1N1D with Vodka the Frenchie

Introducing Vodka the French Bulldog to our blog! (lol it rhymes)

She's so cute, isn't she? Now, she ain't ours alrite, she belongs to Elle's bff Jane. But mommy Jane kindly gave us permission to kidnap this cutie pig pie for 1N1D lolll.

So, here are some photos of Vodka a.k.a Vodvod (even her nickname sounds fatty omgomg how could you Janeeeeee) upon her arrival:

"Who that?" asked Vodvod, observing Nicky curiously.

Smile!

Elle picked her up at 01 AM* after her meet-up with Jane and when she arrived home, Jess was ultra shocked cause the story she heard about Jane's dog making snore sounds all the time was 100% TRUE!! Like; walking *snores*, sniffing *snores*, running *snores*, and so on. Googled about that and got an instant confirmation here: "French Bulldog sounds. Because of their short face, most French Bulldogs snort, snuffle, wheeze, grunt, and snore loudly. The sounds are endearing to some people; nerve-wracking to others." -- well, it was definitely endearing to all of us who met her! ♡♡♡
*hence the title (1N1D instead of 1D1N)

Okay, gotta be honest that Frenchies might not be the prettiest, but some would surely agree that they ARE the FUNNIEST. Aside from their physical appearance that resembles a mixed breed of a cow, a rabbit, a dog and of course, a PIG, they make goofy poses like these:

 Good night! *grokkkkk*

The next morning:

*grokkk.....*

Awe, you still sleepy? *grok grok*

Well, fasten your seatbelt, Vodka, cause we're going to take you to our outfit photoshoot (yep, as a model, too)! XD

We had lots of fun filming this video (and watching it over and over again. Narcissistic enough? Lol). Recording session, which didn't take long, took place at Twig Cafe - Pantai Indah Kapuk (PIK). Try their Ghirardelli Iced Chocolate when you get the chance to visit this cute place, it's to die for!

Twig Cafe // Ruko Crown Golf Blk B No. 5, Pantai Indah Kapuk, Jakarta, Indonesia 14470 // (021) 29424808

The song itself is beyond cute and very catchy as well (listen to the full song here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_-LuDpdtEQ), and the real singer is also very-very-very cute!!! Elle said, "She (Hari) is the real definition of Cute". Watch her here:

Okay then, see you later in our... next video? ;)

BigBang Alive Tour 2012 [Video + Outfit Post]

As I mentioned in my previous post, I went to BigBang Alive Tour 2012 concert at MEIS Ancol, Jakarta on October 12 (yeehee!!). You have probably heard about them, but in case you've been living under a rock, they are like the coolest South Korean boy band! Seriously, there will be no other group like them. They have it all– Faces, talents (musical + performance), funny personalities, and most importantly... ATTITUDE. And did I mention how fashionable they are? Oh, just google them for heaven's sake. You are going to love them and their songs as well. ♥

Anyway, the concert was AWESOME as expected!! Not only did they play all their hits (plus repeating some at the end) handsomely, they were also very entertaining and gave us their best by dancing and jumping all over the stage.

There were many surprises during the show– especially from Tae Yang, like he rapped "Aku Cinta Padamu" (I love you in Indonesian language) and he ripped off his shirt plus went down the stage to mingle with the crowd!!! I was like, "WTFFF those lucky bitches!" because unfortunately, I was sitting in the VIP area which is located above the stage... (╥_╥)

BigBang please come back soon to our country and give us the same energy you gave us that night. Indonesian VIP* will welcome you with open arms~♥

By the way, I didn't manage to record the whole show, but I think this video below is enough to show you guys how daebak they are! (≧◡≦)


Sorry for the low quality image and sound, it was recorded using my pocket camera.
*) VIP is the name of BB's Fan Club.

Anyway, this is what I wore to the concert:

GOWIGASA galaxy print top, black leather vest, and spike headpiece | ABOCS studded high-waisted shorts

 A closer look at the GOWIGASA spike headpiece and galaxy print top :) Red lipstick from Make Up For Ever (Aqua Rouge).

My new favorite high-waisted shorts from ABOCS!! I love the soft washed-out colors, the studs, and the cutting to bits! Thank you to the gorgeous Catherine Soepadhi!! Love you! :*

Bye Bye, Unwanted Hair!

Have you ever wonder why such thing as ARMPIT HAIR exists? Not only it's not pretty, it is also freaking useless. Couple months ago, Jess did a quick research and found this site dedicated for The (infamous) Armpit Hair, *Warning: Disturbing Image Attached* Hahaha. Not only underarm hair (nickname for pit hair) lah, we girls also questioning the existence of leg's hair, arm's hair, upper lip's hair (yes, it is a nickname for mustache, and yes, some of us DO have a tiny bit share of mustache lol), and not to mention PUBIC hair. Why... Oh... Why... T______T

So, in order to get that smooth and hairless look we want, we braced ourselves and went through Shaving, Threading, Plucking, Waxing, Sugaring, til the latest one: Epilating.

These methods DID remove the unwanted hair but -we don't know about you guys, but with us, the hair grew back in a very short period of time (uh, in less than a week?). It's kinda frustrating, not to mention the pain from waxing and plucking, and also the negative side effect from shaving (ingrown hairs, bleeding, etc.) Epilator was our favorite method so far, but it's also temporary.

Now now, while longing for the perfect way to remove all these unwanted hair, we found this piece of advertorial in a magazine not so long ago. It was about this hair removal specialist; ZAP. Quoting from the website:

"ZAP offers Intense Pulsed Light technology for Permanent Hair Removal. Its enjoyable and cost effective. ZAP is the most affordable Permanent Hair Removal in Indonesia. Price starts from Rp.75.000. ZAP is the specialist in permanent hair removal treatment using popular technology in Australia and other major countries in the world. ZAP uses only FDA and CE approved machine, and is supported by professional consultants. ZAP is the specialist in permanent hair removal treatment using technology that has been very popular in Australia and other major countries in the world.

Through a unique concept ZAP introduced ZAP Permanent Hair Removal and its superiority to all people of Indonesia."

Ok it basically offers a completely safe and different technique from any of those methods we mentioned before. What makes it different is: ZAP offers us PERMANENT RESULT*! Imagine how much time we'd save PLUS how gorgeous those smooth and hairless body parts would look like!! So we thought: "Omo, this is meant to be!" and decided to give it a try ;)
*It took, more or less, 5 times for a best result for permanent hair removal, due to hair condition. It takes 6-12 weeks until 2 month for each treatment. Due to the different phases of hair growth, a waiting-period of 6 weeks should be necessary for the best result.

We went to the closest ZAP outlet which is located at Belleza, Jakarta. The place looks nice and we were greeted by their friendly crews. For starter, each of us were asked to fill two forms regarding our physical condition and some of our personal data. After that, they took us to two separate rooms and began the treatment (WATCH THE VIDEO PLEASE for the full progress, HAHAHA):

Okay the treatment was exceptionally PAINLESS! Both me and elle felt absolutely nothing but some kind of flicking? Haha and it was very comfortable (I even fell asleep during the treatment wtf) compared to the other hair removal methods we mentioned before. AND since ZAP offers greater result (permanent removal), we were expecting even greater pain loh... Hahaha turns out it was more effective, yet much more painless. The best hair removal method or what?? :D :D

Happy legs, hairless legs!

So, after longing for that perfect way for hair removal, we have finally found it and can happily say, "Bye bye, unwanted hair!"
