Hey guys, i move my blogs to blogpost and from now on will updating there.
I reconsidered of making it 2 different blogs to divide my posts more easily.

the daily blog about my life would be under the name imajinasimaginatia

and the blog under my “salvadorkatz” name will be mainly just for my works and painting

thanks for reading until now,

see you there!

drama : valentine’s two thousand and eleven.

09 : 00 AM.

Log into the Facebook and Twitter account ;

Many of my friends said Happy Valentine in their status ( until you get sick of reading them ).
Celebrate it with their loved ones, bragging about where they want to celebrate it.
Get surprise from their partner, flowers, chocolates.

Some cursed Valentine’s day ( probably because they don’t have partners? XD ).
Other complaining why it’s not holiday today ( because today it’s stuck between 2 holiday ).

Some change their status into “relationship”, “engaged”, or “married”, either by purpose or not ( uhm…looking for attention probably? )

Some change their status into “single”. broken hearted on their status.

One lost his sweetheart by accident, and have to buried his loved one today…

23 : 00

Log off.

hello lil’ fruits.

lil’ edamame wanna search for some place to climb on everyday, maybe we should get a pole or something for it. I wonder how big it will be? well, actually we can find it in the google or some expert site to know more, but for me it’s more fun to see it grow and get a surprise everyday.

Little edamame now have 2 more friends to share the sunshine, it’s lil’ strawberry and kiwi : )

grow fast lil’ ones…

dance with nature.

It’s almost 2-3 weeks that our edamame planted in the office. Everyday when i water it i see it grow more stem and new leaves, reaching for the sunlight, tangled to each other almost like dancing. Really wonderful how nature can be

The plant have a tiny furry surface on the stem…really cute >w<

lost in translation.

Language can be a bit problems for us when we have to meet people with different nation. I just know english currently, and have lost in translation couple times, even with a normal english native speaker… XD

well i guess you have to use it a lot for mastering it, not just learning it by book.

*note : I don’t know why, i’m not that interested in learning chinese language, even though i’m chinese descendant :p

my co-worker, Lice, might be a good teacher for this language…this are some of her teaching today in the office wall… XD

And not so long ago, I found some “strange” installation at the mall, quite interesting though…

hey, you wanna cook in the wall??? XD

our little boss.

It’s been a year we have a little ( literally ) boss in our office…I introduce you guys, Leica the long-haired-daschund

“Hello there, I am Leica! nice to meet you…please don’t stare too long or else i will lick you.”

“So, my job here is to watch my pupils here so they get work nicely, sometimes help them also with the work, too bad they didn’t made a dog-user-friendly-mac, get kinda hard with paws you know…”

“Hey, we need to add some more dog-treats later here, we run out of it…and maybe some fire-hydrant in the corner of the room, hey you! don’t slack off in work!”

“aye-aye sir!!!”

“At my past time, i love reading books and magazines, they have lotsa pretty and sexy girl-dogs in the magazine…whoopsie…I mean i love to read about how-to-be-a-stylish-canine magazine”

“Hey are you trying to bribe your own boss with this? so u can slack off, ooohh no you don’t you can’t bribe me dear…but wait…is that a french fries??? uhh-oooh…i love fries, maybe i can get a tiny-weenie-bit of it pleas? i can consider it though…”

“All of this work kinda tiring, i think i will take a short nap, it’s hard you know to be a good worker…”

“guys, wake me up when it’s time for dinner ‘kay…don’t wake me up before that…or else i will cut your salary…zzzzzz..z.zz….”

It’s my Mac’s wallpaper recently, and, yeah, it’s Alexander Rybak picture XD

My latest addiction, somehow i can’t get his songs out of my mind, especially the fairytale song that grab the first place for Eurovision contest last year. I just notice him a couple week ago when browsing over the youtube site, and the rest is history.

I get addicted to him.

Here’s the fairytale song that he played last year,

ahoy matey!

AHhhhhhh finally i’ve got them finished!

but for now, not for Zoro, i haven’t make his katana yet…XD

I already figure out how to make the katana with felt fabric, thanks to my friend on DA ( Deviant art )…

oh, I recently got active again there…coz i think it would be nice if i have some place to showcasing my artworks  there…it’s lovely to have new friends and meet awesome artists there…We can learn many from them…

*All of the accesories they have are removable…really painful work but it turn out good, that, I can change the clothes everytime i got bored with it XD*

More Zosan stuff.

Finally finished the Zoro and Sanji plushie! minus Zoro katana sadly, I wanna make it with paperclay later…and I didn’t find any felt fabric that have the exact colour as Zoro’s hair…well gonna do with this I think : (

and now in progress for making Nami : 3

A couple weeks ago, I bought Zoro and Sanji strap, and put it on my mobile phones, and somehow I saw this…and made a gag from it XD

And finally, my Poupee of the day…I love the background and the princess theme dress XD

This week I’ve got  a holiday for 5 days because of religious moslem day…enough for making me bored somehow XD

Got many things to do though…gonna make it one by one….

