HOT CHOCOLATE ON A STICK

{the kitchn}

Never really liked the instant hot chocolates they sell at the grocery store, it doesn't have that fresh brewed taste and froth I like. Lately I've been making hot chocolates at home with Pierre Herme's Monsieur Truffle dark chocolate 70% cocoa. I mix it with some skim milk under hot fire until it boils just a bit and then whisk it up to have that froth I like. Hmm...

Never Knew a Wedding Could Be So Fun

I live in Indonesia, where the wedding customs here is to invite everyone that you know(even though you haven't spoke to them in 15 years) or you might know or maybe you don't even know but because it's one of your family's friend so you invite them. You have it in a bigbig hotel room with lotsa food whr everyone go there well mainly bcos of the free food. And there's no bonding or talks going around because the venue is so huge you hardly no anyone there..

Come on, where's the love?

Anyway I always thought that my future wedding is gonna be a drag. I hate to stand up in front and shake hands with everyone that I don't know while putting on a fake happy smile as if I really cared that whoever-this-strangers-are-saying.

But since I found this bridal-slash-wedding blog I got REALLY INSPIRED, here's one of my favourite wedding so far, from 100 LAYER CAKE

AMANDA + BRAYDAN (A+B)

nice 3d collage using scrabble pieces, photos, ribbons, pins, etc

LOVE THE INVITATIONS, you hardly see that in Jakarta

okay, so cool. Remember the times when we danced in our high heels and it hurt so bad you wanna take it off? I really adore the idea of giving sandals to dance.

Love the A+B random stats as well. So creative!

Maybe my future wedding could be something like that.. Just a few of my close friends, unique invitations, fun delicious food, nothing too big or extravagant..just something warm and intimate

Gourmet Garage - Kemang

okay, I'm practically drooling here while posting up this pictures. Sorry for the different colours on each pictures, the lighting at that time was horrible and I had to use flash + micro with just a normal digital camera (Sony T2)

I HATE MORNING RUSH

Okay here's the deal, I have 3 alarms every day.

The first one is at 05.15 AM, this is a 'hey-its-morning-already!-alarm' just to alert me to stop dreaming and start waking up to face another school day. The second one is at 05.25 AM to remind me to wake up, and that I should go to the bathroom by that time. The third one is at 5.45 AM to alert me its time to go down stairs.

Down stairs I only have 6 minutes to put on my shoes, drink some milk, small talks with mom, and putting in all my bags in the car..because I have to leave the house by 5.51 AM and that's the latest, if not I'll be stuck in the jam! (So actually I love school nowadays, {its the mornings that I have problem with} with all the great friends in class and no more annoying subjects. And lately the teachers are really cool and more relax, like today from third until the seventh period we watched Slumdog Millionaire, Bring It On 5 and Step Up 2..wohoo!)

{tombo reporter pen+green mild liner}

SERIOUSLY I hate my morningggss! I love the idea of waking up in the morning when the sun is rising already to greet me, when my sister brother and parents are up already, and then I'll go for a quick morning swim, bathe and have a healthy big breakfast with the whole family..

Okay whatever.

HAIR ISSUES

PEEK A BOO!

Okay, like what's going on with my hair? I think its been months since I cut my hair and now I'm stuck with this..

so this is what's been going on with my fringe lately, clip it up so highhhh its like 5cm tall lol!

I can't stand it! My fringe is soooo long it bugs me when I'm studying

I can pass the emo look with this \m/

My fringe is like my very own personal curtain. If its down (on school days) it means I'm in a lazy mood so my visions are dark and gloomy, and then I'll just fall asleep in class hahaha!

Basically, it's time to cut it man! I took this picture months ago, now it almost touches my upper lip.

If I wasn't in school I would love to cut my fringe into asymmetrical shapes, but then my nun would kill me.. Any ideas for my next venture on new styles of hair?
