Named CinderBella!

I always loved shoes better than any other things. 

Better than clothes, accessories, any kind of things you could wear.

And for me, shoes tell much about a person's personality and appraisal on things. 

And I'm going to have a big space on shoe-rack when I have my own place. :p

I'm keeping myself away from shoe-shopping now.

But these are some of my favorites from  iwearUP

Note: I already have the stella beige stripes, and I love all stella series. ;)

4. POLLY Floral Blue

Polly comes with a pocket, so you can keep and carry around your lucky penny the whole day. Polly loves cupcakes too. Do you?

3.  TREE purple

Tree is loved for her natural charms.

Purple tenun wedges in limited quantity. 

2. PANDORA fuschia

Pandora is a real sweetheart and always in love. Pandora loves to read too!

Black faux patent leather straps, velvet fuchsia trims and bows with black velvet wedges.

Simple yet sophisticated. Kate is a fun, intelligent sweetheart.

Beige straps with black trim. Red canvas-wrapped wedges.

These are super cute too! But already sold out. :'(

A Shoe Made difference to Cinderella's life. It can made difference to your life too.

One day I'm going to have all of those, and buy it myself. :p

The One That Got Away

The One That Got Away
Songwriters: Gottwald, Lukasz; Martin, Max; Perry, Katy;



Summer after high school when we first met
We make out in your Mustang to Radio head
And on my 18th birthday we got that chain tattoos
Used to steal your parents' liquor and climb to the roof
Talk about our future like we had a clue
Never plan that one day I'd be losing you

And in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in other life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

I was dreaming you were my Johnny Cash
Never one, we got the other, we made a pact
Sometimes when I miss you, I put those records on, whoa
Someone said you had your tattoo removed
Saw you downtown singing the blues
It's time to face the music, I'm longer your muse


And in another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

The one, the one, the one
The one that got away

All these money can't buy me a time machine, no
Can't replace you with a million rings, no
I should've told you what you meant to me, whoa
'Cause now I pay the price

In another life I would be your girl
We keep all our promises, be us against the world
And in another life, I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

The one, the one, the one, the one

And in another life I would make you stay
So I don't have to say you were the one that got away
The one that got away

                                                                     The One That Got Away 



This is Katy's strongest lyrics, I guess.. ;)

Who Am I?

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours

(Casting Crowns) 

I'd Do It All Again

"I'd Do It All Again"
Ooh, you’re searching for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh, you’re thirsting for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh, you did it all again, you broke another skein
It’s hard to believe this time, hard to believe
That my heart, my heart’s an open door
You got all you came for, baby
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride’s worth
Is bigger than the pain you got for it hurts
And out runs all of the sadness
It’s terrifying, life, through the darkness

And I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
I’d do it all again, I’d do it all again
You try sometimes but it won’t stop
You got my heart and my head’s lost, ooh yeah
I’ve been burning down these candles for love, for love
So weary, someone to love is bigger than your pride
Ooh, someone to love, mm, someone to love
Someone to love
Ooh, you’re searching for something I know,
won’t make you happy
Ooh

Cuma mau bilang kalau saya suka lagu ini, versi ini. Terima kasih. 

how I met you

how I met you.

kalau menurut saya, yang paling menarik dari cerita cinta itu adalah gimana dua orang bisa ketemu, then fall for each other. ada yang awalnya biasa aja, temen atau dikenalin, temennya temen atau sodara, kenal di UKM atau organisasi,t empat ibadah,dll. ada juga yang ceritanya kompleks, ternyata dia adalah blablabla nya mantan pacar emak saya..

saya penasaran. sejak resmi single di november 2008 saya pengen banget ngalamin cerita manis soal gimana saya bisa fall sama someone.
baru bisa dipublish sekarang, (sambil deg2an berasa tes mental,saya malu banget kalau dicie2in.)
dan buat objeknya, maaf ya, resiko anda dating a writer. :)

saya nggak percaya kebetulan.sama ketika menghadapi teori relativitas einstein, semua hal yang terjadi di hidup kita adalah cahaya, dan kita itu benda yang bergerak. relativitasnya adalah ya, sebanyak apa pengalaman yang bisa kita ambil hikmahnya. dan karena cahaya menimpa semua objek, hanya dalam selisih waktu yang berbeda, dan kecepatannya tidak sama, maka hasilnya akan berbeda.

saya ketemu langsung sama dia itu tahun 2008. 5 oktober. nggak, bukan saya segitu freaknya sampai inget tanggal itu,
tapi tahun itu saya menjabat sebagai sekertaris sebuah ikatan, yang mengharuskan saya punya daftar hadir,jadi saya punya catatan sepanjang tahun tentang siapa saja yang datang pada setiap pertemuan.
sebelumnya saya cuma tahu dia dari nama, dia temennya temen deket saya.

nggak ketemu lagi, tahu-tahu dia dateng ke sebuah acara tahun baru di 2009, saya dateng karena diajakin sama si temen saya ini. di situ saya dan dia kenal.tepatnya saya berkonspirasi sama temen saya ini supaya bisa dikenalin tanpa terlihat sengaja. jangan tanya kenapa, saya juga nggak ngerti sampai hari ini, tapi sejak obrolan singkat kami, saya sudah merasa fall for him.dan sialnya, bukan cuma sekedar suka.i fell deep.

