Sedikit coret-coret

2011-05-15T22:55:00.000+07:00

Saat ini saya entah mau ketawa miris atau bingung,
saat didalam keadaan yang tidak memungkinkan untuk berbicara direct/duabelahpihak/eye to eye,
saya mencoba berbicara lantang alias ngetwit (haha)
eh tau-taunya malah salah sasaran, malah orang lain yang sensi dan geer.
Well.
I know I was not going to be right by this,
but all in all, why the hell I ever considered to try on the first place?
Stupid me.

Ten Things and Increment

2011-04-26T23:57:00.000+07:00

ngikutin dari blognya Jude, http://judywilhelmina.blogspot.com/2011/04/speaking-of-ten.html
makaaaa
gue juga ikutan ngisi.
hahaha.

here it is:

Ten things about yourself:
1. I'm a super-moody person
2. Suka ceramahin orang. Hahaha (jarang sih tapi)
3. I love to eat, no doubt about that.
4. Lebih seneng masak sendiri dibanding eat at fancy-restaurant. Kinda uncomfy.
5. Kadang-kadang saya orangnya PEDE banget, kadang-kadang malah minder abis. Tergantung mood.
6. Kalo sekalinya tidur, susah bangunnya.
7. Suka sekali coret-coret (nulis, gambar, sketch doodle-diddly-do) dimana saja, malah sering nyerempet vandalism dan rusak fasilitas umum. Eh tapi bukan vandalism kronis, ya. Vandal kecil2an :)
8. Orang-orang terdekat saya menjuluki saya 'Disaster Hand' karena almost everything I touched- I destroyed.
9. Pelupa /ceroboh
10. mmm, this is kinda private, saya orangnya tempramental (efek anak bungsu, haha).

Nine favorite songs:
1. You're Not Alone - Saosin
2. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
3. Under Pressure versi The Used feat MCR
4. This Is Me - Demi Lovato
5. Born This Way - Lady Gaga
6. Remembering Sunday - All Time Low
7. Everybody's changing - Keane /acoustic version
8. The Harold Song - ke$ha
9. Changing - Saosin

masih sangat banyak sih, tapi saat ini di playlist dengan most-played song yaaa itu2.

Eight things you love/like:
1. My religion.
2. My Family
3. Homemade cookings and foods.
4. The Simpsons & Family Guy & Spongebob Squarepants
5. INTERNET!
6. Typography and sketches.
7. Guitar and acoustic songs
8. Urban goodies

Seven people you're glad to have in your life:
1. My family
2. My boyfriend (prikitiww)
3. My actual-real friends
4. ...
5.
6.
7..........yeah.

Six things you dislike:
1. Bangun pagi-pagi trus buru-buru kekampus, ternyata dosen ga datang.
2. Melihat adegan yang ironis/sedih. Soalnya gue orangnya sensitif *uhui
3. PMS. Seriously, my mood is uncontrollable saat pms.
4. Ketika ada orang sotoy tentang graphic design.
5. Kalo ada yang ngerendahin, rasanya pengen di tonjok. Haha (boleh kan?)
6. Kalo ada yang melecehkan hal-hal yang gue suka. Intinya gue ga suka yang namanya direndahkan.

Five things you wish to say to five different people right now:
1. Mama, Papa, Abang: Ayo liburan bareng di apartemen, kangen banget :(
2. Dummy: lusa cari sate padang yang ori, yuk. Love you :*
3. Nanda, Iffa, Dinda: Besok skip kelas KIEP aja ya? Asli males bangun pagi gue.
4. X: Hey, umm... *smirk*
5. Operator Pizza Hut: Tolong meat lovers personalnya 1, trus Cheesy Galore personal juga 1, dua-duanya pake stuffed crust keju, ga pake saus tomat dan tomat.

Four ways to win your heart:
1. Charming face. Quirky personality.
2. When you know how to debate me about Graphic Design
3. When you know what to discuss fairly about The Simpsons, Family Guy and Spongebob Squarepants
4. Be just the way you are, don't try too hard to be cool if you're not, don't be so hard to act like a hipster if you're just alay, etc, something like that.

Three things you'll most likely never forget:
1. My half-death accident when I was 16 yearsold. (28 Oct 2007)
2. When I saw dad so sad saw mom in hospital's bed, couldn't do nothing but pray to god (and silently weep)
3. When seeing my family tell any other relatives about how proud they are with me. That's...the most unforgettable moment.

Two things you do everyday:
1. Siklus Makan - Nonton - Tidur
2. Cek BB dan internet.

One confession:
1. ASLI LAGI MALES KULIAH BESOK. DAN BESOK. DAN BESOK.

