Anddd… Yep, you got it right! The much loved Floral Denim Top is back in stock at GOWIGASA! *yippie-kay-yay* Posted these two pictures on Instagram, days earlier, wearing the dainty top for a Saturdate:

Floral Denim Top, High Waisted Denim Shorts, Square Backpack Brown — all GOWIGASA [http://www.gowigasa.com]

..Got some customers asking about it right away lol. It IS a very cute top, I admit. You can yours now for IDR 175,900 only at http://www.gowigasa.com ;)

By the way, if you look at these two pics above closely, you'll find that I look tall on pic A, and *ahem* pretty short on pic B. Well my friend, that is what we call 'angle management' ; which obviously worked on pic A, yeehaw! Basically, I just leaned back, even rested my butt a little bit on the table *sorry, table* and HEL-LO, long, legs! XD

Another way to look tall on your pics: low angle shots. Pic B was taken from my bf's eye level, and he's taller than me, so of course I look shorter there. :b #anglemanagement #tinyselfdefense

Examples of low angle shots:

…and ending this with 

Whatever angle shot! Lol

See ye later, aligator! Love ya better by the weather!

Never Mind (the Haters)

What I Wore: H&M 'Never Mind' Top | GOWIGASA Cross Print Skirt, Studded Bag, and Lion Pendant Necklace | Swaychic Heels

A few days ago a fellow blogger asked me on Twitter if I've ever been bothered by 'haters'. Well, I guess if you are active in social media, it's likely that at some point you'll get at least one hater— it comes with the package! Not only in social media, you can also get spiteful haters in real life no matter how nice you think you are.

Dita Von Teese said it best:

"You can be the ripest, juiciest peach in the world, and there's still going to be somebody who hates peaches."

Therefore the question is not "How to not be hated," it is "How to deal with haters." 

The best advice that has been proven to work for me is the classic "Never mind the haters." It's true, y'know, when you get back at haters, that just fuels them up to keep coming back at you. When you leave them alone, they leave you alone. In dealing with online haters, you can always use that cute 'block' button, it is there for a reason. Man, if I had a penny for every time I block someone. (Jess: "Me too!")

Moreover:

“Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events; small minds discuss people.”

...see? Why should you be upset over what small minded people has to think or say about you? 

To sum up, here's few sentences from Johnny Depp which is related to this issue and has inspired me a lot. It is one of the quotes I live by :) Thank you Mr. Sparrow!

"Just keep moving forward and don't give a shit about what anybody thinks. Do what you have to do, for you."
