambil "tindakan" jika konser Lady Gaga tetap dilaksanakan. Sebenarnya bukan cuma FPI sih yang menolak, beberapa organisasi Jaringan Islam Liberal yang lain juga banyak yang menolak, bahkan termasuk juga beberapa partai di Indonesia. Tadinya keputusan jadi enggaknya konser masih diragukan, karena di satu sisi pihak kepolisian juga enggak mau terjadi hal-hal yang tidak diinginkan selama Lady Gaga berada di Indonesia. Dan sampailah puncaknya pada siang ini, dimana akhirnya pihak manajemen Gaga memutuskan untuk membatalkan konser Mother Monster a.k.a Lady Gaga.

Jujur saya sebagai fans Lady Gaga kecewa, tapi saya enggak mau menyalahkan. Saya justru males ngeliat isi home Twitter saya sekarang, isinya adalah tweet dari orang-orang yang saya follow yang nyalah-nyalahin negara, ngata-ngatain negara bodohlah, apalah. Saya tidak suka membaca negara saya dikatain bodoh sama warga negaranya sendiri. Sekarang kalian tahu kan siapa yang bodoh? Katanya kalian orang Indonesia kok malah benci dan enggak mendukung negara sendiri sih.

Saya justru mau mengucapkan selamat kepada FPI, ini ucapan selamat yang tulus, bukan ucapan selamat dengan nada sinis yang beredar di twitter untuk FPI. Saya senang FPI punya sikap tegas menolak konser, yang saya tidak senang ya itu, sikap main hajar FPI dalam menyelesaikan masalah. Seandainya negara saya ini punya sikap tegas untuk apapun, mungkin batalnya konser Lady Gaga atau konser siapapun atau acara apapun yang menyangkut hubungan internasional tidak akan pernah terjadi di negara ini.

Mari berkaca pada negara-negara lain demi kemajuan negara kita. Saya masih ingat dulu waktu SheilaOn7 harus mengganti lirik lagunya di Negeri Jiran, Malaysia, karena ada kata-kata dalam lirik lagu SO7 yang tidak pantas terdengar di telinga Malaysian. Dan Malaysia berhasil menunjukkan ketegasan dan jati diri bangsanya. Lalu Korea Selatan dan Filipina yang juga memberi aturan-aturan ketat atas konser Lady Gaga. Saya jadi membayangkan seandainya negara saya ini punya sikap tegas sejak dulu untuk hal-hal menyangkut kebudayaan dan nilai-nilai. Mungkin semua tidak akan berakhir seperti batalnya konser Lady Gaga ini.

Berikut beberapa kutipan twitter saya menyikapi rusuhnya teman-teman saya di twitter:

‏@Ladyulia

Oh dear, my mother monster cannot come to this country :'( | cc:@ladygaga

‏@Ladyulia

Yang enggak niat nonton konser @ladygaga enggak usah ikutan protes kenapa -_-"

‏@Ladyulia

Kalau niat nonton terus nyalah-nyalahin yang bikin konser@ladygaga batal sih gapapa, ini cuma bisa ikut-ikut manas-manasin timeline doang!

‏@Ladyulia

Enggak usah nyalahin dan ngata-ngatain negara lah atas batalnya konser @ladygaga ,Tau apa sih lo tentang negara ini!

Saya enggak kuat aja ngeliatin timeline twitter saya yang isinya malah kebencian pada negara, saya enggak suka dan sedih membaca makian dari anak bangsa pada negaranya sendiri. Bijaklah dalam menyikapi keadaan, ambil hikmahnya. Mungkin uang konser yang dikembalikan bisa disedekahkan untuk membantu orang yang lebih membutuhkan. Mungkin uang yang kita belikan ke tiket konser Lady Gaga itu sebenarnya hak anak-anak terlantar dan fakir miskin.

By the way, saya suka deh tweet dari Lady Gaga yang bilang:

-There is nothing Holy about hatred.-

Mungkin sebagian orang Indonesia menganggap yang dmaksud hatred itu FPI, tapi buat saya hatred yang sesungguhnya adalah orang yang bisanya cuma memaki-maki saudara, bangsa, dan negaranya di timeline atau jejaring sosial media lainnya.

