High Hopes

 Liz Lemon found these words sooner than me.

Mindy Mind

“If someone called me chubby, it would no longer be something that kept me up late at night. Being called fat is not like being called stupid or unfunny, which is the worst thing you could ever say to me. Do I envy Jennifer Hudson for being able to lose all that weight and look smokin’ hot? Of course, yes. Do I sometimes look at Gisele Bundchen and wonder how awesome life would be if I never had to wear Spanx? Duh, of course. That’s kind of the point of Gisele Bundchen. And maybe I will, once or twice, for a very short period of time. But on the list of things I want to do in my lifetime, that’s not near the top. I mean, it’s not near the bottom either. I’d say it’s right above “Learn to drive a vespa,” but several notches below “film a chase scene for a movie.” 

Mindy Kaling deserves to be labeled as a legend --- the least being phenomenon --- thanks to her being one of the most relatable woman in Hollywood today. She is smart and funny and overall, honest, about who she is and what she isn't. It's no longer the right time to tell the world how you only keep on drinking water and thinking positively to change the shape of your jawline (if I were a doctor I sure would challenge that theory scientifically). It's the time to be honest about who you are; even if you're not exactly the kind of extrovert that Mindy Kaling is. She was, after all, a nerd. And she admitted it; never feeling ashamed or the need to hide it. It's the time to be honest how you've been the victim of racism, or that you are secretly a racist too, and how you always failed to subscribe to the idea of standard beauty recognised by the society today; I mean, it's really the time to see people way beyond their looks. It's no longer the time to talk on the internet about how you feel weird seeing an Indian woman kissing all the hot, white men on her own TV show, and it's surely no longer the time to stop admiring how hard it is to be her kind of girl just because she is of South Asian descent, not a size 2, and because you were disturbed by the idea of she was not cut out to be your standard leading lady of Hollywood, because otherwise, who's the racist one now?

P.S: Start loving Mindy, here. I would suggest you to watch the entire interview, though. It's very exhilarating.

Precious Love

Seven years have passed since I first tearfully sing along to You Give Me Something, finally get the chance to meet James Morrison in person and thanks a lot to Yasmine, we get to take a picture with him. I promised myself that I was going to see some specific artists when they visited Indonesia no matter what happens, be it lonesome or stormy weather, and he was one of those, among Damien Rice and Coldplay and Arctic Monkeys. So it was one of the most beautiful nights in my life. And that's how I know that it's a wonderful world.

the boy with the freckles oh so perfect

Meet Eddie Redmayne from London. Burberry model slash avant-garde turn commercial actor slash Old Etonian.

Everybody’s growing up, having kids and paying rent

Who doesn't want a bit of a summer wedding? Well, here goes my top 5...

1. Prince William - Kate Middleton

I know it's not exactly a summer wedding, but, bitch please. They're royals. Of course they chose April 29th on purpose. They wanted to be the pioneer of all the summer-y weddings!

2. Jamie Hince - Kate Moss

Another Kate, another beautiful wedding story to tell. From the rehearsal dinner to the big nuptial, it's perfect. That's the Kate Moss we love.

3. Kris Humphries - Kim Kardashian

Busty Armenian babes overload! Not so beautiful but this one has to make the list as I'm a new fan of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. No, seriously. It's fun and an even better guilty pleasure than McDonalds. Yep, there goes the amazing philistine in me.

4. Thomas Mars - Sofia Coppola

Hands down. Nobody can be more effortlessly flawless than these two. I mean, really.

5. Mark Ronson - Josephine de la Baume

OKAY SO THIS IS THE REASON WHY WE HAVE FIVE AND WHY WE HAVE THIS POST. THIS ONE IS SO GODDAMN HEARTBREAKING AND SO FUCKING UNEXPECTED. I KNOW THEY'RE ENGAGED AND ONCE HE WAS ENGAGED TO RASHIDA JONES TOO BUT COME ON. I THOUGHT HE'S THE GEORGE CLOONEY OF THE COOLS. I THOUGHT HE'S THE KIND OF GUY WHO WOULD SAY "NOT FOR ME" WHEN THEY ASK HIM ABOUT MARRIAGE. OKAY, ENOUGH. IT MUST BE A BEAUTIFUL PROVENCE WEDDING WITH THE BRIDE WEARING SOME ZAC POSEN GOWN THAT DOESN'T LOOK EXACTLY ELEGANT (WELL, ELEGANT ISN'T EXACTLY WHAT WE EXPECT FROM THESE TWO ANYWAY) AND THOUGH, AS THEY SAY, THE GROOM ALMOST OUTSHONE THE BRIDE (WELL DONE, MARK) AU REVOIR THE COOLEST JEW EVER. WELL, GOOD TO KNOW MARK'S NOT SOME JERK, ANYWAY. MAZEL TOV, RONSON!

