Poem Post #2 : Insomnia

INSOMNIA

I can't sleep
Just can't sleep well
Something that haunts me
Following me to bed
The eyes won't compromise
Scared of those monsters
Watching me sleep behind
I say, "I am fine."
The body is exhausted
How craving soul wants to rest
But the heart won't stop beating
While the brain still imagining
Again, the creatures are coming
Floors and doors make creaked sound
As the wind blows freeze
I am freezing
Can't think what will appear
A tree grows a rotten pear
How my eyes feel the fear
Wandering the night
Hope to dream about the knight
In the dark he fights
For dream and darkness are all collide
I can't rest
Just can't rest well
A crowned heart hurts
How the monsters bleed it first
That's when the heart is dying
Finally stops beating
Now I can sleep
Me and knight live in freed

Outfit Post #3 : Workday Casual Black

I admit that the company where I work in doesn't really have a strict rule about dressing up "well", so it's not just me who likes wearing t-shirt, sometimes. 


I do nothing for my hair. It's half wet after morning shower yet not being tousled.


That shirt is actually a couple t-shirt - one is owned by my brother. It fits body perfectly and I match it with black high-waist pants.


(Couple) T-shirt : bought it online
Pants : wtf it's Zara Woman with inverted Z lol

Babybat Steps: What to Wear

Being a babybat is such an unforgettable phase to be a Goth. Some say it's the sweetest time, while some say it's the dumbest moment, including me :p Have you ever tried to change over your style and people were like - you saw them, scared (a lot)? I have and it was horrible, couldn't believe what on earth i was thinking about. I just realized it few weeks after i did it xD So for you, ladies who are the new bats in this exceptional world, prepare to make a wonderful shopping list!

New Steps of Babybat

Black top

Let's start from the plain and multifunctional ones. It may be just black or with another color mixture or a picture on it.

Tank Top in Action

The first choice i give you is tank top. I assume every woman has at least one piece. It can be body fit, half-cut or the loose one. Tank top is also great for you who have shoulder tattoo(s), and can cover your cleavage when you wear clothes with low neck line.

Shirts Aren't Worthy Without 'R'


The second choice is very classic: shirts! T-shirts, short sleeves, long sleeves or even band shirts. I guess the coolest is band shirts. But make sure you have worn the "proper" shirt and make it like you tribute your favorite band.

Black jeans and leggings

Rock Yer Feet



Jeans and leggings work well with various style and are comfortable for everyday wear. However, jeans make the legs become too rigid to do any certain activities, while leggings can be more flexible and may be the substitution of stockings/tights to wear with boots. They have their own plus and minus.

Black Shoes

Shoe She Shoe



Boots work well with most of Goth styles. Boots are very great for protecting your feet from the snow and the rain. Too bad currently i don't own any boots yet because i'm still saving my money.
What? You can't wear boots? Oh, right, there are also many Goths who work at the companies or offices and so am i. We aren't allowed to wear platform boots, of course. Don't worry! Flat shoes, high heeled, stilleto and sneakers are good too. If you are into the lolita style, wear flat shoes or maryjane with ribbon attributes.

Black Outer

Be-Dare Outwear



You may need a cardigan, leather jacket or sweater. For you who also live in everyday-is-summer places, you don't have to wear them only for making up your style, but it is important to see the condition in your area first. If you work in an air-conditioned place, i would like to suggest you a jacket or sweater.

Lifehack : Find A Lace For The Skirt

I don't own many skirts. Once I have the most favorite one, I rarely wear it, and suddenly the beloved skirt changes into smaller size.... or that's me who grows bigger. So when I force my waist to fit in, the skirt lace is fragmented x'D



Am I really that fat?

Well, the lace was made of thin faux leather. No wonder it was very fragile since I found it at local market about 4 years ago. I don't try to find another reason okay :p

I was thinking how to replace the faux leather with something bigger but looking nice. And I got my bulb shining on my head: shoe lace. I have several unused shoe laces in plain colors, which I used to wear at high school.

The shoe lace

Some people may think it is kind of weird to see shoe lace worn on a cloth, but hey, that's what I called being creative.

I choose the bright blue one to make it contrast with the skirt. Just throw the leather, put the shoe lace in the holes, and done!


Don't use any tights because the weather is such a schorcher.

The skirt may seem a bit tight for my belly. Ehm, I've gained 10 kg after high school graduated! Hahahahaha~
