saya suka foto (grafi)

belakangan gue suka liat-liat foto orang di FB.. entah karena pengen liat2 ada update apa di hidup teman2 gue (maklum, rasa kepo nya lagi tingkat tinggi hehe) , entah pengen liat foto2 bagus dengan angle2 bagus, dan editan2 bagus..love those pics!

beriringan dengan tingkat kekepoan gue terhadap foto2 orang yang meningkat, tingkat kenarsisan gue jadi menurun (haha). gue udah ga sesering minta difoto-foto kaya dulu, apalagi foto2 sendiri.. udah jarangg banget..haha... gue lebih suka ngeliat foto2 orang sekarang.. apalagi foto yang keren2..

jadi pengen belajar fotografi! jadi pengen belajar ngedit foto! seneng deh ngeliat foto2 bagus, angle2 unik, dan editan keren. pengenn banget bisa kaya gitu. tapi apa daya, begitu pegang kamera, yang ada gue bingung sendiri, gimana ya cara foto yang bagus? gimana ya biar moto yang ga standard? dan kalo udah jadi, mau ngedit, nge blank deh..bingung, ga akrab sama si photoshop sih, jadi ga tau harus ngapain..hehehe..

kagum deh sama yang bisa foto, yang punya talent di bidang fotografi, n yg bisa ngedit2 foto.. ko bisa sih, mikir gimana caranya moto kaya gitu, ngedit kaya gitu? pengen donk diajarin.. anyone? hehe

pernah sih ikut seminar fotografi di kampus, waktu itu kerja sama bareng darwis triadi. menurut om darwis, tips nya cuma 1 : sering motret! haha.. nah itu dia, kalo mau moto, gw kebanyakan mikir sih, jadinya ga maju2 deh..haha... sering takut dulu, takut hasilnya jelek, takut hasilnya standard, bla bla bla..padahal mah tinggal jepret doank.. ih, kadang2 gue suka keterlaluan deh ga pede n perfeksionisnya hahaha...

terus, gue suka 'nyalah2in' kamera gue..gw suka beralasan kamera gw ga bagus..haha kasian juga ya kamera gue..walo udah agak tua tapi sbnrnya masih bagus sih.. tapi ya emang lah jauh kalo dibanding kamera SLR hehe.. tapi sbnrnya sih bukan salah kamera, wong gue moto pake SLR pun hasilnya gitu2 aja hahaha...mngkn kalo ga bakat2 amat susah kali ya...

jadi pengen hunting foto nih! tapi gue cuma suka foto2 model, dlm arti foto2 orang dan momen.. gue ga terlalu suka foto objek, apalagi pemandangan..lebih ga ngerti lagi soalnya hehehehe..


neway, ini beberapa foto dari foto session terakhir yang gue suka..:) both are photographed by kwok albert and edited by marcel spencer








teman2ku yang suka foto, hunting foto yuk! kita gantian aja jadi modelnya..lumayan kan nambah2in koleksi foto pribadi..gue dah lama nih ga nambah koleksi foto pribadi hehehehee...

Maaf, saya bukan artis!

Pulang kantor sore tadi, seperti biasa gue nebeng temen ke depan kompleks dan nunggu ojek langganan disitu. belom lama gue nunggu, tiba-tiba ada seorang bapak dengan anak kecil yang manggil gue. mau ngapain? minta foto!


Bapak : Mbak...foto donk! (megang kamera, sambil nunjuk anaknya yang udah setengah lari ke arah gue)
Gue : .... (kaget, bingung,curiga tapi nggak bisa ngomong apa-apa. mau nolak gimana caranya?)

Si anak pun sampe di samping gue, terus dia tanya ke bapaknya : 'dimana fotonya? gimana?'

Bapak : 'Ya udah berdiri aja disitu, sambil digandeng Mbak nya.' (lalu siap-siap mau foto)

gue : .... (masih bingung, kaget, tapi masih nggak bisa ngomong apa-apa)

*klik* si bapak pun moto

setelah itu si anak berlari ke arah bapaknya lagi, dan si bapak melambaikan tangan ke gue sambil bilang, 'makasih ya, mbak!'


gue : ... (cuma bisa mengangguk sambil tersenyum kecil. mau ngomong apa?)



ih! aneh nggak sih?

pertama, gue bukan artis, ngapain juga dia minta-minta foto sama gue
kedua, kenal gue juga ga, ngapain foto bareng?
ketiga, itu tempat rame, kenapa harus sama gue, kenapa ga sama satpam, tukang ojek, ato yang lain aja fotonya?

