Am Hepppiiii!!

Siang tadi, waktunya fitting kebaya lamaran. Ha-dua-ce nungguin mbak2nya bawain si kebaya lamaranku. Pas mbaknya dateng, ijk nyaris meweeek! Mewek tanda bahaaaagia (draaaamaaa..!!). Tapi serius, ter-speechless liat si kebaya, payet yang sedang aja begini apalagi yg full yah.. hihii..

Not gonna spoil you with pictures. Just wanna share how HAPPY I am. Sampe sekarang hepinya masi berasa daaah. Hepiii pokonya hepiii!! Buruan deh hari saptuuu, biar tu kebaya bisa dikekepin dulu semaleman sebelom dipake besoknya. Hahahha..

D-5 to the Engagement

Sebentar lagih.. aku akuuu akuuuuh dilamaaaar!!!

Hahhahaa, beginilah yah, kalo stres udah melanda.

D-5. Kebaya belom jadi dan blom dipanggil fitting. Kain bawahan kebaya pun belom dibeli dengan alesan: potongan kain kebayanya jatoh di mobil si pacar yg mana domisilinya di Jakarta, dan karna itu gue jd bingung milih kainnya, takut gak cocok sama kebayanya *bloon memang*.

Rumah masih banget banget berantakan. Tau dong yah, abis di cat, malah bikin rumah tambah acakadut. Lupa naro ini itu, dan semakin gak pengen beberes *emang dasarnya gue males aja siiih*

Tapi selain dari itu sih, rebes! Akhirnya mesen cupcakes dari SafaCake lagi buat si pacar. Sementara yang buat gue, pesen dari Jakarta, dari Auntie Na Cupcakes. Dua2nya cupcakes biasa pake buttercream, nothing more. Alesannya simple, gak suka fondant, dan ngidam banget DC cupcakes, bikinan mereka kan simple banget tuh, heuheu..

Urusan rambut, wont be too far from what I posted before. Hair piecenya, tadi akirnya berhasil mutusin mau model yg mana *phew*, kira2 begini, cuma nanti warna and detailnya agak beti *beda2 tipis*:

Engagement Hairdo

Oh. How I much adore Google. Thanks to it. So now I have my options for hairdo at my soon engagement party.

Actually, I'm that kinda person, who usually says, "terserah Mbak/Mas aja deh bagusnya gimana" to my hair stylish. But I think, it is good to being a bit creative than before on this event. I'm gonna wear kebaya with high neck, therefore I think updo hairstyles will match the kebaya well. Here are some vintage glam hairdo pictures I found interesting..

Which one do you think the cutest one? :)

Ah, ya, gonna add a matching-kebaya-color corsage from Allura Accessories to sweeten the hairdo.

In My Shoes

I found another affordable shoes store!! Yes, it is Payless Shoesource. Just skip reading if you've found out about this before ;)

Intended to find nude pump shoes, I went to PVJ after work with my officemate. Was looking for Nine West (coz I heard that it's on sale, which apparently not at Sogo), I found Payless as I wandered around looking for ATM machine. I was like, "oh, this is the shoes store my friend told me about".

The store isn't too big. But you can find women, men, boys, girls, kids shoes and any other cute accessories. I spend quite time there, just to try every shoes I like and then (finally) chose black mid wedges for daily use. Naaah, I didn't buy it impulsively, seriously, I've been searching for black shoes lately ;D

I love the idea of this store. I don't really know about the stuff' quality, but I think, it is worth the price. The ones got my attention priced from 149K IDR to below 500K IDR, and those shoes fit my feet well. Like I said, I've been searching for flat shoes lately, and it's so effing hard to find a pair of shoes below two hundred thousands IDR with good quality.

Gonna go back later for picking up some pump! *Oh, payday, come early please?*

Btw, I found this pic at Google, is it my eyes, or is it the store at Jakarta much bigger than the one at PVJ? *not fair. Hiks.

Itchy Eye

Well, calon penganten pun ternyata bisa kena bintitan. Hahhaha.. Go laugh about it.. Sebel guee.. Gara2 ini, wiken kemaren sangat amat tidak produktif alias mejeng di rumah doang. Padahal agendanya mah udh full banget kesana kemari ngurus ini-itu as usual. Gagal semua rencana.

Karna masih bengkak aja tu kelopak mata kiri gue udah dua hari, akirnya kemaren ke dokter mata. Dicekbebicek, bintitannya ada tiga ajah gituuu.. Fantaaassss ampe bengkak dan merah gitu dan bawaannya pengen gagaro wae (red: garuk2 mulu), gateeel abis!

Berkat kunjungan kemaren, gua pun jadi tau kalo mata kiri sama mata kanan ternyata minusnya lumayan sodara2.. Pantesan skrg kalo baca dari jauh suka agak2 blur dan ujung2nya pusing.. Udah harus pake kacamata minus. Hadoooh, maleeees deh... Tapi untungnya dokternya santayyy, "diobatin dulu aja bengkaknya, baru kita cek lagi minusnya yang bener berapa." Hohohoo, bageus. Tapi teuteuuup untuk sekarang ini kudu make kacamata, yang abal2 aja sih, buat ngecover si mata bintitan dari debu kalo keluar rumah. Sebenernya pake sunnies juga bisa, tapi kan gua kemana2 pake angkot, ntar nambah dosa orang gara2 ngatain gue.. Heuheu.. Jadi, barusan aja beli. Setelah dipake, eh, kok lucu juga. Bahahahah.. Ditambah lagi, si adik iri pengen pake kacamata juga *yeah, I know, ngaco emang tu anak*

Does it fit on me? *biar kata bintitan, narsis mah jalan terooos*

Si kelopak mata kiri udah mendingan walopun masih agak petet ;D

Pelajaran penting in this case:

Kalo mata Anda kedutan, jangan ngarep bakal dapet rejeki. Justru siap-siap, itu pertanda mau bintitan. Sekian.