DAILY HIJAB STYLE - NO PLACE IS MORE CONVENIENT THAN HOME

2012-05-24T20:45:00.001+07:00

Currently I'm in love with vintage mood of photo tone for my photos. It makes me feels more feminine. A warm vintage colours touch my visual in a very smooth and soft ways. Maybe I'm going to get more and more morning sunshine to help me get this tone in my photos. And I think I'm gonna have this photo tone in my photos often because it gives me the warm feeling when seeing the tone.

And yes, I move to new house. Here in Indonesia we call it "kos" or "kost". Kos/kost is a place where people hire a room in a house consist of many rooms, usually for a long time, it could be more than one month, or even years. I move to this house in order to save my energy after class at night. So when my class end at 08.30 pm I just walk home around 10 minutes and knocking at the door to see my lovely room. before I live with my like second family, even it is located at the same area called "East Jakarta" but I needs ages to go to campuss and back home, because of the complicated transportation system at Jakarta. That's why I finally decided to move to other house near to campuss so I can save time and energy to do something else such doing college assignment or what. Eventhough yes you know, there's no place more convenient than home.

2012-05-23T11:26:00.000+07:00

I love the design of Google's logo for today (Wednesday, 23 May 2012). Inspired of Moog Synthesizer created by Robert Arthur Moog or Bob Moog. Today is his 78th birthday. Yeay... happy birthday, Sir :)

Pict from here

The special things of Googl'e logo today is we can play with the logo. Its for real, ladies and gentleman, we do really can play that moog synthesizer. You can click almost every single button on the logo to arrange your music. How cool huh, and the more excited thing is we can record our performance during playing the synthesizer. I love it, eventhough I cannot playing synthesizer hehe, but playing the logo of Goggle today is so much fun. I play it randomly, just following where my hand takes, and then record it, and replay. Fun fun fun.

PictFest at FX Lifestyle Center

2012-05-22T05:56:00.001+07:00

Attending an awesome event held in FX Lifestyle Center, Jakarta named PictFest. Where you can find every floor filled with any kind of photography. So many photography communities such as NatGeo Indonesia, Pinhole, Kamera Pinjaman, Student Photography Organization from Unpad, UI, and so many others was gathered at FX Lifestyle Center from 9 until 10 December, 2011. Too bad I only could come at the last day. Well, eventhough this event held last year. But yes, I don't wanna let them just end up in my computer folder, let me share them here. Better late than never (lame quotes, huh?)

I myself served my curiosity of pinhole camera at the stand of pinhole community. Too bad because I still does not know how long the time ekspossure for each photo with the kind of any available lights, the result of the photos is not good enough. But its okay. I was having fun. I love this event!

Here is some of photography I took at that moment. For my old blogger friends, they know that currently I rarely post my photography. And yes, today I am back :) Here they are, hope you like it.

DAILY HIJAB STYLE - MOVE ON THEN MEET YOUR FUTURE

2012-05-19T09:42:00.000+07:00

As the world spinning round, our life will goes on and on as well. And yes, life will never be waiting for you. You gotta move on or you gotta left behind. It might sound simple, but IT IS NOT THAT SIMPLE. I know exactly, its so easy to say "Oh dear, all you gotta do is move on. All you have to do is forgiven and forgotten". But move on will never be as easy as what people said. We need any adjustment to move on completely. And sometimes, there is no a very complete move on that we made because of human nature which hold on to the feeling very much. Emotion, sense of longing, regret, lotsa question about the past, what if bla,,bla,,bla,, and so many other things relate to human nature that often prevent us to move on.

But, yes back to my very first sentence, we gotta move on or get left behind and died slowly without enjoying the future that might be sweeter than the past. I always agree with quotes saying "everything happen for reason". Yes, I do believe in that quotes very much. As long as I walk away form the past, then I'll find the reason for what happened at my past and the future will always answer my question about past. So, whatever happened yesterday just take it easy eventhough is not as easy peasy lemon squeezy. Because your future has been waiting for you to walk into.

(Move on, satu kata yang sangat mudah diucapkan tapi sangat sulit untuk dipraktekkan. Ada saja hal-hal yang akan menghalangi proses move on yang sedang kita coba untuk jalani. Terutama hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan emosi dan perasaan manusia, seperti misalnya pertanyaan-pertanyaan: kenapa harus saya..., bagaimana kalau seandainya..., lalu perasaan rindu, perasaan nyaman dengan suatu keadaan, tidak mau mengakui kesalahan dan kejelekan, memori masa lalu, dan lain-lain. Padahal semua pertanyaan itu akan terjawab dengan sendirinya ketika kita melangkah maju. Move on itu bukan tentang bagaimana melupakan hari kemarin, move on adalah melangkah maju untuk perlahan menetralisir perasaan tentang hari kemarin. Move on bukan hanya tentang melupakan mantan, tapi meninggalkan kebiasaan buruk. Masa depan sudah menunggu! )

"Now I move on to the future.

