Super Tiny House

I fell in love with this house instantly.

On Bad Times, Remember This:

And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that addresses you as sons:
"My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline,
and do not lose heart when he rebukes you,
because the Lord disciplines those he loves,
and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son."

Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. Therefore, strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. "Make level paths for your feet," so that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.

-Hebrews 12

dream car, oh yeah

Yes, God already decides on your life

He made it all easier.

As I told in the earlier post, I am applying for THE programm held by my faculty. Yea, I get the shot. Well, I past the first phase of selection and I get to do the interview tomorrow.

Unfortunately, my father couldn't support the fundings (as the school only would support in a very little amount, and I really mean it on th little part) so when I got the first email from my lecturer that I am qualified to be one of the participant, I am so bummed out. So I hang my hopes up there, cause I still wished I could go somewhere else :D

Earlier today, I was diagnosed with typhus (I am not really sure which is the right way to write it). And so, I needed a bed rest. So again, when I got another email telling me that I passed the first phase and the committee would like to do an interview with me, I blanked. Gee. I am selected as the big18. Yea, but I can't came.

So there I go, letting go :) well, here I AM, letting go.

PS: my gut is so damn right, the optimism and the dragging me down thing haha

Excited Anxious and Going Crazy

Yea, that's kinda how I feel about this thing.
I'm applying for a 12-day collaboration design studio at Germany held by my faculty. And it's really making me excited and anxious, at the same time. It's getting on my nerves....

I had re-do my portfolio in a simpler nicer way. And also it contains new projects. It's so good. I got a good feeling about this but at the same time something is dragging me down. But hey, I'm holding on :)

Since I had it in my mind almost all the time, one night I dreamt about it. It was so intense. Going to the interviews, meeting my lecturer, and so on. And in my dream, I got the chance to go :)

*crossing fingers*

Today should bring some update news about the program. Hope it's a good thing :) Wish me luck!

Site Hopping

These couple days I've been hopping around these sites, and I think you should too!

• Design Sponge
• Lovely Undergrad
• Tiny Ass Apartment
• Apartment Therapy

At first, I was just looking through pictures, but I just can't get enough of 'em :)

The Girl

I've finished reading the book a couple days ago and I've just watched the movie a couple hours ago. So much for curiousity, eh?

I watched the movie because I am really curious how the book would be portrayed. The book is sooooo amazing. Well, the plot is rather slow at the beginning through half-part of the book, I think that's why those part was not in the movie so much either. Anyways, I get soooo excited reading through the end, because the book elaborates the "detective mode" very nicely. Very clear. Very smart. Stieg Larsson is one MAN! The movie, well, disappoint me quite enough since there are I think important part that is missing. The detective mode.

The book gives the thriller sense on the story, but in my opinion the film is not so thrilling (compared to the book). But I should give credits to the actors who portrays the characters. The acting is sooooo nice, believable and at one point I was thinking "Damn, he really looks like a sex addict" on this one supporting character who is a sex-addict-rapist-cruel-man.

So, I'm giving the book a 4.5 out of 5 stars (just because it bores me at the beginning :p but managed to excite me through the end) and a 3 out of 5 stars (because it was too short :p but still got great actors). I recommend you to read the book. It's a really nice book, and relatively cheap in Indonesia. :)

PS: I already bought the second series on the trilogy, "The Girl Who Played With Fire". Yes, it's a trilogy.

Miss-erable

Oh, how I so much miss this place. This is my old room in Bandung.

I miss the feeling of solitude being there. All the 10-am-waking-up, eating McDonald's delieveries, watching TV all day, making paper models.

This is how I met you, and how I left you. Empty.

3Dimension

A couple days ago, I came across a tutorial on how to make your own anaglyph image from here.

So I went on create my own anaglyph image andddd also my own "3d Glasses"

It's fun though creating both of them..

try yourself here

should I see you again this summer?

seeing yourself in somebody else

I just realize that when we think about something on ourself, sometimes there are a lot of things we missed. Now that I realize this one thing, I am very gratefull.

When we think on ourselves, do our own introspections, there are some things we missed, we are caught up in our own minds.

But I find it when we talk about our introspections with other people, sometimes it was not the other person who brings up the true of ourselves, but we came to realize it by ourselves. maybe sometimes it is better to talk with ourselves through a media. for me, I have two things as the media, other people and writings..

hmm..

I hope by this, everything will be better..

oh maybe you could read this as an inspiration

BIRTHDAY WISH!

