i've been writing on t-shirts lately, not a pretty good drawer so i write things. this one is my first and i love it because almost no one knows what it means. it reads tenderoni and it's a chromeo song. i love to have something that people don't have. the next thing i'm going to need is the colors to dye in the t-shirts. i have developed some ideas and having fun with it.

we can work it night by night

dear, aksara bookstore..
i genuinely think you're one of the best things that has ever happened to this city. your existence means so much for me. thank you for providing business casual when people seem to underestimate that kind of music. it makes me sync with reality.

shiny and hypnotizing

yesterday, i went to trend show ipmi 2011 with sty and rizki, showing some support to mr. priyo oktaviano and of course, the local fashion industry. bumped to some people, including former work acquaintances. had fun and totally adoring the collection 'perle de l'est'. the styling was magical, the music was like that kind of music when you're watching a movie and be blown because it was so fit in and my favorite would be the entrance! it's dolce & gabanna-esque and impressively stealing everyone's attention. too bad i didn't get to record it, for i was too hypnotized. i did record some, including the finale and due to bad quality (recorded with a pocket digicam), i filled in another music for the video.

fun night!

calm before the storm

i've been browsing a lot on many things that aren't 'current' but yet so much cooler than 'current'. including this one. i can't say much about both of the song and video. probably just..love! i mean, kid cudi is so cute and wait, mike stroud! mike can screw me anytime. just sayin'.

chromeo ♥♥

i'm aware that this is not the most fresh video from chromeo, but i like this one a lot. my love is growing so fast towards chromeo's music. i was literally in my worst mood after a weekend full of booze and pills, and i turned out to be worst when i'm drunk. it's like getting the worst hangover because there's literally nothing to do on monday when everyone is going out for work. all i had was my bad mood, UNTIL i listened to one chromeo and seem to can't stop myself for more because it literally makes my mood better.

people are getting excited for chris brown and ne-yo's concert coming this december, well, maybe it's just my timeline in twitter. and respect to both, but really, the mainstream keeps making a projection that its failing in delivering an education about 'good music'. i want chromeo, they sound good live; they deliver 'something'. it sucks when more music which get more commercial seem to lose that 'something'. i'm sorry to blabber and it's not that i'm the best person with the best musical taste and ears, but i'm just afraid that more and more people will lose the ability to listen to 'good music'. it's only in my part though, i can't generate people's ears with mine and not that i want to, but things are going to be a lot better if we can educate our ears and sense toward 'good music'.

if you ask me to elaborate 'good music', i'm just going to make it simple. for me, it takes more than some good tunes, more than 'meets the ears'. i'm a sucker for lyrics and stage acts and the history. we may share different takes on 'good music' but somehow, just somehow, i hope more good music become commercial. BUT if great musicians aren't complaining about their music then why should i? i don't care about the commercialism, all i care is the good music. it's just in my deepest hope that more people will be able to get to hear the 'good music' in the slump of 'most of it are crappy, some are okay' music.

ps: i wish i was a french lit student where dave 1 teaches, so i could have him as my TA.*sigh*

i'm in love with you but the vibe is wrong

top:douche, pants:vintage, shoes:zara, bag:m)phosis, glasses:mx+co and assorted accessories

i was watching some old videos that my xbf saved in my laptop couple of years back. back at the moment when i was at the early stage of being a fall out boy fangirl. i'm still a huge fan, will always remain as one, i believe. besides of his lyrics, pete's style has inspired me throughout times. so when last night i saw the video where he was wearing the stripped pants, i remembered that i have a similar piece. i decided to put them on today with a top which is shredded at its back and a pair of black wedge boots.

on the other side, not only that i reminisced fall out boy last night, i also did reminisce the xbf. pretty lame, but somehow, i think it wouldnt be so easy for any guys around to top him. and mostly, for his music sense and the way he showed his 'romantic' side by sneaking stuff that i love into my laptop/ipod/journals. oh, f*ck!

but that day never comes.we let it slip away.

i miss this part of my life.

mark ronson & the business intl-the bike song

once again, mark ronson and the business intl successfully steal my attention. okay, not only that they steal it, they have it! mark ronson is always special because he owns the groove and melody and with the business intl, they're creating a new flavor. and ahem ahem..check out the fashion! i was quite surprised to see ronson's fresh hair gig, BUT he pulls that look off! well, first of all, let me just say men look better when they're wearing stripes. maybe it's just me, but stripes do make certain men A LOT MORE sexier. second of all, nothing can go wrong with a simple black and white combo.

and now, i want my bike. i really want a bike to ride on. okay, this year's birthday list: new ipod, a bike and the 500 hats of bartholomew cubbins. thank you.

i don't like to give common presents, that's why..

Gareth Pugh S/S 2011 Collection - Director: Ruth Hogben from SHOWstudio on Vimeo.

gareth pugh will always going to be one of my top favorite designers of all time. i sent this as a birthday present for my former boss because i think they both are delivering a breakthrough for the industry, never to bring a comparison however. mr.pugh is handsdown a prodigy of material explorer, structural designs and all things presently futuristic.