Damn. Absurd. :))

HAAAAAAAAAH
cuma di blog ini gue bisa nulis seababil apapun.
soalnya nggak terlalu publik gitu (apasih)
haha.

I mean, not everyone knows this blog,
mostly they know my tumblr.

Pengen nulis sesuatu,
tapi males ngetiknya.
Coba ada alat yang bisa ngetik apa yang gue bilang. Tapi sayangnya nggak ada.

Intinya kali ini gue lag gak mood nulis dengan kata-kata yang rapih.
I try to appear just the way I am.
#halah

Ga penting ya.
Tapi gak apa2 deh, blog pribadi ini, siapa yang ngelarang?
kalo gak suka ya gausah baca.

zzzzz.
absurd :|
siplah, lanjut lagi ke postingan berikutnya...

I'm (maybe) back

2011-04-26T23:22:00.000+07:00

Hey!

Udah lama banget ya ga nulis di blog?
terakhir gue nge-post oktober 2010,
let's count... it's been... 6 bulan ga ada ngeblog. Dan juga jurnal di deviantArt malah udah 8 bulan ga ada di update (padahal sebelumnya gw sering banget ngepost tulisan disini dan update journal di deviantArt, bisa dibilang malah sedikit blog-abuser deh haha)

entahlah. Things go on, times change people.
I'm older. I changed.
*sepik*

Umm, where to start, ya?
A lot of things happened.
2011 diawali dengan banyak kejadian ga enak.
Ya begitu.

Mendadak males aja dengan semua blog-blog yang ada, gue cuma fokus dengan twitter, tumblr dan deviantArt doang. Yang lainnya (flavors, blogger, wordpress, facebook, myspace, behance, flickr ---gw abaikan)

Emang semua hal itu ada masa-nya ya... Dulu gue cukup jumawa kalo gue aktif di social-networking and blogging,
but there was a point when I am so bored, and idea-less about everything.

Apa lagi ya...
segitu dulu. #apasih

Well.

2010-10-07T09:36:00.001+07:00

Is it just me or some mass hiding something I shoudn't know?

Hey hooo!

2010-10-05T22:37:00.001+07:00

Quite times didn't update my blog.
Well.

I don't even update (too much) on my web. Or deviantArt. Or Behance. Or Flickr.

I'm on a rush.

3 months ago, I talk and beg to God, "God, please give me jobs/freelancing WHILE I'm on my 3 months Campus Off."

But God knows best, in the previous 3 month I didn't do something.

---
So right now, when my third semester already started, there're 9 jobs come to me. 3 documentation (Photograph) and the others 6 are design + typography. Why thank you God even if it's kinda late to anwer the pray...But God knows best.

I don't know should I happy or thankful enough, because my classes already give me a lot of projects, lab's testing and other task/works to do to along the semester,
Meanwhile I'm dealing w/ my freelance jobs - which are kinda ... Eh, uncontrolled.

Maybe because it came all at a time.
Well.

I lost my idea in the middle of this writing.
Anyway if you kinda wondering or wanna ask something, don't bother to mail me at: eugeniaclara [at] live [dot] com

...I'll appreciated that, if you would to.
Heh heh. #random

P.s: sometimes I updated my blog via my phone (like I do now), because it easier and direct to the blog, I can keep the idea before it runs out. Hehe.

It's so hard to move on, you know?

I'm not that kinda stone cold heart.
I don't like farewell.

Setiap on the way ke bandara, pasti senang banget karena pulang kerumah.

Dan beberapa hari sebelum balik ke Jakarta,
Sometimes in the night when everyone falls asleep, I cry.
You can say I'm a crybaby but,
Sebagai perempuan yang pergi merantau untuk menuntut ilmu di pulau seberang, meninggalkan rumah (lagi) itu bukan hal yang mudah.

Gue udah terbiasa bangun pagi ngeliat kamar sendiri, ngeliat mama, papa...

Dan kalo balik ke Jakarta, gue cuma kembali ke kamar kost gue yang sering berantakan. Sendiri. Bangun sendiri. Makan sendiri. Nonton sendiri. Serba mandiri.

Itu yang ngebuat gue sedih. Kembali ke rutinitas kampus dll. Dan entah kapan gue dapat libur panjang yg bener-bener free biar bisa pulang ke rumah. Susah ninggalin rumah. I'll be missing mom and dad a lots. Mungkin karena gue anak bungsu kali ya? Gue yang paling cengeng. Tapi gue ga cengeng-cengeng bangetlah... Kalo di kampus, ketemu temen-temen, ketemu sama si ehem-ehem, dll gue bisa mengalihkan perasaan homesick ini. Tapi kalo udah malem, waktu gue pulang ke kost... Disanalah gue jadi termenung, dan homesick kronis melanda.

