Wedding's sourvenirs

Today I decided to make a useful time in my life by doing something that I like and worthy at the same time. I went to my aunt's house, who has a job in making stiches on clothes and veils, and somehow she also has a talent in handcrafts. She told me that on her brother's wedding, she's gonna make the sourvenirs. She let me saw her 5 samples, a cellphone chain, and I was eager to do it.. coz firstly I like making those kind of things and secondly, I have plenty of time. So, by 3 hours I got 37 pieces done. As u can see in the pictures, they look cute xD.. LOL

Yeah at least we need 300 pieces for the guests.. and it is due till september. Gosh, making 37 pieces really made my hands red and I barely can type continuosly without massaging my left hand first. Imagine 300!!

Other than that, my aunt also taught me how to make a keychain from tiny plastic pearls (picture below). I guess it's a popular handcrafts as I can see, and I'm just glad I manage to made one myself! Now she spared me her plastic pearls and told me to make how much I can get and if it looks good, it will be the sourvenirs for the wedding. (I still prefer the first one, it's easier and it looks cuter haha)

Freshmen sourvenir - pins

So earlier this year, I designed a pin to be given out to the freshmen of psychology as a sourvenir. Too bad I wasnt there when the pin came out and they startes to distribute them to the freshmen. I only got a photo of the pin from my boyf, who found the pin under a table (shoot! someone disrespect the pin!). I was kinda happy at least I could see my design on the pin eventhough I wanna have it! T_T

So here's it is..the design n the pin

Strange effects of too much reading books

So with so much free time and less things to do, I decided to read something. At first I borrowed a book from my cousin, it's calles Laskar Pelangi, one of the best-seller in Indonesia, and I started to read pages after pages. This seems interesting to keep going on, to know what is it all about. All I can say from this books is "optimistic children". Since that book, I (who never like reading or I read when I must) begun to opened up my mind and pretend myself that i'm inside the book. Like I'm the invisible person standing behind those characters talking and doing thier things. That was one of the effects meanwhile reading. Then I managed to look for the next books related to it. It's a tetralogical.. I need to read the 4 of them in total to pleased my imagination. It worked though, now the next effect is that I'm addicted to reading. I searched again in my cousin's library maybe I can read something imaginative yet inspirational.. but it dissapointed me when the rest of the books were romances y biology stuffs. However, I found a book full of Inspirational stories. yeah, it's taken from a show called Kick Andy. I found it somehow interesting but when I started to read it.. more books came! Thats another effects I got, that before finishing what i was reading i started to look for more books. I ended up borrowing 3 books from my other cousins and bought myself 6 new books to read in less than 1 month!

Right, here comes the next effects, after reading a lot and lots of books, my dreams are now different. I started to narrate myself in my dream in literature style. Gosh, I can't even remember what was I narrating because I was half-concious and I felt like some good lit writers. I felt like shakespear LOL. But when I woke up, I was as dumb as trying to remember the genious words I narrated in my dreams.

I'd better finish reading all the books in queue list before I start my classes. Coz when I do, I wont have enough time or no time at all no finish reading my books. And if that happens, I'll be the same as before... Not likely to read unless it's obligatory.

That's it for today. I guess I just have to write something in this blog to keep it updated.

c ya!

p.s another effects of too much reading books are
- distorted vision
- upgrade writing skills
- culture knowledge invasion
- and no exercise (since u just sit or fell asleep while reading)

Pop Art - Just the two of us

A new thing that I've experimented.. Making my own Pop art pictures. I've always wanted to try it and seems like now it's my opportunity to do it.

At first I thought of making it look like the Che Guevarra style, but i guess it's more fun to experiment with other colors. Oh, by the way.. that makes me wanna do the Che Guevarra style xD.

Vampire looks...

Here I made the photo looks like we're on a twilight movie...
Thanks to the photo tutorial I found days ago on youtube.. Here's the result.

My Original T-shirt Design

Here's my first shot to try and make a design for t-shirt. This is hand-sketch and scanned to the computer. The image is black lines with white background. In the picture where I use it I just wanna have fun converting the colour. By the way, the tie is absolutely another image I took.

The concept of my design is simplistic yet with humor. It is that the way that my mood feels like are related to some of the greatest public figure ever but expressed with just black lines with faces and one word description... like for example

"smart", i associate it with einstien.

"creative" with Dali

"evil" with hitler etc..

In the las picture I had drawn myself in it, coz whatever I feel like and who ever I associate myself with, i still feel that being myself is the best.

I just hope to make more designs.. i prefer most handmade mixed tech design. I just need to find a scanner thou'.

comments pleaseee.. ^.^

Bad Holiday time - Local trains

Sometimes I love having holidays from hard work and deadlines.. i can relax.. but on some other time it's a disgrace being in the same place as many other 1000 people who are having their holiday too.
It's not a big deal if i stay home and don't feel the rush hour on everyone outside, but I have to take some examinations to apply on universities. So, the outside world is waiting for me.

What I hate about having holidays at the same time as everyone is that where ever I go,
I find people... lots of people.
Even the trains that is usually almost empty, now its really filled with people and things. And not to mention the economic trains are worse than the normal one... Of course you guys can imagine that being economic, everyone prefers to take that train with their family to save more on their trip finance.

I took the train today to get to the university I'm applying, I took the 6 o'clock train and it wasn't that full. but on the way back it's totally waaaaay different than I expected to be.
The saddest thing that I saw today is that the way people entered and got out of the train. They even could'nt respect the people who should get down first and wait for their turn to enter. I saw a mother carrying her baby trying to get on the train within those bunch of people getting out of the train. Her mind was saying "I have to get fast, otherwise there will be no seat for me". If she should have waited a few moments after people has got down, she could get in easily and find a seat. Maybe luck can help her.. in addition, she'll get a seat because she's holding a baby. and it's such a shame if anyone who see that situation in any case didnt give her a seat.

In fact, I also had the same situation like the rest of hundreds of people trying to get in, just to find a seat. Thankfully i found one, just because I ran to see a free seat as soon as I enter. And fot your information, that was 1 hour before the train started the engine. Of course, as time passed by, more people came in to fill the train with the things they've bought and children in their hands. Holiday trips in train sucks. I was prefering the local trains that has passengers full on holidays.. maybe the interlocal trains have the same situation but i guess they have some diferent rules and previleges, I just hope so. I couldn't imagine Seeing people standing for 2 hours or more on their trip in an interlocal trains.

Well, enough of fretting about trains in holidays.. I need to find alternative tricks to enter fast on a train and get a seat LOL..

See you next on other post =D

p.s enjoy your holiday.. if you had any bad time.. comment please
