A Touching Love Story behind What are words - Chris Medina


"Find someone who loves you at your weakest, who holds you in your darkest day, and who will stand by you forever more.."


Does true love still exist?

I believe it was the time of our Grand Father and Grand Mother, when a man can vow to die in place of his wife or his children, just because the True Love exists between them.


Today's world has totally changed. Sometimes people are together for a wrong reason, not for the sake of True Love. In todays time, True Love is so rare.


Every now and then i used to think that True Love exists only in romance novels or movies. But, this touching story has totally changed my mind. It just made me teary-eyed, knowing that true love is still exist. The song, what are words-which figures how great Chris Medina's unconditional love is.

I hope that this heartfelt love story would inspire you...

Download WHAT ARE WORDS single by Chris Medina here.

Chris Medina, an american idol contestant from Milwaukee audition who has a great talent in singing , also the saddest story in the show history.

He fell in love with his Fiancee, Juliana Ramos at the first moment he saw her. Then they became engaged in 2007 , at Starbucks the place where Juliana worked in.

They had planned to wed two years after getting engaged, but shortly before they could walk down the aisle, Juliana was in a tragic car accident, which left her a traumatic brain injury and a coma.

That car accident has changed their lives. But that didn't change Chris Medina. Juliana woke up from her coma, though, and Medina has stood by her side, helping to take care of her along with Juliana's Mother.



Chris Medina's single - what are words, describes exactly his true love for Juliana. As he called her "ANGEL"

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
Anytime you whisper my name, you'll see

How every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words

If they're only for good times
Then they don't
When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

And I know an angel was sent just for me
And I know I'm meant to be where I am
And I'm gonna be

Standing right beside her tonight
And I'm gonna be by your side
I would never leave when she needs me most

What are words
If you really don't mean them
When you say them
What are words
If they're only for good times
Then they don't

When it's love
Yeah, you say them out loud
Those words, They never go away
They live on, even when we're gone

Anywhere you are, I am near
Anywhere you go, I'll be there
And I'm gonna be here forever more

Every single promise I keep
Cuz what kind of guy would I be
If I was to leave when you need me most
I'm forever keeping my angel close

How often do we meet this such kind of guy? The one who chooses to stay, love and support despite the situation.
My respect goes to you.


This world needs a man like you, Chris. You are not just one of a kind, but you're one in a billion.

If you wanna help Juliana's recovery, you can donate here.
And the latest update about Juliana's progress here.

True Love Conquers all, our prayers are be with you.

Charlotte Olympia Dolly Canvas Pumps


And yes, another post about shoes.




You should've thought before you paint on this gorgeous canvas. It's a lil bit pricey, though :p

Giuseppe Zanotti Spring Summer 2011


I always look forward to another Giuseppe Zanotti's collection. Not because i can only find the nearest store at Jakarta, but his work is always chic , simple, and elegant. Another masterpiece from an amazing italian brand. The simplycity touches along with several gold and black are perhaps the most accurate reflections when it comes to this season's latest trends. And here it is the Spring Summer 2011 Ad Campaign.



Oh Anja, what a gorgeous skinny legs you have.
I'm not a big fan of chunky wooden heels, actually. Because it doesn't look good on me. But this twiggy platform sandals comes with designer-stamped button. Giuseppe never fails.



I've been eyeing this nude platform peep-toe sling backs. This is pretty much wearable, since i live in Indonesia.lol

What Valentine's day means to me.

AGAPE.STORGE.EROS.PHILIA.


Say Hello to February, The Month of Love. And it’s few minutes till Valentine.

What does Valentine mean to you ? Is it always about Dinner, Roses, or Chocolate ?

Let's see valentine's day in a different way. If you're with me, please continue reading this.


God Has Created 4 kind of love.


First, AGAPE.

It's an unconditional dan sacrificial love. That's what Jesus has given to us. Have you ever tried to please him or even just grateful for his LOVE in every Valentine’s day? This should be your priority fellas. Be thankful for He was the one who loves us first, by sending his Son to redeem us.

Second, STORGE.

When everything goes wrong, I realized that my family will always be there for me no matter what. FAMILY is our precious treasure. Your Dad and Mom, Your Brother and Sister. In this Valentine's day, let them know how much you care about them. Cherish every single moment you had, while you can. Show your love =)

Third, EROS.

Unlike the previous kind of love, this one is different. I called it passionate love and could happen between you and your Girlfriend/BoyFriend. Eros is probably most what people mean when it comes to "I LOVE YOU" and Valentine.

As we all know, Spending valentine's day with your loved ones would be amazing. Perfect candle light dinner, a bouquet of roses. But besides those romantic-thingy, Valentine shouldn’t be celebrated only at February 14th. If you really love someone, everyday would be Valentine. Got what i meant ?

Last but not least, PHILIA.

We recognize PHILIA as a brotherly love. It's all about friendship. Yet sometimes,it can not provide a reliable fellowship since it is so dependent upon perception and circumstances.

So, Do i have to say "I LOVE YOU" to all my friends? NO.

Just simply forgive your enemies. Remember, Forgiveness is the BEST REVENGE.


Valentine's day is all about showing your love to everyone, and an absolute forgiveness.

That’s why God has created 4 different kind of love in our lives.

They are created differently, so they can make every single day of our life count.


Happy Valentine's Day.

Bisous.xx.

Blake Lively on Sex and The City Prequel ? and THE BLAKE


You've probably heard this rumor
Rumor said that Blake Lively- Gossip Girl Darling is set to star as Carrie Bradshaw in the Prequel.

Well,It does make sense. No one can deny her fashion consciousness though. Besides her role as Serena VanderWoodsen on Gossip Girl , She is a big fan of Brian Atwood, and Christian Louboutin. Yeah, Maybe not as much as SJP's Manolo which is hundreds. But, Blake is so Carrie-ish. don't you think ? The younger version of course!

All we have to do is, Just wait and see :)


Speaking of which, Blake was in Paris. besides doing her Gossip Girl Fourth season, she was attending couture shows with Anna Wintour, hanging around with Karl lagerfeld and John Galliano. wow!

Straight to the point , Christian Louboutin names one of his creations THE BLAKE which is dedicated to BLAKE LIVELY. I'm not so sure that THE BLAKE was one of his masterpiece, though. See.
But, Congratulations S. Seems like Gossip Girl just brought you to the great accomplishment.
XoXo,
Gossip Girl!

You had me at hello.


Happy Chinese New Year, first of all.
I know it's a bit late, but at least it's better late than nothing, right?

I am in the midst of exciting project. I am developing a system that is related to SMEs (Small to Medium Enterprises) program for middle low. Besides doing business, we can help them to achieve their dreams :) I've been pretty busy doing meetings with a few huge brands for this program. Hopefully, it could be done as soon as possible. Amen.

As i've mentioned before, i went to Mr. and Mrs. Budi Said's wedding. So this is my very first post for "FROM MY CLOSET" . Enjoy.

I was wearing Karen Millen dress, paired it with Chanel Mini Clutch , and Charles & Keith T-strap.

This is why i bought this dress, the back side is amazingly fierce.
and also, very comfortable to wear.

Chanel is forever. this bag's age is actually as old as mine. it doesn't look oldschool, rite?


Since I havent bought any DSLR yet, hope it would be understandable.

Bisous!xx