Sungguh rasanya sekarang gue gak mau balik ke jakarta. Gue gak mau bulan Ramadhan ini berakhir. Karena kalo udah Lebaran, tiket pesawat menuju Jakarta menunggu gue.

Tapi Life must go on, Show must keep going on. Suka gak suka gue harus meninggalkan rumah (dan selalu nangis sebelum ke bandara, pastinya) dan balik ke kamar kost yang dingin itu.

Gue ga bisa apa-apa selain berdoa kepada Allah supaya gue dikuatkan hatinya,

...Tapi ya Allah, kalo boleh, semoga Papa dipindahkan kerjanya ke Jakarta, ya Allah. Kalo gitu kan mama dan seluruh rumah juga pindah, hehe.

Amin.

There's a time when my laptop, wacom, sketchbook, all the games and internet things, TV, DVD and 'going out' are getting the higher level of bored.

And also there's a certain time when I know it's not fair.
And some of the old scars soak up.

Even pushed mind to cry is the hardest thing to do.
Cause I know I've been having these 'unfair' since I born.
I didn't get kill with that, and ain't deal well either.

Just all plain.
I'm turning off my taste buds.

I'm feeling like a white paper,
So plain.
So boring.

Everytime I do the right thing, I feel so sleepy.

That's why I'm so 'couch-potato' this month.
Do nothing useful.
Haven't create anything (in designs, esp.)

So F. Plain.

It's 2.47 AM

K, in order to get rid out of those scary movies from my brain, I'm watching some episodes of The Simpsons latest season.
And then, I found the old (actually not so old) movie file.

It was... The Proposal.

Oh my. I watched it 3 times and I still giggled and grinned. This movie never hold off the comedy side even if I wind-up the scenes for several scrolls.

I love Gammy. She's so friggin' funny!
But most of all.

...I love Ryan Reynold. Whoaa. He's so... Every good things in one pack.

Tee-hee. I don't even know why I wrote this.
Just wanna let you know,
Ryan Reynold.

Is so Hot.

Hee hee.

Thrill.

2010-08-10T00:37:00.000+07:00

Alright, it's 1 AM again,
And I'm watching the Happening for twice.
I remember for the first time I watched this, 2 years ago with my brother.

Well hey, I'm watching it again now. Alone.
And smh this kinda creep me out.
I've been watching scary movies for several numbers today. Woo, I'm so scaaareed.

Anyway I post this from my phone.
I hope anyone buzz me on im, so I'm not so scrrarreeeeed anymore.

2010-08-09T15:10:00.001+07:00

Alright,

Lot of things happen today though I'm not going anywhere,

I just want to say,
"You have to learn to control your mind. Not everyone has the same
visions with you. You can't push it. Go find another person you can
poison on."

I'm so in the roller-coaster mood today.

A Scrap for ...

2010-08-09T00:12:00.000+07:00

...Because some things are better left unsaid.
And so the reasons why 'used-to-be' best friends had to stay away.

Kinda missing them, no- not kinda, but lot of misses of them. As the time goes low, the amount of exchanging-text/email getting less and less. Until there was a point that hit us,

From "best-friend"
Into a "total stranger"

Alright, I'm talking about my bff from highschool. Like planets, we find our own path to orbit, 'the' different paths (Which in this case: we're going to different universities). Before the farewell, We promised to yeah-you-know, keep in touch and visit each other (we live in different city, even on dif.island too)

I thought I could resist the long-distance, but I was not. I admit. I admit I wasn't good enough as a friend for you guys. I might abandoned some of you (s) away, might be a little or more act like 'stuffed-out-shirt', or too busy with my new things. I know the gap between us is getting wider, and wider. I was walking too faraway and I can feel we're shattered.

Now that I'm home, to be honest, I miss you gals. Really. Really. Really miss those moments. I'm holding my old guitar and sing a song that we used to sing together (I know my guitar skill still sucks).

I open my old drawer and found our secret box. Photos of us. Tons of it.

:(

I guess it's the only memory that keeping me real. S, N, O, K, A, and F - do you know that I'm home right now?

You gals still can come to my house like we used to do.

07 Part.2

2010-08-08T08:09:00.000+07:00

The most awkward + thrilling dream ever.

I dreamt of somebody who struggle to survive from 'her' fatal accident.
This dream even showed me into the tiny little details of what actually happen, and how the event almost killed her. It was a mad-man - attacked her in the public place.

She lost her boobs and got serious damaged on her eyes (because of the brute-mad-man injured her in the major body parts)
And this girl, covered her eyes with her tiny hands and knee down next to me.
...And everything was so rated 'R' - I mean, full of violations, as speed as spedlight and came before my eyes.

