new look !!

How's my blog's new layout? do you like it?the header is a litle bit off the box, but i guess it's okay. it's cute anyway :D
there's no special meaning behind this new look. i just want to give it a fresh something because i haven't pimp it for a while. i added a tag and maybe there's more in the future.
oh some random facts of me. i fell in love with the song "No Me Ames" by Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony once again. the lyrics are absolutely romantic in a unique yet sweet way. the songwriter is undoubtedly brilliant!! what else huh? oh yeah, my whole family are currently loving my father's new beverage recipe: es susu tape ketan ! it's sweet, delicious, it's perfect.

see you,

Batik MADNESS !!

on 4th May 2010, my school , 78 high school, will hold a graduation ceremony for the seniors, and it means my class, the so-called acceleration class will have to attend it too !! my, i get excited!! have i mention that I got 55,20 for my national exam scores? ;) 6 lessons, it means my average score is 9,20 !! woot!!! and my score becomes one of the top 5 in my school!!! woohoo!! :D

well, the graduation's dress code is batik. for you who didn't know it, it is one of the traditional clothes in Indonesia :) the problem is, i got a lot of batik! i have several kinds from skirts to dresses. not to mention my mom's shirts and blouses! so, i can't decide which one that i shall wear to my graduation. help me please? ;) thank you !!

two pictures below are out of the options. let's just say, i got carried away with this euphoria -,-

the green clutch is a laptop case -,- and it's not a batik skirt. it's just a printed pattern that looks like batik's pattern

again, it's not a batik dress ! it's a dress made of sasirangan fabric

pictures above are some pictures that i mentioned on my previous post. well then, shall we start the selection?

i often wear this dress. the hairband that i wore is actually a belt for this dress

batik's skirt. it's a borneo a.k.a kalimantan's pattern

mom's sheer batik blouse. pekalongan's. i have to wear legging cause it has a high slit on the side.

a sleeveless batik dress, bought in Jogja. it has a belt on it. i have to wear legging cause when i sit, the skirt will go up to my thighs

mom's blouse. super loose :) pekalongan's

batik's skirt. i wore it for my middle school's graduation. papua's pattern

I know that my face in those photos are just terrible!! screw it! >:( i was sweaty because my room was totally hot, damn it.

anyway, which one is your favorite? would you mind telling me and help me choose? thank you

XOXO

Zahra :D

scribbles

lately, my (over) creative mind has been working on its own. just like when i saw my laptop pouch i began to think to use it as a big clutch --" i even thought what kind of outfit that goes well with it. and then i realized that i haven't capture a photo of my new purplish dress. so, i started to work with those outfit. pictures come on the following post.

then, when my mother told me to wrap a gift for my brother's friend, the creative mind worked again. it was a regular pencil case and i misjudged the size of the wrapping paper. it was overlength. blame my cyllinder eyes -,,- then, i transformed them into a shape of flower. and you know what? i got tempted to keep the 'flower' for myself. don't blame me!! it's just lovely

wear it as a pin...

...or put it on your hairband...

... but don't munch it, ever -,-

Love, Z

After all this time

hello guys!! finally, it has been a long long long long time since the last time i updated my blog. miss me? ;)

well, i decided to vacum because i didn't have enough time to write nor felt like it :P to be honest, i got a very very tight and busy schedule this past 4 months that i, myself, suffered lack of sleep, turned out to be short tempered, awfully exhausted, not to mention my gastritis became worse day by day..

thankfully, all my efforts are being paid back !! i've been accepted in Gadjah Mada University, or UGM for short, in Jogjakarta. majoring in pharmacy. but, i still hope that i can pass SIMAK UI (God, i need HUGE miracle !!!) or UMB so that I can enter FKUI.
AMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNN.....

well, there are many, many things that happened on the past 4 months. too much that i can't type it all down here. from lovey-dovey thing, someone's crush on me (which was totally unexpected for me), relationship with my brother that became closer day by day, until the most pleasantful one, my best best friend, Aji, gave me my (sooooooooooooooo laaaaaateee ) birthday gift.