Now I walk into future.

Now I'm saying hello to the brighter future!"

WHEN BRIGHT SIDE MEETS THE DARK SIDE - AN EXHIBITION OF INTERNATIONAL POLITICAL ASSASSINATION

2012-05-16T04:57:00.000+07:00

Satu dokumentasi yang bersarang di dalam memori laptop saya. Dokumentasi tentang kunjungan ke salah satu exhibition di Galeri Antara, Jakarta. Sebuah pameran berjudul "Politik Pembunuhan Internasional" oleh Arjan Onderdenwijngaard. Pameran tersebut berlangsung dari tanggal 2 -21 Desember 2011 lalu dalam rangka memperingati hari HAM Internasional dan HUT Kantor Berita Antara ke-74.

Pameran tersebut menampilkan foto-foto korban pembunuhan politik internasional yang telah diolah ke dalam seni grafis dan ditampilkan dalam bentuk kuartet. Sebut saja tokoh-tokoh seperti 4 mahasiswa Trisakti yang menjadi korban dari revolusi reformasi; Pemuka Agama seperti Ali Ibn Abu Thalib, Yesus Kristus, Oscar Romero, dan Swami Saraswati; ikon politik seperti Anne Frank, Mohandas Gandhi, Che Guevara, dan Osama Bin Ladent; pemimpin oposisi seperti Benigno Aquino dan Benazir Bhutto; aktivis HAM seperti Munir Said Thalib, dan lain-lain.

Yang menarik dari pameran tersebut buat saya adalah ketika Arjan Onderdenwijngaard melihat bahwa dari setiap tokoh-tokoh yang ditampilkan secara kuartet tersebut mereka memiliki persamaan. Arjan melihat bahwa tokoh-tokoh tersebut merupakan pahlawan sekaligus penjahat. Untuk sebagian kaum tokoh tersebut adalah pahlawan, sementara untuk kaum yang lain mereka adalah penjahat.

"Semua memiliki dua sisi, cahaya dan gelap - Arjan Onderdenwijngaard"

Kali ini saya tidak mendokumentasikan diri saya, saya hanya ingin mendokumentasikan keadaan.

Itu saja. Selamat menikmati.

(A very interesting photo exhibition in graphic designs by Arjan Onderdenwijngaard at Antara Gallery, Jakarta from December 2-21, 2011. He takes theme about International Political Assassination. He put four of each figure in one form based on their background, for example: four Trisakti students who are being the victims of the reforms revolution in Indonesia; Religious leaders such Ali Ibn Abu Thalib, Yesus Kristus, Oscar Romero, dan Swami Saraswati; political icon such as Anne Frank, Mohandas Gandhi, Che Guevara, and Osama Bin Ladent; human right activist such as Munir Said Thalib, and others. The interesting part from the exhibition for me is when Arjan thought that all the figures is such a hero for some people, and bad people for some others. Every figures has their bright and dark sides. Enjoy)

DAILY HIJAB STYLE - ONE LITTLE HAPPINESS

2012-05-12T14:38:00.000+07:00

Saya selalu suka menjelajahi sudut-sudut di kota ini. Bagaimanapun crowded dan panjangnya antrian salah satu transportasi massal di kota ini, yang sudah menjadi alat transportasi andalan saya setiap bepergian. Di suatu hari, di mana kebetulan kesibukan tidak sedang menyesaki saya, saya memutuskan untuk menjelajah kota untuk mengisi hari and guess what saya menemukan es buah terenak :)

Ya, saya pikir itu adalah es buah paling enak yang pernah saya cicipi. Selain isinya lengkap, harganya juga murah. Hanya dengan Rp 7.000,- tenggorokan saya sudah bisa menikmati segarnya buah-buahan tersebut. Saya menemukan tukang es buah tersebut di kompleks Kantin Wisma Bakrie, di seberang Pasar Festival. Dan yang membuat saya tidak habis pikir adalah bagaimana bisa semangkuk es buah segar mampu membuat saya bahagia sepanjang hari.

