A Magical Dream [Trial Edited Photos]

Hello, people!

For the past months, I got chance to work with one of my friend, Hana, to make my brand catalogs. Photos were taken by my friend, Tirza.  This part's so random - I tried to edit some of Hana's photos and it got me thinking 'Can I be a magazine editor someday?'. I really love magazines since I was a little girl. Being someone who works for any kind of magazines would be such a magical dream; adventure, fashion, folk, indie, business, any type of magazines that ever exist, haha! 

I edited Hana's photos into a cover magazine. You know, when you go to a bookstore and there's a magazine shelves and you get really excited about it. When you take a peak, there's a lot of beautiful magazines with inspiring covers - and that's the time I really like about falling in love with magazines: the cover. So I tried to make one, or two using photoshop. Here are the results.

Plain version.

No plain version.

I really like color play in a canvas, picture, photo, any media that show the colors. But, I still like to put a simplicity element in any kind of my works. I don't know, I think it still needs some editing, these pictures. I'm still learning though. I promise I won't stop trying to find my way to work on a magazine. I can see that one day I'll be someone. (So that's my spirit, I hope it's contagious to you all.)

Cheers.

Comfort Zone: Being Sick

This is not what it looks like.

Hear my story first, then you'll sum up yourself.

I've been thinking about myself and my healthy life style recently. It's annoying, knowing that my weight is a little bit over-weight than normal people have. I have a disease history and sometimes it got relapsed. I once had typhus when I was about 11 years old; I did any activities that I could and I forced myself to do those and unconsciously my body felt both hot and cold, and exhausted for days. And it was when all started. I already got typhus for more than three times. The distance of me being sick of typhus could be close, it's about more or less a couple years. There's always a feeling and symptoms before I get sick. When I eat too much spicy food combine with forcing myself to do stuffs till late, I start to feel it. The more I feel, the more I fear. This is probably the worst thing I have in my life, be afraid of getting and feeling what I don't want to get, and feel. I can't say it's trauma, but it's more like that... I guess. 

So, what I'm trying to say here is that I'm not comfortable being sick (who wants to get sick, no one for sure). But my body feels like that it's its comfort zone of being sick (again and again). The effect of it in my life could be anything. I can't force too much doing my normal routines (but in my college life, it's all about forcing yourself to reach the goals), I can't get too tired and having less healthier food all the time. I mean, this is all my fault. I started to have cheating life and bad life style, by not having healthy food oftentimes, and having less exercise. I always try to do new things in having healthier life style, but when I force to be healthier (like recently I'm on diet), I get sick too. So I think my body can't accept anything that is over and too much of things. Normal life is the best choice to my body. But, you know, when you want to get out of your comfort zone and you need to do a little bit harder and challenge yourself, it could be better for your experience. What I mean about challenge myself is to do beyond my limit, not just about being healthier, but being better as a person. 

You may say I'm talking nonsense, but I'm just trying to share what I think about my body. And so far, I love it, and I try to love more about my weakness. You should too.

Can I Be Myself?

The more I know, the more I moron

The more I rich, the more I poor

The more I sane, the more I blind

The more I impress, the more I fail

The more I quiet, the more I wise

The more I great, the more I bad

The more I learn, the more I gain

The more I stay, the more I happy

---

Words from mind at night. Can I just be myself? Be who I am in front of bunch of people who see me as thing not human, who see me as misfortune not fortune, who see me as failure not opportunity. 

I Prefer Blogger

Hi there!

So, you can call new member here in Blogger. At first I started my blog here, then a couple years ago I moved to my tumblr blog. But, I kinda missing the template and easy-edited layout in Blogger, in fact it's so much easier to manage anything here. So I'm happily back here, ready to explore more about poetry, photography (analog, to be more specific), and probably my English (it's getting worse everyday, ugh). Also, I guess some of my tumblr posts will be posted here I'm not sure what for hahaha. Just wondering what you all doing while you read my blog. It's weird. Yeah, I think it's weird. Be ready for upcoming posts, hope you'll have a good day... or night!