God, I know it was so friggin' detailed and freaking me out when I woke up. The dream was so real. I can almost feel the pain too.

I just... Well... A little wondering.
How can I dream that detailed?
I didn't even watch action movie or something like that in the past month.
and, if you wondering,
This girl is happened to be 'somebody' I know and quite close in the past.

Man. Thrilled.
Is it really her truestory? I wish I can ask.

Listen to the same songs for times,
'til I get bored.
Sit and get nothing to do,
'til I get 'more' bored.
Try to lay on the couch and stare on the ceiling,
'til I'll be so damn much bored.

Even the ultimate-boring acts still can't make me fall asleep.

It's almost 1AM.

Man, what to do?

Chef Wiggum's Words.

2010-08-07T22:40:00.000+07:00

Terinspirasi dari salah satu episode di The Simpsons ( Seasons 21 - Episode 'Bob Next Door' / kalo ga salah ya..)

Chef Wiggum ngomong gini ke Lou,
"...I don't want to censored my self
That is how creativity dies!"

Well hey, I agree with you, Chef Wiggum!
Censored yourself is more like 'put a border' on what you do.
In the contrary, there's a popular belief, said: "We should live our live 'borderless' (dalam arti positif)."

Maaaaan, I really like this conversation between Wiggum and Lou. Hehe, it's quite rare wise words came from Chef Wiggum, IMHO. I think I'll create a typo-poster with these words soon. So true, yet so 'slap-in-the-face' fact.

I'm a total slacker this time.

Wake up, breakfast, nonton tv,

nonton dvd,

tiduran di sofa,

tertidur.

Kebangun trus makan, nonton lagi,

duduk diluar ngeliat suasana,

trus masuk kedalam rumah trus nonton lagi.

trus mandi. trus makan.

trus nonton sampai ketiduran.

Well.

I don't like this 40-inches creature,

following me for everything/everywhere I am.

When I watch the Simpsons at 6PM on Fox,

she asked why they all so yellow? And who's that pointy hairs like Lisa and Bart.

And she asked me Why I watch cartoon instead of the real movie?

Oh my God.

Nobody ever throw me critic about my habit watching Cartoon.

Hey, Everyone has rights to watch Cartoon, especially The Simpsons.

and this 40inches creature, I tell you, She talks super lot.

But I can see she's kinda smart like... Curious Monkey.

Oh well, I never have a good experience dealing with little creature.

...all I mean is this little girl, little 3 and a half years old.

Bengong

2010-08-02T03:09:00.000+07:00

Oke. Gue belum kelar packing.

Sekarang jam 3 pagi lewat dikit.

Pesawat gue berangkat jam 11 pagi.

Tapi pihak bandaranya nyuruh gue sampai disana jam 9.30 Pagi.

Dan dari kost gue ke bandara perlu waktu satu jam (tanpa macet) - kalo pake macet, bisa dua jam.

Berarti 3 jam lagi gue harus berangkat ke bandara.

Sementara gue mau tidur, tanggung banget. Gue yakin ga kebangun.

Jadi...

Disinilah gue.

Bongkar-bongkar harddisk lama, muter lagu-lagu zaman gue smp dan sma dulu (halah, kayak udah lamaaa aja :p)

Minum kopi pahit segelas, kopi manis segelas, kopi hambar segelas, dan cuci muka 3 kali, nonton tv,

apapun supaya gue ga ketiduran.

Ngantuk :|

SAMBUNGAN:

....meski abang gue ga barengan pulang kerumah besok, gak apa-apalah, yang penting waktu lebaran dia pulang. Abisnya kampusnya masih ada kuliah sampai deket lebaran.

Gue sebenarnya tanggal 30 Agustus masuk kuliah juga sih, cuma gue skip aja. Tanggung banget gue balik ke Jakarta tanggal 30 Agustus, kuliah seminggu trus tanggal 7 September (menurut Kalender Kampus) libur lagi sampai H+3 Lebaran. (Lebaran tanggal 10 September kan ya?). Mahal tiket pesawatnyaaa.
Padahal inti lebaran itu - gue mau sungkeman sama keluarga dan Keluarga besar dirumah. Gitu.

Teman sekelas gue, kalo bisa nitip absen, titip ya...

(terutama Dinda, yang jago malsuin tanda tangan gue. HAHAHA)

06 #1

2010-08-01T22:27:00.001+07:00

Packing.

