Wanderlust #1 – Takara Gallery Workroom

[dropcap]I[/dropcap]’ve visited Japan twice. The first one was in Autumn of 2012, I was travelling alone and that was the most amazing time of my life. The second was in Summer 2013, I went there with my sister. I wasn’t feel the same excitement like the first time I stepped on Japan, but there’s still something amazing about the country. I still want to visit it again and maybe for my ultimate train trip I’ve already planned for a long time ago.

One of the places that I want to visit is Takara Gallery Workroom. The first time I know about the place is when Fictive Fingers did a collaboration with them, which resulted a beautiful pattern inspired by water. The gallery lies in Gujo city in Gifu prefecture. Located in the middle of Honshu island, that’s definitely the area I haven’t visited before. Visitor can try hands on of screen printing (and you know how much I love screenprinting!), as well as buy some of their merchandise. Japanese pattern is interesting. I love how they combine both classic and quirky object. I’ll definitely checked Takara Gallery Workroom on my-place-to-visit list.

See the adorable video they made here.

The Drama We Live Within

Yesterday, I was stunned watching American Crime Story’s first episode. The People vs OJ Simpson.

Ryan Murphy is one of a kind.

Murphy started his career by creating a teen drama titled Popular (1999). A series of two opposing high school girls forced to get along when their parents decided to get married. The series surprisingly played in local TV station back in those days and I genuinely love it.

Inspiration: Light Reading

[dropcap]B[/dropcap]eberapa tahun ke belakang, saya akui saya berhenti membaca buku. Sulit sekali menemukan waktu yang pas untuk tekun membaca kecuali di WC (haha) dan waktu weekend. Waktu weekendpun kalau ada waktu luang selalu saya habiskan dengan melihat sesuatu yang visual, entah (ehem) menonton Youtube ataupun TV series dan film. Sedih sih ada beberapa buku yang cuma saya beli tapi tidak baca sedikitpun. Bahkan kalau ditanya seputar katalog penulis masa kini seperti Haruki Murakami, Rainbow Rowell atau John Green, saya nggak pernah sama sekali menyentuh hasil karya mereka :)) Dunia, tolong maafkan saya.

Tahun kemarin, saya malah banyak membeli buku craft, kumpulan cerita pendek, puisi, dan buku non-fiksi. Kebanyakan buku yang saya selesaikan ringan dibaca, banyak gambarnya (ini penting), dan bisa selesai dengan 2-3 kali baca. Dari semua  buku tersebut, ini beberapa yang berkesan buat saya.
