Semi Permanent - Frankie Magazine


Frankie Magazine is one of Australias most popular magazines. Founded by Louise Bannister and creative director Lara Burke, Frankie combines interesting articles, beautiful photography and creative artwork to make a cross between a fashion and art magazine that speaks to a wide audience. It's a magazine targeted at women that even your average male hipster is not ashamed to read. - Semi Permanent-


I am not regret to spent my money to come this year semi permanent. Especially the first day and the first program was about Frankie magazine. I knew Frankie Magazine from one of my friend. She is a big fan of this magazine.

What I can learn from Frankie Magazines are the topic and designs they are putting. It is not same as the other fashion magazines. This magazine present them self in a different way. That is how I think., because it is not showing how female always be feminine, but sometimes females can be just simple. I can see how they putting the layout and all the photography taken in the creative and interesting way.




I was so impress with the presentation by Louise Bannister who showed me all the progress of Frankie Magazines and they history lines.

Before she finished the talk, she let her photographer who work for them about 3.5 years with her all concept and it was really cool.

After that, Louise end the talked, and she said, " It may have done by people, but it has not done by you." And I took my book and quickly write it down. It was something that I wan to hear and I can do for my future.

In my belief in design there always a copy right thing that I have to run away. So usually I spent to much time to think of a concept and try to create something new. It is good I know, but it just waste lot of time when I have never try other design. So, start now, I have more freedom to design.

About my mom..


I always proud of my mom. She always be my admire person in the world. She can cook and tidy up the house so clean in the same time. When she did business helping my father. She took care of my papa until the time he gone. She can cooked really delicious foods, cakes and cookies, and also prepare any kind of party. When I am little she cut my hair. And she pretty too. She can make up really pretty. She is smart with money and taught me when I am small. And she keep some money from my papa to let us continue studies overseas. When it is tough for her as well. She want us to be smart and have a really good future in career.

But there is something as we know. Nothing is perfect. She had an accident when she small. So she can't continue study. And then she has a tough life too with my grandma. When married with my papa, she has a bad attitude from the in laws. Until 1 day my papa changed and treat my mom better.

When she started get happier. She started sick. Until now she has 9 times operations. And because all of the operation she changed. Her temper and emotion is easy down. But, she care about us. Cook for us, pray for us, worry about us. Thanks Mom..

Haruki Murakami

Today I read my friend put this link in face book http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes. And then I have click it and read around. I like some of the quotes.

Such as,

"Memories are what warm you up from the inside. But they're also what tear you apart." — Haruki Murakami (Kafka on the Shore)

or

"Don't feel sorry for yourself. Only assholes do that." — Haruki Murakami (Norwegian Wood)

But I like this one the most is,

"Time weighs down on you like an old, ambiguous dream. You keep on moving, trying to sleep through it. But even if you go to the ends of the earth, you won't be able to escape it. Still, you have to go there- to the edge of the world. There's something you can't do unless you get there." —
Haruki Murakami

It's giving me the strength to be strong and not to give up. To much problem coming even though it is just the beginning of the year. My mom told me it's tiger year, supposedly, it will be better for ox people like me who has a bad year last year. I lost my father and I get dump from my x-bf . who I found out cheat on me. What ever, life move on and I won't ever give up. But I wish everyone happy, I wish I am happy too.. I know I have a big dream to fill my life. I won't stop dreaming until it is the time to give up. I am just 25 and still young.. Cheers..

I feel great that I am not miss this one..


Today and a few after all the conflicts. I am glad that Sovy my lovely older sister, took us 1 family for a movie.

I forgot about this movie. I even do not really know what I am going to watch. What I know is after work, I will go watch Sandra Bullock latest movie.

This movie is really nice. As I mention yesterday. Miracle happen. Some people are lucky some are not. Eventually this story comes by true story.

I love this movie. I really like it. I laugh and sad for 2 hours and I just admire my Sandra Bullock.

Love can't be compare with other people life..

I do understand life is hard. But It can be easy too if you want to make it easy. Just try keep to think positive and everything will be alright.

I saw lots of people having bad experiences. Some of them having big pressure, some of them are become crazy, or some of them sayonara, means died.

For me, Graphic design is about dreams, that I can make everything happen on it. When it goes to reality, dreams is impossible and hard most of the time.

But, after watched so many movies and hear about other people lives maybe nothing is actually really impossible or hard.

For example,



( A great movie that a bit strange but I get the meaning. It is a movie of love. But I took it as everyone has life. Some of them similar, some of them different. But, there is sadness or happiness in any kind. Well I take it life come with luck.. )


When I really love this movie,


( Bridget Jones, ohh.. I feel it is a miracle movie. Not saying that how bad is the story about the girl. But how lovely this story about. The 1st or even 2nd movie. I know that anything can be happen, just enjoy it, be sad, be happy, be.. YOURSELF i guess... )


There is a new movie for 2010 Valentine that I haven't watch it yet. Even though, I am single in this 2010 I want to go and see it. Because, I always support love. It makes lots of stories to hear. I hope this movie will be great. Because I love, love stories movie...




So, for all the people who in love be happy, I am not jealous, but I am glad. I just had my broken heart. I understand little bit about love..