I know it's still in two months...

well.. I hope I got good grades on 2nd Final Project Preview Session

but, for the gift..

can I have this dad? :D

something called

lately, I have become so sensitive.

first to blame, PMS. a phenomenon that I never understand and mostly unable to solve.

false blame?

maybe, I just got too much of things in my mind and no balance in my heart?

or maybe, I just asked too much?

or maybe, I just don't get what I deserve?

or maybe, I am being normal and people are being insensitive?

or maybe,.... I don't know...

then I come across Reytia's post on this, then I have this thought.

everyone of us wants to be understand. obviously.

but every one of us has to big of something called ego.

and when no one would turn down the ego,

the world ends.

maybe, take a deep breath. exhale.

let's try to turn down ego.

Pieces

that one day I woke up

take a nice shower

and wear my best shirt

and walk with proud

yet one thing seems to fall

and other seems to follow

but it never came across my mind

that it was a sign

at the end of the day

everything falls apart

my best shirt still be the best

but I fall apart

I need something that works, perché sono impaurito.

Ma manterrò appena sulla prova.

Seeing Double

a couple days ago, before I went to campus, I was picking up some clothes to be worn to campus and my eyes fell to my soft pink sweater top that the last time I wore it was way back in 2006. It was short (at the waist) and my comfy pants was on laundry so I wore my other jeans which is hipster type and to avoid undergarments exhibition due to the hipster type pants, I wore a black long top underneath the sweater. something casual, but I thought it was something that no one would wear.

Laras and I agreed to meet up at around 12 or later at campus. when she arrived, she came up to me and I was shock because she was wearing the same style of clothing I was wearing, the same shoulder bag type, and the same white/off white canvas slip on shoes. Fortunately, the clothes were in different color. I laughed.

so how did we end up wearing the same style? I don't know.
not a big deal.
when she asked me to accompany her to accompany a friend's friend to a tour around the campus, I was being a little worried. we would be like two people matching each other having a tour around the campus, but what the hell. I prefer that than sitting doing nothing.

so how did we dress up?

this is how we do it!

happy new year everyone!

Defending My Holga

okay, so I went home early from final-crappy-studio-days from stomachache and decided to join my boyfriend and his friends for a lunch/snack, batagor. Very smart decision. I ended up being in the bathroom -if you know what I mean- for quite a time.

and after that, a big relieve. Misery doesn't stop. My senior/friend, Pierre set his Yahoo! Messenger status to "Lomo?! Yeah right.. I got photoshop right here.." It tickles. I nearly got my stomachache back, and I don't want to. So I im-ed him. Telling him blablabla about my wonderful lomos. And he "offered" to edit a photo to make it like my holga's. Hmm..

and it goes like this
my Holga

his digital Holga

and another one
my Holga

his digital Holga

and so we ended up being in a stupid argument defending our lomo. hahaha..

naaaaaah...my so-you-called-it-no-skill-needed-more-expensive-but-portable-lomo is way cooler than yours hahahaha...

ps: somebody please support me?!

Kampus Ajaib

Hari ini saya dan teman-teman sekelompok tugas berencana mengerjakan tugas. Tugas apa? Utilitas Bangunan. Saya dan teman-teman kebagian mengamati utilitas di Perpustakaan Pusat ITB. Saya kebagian mengamati sistem elektrikal. Hemm.. Lumayan dapet blue print gedung dari petugas di sana, jadi tinggal liat livenya aja deh..

Tapi.. Saya tidak akan membahas tugas.. Udah lama banget saya ga ke perpus pusat. Pas mau ketemu teknisi gedung, saya melewati ruang koleksi dan meja-meja (yang harusnya jadi) tempat baca. Dan saya menemukan ini..

Objek penglihatan: Meja belajar Perpustakaan
Asumsi berdasarkan penglihatan: Dasar (Anak) ITB. Kelakuannya ada-ada aja. Iya iya tau.. Jangan corat coret!

Pas lagi jalan balik ke gedung Arsitektur, melewati Labtek Farmasi, dan saya menemukan ini...

Objek penglihatan: Atap Labtek Farmasi dengan tambahan keset yang sudah berlumut dan tumbuh tanaman (?)
Asumsi berdasarkan penglihatan:

1. Karena talang di atas atap corrugated metal sheet ini bocor, akhirnya air yang bocor dari talang menimbulkan bunyi-bunyi dan mengganggu di ruang bawahnya. Penyelesaiannya adalah dengan melemparkan keset ke daerah tetesan talang. "UPS! Meleset! Susah nih ngambilnya. Yaudah deh..."
2. "Jemur keset di sini kayanya enak nih.. Moga-moga cepet kering deh... "

Sekian. No Offense. Saya tetap cinta kampus saya.. Hahaha..
Sehari ngepost brapa kali ini gua. Hahaha..

Cutie Little Girl

I was Google-ing pictures in search for ideas for my school work with key word "school walkways". Somehow these girls with cute girl poses came up as results.. Google can be funny sometimes...

I'm a Red Koala!!

