Blurt: Ants + Inspos + Corals

Happy Easter!

Great easter holiday its been for me. It should've been a holiday for the whole week (since the 12th graders are doing their national exams) but my school is just being a b*tch and asked us to come in anyway -__- Meh. So yeah, got a 3-day holiday.

During the holidays, the weirdest thing just happened. So I recently bought Colgate Total just coz I was running low on my regular toothpaste and brushed as usual. The next morning, I saw a whole swarm of ants on my washbowl. SO WEIRD! Like, why would ants be on a washbowl right? Then I saw where the swarm was most "crowded", and I saw like a thin strip of leftover toothpaste I had dropped when I wet my toothbrush before actually using it after putting toothpaste on. Then after, I came to a conclusion; Colgate Total attracts ants. -__- Which means, its sweet. So um... Sweet minty toothpaste :D thats pretty contradictory isn't it.

I don't really do work on my long holidays so I prefer browsing the net and looking for inspirations and stuff and came across a post from Sushi-Cat's Jenny (I LOVE HER!) with snippets and inspos from a particular Japanese magazine, and I thought, "yeah, I should do this too!" I've got quite a lot from recent collections and magazines so I'll just post my favorite 6 on top and the rest after the jump :D



Although all these are pretty, the one on the left was the one that caught my eye.

Moighty Noice

So I was looking around at Vimeo (the more artsy, HDed version of YouTube) the other day and came across this short ad for Dominos Pizza:

After I saw that, it completely blew me away. Artistically, its so cool! Something you can definitely watch over and over again. Me being an aspiring designer myself, I know how hard it is to come up with an idea, AND THIS IS JUST BRILLIANT! This is made by a Sydney-based animation studio called Mighty Nice. Their videos sure are mighty nice LOL. So yeah, I'm not gonna blab about on them cuz that's for you to find out yourself (gives them more credit too), buuutt I am gonna post my favorites. If you wanna read more about them, click [here], or visit their vimeo channel [here].

Below are some of my favorite videos. Don't worry if your internet is slow or anything. None of these are above 10min in duration. Some are even just below 1 minute! So go on! BUFFERRRRRRRRR AWAAAAAAYYY!!!





POTAPYCH IS SO SAD :'( AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

One's Company, Two's a Crowd and Three's a Party

WOW HAHA! Now this, my friend, is something worth celebrating. YYEAAA--... err, yeah. Okay. I may have eaten a little too much sugar. OH! But I'm cutting my sugar intake though ;) It's not a sin to spoil yourself every once in a while yknoowww. I have this love/hate relationship with sugars; I absolutely love anything sweet (if you dont, GET YOURSELF A FREAKIN MARS BAR AND A MACAROON AND SHOVE IT IN YOUR MOUTH! Now watcha gonn saay bit--okay...)




So yeah, I've been browsing and looking at online shops, namely Free People and Pixie Market. FREE PEOPLE SHIPS TO INDONESIA NOW!! HAHAA~ THE BLISS. They also have free shipping for new "friends" (I have no idea when you're counted as friends by the "free peoples"). We all know and hate shipping costs that doubles or even triples the original price of the item you bought. Plus, the prices in Free People and Pixie Market aren't really the once you can easily just say "okay" to. MEH. The clothes are awesome nonetheless, so here are the things I want want want!

Update: New Desktop!

I've been sooo behind on things lately. There's been a lot going on with school starting again and stuff. Although, that isn't a good excuse isn't it? School just started yesterday. MMMHH well, the "real" reason is probably cause I just don't have anything to write about. Nothing new I guess... Oh! and I've been caught up in sooo many games. Those close to me might know I'm a total game freak.


OH! OH! But I have been busy! I've started my internship (another reason to dress up) at First Media Design School a couple whiles ago and I'm really getting hands-on experience designing! HAHA! I've actually created my first vector illustration (although resources were used, so it wasn't purely mine). I'm not gonna post it here since it's not for public display CONFIDENTIAL! SHHH!! heheh sooo yeah. Oh and just a little update, me and my friends are planning to go to bali this school holiday :D It's pretty hard since it's in the high season and everything just gets a surcharge GRRRRR!! 


Okay so that was just a quick update on anything moi. I've actually found out something new to do with my mac from my friend called GeekTool. It's this sorta System Preferences Module or plug-in thing idk. BUT it allowed me to do THIS:





The one on the far right is where the GeekTool did it's magic.



That's actually the exact date and time as I'm writing this! So that's cool. I used the tutorial and formatting (although I made a few tweaks) from I Am Awesome. His (or her?) tutorial and desktop sample can be found here. Very useful, very easy to follow, and once you get the hang of it, you can develop your own! Here are some other examples of great desktops made with GeekTool. OH! almost forgot. GeekTool can be downloaded here for free!