Harusnya gue pulang tadi pagi. Tapi tiket pesawat tertunda sehari, jadi gue dapet jadwal jam 11 Pagi (apa siang ya?) untuk hari Senin, 2 Agustus 2010 dari Jakarta menuju SSK 2 (Kota Dumai) - sampai di Dumai gue langsung lanjut ke Duri (My beloved hometown! :D ) and meet my soul, ehm, I mean: Home and Family.

Well.

Setelah hampir setahun ga pulang kerumah, ada perasaan kangen yang 'beda' saat gue packing hari ini. Being away from your hometown for quite long time (imho) - there must be lots of changed. Misalnya, gue bertanya-tanya : wah, kamar gue dirumah udah berubah ga ya? Poster dan Gambar-gambar zaman gue SMA dulu dicabut mama gak ya? Koleksi komik gue masih ada gak ya?

atau, ada Mall baru gak ya di deket rumah? (hahaha :p )

Hal-hal semacam itulah kira-kira.

Dan... Sedikit jujur, gue agak 'kaku' mau ketemu beberapa teman-teman SMA gue dulu. Lots of things happen, especially to several names who got 'something' going on around. But, somebody told me to, "Let there be Peace, take your time and ready to start all over again."

Semoga gue ga berantem/slek sesampainya disana. Amin. Wish me luck :D

So, bye Jakarta, I'll be hibernated for 40days! :)

and Duri ... Here I come!

PHOTOGRAPHER vs. PHOTOSHOPER

2010-07-31T19:23:00.001+07:00

Oke, kali ini gue bakalan nulis sedikit pake emosi.

Akhir-akhir ini (well, sebenarnya udah lama juga sih) gue sering ngelihat beberapa fotografer (saya ulangi: BEBERAPA!) dengan marahnya update status / nge-tweet:

"Gue Fotografer, bukan photoshoper."

atau

"GUE MARAH ADA YANG BILANG GUE PHOTOSHOPER.
GUE ITU FOTOGRAFER."

atau juga ada yang nulis gini,

I'M A PHOTOGRAPHER NOT A FUCKING PHOTOSHOPER.

Respon gue pertama kali ngebaca yang kayak gitu ya, kira-kira begini:

So? atau Ya... Terus? Emangnya kenapa?

Gue juga suka fotografi. Dan gue gak ngaku-ngaku gue itu fotografer murni bla bla bla. Gue juga masih awam dalam dunia fotografi, apalagi memahami teori, tingkat dewa, bla bla bla istilah expert lainnya.

Tapi, come on, get real. Is it really matter?

Emang lo langsung ngerasa hina kalo lo dibilang seorang fotografer tapi banyak ngedit di photoshop?

Entahlah kalo itu di pandangan orang lain, tapi kalo gue di bilang seperti itu, gue bakal menyikapi dengan tenang (bukannya sok tenang ya!),

Gue (Eugenia Clara Fendri) bakal bilang, : Yah, terserah anda. Ini bukan masalah skill, ini masalah kebutuhan. Ini masalah ALIRAN fotografi yang saya pilih. Kalo emang anda memiliki idealis fotografi murni, ya silahkan. Gak usah mendoktrin/menjatuhkan aliran lain."

Coba gue analogikan,

Misalnya lo orang yang kurus, dikritik 'wah lo gemukan ya?' dan respon lo begini: "Duh, gue dibilang gemuk. Gue gak suka orang gemuk!"

itu sama aja dengan :

a) Lebay,

b) Secara langsung, lo menyinggung orang yang gemuk (seperti saya, contohnya).

See? Kasusnya sama seperti:

"Gue fotografer. Bukan photoshoper!"

itu sama aja dengan:

a) Menunjukkan ketidakdewasaan menyikapi kritik yang ditujukan kepada anda

b) Secara sangat frontal menyinggung perasaan 'photoshoper' yang notabene bisa jadi seorang manipulator, tone-editor, atau orang awam yang baru belajar fotografi+photoshop.

Emangnya patokan hebat/tidaknya Fotografi Indonesia itu dinilai dari: 'Makin sedikit pake photoshop, makin hebat lo motret!", misalnya untuk manual DOF, blur, bokeh, focus, tegasin warna, kontras, saturasi, dll lainnya. Iya? Apa itu udah jadi kontrak tak tertulis sebagai syarat jadi fotografer? Kalo iya, kasih tau gue lah, gue gak tau ada peraturan aneh kayak gitu soalnya.

Yang gue tau, kalo emang berskill, ga bakal mempermasalahkan software apa yang lo pake untuk retouch, manipulate, editing, dan sebagainya, kamera apa yang lo pake (contoh nyata: WAH, AGAMA LO BEDA AMA GUE. GA SE-ALIRAN!), atau lensa yang lo pake, atau Digital/Analog teknik yang lo gunakan.

