"The ooo Old Days"

I'ts been a while since Ive been writing,  actually I dont want this blog to be such a trash but i guess I could probably read this again and have a great laugh after.. hmmm
Just as an intermezzo, Im done with my project for the current semester, but I'd love not to talk about it, I wanna relax a bit and just enjoy this free time while I can. wink..;p

Just now I'm watching a really old movie about highscool lovelife and all that, it really reminds me of my past life where I preferably call myself as an "observer" rather than the victim (hhaha, I know you'd probably be wondering, but I consider myself as an underdog, the man behind the screen (sorry to borrow this phrase from ya PM!) trust me, I was'nt the hot ass blondie, neither the "gotta be the first" kinda girl, life seems too boring for me then I guess, or call it something like that hhaha) but yeaaa... those old times.. kept in my unconscious memory sigh*..

Based on the movie that I'm currently watching right now AADC or as translated as (whats wrong with love=cinta? sounds pathetic huh? but believe me, I still look back at those old time (sometimes) wishing I could go to the past-I dont know why, hahaha). But seriously i think its really inspiring (or I rather call it "influencing") movie for most junior highschool peeps at that time, I could recall suddenly all after the lauch of this movie most of my friends suddenly had a dream of taking psychology as a major after graduating highschool (I forgot the reason but if im not mistaken since the main actress was really interested in psychology or something) but hey I kinda miss something!!, should'nt the demand would be an interest towards literature studies?? anyways.. lets just skip this inner dialog thinggy..
Nicholas Saputra a.k.a Rangga in the film Ada Apa dengan Cinta, (by the way!. I just realised that we are under the same junior highschool almamater (♥,♥) haha)


Hmmm... let me see what I've got..Juniorhigh.. juniorhigh. juniorhigh..
1. The kings and the rabble
2. The plastic gang and mean girls
3. Juniors and seniors
4. Short skirts and blondies
5. Secret Admirer and monkey crush (lol)
6. Teachers and nickname
7. Cheerleaders and math geek
8. Short skirts and high socks
9. Concerts and gigs
10. . .... lets just brain storm as we go shall we..

If you know what I mean... There are just a bunch of stuff I could whine about when you think of the old days, things then are just illogical when you think of it right now (well at least for me, hehe)
By the way, Id love to do a review on the film, theres just too many things I'd like to contradict to, but I'll leave that for later.. ;) 

Heres a picture I took this afternoon while having a little walk in old Centrum and the Ijssel river with a couple of friends of mine to freshen up this page ;p, enjoy!!












These are just some of the pics and scenery youll find about the old city of Deventer.
Cheers!! ;)) 

Happy winter to spring!

"I'M IN LOVE"




Finally, I'm in the end of my project design process, These last few days went pretty well ,I survived the last feedback (T____________T)".. And OH-I-SO-NEED-A-DAY-OUT!!

During my hectic week of project deadline I managed to keep in touch with my Bee in South Korea, he Introduced me to Eliza Doolittle's song "Skinny Genes". By the way, for those of you who are not quiet familiar, Eliza is a rising song writer and singer from UK. Her song actually had come across me a couple of times but I just couldn’t be bothered looking up for it since I was "so busy with my Brennero". I was really out of Inspiration and lack of motivation at that time, Bee knew that I was kinda stressed so during our talk over the net he sent me the link of a song and it's somehow cheerful and colorful, which I need veeerry much coz I've been gloomy for the last few days.

I came across her songs and stumbled upon her other songs which I consider catchy and just sincere, I love the tune and the lyric so much that I downloaded some to my curve (which seriously I don’t do often). Any of you reading this post I suggest you to check out "Moneybox", it somehow got stuck in my head, its just so original I guess, I luuurve it!!

And yeaa.. Apart from her songs, which had made me survived through my final feedback *CREDITS TO BEE!! ♥J*, I was inspired by her looks, her trademark were high waist mini shorts and skirts (mostly shorts) and a pair of Nike Air Royalty Macaroon (IHEARTTHEMSOMUCH)(♥_♥)wantthemredwantthemredwantthemred!!.

Happy winter to spring!

I AM.STERDAM



I'm currently facing a hard time of elaborating my concepts and ideas, not mentioning the lack of inspirations (as I’ve been bragging about on my previous post). But lately I’ve been a little inspired by a Dutch book entitled "Ruimte voor Water".
I think what I need is to get my environment to influence my design.I'm hoping to find Inspiration by seeing Amsterdam, the “riverfront city”.

I.n.s.p.i.r.a.t.i.o.n



What I really wish to HAVE rite now.



Review:


Float! Building on Water to Combat Urban Congestion and Climate Change proposes a new way of building: on water instead of on land. Although the concept may seem revolutionary, it is an obvious solution to overcrowded metropolises. The majority of world cities are situated on the water and have too little space where it’s most needed: in the city centre. Building on water allows inner-city areas to expand.

"DEAD LINE"

The only view I have rite now is my window pane. It’s 3°C outside, it’s getting warmer and I could barely see the white snow surrounding my terrace garden. The current continuous drizzle seemed to have washed off all the snow. For the first time in this month I have missed the snow, it feels just like a primary school crush (a term you use for describing an admiration towards an unfully grown childish man during your early puberty phase)  you will not admit that you do consciously have certain weird feelings for this guy and what you can only do is be quiet and act as I if you hate that person soooo much in order to create an interpretation that you do not have any personal feeling about him to avoid social judgments, nor show your feelings about him.

Well personally I don’t really hate the snow,  I actually like it, but I do hate the icy glazed paving blocks caused by the runny melting snow or how the 5-10 cm thick snow are not accessible for bikes to navigate, seriously! Its DANGEROUS I fell like a thousand times on the ice, the worse was just 2 weeks ago just before New Year. But I hope it snows again next month “just on my garden”. I wanna make a snow man!!.. or a snow girl?!   


Anyway I’m running out of ideas, time, and motivation for my urban design project. It’s due in less than two weeks. It’s funny how designers or architects tend to not have enough motivation during their last deadline week. I have already worked on my concept for the past 3 months but it’s hard to elaborate, somehow its locked in my unconscious mind. If any of you have any suggestions on how I could get them inspirations back I could really use that. I’m more than happy enough to know.  

I’ve been getting myself away from emails, Facebook, and other social networking means, to be able to focus on my Design but I seemed to get caught on my blog. Oh well, enough with the intermezzo, I’m  trying to get back on my project, hope I can finish up this week so I could have other bunch of stories and pictures to post.

Happy winter!!

"Multitasking"


I suddenly wish..


I wish I had 6 pair of arms. I wish I could borrow Kevin Lynch's brain and his pair of hands. I wish I had 72 hours a day. I wish I can multitask my brain. I wish I could dream about my BF.I wish I could even dream and have a decent sleep!! I wish this will soon be over.I wish I didnt have to time myself to write this. I just wish..

Gelukkig Nieuw Jaar!! ;D



The start of a new chapter..... 


The seasons made me to be a survivor,
thank you for the bitter, sweet, and sour.

The sun gave me lots of love
The wind drifted me to many opportunities 
The snow made me stronger (Hell yes it did!!!)
The rain washed away my sorrows

Even if winter still linger,
Im ready to face the new chapter of year

Waiting for spring to come, 
to bring new hope in the next day to come.
