It's JULY!!!

Lalalala... Summer school holiday, super-crowded theme parks, people making love to the sun and getting tanned, girls with bikinis playing volleyball at beaches.. yeah boys, in your dreams! --> cause this is Indonesia! haha!

JULY also equals Wedding season!
summer wedding dresses, pretty white flower arrangement, candles in the warm night.. sounds perfect rite?
*ehem* sounds scary for some, sounds wonderful for others. in this case, i can only say that i'm happy for those who has finally found someone to love and to live their whole life with.

I went to a wedding last Saturday in Bogor. A wedding of my dear friends, Chikha and Ruben. After a year of heavy preparation, they finally celebrate their wedding with a funky theme: Jeans! :) although i'd say that the event space was rather glamourous.. the wedding party itself was laid-back. Get rid of the formal gown and tuxedo! let's be casual.

For a start, Chikha gave us her girlfriends jeans textile to work on our personal denim dresses. and these are the dresses (pls excuse for the lo-def picture, blackberry style), all pretty and fab after a long exhausting and emotional fight with the tailor. not for me tho, mine's is made by my mom. totally customized and fit to my voluptuous proportion.

pretty women, aight! ;)

i'll update the pic as soon as a better one come along - the one that goes down to our high heels!

The guests (esp. the men) were also very comfortable walking around in their jeans and still looking handsome in their shirt, mostly in white. The mothers of the bride and the groom also looked stunning with their dress-gown, and seemed to be a funky proud parents. The party was so swell that it got into the local media in Bogor: Jurnal Bogor :)

So, congrats again for you two. Best of luck for your marriage, dear.

July is my favourite month of the year.. because it's my birth month too ;) *hint*

February 14, or as most people refer as Valentine's Day is the day for lovers, for love, for teens, when any irrational (read = utterly stupid) actions are allowed and considered in the forbidden name of love. It also means a lot of candy hearts and "I-Love-You"s and fluffy pink stuffs which badly pokes me in the eyes.

So I rather spent my Feb 14 with friends. Let me describe the ambient: my all time favourite Javachip Frappe tasted so indulging in my tongue, while we girls blabbered about good things (and bad things, too) as the smooth live jazz music soothed our ears.
Too bad Ari couldn't tag along.

Ck came with these cute cupcakes :)
Rasanya pengen diliat2in aja.. gak usah dimakan.

/KILL!
Seperti kata Zee, kita emang lebih jago pose camen daripada pose manis.

Oh, here's something cute i found while browsing at Zee's journal. This post is too good i am obliged to re-post it here.
Medically Speaking of Love by Zee.
When the object of my affection walks by...
This is what I feel:
My heart falls into my stomach and splashes my innards. All the moisture makes me sweat profusely. When the brain burns out altogether, the mouth disengages and I babble like a cretin until he leaves.
*sayup sayup terdengar lagu it's good to be in love by Frou Frou*

I am content that i decided to spend the day with you guys.
God knows how h e a v y my heart that day...

After spending my previous weekend on bed rest... [Uhm, well not exactly since i bought some pairs of shoes in between my bedrest :P] i spent my weekend with the 'usual' people. This time around, i dragged them all to sleepover at my house hahaha

We, as in ck rb jono and i, started the day wandering and not wandering around in Bogor. Ngacak2 rumah rb, ke tajur nyari tas [sial, belum kutemukan yang kuinginkan!], dan makan tentunya. Tapi ya namanya tukang nongkrong, udah ampe bogor juga ending2nya bertengger di Starbucks juga wahahahahaha.. Enak, empuk, ujan pula. Benernya kurang tambahan heater berjalan aja :P

Bukti keberadaan kami di Starbucks Bogor.
Detik-detik menjelang tidur di sofa.

Then Chemonk joined the group at dinner. Dede joined soon afterwards.
Dengan mobil ruben dan kursi laknatnya itu, melajulah kami menjemput jono pulang kerja jam 12 malam! Ber6 satu mobil apa muat? Tentu saja! Kan dd chemonk kecil2 hehehe

Too bad sev ppl couldn't join us, or else it would've been even crazier XD

Pff. It'll be kinda weird not going to spend my next two weekends with them.
damnit i miss you guys already.
:|

It's almost midnight on October 27...

