New Hair & Layout!
Thursday, March 15, 2012
Not only did I cut my hair short and dyed it, I also changed my blog layout! ^_^ What a make-over.
This hair color is achieved by Palty's Bubble Foam dye in Lemon Tea Blonde. My second time using this color!
I hope you all like the new design~
I have been so busy learning Flash and making my portfolio website with it... And I will be going to Taiwan in the next few days. I'm estimating another 1 month until its completion =x wish me luck!

New Blog Layout~
Friday, August 6, 2010
the old
Yes it's that time of the year (?) again, time for a change! My skin was starting to itch seeing the low resolution Mac photobooth photo on the layout header. I've always used codes from existing layouts and to be honest I haven't change the codes for the past few designs, only slightly. Since I am a design student, and I learned a bit of Dreamweaver last year, I thought hey, it's time to make my own layout.
I have forgotten so much, but I somehow made everything work in Dreamweaver anyway. Web design is lots of fun! It's very exciting for the nerd in me.
In these photos I wore two layers, that's the silk kimono slip inside, and my yukata outside. I wish I had a proper kimono but I don't :<>
Thank you so much Listy for helping me take the photographs :D
Some candid shots:
fixing the hair
fixing the yukata
weird half-opened eyes candid with a fat neck
candid which looks like an ad for Nikon camera
So yes those are the photos. In total there were 459 photos, which I cut down to 99. And it just so happened that the shot I used for the header was the 459th photo!
And you may have noticed that I designed a logo for this blog. It was quite a last-minute decision really, and I just wanted to scratch something up in a few minutes so I did! I just played around with the words JUICE22 and came up with that final solution. I thought the overlapping 2's created a bit of the organic feel that is evident in the idea of 'juice'. So yeah, for something designed in around 15 minutes, I say it's not too shabby.
The previous layout title was (rose) and this time it's collection of memories, which is the English translation of those Japanese words you see. Why did I use Japanese even though I am 1.not Japanese 2.don't speak much of the language? Because I love the typography. Nuff said. And anyway it suits the blog theme.
So yeah I guess that's about it! It's a bit simple and slightly more texture here and there would look better, but I shall let it be for now. Is the font for the blog post text too big though? Hmm...

Story of Rose

Aren't changes great?
Surely I'm not the only one getting sick of that overly wide layout and the grey mix with candy colour scheme. And my old readers surely know I've used the left panel for far too long already.
Well aside from my blog, I've also changed a lot as a person in the past few weeks. For one, I now have a proof of citizenship and a driving license. I also learned more about the world, through conversations with my family, and this great book called The Alchemist. I also learned to appreciate the people around me, and to love them more.
Not long ago I thought "seems like life only started for me the moment I stepped on Melbourne", but that is so far from the truth and now I can't believe the thought even crossed my mind. The thing is, before Melbourne, I lived through the days following a routine. In Melbourne, I broke the routine, but I was still oblivious to what living could really be. But now I'm back in Jakarta and now I see clearer about life and it is partly about love, following your dreams, trying your best and living for the moment. (The Alchemist, anyone??)
Soo... I probably sound like some guy in some sort of campaign preaching about enlightenment -_-' but the point is I feel like I'm a better person now. And I see things with better understanding. Kind of like how a baby bird feels when it first learns how to flap its wings.
Deep stuff aside, I love roses! Especially pale coloured ones. Red ones are lovely too of course. I got a bunch from a wedding party the other day and I decided I'd make press flowers out of them so I googled instructions for it. Hung the roses upside down in my closet for 2 days, and now they're being pressed amidst my humongous pile of Maths books accumulated from sec 1. Don't know how they will turn out :s
Back to deep stuff, I now have a brand new favourite quote:
The secret of life is to fall seven times and to get up eight times.
Have a great day guys :D

New Banner thing
Sunday, August 16, 2009
Yaaay finally I changed my stupid face banner thing. I swear I was so sick of looking at that face I wanted to ... change it. So I did!
This is not something I usually do. Usually I would get a whole new set of pictures and change the layout completely. But since I'm actually still in the middle of a project due tomorrow and it's 11pm, whatever. I just used some low quality webcam picture =p
I admit my face still looks a bit wrong there but what the heck. Anything is better than the previous one I think. Vina needs change!
And I know it looks very simple but I don't know what else to do to it. Plus I really have to go back to my project... So yeah! Whatever!
:3
EBIL HAMMIES!

