Music Muse: The Beatles

This post is being on hold since September 2012. I really want to make a sketch of four of them but I can't trust my own capability until, now. Also, these are three paragraphs that I wrote back then...

"I started to hear several of their songs in 2009. A friend of mine introduced them to me and he might be never knew that from that time I've got my biggest crush to a music band. It was never happened before! It felt like I've jumped to the higher step of music appreciation. I have some favorite songs back then but The Beatles give me another experience. It's been four years and I always hear their songs and slowly became more attached and attached. I can't spent a day without singing one of their songs, I even start to sing eveytime I want to sing!

Recently, I've watched all 8 episodes of The Beatles Anthology. I've appreciated them more because they told us how the songs being made from their own experience. I really wish to have a time machine so I could join the girls that chased them crazily in the street, shouted and cried in their concert, enthusiastically watched their movie in the theater, and of course, stood on the Saville Row to watch their very last concert at the rooftop. I can't help myself when 'Free as A Bird' video clip being played at the last episodes. I cried. Hard. Even when I typing this sentence, my tears want to fall down.

How could I became so emotional? Simply, their songs always could expressed my feelings. With a Little Help From My Friend and Here Comes The Sun can always heal when I feel down. Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart Club Band and I'm The Walrus make me fall down into an artsy imagination. Black Bird reminds me to keep humble. I will flood up this blog if I continue to appreciate them, haha..."

In conclusion, The Beatles is my muse to be more adventurous and brave to be what I am to be.

Trapped in Jakarta

I feel bad for people in Jakarta that trapped in flood for several days until now. Some of my friends can't go anywhere and also in crisis of clean water. Unfortunately, my boyfriend's house is located at the most deep area of flood. I feel really bad because nothing that I can do besides giving moral support. I can only pray that no more heavy rains for several days ahead, at least there's a sign that the water height will go down.

Although many civilians say that Jakarta is really terrible in trash management; cityscape; transportation system; and traffic system, it still have a nice place to see. I'm talking about the cultural area that still exist in the middle of big malls and tons of tall buildings.

We visited Pasar Seni Ancol last year. It's really out from our plan to go there, since we want to visit Taman Mini Indonesia Indah at first. But the traffic was really unbearable, so we go to this place instead. Pasar Seni is used to be crowded and lived, many art activities being held and quite a great market for selling art stuffs. Now it left us some shops that still survived and art installations that quite catchy.

Survived shops.

Pile of shoes in front of shoe shop.

Catchy Ants.

Rattan King Kong.

Out Bond Area

Pinwheel and street lamp.

Seashore.

No sand, no play.

This is a view from Lodan Monastery near Ancol. When I passed the front door after had a visit, I noticed this Buddha statue standing everyday to face the traffic. I wish for a better Jakarta...

Feisty November!

My friends and I managed a booth for a bazaar at SDH Cikarang last week. We want to start a party organiser service for sweet seventeen or wedding occasion.  The preparation was not really good because we were being busy with each other job. But, we are quite satisfied with the result. (After borrowing and making some stuffs).

Nautical and vintage stuffs being together on the same table. The garland was made by me :)

   

The cupcake was made by Ovi :)

My pals! Katherin and Elica :D

Elica's dad has sooo many lovely birds in his big cage. This is a couple of love birds!

This one is the prettiest one

This is the oldest bird but he's really talkative and love to dance, (jumping with one foot) haha

Taking a bath :3

It's quite a great weekend, sharing stories with our friend's family... Looking at our friend's childhood photos (and then make it as a joke :p). And it's always feel like home when we are surrounded by nice and warm people.

I wish you guys a great weekend too! :D
