After googling about it, turns out I have to re-upload them ALL! Greaaatttt!  -________-

If You Love Someone, Let Them Know

Watched Marley & Me for the second time yesterday and bawled my eyes out AGAIN -actually worse than the first time since I have Hyde now and they are both Labrador, so it's easier to visualize that Hyde was the one going through all that. Urghhh cannot imagine how devastated I will be when the time comes.

I do have this fear of losing loved ones. When I was a kid, every time my parents came home late, I would always freak out and think of the worst, then praying the whole night until they return safely. I also used to pray to God to take me first before my family members -but not anymore since my friend told me it was a very selfish request, that it would be even harder for parents mourning over their child.

Heaven knows the more we are attached to something, the more painful it will be when we are separated from it. But I guess as long as we let our loved ones know we love them and we care about them, there should be no regrets or a guilty feeling. :)

(Gee, didn't know this would turn out to be a melancholy post.)

Hyde the Puppy

Hyde (Japanese pronounciation: Hai-doh) is a Kintamani-Labrador puppy whom our brother got from his friend when he was already 3 months old. Here's a brief story about how we got him in the first place. Christian (our brother's friend) said that his dad wanted to slaughter Hyde and made him a Satay for God's sake. He then became a hero and offered our bro the puppy! Kind of Fate because at that time our brother was looking for one, and we ourselves have never even thought about having a puppy before because we live in an apartment and we thought a dog would be too much to handle, BUT one day Hyde just came into our life. Like a boss. :')

He is blond and he has very soft, cotton-like hair! Mad love it when:
  • He strolls around and his hair touches our feet coincidentally
  • He stops whatever he's doing to make an eye contact with us (and of course going back to whatever he's doing but nevermind lah)
  • He feels tired and he will immediately lay down like a rug
  • He chooses to sleep beside us, curled-up!
  • He licks our face like there is no tomorrow (a big lick to the face is a sign of affection and closeness - googled)!
With Hyde, our days have been filled with "Aww..." "Ohhh..." and so on.
Oh, we just love him so much!

Sweet Lace


Hello lovely readers!
How do you feel today? If you feel sweet and feminine just like I did on the day these photos were taken, then there is no better way to express it other than wearing (anything) Lace! Especially in white color. Black lace is more of a sexy and classy look, I guess.

Cute bag Jess bought from Singapore.
White Heart Lace Stockings so dreamy
The details of my dress. I especially love the wooden buttons!! :)
Some inspirations for wearing white lace:

By the way, today is my babygirl's birthday!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY dear Ms. Jenna Thania! Xo

Simplicity


Hello lovelies! Finally I have the time to blog about this beautiful studded-collared top I got from Dahlia Fashion, an online clothing store based in UK. I really love the cutting and the way it clings to my body –plus the studded collar which gives a little edge to the outfit!

As you can see in this photo, the fabric is actually sheer but not very thin, so you just need to wear a nude colored bras under the shirt if you are not a fan of see-thru. Anyway, what a perfect fabric for Jakarta's hot weather!

Do check out their website here for more lovely collections ;)


Wearing a red hair bow to add color to my outfit. :)
