Happy New Year 2013 :D

2012 kayaknya termasuk tahun yang sangat FUN! :D
walaupun tiap tahun memang ada ups and downs nya,
tapi *kayaknya* dibanding 2011,
2012 itu lebih kaya luncuran di water boom!
lancar-lancar aja dan exciting :)
sementara 2011 itu kaya rafting, sama-sama menyenangkan,
tapi lebih banyak 'benturan' sama batu-batu di sungai-nya :)

Di tahun 2012,
kejadian-kejadian menyenangkan yang terjadi *yang terus bakal diinget* adalah:
- Home-school! :D:P
- U.S. trip :')
- China trip O.O
dan satu lagi yang penting,
di tahun 2012 aku jadi yakin,
mimpi itu harus dikejar sampai ke ujung dunia! :D
Kalo berani mimpi, harus berani ngejarnya juga,
jadi whatever it takes to fulfill the dream, do it :)
even  when that means leaving your comfy zone !

dan tahun 2012 bakal ditutup dengan menyenangkan :D
sambil tahu kalo tahun 2013 bakal be a fun year!
yet, belum tahu FUN itu akan dalam bentuk apa O.O

tapi gimana nggak fun kalo ada:
- Me church's 20 anniv! :D
- Student Convention .. Oh joy! :P
- mau ujian ini dan itu..
- SWEET 17! *I'm feeling really old and childish (at the same time) for a 17-y.o.-to.be*
- dan banyaaaakkkk yang lain-lain :')


harapan buat tahun 2013 pasti ada dong :D
salah satunya adalah menyelesaikan sebuah project besar yang rasanya kaya ribuan projek aja --'
lulus sekolah kalo bisa :')
ketemu jurusan yang cocok buat uni! AMIN :D

well,
good bye 2012,
and hello 2013!!! :D
can't wait to see what u have in store for me :)

CHEERS!

-*^^*-

Have a holly jolly Christmas! :)

Have a good one,
and know that He is with us! :)

CHEERS!

-*^^*-

*Now how does that sound? :D exciting!*

I made a PERFECT sunny-side up egg :P

I'm so hungry...

Happy Holidays, guys!

CHEERS!

Christmas - 3!!!! :D:D

3 months ago,
September 23, 2012,
I turned 16 :)

Today was pretty decent :) pretty good!
It was tiring though :(
My feet are sore!! Like, really sore..
But I won't complain! I am actually quite happy about that :)


But, 'today' is now over and 'tomorrow' is coming,
And, boy! Can't I wait for Christmas Celebration!
Ohhh!!! :D:D:D

Better get some rest now :)

Happy Holidays!

CHEERS!

-*^^*-

Gloomy Day

The title says it all..

Plans change and people change..
A great day turned to be a horrible day..
A respectable person turned to be a shameful person..

Why is it such a gloomy day,
When Christmas is right around the corner?

-*^^*-

CHRISTMAS -7!!! :D:D:D:D:D

OMG!! :D:D:D

Christmas is coming in just 7 days ?!?!
HOW GREAT IS THAT!

well,
These days I'm starting to prepare myself for zee famous Student Convention..

dan salah satu yang aku ikut adalah membuat patchwork..
tentu sajaa nanti nggak bikin yang gede-gede gitu,
I'm just making a small sarung bantal :P
*But I'm not cheating! It still counts! :D*

di sebelah kanan adalah foto of my very first attempt in using zee mesin jahit :P
which is BAD BAD actually
but it looks HMMM OKAY here! :D:D
see, it's not neat by any means..
it's horrible! But I'm starting to love it!

well,
semoga semua berjalan baik!
now back to my cross-stitch and patchworks!

Happy Holidays!

CHEERS!

-*^^*-

Pizzas!

