By the Sea

"we cant choose our family. that's why God gave us best friends" - I read this quote from someone's twitter and I can totally relate to this. There's nothing quite like being with the people I love which includes my besties, my boyfriend, and several family members. I don't agree with those who say that we should always stay with our family because they'll never go away or whatever because they have the same blood. I dont think this is always true. I've heard stories where the father has sex with his daughter.. or some even sell their babies for money ?!? how inhumane are those people ? I think that the best people in the world are the people who love you for what you are.. they love you for YOU ! We have like 6 billion ++ homo species on this Earth, there's gotta be someone who appreciates you even if you think you're the weirdest kid on the block. Sooo go ahead and start searching for the people who you like ! :D
This is also one of the reasons why i love blogging.. it's like like a little community of fashion-lovers where I can make new friends with the same interest. this post is dedicated to two of my best blogger buddies : talisha and stella. I cant imagine where I'm gonna get all those laughs without you two :)

little shout out to michelle, fhenny, and diana whom I wished you guys could've joined us in the little dinner by the sea :D

wearing mitchybelle top, gifted floral shorts, ebay-ed long skinny belt, charles david wedges. and my trusty Zara camera bag..









artificial photoshop makeup.. this is why i totally love photoshop !




shot this one with a tripod.. and suddenly pesky securities came by and told us no photos allowed (when we all have been posing for around 30mins).. in the end, talisha's driver found out from the security guys that we weren't allowed to take photos because of the TRIPOD. damnit.. a tripod doesnt do any damage to the floor or anything for goodness sake. security guys in indo seriously need more training and they should shrug off their "im an important and smart guy" attitude.. because the truth is they are dodos and they dont have any COMMON SENSE.


i really love this last photo of stella and talisha.

Nice shoots! ;)

ediot September 29, 2010 12:33 AM  

what a great full post.
i enjoying reading what you have to say.
i miss my parents so much though- and when I'm at home they're always my top one priority instead of hanging out with friends I had growing up.
I have a lot of friends where I live now that i value very high- almost like family.
These photos of you guys are fantastic- so much joy.
And the shots themselves are great

Aki No Yuutsu September 29, 2010 12:35 AM  

couldn't agree more (about the family thingin').
I kinda like what you did, with the artificial makeup.
Cute shorts, by the way!

Isabel September 29, 2010 12:35 AM  

i love the floral shorts :)

collagevintage September 29, 2010 12:45 AM  

You're gorgeous lady!!! this pics are great... In Spain weather is more cold now... and actually i need come back summer again (of course i'm impatient for wear some new fall clothes :P).

Love your photoshop make up, you're so creative with this program... hahaha!

Big kiss sweetie

PD: I hate too when blogger don't save messages... :P

Sanny September 29, 2010 12:47 AM  

Awesome shoots, as always! You girls are so pretty, fashionable and talented! (: I totally adore your floral shorts!

And I couldn't be more agree regarding the term 'family'. I actually think that any individual that we let to be in our life or part of our life should be considered as family. Of course, it has to be worth it.

Have an amazing one, darl (:

You look great here. Love the top.

Laura Tenshi September 29, 2010 3:36 AM  

I agree, we should be able to choose whomever we want in our lives, not just settle with those who are nearby. Great floral print shorts and your pictures by the sea are amazing.

these are very lovely pictures! Though I have to say that I think family is worth more than anything. true, there are the twisted trashy families, but friends get jealous, backstab, sleep with your exes but your siblings will always be there and you can always count on your parents when you need support :)

Anna Leo October 1, 2010 1:07 AM
