You are what you will

It's amazing what you can do on purpose. Stop waiting to "feel" like it and make your mind up that "I will."

Such uplifting and inspiring quote from Joyce Meyer today... Follow her on twitter for truly encouragement words. She's a role model!

How many times do we begin our day saying "I feel like doing______ (fill in blank)", "I think I______(fill in blank)". Look no further this is one of my 'wrestling' too between my feeling, what I will do and what I do. People said success is 99% willingness + 1% talent , tell me are you agree with this? Well... now I'm working on that 99% and for that single percent, more than I believe our God is a Creator, of course by saying that it means He is creative (He created many things including me and you :)), let's keep stimulate our creativities everyday. I will. Will you?

I've got some homework and 'housework' last night. Here it is...

Sewing lesson

And for my 'housework' I was making "Bruchoco", chocolate bruschetta with papaya's topping
How to eat?
1) Eat bread and apple fondue at the same time
2) Finish the remain sauce with your finger (make sure nobody's watching)
For the home made sauce, it was easy and not expensive at all. All you have to prepare is meses choco + peanut butter (personal taste) + 3 spoon of fresh milk, in this case I use bear brand. Mix it together with hot temperature, until you get consistency that you want.. Voila!

My class

I'm trying to photograph what is essentially invisible in my class

Hope it'll give you a glimpse... Enjoy

And today, a good friend of mine text me : "Pernah kepikiran men design celana d**** pria ga cyn?" #RANDOM

Welcome little brother

Today Alvin Rudiyanto my little brother has just arrived from Sydney, Australia. Me and my dad pick him up at Soekarno Hatta Airport. He paid a visit to Indonesia in the framework of his semester break..and we're planning go to Manado next week, claim for a family holiday at last *wohoo*. Feels good have all family gather around to bond with each other, isn't it? Anyway I took Alvin to SKYE tonight - it was a privilege listening his story from study, work, ministry and love...of course :D All I can say is: "I'm a proud sister!"

White tshirt from Forever21, Vintage short black (linen lame), Mom's black pashmina, Balenciaga city black bag, Sasya shoes from STELLARISSA

Nude Sasya Shoes from STELLARISSA , very comfy indeed and it's available to order :)

My third visit, finally taking these famous landscape view

It is a matter of proportions

doc: @GiulianaRancic 

I've found these amazing (read: amazeballs) image from @GiulianaRancic twitter account when she was in Paris. Isn't it lovely? Am inspired! someday i might use this as reference to do a fashion shoot. Speaking of GR, I think she's the perfect example of an American girl who's living their dream. She had incredible fighting spirit \m/ that carried her to next level of her life and career. When she came to US she couldn't speak english fluently but look at her now hosting E news, Fashion Police, and many more. Last year she went through "double mastectomy" period (a medical term of surgical operation to remove both breasts) while trying to have a baby. Yes, she was in early stage of breast cancer :( But now after facing her giant, she decided to get up and still doing her job normally. I heard she's waiting for a baby-born (through carrier) in August/September'12 *like I know her so well* lol
More about GR please go to: http://www.giulianarancic.com

A little statement from her after she had that surgery :

"When I got my job at E!, I was the 39th person who auditioned. I wasn't the prettiest, I wasn't the smartest, I wasn't the most talented. And I always wondered why I got the job," Giuliana, 37, says. "Now I think God knew I wouldn't be a selfish little cow with this platform, and I'd actually try to do something good with it." -source: www.USMagazine.com

We all can be on top someday, be above any other person around (in our workplace, community, or class group) and nothing's wrong with it just when you have right attitude and gratitude to stay. Cause when you feel down, and seems nothing left behind to be proud, you can always go back and build again from what you have within. Like Coco Chanel once said "Fashion is architecture. It is a matter of proportions."

Strong platform keep the object to stay solid (doc: my personal #Nice #Eurotrip)

"Thanks for teaching me how to drink juice without sugar, Mom"

Carry forward my story 2 days ago about greetings competition (Thank you Mom), finally the announcement came out today! *cheering myself* Fyi, waktu itu ternyata saya salah denger (pasti sinyal HP haha) , instead of 5 besar ternyata maksud orangnya itu saya masuk 25 besar. Cukup signifikan kalau hadiahnya pergi ke Bali.