Yang gue tau, ini cuma masalah Style/gaya/aliran.

Kalo lo suka fotografi murni, yaudahlah gak usah menjatuhkan orang yang suka fotografi + photoshop.

(Sekali lagi gue ingetin: Ini berdasarkan pengalaman beberapa fotografer yang gue lihat/temui dll)

Fotografi itu bukan hanya Fotografi murni, kan? Ada yang memilih atau mengkhususkan untuk menjadi Photo-Manipulation, which is menggunakan photoshop untuk menghasilkan artwork.

Sekali lagi (dan ga bosen gue ulang) : Ini bukan masalah skill, ini cuma masalah style/gaya/aliran fotografi yang dipilih.

Jadi, tujuan gue nulis segini panjang cuma ingin mengungkapkan keheranan gue sama emm- penyuka fotografi dan fotografer yang terlalu mengkotak-kotakkan setiap segi dan perbedaan yang ada.

Tujuan motret apa? Untuk seni? Atau sekedar dokumentasi?

Yaudah lakukan aja sesuai tujuan utama, gak perlu mencela/menjatuhkan segala. Misalnya kalo beberapa kali motret ada yang janggal hasilnya, yaudah give an excuse untuk memperbaiki/mengedit foto tersebut. Mengkoreksi kesalahan lebih baik kan daripada perfeksionis brutal?

At the end, gue mau ngutip sebuah pesan yang ngena banget, (gue lupa gue pernah denger dimana, tapi kira-kira kayak gini bunyinya:)

"Orang yang beneran ber-skill gak bakal mempermasalahkan software atau hardware yang digunakan. Bukan 'LOOK AT MY Camera, Lenses, Laptop, Tablet, bla bla' TETAPI "Lihat apa yang gue hasilkan/ciptakan/potret dengan alat yang gue punya."

Oke sekian terima kasih tulisan gue saat ini,

bagi ada yang tersinggung/merasa tersindir,

ya... gue ga bermaksud menyindir lo kok, gue nyindir beberapa teman gue yang fotografer idealis.

insomnia parah.

yah... Ga insomnia juga sih. Cuma gw kalo jam-jam segini (jam 12 malam - 4 pagi) pasti susah untuk tidur.

Soalnya

1. Ini liburan panjang. Otomatis waktu tidur gue bergeser.

2. Keseringan tidur siang dan gak ngapa-ngapain, jadi biar dini hari gini mata gue tetep seger.

Yah I know, ini bukan kebiasaan baik. Kalo gue lagi dirumah pasti ditanyain/diomelin mama atau papa, "Kenapa kok belum tidur, dek? Tidurlah... Gak baik masih bangun jam segini... bla bla bla..."

Tapi mau gimana lagi, kayaknya udah kodratnya kalo liburan panjang - jam tidur bergeser. Misalnya, biasanya jam 11 malam gue udah molor, skrg jam 11 malam mata gue masih seger-segernya. Dan kadang ide design malah muncul jam-jam dini hari gini. Lumayanlah, gue yang jarang mendengar suara malam (halah) jadi bisa ngerasain gimana stay up late.

Toh gue liburnya masih sampai awal september ini... Yes.

Hari ini, jam 1.30 PM, gue ketiduran sampai jam 5.57 PM

Dan mimpi gue sumpah aneh banget.

INCEPTION.

haha.

Sumpah ya perasaan gue galau banget (dimimpi itu) sampai gue dibunuh 3 kali. Gue ketemu orang-orang dimasa lalu (halah.. Masa-masa SMP dan SMA sebenarnya) yang gue ajak ribut. Jadi kira-kira gue udah masuk ke layer/lapisan yang ke-empat.

Nah waktu gue udah layer min-satu (dekat dengan dunia nyata), gue ngerasa gue bangun di kamar gue sendiri di rumah. Tapi gue denger ada suara ngorok disamping gue. Gue kaget, "Loh kan gue masih di kost, belum pulang. Gue kan dikamar ini cuma sendiri? Suara siapa itu? Hah? Bayangan apa tadi yang lewat? Inception! Wake up, wake up!" --> gue ngomong dalam hati ye.

Pokoknya ga tau gimana akhirnya gue kebangun, dan pas banget sama old review Inception di tv.

Apa gara-gara gue ketiduran dan tv masih hidup ya?

Efek-efek inception gede juga ya. Hahaha.

sincerely,

IPK

2010-07-29T09:25:00.000+07:00

IP gue turun.

Semester 1 : 3.89

Semester 2 (sekarang): 3.30

Ada gap 0.59. AAAAAASHITTIES!

tapi Alhamdulillah ya Allah, things can go worse.