Dan oh ya, sepertinya tukang es buah itu hanya berjualan di kompleks Kantin Wisma Bakrie pada hari kerja saja, karena saya pernah mencoba mencari tukang es buah tersebut pada Hari Minggu namun tukang es buah itu tidak berjualan. Jadi, selamat bertualang :)

(I love to travels every points at this big crowded city, and one of my favorurite is trying every culinary that attracted my eyes and my taste. One of my favourite is a bowl of "fruits ice" at Wisma Bakrie Canteen accross the street from "Pasar Festival". It taste super fresh and yummy, and you don't need to spend a bomb on it, only 7.000 rupiahs it is even less than $1. I was so happy with what I found that day. Magic isn't it? It was just a bowl of fresh fruit ice but it could make me feels so happy until the rest of that day. So, come on, go find it!)

RIP BRIAN ANGGA PRATAMA

2012-05-11T14:50:00.002+07:00

Oh my, so sad,,, so sad,, it's a so sad situation :(.

My dearest readers, please forgive me for bringing this gloomy atmosphere to this post. My friends and I, we are in the mourning time. Again, we have to lose our dearest friend, he is Brian Angga Pratama. I knew him when I was in my junior high school. And I know him better for my last two years at senior high school as my classmate. He is kind at heart, funny, and humorous but yes a little bit naughty, you know, boy. This morning my friends post that he's gone at Facebook.

Ah,,, I just can't believe it. I still remember when he took my huge marijuana leaves brooch and pretend that he doesn't know anything when we are at the third grade of senior high school. I wonder whether my brooch still with him or not. After high school, we are not really in a contact. Maybe just two or times when I was working on my final paper to take my bachelor degree, it was about one year ago when I'm on facebook in the middle of the night he will say "Hi Mbak Yul" and asking what am I doing this late. But we are not having a chat for so long, because I gotta focus to my final paper.

The saddest part of his dissappearance is people found his dead body floating inside an old well :( The police estimated he's dead body has been there for over 4 days. And there was a "parang" (huge knife/chopper) tied with him. If you are Indonesian, you can read the complete news here (just click).

Dear God, one by one you took my friends away. It's reminds me of what I've been doing in my life, am I close enough to You, God? All I can pray is You call me in my faith to you, not when I'm doing something else. O' Allah,,, I'm asking Your forgiveness for all the mistake I've made. I'm affraid I'm too far from You, Allah. Dear Allah... please call me back to You in khusnul khatimah way. Amin.

Dear Allah... today I promise to myself that I wanna loves You more and more than before. Please show me the way, Allah. My hand is shaking during typing this post, I am affraid ya Allah. This news and Sukhoi reminds me of how short this life is but people really loves wasting their time for non-sense things in their life. Meanwhile God, I have so many dreams in this life you gives to me, makes my parents and my family proud of me, educate children especially in development countires, growing a small happy family, travel the less taken road, meet faces unknown. I hope you always blessed me and all people believes in You, Allah. I hope in every breath you gives me I can keep You close to my heart and feel that You always close to me, Allah. Amin...

Goodbye forever, Brian, your name, the memory about you insyaAllah will not be forgotten. Have a nice long sleep wherever your soul is. We love you.

Your Friend

LadyuliART - THE SUKHOI IS SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW

2012-05-10T12:36:00.001+07:00

Tadi pagi saya bahagia sekali, hari ini tidak ada kelas dan tidak ada tugas kuliah untuk besok. Kemudian saya memutuskan untuk main-main di Twitterland. Asyik bermain, mata saya tertumbuk pada world trending topic: "Sukhoi". Kenapa ada di WTT? Iseng saya klik dan ah,,, mood saya langsung tidak enak, sibuk membayangkan ini itu. Bayangkan saja, bahkan ada salah satu penumpang, seorang reporter di salah satu stasiun televisi yang baru pertama kali naik pesawat, tapi sudah mendapat cobaan seperti ini :(.

Dari berbagai berita yang saya baca pesawat Sukhoi buatan Rusia yang biasanya berfokus pada produksi pesawat tempur itu baru saja akan mempromosikan jenis pesawat penumpang baru rancangan mereka untuk dijual ke negara-negara di Asia. Ketika lepas landas untuk uji coba di Indonesia, pesawat ini tiba-tiba menghilang setelah meminta izin untuk merubah ketinggian terbang pesawat di sekitar Gunung Salak. Mungkin untuk berita lengkapnya kalian bisa mencari di website-website berita terpercaya. Jujur saya takut salah memberi informasi, karena berita ini sensitif sekali. Kabar terakhir yang saya baca siang ini, Tim SAR baru melihat puing-puing yang diduga merupakan puing dari pesawat Sukhoi di lereng Gunung Salak dan agak sulit untuk menjangkau daerah tersebut dari darat :(.

