apparently this has been seventeen rocking years

01.00 Am

Funny how I remembered back to those days i used to do one silly thing on my birthday or a day before it, every year. Like three or four years ago i got a tattoo at the back of my neck. or colored my hair red. it sorta became my tradition every year, (well i ombre my hair green this year, still there, but that doesn't count) =)

Now today, I just take a moment to think. I have been through a lot. Problems, heart breaks, dissapointments, cries, those were all happened for a reason that made me who i am today. I think of all the bad things I've done and all the past mistakes I've made....then I’ve come to the conclusion that Life works this way and leads you to better things. I think of what person i want to be for the next years, what woman will i become, well i'm still trying to become a better person, still got a lot of things to learn.

At this point of my life, i feel grateful for what i have, that i surrounded by people I love, I have a very loving boyfriend, bestfriends, family, everything is in a good vibrant. And thank god for that.

Still fighting for the exams tho, i just wish things going great for this two last semesters in my high school life yay (sad still)

So it’s another chapter in my book of the never ending cycle of Life. I welcome the next chapter with open arms and can’t wait to discover new things and perhaps new people.

I think that's pretty much of tonite. Bummer that tomorrow is still uas. Hahaha you know, It's a bit sad knowing The fact that on the first day of my seventeenth age i can't even sleep, blogging, instead of studying AND STILL my grammar sucks?????? whatever.

One day, you'll meet a guy

One day you'll meet a guy. And ultimately, he's going to find out,
How you chew, how you sip, how you dance, how you smell at every point in the day.
How your face looks underneath all your makeup. How you love chocolate, how you can be hyper at times, how certain games and shows make you really happy.
How cranky you can get when you're tired, how you think you look bad in all your photos.
He's going to know everything about you

And you know what?
He's still going to love you

Barney: Hey.
Robin: What's up? Thought you were going on some big date.
Barney: Robin, I know you're upset.
Robin: What? No, I have never been this happier. And this Anita sounds lovely. I'm so glad that the two of you just randomly find each other. It just warms my frickin' heart.
Barney: So you are not upset?
Robin: Of course im upset! Don't you see how you constantly talking about your conquest and this anita makes me feel like I'm just another number to you?
Barney: But you're not just another number to me.
Robin: And now, you're taking this Anita, who you barely know, on this amazing date, when I never got treated that way. It just, it just sucks, it just sucks. that's all.
Barney: Wow, i know i was bad at being boyfriend, but i had no idea i'd be so much worse being an ex-boyfriend. Im sorry. What can i do to make it up to you?
Robin: Nothing, barney. You've already proven I'm not important.


This just kept me thinking, maybe im just another number to you, yeah it just sucks. it just sucks

This is a godbye then

I heard the news that you're already with her. So it's real, huh? So you're really with her? So you really won't be around anymore? I'm sad and crying over myself for being this stupid and pathetic. For those regrets and apologize and endless "What If"s.But I'm happy for both of you. Happy that you already find the one who can brings happiness and put back the smile on your face. Even if I didn't expect that it would be this fast. But it's fine, it will be fine for me even if it takes time.

So this is a good bye then. This is really it. You already long gone, and moved on.

Getting myself sad again

"The worst thing about getting your heart broken is going to sleep, and knowing you’re going to wake up and nothing has changed." — Anonymous

Do you have to go? Do you really have to go? What’s changed?

Is it me?

Is it you? 

You were once stranger, you were once mine. Tell me what you are now. And What happen to the laugh to the tears we used to share? Is it that easy for you to let go all of those? But No. Not for me.

Have you ever been in love?

"Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn’t it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They didn’t ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn’t your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like “maybe we should be just friends” turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It’s a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain."

— Neil Gaiman

Hey there lazy ass

2013 gadget wishlist

In the early 2013 I made a list of gear that i adore that i hadn't been purchase yet. Since my house been robbed in the end of 2012 (Sad story) i lost a lot of my gadget like my phone, laptop,camera, etc. So i shoulda start all over again, buy new gadgets. Not 100% a wishlist cause I already bought some of the stuffs i mentioned above, about 2 months ago, so i cheated a little here. And here is the detail of my gadget wishlist

1. Samsung Ultrabook
    I forgot what type is it, but it's a ultrabook kind of laptop. What I love about it is that the screen is wide and  it has light weight. I already owned it since a month ago, and been liking it since then
2. Blackberry Davis
This is my current cellphone. I used Samsung phone before but it was broken, old and stuffs...so I had a plan to start using Blackberry this year so couple months ago i purchased it. Not the best phone with lot of apps etc but it's kinda helpful for me to keep in touch with my friends since it has a lot of chat apps so i think it's enough
3. Cute portable speaker
I fall in love with this cute speaker. (So random, i know) But It will be very match with my iPod 4. And by the way speaking ipod, i already saw iPod 5 in emax and it. was. like. Kick. in the. Ass. Shyt so awesome..............
4. iPad mini/ Samsung galaxy tab
Well, I stuck between iPad mini or Samsung tab. or Both? Haha! I don't know I'm not a fan of tablet stuff at first but to know the apps, hm, instagram, path, pinterest, bunch of photoediting...why oh why
5. A good pocket camera
I don't know what is the best/good pocket cam type that available in the market. I just need a good, simple, digital camera that i can carry anywhere. any thoughts?
6. Canon EOS 60D
I had some friends that suggested me to use this camera. Well yes I think it would be great to start using this one. Because it's high quality with reachable price, and also practice and professional at the same time
7. Canon ef 35mm f/2
I think this lens works pretty great in indoor/outdoor photo :D
8. Wacoom Bamboo Pen tool
This is a gadget that make you possibly to add your handwriting to photos. And the result looks WAY more natural than if you use brush effect like on photoshop. It also very very good for digital drawing. But it's hard to find this wacoom in my city&country :( So far the only way i can buy it is from ebay/amazon. eee-_-


So that were all my gadget wishlist for this year, Guess I should start saving up my money haha
Have a good day, xoxo erina

60's icon lurv

I was in the middle of doing nothing (haha!) when an idea of posting this 60's issue came out. So In particularly, everytime they talk about the sixties era one of the woman that popping in my head is this fashion icon Jean Shrimpton. I really can't get enough of her effortless style, flawless beauty, gorgeous dresses and ofcourse those cute bangs:-D

Jean Rosemary Shrimpton is an English model and actress. She was considered to be one of the world's first supermodels. She appeared on covers such as Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Vanity Vair, etc. She quickly became known as "the most popular model", "world's highest paid model", and the most importantly "the face of the 60's."

fun fact: Shrimpton also helped launch the miniskirt In 1965, Shrimpton caused a sensation in Melbourne, Australia, when she wearing a white shift dress which is whooping 10 cm above her knee! (which was unusual at the time)

Hell yeah gorgeous smile

all images were found on google and information taken from wikipedia

And from those pretty photos above you know right why i lurvv that lady Jean Shrimpton haha. xoxo erina
