Clemency Who?

I already posted 10 posts and I just realized that I haven't introduce myself properly.

So here I am...

My name's Ratu Clemency Charissa Tunggono.

I'm a 21 years old girl. Not a lady. Not a woman yet. 

I prefer to stay young by considering that I'm still young. 21 is young, rite?  

I have a long not-so-black messy hair. Average face. Average height. Average weight.

I have "RATU" as my title name. Yap, my ancestor was a Bantenese. 

But my other ancestor is British. The other is Chinese. 

Let's just conclude that I am Indonesian.   

I was born in a big city (Jakarta of course) but raised in a smaller city (yes, Bandung it is) and currently I live in that big city again but my home is still in that smaller city. 

I'm studying interior design at one of known universities in Jakarta. 

Many people asked me which city I prefer to live in. I never had a certain answer. 

I love Jakarta. But I also love Bandung. Both is okay for me. 

I have a lovely family. My mom, sister, and brother and I are very close. 

My dad? He's just passed away last month. 

I love him as much as I love my entire family and I'm still missing him so much.

My family is my biggest inspiration for me. Oh, I forget one thing. I'm the youngest in the family.

I love art. I love design. I love fashion. 

I love everything creative. 

Some friends said that I'm creative (thanks)

Some friends said that I'm stylish (thanks again) 

but I'm not a shopaholic, not even a great money spender. 

I spend my money carefully. I only buy things I really need and like.

I love gadgets. Who don't?

I love my macbook, blackberry, ipod, and my camera. 

I like to ride a bike. 

I ride my bike to campus sometimes.  

As a designer, I required to love colors.

I love lime and olive green, aqua blue, turqoise, fuchsia, brown, and grey.

Yes, I love eccentric colors and neutral colors at the same time. 

I like to watch tv. International channel only. 

I like to watch Flight of the Conchords. 

I think they're funny. 

I like music.

I like Feist and The Kings of Convenience (btw, I'll watch their concert on March!!)

I like to sing.

I don't really like reading.

But I don't hate it.

I'd love to have a quality time with my family and friends.

Hangout at a coffeeshop with them is my favorite activity. 

But I don't mind hangout alone. I like to go to the mall alone.

Bookstore is always my first destination.

Have I told you that I don't really like reading?

Well I just like bookstore. Especially Aksara Bookstore.

Sounds a little bit lonely, rite?

But it's fun. You gotta try sometimes!

Ooh.. Too much about me..

I think this is enough to describe myself. 

Just ask anything you're curious about if you're willing to.

One thing for sure, I love myself just the I way I am.

Now I'm officially introduced!

Top 5 Movies

These are my top 5 favorite movies.

They are not ordinary movies.

I just love them.

A love story between an American girl with a Cuban boy 

who met when her family had to move to Cuba for her father's work. 

They became partners for a dancing competition by combining a classic ballroom dance 

with wild and sexy Cuban dance. 

A sexy exotic romantic movie. Love Diego Luna so much!

A quirky story about a man trying to get over his ex. 

But no matter how hard he tried, he can't stop remembering his love.

A lil' bit boring at the begining but over all it's a very interesting and not ordinary story.

A French action comedy movie. It's a story about a police chasing after a criminal he hates so much.

The chasing is located at Paris and one day the city became empty, 

nobody there, except two of them.

A very nice unusual comedy movie. Seriously, I laughed from the begining till the end of the movie.

This is a story about two friends. One is a video rental shopkeeper (Mike) and the other (Jerry) always mess with anything he touches. One day Jerry being magnetized and ruined every single video the rent had. So they tried to get back the bussiness by making their own video.

FYI: Michel Gondry is also the director of Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mind.

A very creative yet refreshing movie. Highly recommended!

Yes, this is not an ordinary love story. This is a story about a-not-ordinary love.

You'll love the movie. You'll love Summer. 

Turkey Sightseeing

Have you ever been to Turkey??

Yap, a Mediterranean country located in both Asia and Europe seperated by Sea of Marmara and the Turkish Strait 

If your answer is no, so is mine.. 

But I have some interesting pictures given from my aunt who traveled to Turkey months ago.

Since I've got permission from the owner, I think it's legal to publish other's photos on my blog.

Enjoy!

Sky of Antalya

See the blue sky?? What do you think? I think it's really gorgeous!

Beyaz-Cennet, Pamukkale

It's not an ice mountain, it's a mountain of chalk

Beyaz-Cennet, Pamukkale

My Aunt posed with ducks behind her

Goreme - Cappadocia

That's one of earlier churches just like said in the Holy Bible.

There are hundreds of churches like this one in Cappadocia.

I've never imagined that the earlier churches built in a giant stone like this, have you?

Hills of stone in Cappadocia

A ferry at the harbour of Bosphorus

Buildings beside the Bosphorus Strait

The one on the left below is a mosque, I don't think we can find one in Indonesia! 

