REMEMBER : IF IT HURTS, IT'S PROBABLY WORTH IT

May 25, 2009

R U Still There??

Hi everyone! It's been another while since I last checked my blog, happily it still remains in your hearts, and I thank you for your support and appreciation (and of course, your patience hihi). Please do forgive me for another late update, I'm just not certain about what I should write. To be frank, everyone seems to be so into fashion blogs, hey I'm no fashionista, and I feel outnumbered!

Anyways, even though I don't happen to host an awesome fashion blog, I've achieved an awesome reward for my hard work this past year. I'm featured in two local Indonesian magazines this month. Yes, TWO MAGAZINES! I was so excited to have my name and my photos featured. The first one is in Majalah Tamasya, which is a monthly travel magazine. It features all the amazing places to travel in Indonesia. My Vatican City post got in the magazine for the Traveler's Blog section! Yayness! My post was translated into Indonesian, and my blog definitely got some publicity :D

The second magazine I'm in this month is Jeune Magazine. Which is a bimonthly fashion magazine! Ehmmm, I beat you fashion bloggers! Haha, no just kidding loves, don't take it personally. I had an intimate photo shoot with a friend of mine, Firman NI in Bandung last year (by the way, he's totally awesome!). It's pretty provocative, I'm kinda half naked. But the photos look awesome, and I was featured for four whole pages. This particular issue also features my photography seniors I've known for years. Jason wasn't as thrilled as I was, he was actually very upset about it. But even so, it's still an achievement as a tiny 5-foot model like me!




(You can get the magazines in local bookstores, both are May issues, Majalah Tamasya edisi Aceh and Jeune Magazine Erotica issue. Shout out to those cool people who put me in this month, thanks loves!)

Well, the summer holiday is approaching, and I'm very enthusiastic about it. Planning to go on a holiday trip with my family, and of course with my sweet boyfriend, and most importantly my awesome friends which I've lost contact with since college started last year. I'm definitely going to have loads of fun for my two months off from school.


I'm not a huge fan of the sun, but I'm still looking forward to enjoy while avoiding it :p


What's your plans for the holidays?

I'll tell you mine! I'm going to get a new tattoo, celebrate Jason's 20th birthday in July, and I have loads of photo shoot schedules to come, so you'll be seeing new works of mine in coming months. Hope I haven't made you bored yet with this static blog of mine. And even though we might not know each other in the real world, you know I love you, and I'm forever grateful you're by my side. Hugs! Ciao!

Andrea Violetta said...

Glad your post got some publicity, that's really cool :)

Cannot wait to see some of your new works, Cass!

-btw, you're really brave to do that photo shoot. Monang would probably kill me if I ever did such a provocative photo shoot. Good thing I'm no model hahaha. :p

The point is, the photos looks awesome. Keep up the awesome work!

Cassey said...

>Anonymous
Hi there! Oh no, have you added my msn? Oh I'm sorry if I didn't reply. Sometimes I get so busy on the internet and seldom reply messages, unless it's someone important. Sorry there, I'll reply next time okay? ;)
Oh and my Facebook account is for my "real life" friends only, not to be arrogant, just so I know each person on my friends list hehe

>Amanda
Thank you!

Cassey said...

Your love keeps me going, Petrice. Thank you very much ;)

Cassey said...

>Nisa Puspasari
Aww dearest, you're very sweet aren't you?! Well, no, i don't ask for my mom's permission before having photo shoots of any sort. However she is widely aware of my work and what i do. She did have problems with photos like these at first, but not anymore. I'm a grown up already, and whatever i do is my decision and the risks and consequences that comes with my behavior is for me only to be responsible of :)

>Millie
Hehehe, oops. Don't worry, you know I'm just kidding right? You know i love your blog!

>Aishanatasha A.
OH YES. July it is! Hey, i reallyyyyy want to talk to you, but i haven't seen you on msn! Talking on facebook is kinda lame...

Nur Zaman said...

wow cassey how are u???? im so excited with your new post. hehehe
and anyway why you not make your blog going into the book or novel??? i bet lot of people will buy your book. hhehee

Cassey said...

Oh I'm great! Thanks for asking :D
Wow, hehehe, i don't think so. A book? You've gotta be kidding, what should i write?!

Cassey said...

Thanks! The feedback is definitely sweetness, glad to be back after a month of being away. Stalker or not, i really appreciate everyone's support!

Oh and yes dear, don't worry, those photos are definitely paid work, and helps a lot for saving money for Jason's birthday gift hihihi.

Take care will ya

Sheyka said...

Oh my, CASS, it's good to see you again now (even you have a little time to visit my blog, which is not a fashion blog, lol) :)

Wow, you make me impressed, over 10 comments for your comeback post, Dear. People out there such a stalker to have you in their first list, don't they? ROFL :D Me too, maybe. Hahaha

Those things in this post are great, Cass. I agree to those compliments before my comment here, LOL. Although yours are not as tall as the others, amaze people around you and make them not look down into you. I think you look like a high-class photographer, than other SLR-prouders or a newbie like me :)

P.S : Psst, CASS, did you got some comission for this one? I would ask them if I were you, CASS.

ROFL :D

sleepyheaded nindya said...

Cassey said...

Hehehe thank you sweets. Yeah, Jason was very veryyyyy upset. No matter how much i say "artistic nude! artistic nude!". Hahahaha. But he's okay now, he just wishes me not to do any photos like that anymore :p

Hi there, really wished you didn't call me "chass" but it's okay :p

I really didn't do anything with the html layout, I just chose a blogger default template. Click Customize, Pick New Template, and the template I'm using now is Minima Lefty Stretch. :)

>jovita
Well thank you! I also think I deserve it ;)
I promise I'll update much frequently. Would you be bored if I just upload a couple of lines and only 1 photo on a post?
Happy holidays to you too! Have a great one!

>JANIT
You're too nice! I'm also inspired by others, so if I've inspired you, it's your turn to inspire someone else ;)
Don't worry, my mom is okay, I'm a grown up already hihi. She lets me make all my decisions on my own.

>Putri Erdisa
Awh really? I must have missed it. Sorry! How 'bout resending it? I'll reply right away!