Sundul, Gan!

Hari minggu kemaren pacar ke Bandung ampe Senin, walopun niat utamanya nemenin gue yg lg ulang taun (suiiit suiiiit, hahaaaa!), tapi tentunya gue karyakan sebaik2nya dong! Jadilah kita yalan2 di kota kembang kempis ini.

Dateng2 langsung ditodong nganterin kondangan di Dago. Trus buru2 melesat ke Pasteur, karna si neng Ana udah janjian sama Teh Lela yang mekapin pas lamaran ntar. Maksud ijk mo ketemu sih sebenernya pgn bayar DP duluw, tapi Teh Lelanya gak mau. Jadi agak sia2 gimanaaa gitu ketemuannya. Heuheu. Tapi seengganya jadi tau bentuknya Teh Lela kaya apa. ;D

Abis itu mo bikin beskap resepsi dan nyewa beskap akad di Belva. Kang Ivannya lagi gak ada, to cut the story, ada untungnya juga, karna ternyata beskap udh diurusin sama Tante Aam, dukun mantenkuh. Baru aja tadi siang diambil lagi contoh kain sama payetnya. Meh, malu deh gue, kagak jadi bikin disitu..

Cerita selanjutnya gak berurutan nih ya. Pokonya urusan wedding band, rebes gan! Untung gue inget, ada temen yg dari jaman SD dulu, udh doyan nyanyi dan dia sempet masuk Elfa's juga. Smsan, usut punya usut, ternyata dia emg punya band sendiri dan emg sering juga nyanyi di nikahan. Sayah langsung hepi. Nah kemaren itu gue dan si pacar ke rumahnya, buat ngobrolin konsep bandnya, sekalian nengok bayinya temen gue itu, baru sebulan, lucuuuk abis. Berhubung gak ngerti konsep band yg bagus buat ntar, gue serahkan pada ahlinya aja. Jadi gue tinggal bikin songlistnya aja. Yang mana sampe sekarang masih dalam tahap finishing *emang rumah?!*

Ketemu Tante Tjatjih yang ntar ngehias seserahan juga udah. Maksudnya mau bentar nanya2 soal seserahan, malah jadi ngalor ngidul ngobrolnya. Maklumlah yah, ibu-ibu *this refers to me, also*

Oh, well. Tapi ngobrol panjang ada hikmahnya kok. Jadi tergerak buar ngedatengin Angel Invitation di Jl. Wastukencana. Dan dummy undangan pun harusnya udah jadi Kamis mingdep. Speaking of undangan, gue mao pengsan deh liat dummy2 undangan disitu, amazed that people could spend too effing much on invitation cards *suara hati cepewe dengan bajet ketat*.

Last but not least. I've already made options for pre-wedding venues. Options loh mohon digarisbawahi. Kemaren itu baru sempet liat2 Congo, Cocorico, Hotel Geulis, dan Hummingbird. Eh, sama ngintip Hotel The Amarossa dikit. Mau liat2 gak bisa, lagi ada acara soalnya. Masih pengen liat Badung sama D' Batoe. Ngabarin Kang Ipung soal ini, jawabnya cuma, "semua juga bagus da, yang penting mah dipikirin wardrobenya yah, soalnya sekarang mah prewed teh lebih ke fashion photography sih". Jedeeeenngg! *ngintip isi lemari* Mateeek! Adakah yang mo jadi stylish gue ntar? ;D

Oh. Well. Still. Twenty Something.

There he goes my utterly UN-romantic boyfriend. Asking me to pick my own bday gift. Hahaa, dont mind for sure :)

Here are worthy captured things from my bday. Which you can easily see, most of 'em are food ;D Btw, my nemo certainly is not a romantic person, but he's willingly took a leave on my birthday, and eventho there's a little drama before we had lunch that day, but he calmed the the bridezilla down *as always*. Heheheeh..

Birthday Cupcakes from SafaCake :) I love its cheese cupcakes. I love its sweet buttercream. Thanks Mbak Dini.

Birthday girl was so starving that she could eat a man. She ordered this at Cocorico. Some kind of appetizer made from dory fish. Wont ever order this food no more. The only good thing about it was only its tartar sauce.

A chicken fillet filled with spinach and cheese by Cocorico. I forget its name. But it tasted lovely. My nemo ordered it. Success.

Sop Buntut Bakar ordered by birthday girl at Cocorico. Not succeeded. Birthday girl hates celery, and she found it in the soup. I think I can easily find many restaurant serving Sop Buntut Bakar better than this.

Vanilla Creme Brulee by Cocorico. The nicest dish which birthday girl had ordered. Yum-O!

Apple Cinnamon Crepes at Hummingbird Eatery. A-Must-Try!!!

The too salty Escargot at Hummingbird Eatery. Taste good actually, only it's too salty.