Tidak banyak yang bisa saya lakukan. Saya hanya bisa turut mendoakan semua penumpang beserta keluarga. Here, I draw this picture for them.

(This morning I feel so happy because I have no class for today and no assignment for tomorrow. That was just a second until I click world trending topic on twitter about Sukhoi. For more information about this Sukhoi, you can search on your favourite news websites. I am too afraid to explain myself about the news, what if I spread wrong news. So, here I only can send all prayer for the passengers and their families :( )

Hari ini adik kecil saya berulang tahun yang ke 21.

Meskipun usianya sudah tidak kecil lagi tapi buat saya dia tetap adik kecil saya

Adik kecil yang selalu saya goda biar tertawa

Adik kecil yang selalu saya goda sampai menangis.

Adik kecil yang selalu saya goda sampai terbangun.

Adik kecil yang selalu saya goda agar ia tak jadi tidur.

Selalu ada alasan untuk menggoda adik kecil saya karena saya suka bermain dengannya.

Usia kami tidak terpaut jauh, hanya dua tahun.

Tapi adik kecil saya ini jauh lebih mature daripada saya.

Hehehe. It's okay, karena kami selalu saling melengkapi :)

InsyaAllah sebentar lagi Mei akan berangkat ke Korea melanjutkan studi S1 nya.

Aih, selamat ya Adik Kecil. Uni bangga punya adik seperti kamu!

Selalu Uni doakan yang terbaik untuk kamu, Meiliza Fitri.

♥ SELAMAT ULANG TAHUN ADIK KECIL ♥

DAILY HIJAB STYLE - LADY WITH THE BRAID

2012-04-24T13:46:00.000+07:00

Hi all!

Did I tell you that I moved to Jakarta?

Yes, after finished my college at Andalas University, I decided to continue my study to master degree level. But people says my current major is totally different with my major before. Before I was majoring Human Resource Management, now I change my life direction and majoring Early Childhood Education at the Jakarta State University. And if I am lucky I will continue my double master degree at Ohio State University next year.

Everyone who know last major will asked me surprisingly abot my reason taking Early Childhood Education for my master degree. I myself doesn't have specific reason about why I change my life direction. People may seems Human Resource Management is totally different with Early Childhood Education. But I think it is NOT! Let's think, Human Resource Management is about managing (planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling) "big" people. Human Resource Management is all about managing "mature" people. Now, I ask you, where does this "big" people, these "big kid" comes from? Of course from little boys and girls, right? And I believe, in order to get the right person on a right place as what Human Resource Management says, we need to teach every children in a right way. Trust me, if children got the best education in their early ages (0-8 years) they will definetely growing up as "the right man" for every places they go.

Too bad, in Indonesia Early Childhood Education known and spread starts from year 2000. That is why we got so many bad educated man in our governmental. They all learn alot, having high education, but they have no strong kindness roots in them. And too sad, this major still considered as "unpopular" major to learn about in Indonesia. Only certain people who have realized the importance of Early Childhood Education. Meanwhile, Japan, USA, Australia, and so many others developed country has realized the importance of education for early children so long ago. I hope God bless my choice, and show me the best way to catch my dream to educate children and their parents in the right way. Amin.

Here is my random daily hijab style. Do you think I have a face of Early Childhood educator? Heheh. FYI, since I came to Jakarta I got freedom to dressed up as much as I want. Because people here does not really concern about others if its none of their business. Meanwhile at Padang, West Sumatera, where I lived before, people there really concern about other people. People there especially around my house, I think they are a little bit petty minded. They loves gossipping about neighboors and something like that. That is why I can't express my self as free as I am here in Jakarta. I am just tried to keep simple when dressing in order to avoid any bullshit about my daily hijab style. Remember, we can be as stylish as we want but I believe that being fashionable does not mean we can be an egoist person.

KARTINI - A BED TIME STORY

2012-04-21T23:17:00.002+07:00

HAPPY KARTINI DAY, INDONESIAN WOMEN!