Remember what I said last night?
about the 'lost of appetite' and stuff?
well I take it back!

last night,
rrriiiggghhttt after that very post,
I went to this cozy pizzeria, named Massimo,
just 'round 5-10 minutes from my house..
and I ate really quite a lot!

and of course,
I ordered a Margherita Pizza (which is basically just cheese, tomato sauce, and basil)
and it was pretty good!! I ate 2.5 slices :P

for dessert, we ordered Lemon Granita and Waffle with ice cream..
the granita was indeed lemony, and it was super fresh tasting, very sour but that's just how a lemon taste like :D
and this is one of Massimo's favorite (popular) desserts..

the waffle was not my favorite, though..
it was a bit too thin, a bit skimpy on the ice cream,
though the flavors were good :)
and it was also served with a little bit of *I'm guessing* strawberry jam :)
I think they sell different kinds of jam there as well :)


and because their signature drinks were not available *  :(  *
I ordered Iced Chocolate :) yep despite my sore throat I still drink cold drinks :D
you know, I think when I treat my body as if I am as healthy as can be when I am actually not
* in terms of what I drink and eat*  My body will just react to it and be healthy again!
*DON'T TRY THIS BTW*
The Ice Chocolate was divine!
It was the sweet kind of chocolate, with a little hint of bitterness,
but what I love about it is that it has no granular bits like the other chocolates drinks I've ever had :D


now,
I'm so terribly sorry,
the food went out and into my belly as soon as they arrived at my table, so I couldn't take any picts of them :P

but I will take picts next time :)

the price is hmmmm somewhat okay :)
and the portion is quite medium-small, which actually is perfect for me,
but yes it looks smaller compared to other cafes or restaurants :)

-*^^*-

Photos! Any thoughts? :)

I was google-ing for some pictures when I remembered, I wanted to share some pictures with you! :D

I'm not a professional photographer, as you will see very soon,
but I just love how photography can make one ordinary girl rule the world,
by finding the right angle and capture these beautiful picts! *In my opinion only, maybe:P*

I have a few more coming,
but until then,
these are 3 of my fav. photos that I took :D

Tinkerbell Cupcake :)

Nicholas Sparks' and Dick Van Dyke's

Gereja Blenduk, Semarang :)

CHEERS!

-*^^*-

Christmas -9!! :D

Well the Christmas celebration was fun,
But what comes after it was NOT fun at all..

My head was pounding 2 for 2 days,
And I lost my appetite..

Oh well,
At least the Christmas celebration was a real blas,
And!
Christmas is really getting closer :)

-*^^*-

P.S.: a happy birthday shoutout to one of the best teachers I've ever had! :) happy birthday, Ms!

Christmas -11 :D

Yeay!!
It was such a huge success, if i may say so myself! :D
The Christmas Celebration @ school was soo fun :D

It was indeed tiring..
Yet satisfying :D

And this Christmas Celebration closed our term, and semester..
After this we're going to have 3-week holiday :D
Which is supposed to be super fun :)
But I will totally miss those guys :')

I will miss the eay they tease me..
The way they laugh,
The way they talk and cry and ask questions.
:)

Well call me 'lebay queen',
But i miss those guys already!
:(



But the good news is,
Christmas is just nearer and nearer!!
:D
So excited!

Happy holidays people!

-*^^*-

Christmas -12 :D

walau menurut beberapa orang lagi, tradisi itu SETELAH natal'nya..

Christmas -20!! :D

Heyaaa :D
Sooo tired after a long day :(

It has been long studying-working days..
It's fun and tiring at the same time..
:D
But I really enjoyed it and somewhat become more enthusiatic coz CHRISTMAS IS SO NEAR!! :D


By the way..
I've planned thinga for Christmas..
Crossing my finger and praying that everything will be approved and went well!
Those includes buying a Christmas present and baking projects!
And one more HUGE project :D

Dunno why, I much prefer Christmas gifts than birthday gifts..
It just feels more festive and a present fits in with the whole celebration thingy..
*was 'thingy' even a word? LOL :P:P*
While birthdays is just..
That one day when you are 1year older than you were yesterday.. :p
*if that even makes sense*

But yes i will purchase that 'present' with my own funding
*that i got from my birthday LOL :D*


umm soo yeaa hopefully this Christmas will be FUN FUN FUN :D

Hope your Christmas is as bright as the Sirius star!

