HELLO

Hello everyone, 

Long time no post and i missed posting on this blog so much. So many things happened in my life and I hope I wrote it on this blog so I can have memories about the important things happened in my life. I was thingking, reading and writing is something I will always love to do in my life so why not start rebloging on 2024. So after I graduated my master degree I was planning to do some teaching but I still havent found the perfect time to do that since I'm feeling that I still need the money from what I called corporate job. Or maybe I not brave enough yet to leaving my comfort zone. As someone who always keep on moving forward (even I still in my corporate job for last 14 years...OMG), this is things I plan to do for the future: 

1. Blogging (Of course I have to start the thing I always want to do for the rest of my life). 

2. Shopee affiliate, I know it's sounds that shoppee affiliate is not something interesting to do for someone whose have a job from 9 to 5 because it takes more of your free time since you have to making your original video. But hey, why not opened another door for the money right?. 

3. Planning to do the youtube channel with my husband about culinary in Bandung or my own youtube     channel about life, books and craft. I just thought maybe there's a reading with me section. 

4. I really really want to make KRAVITAVI come back from her long sleep. 

5. Stars exercise seriously. 

..and there one other thing that I want but I think I'm not posting it on my blog. Thats all my plan for the next phase of my life. Hope everything is good. 

Hey, maybe you passed by on this blog and read this, would you say hi on the comment section? it would bring happiness for me... 

Okhay see you with my another story...

I wake up this morning,

Suddenly feeling worry about this and that, about life.
Maybe I just have to stop worry about anything, anything. And start counting every bless that I have.

Wirausaha Baru Jawa Barat

Hallo,,,

Sudah lama tidak menulis membuat saya rindu untuk kembali bercerita, karena saat ini selain sibuk kerja saya juga sedang fokus mengembangkan KRAVITAVI, sehingga keseharian saya selain diisi dengan pekerjaan kantor,  saya juga sedang sangat haus akan ilmu berwirausaha. Untuk saat ini, selain rajin baca buku mengenai wirausaha, saya juga mulai mencoba bergabung dengan komunitas pengusaha online dan ikut training-training mengenai kewirausahaan.

Nah, kali ini saya ingin berbagi cerita mengenai program pemerintah Wirausaha baru JABAR atau yang biasa disingkat WUB. Awal saya mendapatkan info mengenai WUB dari teman kantor yang sudah daftar terlebih dahulu, tepatnya pada tanggal 19-21 Juli 2016. WUB ini merupakan training tentang kewirausahaan  pertama yang pernah saya ikuti,. sama sekali tidak dipungut biaya dan persyaratannya sangat mudah. para peserta WUB rata-rata adalah para pengusaha kecil menengah yang baru beberapa tahun mengembangkan bisnis atau baru memulai bisnis. 

Sebagai wirausahawati yang masih hijau, saya merasa sangat terbantu dengan adanya program pemerintah ini, karena para peserta dibekali ilmu-ilmu yang bermanfaat tentang berwirausaha baik dari praktisi dan akademisi yang kompeten dibidangnya. Selain itu, tidak perlu khawatir mencari makan saat jam istirahat, karena semua peserta disediakan makan berat sebanyak 3 kali dalam sehari, lumayan kan hehehe

Selain ilmu yang bermanfaat, menurut saya kerennya ikut WUB adalah menambah koneksi pertemanan sesama pengusaha yang lebih luas, jangan salah, walaupun pengusaha baru, teman saya yang baru menjalani bisnis karpet selama satu tahun, omset pertahunnya mencapai ratusan juta, amazing yaaa. Dan yang saya syukuri setelah ikut WUB, kita juga mendapat informasi yang bermanfaat yang menunjang bisnis kita, seperti pendaftaran HKI secara gratis. Saya tidak melewatkan kesempatan ini, karena setahun sebelumnya, suami mendaftarkan hak paten merk melalui jasa konsultan, dan harganya tidaklah murah, jadi siapa yang tidak mau mendaftarkan merknya secara resmi dengan gratis? ☺☺

Pada pelatihan hari ketiga atau hari terakhir, kami diajak untuk mengunjungi tempat produksi Batik Komar didaerah Dago, di tempat ini kita bisa melihat secara langsung proses produksi batik dari awal hingga akhir, tidak lupa Pak Komar memberikan motivasi untuk kami semua, senang sekali dapat bertemu Pak Komar secara langsung, walapun sudah sukses, ternyata Pak Komar sangat rendah hati dan tidak pelit berbagi ilmu, Terima kasih Pak Komar ☺

Bersama Pak Komar

Serunya saat kunjungan ini, kita dapat mencoba membatik secara langsung menggunakan canting atau cap dengan bantuan mas-mas atau mba-mba yang bekerja disana dengan ramah. Setiap peserta diberikan kesempatan untuk membatik yang diwarnai dan dijemur pada hari yang sama, sehingga hasilnya dapat dibawa pulang.