Well, gue mau cerita-cerita dikit. Sengaja banyakin bahasa Indonesia. Karena postingan ini tuh spesial buat wanita Indonesia. Spesial buat bibit-bibit Kartini di Indonesia. Enggak usah lah ya cerita tentang kebaya-kebayaan dan konde-kondean ala Ibu Kartini. I prefer to post something really really important for women. Terutama buat wanita Indonesia, karena menghormati dan mengagumi Ibu Kartini itu bukan cuma kebaya-kebayaan. Banyak hal-hal lain yang lebih "Kartini" daripada sekedar lomba kebaya Kartini. Kalau lo setuju, silahkan lanjutin baca postingan ini. Kalau enggak silahkan lanjutkan juga, siapa tahu pintu hati lo bisa dibukakan Tuhan Yang Maha Esa.

Kalau dulu Ibu Kartini menyebarkan kenaikan buat wanita lewat surat, nah kalau gue pake postingan blog dong. Hehe. Postingan kali ini tuh tentang hal kecil yang sebenarnya berarti sangat besar untuk kehidupan para wanita di muka bumi. Terutama buat wanita-wanita Indonesia yang masih labil seperti gue. Yang masih sangat rentan terhadap iklan-iklan produk kecantikan dan hal-hal seperti itu.

Well, here is where the story begins. Setiap hari teman gue yang orang Korea selalu nanyain hal yang sama tiap dia ketemu gue. Kira-kira pernyataan dan pertanyaan dia selalu seperti ini:

"Yulia, aaa cantiiik!"

"Aaaaa, Yulia kamu cantiiik!"

"Yulia, kenapa kamu cantik?"

"Yulia, kenapa setiap hari cantik?"

"Oooo, Yulia kamu ..."

Kebayang enggak sih gimana rasanya dibilang cantik sama orang Korea, yang padahal bikin gue setengah mati sama kecantikan mereka. Awalnya gue mesem-mesem aja, senyum-senyum kecil, ketawa lebar, sampai gigit-gigit bantal dan cuma bilang "Gomawo!" yang artinya terima kasih (in case you don't know) atau terkadang dengan tambahan. "Thanks, lo juga cantik!"

Sampai akhirnya disuatu pagi temen gue ini lagi masak-masak cantik di pantry, terus gue pamitan sama dia mau ke kampus, dan again hari itu dia nanya, "Aaa, Yulia. Kamu selalu cantik. Kenapa?". Dan tiba-tiba entah dapet ilham dari mana, gue baru dapat jawabannya. Untuk pertanyaan yang sama yang selalu ditanyain temen gue itu. Satu kalimat simpel, yang punya makna super dalam buat makhluk ciptaan Tuhan yang paling seksi a.k.a wanita. Jadi, pagi itu dengan super diplomatis dan dalam gerakan slow motion membuka pintu, gue jawab: "Karena saya wanita." Temen gue itu tertawa dan membenarkan pernyataan gue sambil acung-acung jempol.

Dan seharian itu gue mendadak benar-benar feels like real woman. Sekarang gini aja deh, I know enggak semua kita cecewek Indonesia diciptain kayak-kayak Pevita Pearce. Yang mau difoto pake gaya melet, merem, atau gaya apapun tetep bakal luar biasa lucu. Tapi percaya deh, cantik itu masalah persepsi aja sih kalau kata gue. Selama elo bikin persepsi diri lo jelek. Ya udahlah ya, kalau lo sendiri udah bilang diri lo jelek, jangan harap ya orang lain mau menganggap lo cantik. Pokoknya kamu cantik, cantik, cantik!!!

Here is the tips to feel beautifully flawless:

