I love Axioo!

If you are one of my closest friends, you'll probably already know that I'm not planning on getting married. At least not in 5-7 years from now. But I adore photography. And in this case, pre-wedding photographs.

This is my favorite so far. If I ever have one It'll probably look more or less like this.


I love Axioo! Sayang mahal nya gila-gilaan. =P They have an exhibition down at Plaza Indonesia, Jakarta

Visit axioo.com if you're curious. ;)

Feeling like sh*t? Be glad about it! ;)

Around 4 months ago, I was introduced to a very nice and inspiring woman.
The first thing about her which amaze me was, she's 25 and she's juggling her education and work everyday. And not just any ordinary work, she's a program director at Prambors Radio Semarang. Keren banget yah?

But this is what she said, "Lo pikir enak, jadi model terkenal? Jadi bos besar perusahaan paling sukses di Indonesia? Jadi dokter bedah paling laris? Ga segampang yang kita kira lho.. Semua pekerjaan yang terlihat keren tuh sebenernya kalo dijalanin rasanya kayak t** tau.."

Dunno why but sampe sekarang kalimat itu terus yang gw inget tiap gw lagi down; bahwa semua kerjaan keren butuh perjuangan, dan kalo sekarang gw banyak pikiran, stress dan ngerasa kayak t**, itu artinya... gw lagi keren-keren nya! ;D

Ever Ever After

Ariel. Cinderella. Snow White. Aurora. Jasmine. Belle. Mulan.
As a young girl, I grew up watching, loving, and got deeply inspired by their stories. Now I'm more than excited by the news that Disney will soon release a new 2D-Princess-Movie this year! :D



:)
wishing you a happily ever after,
TS

Blablabla

This game, I'll win it.
I'll do it my way
Never gonna bend or change it for anything.
Not for you, not for them.
I'm playing it my way and I'll win this game.

You are my present,
but I make my own future.



Once upon a September,
TS

Kisah Kasih di..

Cowok : *duduk di sebelah gw, pelan-pelan ngulurin tangan ngajak kenalan*
Gw : *senyum, ngulurin tangan juga*
Cowok : *menyebutkan namanya*
Gw : Saya Tessa, Mas.
Cowok : Ooh... Cantik. *senyum2 malu2*
Gw : eh? Kenapa Mas?
Cowok : *nunduk, makin senyum2 malu2* Gapapa... Cantik.
Gw : Oh. Eh, makasih.. hehe.


Kalo di film-film, ini adalah awal dari kisah cinta romantis ber-ending happily ever after.

But in reality, ini terjadi di bangsal Rumah Sakit Jiwa, dengan tokoh utama seorang coass muda dan pasiennya.




Semoga kamu cepat sembuh, mas. :)


Sincerely,
TS.

Yasmin Ahmad's Brilliant Works.

This video was directed by Yasmin Ahmad, and also one of the most inspiring, touching, heart-warming TV commercials I've ever seen.



I found a Behind The Scene video for "Funeral", where she had talked about the main idea of the well-known commercial.

She had said that it's a common global disease that people are reluctant to get married, because we tend to search for perfections on our partners or, for some, have the desire to become perfect. (ini gw banget, hahaha)
Well, guess what?
"Somebody actually love you for your imperfections, isn't that great? It could only happen with family." she said.


Another one of my favorites is her Tan Hong Ming's Love.

Yasmin Ahmad (July 1, 1958 - July 25, 2009) was a critically-acclaimed multi-award winning film director, writer and scriptwriter from Malaysia and was also the executive creative director at Leo Burnett Kuala Lumpur.

Again!

I think I'm cursed.



Ngga deng. Hehe.

But seriously! Ada satu hal yang terus menerus terjadi dalam hidup gw sejak jaman dulu kala.
Again and again. And again.
,
and again.

