Fashion & Talks: Little Things are Big

Until now, I still remember that day..
and I still doesn't believe it really happened in my life.
It's the day when I made fashion show for my clothing works, Loli Dreamland.

In here, I'm going to share a bit about my experience and the event <3

Anyway, this post will be long. Therefore I'll be divided it into 2 parts: Talks about my experience and some details of the event.

------------------------

About my experience,

If you know me, actually I'm a 'melancholic girl' type. Yes, I'm shy, definitely not a risk-taker, i would prefer to be quiet than speaking my opinion in the public.

I was never thinking to start new things and change my negative sides to a better me.

However, everything started to change when I have a goal and dream in my life.

Besides that, I'm so thankful for continuous supports from family, friends and also internet. 

Now maybe you're wondering, why internet? lol.

I've read through internet, people's experience on their journey of changing mindsets, actions, etc..

What I learn the most is about, someone will never be happy/success if you doesn't go through hardships. Those hardships is the thing that makes people become he/she is right now.

Reading one people's story to another doesn't simply make bubble light on my brain. However when I experience a similar thing, then I knew it was definitely a lesson.

Before explaining too long about my background, I'll just cut it here~ hahah.

So, what makes me still doesn't believe what I did along the process and that day were because of these reasons..

First, I can speak alone in front of many people, without fears and shaking.
It's a very rare moment when I can do that way. Inside me, I feel scared and nervous, but happiness and dreams were flowing inside my head and body. It finally leads me to forget those fear and nervous.

Second,
Imagine when you plan an event. When a person organize most of the things, we could assume this person is a leader, right?
You can say that I'm the leader of that plan. However, I think what could make that event to be success is all about teamwork. Therefore, I'll conclude that nobody is the leader.
Also, I'm so blessed and thankful to have a great team.
Even, I got many supports and help from people which I didn't request previously. Every supports, either in words or actions, it's still illustrate clearly inside my head.

Third, I get new friends which I never expected before. I have some people whom I admire and previously, I never think that I can chat freely with these people. Not only that, I'm also getting closer to some friends when we rarely talk before.

So many things happen actually, but I just didn't remember one by one. hahaha.
I know, my journey is still super duper long, but I think it's good to keep a good memories. When I'm older, I want to read this post again so that I can smile from my heart when reading it..

 I know this event was actually 3 months ago, but it creates memories for me~

For some of you who might wondering where did I go till I didn't update my blog, that's because I'm moving to Melbourne (for university purpose).

If you're also from Melbourne, left some comments below~ I wanna chat with you and get some new friends here~ I easily get bored recently because I got nothing to do here, unlike when I'm in Jakarta ;P

Event Report: Popcon Asia 2013

Hello everyone~

For those who lives in Jakarta, have you ever visited Popcon ?

Last Saturday, I went to Popcon Asia and it's a really fun xD There are so many great illustrator who attend the event.

I'm not alone at the event, I was accompanied by my good friends. We took a picture together too :D

Most of the picture in this post was taken by one of my friend, Jenifer <3

You can found art book, doujin, figma/nendo, posters, etc.. Not only national illustrator participate in this event, but the international illustrator too~

It's really awesome to meet those great people :O I just never thought I can meet them >w<

Here's a photo of me with an awesome illustrator, Mimi <3

Actually, I never knew her before. However after seeing all of her drawings, I suddenly fell in love with her artworks.

Moreover, here's some interesting artworks that I saw at the event :3

and these are collections of dolls which is super CUTE <3 I think you will love it too xD

Other than that, I also took photos of some booth~

Of course, I did shopping too at Popcon~ xD Here's a picture of all things that I bought :D

Last but not least, here's a photo of me :P I didn't wear my makeup when I went to the event. That's because I forget to bring my makeup case .____.

Thanks for reading,

see you :)

why someone should be grateful

Actually, this post is not related to beauty or fashion. To be honest, I need to think almost twice to post this. However, I just thought that after reading this post you can found a new motivation.

Basically, it will be about my experiences. If you suddenly get bored when seeing my long writing, just close it, but I recommend you to keep reading. 

Why? 

You will never knew if you have a similar experience with me and maybe you will be grateful for it.

These days, so many things happen to me. Most of them are bad things. I don't know why, but it seems all of my hard works never turn out good..

First,

The IELTS test. I need to take this test as a requirement to enter my university.

I've done my best to study hard EVERYDAY, even I need to ask for approval to my school for not attending the activities after my final exam finished and use that time to take an IELTS course.

When I took the test, I'm 100% sure that I will be passed, because the test was easier than what I thought.

The results? I was failed. My overall score is 6.0, but the writing is 5.5

I only need to get 0.5 more and it made me dfdsfsdfsdfslgjskdjgksjdkgjsldgkj. *Super bad mood*

Second,

This past, actually I'm not 100% that I'll passed :P However, I want to try it, at least I will get some experience.

I don't know if actually I need to share these things :X However, yea I decided to tell it..

I join 2 auditions which held by MMK (moe moe kyun maid cafe) and angels. If you haven't know about MMK, it's actually a maid cafe that usually opens at AFA (anime festival asia). Just google it if you still don't have ideas xD LOL.

The second one, which is angels.. Actually it's an audition for cosplayer in my country, that later after some people are selected, they will be a team to do some cosplay together. So, basically they will do a freelance job as cosplayer in some events.  What I thought, someday Indonesia will known as country that has friendly and talented cosplayers because of this team. lol~

Finally.... I don't called for interview at MMK but get called for angels. hahaha.

At the end, after I've quarrel a little with my mom to join this things, I still didn't pass.

To be honest, I feel down when seeing the announcement, because I think there's still a hope that I will pass this time.