Ngaca deh and touch yourself. Let you know about yourself per inch of them, jangan cuma tahunya ah hidung gue asimetris, ah pipi gue chubby, ah mata gue gede sebelah, dan lain-lain, dan LAIN-LAIN. Dengan ngaca up to toe dan berani untuk menyentuh diri kamu kayak gitu, kamu bakal cinta dan kagum salah satu dari sekian banyak ciptaan Tuhan,yaitu diri kamu. Trust me. Dan satu lagi, Tuhan enggak nyiptain kamu begitu adanya tanpa alasan.
Mingle, cantik is not just about flawless skin, rambut kayak model iklan shampoo, dan hal-hal absurd seperti itu. Coba deh kalau lo bergaul, punya banyak temen, minimal ada yang negur kalau lo lagi jalan, itu rasanya cantik banget tau enggah sih. Atau ketika elo nolongin orang, dan lihat orang lain tersenyum itu, percaya sama gue, elo pasti ngerasa cantiiik banget! Try!
Sediain 'ME TIME" yang banyak buat diri lo. Have fun ngelakuin apa aja dan cuma ada kamu. Mau luluran kek, dengerin kotak musik, naik komedi putar, makan lollipop, ke salon, ngerawat diri, traktir diri lo sesuatu, baca buku, masak, beresin kamar, ke kebun binatang. Try to solve your problem yourself. Try to know yourself. Ask yourself, how deep is your love to yourself? Dan perasaan cantik itu bakal datang dengan sendirinya.
Dan kalau elo masih belum merasa cantik juga, hal terakhir yang bisa elo lakuin kalau kata gue sih berdoalah sebanyak-banyak kepada Tuhan YME. Bukan, bukan doa biar kulit lo mendadak jadi putih, bukan doa biar hidung lo jadi mancung. Tapi doa biar Tuhan mengampuni dosa-dosa lo.

SELAMAT HARI KARTINI!

SEMUA WANITA CANTIK.

KALAU FAKTA MENUNJUKKAN KALIAN WANITA.

ITU ARTINYA KALIAN CANTIK!!!

SEKIAN :)

DAILY HIJAB STYLE - A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF HAREM PANTS

2012-04-11T07:21:00.001+07:00

Hello People! I am currently in love with fashion things called harem pants, or here in Indonesia mostly said as Aladdin Pants at its first time came to my country. Harem makes me feel more comfortable. And I love the way my friends calls me, everytime I wear any harem pants, Jasmine. And then they will singing "A Whole New World" song, the original soundtrack for Aladdin movie every single time they pass in front of me. Hehe. But yes, you can't just waer harem pants like when you are wearing your jeans. You need to make some adjustment to your upper outfit and your feet, because harem can instantly cut your torso and create a short siluet to your body. Well maybe it's okay if you got height like catwalk candies, but if you are someone with average height it could be seriously dangerous. Here some of my tips if you are going to use harem pants:

How to use harem pants:

Tuck your shirt/tee/upper outfits right into your harem pants.
Its okay if you are wearing long upper outfits and do not want to tuck it into your harem pants, but please create shape to your body by using belt.
It will be much better if you wear harem pants with gladiator sandals, wedges, pumps, or aladdin sandals. Flats shoes sometime also can shorten your torso, except if your flat is open toe.
Choose the right harem pants for yourself, there are so many kinds of harem pants outside there, and not every single of them is fit on you, except (again) you got the height like catwalk candies.
If you wear veil or any accessories, watch the way you wear them. It can be create a short siluet to your body.

CHEF LADYULIA - MASHED POTATOES WITH CHEESE

2012-04-06T12:32:00.001+07:00

Hello, Lovelies! Long time no see.

Now I'm back, cleaning this blog form dusty after neglected for almost one month,

and post something new at this blog. Hope you like it!

Currently, I live in a boarding house since I continue my study at Jakarta State University. From now on I will share about foods I cooked for breakfast and lunch. And I also will share the recipe in case you wanna help yourself and cook something. FYI, I am newbie in cooking, but I have to because there's a pantry in my boarding house. Before, I don't like cooking at all, the only activities I did related to cooking is just helping my mom cutting something in the kitchen and then watching her finish the rest. But, Thank God now surprisingly I'm officially in love with cooking. ♥♥♥

Here is my very first recipe, that i am going to share with you.

I call all my recipes with "resep masakan anak kos" (food recipes for boarding student).

I created it based on what I watch in my mom's kitchen.

Mom loves to cook mashed potatoes, but in order to make variation, I mix the potatoes with carrot. Surprisingly it add sweet taste to my mashed potatoes. And because I love cheese, I put sheved cheese on top. And the taste is two times better. Try it! It's so easy, lovelies :)

And this is it "mashed potatoes with cheese" a la Chef Ladyulia:

Here is the recipe and how to cook the food "Mashed Potatoes with Cheese":

♥ Recipe:
1 large potato, boiled until tender, remove skin and blend.
1 medium carrot, finely shaved/ chopped.
1 eggs, take the white
1 stalk spring onion, finely chopped
2 spring onions, finely chopped
kitchen cheese
salt
White pepper powder
butter
Cooking Oil

♥ How to cook:
1.Fry leek and onion with the butter. After the yellow lift.
2.Mix all the ingredients add salt and white pepper for better taste.
3.Shape the batter based on your creation, divide it into 6.
4.Heat the oil, dip the batter which is molded into the egg white, cooking over low heat until the color looks like gold.
5.Serve the food with cheese on top.