Belajar membatik menggunakan canting

Mendapat kesempatan mengikuti WUB sangat saya syukuri, selain medapat ilmu tentang kewirausahaan, mendapatkan pengalaman berharga dan bertemu teman-teman baru sesama pengusaha yang tetap terjalin walaupun program WUB telah selesai kami ikuti. Hal ini mebuat saya yang saat ini masih berstatus pegawai merasa mendapatkan teman satu perjuangan.

Bersama teman-teman satu kelas

WUB merupakan pembuka kesempatan bagi saya untuk mengenal dunia wirausaha lebih mendalam. diikuti dengan terbukanya kesempatan - kesempatan baru untuk KRAVITAVI. Terima kasih WUB ☺

Hallo....

Sudah lama sekali saya tidak mengupdate blog kesayangan saya ini, kalo dilihat dari post terakhir lebih dari setahun yang lalu, well....saya akhirnya mengalami hibernasi dalam membuat blog, sesuatu yang sangat saya hindari. Tetapi akhirnya mengalami juga ☺

Kalo dilihat dari postingan terakhir, saya saat itu merasa lagi di zona nyaman banget dan merasa susah untuk berkembang, saking nyamannya susah untuk bergerak, hemmm setahun kemudian bagaimana yah?

Tepat sekitar bulan november tahun kemarin, saya memutuskan untuk mulai keluar dari zona nyaman saya, yaitu membuat brand DIY souvenir dan barang-barang handmade lainnya. Kalau diingat-ingat, dari saya SMA memang ingin jadi pengusaha yang produksi barang-barang yang lucu, walaupun belum tahu barangnya apa. Saya memberikan nama KRAVITAVI untuk brand saya, dan saat ini sudah ada web nya yang bisa kamu liat disini. Senaaaang banget rasanya bisa bikin barang-barang lucu sekaligus menghasilkan uang, saya sih berharap kedepannya kravitavi ini bisa menjadi fokus utama saya, walaupun sekarang belum bisa, but i'm working on it 

Dalam merintis KRAVITAVI ini, saya didukung oleh banyak sekali orang-orang yang dekat dengan saya, mulai dari suami, keluarga dan teman-teman yang memang sudah menjadi pengusaha, selain itu banyak sekali dukungan dari teman-teman kantor. Pokoknya saya merasa terberkati didukung oleh mereka semua.

Selain mengerjakan produk-produk custom, saya juga memproduksi produk ready stock, jadi engga perlu lama nunggu PO, Untuk saat ini, produk ready stock baru tersedia pouch saja, kedepannya sih impian saya bisa bikin produk ready stock dalam beberapa tema. wish me luck 

Okhayyy, that my story today....mudah-mudahan bisa konsisten menulis yah, see you later

Luxury Crime

Hallo.....

Sumber

Saya teringat saat baru banget lulus kuliah, saya sempat freelance di Selasar Sunaryo sebagai penjaga pameran. Salah satu seniman yang menjadi pengisi pameran tersebut adalah Agus Suwage, salah satu karyanya, yang belakangan saya ketahui berjudul "Luxury Crime" sangat membekas dihati saya sampai saat ini. Karya ini berupa instalasi seni dimana sebuah kerangka manusia berlapis emas sedang berendam di sebuah bathtub yang berisi beras.

Saya tidak tahu kenapa, tetapi masih saya ingat saat pertama kali melihat karya ini, I just could not stop stare at it. Dan intrepetasi saya terhadap karya ini adalah sesosok manusia yang terperangkap dalam kemapanan, dalam kenyamanan dan kemewahan yang diwakili oleh kerangka manusia yang dilapisi oleh emas yang berendam dalam bathtub stainless berisi beras. Mengapa terperangkap? karena semua hal itu membuatnya susah bahkan tidak bisa bergerak, terlihat tidak nyaman. I dont know if I'am right or wrong about the interpretation, but that's what I feel about this.

Sayangnya, ini yang saya rasakan saat ini, biasanya kalau saya sudah merasa tidak berkembang dalam suatu hal, karya ini dan sepotong lirik lagu dari greenday yang langsung muncul dalam kepala saya. Want to know the lyric?

Are you feeling like a social tool without a use ?


Well, it's not that I'am a bad person feeling like that, I think it is a good sign to do something.

Oke, let's do something....
 let's go to sleep.

Goodnight everyone.

My DIY wedding souvenir

Hallo everyone...

This time I want to posting about my wedding souvenir,

I am so excited to posting about my wedding souvenir because I made all of them by my self. The first idea come when my friend come to my home after have a DIY workshop pouch. The pouch is so cute so I beg to my friend to teach me how to make my own pouch. And it was so simple and I think there would be no perfect souvenir on my wedding day but my DIY little pouch.

So I made some design for my pouch, because both of Putra and I love cats, we try to make cat as logo for our wedding concept. But then we came with the idea to make our silhouette as the logo. So it would make all the wedding things more personal to us.

