newly decorated room !

oh hello all! finally this night i can write about my newly decorated room (after a long week of cleaning it up, piling up things, and buying new furniture for my room) my room is 80% newly decorated! and i love it!

let's see now i have :

1. necklace hanger + hair accessories hanger
found this at daisho Paris Van Java for 22000 IDR.
it's a multipurpose hanger exactly, but i use it for necklaces. you see i have tons of necklace. from hama beads, girly necklaces, pearl necklaces, and many more. putting it in an unorganized way will hinder you to wear the necklace. instead you'll be lazy to pick a necklace that suits your outfit. you can see that the hanger can divide your necklace to 10 categories and i do think this will help me so much to mix and match my clothes and necklace :)


and this one is for my pretty hair accessories, my favorite!



2. shoe rack

found this at carrefour Paris van Java with a low price (94000 IDR)
it's a multipurpose rack actually and it's a bit too good for shoes, but i like it so much. i put some of my shoes here, i mean i'm really a shoe maniac! from my pink oshkosh boots, zara kids boots, aixaggio flats, colehan flats, until salvatore ferragamo heels.
there are still more shoes but the rack is already full. LOL


3. toolbox
found this at carrefour Paris van Java for about 60000 IDR.


my dearest band, Angsa dan Serigala has a huge strong toolbox that (literally) able to load anything. it inspires me to adopt this adorable pink toolbox for my musical equipment from carrefour! :) from wireless, pre amps, pick ups, cables, small percussion instruments, until small thing like spare violin string and violin polish. i love my toolbox.


4. bag rack


my bags (again i am not only a shoe-holic but also a bag-holic) used to share place with my colorful stockings. but now my bags have their own space! from oroton and aigner hand bags, zara purse, until my calvin klein backpack. i love my bags so much, i'm just addicted to it!

5. stocking rack


found this for only 200000 IDR at Giant Pasteur.
uber cute rack! <3 i can put my stockings here, color coded. from formal black to shocking pink, crazy stripes, or skull pattern! also leggings, shorts, leg warmers, and my fancy long socks! stocking is so me! i don't care if someone said that it's a bit too formal or old fashioned to wear stockings. they just can't find a good colored, fancy and trendy stockings to be worn! :p


6. my closet
ok, i need a bigger one. if i have my own house later on first thing that i will do is to make a clothes room. where you can get all of your clothes hung (just like in a store) so that no clothes will left unseen and unworn :p anyway, i've done mass cleaning up (my routine per 6 months). piling and sorting things and donating MANY THINGS (just so i can buy new clothes :p)

T Shirts, formal blazer and blouse at first level.


Pajamas, skirts, plain t shirts and tank tops at second level.


Dress, color coded at third level.


Dress, color coded and also sweater and a bit of pants at fourth level.


Another pile of sweater and campus attire at fifth level.

My good blazers, gown, costume, and formal dress are being hung.


i need more closet, God :p

7. my tall cupboard
thanks mom for giving it to me! :)
first level is dedicated to my huge thick and difficult university books! from first year purcell, cutnell, and brady. my second year solomon, harvey until my favorite microbiology related text books : cappuccino (laboratory manual, black, and brock!)
second level to put (literally) anything inside.
third level to put some of my reading books.


fourth level to put my first light microscope and some of my poly pockets collection plus food shaped eraser (which is never been used to erase anything due to it's extra cuteness)
fifth level for my music book , score, etc.


8. my study


i rarely study (here). i study at a huge table outside my room in the middle of the house. to keep a good interaction with all of my family members. i haven't been tidying it much. i put some of my book, my stationary and diaries collection here. i also put photos and my poly pocket collection on top of my study!

9. a multi purpose basket
to put my everything LOL. from third semester journals to pile of disposable contact lenses! LOL.


10. my bed
the most comfortable bed ever! i love this more than heavenly bed from westin or sweet sleeper from sheraton. because my bed has my dolls (from little elmo, big elmo, series of fatty pigs and cows, until my lovely ifa bear), a warm bed cover and also a bed net (do say that i'm childish). currently i'm writing this on my bed :)



11. my end cupboard


people usually have end table but i have end cupboard instead :p it contains my favorite novels, mostly in english and chicklit-ish, like meg cabot. some of my books are also old and classic like i capture the castle or baby sitter's club. few are a bit smarter like abook about song writing and the famous tipping point or nice girls don't get the corner office.


12. my achievements board plus work station
this is where i put all of the ID from a gigs that i have ever played, brochure from a concert that i have ever participated, and also orchestra concert! and here i put my pink mini lenovo and also my cute eggy speaker, to keep my room musical! :>



and and, i guess i've described all the things in my room. LOL.

see you later in the next post, guys!