Turkey People 

Clockwise: a Turkey woman weaving rug (Turkey famous for it's rug); a saleswoman on a road side; 

a man selling ice cream (with coca cola logos behind him); the making of ceramic plate (Turkey also famous for it's ceramic, see, the pattern's so beatiful)

Above: Seagulls flying above the Bosphorus Strait

Below: A seagull having breakfast

A Mosque I don't know it's name

Above: Four Season Hotel Istanbul, at the Bosphorus Strait side

Created from a century-old neoclassic Turkish prison in the core of this city. It only contained 65 guest rooms and suites frame an open courtyard

Below: The hotel's park

The Bosphorus Bridge, also called the First Bosphorus Bridge (Turkish: Boğaziçi Köprüsü or 1. Boğaziçi Köprüsü --> how do we spell it???) is one of the two bridges in Istanbul, Turkey (the other one is the Faith Sultan Mehmet Bridge, which is called the Second Bosphorus Bridge). This bridge is spanning the Bosphorus Strait and connecting Europe and Asia

The nearly sunset atomosphere

A beautiful Byzantine mosque. They have a typical shape, a few square buildings combined with rounded domes with sharp-pointed towers on the four sides of the building    

One of the domes in Hagia Sophia mosque. It was the largest cathedral in the world for thousand years before it turned into a mosque, and now a museum. Although all of the Catholic elements were removed when they converted it into a mosque, we still can find a picture of St. Mary's figure carrying Baby Jesus at the dome.   

A group of soldier walking after their changing shift in Attaturk Mausoleum

One of coffins we can find in the mausoleum. 

Aren't the naked human sculptures looks scary??

A beautiful garden around the mausoleum

FYI:

Anıtkabir (literally, "memorial tomb") is the mausoleum of Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, the leader of the Turkish War of Independence and the founder and first president of the Republic of Turkey.

A sculpture of St. Mary, mother of Jesus. It's located at Ephesus. 

It's built right at the area where the latest house of Mary's found.

She lived here for the rest of her life after John took her here.

Nike Goddess Sculpture at Ephesus

Yup, it's Nike, like Nike the famous sport stuff brand. It's logo is take from the shape of her wing. In Greek ancient history, NIKE (or Nicé) was the winged goddess or spirit (daimon) of victory, both in battle and peaceful competition. No wonder why Nike use it's name for it's brand, so the user can reach victory of the sport competition. Well it's just my opinion..

The ancient toilets with my aunt above it at The City of Troy.

Eww... @___@

It looks like a lake but it actually was not. 

It was a very large area (I don't know how large) which intended to be a place for gypsy people to gather.

But one day the area suddenly dropped about 9 meters and filled with rain and, voila! 

The area turned into a lake until now

How was your "trip"? I hope it's useful for you.

Sorry I can't give you higher resolution. This is the best I can get.

See you on the next trip!!

Sorry Guys!

Trust me, I have so much in my mind and my draft to share

An Evening at West Jakarta

This is the view from my apartment's balcony around 6.18 pm.. We cannot see it everyday, so I took a shot or two.. It's not bad is it?

Books I Haven't Finished Yet and Why I Even Bought Them

What is Product Design - Laura Slack

I bought it like a year ago and I haven't even read it yet.

I bought it because I'm an interior design student with a passion for product design.

How The World Makes Love - Franz Wisner

I bought it about a half year ago and I had only read the 1/3 of the book because it has blank pages so I lost my reading appetite. But don't worry, I'm gonna finish it A.S.A.P!

I bought it because I already read the first book: "Honeymoon With My Brother" and fell in love with the story so I thought the second will be as good as the first.

Chicken Soup for the Couple Soul - Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, and friends

The book given to me a month ago and I had only read a couple of stories. 

I didn't bought it. This is a birthday present from a friend with a note: " I gave this to you because I think you've found your Mr.Right". She gave it just in time that I think I chose the wrong guy. LOL

Young on Top - Billy Boen

I just bought it yesterday so I don't feel guilty not finishing it yet.. 

I'm already interested to buy this book from a long time ago but it never happened. I don't know why I finally bought it yesteday. I think it's good for my self improvement.

Eat Pray Love - Elizabeth Gilbert

I bought it yesterday too.

I bought it because, first, I'm interested to it's cover, second, it has a story about Indonesia (and Italy and India, all country started with "I"), and third, it's a bestseller book and it seems like a good book for my mind to consume.

And one more book that I left in Bandung so it doesn't appear in the picture (picture pending),

Wastu Citra - Y.B. Mangunwijaya

My father bought me this book the last time we went to Gramedia-MTA, around October last year maybe.

I asked him to bought me this book because I'm interested in architecture history and it's written by Romo Mangun, one of Indonesian best architect, social worker, and Indonesian Catholic church legend.
