Berlin's prologue

It's been a week! I can't say that I'm not counting, but yeah, here we are, the first introduction week.
Berlin is a beautiful city with efficient transportation ( which I love it very much). I'm livid with Yvonne in my cousin's house. They got cute little guy named trevis!!! Super duper cute. It's very disappointing that due to my computer's-don't-know-what happen, I can't post any photos this time. But I'll definitely post it ASAP!
I've spent Christmas here without snow but I've been welcome with snow the first day I arrived! It's super duper shocking. It's funny to think that my first impression of snow is that it's wet.
Soon my first new year here will arrive. And also, my first new year away from my dearest family :( how sad is that?!!!
But I truly, have to, believe it'll all worth it when the time comes. So now, I'll be patient and will try my best to enjoy my life here.
Everyday we have classes. Don't misunderstand! They're cooking class, washing, etc. I've learnt a little to cook things not too complicated. At least they tasted good. :))
My cousin and her husband are really nice to me. The other cousins too..
I'll post the food here asap! But now, let me enjoy my late night coffee and try to finish my drawing first!!!
I miss my fam at medan... T.T but for them, I'll be strong!!!
Love,
Vanessa

The last 62 h 10 m ...s

Okay, no freaking out. no turning back. i know you can do this. And why can i know? Because i am YOU.
These last few days have been hectic. Times flow too fast that i can't even take a breath. Well, i know that sounds exaggerating but that's how i feel.
I think i have not enough time to be here but, on the other hand, i have not much time to waste either.
I don't even know why. People are saying how happy i must have felt but i cried until i'm too tired and sleep on my tears. Is that very happy? I have to admit. I do feel happy when i think about the snow, different country, different people that i'll encounter. But when i think about the departure, the distance, i feel sad, empty. There are times i feel confuse, that i don't want to continue this journey, but when i think about my future, and the knowledge i about to get, i feel that i can't miss this chance. That every sacrifice that i made will someday give results and our family will at last be reunited. And when that happen, i'll finally can make my family proud.
That feeling will be priceless. I won't fail. I can't afford to any failure. i must make my dreams come true, no matter what happen,
These are the recent pictures of me and my fam and friends.

i was trying to do 'i love you' with the pictures, did those work??

Felicia, our maknae, were having birthday and we got little surprise for her.

December's Rain.

Shira and her Yakuza style! haha..

Just like a family pictures, don't you think?

These are my artworks, although the source of the pictures are taken from the game magazine, zigma. i hope they like them cause i spend sometime doing those.

And then we all lived happily ever after. I hope that will always be an end to everybody's chapter.

Loves,

Vanessa Mitro

A little depressed, that's all

I don't know what's gotten into me all of a sudden.
I feel like being thrown in a place of nowhere.
I know no reason why i'm feeling like this, or do i?
I have this girl friend of mine, we're quite close.
But now that we've graduated from our school, things become different.
Not that i didn't predict that any of this would happen.
But, when it do happen, i felt strange.
She replied my text with a carefree answer, it's as if she's trying to tell me any of that is not a matter for her at all.
We became distant and i don't know what to say to her.
Am i the one being too sensitive?
I don't know, my head's spinning and i feel confuse.
But i came with one resolution, that i won't let any of that happen between me and my other best friends that i have, and i wanted to be a best friend that my best friends could count on to, no matter what,. And after all, best friends stick to you no matter how far the distant is, isn't it?
And also the best friend that will stick to me, in good time and bad time, i don't think any words could express my gratitude, but i guess i can start with a " thank you"?
Isn't it, Yvonne Lorensa? I'm counting on youu!

i took this from google picture search, so this is not my  artwork, the owner can take credits on it! hehe..

I'm freaking out.

Honestly speaking, i am afraid. I'll be leaving in a month and i won't be back for quite some time. Things won't be the same and i won't have my family right beside me. I'll need to organize my life myself and everything must be done alone. I'll go to place where the people are not speaking English and are speaking Germany, which, as the matter of fact not (yet) my specialty. 

But yet, something do make me relieved. I'm not going there alone, i'm with friends that are already known me, understand me and i, myself too, am comfortable and believe them, as they believe in me. We need to believe in each other and make this work out. We'll be living together there, aren't that supposed to mean we'll be family there? I'm looking forward for it!

Ah, by the way, i am going to Germany in a month, and i will go with 4 of my friends. 1 is my cousin, another 2 are my friends since kindergarten and the other 1 is my high school friend. We won't be taking the same course for university there but we'll live together in an apartment.

Life maybe not easy for us, teenagers, who are still struggling to be adult. But, if we, five, fight together. I think this will not be as hard as it is. We'll help each other and adapt quickly!

Oh, and i wanted to show you guys my father's artwork! Sorry for the low quality pictures, i took these with my Ipod. So please be considerate! ~^^~

These are delicious!!

idols of my week: SONG JOONG KI

After another long absence, here i am again.

I've put another pictures for my TITLE, i hope you guys like it.

