Introducing Me.

안 녕 하 세 요 (Annyounghasehyo)! My name is Felicia. You can call me Felly and welcome to my blog!
I am a newbie in this blogging thing. Well, I made this blog approximately a year ago and it is because my IT teacher, Mr Martinez told me to made one. I re-open this blog because of the same reason. My IT lesson project is to made a blog. Well, because I already have one that I made last year, I decided to use this blog again. So, here i am, writing in my blog in computer class hoping that I finished the project soon. English is not my first language, Indonesian language is. Therefore, if there are any grammatical error or couple of mistakes, please forgive me :)
I am the first of three child. I have a loving parents and a lovely sister. I am 16 years old, and i'm gonna turn 17 on October 24. I went to Cita Hati Senior High School in Surabaya, Indonesia. So, in this posting, I will tell you a little bit more about myself. I am 5 feet (153 cm) tall with a 46 kg body weight. I have small eyes with no eyelids and a round face. My hair color is brownish black. I use contact lenses everyday, simply because I don't like wearing glasses. Besides, I always wear a contact lens that make my eyes bigger.
I love Mathematics. Mathematics is probably one of my favorite subject at school. In case you are curious why i love math, it is because i always find mathematics as an interesting subject. I always find myself working at my best when it comes to Math. I did pretty well in English class. My grammar is pretty bad, but when it comes to speaking or writing, i enjoy every bit of it. I am not good in social class, especially something dealing with history or geography. It always confuses me, besides, i have to remember everything in that subject. I am not good in remembering things.
I am a spontaneous, cheerful, and a fun person to be friends with! I am a Sanguine-Melancholic person. I like to speak loudly and hug my best pals. But, I am a very sensitive person. I have pretty good friends, both from IB and Nationals. Well, in case you want to know, Cita Hati has an IB or International Baccalaureate program. Which means, everything is in English. I used to be in IB program, But I moved to National last year.
Fashion is my passion. I love to dress up to express myself. My style describes my mood yet my personality. Well, for me good looks is equal to good mood. I adore French and Korean language. My goals in life is someday, I could speak 5 languages, including French and Korean. I can speak Indonesian, English, and a little bit of Mandarin. I love to spend my time with watching TV shows, listening to some upbeat music, reading novels, and of course who wouldn't love shopping. I am a very talkative person. My goals in life is to be happy and to make everyone happy. But right now, the first goal I want to accomplish is to make my parents proud of me. Well, there are more things that I love that I want to share with all of you. So, keep reading my blog! :)
See you soon in the next posting people, au revoir!

Hollywood Is Like High School With Money by Zoey Dean

I was so excited to read this book because I really enjoyed Zoey Dean’s How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls (adapted into TV show Privileged) and her A-List series. After seeing the adorable cover of this novel, I knew it would be right up my alley. I definitely wasn’t wrong.

Hollywood Is Like High School With Money tells the story of Taylor Henning, a film school graduate from the East who moves to LA to hopefully make it big. She lands her dream job working as an assistant at a major Hollywood movie studio.

Taylor gets to work on her first day and finds out that not only will she not be reading scripts or making movies, but that she is in charge of making her boss Iris’s smoothies. The life of a second assistant is definitely not glamorous and Taylor’s co-worker and rival Kylie doesn’t exactly help to make Taylor feel welcome.

Taylor needs a plan. She enlists the help of Iris’s teenage daughter Quinn to teach her the ways of Hollywood and power. Taylor and Quinn make a deal that Quinn will help her out, but Taylor owes her one….with one catch. Taylor must do whatever Quinn wants, WHEN she wants it.

After learning how to successfully deliver the death stare and how to “fake it ‘til you make it” Taylor turns her career and social life around. Everything is perfect….until Quinn ruins it all. It’s serious damage control time for Taylor, but sometimes all the apologies and sucking up in the world just isn’t enough.

I couldn’t put this book down. I’m a sucker for a story about a regular old girl trying to make it big in the city.

Taylor was definitely a likable character. She was easy to relate to, and towards the end, I really felt my heart break for her. You know a book is good when you physically cringe at what’s coming up next. Even though Taylor turned into a mean girl throughout the course of the book, you can’t help but like her because she tried so hard to succeed.