Jadi ceritanya, ada seseorang, sebut saja Kumbang (bukan nama sebenarnya)... Err.. jangan kumbang deh, secara orang ini one of my VIP, so.. ayo kita cari nama yang bagusan dikit.


Leonardo?
Artemis?
Lee Donghae?


ah sudahlah.


Taufik. Namanya Taufik.

Gw biasa memanggil dia 'Kak' or sometimes 'si kakak'

Yak lanjut.
Si kakak ini bakal pulang ke Semarang seminggu lagi, setelah ngejalanin kompre (kayak KKN gitu) selama 2 bulan di Pemalang yang serasa 2 tahun. (Lebay deng, 1 bulan pertama dia pulang tiap minggu, so.. biasa aja. hehehe.) TAPI oh tapi.. Selesai kompre berarti dia udah selangkah lg menuju wisuda dokter bulan Oktober nanti. Which means.. he's moving back to Jakarta.

Which also means.. another long-freakin-distance relationship for me.

Now you understand why I think I'm cursed, right?
I almost always end up being in this kind of situation.
LDR, that is.

Apa ada yang pernah gw sakitin trus nyumpahin gw yah?
*yeah mantan-mantanku, silakan tertawa sepuasnya.
hehehe ngga deng. apa kabar kalian semua? :)*

Well anyway, ada satu (dari beberapa) hal POSITIF yang gw dapet dari having a long distance relationship : layaknya bank, gw jadi lebih Mandiri.
Serius, itu satu hal yang gw syukurin banget. :)

Gw ngga akan se-independen sekarang kalo gw ngga sering terjebak dalam keadaan pengen-ditemenin-pacar-tapi-dia-jauh-amat-yah-yaudah-ah-mau-gmana-lagi-masa-gini-doang-ga-bisa-dikerjain-sendiri.

Dan masih banyak hal positif lainnya sih. And the negative ones? Ngga usah disebutin lah ya, everybody knows long distance sucks. =P

In conclusion I think there are always gonna be the down side and great side about everything. Tergantung kitanya aja mau ngeliat dari sisi yang mana. Ya ga sih. ;)

48 kilograms.

These pictures were taken about a week ago, and it made me realize something.

I'm not skinny anymore.

Or is it just because I was standing beside my slim and (very) tall younger brother?


Well, either way, I don't really care. ;)

To me, life's too short to hurt ourselves with any unreasonable diet.


Do you agree?

MJ

you never said goodbye
someone tell me why
did you have to go
and leave my world so cold?

everyday I sit and ask myself
how did love slips away
something whispers in my ears and say

you are not alone.







Rest in peace, Michael.

Should I Follow?

After 6 years of playing with Friendster,
2 years of Facebooking around,
plus killing time with MySpace, Multiply, Hi5, Zorpia and a few others I eventually neglect,
now I'm considering about making a twitter account.

I probably won't update my status much, personally I think the world doesn't need to know what time did I woke up this morning nor how I spend my Saturday evening. (In case you're pretty curious, you may find the answer by asking si comel facebook anyway. =P)

The only reason I wanted an account is because I wanna follow her.

She's one of my long time role model. I've been adoring this super-smart down-to-earth beautiful young woman ever since I saw her sitting on a couch with Oprah, talking about Women Rights, Education, Islam and What It Is Like To Be A Queen.



Recently, she also stated that tweeting can help change the world.

So, should I make a twitter account? Dilema, dilema.



anyway,
Have A Nice Weekend, Everyone! :)

Something.

Oh this is confusing.

I wanted to write something
something else instead of the warmth that I'm feeling.
Something more than his gaze that keeps on haunting.

Oh I just wanted to write something.
Something else,
anything.

anything else
but him.

One month is too fast
but i can't help it, I'm falling.


June 2009.

I seriously think every girl alive should read Dea's note about this book.
Or if you saw the book, buy it, read it, and then can I borrow it?
;P

oh and there's a movie based on it, too. Dapatkan di counter-counter DVD bajakan kesayangan anda. ;D
