By cake, i mean face powder and foundation. These girls like to cake their faces! Just went to the laundry and saw five caked-faces. That's many because the distance from my flat to laundrette room is a mere 40m or so. I am guilty of caking my face as well, especially during choir days. But here, a lot of them cake their faces on daily basis. It's freaking jersey shore but it's offshore...5.403.4km apart... Some do look pretty and natural and glamorous... But there are some whom just put way too much you can tell her real face is buried 5cm underneath all the products. I'm not saying I look better than cake-faced girls, just saying they look a bit...hmm...unconventional. On not so related note. I haven't made any British Tea Time post with real cakes, have I? Will do soon.

I made a post about this manga, Otoyomegatari, some time ago. It mainly about a super sensei mangaka named Kaoru Mori. She has some SICK expertise on drawing manga details. Loud Pictures Found youtube videos where she just sat there, drawing pictures. Blows my freakin mind. And she draws that pretty details with pretty nails. MASTER. Well. I'm no computer experts, but I'm pretty sure it can't draw like that.

During my youtube hour of the day, I found this cute song. To me, it sounds like a heartfelt tune of a teenager. Falling in love for the first time. :) Trouble - by Never Shout Never I'm in trouble I'm an addict I'm addicted to this girl She's got my heart tied in a knot And my stomach in a whirl But even worse I can't stop calling her She's all I want and more I mean damn What's not to adore? I've been playing too much guitar I've been listening to jazz I called so many times I swear she's going mad And that cellular will be the death of us I swear, I swear And oh O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh Ooooh I'm running my mouth Just like I got her But I surely don't Because she's so O-oh, o-oh, o-ooh Rock 'n roll And out of my league Is she out of my league? Let's hope not I'm in trouble I'm so cliché See that word just wears me out Makes me feel like just another boy To laugh and joke about But even worse I can't stop calling her I

Cheesy songs, when given to proper singers, usually would turn into cool songs. Case in point, this song by cheeky girlband from Indonesia. I really like the version by BoyzIIBoys. They don't have the most original name, but they sound really nice. The intro comedic thing a bit too long. Nevertheless, they sing wonderfully. :D Dilema (lirik) Tuhan tolong aku Ku tak dapat menahan rasa di dada (rasa di dada) Ingin aku memiliki Namun dia ada yang punya Tuhan bantu aku Ternyata dia kekasih sahabatku Entah apa yang sanggup kukatakan Hatiku bimbang jadi tak menentu Bukan maksud diriku Buat melukai hatimu Namun aku juga manusia Yang ingin merasa cinta (ingin merasa, ingin merasa) Never never want you Really really love you Maafkan aku mengecewakanmu Never never want you Really really love you Segera aku melupakan dirinya

My friend @iipewepe ask on twitter earlier about this song we used to sing in the university choir. I love this song, it was one of my favorite back in choir days. Unfortunately could not remember all the lyrics. Manage to remember some though. Not even sure if I got the name right. Oh well. To make up for the forgotten lyrics, made a video of me singing the alto part. :p "Hear! Hear! Chris Eickman, history. His noble path to glory In time of first creation, bacterial infection Emerging plagues reveal the cause That science once nanananana Nananananananananana involved but no one had it, yet, resolved. Rice and chicken They reveal the keys To the cause of this disease And we honor Eickman Yes we honor Eickman And we sing and pray for him today And we honor Eickman Yes we honor Eickman And we sing and pray for him todaaaaaay!" The random things I do on a quiet Saturday night..... -_____________-

That is the exact words of Mr. Albert Aaron. Beside photography, he is also a skillful cook! He doesn't cook to recipes, mind you. Well, most of the time. Anyway. This post is not about Albert's cooking! Following his suggestion, I tried to cook some simple dishes. Used simple ingredients, common sense, no recipe!! After some experiments, cooking is not that difficult. Especially for simple dishes like these :D rice + corn + shrimp + chicken + garlic + shallots + chili + cheese stick Pork + paprika + mixed spices + nutmeg + red onion pork + red onion + nutmeg + mixed spices + tomato sauce + garlic + mashed potatoes sliced pork + red beans + red onion + soy sauce + mixed spices Hambaagu!! Well, for this dish, I did use a recipe. So simple! Minced beef + red onion + egg + mixed spices + peas + corn + cheese chicken + paprika + red onion + chili + garlic + bumbu ayam goreng Kokita. HIHIHI mashed potatoes from Tesco + minced beef + egg + red onion