Happiness Hit Her, Like A Train On a Track

To me, Florence Welch is like that senior in school who always show up late in the mornings---until they can't call it morning anymore---but always look so impeccably stylish and cool in a very effortless way that trying to look great isn't the reason why she was late; she's that senior in school who wears all the tackiest vintage clothes you could imagine but still can pull it off; she's that girl who always wear her style with a little bit of drama; she's that girl who wears things that you would consider as a fashion crime that no one should ever buy it, and looks great in them. She's that girl whose every moves look as if she was having fun and enjoying the day, who smokes like drinks water and drinks water like, well, smokes. She's that girl teachers will tell you not to take examples at, but she will graduate a valedictorian. She's that girl.

Excuse me, can you please adopt me?

To live and be a few steps ahead of people is boring and suddenly the world seems so dull. It must be sucks to be Victoria Beckham.

I will not agree with anyone who says there's anyone luckier than Victoria Beckham. I will not. It's just not open for compromise. She has everything every girl could wish for: great style, great friends, great homes, great body, great shoes, great wardrobe, great jeans, great style, great tan (yes, I like hers more than Pippa Middleton's), money that won't be drained until my seventh generation, a face quirky enough to make people never forget (and to appear in magazine covers), her own exclusive clothing line with no tolerance for the term "affordable" (and apparently have the ability to afford just about anything she wants), a brief popstar career as a stepping stone, cute boys and finally a daughter to play Barbie with, and last but not least, the greatest accessory that nobody just can win over: David Beckham. The list could go on forever! Okay she might not be that great, but admit it. At one point in life, you'd want at least a piece of her: either it's her hair, her shoes, her jeans, her body, or her husband. You want an icon for this generation? I vote for Victoria!

P.S.Okay, any one of you who disagree with me, please at least vote for David because admit it, he is so the Man of Our Generation!

Rusty Kitty

First thing first.

Russell Brand is the very messy type of guy whom in your first sight of him would think he puts a different girl in a cab every other day and will never, ever settle down for a marriage.

Truth is, he did. I mean, they did.

Well, I didn't really like Russell or Katy. I thought he's too messy and she's too Lady GaGa. But once they coupled up and see what happens? This is what I think love should be: it makes each of the lovers be a better version of who they are. They look so much better together than apart, and life is such a fairytale if you look at it through them.

I imagine Russell isn't always the funny guy we know him to be, maybe the rumours were true; with Katy, he seeks for God and became spiritual and matured up and then finally ready for marriage.

Two things from the last picture. 1) A love like these two share, and 2) That Chanel bag. Please.

oh, one bonus picture! If you go to the same college as me and knows something, you'll probably smile :)

Frog... oh no! Bald Prince!

Perhaps ten years ago, every girl in the world is crushing on this ex-Etonian His Royal Highness for his second-in-line to the throne, gorge face, DNA, status et al. Well, all grown up, except one thing........

his hair.

Miley Cyrus was right

I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I've been living under the table for the past month, with all final exam and the loss of one of my uncles during that one hell of a week really just make it worse, but I just started to hang out and hit some malls again. I mean, it's just malls, nothing so good, but, ERGH. something really disturbs me.

And it's ROBERT PATTINSON. all that photos and exposures are so sickening that I wanna puke on them. seriously,

everything about him is just too much overrated, it's not like he's the most gorgeous man on the planet! and it seems like he went from this modest British bloke to the overwhelmed Hollywood hunk that thinks every girls want a bite of him. EW.

and therefore Miley was right. Girls aren't in love with Rob Pattinson; they're in love with Edward.

so don't get too high on this euphoria, Mr. Pattinson. youre in the same position as daniel radcliffe, it's just that you're in american film and he was in english production that you seem to be.... better.

Get over yourself, girls. and Rob.
