Hello 2013

Hello people. How's your 2013 has been? Pardon me for not updating me blog, I was in a coma (ok i am just exaggerating, not a real coma) and decided to just stepped away from blog and such for a while. school papers and assignments were piling up in both my laptop and book like crazy, forcing me to study and work even harder for them. for 2012, the result was great for two quarters while the other recent twos were kinda bumpy. I got C for the first time in a desperately-not-so-important subject however I thank God that I was able to maintain my gpa above 3.00 because grades are still important for me. 

Talking about 2013, I nearly forgot to extend "MERRY CHRISTMAS 2012 and HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013" to you guys. Let us begin (or should I say, CONTINUE...DUH :D) this 2013 by becoming much more excited and passionate in every single thing we do. =) 

I will not talk or explain much in this post, however I will share pictures from my Instagram account that I took from July 2012 to January 2013. Instagram has helped me a lot in extending my passion; both traveling and taking photos. So, here you guys. Enjoy the photos and if you want, follow my Instagram at @ladida89. Till then, God bless! ;)

Columbia University, New York. taken in Summer - July 2012.

I was in the mood for some sun at the beach ;) essential kits that I brought to beach in Long Island, New York. taken in Summer - July 2012.

Fall season meaning time to enjoy warm dessert like this Nutella Crepe I got at Crepe Cafe in Bryant Park. taken in Fall - November 2012.

Fall also means a season of weirdness. It is supposed to be a bit colder but weather in NYC is always weird. I could hit the road with a shirt, a sweater, and a capri jeans with flats since it was only 15-16c/60F. taken in Fall - Sept/Oct 2012.

What a blessing being able to witnessed the most awaited concert of 2012. Barbra Streisand Live in Brooklyn. so far it was the most expensive concert I have ever attended and I will always cherish it for the rest of my life. taken in Fall - October 2012.

living in NYC meaning having a chance to experience something that only occurs once in a lifetime. like this exhibition made by Tatsu Nizhi with the Christopher Columbus' statue located at Columbus Circle, West 59th st. taken in Fall - November 2012.

surprisingly this H&M leather flats is pretty comfy! taken in Fall - September 2012.

I was on holiday for a while and this view was taken from my seat inside Emirates Boeing 777-300. taken in Winter - December 2012.

Had this at Sushi Tei Pavilion Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Tobiko sushi is always a must to bite on for me. LOL. taken in December 2012.

tropical fruits. cheap and yummy. at Petaling Streets market, KL, Malaysia. taken in December 2012.

I paid a visit to this capital of New York state. a small city called Albany with its amazing winter weather and architecture. taken in Winter - January 2013.

outfit snaps from hometown

hello readers,

happy valentine's day 2012!

must be so lame..lol..nope not that lame..

I just had chance to update this blog again. Frankly I have no idea why I had became such lazy-ass person when it comes to updating blog. maybe because I am not in the mood? dunno.

Ok. I will share some photos of my outfit in the later post. mostly taken in my hometown.

Till then..God bless! :)

Hi Ho Hi Ho

Phew..2012 is here.. Happy New Year and Happy Chinese New Year 2563 as well!

Gong Xi Fa Cai!

Sorry for the absent. You have no idea how tiring it was..

Anyway,

will resume posting soon.. and by the way, seems that every website is gonna change their policy thing. including my access to Blogger which sort of undeniably difficult. Oh well, welcome to the world of frivolity!

PS: i like the word 'frivolity'... have no idea why but I liked it.. :D

Surprise Surprise =)

Probably it is true with the proverb some said. What was meant to be for us it will happen to us or we will get what we wish for no matter how long the time we have to wait. And to end the conclusion...

Surprise Surprise... after God-knows sooo many months or probably years of saving, deep discussion with other experts, and much consideration; I bought my very first D-SLR camera...=)

the best Christmas purchase ever... Canon EOS Rebel T2i or 550 D with Lens Kit

I had been snapping some test pictures with it and the results were amazing. I even lowered the mega-pixel to 8 Mega-pixel and still it did not disappoint. ;) as a photography enthusiast, I definitely will save money for other variant of lenses. 

speaking of gifts, I got a $20 voucher from Shoe Buy which I used to purchase this beautiful Keds shoes! Thank you Shoe Buy and Keds! best Christmas miracle indeed =)

And ooh I also got free 20 pages of Photo Book from Shutterfly! because of my contribution on Trip Advisor site! Thank God :)

Tomorrow night, I will go for a 2 weeks holiday in Jakarta. Can't believe I am going back home again. Flight departs at 8 PM ET sharp. so... 

Merry Christmas 2011 and Happy New Year 2012 in advance! =) GOD BLESS YOU ALL!

It's the most wonderful time of the year... dum dum dum...

Christmas is just 8 more days and New Yorkers are excited already with exchanging gifts, the joyful Christmas tunes they listen and hum around town.. ah what a splendid holiday season ever... yet we must not forget that Christmas is the moment to rejoice Jesus' birth not just gifts and mistletoe and holly and decorations. I always thank God each minute each second every time I go anywhere even to the grocery store nearby my apartment for the blessings I received since the day I was born. HE never puts me down =)

Anyway...talking about outfit... I wore triple layers for Christmas celebration last December 3rd 2011 held at a church somewhere in New York. Those colors may seem 'dull' but I just loved to wore stuff that was truly outside my box.. haha talk about business' vocabulary..:P

outfit : hat - H&M, black turtleneck - Worthington, loose outerwear - H&M, badge - church donation, necklace - Moselle, skirt - Topshop, black faux fur legging - JC Penney, gray tights - Zara, flat - Tory Burch

PS: not really that fun when the weather hit somewhere 30-36 F at night.. lol

God bless -)