With Love, Afifa Ayu <3

finally, prom nine

ok, finally. some post about prom nine of sman 3 bandung class of 2oo9 :)
for the short summary : it was quite enjoyable and -well- have to admit that my dress is so good LOL.


tuesday,23rd of june 2oo9

ok, the day started with usual routine. and i remembered that i have to go to school to get my Dana Titipan Pendidikan and also picked up rudini, and also bought my bag ( i hadn't got one )
so i went to school and finished up the DTP thingy. i didn't even know that my mom's stored this money at school 3 years ago, but whatever! :p after that i waited for rudini triyadi -my escort tonight- at kantin sehat sman 3 bandung.
i sat with silat and nyonyo, we discussed about our itb re-registration stuffs. and finally rudini came, and we went to pvj.
we went directly to the place that my sister had suggested (beside carrefour escalator) and gotcha. i found her (EHM, her) a nice and pretty blue-silver bag. it was 108000 IDR, and i used my own money. but the bag was really good, so i didn't regret my choice :p
and after buying korea's ice cream and pretzel dog we went home.

and i waited for air crash investigation after lunch, but it didn't show up. so i slept. i was really tired and sleepy. and i woke up at about 3pm and had to go directly to the salon.

i went to lenny fora salon, quite near from my house.
this is me and my sister's regular salon for big events, such as : this prom night. i went there when i had to sing with traditional costume when i was still at bina vokalia pranadjaja (LOL), i went there for my elementary school graduation, i went there for my junior high graduation, i also went there for my performance with the titans back there =)
first they washed my hair.
and before they did something to my hair, i gave them a picture of cinderella (an original disney picture) and gave them my tiara.
and the hair stylist thought that i was a junior high student (LOL)
and they did a lot of thing with my hair. the result was amazing, despite of my limited short hair.
and they did the make up. i really hate the part when they use icecube before they put foundation on my face. and i hate when they sticked false eyelashes on my eyes. i hate when they put mascara.

but the result is quite incredible :)

oh, scary. those gigantic eyes and fake eye lashes LOL :D

at home, i put all of the costume and accessories. gown, gloves, choker, and heels.
after that, i did some photo shoot with rudini. my sister really wanted to do photo manipulations for me, rudini, and both. i posed as a cinderella, and rudini as... hmm, korean prince? LOL.

:D

and after that, i tried my best to put everything inside my bag. handphone, two wallets, tissue, camera, eye glasses case, battery, and everything.
but i ended up not bringing my gigantic wallet and leaving some money, my ID, and my credit card on my bag.

finally we arrived at grand aquilla. ok my prom.
i filled up the guest book and got some pop corn. and i looked around. there were pami (she was gorgeous with her black and red dress plus extra high heels) and peni (very cute with her witch dress and small hat)
finally we went upstairs to the ballroom. i walked with rudini and we posed in front of the red carpet (yeah just like movie stars)

and we went inside to sit. the ballroom wasn't very occupied and we picked a place to sit. first we sat with gita and upi.
then we sat with bunch of 3ipa8 girls(silat, seli,manda, nyonyo, tania,nenden, etc.) and ichil and wita.

great banquet :)

people kept coming. their dress and tux and costume were incredible :)
let's write their costumes (according to my memory)

almira wore a cleopatra costume. cool.
apri wore a gatotkaca costume. cool.
silat, ipong and many others were dressing up with korean costume.

hey, the girls :)

ael and okky came together. ael wore a black gown and okky wore a romanian soldier costume. oh gosh, perfect.
febia wore a snow white costume. yeay, disney!
aqis wore a little red riding hood plus her fruit basket. another disney.

two disney princess :)

asmi was a willy wonka. cool.
nyonyo wore a french maid costume. pretty.
and so many more amazing gowns and costumes and tuxedos.

marsha's gown is so pretty and elegant :)

anty and silat were also beautiful :)

and the party began.
but well, since i am still a quiet cinderella. i just sat there, talking, and taking some photos and try to enjoy the thing. finally we ate while watching 2009's video, it was quite good and i was starving too. i ate some rice, some chicken, lasagna, and soup.

and the 2009 performances began.
there were bands, tiloe's theater, and so on. and bands and bands and bands. LOL.

i sat still but my heart was enjoying the party :) watching all of my friends, some were sitting still, some were dancing crazily on the dance floor, some were eating again, some were chatting happily.
i smiled and try to capture all of the scene on my mind. as my sweetest high school memory :)

..
...
tick tock. the clock was ticking. it was almost 11.30 pm. and i felt really sleepy and tired.
and to really played my part as a cinderella. i really have to go home before 00am.
first, i didn't want to transform to the real cinderella, with poor clothes.
second, my car would transform into a pumpkin. then how would i go home? my home was near, but i didn't want to walk. i'd rather check myself in to get some room at grand aquila LOL.
third, i didn't want to lose one of my mom's high heels. she'd extremely furious.
fourth, tomorrow would be a tiring day. recording and stuffs.
fifth, i was really tired. finally i thanked God that Angsa dan Serigala didn't have to play at prom. if they played, i have to stay until the end of the prom, because our performance would be at the end (or near the end) of the prom. that'd be around 1am or 2am. i hate midnight performance :p


oh and i finally went home.