Third,

I've prepared many properties for my piano concert on the 15 June. The time management for making these things are not good. So, we (the committee) need to make everything in less than 1 month. Of course, almost everyday I feel super tired and almost get sick TTwTT

When the day come, I can't play well. There's a part where I stopped for 2-5 seconds and so many wrong notes! Erghh,, so sorry to Chopin for not playing your song well >w<

So, what's the point of telling those stories? Am I only complaining and get angry with it?

Absolutely not.

I never regret those things to happen. If I got the chance to go back and fix many things, I won't do it. Because, if I didn't experience it, I will never be better.

If I didn't failed on the previous IELTS test, I won't achieve a better score. Right now my overall score is 6.5 with 6.0 on writing, 7.5 on listening, 6.5 at reading, and 6.0 on speaking.  Moreover, I won't rely on God when waiting for the score. The 2nd test were harder, so I didn't think that I would pass. However, I believe God can do a miracle for me.

Other than that, I also made my parents proud because I was called to stand in the stage for getting 100 on English national exam and pass the ielts test with a good score.

If i didn't try my luck for joining the MMK and angels audition, I won't know the feeling when I got rejected and needs to improve in many things. Also, I also learn a lot that even though physical appearance is important, but socializing with others are more important. When people find something special from me, it means that I'm succeed.

If I didn't being a part as a committee, I will never experience on how to create an event and how to make it successful. Furthermore, I learned  a lot to make various things. Right now, I'm really good at using glue gun and wires :P (I rarely use them before. LOL xP)

There's still many things I should be grateful, but it will be too long if I list one by one. hahaha xD

If you feel really down and think you're not good, list down things that you feel happy in your life. For me it's really effective, because there won't be any people in this world who never feel happiness.

Every little things give a big impact.

So, I list 1 or 2 things that I'm happy everyday. If there aren't any, I'll just write a motivational quotes that I found on that day :P 

Hopefully this will motivates you to reach goals and be better.

Don't forget to believe in God on everything, but you needs to work hard too~ hahaha xD

Remember, 

be grateful for everything <3

SG haul + tutorial survey

Hi everyone <3

If you notice, I rarely post anything for the previous week. My life got super busy due to my piano concert which held on 15 June.

As a part of the committee, I need to make bunch of properties and attend some meeting :(

However, today I'm back to my routine as a blogger xD So, this will be a super late post after my first post of May haul. LOL.

***

I went to Singapore at the end of May with my grandma and mom. Also, we only spent 2 days there! LOL. But, I could still bought some items and I'm really happy about it~ hehe xD

When I flashback that time, I went to many places to get these items. The great thing is I don't get tired! *The power of shopping* LOL xD

However, I'm a little bit sad because I can't come to Funan Anime Matsuri. I really want to meet Kaname and the other guest star. Moreover, I want to visit the Maid&Butler Cafe too TT___TT

But that's fine, I just need to wait for AFA :3

So, what did I buy?

<3 A pink shoes. Bought from Vincci store

(Please pardon my big legs TT___TT)

<3 Rohto Cube eye drop and Hello Kitty Hand Sanitizer from Watson.
(will review the Rohto eye drop soon~ )

<3 Fabrics. There are so many cute fabrics in Singapore, but the price is a little bit pricey :P At least, the quality is really good!~ Bought from a store in People Park.

Last picture~
A photo of me after doing the piano concert. My face looks so freakin' asdjfkajskdfj :X

Anyway, I wanted to ask 1 question for all of you~ hehe.
In your opinion, should I make a video tutorial or tutorial in pictures?
Because I'm thinking to make another tutorial x)


Thanks a lot for your comments. I'm really happy to hear your opinion xD

Polling Anouncement + preview to next post

Since the polling that I made regarding to the topic that all of you prefer had closed. So, now I'll anounce that  you'll see more of my wig reviews :) But still, you'll see I posted other things such as makeup review, my travel story, my fashion collections, and also tutorials (hopefully).

Other than that, I'll also tell you that maybe I won't be as active like I've been doing these days. Why? Because I'll have lots of tests for my 12 grade :S 

But, at least I'll still keep post something 1 post/week and if I really don't do that, please forgive me TTwTT
And of course, it won't last long. On April I'll have my last test (the National exam) and after that time, I'll be more active. Yeayyy!! xD

For now, I'm still thinking my wish and goals for next year. I do really hope it will come true xD and if you guys want to know, I'll reveal 1 and that's: "I want to make an online shop based on something that I design+make." and I still believe, my passion for fashion won't be stopped as I enter a different major for my college. That's why I want to fulfill this goal.

Okay, I'm done with telling all of my polling announcement + a little story from me xP hehe.
Wish you all have a good day. See you on my next post! :D

My fashion's work+coordinate

Actually, I should had posted my work to this blog some months ago, since I've already finish it on August. This piece were inspired by a fairy, so on my photos below you'll see I'm wearing wings too :P
Eventhough it's already late, but I want to share my first work and coordinate to all of you. I hope you'll like it.

Skirt and bow were made by me and i coordinate it with a matching blouse.

Also, I made the head accessories to support this look.

and after finished it, I use it when I went to AFAID 2012. I'm super excited at that time. I wish to have another chances to go there for next year.
I have thought it will be super crowded and it's really happen. So, I'm so lucky to wear this outfit because it feels so comfy :)
In the evening, I took some photos with my friends. But some photos are noisy because the lighting weren't support us anymore :(
Here are some photos of me and my friends :)

Maybe next year I will open commision for making a dress/jsk/skirt/bows/blouse, etc xD But, before that I will study hard to finish my study in grade 12 and also keep improving my skills on sewing+design.

Thanks for reading, have a nice day :D
