Where is the Love

"I think the whole world's addicted to the drama

Only attracted to things that will bring you trauma"

"Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria
Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria
Kids want to act like what they see in the cinemas"

"If you only have love for your own race
Then you only leave space to discriminate
And to discriminate only generates hate
And when you hate then you're bound to get irate"

"Man, you got to have love just to set it straight
Take control of your mind and meditate
Let your soul gravitate to the love"

--Simply the best Black Eyed Peas song ever.

Beautiful Mess

  

Lately I've found myself having a new hobby and that is to braid my hair like this. It's very simple actually; all you have to do is "just bring your hair to one side and braid it loosely - not too tight because you want it to look a bit messy, and then tie the end with a small elastic."  /via KidzWorld

Life is Wonderful

One of many wonderful things in life that just happened to me was L'Arc~en~Ciel World Tour (to celebrate their 20 years together!) on May 2nd in Jakarta. Jess and I still can't believe we were finally able to see their live performance! We've been fans for years since junior high school!! :')) 

Anyway, this is the outfit I wore for the concert (trying to be as comfy as possible)!

Black Tank Top from GOWIGASA, F21 Bird Necklace, F21 Neon Leggings.

This is when Hyde (vocalist) said, "Halo Jakarta" and then blew three flying kisses to the audience! *FAINT*

If looks could kill... (he is 40 something for God's sake!)

Tetsuya (bassist) - One of his memorable acts was when he asked the audience, "Kamu mau pisang aku? Atau kamu mau jilat lolipop aku" and then started to throw bunch of real bananas and lollipops! lol.

Ken (guitarist) - He is surprisingly very funny and goofy! We were surprised because he always looked so cool in Laruku's music and concert videos! You can watch his witty performance here.

L'Arc~en~Ciel -- It means "The Rainbow" in French

A message for fans, regarding their performance at the Madison Square Garden (Laruku is the first Japanese band to headline the legendary venue):

"This is huge for our band to perform at the world-famous Madison Square Garden, so I want to make sure we give you the very best show for the American audience. ... I want to take the very best of everything we've done in Japan and put it in this show," Hyde said. "It's so hard for a Japanese act to be successful in America, but we were given this opportunity, so that means there is a possibility for us to break in the American market. I definitely feel lucky to be here after 20 years as a band."


"When we first started, I was just happy to be able to eat. Our goal back then was to be #1 in Osaka so that people in Tokyo could hear about us."

*I really hope I can watch their live performance again!!*

Fresh Feeling

I'm here to tell you, that it is good, that it is true."

"Words can't be that strong,

My heart is reeling.

This is that fresh, that fresh feeling."

What I love the most about this skirt is the tulip layered, which makes it more elegant and sophisticated.

Can't thank June+Julia enough for giving me this gorgeous (and comfy!) pair of shoes. ♥

Let's get rich and give everybody nice sweaters and teach them how to dance,
Let's get rich and build a house on a mountain making everybody look like ants."

Sequined Saturday

Yesterday I had my late lunch at Ninety-Nine (Ranch Market) restaurant that just opened few months ago near my place.

A bowl of Mushroom Soup that looks like a cup of cappuccino. Definitely one of the best mushroom soup I've ever tasted!

As usual, Aglio Olio pasta haha.. With extra sauteed mushrooms, yum! Sadly I forgot to ask for extra spicy.

Caesar Salad

Oh, have you watched The Woman in Black starring Daniel Radcliffe? I just watched it yesterday and mannn, it was scary as hell (the creepy old toys, haunted attics, and shrieking music, OMG!). Luckily, we continued to watch The Lorax at midnight and it was enough to remove the visual images from Daniel's movie out of my mind. Anyway, talk about scary movies, I still think Skeleton Key and Alone are the scariest ones.

What I Wore:

Both Shirt and Shorts are from Bangkok // Kate Spade bag // JC LANA shoes

 

Thinking of having a haircut asap and changing my hair color too, hmm.. ;)