Tiga manusia Bogor, Ruben Dede n Chemonk, menjemput saya di perempatan dekat rumah. Maklum, rumah saya di jalan buntu dan mobilnya Ruben agak terlalu panjang untuk putar balik di dekat rumah. Dari rumah saya kita meluncur menjemput Ari di daerah antah berantah yang tidak saya kenal di Tangerang. Ngelewatin "Tangerang City" lah pokoknya.

Mobil pun melaju lagi ke arah Karawaci. Beli donat sejenak somewhere along the way, lalu melaju lagi. "Hampir jam 12 nih!", katanya. Dengan agak-agak nge-drift sedikiiiiiit, kita pun sampai dengan selamat di Karawaci.

Tiba-tiba kita menengok ke arah kiri. Hmmm... sepertinya ada mobil yang kita kenal... hmmm.. tapi waktu menunjukkan jam 12 kurang 5 menit. GO GO GO! Dan sampailah kita di rumah yang dituju.

Sedikit kongkalingkong dengan Sasha, adik si penghuni rumah, dan masuklah kita rame-rame tanpa bersuara.

SURPRISE!!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHIKHA!

Alhasil, si nona pun terharu ^^

Setelah makan kue dan donat dan ngobrol dan saling mengejek, pulanglah kita jam 3 subuh ke rumah masing2 :)

update!
Ya Ampyuuuuuuuuuuun ketinggalah satu biji anggota! YANTO!
OMIGOOOOD ampe mutung berat anaknya hahahahaha
Maap yaaaaaah :P bener2 lupa cong!

Jok mobil ruben memang laknat!

Saya bisa duduk diam dan tiba-tiba molooooor dalam sekejap. Mungkin karena didukung perut kenyang setelah makan Ngo Hiang [五香], plus alunan music jazz kental dari Bubi Chen, plus cuaca Bogor-Jakarta yang cukup mendukung alias mendung, plus ayunan mobil meluncur lancar di jalan tol...

Ngo Hiang - kombinasi "some-kind-of-lumpia-resemblance" Babi dan Ayam +
tahu + kentang + acara lobak + sambal +
saos agak-agak rasa kacang encer yang manis dan mantafff!

Saya bertemu dengan beberapa teman dari Bogor setelah menghadiri kondangan ala Batak [bff-nya Ck] dengan baju baru harga miring yang hasil shopping di TA [lagi2 dengan wanita yang sama], makan BK Mushroom Swiss yang membuat super ketagihan lagi dan lagi dan lagi :P~ [nah, klo yang ini udah merasuk ke mimpi dari minggu lalu - senasib sama ruben!! wakakakaka].

Puas ke gereja di Bogor [sayang sekali pemandangan kurang memuaskan malam itu, tapi intinya ke greja kan mo ketemu Tuhan ya?]... bilas2 dll sepakatlah kami untuk jalan kaki ke mall terdekat. Alhasil kita beramai-ramai nonton LASKAR PELANGI :D ah syenang akhirnya kesampean juga.
I think it's one of the best Indonesian movies ever made!

Lalu beranjaklah kami memuaskan nafsu tengah malam!!
Apalagi klo bukan makan ROTI BAKAR hahahahaha :P Duduklah kami sambil melihat manusia-manusia malam Bogor adu balap motor dan mobil liar... Saya sambil makan Roti Pisang Coklat Keju! *sluuuurp* Beberapa manusia temannya teman saya ikutan masuk keluar warung tenda roti. Adalah yang botak lucu lewat, temennya Chemonk. Kata Dede, dia mah PK. Ha ha ha *tertawa sinis* bukannya semua cowo emang PK?

There were few downs during my little visit to Bogor that i wont write here. It's quite sad, quite brokenheartening, and quite annoying.

So, what's the moral of this story?
Jok mobil Ruben memang laknat!
