a little update

Hello…
I know I didn’t submit anything for quite sometimes now. Actually there’s been much going on and I drafted few writings too. But as I mention before, I’m preparing something bigger.
I hope you don’t mind. As for tiny pretty peek, here’s few thing I’ve prepared inside my drawer:
- Event review on Keuken #2 Last Sunday. Will be way too late to publish later but well… ^^
- A peek on now blossoming facebook dress-up game
- Review and recommendation on applications I use
- Something from the crafty room (old & new)
- And of course, a brand new home…
Can’t wait!

ketika anak-anak bercerita lewat karya

Hari Minggu lalu, jalan Raden Patah yang terletak persis di antara Ngopi Doeloe dan Resto Cabe Rawit, dua venue populer kawasan Dago, nampak sesak oleh kendaraan. Dari kejauhan terlihat barisan kakak-kakak fakultas seni dan desain berbagai universitas di Bandung tengah mengisi kegiatan. Mereka adalah para pengagas Open Your Heart Studio. Sebuah studio yang mengabdikan diri pada pendidikan anak-anak kurang mampu di bawah koridor seni. Tepat di rumah nomor 12 yang akrab disapa Galeri Gerilya itulah, bernaung sebuah pameran kolektif anak-anak Panti Asuhan Mitra Muslim Bandung.

Pameran ini merupakan puncak rangkaian kegiatan workshop selama dua tahun penuh. Diawali dengan workshop gambar. Kemudian diwujudkan dalam mural di Kebun Binatang Bandung pada 2009, dibawah bimbingan kakak-kakak dari FSRD ITB dibantu oleh Cikcuk Dunia Fantasi & The Yellow Dino sebagai mentor. Perjalanan Open Your Heart Studio dalam membimbing anak-anak Mitra Muslim membawa mereka pada pengalaman “belajar” dan “mempelajari” yang baru. Tidak hanya mengajarkan untuk berkarya, Open Your Heart Studio mengajarkan sesuatu yang jauh lebih berharga, berani untuk bermimpi.

Dibawah tajuk “Cita Cerita Kami,” pameran ini adalah cerminan mimpi anak-anak. Berangkat dari rasa ragu saat mencoba mencoretkan garis gambar di atas kertas, hingga menjelma menjadi kupu-kupu cantik yang terbang menjelajah langit luas.

decorating valentine at home

Ayayay, valentine is coming to town! It’s February now, and lovers out there can’t wait to grab a handful of chocolate & flower bouquet. A candle light dinner will beautifully wrap the day.

But what happens if you’re married, having child & cannot go outside because you can’t leave the child alone? Well it happened to me back in 2005. I was almost a val-day abuser then. Can’t leave the day without celebrating. When it happened, I decided to bring the party inside. I always love crafting and a bit cooking, so I add my own touch to things I find inside the house, or kept since highschool hours (Yeess, I love collecting kawaii goods too :p). If it happens to you, hope what I did inspired you in a way or another

new day will rise (a leftover story)

I never too comfortable to share my own life story and there’s actually not much to tell too ^^ I always feels like my life ain’t for public to see. And there would be no fun reading it too since I’m more like a home-person. But the main reason of my introverted act is probably this…

Long ago…I’ve been social, I’ve been talkative, but there are also times where i feel insecure and (maybe) too introvert. I call it the dark times, which is just recently. As I mention some in my blog, something bad has happened to the family that shattered us apart. No, thankfully it wasn’t Dinofam. sadly, its bigger than both of us. That story caused me and probably anyone in the family to shut the door tight. At some point, I even grew paranoia. I removed every pictures of me, anything about my life and my story, and stop posting so much at soc-med. I start being too gloomy and sad. Not like I’ve never been gloom before, but it is just tiring. I stop believing there’s good in anything. Skeptical, that’s how I became. Sometimes some fairytale wont even thrill me anymore. As if there’s anything good happen, something awfully bad must’ve followed them from the start.

Now after two years and more…things start to get better. The darkness that fall upon my head starting to fade among the mighty universe. and I thank Allah for that. I guess every fallout has a purpose afterall. At least it help me grow & become stronger. Although not completely gone, I feel a lot of burden & paranoia is slowly away. Now, after the colors are back into my life, I wanna start something new. I wanna challenge myself to not afraid to share my life story anymore. To be able to attach more into my own blog & laugh hard when I read it again in my 80′s (as if I’d live that long ;p)

So here I am. Now after I resigned, I got the time to start doing my long-planned ideas. And Imma start making new life for the blog as my first step. Will take a biiiig preparation for it. Wish me luck & hope to connect with you more in the future

tv kabel story: aora tv

Sejak selasa lalu ada hiburan baru di sarang dino. Yaaa, setelah wii dan teman-teman konsolnya, ditambah segudang komik dan kawan-kawan, mulai hari ini dinofam punya tv kabel! haha, telat banget ya.

Tadinya sih kita ga kepengen masang tv kabel, dan selalu menemukan alasan buat ga pasang. Tapi~ setelah saya resign & banyak dirumah saya baru ngeh, ternyata siaran tv lokal di siang hari ini ga banget! makin aneh, ga jelas dan tentu saja tidak mendidik.
Nah, setelah brainstorming (ciee, serasa mau bikin karya haha) sama papadino..search sana-sini. Sekaligus mempertimbangkan kebutuhan kita, akhirnya kita tetapkan pilihan sama 3 provider: Aora TV, TOP TV & Yes TV. Tadinya kita mau ambil Indovision, ikutan adik ipar yang udah duluan pake ini. Tapi dihitung-hitung kok ga worth ya. Soalnya banyak paketnya yang kita ga perlu..pluuus kalo berhenti sebelum 1th, indovision mengenakan penalti 500-600rb *d’oh

sarindo, i hope we’ll never meet again!

my relationship with sarindo is like an old-fashioned story-book. on/off before marriage. Only in my case with Sarindo, I wish it to be on/off before end :p

Yea as I mention before, my iphone has been wrecked twice. First only 4days after she came outta the store. I try to take a pic but the camera just freeze & never cameback. Papadino brought it to Sarindo (my first date & argument with sarindo apparently). 2 weeks later she got off good & all set. thank God.

Bu~t, then just about 1 week & a half later, she start acting up again. This time, she shows black spots everywhere. And her screen starts to shake, like in discolight. Papadino had to take her to Sarindo again (2nd, hopefully the last ^^). Aaand almost 1month and so later, she’s back. All new! yaay!

Apparently, they hear what Papadino said and decided to give me a new phone. Well, I think it is wise since the first has already messed up twice. All with awful problem. So thanks, Sarindo. Err…though it will be much much better if Telkomsel would kindly replace my 2months wasted net-connection etc. yeah, i guess its too much to ask of ‘em..haha.
Anyway, good to have my phone back. Its almost a month since I got her back, now I’m ready for bussiness! yipee