can you believe he played Canon in D Major with bass on the Earth Day celebration?
it was supposed to be one of some songs that his class' band played to win the acoustic competition. but, can you believe that he also meant it as my birthday gift? just like what i ever wanted? and when my 'twin', isti, told me that he insisted before that their class have to play Canon? God, i was speechless when i knew the truth...

in conclusion,

I'M AS HAPPY AS ANYONE CAN BE !!!!!!!!!!!!

sweet failure

ya aku memang gagal dalam PPKB UI. tapi tidak masalah. ya aku memang sempat menangis tadi. tapi, kuakui tangisku itu bukan untuk kegagalan ku kali ini. tapi untuk ayahku, aku merasa sangat kecewa karena belum bisa membuatnya bangga kali ini. tapi tidak apa.

aku wanita yang kuat. kalau memang kali ini gagal, lalu kenapa? aku akan mencoba dan mencoba lagi sampai aku berhasil. aku bersyukur punya mama seperti mamaku. dia hanya tertawa menanggapi berita tadi sambil berkata, "Yasudah kalau gagal mungkin memang bukan rezeki kamu di situ. bisa aja kan si penyelenggara pmdk nya bingung antara dua pilihan? mungkin rezeki vania di pmdk, rezeki kamu di simak. (amiiiiiiiiinnn) ikut aja semuanya teh, ga papa. coba aja, nggak usah takut."

kegagalan itu hanya keberhasilan yang tertunda. kalau sekarang gagal, masih ada simak. masih ada ujian masuk universitas yang lain. masih ada kesempatan pmdk yang lain. sampai saat itu tiba, aku hanya perlu belajar belajar dan belajar. aku yakin, Allah punya rencana yang paling indah di balik ini semua untukku.

little miss varicella

i know it's been such a long long time since my latest post. yes i have been a very bad blogger. pardon me, i felt very lazy to update this, i didn't know why. now here i am, with the latest update. and i tell you, this is going to be a really bad news.

I'M HAVING A CHICKEN POX!!!!!!!!!

yes. it's bad. i feel very itchy! i want to scratch it but i couldn't. my face is disgusting. i'm having a PMS too. so i couldn't tell is that an acne or a tiny pox in my face. raawwr .\/. again, my face is disgusting. i have to drink three medicines, 1 vitamin, and wear an ointment.

and i can't go out, i can't take a bath (actually i am not fond of taking a bath so i don't mind at all), i can't wash my hair (that dammit pox are on my head too) i can't clean my face (now it's oily, i can't stand it. i wash it anyway) and i didn't go to school for 2 days and not going to go at least for 2-3 days more. *sigh*

i'd rather have a dengue fever than this chicken pox.

"breathe" and "white horse" - taylor swift

I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time.
...
Now I don't know what to be without you around.

And we know it's never simple, never easy.
...
And I can't, breathe, without you,
But I have to, breathe, without you, but I have to.
...
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt.
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve.
But people are people, and sometimes it doesn't work out,
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out.
...
It's two a.m. feelin' like I just lost a friend.
Hope you know it's not easy, easy for me.

Say you're sorry
That face of an angel comes out just when you need it to
As I pace back and forth all this time 'cause I honestly believed in you
Holding on, the days drag on
Stupid girl
I should have known, I should have known

That I'm not a princess
This ain't a fairytale
I'm not the one you'll sweep off her feet
Lead her up the stairwell
This ain't Hollywood,
This is a small town
I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
Now its too late for you and your White Horse, to come around.

Baby I was naíve, got lost in your eyes
I never really had a chance,
My mistake, I didn't know,
To be in love you had to fight to get the upper hand
I had so many dreams about you and me.
Happy endings, now I know
....

....
I'm gonna find someone, someday, who might actually treat me well.
...
Now its too late for you and your White Horse to catch me now.
