Mural Painting "Lounge"


Carving for new bedroom!!!

Actually this is years old carving...I bought the paint already, had the design on my mind and had those DIY bed addition on my mind. But, well, noted, ON MY MIND. I have no will to make it real....
So, what am I going to write this time? Some tips and links that will help you remodel your bedroom. Selected from some websites on the internet.

This one I got from ehow.com.





Difficulty:
 
Easy

Instructions

    • 1
      Paint. Painting is one of the cheapest ways to update a room, and it takes minimal effort. Pick a color that suits you and paint one wall, the entire room or the ceiling. Get creative. Blues and greens are great for bedroom design because they give a pacifying feeling.
    • 2
      Lamps. Lamps are another cheap remodel alternative because they can create a glow of warmth in a room without much effort or expense. Place lamps or lighting in the corners of the bedroom, next to the bed, or in the corners of a vanity mirror. Experimenting with varying heights, wattage, and lamp designs will give you lots of decorating options.
    • 3
      Sheets and duvets. Here is another place to let your creative light shine; do a mini remodel of your bedroom by purchasing a new sheet or duvet set that refreshes the entire room. Add a couple of fun throw pillows and it might just look like a professional interior designer has spruced up your room!
    • 4
      Add a touch of art. To give your remodel the ultimate personal touch, buy a blank canvas and get to painting. Maybe you aren't Picasso, but painting your own artwork for your bedroom can end up with you getting exactly the decoration you want, and save you money.
    • 5
      Go green. Adding a couple of plants to your bedroom can brighten the room and serve as a great interior decorating touch. Try a hanging basket of ivy in the corner or a couple of bamboo plants; both are easy to tend to and grow quickly.

      Then, let me share some links that would lead you to the master:

Future Ideas

Okay, so I don't know why but I feel like I want to talk about houses. House, for me, isn't just a place to go back after school or after work. House, for me, should be a place where the bond of family get tighter and a place where we as human could feel comfort and safe the most. That, of course, won't happen until we get comfortable and desirable house. I didn't say cheap and I didn't say expensive; I said comfortable and desirable which price will be depend on our taste and budget.

That house above was a house that I found on the Internet. Simple, modern and looks cozy. More important for me I has a lot of windows. Why windows? I don't even know. I just remembered that I once talked with my friend that I really love a house with big windows that would show me a lot of pine trees. So, over all, my future house should have a lot of big windows. A lot like this one:
Look at those yellow lights. That kind of light really help to make a cozy and warm environment. I'm not study architecture but I at least know what's good. :)

Move to the interior. Since I love simplicity then the interior would be the simple and modern one though I can't deny that I also love Mediteranian and Classic one. Classic interior has it own charm. It consist of pastel colors and Victorian furnish that would look really good with yellow lighting. This kind of design has a lot of details on it which if we can't put it right it would make our house look really crowded. 


Above is one of an interior design with Victorian or Classic design. See? Put it right and it would look really nice. Different with modern one which brought forward the simplicity. Modern interior design usually had rectangular shapes or oval, circle, the point is SIMPLICITY. In modern interior design the usage of a furnish is count more than its beauty or art. Though, this kind of design had its own beauty and charm.
The color choice basically falls on white, black, grey or any other main colors. The furnish looks simple, right? Combined with big clear glass and minimum decoration this kind of design would make our house look cleaner, bigger and quiet.

So, what if we combine both of Modern and Classic design? It would make the contemporary one. It has both of Classic and Modern sense on it which I love the most. That would be my choice. The picture on the right side is the Modern interior is the example of Contemporary Interior design I picked from the Internet. See? It's simple yet had its own complexity and the sense of nature. The art isn't left behind but everything on it still be useful.

This design could also be apply on bedroom. This design would be a really nice choice since we don't need a lot of effort to tidy it up. Well, in condition you're not that kind of put-it-where ever- you-like type of person ;) these are some choices I took from the Internet related to bedroom.


 
I am consciously picked those bedroom designs that dominated with earth colors. Why? Because I got this philosophy that nature could bring peace and relaxing our minds. On those pictures above which obviously contained earth colors I somehow could imagine that with putting those colors on our bed room we would feel like we're being close to the nature. This color choice is somehow perfect for city dweller like me. Beside, earth colors come along really well with yellow lightning which I love the most.