For the 6 Mashed Potatoes with Cheese.

Goodluck with your mashed potatoes with cheese ;)

DAILY HIJAB STYLE - LA SARDINA CAMERA

2012-03-07T08:20:00.000+07:00

Have you ever heard about lomography? If you haven't heard before, it's time to educate yourself. Whether you are a professional photographer or a self-confessed newbie, because everyone can be a lomographer.

It began with a fateful encounter in the early 1990s, when two students in Vienna, Austria, stumbled upon the Lomo Kompakt Automat - a small, enigmatic Russian camera. Mindlessly taking shots from the hip, and sometimes looking through the viewfinder, they were astounded with the mindblowing photos that it produced - the colours were vibrant, with deep saturation and vignettes that framed the shot - it was nothing like they had seen before. Upon returning home, friends wanted their own Lomo LC-A, igniting a new style of artistic experimental photography that we know as lomography.

These rules define Lomography's philosophy and approach towards photography. Recite them, or break all the rules – whichever way, be ready to throw all your inhibitions about photography to the wind!

Take your camera everywhere you go
Use it any time – day and night
Lomography is not an interference in your life, but part of it
Try the shot from the hip
Approach the objects of your Lomographic desire as close as possible
Don't think, just shoot (William Firebrace)
Be fast
You don't have to know beforehand what you captured on film
Afterwards either
Don't worry about any rules

And yes, here I am. I want a kind of the newest lomo camera, La Sardina camera. I am so in love with La Sardina - Bettle Starr camera. Oh, God I want this camera so much. Unfortunately it is not available yet in my country. What has already available at Lomo Embassy in Indonesia is La Sardina made from plastic. I want La Sardina camera made from Metal.

I want it, I want it, I want it!

I draw a picture of my friend, Yahya Kurnia Ramadhan. He asked me to draw about him right after I draw this for his friend. He is my senior at photography. I frequently ask him to teach me some method in photography editing. He is also like a brother for me. I share the story about my life, my boyfriend, college, and others to him. He is a good listener for such a story teller like me :)

Here I draw him and Eiffel Tower. He said to me that he wanna go to Paris someday. To capture the beautifulness of that city. So, what do you think people? How do you like it? FYI, I am very pleased to receive any comments, critics, and suggestions abot my drawing.

DAILY HIJAB STYLE - BRING MY AVRIL LAVIGNE BACK!

2012-03-03T07:58:00.000+07:00

I googled many things and then I surprisingly end up with Avril Lavigne looks in her video clip - Goodbye. I heart Avril Lavigne since her first album because I loves her skater girl style. At my age that time ( I was just in junior high school), her style was super cool. Because yes for your information I am a tomboy girl before (too bad I can't show you any photos, but I have one at my teenage diary. I'll show you my tomboy style someday). I used boys t-shirt, big boys baggy jeans, studded bracelets and others boys things. I have every girls stuff, pinky lala things, such as skirt, fitted jeans, girls t-shirt, dress, every girls stuff. That is why when Avril showing up at the music industry I become her huge fans. That time for me Avril Lavigne has an awesome fashion style yet a super fancy album through her music. And yes, I also learned to play skate board a little because of Avril Lavigne. LOL.

And then after Avril fabulous album, she is a little bit vacuuming from the music industry if I'm not in mistaken or I am who is a little bit vacuming from watching how the music industry growing up? And then suddenly my Avril Lavigne came up more girly with pink tutu skirt and hair adds-on. Also I heard that Avril Lavigne has her own clothing line. I love the way she combined her skater looks with girls things. Such a sweet skater girl.

But this time, in this Goodbye video clip Avril Lavigne totally looks different. I start thinking that Avril changed herself become more girly because of her boyfriend become her husband, Deryck Whibley, you know people changes alot when they are in love right? But unfortunately they are divorced. Well it is just my interpretation from Avril's Goodbye video. Because at the end of the clip Avril open her blonde curly wig and shows her real hair. I can see the old Avril Lavigne that I adore so much long time ago. Well whatever the meaning of her video, I pray the best for her. Here's the video:

And this is my another random hijab daily style to go somewhere. A little bit rockin' isn't it?