I googled all the pictures, so just take credits for all of it.

I photoshoped the pictures, just adding it one by one. To the places i see fit.

First of all, I'm in love with SONG JOONG KI!! Sorry for all his fans, to be so late at noticing him..

Hiks. Hiks.

But better late than never at all. Haha,

for somebody who don't know song joong ki, please just google his name.

He's a korean mc, model, and actor.

Here is his photos (which i've taken from a tumblr website fuckyeahsongjoongki.tumblr.com/)

This is the picture taken a week ago, i guess. He is cute, isn't he?

I love this picture the most. I don't know why, some may see this picture as a normal picture.
but i like it!

I love those shoes!!! especially the 'love you'.
His expression here also!! aww!!

 And then, for everybody who haven't watch, i truly recommend RUNNING MAN!! It's korean variety show but don't worry there are english subs too.

Recently, a friend from my father came to medan, just went back to australia just now..

She's a great cook. We ate a lot (oh gosh, i hope i don't weigh too much!)

We went to lake Toba, a beautiful lake, you can travel there by car approximately in 4 hours from medan.

I took some pictures too. But let me tell and show you guys that tomorrow. As for now, let me sleep first.

I'm sleepy already. Haha. so, i see you tomorrow?

Sorry for the Absent

Dear readers,

i wish you haven't forgotten my name since my absence. VANESSA

So, i'll repay you my readers in this special post, which will take a page-or two, i guess.

First of all, the most juicy information this week from my life is that my father has returned.

For those who don't know why he ever left in the first place, let me tell you, he's away for something like two years and nearly a half to take his diploma in cookery.

I'm neither joking nor lying. Okay, He gets his diploma in his 40s, so what? 

It's not like he's having his first kid in 40s. And even if that happens, people can do what they like, don't they?

Anyway, secondly, i had my hair cut. 

Super short, and super looking dumb, but no worries, it helps me look younger, way too younger.

Everybody tells me i have a kindergarten hair cut style.

It's not what i wanted, just ask the hairdresser how my hair can become like this.

I don't have the answer nor can i claim my hair back, so just live it in.

I don't think it's that bad, it just makes me look bigger in my face, okay, SOS right now.

But what can i have in panicking, i just need a solution. And the solution i thought of is quite silly, just keep washing my hair.. some people say it'll help your hair grow faster.

I need faster, like fast and furious' cars speed faster.

You guys wanna see how bad is it? Don't worry i'll post my pictures.

Thirdly, is the future plan that keeps on changing.

Where in heaven will i take my bachelor? Don't ask me cause i'm - opps, not me, my parents- baffling right now.

SO, yeah, here i am writing this in English but happen to be doing my deutsch homework in the other hand.

Great isn't it?
Fourth, CINDY NGASERIN has left for Canada, will totally miss her. She's my other best-best friend. I hope for her success in her university and her mission to get a hot boyfriend there. HAHA

This is several pictures that i have had, i hope you guys can imagine my life yourselves, with pictures and words.

See you soon,

ME

me and my best-best friend, we have our hair cut at the same place, hers looks alright. 

How come mine looks funny? A cousin of mine says i looks like "miiko", if you don't know her, she's a character from japanese manga, just google her. Miiko, author ono eriko (has peacefully died in japan tsunami, as what i heard from the news, TT.TT she's one of the best mangaka, for me.)

Here's the funny haircut. Have to look a little bit cool, okay, nobody flatter themselves, but i do, okay?

So just be nice to me and tell me i look cool, cause the hair is quite funny already. 

my dearest Dad and Mom, it's yesterday. We're celebrating my father's graduation with my family.

I woke up TOO early this morning,

after a night of struggling with HTML template,

at last i can make it out that way.

Thanks to cynna lemoncito

who post this template for free at Blogskins 

I'm looking forward to write today!

Fyi,

I'm going to watch Fast and Furious 5 today,

too late to be happy, while people out in the world has already watched it?

too bad, i live in Indonesia which just shown this movie..

Blah, no worries, i still enjoy it anyway..

going to have a good time with my friends, it's been a while since we all met.

I wonder if i have to cut my hair?

just to let you know, the picture in my profile is not my newest picture,

i have a LONG hair now..

The First Step

Okay, so here we are.
I'm in the middle of nowhere, starting something new,
a new page, can i call it that?
I feel new, refreshed.
Some people think blog is a place to show up, some think it's a garbage bin to throw everything.
I think it's a sky to shout at, isn't it?
I'll try to post my daily life, but, 
dear Readers,
i hope you'll like my life story but, come to think of it, who wants to listen to a silly girl's boring story?
BUT, i hope to gain friendship here,
and the people who are sick of reading my boring story, i don't blame you, seriously.
But, no offense, don't JUDGE me if you don't know who i am..
I won't JUDGE anybody either,
every word, sentence and paragraph i'll write here is sincere and deep from my heart.


So, hello and goodbye, 
Cheers,
Vanessa.
