DIY Shredded Tee

Hi all! Long time no see, huh? Okay, soo many things keep distracting me from my blog. The truth is, I never had the right mood to write something here. I should have written more thoughts, though.

So okay, what I recently did is transforming this old boring grey t-shirt

into something cool like this

YEAH! D-I-Y Shredded tee! Woohoo. I did the sleeve with Kat Von D's style while the shredding is Camille's style. Anyway Camille is from Childhood Flames. I adore her clean, classic, simple style. So, here's the step...

What you will need:
- a t-shirt
- scissor
- seam ripper

1. Cut out all the hem

2. Now use your seamripper, or finger, or some pointy tool to pull out a thread from the edge of the hem. You will see when you're pulling it, the thread will loosen. Don't worry when you break some thread. Determine how wide you'd like your panel of shredded part to be. Then pull the next thread and so on until you have loosen a couple threads.

3. When you already have severals threads loosen you can just use your finger to pull the fabric to rip out the rest. It's okay when you break some threads as it is not ought to be tidy. Make some panel until you satisfied.

4. Now for the sleeves. Feel free to cut the sleeves.

5. Then cut them in half.

6. Tie each halves to fit your arm. You might need a little help here. You can even tie two halves at a time or even three.

oops pardon the shadow on the photo.

7. After you tie all the halves you might want to cut out the excess from the tie so it won't dangling around make it looks ugly.

So, here it is once again THE DIY SHREDDED TEE!

Blue Sky Collapse

Blue Sky Collapse
Music and Lyrics by Adhitia Sofyan

As I walk to the end of the line
I wonder if I should look back
To all of the things that were said and done
I think we should talk it over

Then I noticed the sign on your back
It boldly says try to walk away
I go on pretending I'll be ok
This morning it hits me hard that

Still everyday I think about you
I know for a fact that's not your problem
But if you change your mind you'll find me
Hanging on to the place
Where the big blue sky collapse

As I stare at the wall in this room
The cracks they resemble your shadow
When everyday I see time goes by
In my head everything stood still

I'm waiting for things to unfreeze
Til you release me from the ice block
It's been floating for ages washed up by the sea
And it's drowning, thought you should know that

You see people are trying
To find their way back home
So I'll find my way to you

*now I feel like I don't have boyfriend, where are you B?

So Many Things to Tell

1. I fell in love with Adhitia Sofyan's song after I heard Adelaide Sky, one of his song in Raditya Dika's movie, Kambing Jantan. You can download his songs and the lyrics here. And I should say that I expected too much from Kambing Jantan the Movie. It just not as good and not as funny as I thought it will be. Raditya Dika said in his blog that if you laugh at Woody Allen's movie Descontructing Harry then you will laugh at his movie too. He did the movie with Woody Allen style, anyway. But somehow, most Indonesian people are just not that smart, he should realize. And sorry to say, Herfiza Novianti, this is not sinetron ok? Poor acting. Be thankful that you are Raditya Dika's girlfriend. Edric Tjandra is totally funny as usual. Very natural. Brilliant work.

2. I've just watched Sigur Ros' video, Gobbledigook, from Með Suð í Eyrum Við Spilum Endalaust which was out in 2008. This video was made by Arni & Kinski collaborated with photographer Ryan McGinley. I won't put the video here because, rrrr, just watch it. Just find it in Youtube or somewhere else. Okay, so actually the video is beautiful! The nature of Iceland which is oh-so-green and calming combined with tribal beat, and also naked people running and dancing all around showing happiness and freedom. I don't think it's erotic, but still, it's disturbing. That's why I won't put the video here.

3. Tomorrow, there will be Opera Ganesha held at Sasana Budaya Ganesha! Watch me watch me! I'm going to sing with PSM. We will sing 4 songs, Gaudeamus Igitur, Naik Delman, Funiculi Funicula, and Mentari. This is a collosal show. All art and culture student unit will be involved. Purwacaraka also involved as the music director. I expect the show will be magnificent, lustruous, amazing, fantastic, okay I'm being too hysterical, but I'm soooo excited!

4. I met three, THREE handsome guys at the rehearsal. Okay, enough said.

5. I found out that the message board in ITB is full with critiques from students. I must admit what they wrote are right. The Dies Emas celebration was toooo big! ITB is full of decorative stuff which definitely costs A LOT. Is it a show-off? And I regret the fact that ITB put some names who donate 50 billions rupiah on Labtek! What, did they buy ITB? I smelled some commercialism and collution here. I read one of the message "Kalo udah gede mau beli CC ah, biar namanya bisa dipajang," And this is what I write: "Lumayan bisa foto-foto norak. Kapan lagi coba Dies Emas?" anyway, Happy 50th Birthday, ITB!