I gotta admit, semester 2 gue males dan sering ngerjain design sehingga sks-sks kuliah gue agak terabaikan. Dan gue merasakan dampak itu sekarang. Sorry mom and dad, but I promise I'll be better.

Dan gue ada perasaan 'gimana gitu' disaat temen-temen gue nge-tweet, "Alhamdulillah Ya Allah IP naik.. Ga perlu IP tinggi yang penting naik..." Hmm....

I wish I can be that way.

Well. No need to take it for granted, All I can do is ... try to be better. That's all...

Semoga di semester berikutnya gue bisa fokus, fokus, fokus, bisa me-manage waktu dan fokus,

dan satu lagi: Gue ga mau ambil sks banyak-banyak. Hehe.

Waktu itu gue lagi dikantin kampus sama temen-temen gue.

Trus ada deh segerombolan cewe yang lewat dideket kita, dan dia ngomong gini,

"Mbak, nasi crazy nya dong satu. Ga pedes yah."

Dan gue, dengan susah payah nahan ketawa.

MBUAHAHAHA. Nasi gila kali mbak...

Pengalaman Pribadi:

Waktu itu, I was on my way back home. Karena jarak dari 'tempat itu' ke kost gue lumayan deket, gue pilih untuk naik taxi. Trus kan gue ngantri taxi di booth taxi B (taxi paling terkenal, sepertinya.)

Gue: "Mas, tolong taxi ya. Kearah Grogol..." -->Wajah gue ramah.

Mas Tukang Cari Taxi berseragam: "Ah, nggak. Udah nggak ada. Cari tuh diluar, didepan!" Katanya dengan jutek dan lagaknya yang sok penting. Ajib... Gue kan minta 'tolong' dan itu emang tugas dia. Gue diem. Pengen nyolot tapi ... yaudahlah ya. Sabar.

Gue duduk bentar aja deh, kali ada taxi warna kuning atau putih yang lewat.

Nah trus tiba-tiba ada bule backpacker nyerobot, ngomong sama mas-mas tukang cari taxi tadi - minta panggilin taxi. Dan TRUS SI TUKANG CARI TAXI GOBLOK itu langsung nunduk dan hormat sambil ngomong, "Oke sir, mister. Wait a minute."

FKKK THE WHAT!

Rasanya pengen nyamperin trus ngomel "Eh mas, sampean itu orang apa sih? Ini nih, gue orang Indonesia asli GA LO TOLONG!! LO BILANG TAXI-NYA GA ADA LAGI. KENAPA WAKTU BULE ITU NANYA MALAH LO KASIH? HAH?! EMANG LO DIKASIH APAAN SAMA TUH BULE? EMANG DIA BOS LO? HAH?! EMANG DIA BAYAR LEBIH? (ehm, iya sih kayaknya ya?)"

Tapi ga jadi gue ngomognya. Soalnya gue lagi males berdebat.

Gue langsung berdiri sambil ngomong, "Tai!" trus akhirnya gue jalan kedepan, cari taxi warna kuning/putih yang jauh lebih ramah.

Home?

2010-07-29T08:12:00.000+07:00

"...Homesick"

As you all might know, I was moved on from my beloved hometown to city in order to continue my study. Separated thousand miles away from home wasn't so easy. I was once so sad and sob, but as the time moves, I learned to stand alone.

It's almost perfect a year I didn't go home. Sumpah gue kangen banget sama kamar gue dulu. Well, no need to say more. I'll be home soon.

I'll be home soon.

Soon.

So hello you All :)

Freelance!

2010-02-24T23:39:00.000+07:00

hello all!

It's quite long enough I didn't write on my blog.
Well. Sort of 'lazy' things.

Anyway, sekarang aku pengen ngebahas tentang 'Freelance and Not Freelance'.

Freelance.
menurut aku Freelance itu, well, pekerja lepas.(Yeah Yeah Yeah, I ain't good at making points, but i don't ask for your cynical opinion anyway)

The thing why I bring this topic is because...
I'm a freelancer. Freelancer who works on things that related to Graphic Design and Photography, and all the things I can do within.

There are reasons why I choose to be a freelancer
1. I'm a Full Time Student of a private University in Jakarta, so I do things in other Free times.
2. I just don't feel like I can handle the "Full Time Job"-things.

I can explain the reason No. 2 :
First, I'm work with... some kind of exploring-minds-to-find-explosive-great-ideas (Or whatever that is) and unfortunately I'm not that kinda person who has Big Stocks of Ideas. It concludes a lot :
1) I can't force to make Idea quickly... that makes: I can't create in fast-time.
2) I'm so damn moody (especially when it comes to PMS, arrghh, every female's nightmare).... that makes: Worse, the ideas of create may be gone somewhere else.
3) I don't like deadlines. It sounds soooo dead...... in lots of lines... That makes: I absolutely can't bond with the 'fulltime job'-things.