I’m really hoping that Zoey Dean is planning to write another novel featuring the fabulous Taylor Henning.

RATING : 10/10

How To Be A Hepburn In A Hilton World by Jordan Christy

How To Be A Hepburn In A Hilton World by Jordan Christy is a how-to book for young women/professionals about becoming a classy woman. I first picked up this book without realizing it was non-fiction; I was just intrigued by the catchy title and the cute cover. When I found out it was more of a self-help book, I was still willing to give it a try.

In a world where most young girls strive to gain attention (and not always in a good way), Christy sets out to teach readers that being classy and wholesome is better than being skanky and crazy.

I have mixed feelings about this book. Some of the chapters were completely useful and interesting. I especially liked the chapter about finding your personal style and accessorizing for work which is something I’m dealing with on a daily basis. I also enjoyed the chapter about makeup and finding the right color palette for you.

A chapter on work ethic proved interesting, if not completely obvious.

However, some of the chapters I couldn’t even believe I was seriously reading a book that had been written in the 21st century. The chapter that immediately comes to mind is the one where Jordan Christy tells readers that it is absolutely NOT OKAY for young women to ask a guy out, send him a text first or make the first move. HELLO?! Is this 1955? I get that all women should be classy and we shouldn’t be drunkenly throwing ourselves at a guy at a bar in a mini-skirt, but since when does it hurt to show a little interest? I don’t know. I just couldn’t get behind this chapter. She even goes so far to interview “real guys” who all prove her point…right.

I read this book fairly quickly and skimmed through some of the more boring sections. I admire Christy’s goal in publishing this book. I completely agree that we should all try to be a little more Audrey Hepburn than Paris Hilton, but I think the message was lost in the pages of this book.

RATING: 4/10

LA Candy by Lauren Conrad

I was pleasantly surprised when I finished reading L.A. Candy by Lauren Conrad. As I mentioned before, I wasn’t expecting much from the MTV star, but I was truly impressed by her writing and the story.

L.A. Candy tells the story of Jane Roberts, a nineteen year old who moved to L.A. with her best friend Scarlett. Jane moved to L.A. to intern for prestigious event planner Fiona Chen, while Scarlett moved to L.A. to attend USC. After being spotted by a producer out at a club, the girls are asked if they’d like to be part of a new reality TV show for PopTV featuring 4 girls who moved to L.A. for different reasons. Jane and Scarlett are a bit skeptical, but they decide to go for an interview.

Jane and Scarlett find out that they have been hired for the show and instantly, their whole world changes. The girls meet Madison and Gaby, their co-stars and Scarlett immediately gets a bad vibe from Madison. Jane, always friendly wants to give them a chance. Almost overnight, Jane and Scarlett became famous leading to problems at work, with boys, and even in their own friendship.

Throughout the taping of the show within the book, Jane is shocked and surprised to learn that reality TV isn’t as real as she once thought. When she is asked to enter and re-enter a club’s entrance 5 times and when her producer text messages her during a dinner to ask Jane to smile and speak more loudly, Jane is confused and upset.

Towards the end of the book, Jane learns some tough lessons about who can and can’t be trusted.

Many people believe that this book is loosely based on The Hills. As a huge fan of The Hills, I definitely believe that and like to think that this book is Lauren’s “fictional” way of telling fans what really went down behind the scenes on The Hills.

I honestly LOVED this book. The only thing I didn’t love so much was the ending. The end of the book was fast-paced and exciting and I was turning the pages quickly and then all of a sudden it was over. I double checked to make sure I wasn’t missing a chapter. I quickly logged online and learned that Conrad signed a 3 book deal and that the chapter I thought was missing will be included in the next book. I’m all for a cliffhanger ending, but I do like a little bit of closure, at least to hold me over until the next book!

