Touch of Midas by Hendra Kusuma

Most photographers nowadays fall into a comfort zone where they continue to use the same kind of photography style, BUT these pictures you're about to see are no ordinary beauty shots that you can find almost everywhere.

Get ready to be AMAZED by this young and (SUPER) talented photographer, Hendra Kusuma.


ALL wardrobe was mixed and matched creatively by HK! Is he a GENIUS or what!?
The left dress is my favorite one!

Can you believe it's ME in all these pics? Me neither!! The make-up was UBER COOL!!! Done by Krystel Perfecta!

Pick up your Spirits!

15 quick ways to pick up your spirits:

1. Keep a running list of inspiring quotes and uplifting jokes. Refer to them when you need to.

2. Call a friend and ask her to tell you her favorite joke.

3. Fake a smile for 5 or 10 minutes.

4. Close your eyes for a few minutes.

 
5. Call your mom.

6. Look through old scrapbooks or personal journals.

7. Go outside. A few minutes of fresh air can do wonders for your mood.

8. Go for a very quick jog.

9. Keep a gratitude journal, in which you write down things that you are thankful for. This is a great way to start and end each day. For a quick "pick-me-up," write as many gratitudes as you can in one minute. Don't think; just write.


10. Make something. Use your creative mind, and create something with your own two hands, whether it is a piece of jewelry, a scrapbook page, a pretty floral arrangement or a batch of cookies.

11. What is your biggest goal (or your biggest problem)? Do one thing that will contribute to its completion (or its solution.)

12. Eat something healthy and fresh. You could be feeling blue because your blood sugar has taken a dip. Eat a bowl of fresh fruits or vegetables.

13. Pour a cup of hot cocoa or a cup of coffee and read a favorite magazine for a few minutes.


14. Turn on music. Your favorite tunes can really lift your spirits. Use classical and jazz to calm; rock and roll or hip hop to energize.

15. Mark Twain said, "The best way to cheer yourself up is to try to cheer somebody else up." He's right, and it doesn't have to mean a big time investment. Just do something thoughtful for someone, right now.


If your mood doesn't brighten right away, go with the flow, and accept your mood just the way it is. It is okay to be feel blue every now and then. Let yourself rest, and give yourself time to restore your own happy mood in your own natural time. :)

"It's more important to be kind than to be right." --Wayne Dyer

To choose kindness over ego... well to be honest, I'm still working on it.

QOTD:
"You cannot not love a person once you know their stories."

So, before you judge someone, find out more about the person and the situation first, because you most likely have no idea what is going on and would probably change your view afterward.

How much can you learn from watching a film? For me, it's A LOT.
One of my favorite TV series that has taught me loads of lessons in life (and being a woman) is Desperate Housewives. If you are a fan of the series too, you must be familiar with the narrator's voice, Mary Alice (the one who shot herself at the beginning of the story). I always find her quotes profound and worth to remember, well actually I love many quotes from each character. That Marc Cherry guy sure knows how to entertain and make us learn something at the same time.


Anyway, here is the most recent quote from Mary Alice that I find to be very true:
"The things that bring us pleasure may not be enough to give our lives meaning, without someone to love."


I always thought the saying "Money can't buy us happiness" was completely wrong, but when I heard that quote from DH, I began to imagine what my life would be if I had all the money in the world but I didn't have, well as lame as it sounds, somebody to love. Yes money can make us feel happy, proud and all that, but only for a short period of time, our lives would still be empty without love. The feeling love brings is something you can't describe.
