Precious Hardcovers and Latest Treasure

Image
Keep an undying love for my favorite hardcovers. Put A LOT of effort to purchase some of them (starving, do extra saving, etc) and some are highly appreciated gifts. Hohoho.... Scarlett, Order of The Phoenix, Brisingr, The Deathly Hollows, Totto-Chan, and The Series of Unfortunate Event - The End. And of course, Daniella's latest treasure: "Jung Woo Bag" Purchased in Etava vintage shop UGA! I mean look at that knob.... For me, it makes the bag look graceful and powerful at the same time! The big stitch, the trim.... They don't make this kind of details anymore these days. Not for the kind of money I paid for this bag at least (Rp 70.000 = about 5USD) . Nope, these days they make machine-made bags with no details/poor details for the same price. Oh well.

Banci Aksesori

"I am a banci aksesoriii..... Syalalalalaaaa..... " (necklace: Etava; bracelet: Pasar Atum; and my mightiest big white ring: a souvenir shop in Galilea) In the mood for accessorizing! Hm. To be honest, I don't really understand studded stuff. They look cool, may be. The thing is, I'm not very much a rock chic. I do consider buying them, for time to time. But then, one shouldn't buy everything that is on a fashion magz, right? Instead, these ethnics accessories are timeless! I think I'm going to stick to rocks and and ropes, goldie silvery, generally beadsy stuff for a long, long time. Also.... Bought this pants at Female on The Move exhibition. Not so bad lah.... And they ARE comfy! Vintage necklace & bag from Etava , Jl. Nusakambangan, Makassar. Hidden treasure chest! "aduh mak banyak utang!"

Strip Strups, Blue Stripes

in the blue stripes She was waiting for her man to come. He's still on his way, so she's waiting still - in the blue stripes. Until your coming day, my love Here I am, standing still in your blue stripes.

And Then There Were None

And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie My review rating: 5 of 5 stars for me, this is agatha christie's best novel. each person died one by one, but turns out the murderer was the sixth anak negro. troubled me getting into sleep nights after read it. View all my reviews.

There's 4th, 5th, 6th, and graphic novel of Artemis Fowl???

This is outrageous. I can't believe they don't print all the Artemis Fowl series in Indonesia. I just can't believe it. I recently signed up in goodreads.com , gave my ratings for books I have read, look Artemis Fowl up and what did I find?? That there'are number 4, 5, 6, a graphic novel, and several other Artemis Fowl series. Alright, perhaps I'm over reacting. But still... This is what happens when you live in a city like Makassar, where the best you can get is Gramedia. Don't get me wrong, Gramedia provides me good books all these years. But still... That's it. From now on, no matter how, I'm gonna purchase my books from amazon.com. Amin.

Yes, my dream is someday to be a eccentric colourful granny who looks like this: HOHOHO. hello kids, wanna some candy? photo: http://www.hel-looks.com/?p=image/archives/1/20090305_01/ Anyway, I wore my killer platform wedges to Carrefour today, and huge mistake it was for not wearing it with tights nor socks. IT KILLED ME. And it me walked like a cripple. Note to self: SOCKS. At least socks.

Scarlett by Alexandra Ripley

Image
Opa W.I.M and fam gave me this book as my 17th birthday gift. I personally think she's such a good role model (as an entrepreneur at least). Witty, intelligent, tough. Just i ncase you don't know.... So Scarlett O'Hara is the main character from the book "Gone with The Wind" written by Margaret Mitchell. The Scarlett I'm refering in this post is the same character, except it's from the sequel book titled "Scarlett" written by Alexandra Ripley. In the sequel, Scarlett O'Hara has grown up so much, even more mature in love, given birth to fifth child, and became landlord in Ireland. Scarlett O'Hara Gone with The Wind sequel I accidentally watched the movie/tv series version in Hallmark, but not entirely cause I had to go somewhere.... For things like this I really wish I have my own credit card. So I can buy Scarlett in dvd via ebay. Hmmmm..... Anyway, the gowns!! Don't you just love it when people back in the 18th century wore their big...