20 days to Christmas and 27 days to 2013 :)

-*^^*-

just the way YOU are :)

Yeay! Another song and chords! :D

This time, I abandoned my school-work and worked on the chords and lyrics my self!

So yes these are not perfect at all :(

This is Titi Sjuman's song, "Just the Way You Are",

the OST of Minggu Pagi di Victoria Park (Which is a great movie, btw)

There are 2 versions of this song, Indo and English, and here are the lyrics to the English one...

The Indo one, you can google it up..

(It's kindda hard to find the English version :(  so I'm sorry if there are some errors on the words)

You can find the song in the website of MPdVP      in the media  --> soundtrack part :)

ENJOY! :D

"Just the Way You Are"

To divine a reason

                                  C
You just have to know

C   G             Am               G       F

                                        C
Doesn’t seems to far

You can drift that sky,                       baby

Dm/C                     G
Maybe not

I Almost Do - Lyrics TaylorSwift

This is one of Taylor Swift's song in her new album (Red), I Almost Do..
It's not that catchy, i still haven't memorized all the words,
I thought of sharing it with you guys, because, well...
The lyrics says it all :)

I Almost Do 

I bet this time of night you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week
I bet you’re sitting in your chair by the window, looking out at the city
And I bet sometimes you wonder about me

And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Everytime I don’t,
I almost do, I almost do

I bet you think I either moved on or hate you
‘Cause each time you reach out there’s no reply
I bet it never, ever occurred to you that I can’t say hello to you
And risk another goodbye

And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Everytime I don’t,
I almost do, I almost do

We made quite a mess, babe
It’s probably better off this way
And I confess, babe
That in my dreams you’re touching my face
And asking me if I want to try again with you
And I almost do

And I just want to tell you
It takes everything in me not to call you
And I wish I could run to you
And I hope you know that
Everytime I don’t,
I almost do, I almost do

I bet this time of night you’re still up
I bet you’re tired from a long, hard week
I bet you’re sitting in your chair by the window, looking out at the city
And I hope sometimes you wonder about me

-*^^*-

Boys :P

Melihat temen-temen cowok yang I grew up with..
Baik temen gereja maupun di sekolah..

Geezzz sekarang mereka udah bukan anak kecil lagi ya..
Masih usil, tapi udah mulai punya respek dan 'jaim' :p
Pembawaan diri mereka masing-masing juga udah beda..

Dulu mereka pada unyuu banget :D
Sekarang udah nggak unyu :p
Tapi THANKFULLY gak ada yang model boy-band korea juga..
Pheeww! :D:D:D

Suaranya udah pada berat semua..
Di mana dulu suaranya unyu banget kaya Pocoyo :p #Clue :p



Meskipun demikian..
Ada 2 cowok yang nggak bakal 'tumbuh' dimataku..
Aku kenal mereka 4-6 tahun yang lalu..
Dan sampai selamanya mereka akan jadi 'anak-kecil' terus..
Bakal unyuu terus :)
:):):)
I'll hug them tight and kiss them on their cheeks because they're just so cute :)
And their laughter just bring joy to every body..
My two baby cousins! :D:D:D which are 10-12 years younger than me *i feel old*


*btw,
my 'uncle' told me this too when he got married :)
I'll always be a little girl in his eyes..
COOL :D:D*


Boys,
I can't wait to spend this Christmas holiday with you guys :D

-*^^*-

Christmas 2012 -24 :D

Oh My!!! :D:D
Nggak kerasa banget sebentar lagi udah natal - lagi! :D
Dan habis natal tahun baru..
What could be more fabulous?

:)


I'm feeling very creative this year..
So I'm planning to do some kind of Christmas decoration or sumthin' :p
And who knows - maybe I'll bake some cookies or cakes! - just MayBe :D

Starting on next week,
I'm planning on my lovely phone into an 'iPod' and its playlist is going to be filled with Christmas carols :D
Especially I've just discovered this beautiful Christmas record by Mr. Buble..
Which will go perfect with my Al Jarreau's Christmas collection :D

Oh my how i Love Love Love Christmas :D:D


Happy holidays people :D
