~Hello, April~

Spring is my favorite season of the year. The air is cool but not cold. No hot sweaty days that makes your hair damp and lifeless as well! It is indeed the time for pastels, florals, and anything lace under the warmth of the much missed sunrays while having a picnic in your favorite park.

Happy midweek, all!

A very good day to you!

First of all, apologies for the lack of updates either here in the blog or in my twitter or in my Lookbook or in my Chictopia. I have been preoccupied with life and despite tiring, I am absolutely grateful I can still have things to do, responsibilities to answer to, and so on..

A few of you asked about the title of the book which I quoted on "The Sandstorm Chases You". It is indeed Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami. I am in love if you can say, with Nakata character in the book. Perhaps because I can relate to him.. He once said that he only have half a shadow than a normal person and that makes him a little bit different. Throughout the end of the book, Nakata was driven by this willpower to do something without knowing the reason. He just has this ultimate full faith that he HAS to do it even though he doesn't know why. In the end, he died, peacefully, with half a shadow and I was left feeling rather empty inside. Like losing a good friend.

In some way I do feel like Nakata sometimes. That I'm lacking something, like I'm only half of what I'm supposed to be (I guess it's time for a boyfriend? LOL). Also, as a Christian, sometimes I do things that I don't even know why I'm doing it, but I know I have to do it because that's what God wants. I guess I have to follow Nakata footsteps, just keep the faith. Oh, and Nakata does this thing where he can sit completely still and not be bored. He just look around and not even thinking.. Which also remind me, I need to be still.. I need to surrender to Him. Often I try so hard to get the things that I want until I forgotten what He wants for me. 

The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent - Exodus 14 : 14

So be still, my darlings, let God take full control of your life and fill that half of a shadow you're missing.

PS. I know you are all bored with the background. I am bored with the background as well. Fear not, I am off to Singapore this Saturday. This blog will be a little quiter even more than usual for about a week. Will definitely take outfit pics with a change of scenery. Lord know I could use some! :)

It is Spring right here in Bandung. Well, to be fair, we don't have winter at all so basically we see green all year around. But the sky has brighten up and although rain still pours down every now and then, we definitely greeted with the sunlight more than a month before. Hence, the pastels are all out to play. Thanks to Khaloong for this delicate pearl collar necklace! It adds just enough elegantness (is that a word? I'm not sure) to a somewhat sweet humble outfit. Loving the white and pastel colors combo these days. Couldn't get enough of them!

Anyway, I'm sorry if I haven't been blogwalking and replying comments as per usual. I have been out of it lately. I mistyped a lot. Miscommunicate a lot. And even didn't get a good night sleep very often. My unexpected post was up there not for nothing. Life has been a series of unexpected events. Not that they are unfortunate. That I haven't quite seem to figure out. But a girl should keep her prayers hard, her faith in check, and belive things will work out for the best.

And I guess we fell apart in the usual way.
And the story’s got dust on every page,
But sometimes I wonder how you think about it now.
And I see your face in every crowd.

Wishing everyone a super duper sweet weekend!

If you are a long time reader (if not, check out the last post), you must have noticed that my hair suddenly gotten longer overnight.. Thanks to the secret shampoo.. which is not existed. Ever wonder how people get those luscious locks? They seem to own it effortlessly which is quite annoying cause I personally always envy girls with long healthy looking hair and strive to have one like them! But long hair requires exhausting care and I personally can't afford long hair because it starts to fall. The answer for those? Cheap human hair extensions of course. 

At first I thought human hair is way too creepy but then again, the plastic ones look.. well.. plastic while the extension from human hair looks more natural and if you choose the right shade, it looks like you do have super long hair! The benefit of owning a hair extension is you can have long seductive shiny hair anytime you want. It seriously gives you a more glamorous look, or even a whimsical one when it paires with a flower crown like I do. The downside is ofcourse, the weight and the heat from all those layers. But I really think Spring is a perfect time to try something new! And you can get your own hair extensions online here.

I have been using IPhone since January and I absolutely head over heels with all the accesories (example, my IPhone cover. cue : crazy cat lady in the house) ! One of my weakness other then vintage items, is adorable good-for-nothing item. Hence, this blue macaroon shaped pluggie with pink ribbon for IPhone just begging to be mine. Fine, pluggie can actually protect the hole used for ear phones from dust, so I guess it has one benefit.. Thanks to JelyShop for this absolutely darling pluggie! Follow their Instagram : @JelyShop and do not hesitate to shop there cause the items are super cute with cheap prices!
