Nowadays, it’s all these giant sunglasses… and tattoos. It’s handbags with little dogs in them. I mean, who okayed this?
-(500) Days of Summer

**

Well Tom, to me, giant sunglasses, tattoos, and handbags with rich little dogs in them are still bearable to accept. But there is one fashion trend that I thought would never come back.. at least not this soon, not before the whole generation become fully mature enough to cope with the trauma it again.

The thing with one shoulders is, once you wear them, people will remember forever. It’s unlikely to mix and match them into various looks, therefore it is one of the least everlasting fashions. So even if style stays as fashion goes, once the trend is over, the history of your asymmetrical dress(es) begins.

After being a big hit in the early 2000’s, they’re back in less than 10 years. But as for me, the idea of wearing asymmetrical clothing remains in those innocent, sweet, naive highschool days :p

PS: Zooey’s style in the movie.. now that’s something everybody would agree to “okay”. *wink

So really, your age is no justification for your crappy attitude and endless complaints.

SMILE!

I envy the butterflies, flitting guiltlessly, from one pretty flower to another.

I envy the raindrops, falling freely, without the slightest fear of the powerful gravity.

I envy the happy old lady, selling crops and seeds with a smile, certain that God won’t leave her even just for a while.

I envy the children running along, laughing as loud as they might, telling stories with nothing to imply.

I envy the moonlight, the sunlight, how generous they are to share rays of life, without any grudge holding them from giving their all.

And I envy the hearts, who still trust even though they’ve been crushed.
The forgiving smiles even though betrayals have damaged them much.
The hopes in their eyes, as if nothing can shatter their beliefs, as if nothing is ever worth their over grief.

I don’t envy kisses and cuddles, only portrayed to hide the emptiness inside.
Or owning acquaintances who exist and persist in the hopes that people realize and want to be part of the disguise.
I don’t envy companions, prides, degrees, statuses, accomplishments that are nothing but shiny, polished misery.
Exhibited only to conceal what soul really lies underneath.

For this year, for this new year… I wish to achieve the essence of what I envy still, and be avoided from things that I never will.

So here we are taking our bow, hopefully with knowledge in our head and wisdom in our eye,
Welcoming the beginning of you, and gladly waving 2009 goodbye.

 

“People can steal your ideas.

But they can never steal your style.”

I guess I was eating my own words when being stuck in this super uninspired mental condition the other day.

Carrie Bradshaw’s styles I found were kinda too out of this world for this occasion, and just when I was about to give up…

along came Stella.

Oh wow.

It was for the purpose of our homework, I didn’t steal her ideas then actually SELL them =)

So thank you Stella for the inspiration!

PS: Her designs are animal and eco friendly and she is strictly against animal cruelty in the fashion industry. Now that’s an idea worth “stealing”, no?

A familiar scent from the past
As my possession of time is taken over by another
A smell that hurts my senses
Make it quit, and do it quick

When losing 60 minutes feels like losing 60 thousand pounds
And losing money, is never something funny

You stop every 5 minutes, for another darn hour
I should have chosen the one before you, considering your lazy behaviour
And now I demand you bring me back my time
Stop hitting the brake and start driving like a man!

I try to reach the sky
Along with the choices passing me by
By not deciding only one
Does it mean we’ll be achieving but none?

Is it commitment when we commit to many?
Or is it wrong and simply greedy?

Confusion within contemplation
Too tired even just to reason
You stand there right in between
Accomplishing what seems to be unseen

I try to reach the sky
The choices keep passing me by
Hold on tight to all these branches
Taking the plenty, the golden chances

1. Empire of The Sun – Walking on a Dream

THE soundtrack of my life at this moment.. *wink*

“Walking on a dream, how can I explain.. Never looking down I’m just in awe of what’s in front of me.. Catch me Im falling down.”

2. Lily Allen – Fuck You

She’s criticizing George Bush in this adorable song.. The video is just too cute!

“Fuck you very, very much. Cause we hate what you do and we hate your whole crew so please don’t stay in touch.”

3. MGMT – Kids

“Old stuff” from earlier this year. Still gets me going though

“Decisions to decisions are made and not fought, but I thought, this wouldn’t hurt a lot. I guess not.”

4. Gym Class Heroes – Cookie Jar

Years passed by, but this song never bores me. “Cheesy” lyrics with bold memories =)

“Want you to be the one and my only, I want to be faithful but I can’t keep my hands out the cookie jar.”

5. TLC – I’m Good at Being Bad

TEN years and still one of the most awesome, original and strong RnB song. I miss them =(

“A good man is so hard to find… Well, actually, a hard man is so good to find.. YEA BABY!”

X: As you know, I don’t look back. *shrugs snobbishly*
Y: So that’s why you never learn your lesson… *nods understandingly*

When I was first told that the word “kuchi” means “mouth” in Japanese, I thought to myself, “What a nice coincidence!”

Wanting to use a simple, catchy, yet meaningless name for my blog, it turned out that it has some sense of “philosophy” after all (err.. explaining what a “big mouthed” blog this is?)..

But when I decided to actually search for the definition of the word “kuchi”, how shocked was I to find this:

And the most shocking part is, even the second definition still goes with the blog content -_-

So when you ask: “What’s in a name?”
The answer is… “PLENTY, Shakespeare dear.”

-> Clearly he’s not a biologist since in Biology we believe in “nama membawa makna” (“there’s always a meaning behind a name”).

Well I should have known…

PS: There is actually another definition, but it was too inappropriate even for this blog. Go see for yourself.