First, I’ve got new “babies at home” that you can see it here. A cute lil’ bunny and a couple of “monkeycups”  ( not a real monkey…its a pitcher plant nickname : 3 )

Drop by to my “evil twin bro” site…He is my partner in crime…LOL

plushie-o-rama.

Hello everyone,

Back again with me here…still with the new addiction things every week :p

And for today’s addiction, i mean this week are plushies and other clay thingy.

What is plushie you say?

“A stuffed toy is a toy sewn from cloth, plush, or other textiles, and stuffed with straw, beans, plastic pellets, cotton, synthetic fibers, or other similar materials. Stuffed toys are also known as plush toys (U.S. English) from plush, the outer material used, and soft toys or cuddly toys (British English). They are made in many different forms, often resembling animals, legendary creatures, cartoon characters or inanimate objects.

Some stuffed animals are very old – home made cloth dolls stuffed with straw go back to at least the 1830s, perhaps much older. The most well known type of stuffed toy is likely the teddy bear. They are often used as comfort objects.” ( taken from wikipedia.com )

To be honest, buying plushies are the second expensive hobby beside collecting action figures. Many times i wanna buy anime character plushies, but didn’t do it coz for me the cost was not acceptable. So, I think of why didn’t I make it myself? many peoples do this and they even do it better than the factory made! and the good thing is you can customize it anyway you like.

ok, there must be a bad things rite?

the bad things are, if you didn’t know how to DO it….I mean, you have at least know how to sew, how to make pattern, how to make plushie’s basic, etc. Plus…if you’re not patient enough…you’ll ruin everything you made XD

Back to the hand made thingy…

I finally push myself for doing this, coz I think it’s worth a try…with trial and error, and lots of *ouch* things ( damn the needle! ) finally i made some of them…some are original, some are anime character…

This is my first plushie, the gothic rabbit.I made the stitches rough so it looks like frankenstein rabbit…

All features like eyes, mouth, nose are pure stitches. I didn’t like using glue in my project ; )

I did Hiruma Yoichi fan art from Eyeshield 21. This plushie never finished coz i use trial and error technique…so I did many wrong pattern >_<

And the hair took so long to make ( coz i made it one by one ), but I love the final result though : )

My original character, this plushie reflecting myself. when I made this, I really have a bright red hair like this, and having a red contact lense. I love gothic things, so dark and red is my color here.

This time I really have a progress, and minimize the error things.

This is the new plushie I make. It’s Sanji from One Piece.

Ok for now it’s not done yet, he still naked here…LOL…

This time, I already search all over the internet for pattern and technique. I feel this time I really make a high progress for doing this plushie things.

For now I can make the wearable things can be unattach yay!I’m so happy…altough, uhmmm…there some mistakes too XD

I wanna make all the Strawhat crew plushie, but I don’t think I can…we’ll see…

Next : we’ll be Zoro plushie…hope can be done neatly XD

until next time…!

fandom kills me ( my wallet ).

Let get this straight… ^^;

“Fandom (from the noun fan and the affix -dom, as in kingdom, freedom, etc.) is a term used to refer to a subculture composed of fans characterized by a feeling of sympathy and camaraderie with others who share a common interest.”

( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fandom )

I know for long ago that collecting everything about this fandom things could break your heart…and kill you in an instant ( literally )…by any means, it’s ripping off your wallet really fast…for me, this is an expensive hobby! but thanks to my passion to anime/manga…I fell for this one…really…

In fact, I ever mentioned to myself that i don’t want to collecting any of anime/manga figures coz its not worth it…expensive price and voila! you only got some tiny figure ( sometimes really tiny ) that only you and other otaku understand the beautiful of the figures…sometimes lack of detail and art ( for me )

take a look at this one for example, its MacFarlane’s dragons figure that I bought many, many years ago for a price of Rp.350,000,- ( about $35 )

But it has a lot of details, big figures ( about 20 – 30 cm tall ), it looks real, great color…its worth of the price for me…

The other sample of anime figures ( that actually not worth it…but ironically, i bought it too ~__~ ) of Ace&Luffy Grandline men series, with only 15cm tall… ( still preorder, i borrowed this from internet, i’ll switch it when my package come ) that cost about $50 for both of them, ouch! just compare it with the dragon one, and i think you’ll understand what i means…

And if you ask me why i still bought this figures…it’s because I love Ace & Luffy…as simple as that!

Maybe this what calls a hobby rite? collectors stuffz…and when you admire one character that you love, you wanna own it too ( literally )…

so….I think i’m beginning to understand why some peoples really into action figures…altough sometimes may not seems worth the price…

there goes my empty wallet for this one, especially for One Piece figures for now that I collect….and I think the number of the figures will grow eventually…LOL XD

Here are some of my collection of figures, you can see it here in my gallery…

For the next one, i’m going to buy Thousand Sunny ship!… : )

But really….If I think it again….

Why I bought this stuff for…I wonder… ~___~

Jogjakarta.

