Marriage Aisle, the Most Profound Journey

Marriage is a very sophisticated knowledge. The concept of marriage means different things to different people. For me, and generally for most of the girls, marriage is a very important stage that every girl has to pass through and even their dreams. Marriage is for couples who were so full of life, so completely in love and had such an amazing energy in them. Every girl dreams for the ideal, fairytale, wonderful, dreamt wedding ceremony, and the grandest wedding dinner once in the lifetime. Mindy Weiss and Rebecca Stone are the two famous wedding planners that inspired me a lot in my creativity through their design of each wedding and their combination of colors of every different themes of the wedding. They always create a lot of unique and wonderful theme wedding decoration. They are also the wedding planner that I admire the most.

Rebecca Stone turns wedding planning into a fun, creative process that is a celebration in its own right. Combining her passion for food, wine, flowers and fashion with her brilliant ability to help you define your dreams, she gracefully guides you through all the steps of making your wedding celebration a beautiful expression of your unique relationship. These are some of her wedding decoration that I love the most:

I absolutely love this idea for wedding by Rebecca Stone of Duet Weddings. This idea is a great idea for outdoor wedding with plenty of spaces and it feel connected to nature, is a wild garden setting wedding. Just with all, simply spray paint the frames all one color and use ribbon rather then string for a more formal, dressed up look. If would be a great way to decorate an empty wall.

Delightfully warm, funny and engaging, and at the same time, ultra organized and exquisitely focused, Mindy Weiss, a genius at turning wishes into spectacular events. Mindy Weiss is a wedding planner extraordinaire, and she is an author of one of the best wedding planning books ever. She was also involved in the field to be an artist with a brilliant line of fun and fashionable products. Some of her wedding event design that I love it so much:

Chivalric chairs, a bed of white petals, and dendrobium orchids hanging from the tree that designed by Mindy Weiss. It will be the most romantic moment where the groom proposed. It is an outdoor ceremony and it amazing.

Purple and white theme wedding that really catches my eyes .It is a very elegant wedding theme.

The walk down the aisle symbolizes one of the most profound journeys we take in life. It is the culmination of all of life's experience into one moment as you take a step slowly from one life into another. In that moment when all eyes are on you, when everyone is thinking how beautiful you look, when the photographer is snapping away, you are the most blissful bride in the world. The aisle is the most important things in the wedding. The aisle is the place girls dreamt to pass through. The catchy color of the decoration, the unique of the theme, all inspire me to be a very creative people, either in doing my homework or even part of my daily life. It teaches me that some things don’t last forever or they’ll only come by once in your lifetime. Therefore, we have to make the best out of everything and put out our best foot forward in order to have a creative work. As like Rebecca Stone and Mindy Weiss making dreams come true, it tells me that if I can dream it, I will be able to do it.

Singing, the PARADISE of mine

Hmm… Singing, one of my favorite things I would like to do all day long. Singing is such an important part of my life. I was the shy little girl in my primary choir class that scared to sing aloud because everyone around me sounded so well, that make me not daring to sing out and I wanted a voice like that. However, I like to sing in my room because nobody will hear it. Until, I entered secondary school and started go for KTV with my close friend and I sang, they praised me. On that day, I just realize that I have a good voice. Since then I started to sing everywhere, every time whenever I want to sing.

Singing has been a part of my life since I was born. My father likes to take part in any singing competition and I am the little girl that loves to listen to his strong voice when he is practicing. I always remember the unique melody and the greatest voice that always channels in my mind since I was small. Singing is also an art that can inspire me in much kind of creative things in my family and my daily life.

Singing also related with music. For me, “no music, no life”. I always like to achieve greater freedom with my voice and help myself and friends that also like to sing to become a more empowered human being with my singing. Sometimes I use singing to release stress and sadness. For me only singing can really release stress no matter with a great voice or a normal voice. I find singing amazing because sometimes when you come across a song, it really touches you, and you wish to sing it out. Sometimes you just want to sing from the top of your lungs or just in a whisper and it just feels that like you are releasing your emotions out there somewhere and it would make you feel good and relieved. This is because sometimes word just cannot describe how you really feel, but screaming aloud in a melodic way would really make it amazing.

My first song that I perform in front of public is ‘How do I live’ by Leann Rimes. Everybody like to ask me that, imagine you have a greater voice than you have today, what would you do with it? Actually, I did not really consider about this question. Because, everybody got his or her own unique voice and this voice is a gift from the nature. However, for now, if I really have to answer it, I would answer that if I really have a greater voice, I would like to perform to the whole world to share the great voice that is given to me.

Island of Colours

Burano Island, a place full of happiness and a colorful fairy tale world that I wish to have my long holidays there one day. Burano located in Venice. The island has known for its colorful houses, where residents can follow their favorite color to paint their own house, so this island also called as “multicolor island”. I love this place so much; it seems to be in paradise. Children dart freely with their bicycles, balconies with multicolored flowers, fishermen who put up fresh fish from their traditional boats.