You are Red Koala who is cheerful and happy person.
You are friendly to every one, but at the same time, you are a person who doesn't want to lose, and are strong person.
You also have a very emotional side, and can not turn down favors.

You act like a big sister to every body.
You are a type of person who takes things too seriously.
You can get heated up on something, yet can quickly lose interest.
You are very sensitive to trends, but have a tendency not being able to use that advantage.

You are very passionate and emotional person.
You have lots of likes and dislikes.
You tend to act on emotional spur than by reason, and can be very nervous.
You also worry great deal, and therefore sometimes end up not being able to exhibit your talent.
You have natural instinct, and are good negotiator.

You will say things in straight forward manner, and although you tend to be a rational person, people often misunderstand you as being selfish.
This is because your ideas cover too wide aspect, and do not know where to stop.
To use this unique talent, you should find someone who is wise enough to understand and realize you.
He will lead you and draw out your talent to its greatest.

You should always try to train mentally and physically.
If you can make use of your personal interest, you may find a side of yourself, you didn't realize before.
After marriage, you will keep the house secure for your husband, and at the same time keep your own career.

mostly true, anyone agree with me?!

Cat-women Jaman Sekarang

ada apakah dengan wanita dan kucing?
wanita takut kucing, lagi jaman kah? atau emang berlebihan aja tingkah wanita-wanita ini?

saya merujuk pada wanita-wanita yang bereaksi pada kucing dengan:

1. menjauh dengan manuver muter-muterin ngumpet di belakang temennya
   
2. tereak-tereak "kyaa..kyaa kucing!! heeuuu usirin doong.." (padahal kucingnya diem dengan jarak 1 meter lebih dari wanita itu)
3. memukul atau melakukan perbuatan fisik pada kucing (misalnya: menendang, menggebuk kucing dengan sepatu atau sendal, nendang-nendang angin gaya ngusir kucing,dan lain-lain) padahal kucingnya cuma lewat aja
4. dan masih banyak lagi

yaelaah kucingnya cuma jalan ke arah lo.. cuma lewat doang.. santai aja kali.. kalo lewat bawah kursi lo, angkat aja kaki lo.. kalo dia berjalan mendekati lo, pergi aja menjauh.. gak usah pake ribut, gak usah pake heboh, gak usah muter-muter kaya bus manuver di jalan sempit.. beneran deh..

gapapa deh klo kaget tiba-tiba ada yang ngelus kaki lo.. trus ya abis itu tenang aje.. kalo gw jadi kucingnya gw godain deh lo.. hahaha...

A Comeback, Reunion, Nostalgia?

hemm... beberapa waktu belakangan rasanya artis-artis masa dahulu mulai kembali ke permukaan.. like it's the time for a comeback or maybe.. a reunion?
bukaan.. bukan reuni SMA atau SMP atau nostalgia.. well... tapi sebuah comeback memang memunculkan nostalgia.. sialnya atau untungnya saya hidup di jaman MTV. kepala tidak jauh-jauh dari lagu-lagu dan artis-artis yang eksis di channel anak muda ini hahaha..

kira-kira ini beberapa comeback/reunion yang menarik perhatian saya..

beberapa bulan yang lalu New Kids On The Block, boyband jaman kakak saya ngempeng, mengeluarkan single (atau bahkan sudah album saya ketinggalan berita). Summertime. dengan video klip yang udah jaman sekarang, muka yang hemm-antara-ya-dan-tidak-termakan-waktu.. ya karena jaman beda tapi orang sama jadi agak-agak gimanaaa gitu..

Britney Spears, setelah jatuh-bangun-jatuh-bangun ga tau berapa kali di hidupnya beberapa tahun belakangan ini, akhirnya bener-bener make a comeback. kalo yang ini udah jamannya gw ngerti-ngerti TV.. so i could say it's a comeback. tadi gw nonton video klipnya yang baru, Womanizer, di official sitenya. hemm... it's the britney i once saw before. comebacknya berhasil (semoga)..

dan yang paling gw bkin gw shock hari ini. BOYZONE. hahaha.. gile deh ini band. boy band maksud sayah. masanya Mas Ronan Keating. cukup berjaya sampai akhir 90-an. yeah, they're back. yah.. berasa abang gw ngeliat new kids on the block lah ketika gw liat cuplikan videonya Boyzone yang baru.. takjub lah! blm dengar gimana-gimana lagunya sih.. we'll wait and see..

jadi inget dulu..
(sayangnya saya melewatkan masa-masa NKOTB)

Boyzone. paling merasuki saat kelas 3 SD. kakak gw yg punya kasetnya (hahah iya jamannya kaset, CD terlalu out of reach buat anak SD). trus gw apalin lagunya, teksnya gw bawa ke sekolah buat nyanyi bareng temen-temen cowo gw. anak SD tingkahnya ckckck...