waktu berlalu, saya dan dia nggak pernah ketemu lagi, kampus dan kegiatan beda. kadang saya suka buka profile dia di facebook untuk sekedar tahu kabar,tanpa kirim wall atau message.
saya jadi tahu dia suka jazz, suka baca, pinter motret, dan little things lainnya.saya nggak berani memulai apa-apa,karena nggak mungkin dia bisa suka sama saya, saya nggak mau dia menjaga jarak kalau tahu saya suka sama dia.

sampai tahu2 sudah januari 2010.
saya dikejutkan oleh kiriman wall dari dia yang bertanya 'apa kabar?'
dan cuma satu kalimat itu sanggup bikin saya nggak karuan, senyum senyum sendiri, jantung rasanya berdetak lebih kencang, tangan saya dingin. dan dengan berat saya menyadari: saya belum lupa sama dia.
dimulailah kami intens saling comment, ngobrol,dan chat di YM. dan terjadilah.

di febuari, secara nggak janjian kami ketemu di satu mall di cihampelas, saya dan teman2 saya, dia dan teman2nya. sebenarnya saya sudah ngeliat dia, tapi sudah setahun lebih nggak ketemu, saya nggak inget mukanya dia.ketika (akhirnya) dia menyapa saya, dia menyalam tangan saya dengan tangan kanan, lalu menyalam teman yang lain, sambil menggenggam tangan saya di tangan kirinya.
asli, itu lima detik terlama di hidup saya.dia nggak sadar sama sekali udah bikin muka saya blushing abis abisan.saya mati kutu.baru itu saya tahu kalau lima detik digenggam tangannya bisa bikin kamu sport jantung abis abisan.

nggak berapa lama, kami saling menghilang. jadwal yang beda bikin nggak bisa selalu ketemu waktu online.sampai di awal april,saya pulang dari garden cafe, online subuh2 dan mendapati kalau dia juga online, chatting, lalu berujung dia menanyakan nomor saya.
(saya jawabnya sok cool aja, padahal dalam hati udah jingkrak2 sambil bilang 'AKHIRNYA!)
dan dari situlah semuanya dimulai.

beberapa hari setelahnya, kami janjian nonton three idiots, hari selasa. hari minggu sebelumnya, saya opname. dia jenguk saya, setiap hari.temen2 saya mulai mencium gelagat 'aneh' saya dan dia, ("kalau nggak suka ngapain juga jenguk tiap hari") ditambah wajah saya yang selalu berubah merah kalau ada dia.dan dua random people yang nggak deket, nggak pernah ketemu, nggak pernah smsan, tautau ketemu tiap hari memang mengundang tanda tanya.
empat hari kemudian, kami jalan bareng.
menurut saya dia pintar dan teman ngobrol yang seru, dan saya lupa waktu.ngobrol sama dia bikin betah, bukan sekedar karena saya suka.dia memang orang yang menarik.

setelah saya dan dia jadi nggak-pernah-nggak-smsan, saya makin nggak karuan. senyum senyum, jadi zombie ngeliatin handphone terus.saya jadi sering kangen dan pengen ketemu dia. setelah sama2 berani bilang kangen dan pengen ketemu,saya masih nggak yakin, karena rasanya masih terlalu cepet buat apapun-itu,saya bahkan nggak yakin dia suka sama saya in that kind of way.cowok kayak dia nggak mungkin suka sama cewek kayak saya. toh baru sekali juga jalan bareng.

saya menikmati cara kami ngobrol, cara dia mengetik sms, cara dia membuat saya tertawa, cara dia bilang kangen, dan saya sampai di titik dimana saya nggak mau kalau nggak ada dia,nggak mau kalau bukan dia.
dan semuanya hancur begitu saja waktu saya lihat status facebooknya dia 'in a relationship with....'

saya memberanikan diri meminta penjelasan, dan dia bilang kita ketemu aja. hari selasa, dia jemput saya, dan akhirnya saya dan dia ngeliat citylight bandung.dia nggak tahu gimana deg degan nya saya waktu dia pegang pipi saya sambil bilang 'dingin' dan gimana saya harus bereaksi kalau dia akhirnya menyebut nama pacarnya.

kalau kalian nyangka dia ngomong saat itu, salah.
dia nggak ngejelasin apa-apa sampai akhirnya kami pulang,membuat hati saya makin berantakan.
dan satu kalimat simpel tentang status itu dia bilang di motor,waktu kami di jalan pulang.
saya dan dia makin ngerasa nggak jelas, terutama setelah saya dan dia berani bilang perasaan masing-masing.

dua hari kemudian, kami ketemu lagi.lalu saya dan dia ngobrol panjang, dan enam belas bulan lamanya saya menunggu, tanpa berani untuk sekedar berharap, akhirnya dia pun bertanya, dan saya cuma perlu memberi jawaban singkat,'mau'
dan akhirnya enam belas bulan itu pun beku.delapan belas hari sejak kami 'kenal' di sms.saya dan dia memulai chapter baru.

bagaimana dua orang bisa ketemu dan saling jatuh cinta? saya sekarang have no idea. bisa aja sesimpel mereka satu sekolah, satu gereja, satu organisasi, atau dengan cerita ribet dan panjang yang sekarang saya jalanin. kenapa yang paling manis adalah cerita bagaimana mereka ketemu?

karena di masa-masa sukar, di saat saya khilaf, atau di saat dia buat kesalahan, di saat dia menyakiti hati saya atau saya mengecewakan dia, hari yang harus saya ingat dengan jelas adalah the day we fell in love.
