Boots Down The Road

I was born on Renegade era.

I spent my childhood nights watching Renegade (and also Mac Gyver) at the tellie.

Soon as i wrote this, my boyf says

"You were a kid, probably still a kindergarten student, and you watch Renegade?"

Yes, baby, i'm not a kind of Power Ranger kiddie.

I aint gonna talk about the series, but like i did on several posts before (or was it only ONE post?), i'm gona talk about the shoes.

In this case, the boots.

In particular type, the lace-up boots.

Mr. Renegade Man (i forgot the name of the character), as a biker, always wear a leather boots to cover his heels.

Gently riding his up-high Harley Davidson, he kills the road and become a legend.

But you don't have to be a biker, nor being so manly, to wear boots.

Here are some cute and chic, also the tough and rocky boots to help you touch the road down.

The Smooth "Oxford" Criminal Shoes

I love shoes.

Any kind of shoes.

Flat, wedges, heels, boots, ankle boots, peep-toe, mary-jane, sneakers, and even ballet shoes.

Call me out-of-style, but i do admit, "oxford shoes" is a new word for me.

I often see it, for sure, but the words came into my brain in just less a month ago.

Moron.

For those who also have no idea of what kind of shoes it is, check your old video stocks, then play Jacko's "Smooth Criminal".

There ya go. That's oxford shoes.

Wikipedia describes Oxford shoes as a style of laced shoe characterized by shoelace eyelet tabs that are stitched underneath the vamp, a construction method that is also sometimes referred to as "closed lacing".

For those of you who thinks the elaboration sounds complicated (like what i also think), just check your daddy's shoes. His working shoes. If your father works in a formal office. If your father is working.

Whatever.

Oxfords first appeared in Scotland and Ireland, where they are occasionally called Balmorals. In Indonesia, Balmorals is a shoe brand. Oxford shoe brand. So if a Scottish or an Irish came to Indonesia and buy a pair of Oxford shoes from Balmorals, they'll ask for a Balmoral's Balmorals.

In France, Oxfords are better known under the name of Richelieu. It's a cute name, anyway. If i never knew that it's a shoe name, i'll use it for my future kid's name. But i don't wanna named my kids with a shoe name, just like i won't named my kids Mary-Jane.

Here are some Oxfords pictures i've got from Polyvore.

2011 Wish List: Come, Lucky Time, Come!

Well, hello everyone. It's Dec 31 and we'll celebrate the new year's eve tonite! Yeaaay!

Unfortunately, i'll just stay at home, watching the tellie, then adjust my watch to the exact hour. Haha.

So, what will i do, what will i be in 2011?

Here's my wish list:

1. Working as a journalist in a media

Sorry for have no time to write down on this blog that i've had a very nice time on my internship program in Bintang Indonesia. Last Friday was my last day of being an intern on that entertainment tabloid. As someone who absolutely passionate of being a journalist since i was in high school, it feels like i've finally reached my dream.

But i haven't reach the satisfaction of being a journalist if i do it just as an intern. I wanna do it for living. Next year!

Here are the medias i wanna work with:

For God sake, i'm craving for being a fashion journalist!

Urban Style magz

 This magazine belongs to Sedaya Citra Media which also the owner of Bintang Indonesia. Both located in the same building and even in the same room. Only a red-thick partition that separates the room. I knew some of the journalists, like Stallone, Novita, and Agung, and they're sooooo hilariously fun! They're nice and friendly. Ok, i should've talk about the magz, but the people factor could be the most important thing. If your job is good, your salary is good, your room is good, but the people is always stare at you with cat eyes and makes you feel uncomfortable, just leave it, safe and sound!

Anyway, i miss Stallone, Novita, and mas Agung :')

Bintang Indonesia

 I love the job, i love the events that we usually being invited, i love interviewing the celebrity, and i love the facility. Really. That's nice being an entertainment journalist.

Extra Wishlist

Harper's Bazaar

Well, i'm a newbie in journalism world. I know it's almost impossible for me to work with Harper's in 2011 as my very first professional job, but i do craving for a position there.

  2. Money-Making

 How? Are you asking me how to do it? By achieving my first wishlist, of course ;)

 Oh, maybe by opening my own online shop, too. It's been a long time dream and i wanna make it true, ASAP. 

3. Style-upgrading

Let's start it with dazzling shoes and chic dresses. 

Now let's prepare the brand new day with huge dreams and plans.

Happy New Year and have a nice future! :)

P.S: Happy bday to my lecturer, best-friend, and life-adviser, Yearry Panji who reaches his 28th year on earth today. Thanks for every story and life-lesson that you've taught me and keeping my two biggest secrets! Love ya, dude! ;)
