My housemates and I found heaps of mushroom growing in our front garden, wildly! TK thought it was from the mushroom compost he poured. Make sense. Hoooyea!
They look the same like my favorite one. We were so excited thinking we don't have to buy mushroom anymore. Mushroom spending freedom here we come!
It smells the same, similar sizes, same texture but the inner part color is lighter than the one we used to have. At the end, we decided not to have them, they might poisonous and we were too scared to try. Sad.
Around 2006, i was involved in the making of a folksong album from West Papua, Indonesia. I wasn't paid heaps at that time but the enthusiasm to be involved in a recording process was so big that i finally took it. It would be a great experience. Besides, it was an indie recording, low budget and a house produced one.
In a small studio room inside Etho Ririmase's house, the arranger and producer, we made the recordings for 3 days for my songs. I was struggling with the process tho. I had to do the taking without the air con on! Cause the sound from the air con was too noisy. It was a small and perfectly sealed room, imagine how sweaty i was. Glad that i wasn't fainted. Especially i had to take some high notes. Mostly high notes. I felt like a roasted chick! :P
A year later, August 2007, with Bona Pascal Ventura (one of the people who was involved too), Etho Ririmase, and Stendy the manager, and some other people, we were invited by one of the biggest cellular provider in Indonesia, Telkomsel, to Jayapura, West Papua to launch our RBT on Telkomsel. It was absolutely great. Also crazy. Was treated as if we were big celebrities. Met some hsyterical 'fans'. Stayed in Bel Air International hotel. While we were hardly known back in Jakarta. Hahaha.. what a tremendous experience.
A few days ago. I found one of my video clip on Youtube! I watched it my 215-ers, ma housemates yo! I was hesitant to show it to them but TK was so supportive, he convinced me that i was doing good and shouldn't lose my confidence. Shame on me :P
So, yea i gave up then. I was jittery waiting for their reactions. Cause my last experience with most of my friends back in Indonesia was not very nice. Most of them laughing a lot with how i look in there. A bit disappointing. But some does had good reactions tho.
Great that the 215-ers reaction was good. They don't think it's ugly. That i should proud of myself. That's a thing that we should avoid actually. We sometimes don't appreciate on what we have. We compare too much what we have with others. I was thinking that they might think, "Poor reQQya, she looks primitive". I know that sounds silly, haha.. I wasn't confident cause one of my housemate, Steve is a Producer whose playing Hip Hop a lot :P
Yea, it does sounds silly now. Cause deep down inside i was actually proud of myself :)
I watched the original version of PONYO, the Japanese version,
last Friday at NOVA, Carlton.
The movie was a bit absurd for me. But I enjoy watching it though. The Ponyo character was just bubbly, makes you wanna touch a bubbly tummy. I touched my own.
So, I briefly helped with lighting, briefly helped with documentation, and briefly helped with a small role, ha.. seriously. I don't know why didn't I refuse the role. I was just thinking to come and watch, considering i'm a bludger. Just love to contribute to a creative production I guess. This one, though it was just a short film and I wasn't doing much, was fun because of the new environment. New experience. Also, i want to get to know Sim and Jane better, vice versa.
It's amazing really, when you just throw yourself into something strange. To deal something that might would ended up with rejection, tears and failure. But those things for me just made my soul feels richer.
soon when the shooting started, I started taking photos. think I made everyone even more nervous.
That's Jane, I was enjoying that day, also because Jane was there. it felt like do-you-have-any-idea-what-we-are-doing?-screw-it!-it's-fun-though thing.
It wasn't great shots but I was enjoying the moment, acting as if I was doing great shots.
Photos are posted on the movie's blog. And you can check out the film's synopsis. The link..http://simantic.net/dreams/
Hope I would make my own movie someday with some help from my big sis (she's doing graphic design and art (i'm a big fan of her)), with a help of my TK (he is a strange boy.. i'm sure he has heaps of fresh ideas.. xxo) and i think i'm gonna put all of my friends into work.. Low budget movie here we come :P
I was stuck inside my room a couple of weeks ago. thinking about making folio. was sitting on top of my red carpet and dying for ideas. then, i found a friend, mr. red round head. the meeting and the farewell was on the same day.
We finally made friends. He was happy enough to have a chance to live. But we have to move on, I had to cook dinner that night. So, I said goodbye to him. But he was not happy, at all.
I ripped his eyes, nose and mouth and keep them.
Hope I could see you again someday with a new form.
Pas mo beli baju, sempet ngaca dulu berkali-kali. Mastiin kalo style nya sesuai sama apa yang diproyeksiin mata begitu jatoh di badan. Ternyata sesuai. Cocok banget, malah ngasih efek-efek khusus yang bagus buat badan.
Ukuran cocok, harga cocok, warna.. walopun agak beda dari standard, akhirnya cocok. Harga? Paling krusial. Walopun lagi ngga sale, biarpun lagi bokek berat, beli aja.. udah tergila-gila sih. Daripada kebawa mimpi :P
Sekitar 5 bulan, sering banget di pake.. bahkan sampe di pake tidur berkali-kali. Makin rustic makin keren.
Semua suka banget juga ngeliat gue pake baju itu.. dan gue pun sayang gila sama baju itu.
Belakangan mulai deh keliatan belang-belangnya. Udah mulai berantem lah sama jatohnya di badan. Udah mulai pudar pula dikit-dikit warnanya. Tapi, bakalan harus di jaga terus.. abis suka banget sih, sayang banget. Apalagi wanginya udah wangi badan sendiri. Ngga ada yang lebih indah deh dari aroma tubuh, rasanya memiliki banget.
Jadi udah bukan cuma jadi accessories aja. bukan cuma jadi pemanis doang. Tapi udah jadi statement.