kelas 6-6 SD, Britney nge-hits dengan Oops! I Did It Again. pop princess, king princess, boyband, girlband, dan band-band lainnya pokoknya belantika musik MTV lagi padet banget sama anak-anak muda ini. kekonyolan gw dan teman-teman gw, memakai nama artis-artis itu sebagai nama belakang gaul kita hahaha. well, gw mengambil personil dawson's creek sih... haha.. Irene Lindley diambil dr Jennifer Lindley (Michelle Williams). tapi adalah temen gw yg ambil ____ Spears Martin, ____ Holmes, dll. Pasaran yang berhasil ternyata..

the moffatts reunion lagi ga ya? oh i miss those times..

Attempts On Grogi

ada sekitar empat puluh foto yang menanti untuk disortir dan discan!
yeay! baru saja mencetak makanan Grogi! yeay yeay! tidak sabar!
tapi harus sabar..

This Song

hemm.. kalau emang hati punya maksud buat nyampein sesuatu, emang paling nancep-cep dan ngena-na klo emang kata-nya aja langsung diucapin.. kaya lagunya Potret yang sepanjang lagu cuma ngulang kata-kata "I Just Want To Say I Love You"

ya emang itu yang pengen disampein dari lagu ini (kayanya). klo John Mayer sampe panjang-panjang bikin lirik buat Say ("Say what you need to say..") supaya kita lakuin apa yang pengen kita lakuin.. yaudahlah.. sama Melly langsung hajar bleh! hahaha..

jadi my frenn.. say it say it aja deh!

Gila Nostalgia

ada satu hal yang bikin gw agak sedih di mudik tahun ini. ada hubungannya dengan pohon-pohon. ada hubunganya dengan tanah kosong. dan ada hubungannya dengan bangunan baru. tp rasanya terlalu tinggi klo gw membahas go green.

ketika gw kecil dan sampai mungkin ketika gw sudah mulai SMP (pelupa) gw sangat menikmati pemandangan hutan dengan deretan pohon karet yang melengkung ke satu arah dalam perjalanan menuju rumah eyang gw..

mulai beberapa tahun yang lalu, pohon-pohon itu lama-lama berkurang.. berganti dengan pelebaran jalan aspal, perumahan baru.. tahun ini.. semakin berkurang.. malah dibangun beberapa kios-kios kayu yang tidak jelas yang bahkan ada beberapa yang disegel dengan pita kuning-hitam milik yang berwenang.. sayang sekali gw ga punya foto untuk membandingkan dulu-sekarang..

ini foto sekarang. dibelakangnya adalah daerah industri kota baru ini.

sisi positifnya, jalan menuju rumah eyang gw tidak lagi segelap itu. daerah dekat hutan karet itu tidak lagi segelap dan semesum dulu (hah. padahal dulu gw mana ngerti, cuma ngerti gelap dan serem).. dan eventually, daerah itu akan menjadi kota baru, kota baru dari semarang. setidaknya mengurangi kepadatan semarang. hopefully.

eits. tunggu. gw bukan ingin mengeluhkan kurang ruang terbuka hijau, daerah serapan, hutan kota atau apapun. gw adalah orang yang gila nostalgia. bukan berarti gw hidup dengan masa lalu (well, we live with our past behind us). hanya saja ada hal-hal tertentu yang dirindukan. (that's why i think a diary is a great thing, remembering old times and memories). dulu, gw sangat menikmati deretan pohon-pohon itu.. sekarang, tinggal secuil deretan pohon yang bisa gw lihat. sekalipun deretan panjang, belakangnya sudah kelihatan rumah-rumah 2 lantai atau daerah industri dengan pabrik-pabrik.. thank God, we have a built in memory to remember all that.. hehe..

huuh.. untungnya langit masih biru.. masih bisa menemaniku dalam perjalanan panjang menuju rumah eyang..

a piece of yesterday

cuma sepenggal kisah kemarin.. menemukannya teronggok di notes smartphone.. so here it is, for yesterday's history shaping a stronger me.. hahaha..mengenang masa lalu itu menyenangkan hahaha..

"i wish you could just hear what my heart has to say

it screams and you never took a chance to hear

silently i whisper and you went deaf

loudly i scream and you walk away

alone i feel and you came back

it's your ambiguous act getting me mislead

i need an ending to this endless feeling

but i don't know how

i couldn't keep on holding on, though i would

cause it's a small world after all

and everywhere i run

i'll run to you again"

hahaha

why do you have to give me that stare?

do you think it could make me think twice,

and go back to times where it melted me?

now i don't care if you won't ever know how i felt

i am sorry sir..

i am not going back
