Thank you so much for those who wished me Happy Birthday. I really appreciate it. You guys rock. :)

So I had a very nice birthday dinner and party with my awesome friends. Thanks for the awesome time, guys.
Here are a couple of photos from the party:

This Spring semester has been super intense for me. Taking more classes that usual and getting more gigs than before too; which is very good tho a bit overwhelming sometimes. So spring break is coming up. I just can't wait to get away from the stress of school and work.

Me and a couple of good friends have been talking about going on a trip to Grand Canyon and Utah for this spring break. I was excited, but I wasn't super excited since I wasn't completely sure what I'm going to photograph. After researching on the possible sites to visit, I came across a few photos from Arizona that I bookmarked long time ago. I remember right away that this is what I've been wanting to photograph since I saw the pictures. btw, those pictures are of from Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. I know Antelope Canyon is a little bit overdone, but I just can't resist the beauty of it. It is just breathtaking for me. So, you can say it's overdone; I would not care. I'm now really looking forward for this trip more than ever; in another word(s): super excited! :)

Unfortunately we will only have less than a week, so after (sort of) planning the trip, we decided to eliminate Grand Canyon and just go to Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend, Monument Valley and stopping by Las Vegas on the way back. I hate to cross Grand Canyon out, but I think we got a lot on our plate already, so that's okay. I hope I'll get back with a few awesome shots. :)

My day today started with a trip to the dentist and followed by a tour around Art Center College of Design. I plan to transfer to the college in about a year. Art Center Pasadena is the world's top design school. They have excellent graphic design program. Even before the tour, I knew that the school life there is tough, but the tour definitely convinced me even more so. This will be challenging, but hey, challenging life is way better than boring life.

Another program they offer that wowed me was their Transportation Design program. Their student's portfolio is just awesome. It made me really interested in that program before I went back to the reality of my lack of drawing skill. I actually just read this:"...over half of the world's automotive designers graduated from Pasadena's Art Center College of Design". How neat is that?

Rain has been pouring very heavy for a few days in my hometown Jakarta, Indonesia. Our house in Jakarta is flooded up the waist at this moment. The flooding has killed at least 5 people and has left over 100,000 people homeless. My mum is home with our maid , our dog Brownie and 2 puppies. My dad just got back in Jakarta from a business trip this morning. But he couldn't get home due to the flood, so he is staying in the airport. Please send good energy to them and everybody who's effected by the flood. Thank you.

Just a few hours after I post the last post, it got even colder here. When I came home in the evening, I saw in the news that Malibu was covered in snow. That is so cool. I hate cold, I really do, but when it's really cold I think the only good news would be snow. And that's what happened in Malibu. Too bad I missed it.

And now, two days later, it's almost 75 F out there. It's even too hot to wear a sweater. Isn't 40 to 75 a little too big of a jump in only 48 hours? This is bizarre.
