big grin

gawat.
can't stop smilling.
:D

fashion smirk

how people abroad are so designer concious.
whether they can't find any good item if it weren't designer brands or it's just there aren't any good stuff besides the branded item [plus some cool vintage pieces].
here in jakarta, i rarely spotted designer brands on muddy ground.
of course they always sporting chloes, balenciagas, marc jacobs, in those classy events that includes a stilletto user friendly atmosphere.
but never in a sunday bazaar on the street.
all in all, almost no street wear uniform includes designer items worn here.
unlike jakarta's posh crowd who reserves their expensive pieces only for glittery events, people abroad are more carefree with their over the top fashion schmansion.
not just on the street going to a flea market, also to a muddy concert such as lollapalooza.
a hugo boss shirt here, a chloe bag there. dior homme sunglasses on the left, martin margiella tank up there, miu miu platform shoes down here. like the pic above, that cool girl is wearing a Lanvin scarf!!!
even the supposedly rough edge rock god [although always known for his flamboyant style], perry farrell, is having a picnic there in his marc jacobs pants! gosh!
oh and from the last pic i browsed, there, an ice cream seller guy posing in front of his ice cream truck in his le coq sport sneakers!!! good for you tharleeeng...

talk about obsession! dear oh dear...
well, been there done that - obsession over a mere mortal which i thought was a perfect angel sent from heaven in a form of an 'ex'. yes, yes, he's perfect alright [or so i thought], n been so wonderful that it took me several decades to get over the heart wrenching regret that i dumped him. but it's all in the PAST.
anywaaaay... that's not what i want to talk about.
these days, i have to accomodate a terible grieve of a friend who can't get over her ex. well, not an ex actually. they never even had a date, but she told me, they just ALMOST had a date. but because of something she did, was a real turned off for the guy. and he bailed out.
and this friend of mine, cried her heart out every fuckin day, mourning, wailing, going tantrum, and regret her not so very good attitude. and she thought he was the love of her life and now that it's going to dust, she thinks that her life is over.
HELLOOOOO!!! you guys not even had a date gitu looohhhhh!!!!
this constant wailing makes me really sick. but somehow it knocks me in the head.
did i do the same complaining, mourning, and annoyed all my best friend in the past years??? have they been sick also with my - can't get over him - attitude?

pull the plug

this is the first day of my life.

i swear i was born right in the doorway.
i went out in the rain
and suddenly everything changed
there spreading blankets on the beach.
yours is the first face that i saw.
think i was blind before i met you.
i don't know where i am
i don't know where i've been but i know where i want to go
so i thought i'd let you know.
these things take forever
i espescially am slow
but i realized that i need you
and i wondered if i could c o m e h o m e.
remember the time you drove all night.
just to meet me in the morning.
and i thought it was strange
you said everything changed
you felt as if you just woke up.
and you said, this is the first day of my life.
i'm glad i didn't die before i met you.
but now i don't care.
i could go anywhere with you.
and i'd probably be happy...
so if you want to be with me,
with these things there's no telling
we just have to wait and see.
but i'd rather be working for a paycheck
then waiting to win the lottery.
besides maybe this time it's different.
i mean... i really think you like me.

[first day of my life, bright eyes]
