The Perfect Stranger.

Love has it's own ways in life, we may have encountered events on meeting people whom somehow we've encountered in another time, another dimension. Could've he been a lover of mine, or could've she been the grandmother of my children? There's always this nostalgic, pre-deja vu sort of feeling on our encounters in life..

Recently, as I'm travelling right now(many of you might've been checking out my pictures on instagram of me being at the Maldives a.k.a Paradise), I read a book released on the 2009s called "ICE" by Sarah Beth Durst. It's a beautiful retelling of the tale "East of The Sun West of The Moon" which is a classical Inuit tale of the polar bear and the girl. It's as if, we were someone on our past lives, going through cycles of souls, in order to make the world "work". I am a fan-well a believer of the Christianity, but these kind of theories somehow interest me, urging me to write about it.

Truthfully, sometimes I have dreams-visions of being with someone of the past. What if I invented something? What if I was the successful dreamer? What if I made a revolution? these kind of key ideas had urged me to finally motivate myself in life-motivating me in every single way, in order to make the time I have worth the wait, worth the success I deserve.

As an artist, these pictures already spoke on their own, shades of blue, china town, two strangers implemented on a slightly ghetto version of harajuku with a slight touch of the 1950s, BAM. You have a sip of Marie Antoinette Tea with Sake and Whiskey altogether. Personally I've had always wanted to shoot on the particular area, the down sides of Pasar Atum, a.k.a the ultimate source of knockoffs, fake films, good-unhealthy, quite cheap feasting, and to be honest, my textile store!.

Even though this shoot personally isn't a favorite of mine(I did love it when I was shooting it), they deserve to express their own view, how each picture are just brutal on it's own. Like f yeah bro we're shooting on the crowd, of course we might know one of these bitches from our past lives, probably?

Life, recently, has taught me something. Be crazy, but don't be a lunatic. Our boundaries are limitless, but we have to hold back sometimes, I know this is so against what I believe, but don't let anything hurt yourself back. And the fact that your instincts speak of the future. Recently suddenly out of nowhere my phone plays a song, and sure enough I didn't pull it out, BAM, it hit sea water. and yes, missy ROXTHEFOX, I shouldn't get a new blackberry since it's being a lunatic everytime lol.

I know this post isn't particularly long, since I'm on vacation and am currently too bored to brag around, so I'm going to sum up a conclusion here. Life is a boundless view itself, we will never know what comes ahead, and who is that perfect stranger. Just remember to hold on to your instincts, and never regret, even though how hard things had always been.

(Oh and I dont mention PhotoVogue features anymore since writing too much of them can just seem so cheap and tacky y'all)

All The Way To The Halcyon Days.

Ok, so the wait is over! "All The Way To The Halcyon Days" is finally up on Wattpad which you guys can click here! So basically I did peek you guys my perception of the story and how it revolves through the atmosphere, an implementation of a better living through time travel. What I've been basically comprehending these days are to change your life without basically changing who you are as an individual, how we all live in a rebirth, and change without changing at all. It's like being a snake, how you can basically change your skin without changing who you are, as being a tougher core with a tougher heart.

"All The Way To The Halcyon Days" is also a collaboration of my writing and my photographs, the vulnerability of the story itself, being a part of the inner part of my artistic core, how I travel to many places and transform these particles of memories to living art, to art pieces that mean so much to me, which can freeze strangers, going all like "wow, that is just, wow". As a revolutionary work implementing how the pretty needs to be witty enough, how a shadow only needs an extra shade in it, and how the most contrasting picture may not always have a message as powerful as normal greyscale. How each shade comprehends a specific time.

So I'm going sneak you guys several picks that will soon be up on my tumblr page. I will later post pictures that are really meaningful to me alongside 2013 itself, because this year itself is a revolutionary for myself for better days, as a challenge to reach the state of Halcyon itself. A strong implementation of both art and freedom. I'm going to collage up these pictures and post their final forms on my tumblr page. Stay tuned, unions! Love Y'all. (P.S. These pictures are A SMALL PART only one of the unions from All The Way To The Halcyon Days) itself, this section is called "EIDIE".

Make Peace, Not War.

We live in a judgmental world of hatred, when we are required to hurt and run in order for our, survival.

Disrespecting the nature of humanity, we are in the end also the human we are. We live in the deepest murk of our egos and we always tell ourselves, that our survival will advantage our generation of humanity will make the future a better place. Honestly, humanity is only a drop of consistency in a jar of hatred, one drop that either can survive as it spread it's particles, or get drowned as a darker particle.