Well, I think that's all I can write about my ideas. I know, I might sound like a smartass but please note this; I JUST WANT TO SPEAK UP MY MIND. You don't agree? keep it to yourself because I don't care about your whine :p

Random Personality Test

I just had this on-line Personality Test. The test results are divided into four categories; Guardian, Artisans, Liberal and Rational. I found it really fun and well, could be useful if only I know how to use it :p

So, my test result is;
Guardians are the cornerstone of society, for they are the temperament given to serving and preserving our most important social institutions. Guardians have natural talent in managing goods and services--from supervision to maintenance and supply -- and they use all their skills to keep things running smoothly in their families, communities, schools, churches, hospitals, and businesses.
Guardians can have a lot of fun with their friends, but they are quite serious about their duties and responsibilities. Guardians take pride in being dependable and trustworthy; if there's a job to be done, they can be counted on to put their shoulder to the wheel. Guardians also believe in law and order, and sometimes worry that respect for authority, even a fundamental sense of right and wrong, is being lost. Perhaps this is why Guardians honor customs and traditions so strongly -- they are familiar patterns that help bring stability to our modern, fast-paced world.
Practical and down-to-earth, Guardians believe in following the rules and cooperating with others. They are not very comfortable winging it or blazing new trails; working steadily within the system is the Guardian way, for in the long run loyalty, discipline, and teamwork get the job done right. Guardians are meticulous about schedules and have a sharp eye for proper procedures. They are cautious about change, even though they know that change can be healthy for an institution. Better to go slowly, they say, and look before you leap.
Guardians make up as much as 40 to 45 percent of the population, and a good thing, because they usually end up doing all the indispensable but thankless jobs everyone else takes for granted.


Guardians at Work
As a Guardian, you enjoy working as a valued member of a team, whether you are leading it or following a credible leader. You like to work with people who carry their weight. You appreciate having clear-cut responsibilities and being recognized for your dedication and achievements. Your natural traits are those that employers have traditionally valued - and that successful companies still respect. You are responsible and loyal to an organization once you've signed on.

You are most comfortable when your life is structured. As a result you usually prefer a workplace that lets you create a routine you can settle into. Because you are dependable and exacting, your colleagues and customers rely on your work. Your ideal job offers you a clear chain of command, and lets you progress through a hierarchy based on your meeting expectations.  


As someone who really into Psychology, this kind of test is really exciting :p

Q : What life's gonna be after Graduate? (Letter for you)

Well, with that one million dollars question then a lot of a hundred dollars questions will follow up. My Graduation is less than a month and I started to have these questions pop ups in my head. Most of them are about life after Graduation, friendship after graduation, ect. I'll write it down and remind me please that 'I'll have to answer these questions in 6 months'


1. Could I and my friends stay in touch?
2. Could we be just as close as today?
3. Could we still hang out together with our new random schedule?
4. Would any of us change too much until we barely recognize each other?
5. Are we going to forget each other because of our new friends and environment?
6. Does 'Best-friend' label strong enough to make us stick together since we had different classes or even University?


Those are my big six questions since I can't think more of it tonight. Weird. I got a lot this afternoon but when night comes up....Oh, well. Anyway these questions are just the result of my paranoia. I'm afraid that I'll lose everything and everyone since these peoples are the most real 'friends' I ever had. I don't mean to be lame or act like a drama queen and makes everything sounds too much and too melancholy but that's just how I feel.

Confession Part I : What 'FRIENDS' meant
Ever since I could understand the word FRIEND all I can describe about it is that a friend is someone we can use to play, have fun, share some laugh and pleased. When I had a friend the only thing that came through my mind was this one "Do whatever she want me to do. Please her or you'll lose her. You can bear this but she can't." And as the result; I never say no, never argue, tried to not get mad even if she got out of the line. Stupid me....

Confession Part II : What 'FRIENDS' means, nowadays
For me, they are precious things that I will never let go. Now, I'm not only want to make them happy but I also want to protect them. I want to help them in any way I could. This time it's not like I arrogantly thought that they are the one who needs me but I also need them more than they know. I was lost, crazy and even heartless. I didn't know what 'care' means, I didn't know what sympathy means and hell, I don't even want to help anyone who didn't ask. But ever since I knew these peoples I understand and learnt a lot of things. I just don't know how to thank enough....

Best Wishes for :

Thanks for revived me from whatever got into me

Best Wishes too for :

And them who I can't write one by one

Thanks for being there and being patient enough to hear all my crazy whines :)

These are really nothing....