Sugar & Spice by Lauren Conrad

Published by Harper Collins
Number of pages :  288
My review - 8 out of 10

In TV star Lauren Conrad's delicious, entertaining novel about young Hollywood, the lies are only as sweet as the people telling them. Jane Roberts is a bona fide celebrity -- she is treated like a queen, has couture clothes and starlet looks. She also has the tabloid scandals, fake friends and relentless paparazzi. Now that Jane has survived her first season on the air, she has learned a few things. Most importantly: Hollywood is full of people trying to use you -- especially her former friend and current co-star, Madison Parker. So Jane is trying to surround herself with the people she knows love her for her. Like Scarlett, her best friend since childhood. And Caleb, her high school boyfriend who happens to be back in Los Angeles for the next few months. Sure, after a recent -- and very public -- love-life implosion, Jane is on a break from boys. But that does not mean she can't spend time with Caleb. They are just friends. She and Braden are also now friends after they lived through a horrible photo scandal. Well, maybe not, but a little drama never hurt anyone! too badly. Full of the ripped-from-real-life plot twists that Lauren's fans love, SUGAR AND SPICE is another great page-turner in this juicy teen series.

That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything in Between by Victoria Beckham

Taken from Victoria Beckham :

I have no qualifications to write this book; that's why I've got someone else to do it for me. But let me share my insights anyway. First I'd like to knock something on the head. The idea that, once you have a bit of money, you start wearing couture and stilettos all day and live on caviar and champagne is just nonsense. They've both got far too many calories.

My own inspirations come from Grace Kelly, Jackie Onassis and Giacometti sculpture, but this book is not my attempt to tell you what or what not to do. It's my last chance to cash in on what remains of my fame before David retires.

Even though I do love getting dressed up, jeans remain the staple of my wardrobe. They're so easy for staff to throw in the washing machine when they get dirty. Jeans that sag at the bottom are a nightmare and I was thrilled when Rock and Republic allowed me to use the GCSE in textiles that I nearly passed to put my name to a design that someone else made. You won't be able to afford them, though, so you should go to Gap.

"Victoria is a fashion icon and she spends a lot of money in our shops" - Christopher Bailey, Burberry.

I'm a great fan of vintage T-shirts. A word about vintage, though: it's easy to get confused about the difference between vintage and second-hand and that's because they're basically the same. If you want to be safe, look for something that's ridiculously overpriced. Blouses and halter-necks don't really do it for me, though you can wear them if you want to look like you shop at Primark, but nobody should be without a £1,000 Chanel cardigan. Have a look in charity shops if you can't afford a new one.

Think twice before wearing a miniskirt. You might look like Naomi Campbell, but more likely you'll end up looking like that minger Jordan, who never slept with David no matter what she says. And going out wearing no knickers underneath - I'm mentioning no names here! - just makes you look like a right slapper. Try wearing a pencil skirt, like me. They are so classy - especially if you buy them from Roland Mouret or Alexander McQueen. Empire-line dresses are also perfect for those bloated days when you've eaten breakfast.

"I am grateful for the possibility of being close to Victoria's credit card" - Roberto Cavalli.

Every girl should have masses of accessories. I couldn't live without my Manolos or Christian Louboutins and I never go out without throwing on my Chanel sunglasses. Make sure you always take a friend with you when you go shopping - it's so useful to have someone to carry the bags - and remember, if you can't find exactly what you're looking for, there are plenty more outlets in Paris, Madrid and New York. The one accessory over which I would advise caution is a tattoo - I love mine and David's to bits but you should always check they're spelt right.

Your bra doesn't have to match your knickers, but make sure you buy one that fits. Not everyone can aff ord a boob job - not that I've had one, mind, and even if I had, I would never have one as obvious as some people I can think of - and there's nothing worse than a bit of droop, if you get my meaning, girls! And do keep your thongs inside your jeans, unless they come from Agent Provocateur.

You can never spend too much money on hair and beauty products, unless you haven't got any. Using cheap shampoo makes your hair lifeless - and no one wants to look like they've got extensions. Finally, don't be afraid to be yourself. We all make mistakes from time to time. I once wore an Armani dress to a Dolce & Gabbana party! How dumb was that?

My Rating : 8/10
This book is really great! It taught me about many things related to girl stuffs! LOVE IT!