These days, one's egos can only crush another, they have this radioactive frequency that can only break someone's bones to pieces, as if love never really gleamed and glowed, as if the world was only turning upside down towards you. Our minds were designed to love, that is why hating feels so bad, that is why finalizing the true murk of the world, we hurt each other all over again, to in the end, result the hatred we believe in today.

We face bombs, wars, murders, and such difficult crimes these days, but in the end if you do think about it again. The hearts of us humans are only as real as our minds, and once it had became contaminated, the goodness we believe in will yet only grow to a consistency of a drowned faith, every single hatred starts from our hearts, it's just that some of us play the masquerade part a lot better.

Your inner strength will only get you slightly further to the love you deserve, we all are a victim of hate, and a witness of our own generation. Our true colors only pop brighter through the polluted life if we start spreading the love we are being strong with. The power of Love will only strengthen us to the core. Our willingness for freedom, for art, and for recognition, our dreams, and our feelings towards one another positively, that is an equation of Love, of course, with an inner soul for being one's self.

We had seen many innocent ones burn and die for the survival of one country, but in the end, we are all one, a race of humanity, a race who should believe in one another, a race who deserved the strength of the world due to it's high intelligence, but then we misuse everything and forgot how we are created, from the love of God, from the Love We Deserve.

Have you ever wondered why God created several terms that seem so ugly towards the world? We then question God ourselves, "God, why can't I be a size zero?", "God, why can't I look like Cara Delevigne?", "God, why can't I get rid of these freckles?". These sort of questions of insecurity should only be eliminated, because the only thing God had created was beautiful, it's just that several misconceptions and perceptions the world deceives had traveled through our minds, giving us a judgmental ego, giving several criteria to a perfect look, which in the end leads to nothing, because Nobody's Perfect, and Nobody wants to be a Nobody.

Because Perfection, Is A Lie

Love will rise from the absence of our insecurities, Love is innocent and passionate, and that Love knows no flaws, because we are all flawed, and we all shouldn't have deserved the Love we, today, have wasted. We are a reformation of a new generation, a new race, and the only thing they can do to us is to Love us, because we all have inherited the last morals of the humanity, we, today, have lost, that is why we have to replant our morals, to believe, and to Love again.

End War, End Hatred, End The Murk That Had Caused This World Everything It Doesn't Deserve,

Because This Generation Is Worth The Love.

Love Always Wins.

A Broken Sonnet

We live in such a judgmental statement, we perceive a view on one side, and we never really reconsider that every color has a shade. Red is Red, Blue is Blue, Green is Green, but in the very end, we all have crimson hearts, the hearts we were supposed to mend and bend a little, the heart which is as hard as stone, which can't even contract a single love. Because art, in the very end, is only a statement of living, a mindset to love and to loathe.

Alongside loving and loathing, there's a part in between, and that would be the right part I am talking about here, the human nature. We are all a shade, some of us stand in a lighter grey, some of us lie in a darker grey. We had always believed being good was a good way of living, but in the very end, being truthful and honest is the best policy. How can you basically sleep after helping a group of thieves stealing for being good to them?

The Broken Sonnet, The Broken Tunes, and The Broken Hearts, The Broken Cult always leads to nothing but survival, some of us hold on in the state of murk, in the state of disbelief, but some of us just rises to the edge and believes that nothing can stop their way. Believing in one's self and their own belief is the only way of redoing the beauty of life. Stand for what you believe in, even if you're standing alone.

The truth is that most of us wear floral crowns of good relations and love, but we just hold on again to the fact that we cannot fake that feeling throughout generations. We are chasing papers of our own identity, because we are whoever we wish to be, because our mindset is determined by those wishes again, and that the mindset we believe in affects us on evolving on being who we are and the person we want to be. You are the belief you believe in.

This portfolio was inspired by this McQueen-eerie feeling, as a statement to live in our own dreams, as a statement for not being afraid to be one of a kind in the space you live in, to never let being mainstream a choice of living. Our colors are our own nature, and doesn't mean you have the darkest shade doesn't mean love and living is a shade we don't believe in. Because the lies are always pretty, and the truth can be extremely ugly. That is why it's called LI(f)E.

Why do we glamorize ourselves to remain Pretty when our hearts are just Witty?

