with amazing decorations and comfy couches, i wouldn't mind staying long for brainstorming with a cup of hot coffee ;)

crisis?

i got a great SLR. i got a great mentor, and yes, in this case it's my dad. i always got a great opportunity to take gorgeous pictures in all of this gorgeous places. but somehow my passion for landscape and nature photography is fading. i know it's actually not a great deal because hey! people always do that. on their way to find their passion, they will leave and found new ones. and maybe this is one of mine. i just kinda feel disappointed with myself. or maybe just i don't want to disappoint my father for giving me an incredible SLR and now.. a tripod also. but then i thought, i could use it for a different purpose. i mean i have a blog. i like to share my stories with lots of pictures on it, so why don't i use it for that? 

but then again, because i love fashion, especially on the street, i started to think about street style photography like Tommy Ton and Scott Schuman. i don't know, maybe it's just a temporary thought. but then again, look at the first picture above that i took three years ago. it was my pride (well because lots of people like it on Flickr). it was such a beautiful shot and i didn't work that hard to capture it. i guess when my mind is on the right place, i could produce something like this more often. the question is, when will my mind will be in the exact right place again? 

i think the problem is that i asked myself too many questions that i couldn't answer by myself. so what i have to do now is just let it all sunk in, just use the SLR whenever and wherever i want it, and who knows? maybe i'll find other passion along the way.

touchdown!

at laaaast! i got my hands on The Sartorialist book by Scott Schuman. although i missed the first one, i'm still very happy when i purchased this book. and.. because i couldn't resist buying an actual book in a bookstore (yes, bookstore is like a candy store to me), so i bought two books. so far, Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell caught my heart with all of different emotions.

secondhand love

 i admit.. i fell in love with this secondhand store. me and Gaby found it on our way to Bodo centrum. there was all kind of CDs and DVDs ranging from indie to pop, from oldies to modern. if i have some money, i'm definitely buy the horror movies collection. and there's also books (too bad it's in Norwegian), vintage furnitures, and i even found a vintage candy machine!

power rangers kalaaah!

the perks of having crazy friends (and the ones that can actually dance) in your KKN group. i had a blast practicing the routine with them because it was full with laughter and jokes i can't even mad at them for not being serious as i used to. in conclusion, i missed that feeling, those moments.

at laaast.. my live long quest since high school is now officially come true. there we are, with me as the captain (and the syekh), and them as the traditional dancers. they're far from perfect, but i am really proud of them i can't tell you in words. they came a loong.. way. they actually train form scratch and we did it in a month! FYI, we design and made the costumes ourselves. :D

someone made it for me! :D
