We All Go Back To Where We Belong

Everyday where...

where my morning is normally embrace with the divine images of my daughter
where at its best, the morning light reflects behind my curtain
where I always come across with this view outside my window 
where I settle myself in the living room
where I have my harmonious green tea and briefly read some pages of a novel
where I love to stare the women on a sort of a 'Victorian era' where fashion seen mostly in the 1840s till early 1870s in this painting despite the frightening frame
where I discern the bright skies in an open window
where the other side of the window allowed a boring view
where after my grand shower, I had to abandon the flat by passing this wide yet clean corridor 
     where when I'm going down I discourage myself to use the lift by pressing the button up instead of down to avoid the temptation
where I better stretch some leg muscles by using the stairs from second floor to ground floor.
where I take a seemingly usual short walk on my way to work 
where I have my much anticipated hot black coffee in the office
where I ignite another long day of performing my job
where I eat my weird lunches like this fettuccine with spaghetti sauce in full enthusiasm
where I finally walked home after a stressful day of work
But those everyday walks are associated with distress and homesickness, the disturbing desire to be able to go back to my country.



I dedicate this post to R.E.M. band who announced their split a few weeks ago. Actress Kirsten Dunst (wearing Rebecca Taylor 'Black Ghost' cut-out floral dress), and artist/poet/activist John Giorno, star in their final single "We All Go Back To Where We Belong" in two different videos. 

Both music videos were simple and easy, and watching them the whole length warmed my heart. It made me pause for a while at the slave of my mundane routines. Rather than seeing them as sadness, I endure them with their simple glory and to be thankful for every wonder they brought to me. 

It seems like whatever I do I am pretty engaged for more months here until I have my holidays. At once, I temporarily embrace those moments with splendor, having done it almost every day for the past couple of years, I know one day I will go back to where I belong.



Yet, I wanna say happy halloween!

Blog Header

After a couple of ideas, I'm in full swing now so it's time to kick off to change the header background of my blog, i want something that will define my personality. To begin with, I want to show you the accessories I used.


A set of bracelet from Parfois with words love and believe is best accessory for cool casual, I wear it habitually with my usual pair of jeans and white top.
A Kenneth Cole watch is so simple in black, with silver dial-round, design is neat and uncluttered makes a classic statement in any occasion even in the workplace without trying too hard. I indulge myself in this lasting and safe buy.
I decided to combined them all together.


Nevertheless, I wore the bracelet to show style statement in my wrist and adds to the glam quotient if paired with Kenneth Cole watch. I even got a hard time choosing between these two images. But see how I edited the two them and tell me what you think.

The Hidden Fairy



I have always wanted to become a writer and I regret that I failed to pursue my dream. 


I have read and explore a lot of blogs and this inspired me to start my own. It gives me freedom and opportunity to squeeze my own perceptions and interests.


thehiddenfairy... because I could be a really shy and pessimist.
As I embark myself to this journey of blogging, please expect fashion, shopping, lifestyle, travel, movies, music, motherhood, baby, views or could be anything under the sun!

I hope I won't bore you. Of course, any constructive feedback is always welcome! cheers!