Finally got back to Jakarta after 5 days travelling to Jogjakarta – Solo with my office team, Edward Suhadi photography : )

Here some of our picture : )

At Taman Sari – Jogja ( Taman Sari or Water castle,  is a bathing place for the King and Princesses )

the second picture  is a mosque build with an underwater passage below the manmade lake. It’s non functional now thought because the lake has been drained.

We divide our group into 3 teams, and having a small photo contest competition. Our team name is “Wow, mantap!” ( means, Wow cool! )

One of the competition theme is “unity of the team or cohesive team”, and with this one we came as the winner of the competition :p

At Grojogan Sewu – Solo ( Grojogan means waterfall )

But still some of my soul attached in there, being soo tipsy and always sleepy here…like, hey! i still wanna go dreaming don’t wake me up from this dream,LOL!

Yeah, Jogja is a beautiful city,i love it so much despite 3-4 times I go there, and still wanna go again. It’s a city that resembles Bali in the mystical way, and traditional way…

Not gonna spoiled about Jogja here, you can see it on the internet about it :p

But i’m pretty happy with this trip…good company ( my teammate ), good food ( we always eat everytime there…. ), good place…everything!

I think i’m beginning to love travelling…to the place that not many people go…

Some people say that traveling is wasting money,

but hey! we only lives once! why should bother?

We don’t know when we die rite? it could be tomorrow, now, 1 hour from now, who knows?

Next plan is going to Ambon, hope I can go this December…

I can’t wait!

quote of the day.

For today, a qoutes from me…inspired by One Piece : )

*btw i’ve got a cool site for looking quotes over the world, check this site here.

“I may be an idiot,

but i will never throw away my imaginations and my dreams!

I may be stupid,

but i’ll never be an adult who forget my inner child dreams! F*ck off you who said to be an adult have to be forgetting all your inner child’s dream!

my favorite quotes from the manga :

Monkey D. Luffy:

> “I’ve set myself to become the King of the Pirates… and if I die trying… then at least I tried!”

> “DYING IS NOT REPAYING A DEBT!!! THAT’S NOT WHAT HE SAVED YOU FOR!!! ONLY WEAK MEN WOULD DIE AFTER SOMEONE SPARED THEIR LIVES!!!- talking to Sanji

> “Of course I don’t know anything about swords, you moron! I can’t navigate! I can’t cook! I can’t even lie! I know I need friends to help me if I want to get ahead in life!“

>” That’s no good! If I stay like this…If strong guys like this are going to appear once again on our road, if I don’t get stronger…I won’t be able to protect my crew…That’s because even if they aren’t strong, I have dear friends that I want to keep with me…If I don’t get stronger than anyone else, I’ll lose them all!

I thought about a way to fight at my fullest.So that I don’t lose anyone…So that I don’t let anyone drift away…”

Shanks :

> “Listen up… You can pour drinks on me, you can throw food at me… You can even spit on me. I’ll just laugh that stuff off. But… Good reason or not… Nobody hurts a friend of mine!!!”

Bon Clay:

> “One may stray from the path of a man, one may stray from the path of a woman, but there is no straying from the path of a HUMAN! All friends must scatter into the sky of truth, and blossom!”

gomennnnn XD

This one is from my other bro’ at Subang, Adhe…he bought this unique lamp from Pangandaran beach.

This is the sweet present really, coz i don’t know what he bought for me ( it’s a surprise ).

When it came to my office, the packaging is very odd and scary, it’s kinda like a wood box contain dangerous things, LOL! and the box inside is very strange too, coz its assymetric ( and yes, he told me that he made himself the box :p )…but aside this, i really surprise w/ the gift…i love it so much…i’m really touched with this one XD

Quote for today.

It’s raining heavy here in Jakarta, and im getting gloomy here…lol…i’ll post another later, for now i have a very nice quote for all of yoou : )

“You can’t decide the length of life, but you can control how you want to live it.

You can’t control the weather, but you can control your mood.

You can’t change your look, but you can smile.

You can’t control others, but you can control yourself.

You can’t foresee tomorrow, but you can utilize today wisely.

You can’t win everything, but you can try your very best to achieve that.

Hope everyone can face the daily life positively and always happy….”

play hard, work hard.

Hello guys,

This week i’m beginning to have a “monotone” feeling with my facebook  and so i decide to open my mass add friends again on my facebook…and start playing passive games again…

ex. like the vampire wars that keep me addicted for now…( i love the gothic style u know :p ) the avatar mode custom is very interesting here, and my avatar look like this. I called her Galatea, the red lady  : )

By salvadorkatz at 2009-05-26 ( Galatea, the red lady )
 

For a while ago, i didn’t play my dragon wars anymore coz its really boring.Why? because it has no new updates or anything…they only updates mafia and vampire wars…( maybe it’s because so many play this games?? )

I try the farm town game too, and find that the little fat pig was so cute ( and resemble someone…lol…), and the game resemble a bit like harvest moon games, but different of course. Actually i don’t like the avatar design for this game, except the pig :p