Anyways can't wait for The Great Gatsby! This Lana Del Perfection video is just PERFECT.

Hey UNIONS!!!!!! So, no more ghetto english, mmhmm...? So anyways I'm finally here with a portfolio(I've actually got tons of material but I'm really hanging there to actually do it all, you know, a.k.a I'm usually too bored or I've just got sooooo much to do!). So, OKAY, finally I'm doing something in season for my portfolio, the 60s Mod. 

My dear friend Pricillia Lumantoro from Nude Beige contacted me to help her out for a university project, where she is required to submit a set of photo-s focusing on fashion, which ends up being formatted like a fashion editorial in a magazine, and this time, we're combining the whole mod feeling with nothing more but avant-garde, futuristic imageries, of course, with an edge of the whole 'Strong Woman" and Chic imageries.

The idea of styling a Mickey Mouse Beret with a Studded Edge into a Modern Styling Dominated With Stripes, a Floppy Beach hat with a Chic Bartender Outfit, a Bodycon Dress with an ENORMOUS headpiece, and a Striped, Sleeved, Bodycon Dress with a Striped "Helmet" Shaped Like A Square was being implemented in the shoots, the whole idea of the future, being implemented onto a vintage statement is to blend two different feelings on the same outfit. It's like seeing vintage Chanel being modified by The Late Sir McQueen, or we can assume to be a mixture of post-moderinism and something popping out of a 90s movie on Time Travel.

The whole idea of only using two BOLD colors, BLACK AND WHITE, is to create the effect of dualism, or again, to represent the human nature these days. We had always went like "the world these days are so evil", but believe it or not. There will always be an equal shade of both colors in one soul, we can assume someone to be cold hearted, or someone to posses the heart of an angel. But again, both Mother Teresa and Hitler are sinners, but again, both of them have purity in their hearts. It's just a matter of our perspective, as human beings, to implement it all. Remember, "If you dont have any shadows you're not in the light"(originally said by Mother Monster).

The Mickey Mouse styling was inspired by some citizens, who are clearly light-headed, and usually referred to be cheerful, jolly people. But again, they have their shades of black, and also symbolized by the Studded headpiece around her forehead, representing the potential to hurt, and the potential of darkness under her light.

The Chic Bartender Outfit(the set in the vortex of the circle) was inspired by the difference in CLASS and priorities in life. The hat was to symbolize a high state of authority and class, whereas the rest of the outfit is a lot more, (excuse me), exposed and has a bigger "mainstream and cheap" feeling compared to the hat. This represents someone's true colors, whereas the rules are meant to be broken, and our inner selves are again what matters.

The huge headpiece(on the right) represents the stress and the power to determine for the best the world has, the pressure to be perfectly stunning, to be a hundred percent perfect to the eyes of the superficial world, a burden striving throughout some of us, even tough the dress looks chic and slim, however her brain is constantly working much more.

 

The last outfit(on the left) is a representation of our ignorance, how people would only care about themselves(the prints on the headpiece and the dress is pretty much in the same tone), and how we don't have the will to sometimes put someone else as a priority when they should be out priority in life.

Now why metropolis? I'm trying to capture the whole High-End feeling the world revolves throughout now, how the city never sleeps, and how fashion acts as a representation of nature and art. How people these days can foresee something in a superficial behavior, which is to see something in blatant monochrome, how people would judge others easily without finding the color of their inner soul, and how these days perfection is a part of living a High-End life. Also as a movement to accept yourself in the beauty of your own prints of nature.

Anyways, I would like to send all of my prayers to Boston, my heart is with the family of the lost ones, this is why the world these days foresee the world in the monochrome behavior, or in other words in Hate. The world doesn't need more of us, humans, the world NEEDS HUMANITY. Let's fight with Love, because LOVE, always wins!. So, in that occasion, I'm going to post another Paramore video, Now, which is the first single off their latest self-titled album, this pretty much should represent the message I want to emote.

Hey guys, FREED REVOLUTION 7.0 is now on Tumblr here! , Check out for my latest artworks, designs, outfits, and Photographic Works! Anyways, these series will premiere again with literature as a compilation, I joined a competition earlier with these bunch and lost, and I believe that it's either the judges have no taste in art or it's just that I'm too qualified, like these bunch are the most perfect pieces I've ever made, and they're accusing it to be "there's no clear story behind it". Anyways sorry for the mini chitchat, ENJOY!
