Coco Chanel Quotes

Hello :) It's the last day of August and i will try to share either my favorite quotes or personal thought that come across my mind and post it weekly. Coco Chanel quote turns up in the first place of my "Friday thought" this afternoon. These certain words remind me of my friend's story lately.

"It's probably not just by chance that I'm alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he's terribly strong. And if he's stronger than I, I'm the one who can't live with him... I'm neither smart nor stupid, but I don't think I'm a run-of-the-mill person. I've been in business without being businesswoman, I've loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I've loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I've done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice" -Coco Chanel

As for me one thing I always kept in mind, a woman is a helper. Doesn't matter who is stronger to rule over other. Love is about giving not possessing, rite? Have a fabulous weekend all!

Show your pride in a stylish way

Happy Independence day Indonesia! My beloved country....even sometimes not too beloved, but still I'm proud to be Indonesian in the midst of all negative issues. As for me, even just throwing my garbage into the can, it show my love to them if I may say. Or simply wearing local product. We hardly can ask government to make all of the good things to us, but I believe we can start from ourselves :)

Anyway today i wear my Garuda ring (GARING). This concept came up when i participate in Fimela anniversary event #Read2share merchandise, people can shop online and donate in a same time. How cool is that? :D For more info about Garing, you can visit my other blogspot (click here). Thanks my best crazy friend Carolina Budi Suwandi for making the blog beautiful. It hasn't been updated by me for quite long time...looking forward to widen it in bigger scale, with a same name or different name maybe. one thing, i love making it. Just have to put more effort towards I know :p

Lady Gaga unveils her first Perfume "FAME" with Tex Saverio

Hi lil monsters, i mean hi beautiful people :) I'm not a big fan of Lady Gaga... (sorry to dissapoint you...), BUT I always impressed in whatever she did. Or wore. Like now she just unveils her first ever black perfume called FAME. Again, Lady Gaga wore Tex Saverio's black dress in one of the scene. Specially made for her in only 2-3days if I'm not mistaken. Why again? FYI Gaga once wore Tex Saverio dress for Harper's Bazaar USA April 2011 photoshoot. Bravo Indonesian designer and Tex Saverio!!! Got the chance to meet him at couple glance for Dewi Fashion Knight JFW 2010 backstage and Magnum event last year in Senayan City. I'm as Stella Rissa team back then. For that short time of  meeting he's very nice and down to earth designer I can tell

For your curiosity about FAME video click (here) . Despite of her controversial things and often being criticised - you have to admit, she has style! Not forget to mention, she hit VOGUE US 2012 September issue too on cover. Just bough it via Newsstand today. 916 pages haha my definite must have read for this holiday. Go get yourself one :D

Open your heart's door

This photo was taken last week, after my sunday service at G2m church. In connection with the same day (Sunday), so I post it now :D Sorry for delay..

But today's highlight message is about Open your heart's door by Ps Rudi Chandra. There are two major forces in our life :
1) The power to Give Thanks, it'll draw the blessings
2) The power to Forgive, it'll destroy the schackles of sin, sickness, and bitterness
Hm last night Priscilla Halim shared a good thing that our heart cannot respond to two different things. Example, when we fill it with disappointment we hardly can be rejoice..either way when we fill it with joy, we hardly can feel downcast. So let's open our heart to these two things then may peace be with you all the time :)

Me and him, who manage opened my love's door *blushing*

Shades of blue

Blue has been my first rank of color now! Other than black and white - I consider them as a color even its not / never be, but they "color"ing my life so far if I may excuse :) ...also because the Olympic games is well discussed this month, I just feel its spark when I wear blue *cring-cring*

Anyway i visited Vani planning to get my school work done. Result : it hasn't finish yet :p Today i also visited Pizza Rakyat to get my happy belly. Result : mission accomplished.

Here's my tips: If we want to grab attention, use contrast color to accessorize our look (go for yellow, orange, or fuchsia). For a nautical look, choose white because it will make our look fresh. Instead of silver, use gold to elegance our shades of blue to reach it richness.

What blue are you?

Manado for family getaway

Yayyy I finally had family getaway last week to Manado, North Sulawesi, Indonesia. It was so BEAUTIFUL, indeed! Would love love love to go back someday perhaps with Alex Donald Sanger...FYI he is Manadonese (mix chinese) but never set his foot there *someday we will dear :) Anyway, if you want to or plan to going there someday here is my go list, hope it'll suit you :

1) Bunaken for snorkeling or diving

2) Tandu Rusa at Bitung, meet Tarsius (read: the smallest monkey in the world)

3) Waruga Sawangan, ancient tomb of Minahasa people

4) Bukit Doa Kelong, they have interesting amphitheater

5) Pagoda Ekayana

6) Bukit Kasih Kanonang, symbol of five religion

7) Danau Linow at Desa Lahendong, many people said it can change color due to alga and the sunlight, unfortunately I arrived in the evening so not much I can tell about the magic color. But the place itself was very sheen plus there's a small cafe perfect for tea/coffee. I would say this is Rock Bar ala Manado.

8) For your happy belly : Ria Rio Kalase (dinner), San Fransisco Restaurant (dinner), RM Danau Tondano (lunch), Tinoor Jaya at Desa Tinoor (dinner)