The typical Burano’s houses are mainly squared-shaped and divided into two or three floors. The matching colors of the house are so unique and prefect, I like it so much. How these brightly coloured buildings inspired me? The colours that paints every block uniquely on the favor of their owners tells me that everybody has their own colour as in their own talent or natural beauty. It inspires me that it’s ok for everyone to be individually different.

Burano is also a lace making paradise, lace that so popular among the clothing fashion now. They also use lace to do the mask for the Venice mask carnival. Their lace is mostly white in color. Lace can use for many purposes, such as handcraft, wedding gown, tablecloth, umbrella and even clothing for today. Lace also one of the art materials, I, as an art lover, lace and color also help me a lot in my artwork. All the laces nicely decorated tell me that a presentable look attracts and catches the eyes of the audience. Such presentable looks brings out outer confidence and elegance in oneself as they dress up to impress.

Aurora Borealis- The Unpredictable Moment

One of the things that I must experience in my entire life is to see the most amazing and the most glorious scene-The northern light in Norway; it also called as the Aurora Borealis. I saw a magazine that displayed an article about the Aurora Borealis today that inspired me while I’m waiting for the other lecturer to start. These lights inspires me to be unique with my creativity in order to catch the attention of others like the secretive aurora that has captivated so many people's eyes. Like the aurora, unique creativity stands our amongst others like the aurora brightens the skies with her lights.  These northern lights are like a greenish white ribbon stretching across the sky and normally with waves in them. Those greenish white ribbons tend to be near with the northern. They contain many parallel rays, running across their width if you see closely with it.

There are two things about those rays. One, the bright ones fade while dim ones brighten instead-a bit like flames in a fireplace. Some auroras are deep red, and these may be just a shapeless glow. Second, the direction of those rays is related to the magnetism of the Earth.

I will never ever miss this mystical moment. The best place to see the glorious aurora borealis is at the northern Norway. The lights are at their most frequent in late autumn and winter or in the early spring. The best time or chance to be spotting the light is on the 21^st September -21^st March.

The northern light is just like the secretive woman. We will never get to predict when she decides to turn up to show her beautiful and unique appearance. She hates to appear in the full moon. Therefore, we have to avoid the full moon. If we are lucky, we have the chance to see her several times in one day. This secretive woman likes to turn up in the driest weather and in the clear skies.

There are some legends about this Aurora Borealis. Aurora is goddess of the dawn in the Roman mythology. Aurora is the sister of the sun goddess and moon goddess. Aurora is very sad about the loss of her lover and her son. Her tears turn into dew. If you see the morning dew on the petals, is the validation of her grief. Her happiness always brings the luminous green ribbons that we see as the northern light. For the ancient legends of the Eskimos, Aurora is the torch that prepared by Schering to illuminate the road to paradise.

Some people said that, people that saw the Aurora would be happy and blissful forever. And I, am going to  find my own Aurora someday.

Under the Sole Lies a Beauty

The ancient said:”Everyone should have a pair of good shoes, because this pair of shoes will bring you to the most glorious place”.

I love to collect shoes, until now I have already collected almost 35 pairs of shoes. Shoes are one of the important daily usages. Shoes meant a lot to me, different types and colours of shoes inspires me colour and design matching in my daily life. It's amizing how such small pair of shoes that is situated on your sole can play such a big role that changes a person from self-esteem all the way to how it affects the dressing of women. Today, shoes are also a symbol of fashion. Have you ever wondered what type of pattern and style the first pair of shoes look is like? The first pair of shoes was anything grabbed on hand (flat bark, large leaves, and perhaps bundles of weeds), with rattan or tough long bale in the foot. In the olden days, “shoes" may not be very beautiful, but very practical. "Sandals" is one of the oldest artificial productions of footwear.

In ancient Greece, a shoe symbolizes the difference between slavery and freedom. Greek philosopher Plutarch wrote, "Barefoot", is a sign of abject slaves. Historically speaking, the shoes reflect the wealth; used to determine a person's social status, and even religion.“High Heels” that girls are crazy for in this 21^st century already created in the 16^th century. At first, the heel produced in a very practical need in order to avoid the skirts from wet rain, mud and snow. Now is just for the purpose of fashionable. For me, every shoe had it unique purpose, unique style and even wonderful color that can lighten up our life.

I’m very particular in what types of shoes I’m wearing like what is the shoes outfit. A person’s shoe can tell you all you need to know —example: how a person takes care of his shoe’s cleanliness says a lot about him or her.  If the shoes are clean and bright enough, then it is quite evident that the person is well mannered and takes immense care of himself or her self and the place he or she lives in. In my opinion, if you are a woman trying to judge a man by his shoes, you can rest assured that a man with clean shoes will take care of you as well. Shoes can also show a person characteristic; people who prefer to wear sandals are generally free birds who would like to be out of bound. This person love to travel outdoor. Besides that, in my opinion, shoes like relationships. We need to find the right fit shoes for ourselves’ and is comfortable. When it comes to relationships, the wrong fit of shoes will hurt more than ‘just a little.’”