YES IT FRIKIN IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A NEW BLOG LAYOUT!!!!!!!!! WOOT W00T WOOT
^__^ You can already tell I'm sure but I'm very happy. I was getting SO.SICK of my face on the previous layout. I badly wanted to smack all three of them. gosh, what was I thinking?? O__o
Actually I wanted to renovate the blog yesterday, but as I have mentioned before, my internet was being a total pain in the butt. HOWEVER, today it has recovered!!!!!! And therefore after uni today I went home and did up the whole thing :)
And you're like wtf is that in my hair, flowers???
And you're like wtf is that in my hair, flowers???
Probably in a few months I would be wtf was I thinking again, but for now I let it be. I was actually inspired by a CG I saw a loooonng time ago. It was a girl bathed in neon green and yellow lights. So her skin and long hair was all green, and stuck in her hair were little yellow flowers. The artist called it something like the Girl with Golden Flowers or the like.
And as for the colour paletter bar thing, credit it to Adobe kuler which is awesome. The flower patterns are from Photoshop of course (duh). All other credits you can see from the sidebar.
I love the softer, warmer colour palette in this layout. The tagboard would be my fave it's so sweet looking.
Oh and my holidays are over! I fattened up! (I am not deliberately insulting myself, Ratna is proof that I really did!)
Hi Vina how are you?
It's been cooooolllld in Melbourne. And I was actually sick for 2 days during Easter break. The wind is unbearable! I hate the wind. :(
I finished my Life Drawing project and "Business Card" project and handed them in today. I'm happy! :)
I got a new project today from Design Theory class, and the brief instructs us to "challenge ourselves". In fact that is the whole project. Do something to challenge ourselves. And it means anything! Maybe something we did and wasn't satisfied with the outcome, something we've always wanted to try to do, something we are afraid to do...
We are supposed to release dopamine in this project.
I find it very very interesting. I love challenging myself. But I don't know what I'm going to do yet... hmm....
- learn business
- understand music theory
- be 49kg
=p Hey, I've always wanted to be 49kg. That would come with exercise, and did you know that my physique is really poor. I only ran a little to the station today and I already felt very tired and dizzy. Maybe for this project I should challenge myself to exercise. Don't know.
Maybe I should busk on the streets playing the violin! =DD Omg... nobody would give me money... Maybe they will... for me to stop playing. T_T
Juen said she's always wanted to cosplay... hmm me too. Since I was so young. But that would cost and I don't really want to spend that extra cash on costumes.
I wonder what everyone will be doing. Exciting =D
And that picture above is my "business card" project. Don't take the words literally, it just basically means something like an identity project. I created a meant-to-be-kennel using popsicle sticks and inside I place photos of me and animals and I write the story of each picture behind them. The pictures aren't in that photo because it was very windy when I was taking the photo and I didn't want the pictures to fly off.
If you got a sharp eye, you see familiar yellow flowers >_>

New Blog Layout
Tuesday, September 2, 2008
Yes, people have been telling me to change my blog layout since the day I dyed my hair. So now here it is!
Actually, I wanted to give it the name "Orange Range" but since it would be exactly like that J-rock band, I decided on Orange Punch.
We now ask the question "why". Why orange, Vina? Do you like orange? Actually, no not really, aside from my liking to all sorts of colours, I don't particularly favour orange in any way. It's just that for some reason, when I designed the colour scheme for my bedroom, I had put in a lot of orange. And my pillows are orange. When I was taking the photos, I was looking for a bright background, and my shocking pink wallpaper somehow wasn't doing the trick, then I saw my pillows and... tadaah~
So Vina, you actually held the pillow in one hand and the camera in another??
Yes. Try imagining me doing that while smiling for the camera, it should be quite funny. So now when you see my photos you can laugh. But give me credits, you think it's easy holding such a big heavy pillow steady behind my head??? Bah! Look at this picture to see the gigantic SIZE of the pillow:
I look like a midget =.=
Anyway.
I'm loving opera music now! >w< Especially those from The Phantom of The Opera. Actually, I watched this ages ago. But this morning I suddenly had the phase of 'music stuck in my head', and it was a song from The Phantom of The Opera which I have yet to download. So I went to my laptop, and downloaded several tunes:
later~

Gerard Butler has such a wonderful voice!!! It can be soft and gentle, then suddenly it's loud and menacing. OOOOHHH!!! AND HE'S HOT TOO!!! I swear I have a fetish for those mysterious characters. I even had a thing for V from V for Vendetta. But behind the mask, let's say he's not that flattering. He looks quite okay when he smiles though. So okay here's some pics on Gerard Butler:
HOOOTTT
And here's a song you guys can enjoy:
later~