I remember about someone in somewhere offered me to 'join the team of design' thing. I said, "Yes! Of Course! I'll make the designs etc etc and I'll send those in the next couple of days" but in the next hour, my swinging moods changed. I lost my inspiration. And I prolonging the job for about 3 weeks until now. (p.s : I'm so sorry Mr, It is just... I suddenly feel so lazy to do this. Am I kind of 'Hot in the beginning a.k.a Semangat di Awal Doang ? Well. IDK.)

And oh! Sorry to let you down. I just want to share my thought :)
and suddenly I forgot what I want to write down (tought I sketched it in my head, d'oh!)

Arrghh. Sudahlah.
Bye!

A Little Photoshoot!

2009-12-24T02:43:00.002+07:00

hola! It's quite long time I didn't write on my blog. You know, this Campus' Life really made a hit on me, and ... meeting new friends, new circumstances and etc.

So how it's going? :D

Anyway, I finally having a Flickr account and here it is: eugeniaclara's flickr
make sure you check the photostream :)

along December, me and my Friends took several shots, and some of it on my Flickr page.

So so so the end of it,

May you have a wonderful xmas and a happy new year!

p.s : Wish me luck, I'm building my very-own-small-branding thingy! lol.

Play with Flashlights, and 20" Shutter Speed.

2009-10-20T04:04:00.000+07:00

It was a typical night, watching tv, done doing tasks, done chitchat, and got no more to do and still 9 PM.

So I did some experimental Lighting Photographs.

Using my Canon EOS 500D, Standart lens from the kit (I forgot the name :P)

Shutter Speed 20" (I'm not expert enough to use BULB), tripod, and flashlights.

Here some of the results, kind of a mess, but yeah, It's my first try :)

more to come! ( i wish ) .

Stay true, and keep tuning in on me ;)

Adios!

Canon and Nikon

2009-10-16T01:26:00.002+07:00

Heyyeya! Sup?

Kinda lazy to write big thing that "matter" enough to post, lol. So I just start this topic, "Do we really need to 'differ' every Camera you use?"

I mean, uhh ohh, what to say on a right Grammar on English, .........

and I can't. So lets say it on Indonesian,

Apa perlu lo mengkotak-kotakkan fotografer berdasarkan kamera yang lo pakai?

It's kind of absurd to differ every photographer by what Camera they use.

I super duper often heard these kind of,

"Oh you're a Nikonian" Or this, "Oh, we're Canonian"

LOL. What the fudge?

A Photographer can't be judged by what camera they use. If you're Indonesian, you must know this quote,

"Wah Lo megang Canon. Beda agama! Soalnya gue Nikon."

or vice versa.

I mean, Hello, what's the point?

It's not that you use Nikon and you're great, or you use Canon and you're great. Sony does good too! And also Leica... And other DSLR / SLR brands.

Come on, guys, just don't give a label after things you have. Or what camera-community you belong to.

And why I bring this topic up?

Because in the same row of time, 5 people asked me about that.

AHA!

I'm using Canon EOS, fyi,

and I never said,

Wah Nikon/Sony/etc/etc, ga sealiran!

to anyone else. Tape that!

Just a little wrote, no hurt feeling please :)

HBD TO ME!

September 6th, 12.03 AM.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

YAY I’m 18 already. I finally legal to make paypal account, follow some design competition (usually they all allow participant over 18+) and etc etc.

But this is not the happiest birthday I ever have so far.

This is the first time I celebrated my birthday alone, at my room on the home stay. I already left my hometown on August, 20^th 2009 to Jakarta, where’s my university lies. Now I’m Far away from my family :(, my best friends, and my hometown. I miss all that. Without them, my birthday just feel like another day. AWWW I got this homesick very much. I’m missing celebrate my birthday around my mom and dad and my brother. I miss the dinner on the birthday bash with my family. I miss the hug and kisses from my mom and dad, all the good wishes and the cheers around the way.

This is the latest shots of me and my mom, dad and brother. It was on Bandung, taking with my Mac on August 25th.

I MISS MY FAMILY!

But I do thanks God, I’m still okay, happily and healthy so far even if I got this stupid cough and just lying in my bed – But thanks J

I’m so thankful because, with all I am now, I never take it for granted. So so so much thank you God, I love you! I hope I could be a better person, and I could make my parent proud of me. Amen.

Well. Just that.

I just miss my old bed on my home. Not on this temporary-could-be-4-years-home-stay.