Dan.....teng..teretet.......tet... I made it just to be their top ten finalist, yet I felt so GRATEFUL :) :) Across in my mind quote "Ability attract Ability", I attract the ability being in a big five finalist yesterday, and here I am. What is attract you these day? Keep positive and have faith, it might be something you will get later on

Oh about the quote... honestly my first thought would be googling some mother quotes and try to revamp. But I find it difficult to relate with my true feeling. I began to think what so unique habbit my mom has taught me. "Gak usah pakai gula ya ci!" I directly said to my self "wah, sesuatu...". Dan ternyata 'sesuatu' yang dari hati dan gak dibuat-buat benar-benar bisa memberi dampak bagi orang lain (at least bisa terpilih dari 718 peserta - really makes me feel good). Thanks Jesus, thanks beautiful Mom Herawaty Rudijanto and thanks buat 'sesuatu'

Back to the event , held at xxi lounge Plaza Senayan and start from 11am - 2pm. Actually there was some talk show before I came but I had Bunka class until 12 o'clock... As for the rest there were some singers like Popsel and Randy Martin (me and my boyfriend try googling who is this Randy and we ended up Joyful if you know what I mean). To cut long story short, i'll give you some picture to see...

Top 10 finalist with Yayuk Basuki

Me and my hero 

Alex Donald Sanger is be there to support me *blushing*

Very random stuff


Last but not least, I want you also experience this moment. Hour ago I tweet : "but when we get blessings, there's a certain satisfaction when you sharing it with others. Probably with you?"

I prepared a little gift if you might interested, just leave any comment for this post... The first one will get it :D

Printed goody bag with graphic vector :

Beauty pouch, pantene shampoo&conditioner, head&shoulders, a pen

I saw excitement

Such a gloomy day when I woke up this morning, a timid sun over window and clouds wearing it's crown. The bed is calling me over and over again... But I decided to get up and greet the day (hello!)

I saw excitement

My intriguing bedroom

Hungry yet excited, I mixed up what's left in refrigerator and feel like doing something to US *apa hubungannya coba* So I made my-July4th-meal (pic)

My fireworks brunch

And tonight I had a date with Cindy Yuanita, long time no see makin kurus dia :o stress kayaknya pindah lagi ke Jakarta  *peace* We're having our Pancious moment at Plaza Indonesia, doing convos about future and Bangkok perhaps? lol. But before that, we stop by to look "Fashion Blogger-Pop up store" @ 4th floor Main Atrium. Tomorrow is the last day anyway if you want to come... My eyes captured 'Less and More', well tailored and one of the owner I know is Heidy Kalalo by chance. She's nice and talented :)

Where's the traffic eh? :(

My first day: Bunka Fashion

My weapon at Bunka School of Fashion, Jakarta

Malu bertanya sesat di jalan, sudah bertanya sesat di rambu

As good as I read google maps and predict the traffic, peraturan lalu lintas jam 06.00 - 10.00 pagi memang kurang bersahabat (baru sadar setelah 2 taun di Jakarte, at least... hahaha). You just can't go somewhere without learning something lol

Heading to the second floor, it was pretty cozy and fortunately the class just started. Got a goody bag with bunch of stuff (pic). You know... part of this going back-to-school-time is meeting new people rite? Today I met Vanny 18y.o and Febby 19y.o - haven't got any chance catching up with others, but this is enough to wake me up. How OLD are you Cynthia. and not forget to mention we learn about measurement and made skirt pattern today, yay ;) More about Bunka Fashion Jakarta click here

Later on, I got a call from Fimela team telling me that I'm in their top 5 finalist for the Greetings Competition. I was so excited! And directly bbm my mom explained about it. About two weeks ago, randomly i read tweet about the competition from @fimeladotcom and the next thing I know I submitted the quote (The requirement is about expressing your love and gratitude to your Mom - they'll pick 3 winner which will be flown to Bali). The event and winner announcement will be held this Sat at PS *finger cross saudara saudara*
