Deary December

December is the last month in the year.
Some people wish to end the year and start a new one.

Other people wish to stay at the same year, the same routine.

New year has been making me excited all the time.

But here, the exciting is gone. I don't celebrate it anymore.

I wish I could celebrate New Year's Eve, but I just cannot.

In my deepest heart, I am always welcoming the year.

2013, please be nice to all of us :)

 ---

Hiya guys, it's been a while :D

Christmas and New Year are closer now. Gotta prepare for all.

And also Happy Holiday too!

Here i am with Illustration Cafe going to explore the last couple days of the year with enjoying the day. We manage to make some gift cards and also birthday gift. Illustration Cafe has new face, by the way :3

Domo-kun

   

Yaay, Domo-kun! I always addicted to this cute stuffed character :3

Check my page by clicking here, dear~

Okay, now get going to the first card...

Christmas Party

A child order this to me. He wanted to have a special christmas card for the class. When I think about christmas, I always pictured a big christmas tree with presents and socks around it. Also sparkling baubles, ribbons, and stars. Just very beautiful :D

The next are birthday cards, each cards represented different personality and favourite. Some girls love fashion so much. Craving for branded bags, and sunnies. But some girls are enjoying their life with video game and drawing :D

And the last is...

The special christmas card for a far country friend. He is from Germany :D
This is for you Tobias :)

So, i think that's all for now.

Always remember that a cards will bring the lovely atmosphere rather than emails or texts :3

Feel free to contact me if you want to order some. Illustration Cafe is doing greetings card, invitation, name card, and photo shoot. We are packs of illustration talent. We are photographer, graphic designer, and illustrator :D

 Thankies everyone~

I am looking forward for a luxurious photo hunting in January. 

I hope I can join it. Amen..

Summer Solitude

Summer Solitude

"Human a social person, which means human is able to be alive by the help of other human. But sometimes, the thing that we need is a solitary moment. The bubble space we keep blowing to create gap between each other step without hurting each other. "

I am sitting by the harbor bridge, sipping the air of loneliness by the time the sun over my eyes. The sun dress is blown by the breeze yet the loneliness is never go away. People strangles their ego and pride, they are dangling over their neck with a bling bling in glittering mocker. While me, sitting alone at the nearest harbor in my city.

 

People will not understand the way i am thinking. The feeling of overwhelming joy i feel at the time the birds fly, the wave dances, and the breeze sings. They may think I am unique, but yeah, I am who i am.

 

I wander by the wooden bridge above the sea. The soft delicate feelings when the wood touches my barefoot is a sweet moment. Mostly, many women spend their time with the heels on their feet. A pair of glamour shining high heels. They will not know the feeling of being barefoot. The freedom of life. I see every one of them cynical, but the smile cling on my face.

The sun kisses my skin. The wave is waving sweetly at me.

This is how summer should be. Not being bother with the gray gloomy sky.

 

Smile. Smile. Smile sincerely :)

It's victory! Peace to everyone :D

Her very lovely personality and behaviour has taken us to beautiful photographs.

Thank you all :D

Carpentier Kitchen

Good day for everyone :)


Unlike the other Saturday dining with my dearest friend, last night we chose a new cafe named by Carpentier Kitchen. I recommend the place, so we headed to that place instantly.

Here is our lovely destination :

Carpentier Kitchen

ORE Building // Jalan Untung Suropati 83, Surabaya, Indonesia 60264

 @CarpentierKitch 

As we reach that place, I was amazed by the oldish and warm interior of the store, 
and yes, Carpentier Kitchen is inside of Ore Store. Hundreds of lovely apparels were lining on the rack. Such a place with overwhelming high fashion. I cannot resist to see the cute shoes, or even men and women tops.

Ore Store

Keep walking over the sweet outfits hallways, next we will see the beautiful backyard in the 20s. The pastel looking space with a warm vintage feeling, and the smell of good food too! 

Yeah, this is Carpentier Kitchen.

Carpentier Kitchen

We were welcoming by the elegant vintage door knob, I am excited to see those beautiful old time living together again. The lovely backyard with cute furnitures are stunning :)

Such a lovely atmosphere, right? :D

Definitely, Carpentier Kitchen is the most favourite cafe on my list.

