The scatterbrained is back in action

And she doesn't know when to stop. Oh well, let's see what's gonna happen in a year.

But first: where's a goddamn coffee shop?

Have you ever just sit down and thinking about how amazing japanese crime novels are?

Because I do. All the time.

Fun Friday: Revamping 2012

So I found my prom dress and that dress I wore during beauty pageant back in 2012 and I decided to revamp my look a little bit (also, new hurrcut throwback to high school me is perfect for that).


Senior Prom dress.



Pageant dress

I recently turned 21

--last Sunday. No one remembered because I deleted my facebook and I didn't give heads up that my birthday was coming and also my parents forgot it like, every single year. It was the laziest, most relaxing Sunday on my life and I love the fact that people you thought as friends, needed loud reminder of the celebration of your 'one year closer until the natural selection finish you off' big day. But also I think it's because I already breath out the air of 'i think birthday is repulsive' and people just roll with it.

Current obsession: taking shameless pictures

(let's review that look: $40 leather jacket, $10 plaid sneakers, $6 plain green dress, about $15 for the accessories, and the cheapest Kate Spade's bag I can possibly afford)

Well, after I decided to mass delete 90% of my spam-quality posts on my instagram I thought about posting something that doesn't get people to unfollow and block me. At first I thought, 'yeah, I'll just turn it into a giant moodboard with A6 VSCO filter' but something changed.

Ever since I graduated from high school I've been trying to work on my sense of fashion. I thought I need to find my tone. Am I sophisticated? or vintage-enthusiast? At first I was all about being hippie and then it didn't exactly felt right. I thought about y'know, dress and converse all the time with roaring twenties make up. I still do that, because dress and converse are my OTP, and roaring twenties's make up is frigging awesome (thou I got a lot of complain from my Mum who isn't a big fan of smokey eyes)

I think I've gotten slightly better right now, and people actually asked me 'how do you find your sense of style?'

Okay, first of all, that is so twisted, and I don't know how to answer that, but assuming that they prolly asked 'how do you pick what you wear each morning?' I usually just answer 'I grab anything I can find and grab first, then hoping for the best'

Then they started asking me fashion tips, which is so bizzare, and it never crossed my mind that people want my opinion on this department. So I started posting pictures of my outfit everyday and see how it rolls.

Well, they seem to like it, so I guess I'm not too weird.

It's hard to find your own style in this country, especially since everyone is infatuated by other culture's style--in the end, everyone dressed awesome but no difference. And man, I live in Indonesia, so sexy outfit is an absolute no go.

But you know what? I'm having fun. I'm having fun with my wardrobe, and even when I can't find my tone just yet, at least I look great in all style.

Teaching experience

Believe it or not--I teach english. In college.

Yes, you're not wrong, I am twenty something years old. And yes, I am still working my ass off to get another bachelor degree. I'm an assistant for an extremely busy and multi-tasker English professor. Considering the lack of knowledge I have, you can imagine what a shitty lecture I am. Haha.

Well, I ended up teaching them about english lit and creative writing because that's pretty much what I personally capable of. Yesterday, I taught 'em about creative writing (based on experience, y'know, my four pillars of making a story: plot, character, theme, bible) and they came up with a very hilarious plotting.

Since it's college, there's not much set of rules, so once or twice, we spent our 3-hours class doing movie/anime analysis. Well, then again, there's no set of rules so as long as we keep English matter interesting, we'll be good.

Hello all!!!

That's right, I'm back! Sorry that i was gone for a little while. I had some security crisis, so... yeah.

Update

Someone broke into my email account recently and therefore had access to my GR account. If I send you something sketchy, that wasn't me.

Random post

About certain TV show

I thought Orphan Black's opening credit will be, you know, longer, because heck there are a lot of characters there (not to mention all the arcs).

Then I realized they're all Tatiana Maslany.

Well, didn't stop me from thinking 'why is the opening credit so short?' for the next 29 episodes.