Fairytales


Every book that you read as child telling you happy ever after endings
When the prince came on the back of a white horse saving the lonely princess from wicked witch
Now you grow up as wishful dreamer. Telling yourself that your prince would come soon
Books telling you good things would sure come if you willing to wait for miracle

Don’t you know?
Oh, don’t you know?

Now that he left you, you could only cry
Falling on your knee with broken heart
Now that your prince left
You’re bothered to care that in reality, fairytales gone bad

Wishing good things would happen to day, created a picture of perfect lover
Then it comes the rain when everything gone wrong, there you left in cry again, again

Now that you’re alone you could only mourn
Retreat with the pain to your silent hole
Now that your dream shattered
You can’t no more ignore that in reality, fairytales gone bad

Oh, leaving the dream but live up your dream
Bring it out, bring it out
Let the whole world see that dreams in your will could make fairytale gone right, fairytale gone right

Now that you stand up you comes only stronger
You ain’t that dreamer with no power
Now you met your prince yet still beware cause it’s reality where fairytales gone bad

Rainy Days, Change of Theme

So, yeah, I changed the look of my blog. Why? Does it look gloomy somehow? Well, it depends on you perspective. For me rainy days are bless, heaven on earth. Such a cold comfortable day which definitely will make me stay in my favorite spot at home, with a glass of coffee (of course, what a day would be without coffee?), listening to my favorite slow-beat songs and just daydreaming. Rainy days, especially afternoon, somehow could bring me a lot of joy and peace. It just the scent, the cold soft breeze and sound of the rain when it hits the roof and the window...Gosh, I love rainy days. But of course not that kind of rain...There are also some rains that would make me scream like 'God, please stop, these thunders are killing me!' and made me started to think 'no, I don't want to die hit by a thunder'.
Anyhow, this rainy looks of my blog speak something on my behalf. This is just how I felt lately. When it comes to rain, it comes unpredictable calming rain yet the storm could suddenly rush in. That's just how I act. I could be completely calm, peaceful yet gloomy at one time and in a split second I could blow up and scream as if a big storm coming in. In just like weather, I had no control....

Then I have some idea about why all these things happens....

First, I got like a heaven-high stress level (which unfortunately unnoticeable by sloppy and careless me) because of the upcoming National Final Examination and the fact that if I didn't past the Invitation Test I would have to spend more time to prepare myself for the writing test which is suck!

Second, the unexpected suck, mind-consuming and annoyingly distracting things just happened lately. Just say like I unexpectedly saw my Ex again and my heart stopped like ____________ then I have to pretend like nothing really matter. Or, the moment when I could smile widely like a dumb crazy ass just because I read a message from my out-of-reach and should-have-just-ignore crush. Love life is always suck....

Third, I spent too much time cuddling at home which unfortunately made me realized just how annoying my dad could be and just how patient I should be to be my Mom's personal Psychologist (for God's Sake, I don't even have my degree yet!!!) It was like this; I want to talk about girls stuff with my Mom. A minute I talked then I stopped to take a breath then my lovely Mom started her own story which was waaaaaaaaaaaay longer than mine. Then I kept reminding myself (well, to be exact, my alter-ego reminds me) that I have to get use to this if I want to be a real psychologist.

Just to make this short, due to the less school hour that I had lately and the fact that I had to spend more time at home I got my stress level jumping high out of the border.....

Stupid Thing

You stole my breath right when I saw you
You stole my breath when you said you wanted me
You stole my breath when we were together
You stole my breath when I have to take the decision
You stole my breath and made me cry when I said it was over
then...
You stole my breath again when I saw you
You stole my breath again when you passed me by
Not just stole my breath, my world was rocking and rumbling when you walked over me
Then....
I just realized how much I missed you
how much I've hurt you
and just how so unfair I was....

I seriously had no idea why would I wrote that kind of thing but that just pretty much how I felt when I saw my ex today at my Junior High reunion. I was the one who broke up with him but if I could say it honestly it wasn't because I didn't like him anymore. It was...something more complicated. One thing I learnt from this stupid thing is that;
 'I would never ever give up what I have just for an uncertain hope'
because that was what I did and I regretted it so much. Boy, if I could just make you read this...How could you turned my mind from that son of a bitch that always consumed my world and made me wanting you like this? Jeez, this is really didn't sound like me....