Just incase you were wondering:

Everybody Go Ape

Those who're Free Wired might already know that Far-East Movement just had their first ever Jakarta concert on the 15th at Istora Senayan. Three words: It. Was. SICK! Totally awesome concert they put up. Despite the 3-hour long opening act (YES! THAT long. Imagine those standing up), the concert was great! They can really get the crowd pumped up especially with their most popular songs, Like A G6 and Rocketeer.



First up was DJ Mikey Moran opening the concert. He played lots of mainstream electro pop music mixes to get the crowd pumped up. I've never heard of him before (well, maybe also because I don't really look into the Jakarta party scene) but he's pretty goood. It's not easy to create a vibe. Especially when you're not the one people are paying to see. Next up was The Angels of Percussion and DJ Devina. They were okay. Just okay. After, it just got worse. It was downright horrible. And when I say horrible, I mean HORRIBLE. This local artist named Leeya (I think?) came out in a fail Katy Perry inspired dress -_- I mean, seriously?

Well, after are more DJs. DJ Mikey came out again, then Jay Smoove who was real smooth with the ladies I guess hahahaa~ A girl was actually brought up to the stage and he sang for her and gave her 2 roses. Woah. His dancers were really cool tho. After that, more DJs; DJ TWIST feat. RAD/BOT (idk who they are -_- local I guess?). They were fine but I still think DJ Mikey was better.

Then, after a whole 2-3 hours of waiting, DJ Virman from Far-East Movement finally came out. You could really hear the difference between him and the other DJs that performed last night. Finally, after long hours of waiting, the other 3/4 of Far-East Movement came out; Kev Nish, J-Splif, and Prohgress. Oh! They also brought Kayla Kai who was featured in White Flag with them. The concert is what you'd expect it to be. A full hour of pumped up energy from them. BUT it could've been better if they had performed longer... -__-

Well, I guess that's it. There's not much to tell really. You just have to be there to know :)


xx

P.S. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures -_- I was too lazy to bring a camera and the lights were too blinding for my phone to capture it

Victoria's Secret Angels by Seth Sabal

One word: Gorgeous!


"Some of our favorite portraits come from New York based photographer Seth Sabal, and his latest portrait series starring four Victoria’s Secret Angels is certainly no exception. Capturing leggy beauties Miranda KerrCandice SwanepoelErin Heatherton and Lily Aldridge, Sabal shows off a new side of these sexy bombshells" -Fashion Gone Rogue
Miranda Kerr. My favorite picture out of all♥

Candice Swanepoel

Lily Aldridge

Erin Heatherton
Too bad Rosie isn't featured here :'( But hey! at least Miranda's there! One of my favorite VS Angel portraits!


Oyeah, I also found Rosie's Spring 2011 Catalogue pictures! OH FINALLY SHE'S BACK WITH VS!! Let's just hope she's featured in more ads and campaigns. I'm getting kinda sick of Candice's face everywhere. Not saying she's not pretty, she is! But it's just too much sometimes if her face is on every VS catalogue.


Btw, VS is suddenly the craze in school I have no idea why. Not that I'm against it. I'm actually happy people don't think of lingerie as something "taboo" to talk about. Well, It's not that extreme as to say it's a taboo but well, you know what I mean, right?



She's gorgeous here! Rosie♥

Stam I Am

HEYY! Things have been rather rough lately so I haven't got the time to write anything. BUT when I saw the new Juicy ad, I just had to write.


Those close to me know that I am obsessed with models, and one of my favorites is Jessica Stam.





One of my favorites of all time. Well, me being my usual self, I like to guess who the model on a certain editorial is.


So when I saw this Juicy Couture ad, I was definite that the girl on the left was Jessica Stam and I also kinda recognize the girl on the right. I think she's Hanne Gaby something :p Not really lovin' her so yeah. 

Turns out I was wrong!
I searched everywhere for the picture under the label "Jessica Stam" and found nothing. I quickly changed my search to "Juicy Spring Ad" and found the picture. There were the credits in the Women Management Blog and none of the models' names were Jessica Stam. Turns out, that girl who looked exactly like Stam is none other than the Ukrainian beauty, Viktoriya Sasonkina.




MINDFUCKING STRIKING RESEMBLANCE

I don't like her as much as Stam but she does take good pictures. She has a stronger bone structure and thinner brows. OH! and she doesn't have Stam's famous lashes ;)

OH! and I'd like to apologize for not posting the long overdued 3rd and 4th part of the Smitten "series" yet. I haven't gotten my hands on the pictures I took there. It's all in my dad's camera and yeeeaaahh... I do have the haul pictures so maybe I'll do the hauling first. Meh. Just see what I decide on later :)