All photos belong to Mr. Albert Aaron Purnomo of @simply_albert. Related to the last post. By the consent of the photos owner, I would love to share more stories of me, Albert, and Rivel's experience in London Fashion Week arena on February 20th 2012. Apparently, LFW autumn/spring 2012 started on last Friday, February 17th . There are several venues for the fashion shows. After finish with visa process in Holland Park, we took the London tube and went to the LFW venue in Somerset House near Trafalgar Square. And boy did everyone there dressed to the max. I mean. Gosh. Forget your usual upper class department stores in Jakarta. There were so many people in stylish, high street, and (some) bizarre outfits. So many colors. Countless architectural hairs. In addition, that afternoon everyone was relatively friendly. Of the hundreds people Albert asked permission to take the picture of, literally only one person refused to. And it was merely because he was late for a show.

In flesh. Went to London this morning to apply for Greek visa with Albert and Rivel. Albert suggested us to check out London Fashion Week should the we had time. Fortunately, the visa application process did not take very long. So we went. To. London Fashion Week . I was so excited, hoping I could meet bryanboy, one of my most favorite fashion blogger. Now. You can tell that I am not the most fashionable person in the world when you see me. Nor am I the chicest chick in the bunch nor do I wear high end branded items. Keeping up with the latest trends exhaust me. However, I do like to try dressing smartly, playing dress ups in my room, and am very fond of well dressed people. These past years I don't buy fashion magazines on regular basis anymore because of fashion blogs. Love them mainly for three reasons: free access, clever writing (glamor and cool without greater than thou attitude), and most importantly the immense style inspiration. Well. This afternoon. Met. Two. Of. All tim

Due to the lack of interesting new manga titles and new releases, I'm currently re-reading Dragon Ball. And let me state here that Dragon Ball is an ingenious work. I'm talking about clean original artwork, not over the top battle scenes (for my taste), and very very humorous with just a tiny dash bit of healthy perverted jokes. Very nice. I remember reading this series from my brother's and my little cousin's collections as a child. Alongside Doraemon. It is safe to say that Dragon Ball is one of the best battle manga ever created, if not the pioneer. I think it has a very interesting concept, about a very strong powerful purehearted boy who turns out to be an alien named Goku. And then there are several different levels of gods ruling different territories and galaxies. In addition, the king of Dragon Ball's earth is a dog whom wear glasses. Goku would later have two sons. He has several very good powerful bestfriends, a genius engineer friend whom later would mar

Some old songs I listen to during secondary school and undergrads. I am not posting all the songs I used to like, there would be too many... Neri per caso is not on this list because I may have posted too many of their songs. Wait. Who am I kidding. You can never have too many Neri Per Caso!! You're Gonna Love Me & I Have Nothing - Whitney Houston It's Not Right but It's OK - Whitney Houston Clumsy - Fergie Never too Far - Mariah Carey Le Ragazze - Neri per Caso Do It with Madonna - Androids Androids. Man. What honesty.

another rambley ramble ramble post. Everytime death news comes across any social media, especially if it's about a world icon, I can't help but think about life and death. It's so sad. When a soul departed, there are people left behind. It is part of life. The question is, what have the soul had made use with its life? Has one accomplished things? Dedicated life for career, dedicated life for some one else, or simply let life pass by? Each life journey, I say, have their own arguments. I'm not trying to preach anything here. I just have these thoughts and would like to write it down in my blog. Now. When I think about Whitney Houston, I think about my mom. My mom is a big fan of hers. She likes to sing with her style and sings to her songs. I remember during secondary school my mom would exercise using Whitney's upbeat songs. One of Whitney's song I love the most came from this memory, "It's not but it's OK". My mom has the album, play it in th
