the one that got away

tadi siang baru mendengarkan curhatan seorang sahabat,
gak menyangka hati ini bakal ikut pedih..
abis itu, ngedenger lirik lagu ini, kayaknya kok pas..

hey, i just found this out!
sooo flattered :">

the page on the link above is from a friend's blog.
you may take a walk on hers ;)
if you see the badges on her page, it is quite bold that she's very interested in crafting.
let me introduce you to my friend, pipie.


smile indeed is the best cure :)

scrapbook

i started to love scrapbook so much!
but i prefer scrapbooking digitally because it saves so much. haha.
mostly, for freebies you can download the theme kits.
like the ones in shabbyprincess.
in a kit contains some paper with different patterns,
including its accessories like buttons, ribbon, paperclips, flowers, leaves
and many more.
you can combine them anyway you like it by using photoshop.

here is one of my work,
i tried to make some e-invitation for my big day.
it might become a spoiler so i put a watermark on it. :D

so what do you think? ;)

new year's morning

in the very first morning of the year we went for brunch.
we woke up early because we didn't stay up late for NYE thingy.

this place is my favorite restaurant.
they open up every branch for different themes one to another.
this one is "library".
i've been to 3 of their 7 branches.
in fact, i'm so in love with their pancakes
especially blueberry cheese roll and potato pancake.
you should try it!

behind the scene

last week we did our first photoshoot for you-know-what. :D

let me show you some pictures from behind the scene.
it also become your sneak-a-peek, right?

i wanna say thank you a big big bunch to the photographer, nanu, for taking all of the photos delightedly.
thank youuu nanuuuu... :)

Tuhan, ini kah cobaannya?

the daisypath ticker at the bottom of my blog says it's 5 months 3 days away from my big day when i'm writing this..
but right now, in my very life, i feel this is the lowest and weakest point of my life.
so, is this it?
is this the obstacle, the temptation that everyone talk about when we're getting closer to the day?
not only about the relationship,
but the WHOLE things.
i feel like my whole world is ruined.

God.. i'm so weak..

i realize that everything that's been mine,
all of it is actually Yours.
and You may take it back anytime You want..

i'm sorry for not being grateful lately..
especially this whole year..
i realize that in this entire year
i'm totally a mess..
nothing's good have come out of me..

God.. please give me strength..
please please please take this anxiety away
from every thought that popped up from my head..
from every guts from my heart..
please give me power to accept Your Will whole-heartedly..
in every step that i take..
in every second of my life..

my khitbah 05.11.11

for those who don't quite familiar with the word 'khitbah',
maybe you know it as 'lamaran' in indonesian.
engagement? maybe.
but my family don't wanna call it engagement.
because 'engagement' --with ring-- is very un-moslem culture *sorry, not racist, this is my family's opinion*
otherwise that night we replaced the ring with a bracelet
and only me who wear it, my bf of course doesn't.

the purpose of the khitbah it self, was to propose me by his parents.
and why was this occasion involved a lot of people, because
it's also the way to tell people that my dad's daughter, me,
had been proposed by someone, my bf,
so that someone else can't also propose me again.
that night, it indeed involved a lot of people,
beside my big family and his, there were also my friends and my neighbors.

in the beginning of the event,
i was seated at different room,
until i answered the proposal, i was allowed to came out.
well, i had the most awkward moment
when the microphone was given to me and i had to answer.
i tell you, it was indeed awkward. haha.

alhamdulillah the event went well.
usually, in this kind of event, they decide the date of wedding day.
but in my situation, we did it just for formality, haha
yeah you know that nowadays, the date is decided by when the venue of the wedding can be booked.

hopefully, everything will be going well until the big day..!! :)
amin..
insya allah..
