Gentlemen, start your engine!

Finally.. The very much anticipated motoGP new season has began!  There are some changes and a few new comers in the new season, so I definitely think this would be such an awesome and interesting season!   Last night, the first race was on. As predicted, the Hondas were dominated at Losail circuit (Qatar). Even though Jorge Lorenzo succeed to cut the duo Casey Stoner and Dani Pedrosa and made it to 2nd position, it was Valentino Rossi who stole the spotlight. His first ever race with Ducati ended up with him at 7th position after battling with Ben Spies half of the game. My dear Vale claimed still had pain in his shoulder due to motocross crashed nearly one year ago. But as a huge huge huge and devotee fan, I'll always support him no matter what. Go VR46!  Here are some VR photos from Qatar, the night race and one of the most beautiful circuit. Don't you love his new helmet and of course, the bike? So colorful and so Vale...

Yang Datang dan Pergi

Today I'm gonna share an article called "Yang Datang dan Pergi". I read it in a magazine called "LUAR BIASA". An inspiring magazine that brought to us by Andrie Wongso himself. ................ YANG DATANG DAN PERGI by Prie GS Ada yang datang dan pergi, ada yang terus menetap di sini, Yang satu bernama kenyataan yang lain bernama perasaan. Misalnya rasa marah. Sementara yang dimarahi sudah bernyanyi-nyanyi, yang memarahi masih berapi-api. Seluruh perasaan, baik rasa marah, sedih, benci, dan iri memiliki kecenderungan menetap. Sementara yang dimarahi, disedihkan, dibenci, dan diirikan sibuk datang dan pergi.  Lihat saja seluruh sumber rasa iri adalah soal yang begitu mudah datang dan pergi. Misalnya iri kepada orang sukses. Sementara orang-orang sukses itu datang dan pergi, keirian itu masih saja menetap di hati. Jadi yang terjadi selama ini ialah, rasa iri itu selalu tertuju kepada soal-soal yang mudah datang dan mudah pergi. Padahal, tanpa diirikan pun, soa...

everybody is a star

I came across to Justin Bieber's tweet the other night (I followed JB okay? I love his "Never Say Never" campaign and how he encouraged people to believe in their dreams.) Anyway, he tweeted "Think before you say something hurtful to someone else. It may look like they're ok but they're not. Words are more powerful than you think" Once again, I agreed with him. Sometimes we (accidentally) said something that maybe hurtful to someone else. Or maybe the other way? Like what I've been through. People out there are mean. There, I say it! When you were born different than others, they wouldn't stop mocking you. Like what they did to me when I was child. What's wrong with having darker skin color and bigger eyes? Like Lady Gaga said, I was "BORN THIS WAY" Those racism rant is traumatic. That's why it still there in my short-term memory. Noone wants to go out with me, cos I'm different. I didn't grow up to be a confident...

#PRAYFORJAPAN

March 11 would be the date that all Japanese remember throughout their life.  My thoughts are with everyone affected by the massive 8,9 magnitude earthquake which followed by Pacific Ocean tsunami. Many lives gone to heaven and I'm sure they all will be missed. Who am I to judge? But I can't help to write about some disrespectful people who made jokes about this. Everyone know that Miyabi comes from Japan. This group of people fussed about. "save Miyabi" or "too bad! no more Miyabi" and so on and so on. Come on, that's disgusting and not even funny! Many victims devastated and struggle to survive and the best they can do is just complaining about Miyabi and thingy? You guys are sick! What a shame.. I wonder what would they do if the disaster actually happen to their own family and friends. Will they laugh over it? Our mother earth is once again showing up her anger. Japan, you will be in my prayers.. Let's make this world a better place. Well,...

drooling over.......

My blackberry beep, I looked at it and oh, an email... Later I found out that it came from Net-A-Porter. It titled: 10 steps to spring chic. Next scene? I couldn't help to sneak peek till I lose my breath. Just like the title, genius people behind net-a-porter divided the email into 10 steps to spring chic. Before I dig in too deep, does any of you subscribe to net-a-porter too? Did you breathless? Cos I did.  teaser As you might know, without any doubt, I went straight to no. 4 which is the shoes section. This time, it called On The Wedge. Wedges does look chic when teaming up with spring outfit. High heeled yet comfortable is one of many benefit from wedges shoes. We can look stylish without hurting out feet too much :) Animal prints still dominate here, of course along with the classic leather and canvas material. Here are some of my top notch: Givenchy woven leather wedges This pair is the ultimate summer/spring style. With the classic brown leather and interwoven st...

the new joy

Ciao!  We gotta stay active and control our food intake to be in perfect shape. Gym has been my choice as long as I care to remember. I started go to gym way back then when I was in junior high school. My mom happened to be a gym freak and she often invite me to join her class. I hooked. Along with me grown up, gym has been a so called -lifestyle-. Nowadays, if people want to go to the gym, they simply go to the nearest mall. With fabulous disco lights and trance music played so loud, gym reminds me with a club. Well, the only difference is we go to the gym in the morning, while we go back from the club in wee hour too. LOL.  Exactly 6 months ago, I gave up my membership in one of gym at Bandung. I just couldn't stand it anymore. Beside the cost that getting pricier by day, I didn't really enjoy the atmosphere. At first I thought it was cool, but at last I was just tired. Too crowded. It's crazy when people dressed up to the gym. Like, really? Gossip spread around people ...

silence is golden

I love everything that currently going in my life right now, but I think there are some things that best kept as a secret. Although I really want to tell the world about this happiness, but it might be better if I just zip my lip. No, it has nothing to do with marriage actually.. We don't even think about that.. Cos it's much more than that :) I learn to be enjoying every step and every plan that God has made for me. No rush, no fuss. Let it be beautiful in its time. We just have to be patience, calm, and keep our faith..  Our 8th year anniversary is approaching and I can't be any happier.. Being with him every single day means new experience, new acknowledge, overall... new journey. I once read a quotation that written "Love is sweet when it's new, but sweeter when it's true". I just never thought that a sloppy guy that I met years ago could bring so much differences in me. And so do I to him. Maybe we just completed each other and belong together. I...

out of the blue.

One fine morning on the way to work, my boyfriend told me something. It's not like that I expected so yeah, I was a little bit shock. He said, "Maybe we should buy a house" . I replied, "What? What's gotten into you? You've said that your priority right now is your business and I'm totally fine with it.."   He convinced me, "It's not an answer I expect from you.. Don't women suppose to be enthusiast? You're acting weird" My face burnt. "Is it really what you want?" (bad habit -> too much questioning) "Yeah. I've been thinking about this lately. Maybe we should start looking for a house... I'm happier when we talk about it, but not marriage. I mean, who knows what I'd be wearing on our wedding day? Or where we celebrate the party, the catering, the band, etc? All I want is you... Us."  Dead silence.  I cursed myself for being too serious in thought about what shoes I'd be wearing ...