First, we calculate everything that we need for 600pcs pouchs, fabric, Zippers, The screen printing charge, Dacron, etc. Since I plan to sew by my self I can cut the production cost. We bought all the material that we need. We bought the fabric first and then the other material, after that we print the fabric, we didnt do the printing by ourself, after all was ready, I began to sew, well it took 4 months for me to finished this job. It's hard to keep on going to  finish the target during another wedding preparation but I finaly I did it =D.

okayyy,,, i know its a long post, a lot of pics without explanation...=D

wait for my other post and it will be (still) about my wedding things... =))





See you on my next post.



Anita 

Love is in the air.

Holla everyone....

It's still about my wedding things =D

Honestly, in the beginning I have no idea about the concept of our prewedding, but Putra knows exactly what he wants, so I just could'nt agree more with his idea. He wants all about nature things, green grass, sun light and the earth colors. It was all simple, we looking for the dress, shirt, and trousers just a day before and then we're just mix and match the color of our clothes that we already have.

And about the photographer, my friend Lanny,  said that she and her husband who is a photographer will help us do the prewedding photoshoot, well nothing is better that working together with your best friend doing the photoshoot, right? =). Lanny's husband, Stephen  Christoferus or we usually called him Ko Iip used to do the photoshoot for wedding and prewedding. On the photo session day, he accompanied by his another prewedding photographer friend, ko Hans. The make up done by my wedding make up artist Teh Dessy, she did the make up for free as a free trial before the wedding make up and my friend Lanny, help me to retouch my make up.

It was hard to  synchronize our time, but finally we can have a day to do the photoshoot. The place took in Kota Baru Parahyangan, we need to have the permit from the management, it was all be managed by Ko Iip, thaks a lot ko =). The make up begin in 5 o'clock in the morning and the photoshoot began about 9 o'clock in the morning and end up on 6 o'clock in the afternoon. It was tiring but we all have fun =).

Putra and I really love the result, it was exactly what we want. I couldnt say nothing but big thanks to my friends (big hugs). Here are my prewedding photoshoot,edited by ko Iip (another thank you for ko Iip =D)  hope u love it like we do =) 

If you interested on Stephen  Christoferus's work for photoshoot, you can contact him by phone 081931332383.

See u guys on my next post

love,

Anita

My Wedding Story

Holaaaa everyone,,,

Happy new year...
Hope this year will bring us more luck and happines...

In this first post this year, I am so happy to announce that I am married now =D, it was on 6th december 2014, and I just cant wait to posting about my wedding preparation. First of all, it's taken 3 years for Putra and I being together, and finally, We decided to get married in the perfect time for us.

THE CONCEPT

First of all, I was looking for the mood color for my wedding day, and i found it on www.design-seeds.com and this is the color that We choose for my wedding concept.

After found the color, We made the logo for our wedding day. We made several logos but then this is the final logo that we decided would be use in entire wedding things.

 

Logo, design by Putra

It took us about 8 months  preparation and most of all, it was me and Putra prepare for the concept. We were so happy that We could make the concept of our wedding day and make it happened. The feeling was just great. So this is a lil sneak peak on my wedding day =).
Putra Design the wedding invitation, He gave me three option of the design and i fall in love with this design.

I dream to make my own wedding souvenir, I want to make something cute, useful and personal, so when my friend came from a workshop to make coin pocket, I imagine that would be perfect wedding souvenir. I learn how to made it from my friend and the end of the story is I spent about 4 months to sew 600 pcs souvenir. It took much time and energy but I am happy with the result ^^.

Wedding souvenir, made by Me

I gave some family member the clothes to wear on my wedding day. I fall in love with the color of the cloth in the first sight, so i wasnt wasting my time, i decided to buy it and wrapped it with love.
I named every gift for my elder family member to make it personal.

Since there is always ordinary sign of Janur, I decided to make my own sign. I made the logo of our wedding from foamboard so it can float easily and waterproof. People can recognize my wedding view from this sign because it is the same logo on my wedding invitation.

Janur

I really concern about the wedding booth. I want to make a welcome sign for our guests. I think there in nothing perfect than a booth with our logo on a wall and our prewedding photos on a classic white table, and a lot of fresh and sweet flowers. I think it just a sweet and cute welcome.

We bought all the seserahan things for months, since we both busy, we decided to buy the seserahan things one by one, of course I am  happy that Putra allow me to buy everything that I want =D.

Dessy Pramuditha is the make up artist for my wedding day. I knew her since she's the make up artist for my two friends, I love my make up result, its not to heavy on my face and the make up color tone just perfect on my face.I feel special on my wedding day.

AKAD NIKAH

Akad nikah started on 8 o'clock in the morning, so the make up started on 4.30 in the early morning. I can remember it clearly, I was so happy, excited and my heart beat so fast that morning. After akad, we continue to traditional sundanese wedding ceremony and than Putra and I change the kebaya and beskap ( a traditional sundanese clothes) for wedding reception.

THE RECEPTION

On the opening of wedding reception, we were welcomed by a sundanese traditional dancer. It was all pink and tosca everywhere. The reception held from 11 am to 2 pm. It was a happy moment when you see family and friend coming on your wedding day and share the joy together.