i was super tired.

and when i came home, it was 15 minutes before 00 am. great, i made it just in time! :)
i cleaned up my face. and slept still with my unnormal hair. LOL.

zzzz.

ok. now high school has ended. but the memory will never fade. but still now... it's time to :

SMILE AND SAY "I'M COMING" TO GANESHA 10 :D

yihaa! ^^ School of Life Sciences and Technology!

cinderella maen facebook♥

it's quite strange. a cinderella is playing facebook with her lenovo♥ LOL!

prom nine was quite great, i'll give you a post with that after i've finished my band's recording :)

a cinderella costumed-afifa♥

prom nine!
ok tonight :)
THE prom night. something that mia thermopolis from the princess diaries serial just really can't wait (for the sake of giving each other's precious gift with michael thermopolis LOL-argh, i haven't read the latest edition. will they be together again? but i vote for J.P. more ^^)

well, me? for the sake of using my cute cinderella gown, i can't wait for tonight too.
but wait, why did i choose to be a cinderella?
i didn't mean to really imitate cinderella, actually. i has the gown. better than cutting off my salary and use it to make another dress, i would prefer something available. some of my friend said that wearing costume is imitating characters and it means that you're not being yourself.,

but i think, clothes is just an outer crust of someone. i'm not being cinderella. but i'm being afifa that wears cinderella costume. and i think i want to look like a princess sometimes. ok, this is silly. but i think every girl has this obsession (at least when they were just a child) an obsession to become pretty and beautiful, wearing fancy dress and attending ball dance :) if you don't have it, no hard feelings. LOL.
and i also want to emphasize that everyone can be beautiful with a beautiful dress and a sincere heart :) you'll never find a princess in a fairy tale like me, but today i'm being a one day princess :) a cinderella costumed afifa :)

and oh well, this is my prom (and this is my smashing argument and my team split-oh, i miss english debating-) and it's everybody's right to wear anything to express themselves.
i choose to express myself with this princess dress. i don't want to reflect ONLY an outer beauty of a fairy tale princess, the thing that i really want to express is their sincere and beautiful heart.

i hope that i also have that, as a cinderella costumed-afifa :)
everybody can be a princess. everybody can always wear a crown and tiara. every girl is beautiful :)
and i know i always be my dad's little princess :D LOL. (though now maybe i'm a bit too old for the word 'little princess' i'm almost 18, geez)


ah, and now checklist!
cinderella gown (checked)
tiara (checked)
blue velvet choker (checked)
hand gloves (checked)
high heels (checked)
clutch bag (ah,still have to find it)
sincere heart (checked checked. this is the most important thing!)


i'll go to the salon at 3.30 pm, to do the make up (i want it to be simple and elegant) and the hair do (just like cinderella's hair)
i'll go to the prom with rudini. he'll be a korean prince costumed-rudini. LOL. we'll have loads of fun~ let's enjoy prom NINE guys, this is our once in a life time experienced! :)


*hope that it won't be too tiring. coz tomorrow i have to be my brother's "soundgirl" in his performance at his school. and also i'll have angsa's recording session :)

i'm happy. and i'm sincere.
i'm princess afifa (rofl)

thanks all♥

prom night ♥

hey!morning all :)

my first post this morning will be about my PROM NIGHT.
inspired by pami's post. thank you pami :)

i'm graduating from high school this year or the exact time is this 22nd of june.



well, prom night tradition comes from USA. historians believe that they may have existed since 1800s, but it was first mentioned in the high school year books of 1930s and 1940s.
many said that prom tradition came from a tradition named debutante. some kind of ball to welcome the adult age of a girl. this tradition developed to institute formal dances for it, the dances often chaperoned and strictly only for senior student of high school.
in 1900s prom was relatively a simple affair, student will come for a tea, dancing, and socializing.
but since 1950s, since America enjoyed the luxury of the post-war economy prom had elaborated and becoming an expensive events.
people wore great new dress and tux, people wanted to come with a best looking-date, prom was held in glamorous hote's ballroom or banquet, and later on there were competition for the best dress, prom queen, prom king, and so on.
(source by prettyforprom, modified by me)

brought by many film, this tradition finally affected Indonesia also.
and as long as i know my highschool has held this event for several times. i remember my sister (she graduated at 2004) had some kind like prom also.




for me? well, i have no objection for this prom. this is like an event to celebrate our 3 years of study in high school. and since i love to wear fancy dress, i'm eager to come to this prom with a magnificent dress. and since my wonderful band is playing as a guest star here, well! i can't wait from this prom :)


hmm hmm my tips? wear a comfortable shoes because this event will take a lot of walking around the hall, wearing ultra high heels will surely kill your foot. yea especially for me, since i'm gonna jump around playing in a band :p


since the theme is MOVIE. and we're expected to dress like a movie star, dress with a costume from a movie, etc. i'm wearing a cinderella gown :)

here take a look at my gown : )
