Dear blogster, (abbreviation for blog mister, which is the new name I gave to my blog!) Oh how I dread fall, the cold weather, the strong wind, and the endless rain.

Aside from that though, I am excited for this quarter! :)

This quarter would mark my new beginning in The Art Institute of Seattle. Yep, this is where I am studying (for those oblivious). I am in the Fashion Management and Marketing Program, Bachelors.
My current GPA is not at its best due to my laziness last year, and I hope I could change it this year! :)
I think that going back to Indonesia this time has opened my eyes, and made me realise of the many goals I want to achieve in my life.

Hey, you only get to live once, might as well get the best out of it right! :)

One of the reasons to this transformation is probably my mother :) We did not use to be in good terms, but all of that has changed ever since, well, the recent months. I want to achieve great things for my parents, and make them proud.
Whoever said that one's dream is definitely one's personal dream? It could be fulfilling other people's dream/wishes too right? :)

I am taking five classes this quarter. And aside from my first quarter (in which I had no choice but to take 5), I have never done that.
I am not going to lie and say that this program is not tiring, it is. But I hope I would adapt to it soon and excel in it.

With love, xoxoxoxxo.

PS: I met two amazing girls! Vanessa & Melody, who are like the bestttttt! :)
PPS: IMU :)

Hey fashionistas, I know there are like, gazillions article on spring trends for 2010 blah blah blah.. I tried looking it up on Google and all I got are a bunch of different types trends.
Unable to find what I wanted, I decided to look up style.com and elle.com myself and come up with 5 out of the multitudinous trends that might be huge for Spring' 10! :) It's kind of early to talk about it, but... that is the fashion industry! :D

SPRING' 10 Ready-To-Wear Trends:
1. Feminine Details

-- ruffles, laces, light materials

2. Peek-a-Flesh

-- sexy cutouts, revealing silhouettes

3. Back to School

-- socks, youthful, ribbons

4. Tribal Culture

-- bold patterns, gladiators, flowy materials

5. Folds and Folds

-- drapes, pleats, layers

I MISS YOU SO MUCH :(

Today, I went home from school without BB's companion. For those of you who don't know, BB transferred to Oregon State University. (He turned UC Davis down, I know, I screamed at him too)
But um, I guess for now, OSU is better than UC Davis mainly because its closer! :) It's only 5 hours away! So at least I could see him almost every week :D

Anyways, I have to get super good grades for this quarter because,, *drum rolls* I'm intending on signing up for the Vegas trip that school organized for this February!! It's a fashion thing, and apparently, it helps improve my management/marketing skills etc,, so yeah, wish me luck!

PS: Oh my gosh I want my weight to be 50 kilograms! :(

I just got a new haircut! Teehee, cutting my hair in Jakarta is a much safer bet than doing it in Seattle! The problems with most salons in Seattle are that they are either too expensive, or your hair will come out horrendous. Your choice.
Of course, I'd rather go with the expensive one, but i cut my hair less frequently than before :( About once in every three months when I am in Seattle.

Anyways, I went to the Toni & Guy at EX (beside Plaza Indonesia), and got a haircut with Veronica (Top Stylist). She is awesome! I love my new hair, even though it's tad too short if you ask me - though aside from me, everyone else said it was good.
I like the layers that she had given me, plus, she didn't use a razor, nor the jagged shears to thin out my hair. So yeah, I'd say she is pretty good.
In case any of you was wondering to how much it costs, it costs me RP. 360,000, which is approximately equivalent to $36.00. There are three more stylists under her (which means it will be more affordable), and two more above her (meaning, more expensive).

Here is a picture of my before and after:
(I wanted to take the after in the salon just like the before, but my mom was in a hurry :( So I had to take it in BB's house instead)

Good afternoon people! Sorry for never, OK, that's an overstatement, sorry fot not updating my blog. But um, fear not for I'm here! First of, as the title suggested, I'd like to blabber a bit about Sophie Kinsella's latest book, "Twenties Girl"

For very very few of you who didn't know, Kinsella is also the author for the famous "Confessions of a Shopaholic," and also happen to be my favourite author!

This book is different from that though, the story revolves around a woman named Lara, who happened to be leading a what she called "complicated life," she got dumped by her boyfriend that she still loved, her business partner went missing after she invested a lot of money in the partnership, and also, she has a family which she is not completely satisfied at. And if this weren't enough, the ghost of her 105 year-old great aunt has come and demanded for Lara to search for her necklace. However as the two spent time together, Lara discovered things she would have never discovered which could change her life forever.
No, I didn''t copy it from the back of the book - I swear. But um, if you are a fan of a light chick-lit, then this book might be a good companion for you :) Lo-ove it! Especially the leading man - Ed - who is oh-so-cute. I reckon that it should be a major motion picture!

Anyways, would be leaving for Seattle in 6 days :( Boohooooo..
