A lot of people ask me why I rarely wrote about myself in my blog. I always tell them "I am too shy", but honestly I guess I am too embarrass. My life have nothing to be proud of, I never really finish doing something and make it successful. I have a lot of dreams don't get me wrong even too much and too big, but I guess my circumstances is not the easiest and make me have to move a lot.
If there is an expression that 'life is like a roller costar, you never know what comes next", then I would say my live exactly like that. It is not just a Cliché for me. First of all I've lived in 12 different cities around the globe. People might say what an adventure, but honestly in certain point it is trying. From Surabaya - Indonesia to Erlangen - Germany, Seattle- USA, Columbus - USA, Manchester - UK, Jersey Island (God knows where), Budapest - Hungary, Bali - Indonesia, Jakarta - Indonesia, Singapore, London - UK, Madrid - Spain. Not only moving, I did so many different fields all over the places. From being a student in Aeronautics and Astronautics Engineering at The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA, to become an MA sociologist specialize in education and economic development from University of Manchester, Manchester, UK. Then working in a political affiliated NGO in Jakarta, dreamed to be a politician, lecturer and sociologist, and end up being an operation manager for UK brand fashion retail, after a script writer for independent series in Madrid and now a fashion stylist and designer. And funny enough I can't even draw. I am not sure if I really choose this path as it's all somehow come together by default. I figured out that life is not always as I wanted, my circumstances always change in a blink of eye and sometimes I can't control it. So I just try to think what can do to make myself useful and make the best of it at that moment.
People often say "you are lucky that you don't have to do anything and you are fine." Ahhh yeah the lucky word. I would say, this world not created from luck plus I don't like to do nothing and be fine. I would like to do something! I love doing things; I love science, politics, sociology and I also love story telling, writing, fashion styling and designing clothes. Bottom line I want to be someone to do something or to make something. I believe life is too sort to waste all the time and talent that God has given for nothing. That's where I come up with 'Flying Feather Project'.
What is 'Flying Feather Project'?
It's not like moving a mountain or get rid of poverty in Indonesia. It's a small fashion

styling project that I am passionate about which still allow me to see a smile in people's face. At first it was just a random and spontaneous idea in the middle of Madrid to photo shoot my work in styling people. Then after the first photo session, I got a good reaction from my friends and people around me. And lots of girls eager to be the model. I see how happy they are to get pampered, being stylist and photograph. Thus make me happy too. So from originally only 2 girls I planed to style and photograph, it became 9, 10 and even more.
On the process I met a lot of amazing girls/women, they are not only beautiful outside but most importantly from inside. And it really shine through. I really impressed and personally learned a lot from them. I figured out the need to tell the world how great these women are. May be not too bluntly for privacy reason, but enough spill. From a quite, grounded girl from Belgium who turn out has the biggest talent, to the most beautiful and sexy girl from USA who turn out still holding her principal even the world shifted to the worse and not mention a beautiful fierce girl from Canada who know exactly who she is and comfortable with her own skin while many other busy being skinny and dwelling with their insecurity. I can mention it for 10 pages how beautiful they are in their own way. All those came together in my mind and rounded as Flying Feather Project.
Beautiful as Flying Feather Project portray is not about the skinniest women or the most tan or the biggest boobs, it's about what inside you. So Flying Feather Project try to convey the value of beauty inside and out while busting up women's confidence from the way they clothes themselves. It's being stylist yet poise about your body, signify your personality, and most importantly keep true to yourself.
Time flies and Flying Feather project reach its 1 year anniversary. Actually as per today it's been 15 months from the first time it started. I am so much blessed with all the support and the good reaction from people surround me and people who keep reading this blog. Without all your support today wouldn't happen, which make Flying Feather grow in unexpected direction as we establish our own clothing line. So only one word i can say to all of you,THANK YOU! Xx