walo ga bisa nolak, berbagai macam pikiran negatif langsung muncul pas dia minta foto dan setelahnya; takut diincer besok-besoknya, takut disalahgunakan fotonya, sampe kepikiran takut di santet hahaha (well, untuk yg terakhir, gw percaya gw punya Tuhan yg lebih berkuasa dari santet manapun hehe).

gue tau sih ga boleh negative thinking, tapi gimana dnk, menurut gue itu aneh banget. dan ini jakarta, tempat kejahatan terjadi dimana-mana, kapan aja, dan dengan cara apa aja..well, i cant help it..


yah, gue cuma bisa berdoa, smoga kekhawatiran gue ga terjadi..smoga itu bapak-bapak emang beneran iseng aja foto gw sama anaknya..yah, siapa tau aja tu bapak n anaknya kira gue mirip artis siapa gitu jadi minta foto..hahahaa ...

re-decorated! Yippie!

baru aja nemuin teknologi yang bisa ngubah background buat blog setelah liat blognya fenny

abis itu, setelah dengan sangat excited ngubek2 blogger templates dari deluxe templates , inilah hasil dari seleksi yang paling gue suka dan menurut gw paling mencerminkan gw (hahaha milih2 blogger template aja pake dipikirin panjang kali lebar! ckckck )

so, how's it? Do you like it? :)

is there any 'pause' button?

feels like my life has been fast fowarded recently. so fast that somehow it's scary.
It's October now! tinggal 2 bulan lagi, dan bentar lagi udah mau tahun baru lagi.

rasanya baru kemaren gw ngejalanin kerja praktek. and here i am, setahun kemudian, udah bener2 berstatus pegawai, bukan lagi anak magang.

rasanya baru kemarin ngurusin Tugas Akhir yang ribet dan stressful banget, and here i am, ampir 4 bulan kemudian, udah mulai cari2 kebaya buat wisuda.

kadang, gw bisa tiba-tiba baru inget sama 'status' baru gw. baru inget kalo gw udah lulus, udah kerja, dan udah punya pacar haha. last year, i had no idea about those things.

saking cepetnya,sepertinya gue ga perlu lagi berharap-harap dan menunggu-nuggu akan datangnya suatu event ato momen, karena dalam sekejap mata, hal atau hari yang gue tunggu-tunggu itu bahkan udah tinggal kenangan. scary.

feels like i am on a marathon run. too fast that i cant take a breath and take a break.

is there any 'PAUSE' button?

if there is, i wish He would press 'PAUSE' for just a moment, and let me take a breath.

welcome to this 'october - weddings- month'

well, it's October, it's wedding month! haha.. i dunno why, seems like (almost) everyone's getting married on this october. i had received 3 invitation on the beginning of this month, and if it added with my mom's and boyfriend's invitation, there are 2 more,and, i know 2 more couples which are getting married on this october too(but i am not invited hehe) so, from whom i know only, there are 7 couples getting married! wow! =D

1 of these 7 couples is my cousin, 1 is my relative, and my another cousin is getting maried on november; so, my big family is preparing for those big days.. no wonder, this marriage topic is a hot topic. ckckck..

really have no idea what it's feel like to get married, to have a husband, to have our own family.. and, different from any other girls, who have dreamed about their wedding day since they were kids, i havent really thinking about my wedding day.. even a couple month ago, that marriage topic was a big no no topic and i really didnt want to talk about it.. allergic to that topic somehow.. hehe

well, right now i dont feel allergic to that topic, thanks to my Dear God who has given me someone special so those marriage things wont be a far-far-far away and unreachable topic anymore hahahaha. BUT i still feel strange about those topics, and those arent my top priorities right now (so, in case u ask me if i am about to get married, the answer is no, i wont be getting married in for a time being )

we all know that marriage is a big thing and those who are ready to get married, supposed to be ready to take the risks too.. it's not only about love, ceremonial things, reception, party, or else, but it's far deeper and more complicated. it's a life changing moment (or event?). it wont be easy, becoz it needs patience, commitment,and a well matured characters. somehow i think a successful and a long lasting marriage is a blessed marriage, becoz human being cant really take care of their own marriage and their own lives if it's not by God's grace and God's strength. dont u agree? too many 'ideals' couples we know are divorced, especially them, celebrities ; actress and actors. there's no guarantee that a (seems like) ideal couple will last forever.. well, it scared me somehow..but i believe in God and God;s grace, after all, my life is all about His grace. so, what to worry? =)

i believe i'll get married one day, i dunno when, but i pray to God that He will prepares me from now on, so by the time comes, I (n my future husband) will be ready and will have a long lasting and succesful marriage =D. amen.


for those who are getting married on this wedding months, CONGRATULATIONS! really happy for you all, and best wishes!