After we find a place to sit, we were ordering some dish and beverages. Back to the first I was here, I was ordering chocolate milkshake (which is my all time favourite), and the legendary Ultimate Burger. But last night, we were ordering, chocolate milkshake (always~), banana milkshake, strawberry milkshake, hot chocolate, cheese fries, and fried rice. All of them was great, great price great taste! Never felt disappointed when I visit this lovely backyard :)

cheese fries and fried rice

hot chocolate

Their appearances were just as lovely as they taste :D

The other thing I love about Carpentier Kitchen menu is they decorate the beverages and also dishes beautifully, what a great finishing garnish.

We enjoy everything here. The cozy atmosphere was making us to stay longer and longer. We were talking, playing cards, and etc. After this is a very lovely place :)

And yes, time set to 10 p.m. It's already night so we have to go home. Such an interesting kitchen. This place is a very recommended place for all who loves warm and cozy atmosphere. Bring along you best friend, or even your lover ;)

-Have a nice day-

Tanjung Laut

Hellouw guys~ :3

It's been a busy day for me, college is getting busier and busier. Not only that, much opportunity seems to tap on my shoulder, which means good signs for me :D
Another BONTANG picture for you guys :)
The sweet peaceful town of mine.

This is Tanjung Laut, one of the harbor in Bontang. The busy harbor, boats, fishermen, and people. Such a lovely place to chill out, and find boat for your vacation too :D

Basically, it looks like a simple harbor, but to me it looks so beautiful :)

Boats boats everywhere :D

 

Bontang is a little town that surrounded by water, yes we do have a lot of water around us :D

Friend of mine was asking me whether we have to travel in the town by boat, but for your information, we do have roads .___.

I hope you will not get bored by the beauty of Bontang :)

Fancy - Fancy Invitation

Hello guys,

So the holiday has ended, and the work time is on. 

Just pump up your courage to get to your fullest condition :)

Today, I wanna post my latest work. I did invitation. An invitation for a gathering in my college. They wanna make with a low budget but looks luxurious. So, instantly, i was thinking of folds on white  paper with a touch of red glare ribbon. Then, I add the last touch, it was the badge of my department. So here they are..

Maybe it does not look like what I expected -__-

At least, close. The papers were hard to fold, I should have used the think and slick art paper. 

But oh well, HVS paper is cheap.

The badge looked great, steady and shiny :)

Then, the red ribbon is perfect, but the loops made it pretty hard to stick the badge. Eventually, the glue was bad, it dried in a long time. That's why it made the badge hard to stick at the right place.

I made about 50 invitations in a day (helped by a friend of course ^^ ).

Thank God they were done in the right time :D

I love the whole look, they look nice and cute :)

If you have a favor to contact me for designing invitation or anything ( i design pretty much everything for now ^^) just email me at adrkrist@gmail.com
Thankies!

City By The Sea

City of Clouds

Once upon a time, 

on a blue land over the mother Earth lies a peaceful little city under the clouds.

 A beautiful city where everything is nice and lovely.

The little city is named by 'Bontang' :D

Introducing my little hometown, that lies in East Borneo.

The nature here are beautiful, they are treated well. 

The fresh air, the blue sky, and the mesmerizing harbor.

Here are the picture of Bontang Kuala, a village over the sea. It is literally, over the sea. The residents built their house with wood, the entirely village is wood too.

Thus, it's been a promising place for use to release stress.

I went there at afternoon, around 4-5pm. The sky is always enjoyable, very splendor. 

This place is never fail to amuse me. While enjoying the waterscape, I order milkshakes which is a great companion :)

I took a couple of pictures there, but the days are getting darker and the camera can no longer took good pictures. Boats were coming and going to cleave the emerald sea, while the black wind is howling at the great sea. My eyes wandered across the sea, which I could see is freedom. An absolute freedom dangles around the horizon of the earth.

 This is just a few photographs that I could take. 

I feel so bad, since I will be busy and cannot go to this place again. 

After all, this is where my breakaway, the perfect splendid hometown of mine :)

 Okay, and this is the bonus picture of my friends! They looked so happy to be here too :D
