We're going to college?

07/07/13

Hey pals! holly moly its July already. Whats going on with June? Is she hiding from me? She seems mad at me. Oh whaterfff hahaha. SO making college definitely became my new hobby since I wasn't really going anywhere on this holiday.
Yes, I have been into Photoshop since 2 years ago. But its kinda like on-off relationship between me and him because at first I didn't really understand the tools so I only follow the tutorials that I found in Google. It was so horrible because every picture that I did turned out to be some kind of stupid pic. I'm not saying that the tutorial was bad but the idea of me trying to edit a pic without any knowledge about Photoshop was bad and disgusting. Examples, I've made my blue-avatar, changed Bella Swan's face with my face, or replaced that blonde assassin girl in MI4's face with my face. And because I really didn't know what I was doing, like how to balance my face's tone color with Bella Swan's body color, so it ended up look like an alien! But it still funny somehow and I still haven't delete those pics, but there's no way I will upload it in here, no way. Since I realized that it was such a stupid action, so I quit. 

Yeah I quit, even when I started to understand it, I'm such a chicken, i know. And I never open Photoshop until last week, I saw my lil bro dug into it. and after I saw him, I opened it and the next 2 hours I made like 4 colleges without any tutorial of course. Because basically you can never make a good college if you follow a tutorial, its all about go hard or go die. You need to be original and do what you want. But mine are not really good, it was like okay fine, but it hasn't blew me away. Maybe because I made it real quick and super hurry, idk why, so I didn't pay attention on every detail so yeah. I'm not really that narcissistic to use my own selfie(that not good enough to be edit-able) so I used only 1 pic of myself and 3 pics I took it from @Sparrowly's pic from her instagram (you guys should check it out! simply because she's a lil hipster) and the others I just grabbed them from tumblr. Xoxo, bulan.

Ps: This year is my last year in high school. Hasn't figured it out which university I'll go or even which faculty :( 






Nails and Hammer!

28/05/13

The fact that I'm still in the middle of final-exams-week just slap me. In the face. Really hard. I actually still have 4 days journey to get my freedommmm! and tomorrow I have english and toefl test and haven't study anything yet. so I have to be really quick to post this one. I have no idea what I wanna post, but oh well I don't care. Since, I really love nails and stuff so lets talk about it. I can't draw, so I like to paint my nails as an escape. Pathetic.

But hey galzzzz! I just found out that even your nails will seem pretty, painting your nails is also dangerous for your body. It was dangerous because of the chemicals which contained in it and the chemicals called Phthalates. The study has shown that Phthalates can interfere the metabolism of 'fatty tissues', causing insulin resistance in healthy women. When we're talking about insulin then we're talking about Diabetes. So yes, Phthalates can increase the risk of diabetes, up to 2 times!!!!! diabetes? huohhhh, I love eating candy and painting my nails, another slap in the face maybe?

Therefore, these are some tips for you who love to paint your nails but still want to reduce the risk :



  1. Watch the expiry date
    Expired nail polish can cause symptoms such as irritation, redness itching to culminate infection. Long-term effects can lead to cancer.
  2. Note the chemical constituents in the nail polish
    Choose nail polish with water-based and doesn't smell. Nail polish which has a sting-smell is usually dangerous and can lead to dizziness.
  3. Choose a reasonable-price nail polish.
    Don't choose nail polish which is too cheap, even if you don't have much money. It's better not to buy at all rather than harm your own health. Because the chemicals that contained in it can't be accountable.
  4. Let your nails look natural
    Less is more! But if in case you really have to paint your nails, make sure that at least 2 or 3 days in a week your nails are nailpolish-less (I don't know what is it called in english.)
Some pictures of my nails!





and since the title is Nails and Hammer, it would be a public deception if there's nothing about hammer, so yaaaa lets find a hammer. So cool!




There you go. I hope you find this post a lil bit helpful! wish me luck for my exams! 
and I'm really sorry for my english, i know it's really bad. I'm learning :)
xxxx, bulan.



Show up!

05/05/13

Hello fellas! Its been a very long time since my last post. So freaking tired with school, homework exam homework and exam again. and I was at the highest saturation point for school and stuff. Well, I know that it was wrong to feel that way, like there are millions of children who want to go school but they can't. But I'm seriously sick of waking up at 5am, going to school, doing homework, then sleeping at 1pm, and start all over again for 24hours/7days. Its like a never ending story. But that's life and we're gonna live this life no matter what. So lets pump up and listen to some good music. and since I already have soundcloud a long time ago but haven't post anything, so lets post something. Those are some songs that i currently listen to. Kinda weird, but idc. xo, bulan.


a little bit of today : scratched.

Lately I've been stalking on Tavi Gevinson's blog, which is so cool. She is so... err 70s? yeah! I was born in the 90s though. So I was inspired and then try to turn some of my pics become look old, dusty and scratched like it were being kept in a drawer for long a time. I use a few apps on my phone and didn't use photoshop at this time, Epic fail? oh well never mind. and I also found some cool pics. Lets spread the 70s wave!

Short Movie!

01/04/13

hey pals, like a few months ago I got a group assignment my Sundanese teachers (Sundanese languane was one of local languages in Indonesia) to make a short film. and Holly moly it was so damn tiring, it took hours to get a minute of the film that watchable and editable! now I can watch any movie without easily mocking it, because I understand how hard it is to make a movie, even the shot one though. 

Below is my group's short movie, I know that it's so cheesy and boring and the quality doesn't good but hey we're a beginner. so I suggest you to jump to minute 15:35 because that part is so funny for me. and I don't know why I named it Gepeng, I picked it randomly on Sundanese dictionary, in sundanese Gepeng is an adjective that means flat. Enjoy :)
