Books: Fiction

Jojo Moyes - Silver Bay

Jill Mansell - An Offer You Can't Refuse

Mariam Keyes - Anybody Out There

Alexander McCall Smith - Love Over Scotland

my sister just bought those books since she's had a project to review 10 English fictional novels. so she bought them at Times Bookstore. and indeed she should buy another 6 books. so I consider to buy the recent books I was craving for. I told her bout another 3 great novels that I knew from Pheby. lately, I figure that vampire is absolutely like a new hype in novels.

I'm off to eat. my sister just made a dinner for me. I'll post the review later..

au revoir!

Finally Posted

I just got back from Lellidewi, for having a treatment. we usually called it totok wajah in Bahasa. and this is the second time I'm having that treatment. I dont really understand what's the effect of this treatment but I love it! just visit the website if you want to know more and if you want to try it, you can visit the beauty salon at Jalan Limau I no. 38, Kebayoran Baru. me and my mother just got back from there. I was handled by the owner, Mam Lelli. yeah, maybe I should call her like that. we had a short conversation while I was handled by her. such as, she asked me where's my school and home, how many sibling do I have, where's my sister's university, and so on. but I really have no topic to chat, so and I just answered, giggled, and smiled to her. then after that I got masked and massage on feet.

well, before I went to Lellidewi, I went to Senayan City justtttt for buying oneandahalf's collection. buttttttttt, there's something stupid happened. I'm sure that I went to Fashion First. I entered the shop (or boutique?) well, I called it shop. then, I've been searching to the entire shop for finding them. and I didnt find anything looks alike Nikicio's. then, I asked the shop attendance about Nikicio and oneandahalf. do you want to know something? she doesnt even know what's Nikicio!! -.- so I went out from the shop and I emailed to oneandahalf. well, there's no reply but I'm sure they will reply it. I'll tell you later the response.

and yesterdayyyyyy, I went to the church for sure. since it was a Good Friday. tonight, I'll surely go to the church again. yes, since Thursday, I've gone to the church regularly.
I went to ex too with some of my friends to play bowling at Spincity. then, we ate at the tollroad's rest area. (we went to Karang Tengah tollroad just for eat! but it was fun. well.. for awhile it's fun) we ate A&W, I ordered the choco-waffel. I also learned how to drive a car that day.

ok, that's it. I'm not really in a good mood to post many thing and the photos.
:) thanks for reading and commenting on my posts. I appreciate it so much dear. thanks for leaving message on my cbox too.

love youuuuuuu all!!

Hello there,
If we may we know, which collection do you interested to buy? nikicio or oneandahalf?
Because we only sell oneandahalf collection in fashion first, which is the second line of nikicio collection.

Hope the information helps & please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further inquiries.

what do you think? and what should I do? aaaaaaaaa... I think I dont have much time to go to the mall again. due to the national exam and final exam is coming up.

it's 1:17 AM now. and it also means, HAPPY EASTER!!!

here I have two great quotations to be shared,
"Though our feelings come and go. God's love for us does not."
"I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish He didn't trust me so much."

once again, Happy Easter all. God Bless!

Tribute to Nina Garcia

this picture was published about 2 years ago.

Ninotchka Garcia as known as Nina Garcia, a fashion director of Marie Claire. actually, this picture is her project during her work at ELLE. she had spent her 13 years at there and had been a fashion director for the past 8 years. a job that I would love to take it, ofcourse.

her first book, The Little Black Book of Style that was released on 5 September 2007

and this is her second book, The One Hundred: A Guide to the Pieces Every Stylish Woman Must Own. actually, I am still waiting for her third book that many people told it will be come out soon in this September.

wanna look inside of the book?



I love the illustration!

I Actually Wanna Wear Them!

Nikicio's New Collection

I'm sure, this Saturday, I'll go to Senayan City- Fashion First, to get this awesome collection.

No More Stay Longer at Home

as you can see on my previous posts. I have a terrible English. my grammar to be exact. I just realized it today when I was at my TOEFL preparation class. we were discussing about nouns. the very basic one in this level and almost all of the students at my class understand and can answer the 'check your understanding' questions. about singular countable nouns, plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns. and also the irregular form of nouns. I just dont understand and can't find the difference between those sentences. horrible, yes it is.

I know I have to memorize them very well, like several is used for plural, various is for plural too, but I also have to remember that sometimes some and plenty of also used for countable plural nouns and nouns may refer to people or things. and so that I have to recognize the differences between the uncountable and the countable nouns. and find the mistaken words. but, come on! the others could do it. I just stressed (a bit) when I was at my TOEFL class this morning, learning some grammar and structure material though I love it. however, the students are friendly. well, I tell ya the truth, I desire for the next lesson I'll learn. dunno why.
and, what would my next course like to be.
my comment of my class: "it was fun!" really. I've got lots of outgoing new friends. yeah.. it's not really hard for me to mingle with them.

then, after that, I went to Wondershoe at Kemanggisan, near Mejiku distro. I bought a pair of shoes. yeeeeeeeees baby! finally! here's the shoes:


cause of my mom protested about the shoes (it got some scratch, but that's ok cause it's not really bad in appearance. I still can approve it.. but my mom looked like dissatisfied with the shoes, so dunno why the cashier give us a 'bonus' as an apology for the scratch on it. here's the 'bonus':

a free 35.000 IDR boys' sandals. tee-hee.

so I rate the distro about 4.5 out of 5! :)
anyway, visit Wondershoe's website or you can visit the store if you want. it is located at Kemanggisan Raya no. 103. there's a lot of stuff you can find for a reasonable price. (suddenly I become a promoter. is this ok? as my thankfulness for the good service, ahaa!)

after finished it. I went tooooo an 'abal' mall, near Taman Anggrek. y'all know. cause it's the only mall that has a Watsons store besides PIM and MKG (well, Kelapa Gading is too far from Kemanggisan and my home). so I visited it. I bought something there. well, that's a secret. I had my lunch at there too with my supermom. a cheap lunch with a veryyyyyy tasty food. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it makes me starving enough now for remembering the taste of that spicy chicken.

next, I went to a supermarket near from my home. bought lots of household thing. I bought so many snacks for my little cousins. I'm so excited to meet up with them. however, I cant give them cause my mom was afraid my chickenpox will spread to them. soooo, I still cant meet up with my cousins that day. maybe, either their mom will come to my home later or I'll go to their home to delivere these snacks next Saturday after course.

last but not least, Eva did some 'surprise' thing for me. she texted me she's on the way to my home by ojyek and she got some trouble, I dont know what it is cause she told me that she will explain me later. she texted me like that when I was in a call with Brigita. and not a long time after that, she really had arrived but she lied to me! she didnt get any trouble. she just got back from Senayan City cause she didnt get the tickets for Fast and Furious Movie, so she visited me accompanied by Adi and Renek. here's the proofs:



the bad guys and the pretty girls. :P


"haiiiii, akyu Reneeeeee. HIHIHIHIK!"

actually, I still have 2 photos when we were at Liana's home but forgive me I dont have one of them cause I forgot to bring my lovely smartphone. later I'll update this blog with photos and video (maybe).
video? yes it is true. I made a stupid video when they're at my home. I'll post it to my youtube, dunno when. but not now, due to the slow internet connection. just wait for my next post. I've prepared something for you yesterday.

au revoir!
