Where your inspiration go? Working on a creative industry means that you need to be creative all the time. As entrepreneur, I need to grow my creativity, get a lot of ideas, and maintain a lot of things in the process. But what if I'm stuck and I don't have any idea at all? Well, we all human and I'm sure we've been through those position before whether you work as an entrepreneur, 9-5 job, or even at school. But as I learned on my 20s: Never let "Lack of Idea" drag you down. Because when you let it, you will go down to a rabbit hole. Here's what I do when I'm running out of idea:

Don't push yourself to get an idea. I've got that advance from my favorite designer, Tex Saverio when I asked him about it and I realize that's totally true. First of all, you can't sit and try to think like a maniac to get an idea for your work. Sit and stare in front of your computer wouldn't inspire you. Relax and do something that would make you feel less panic so you wouldn't freak out with the deadline.

Take your notebook to a coffee shop. Since I was in college, I like to write my thesis at a coffee shop. Since I have a home office and I'm running out of ideas, I like to bring my notebook and get my work done at a coffee shop. Observe people, a nice smell from a coffee shop, have a nice drink could give me any inspiration. 

Walk in a park. I don't do it on my working hours of course, but I do it on my spare times. Walk alone in a good weather and you have a time to think in a better mood. That will do.

Read some books and watch movies. This is also what you should do in your spare times. When I have a day off or really stuck with my ideas, book is always helps. Or browsing the internet, gosh you have google wherever you go d'uh! And I found that watching movies always give me so many inspiration. Sometimes it could be a motivation as well. I could spend hours and hours watching Judd Apatow movies. Believe me, good laugh could make your brain works better.

Put on some good music. I have my own playlist to brighten up my mood. Working is so much fun if you have some good music that you could listen. I have my favorite playlist and I just posted on Instagram, in case you want to check it out (@deeisdian). I'm sure you will find a song that you knew because my playlist is a mix of 70's, 80's, 90's and even music from the present. Yeah I know I have a weird playlist but I love it.

Look at your role model. Get inspired from your idol. That will push you to get better and also to make you work even harder to achieve what you want.

Set your goals. Write down your goals and if you're running a business, write a business plan. When I was younger I thought this isn't important but I was extremely wrong. When you set your goals and write down your plan, you will know how to do next because you know where you're about to go. You could find a way to solve your problem easier.

That's what I usually do. And if you still failed to get an idea, keep calm because there will always be a plan b, plan c until plan z. you just have to hang on and you will achieve your goals.

 

Things I Like The Most From Ant-Man

I've been waiting for Ant-Man since I've heard that Paul Rudd would be Scott Lang. I'm a fan of Paul Rudd since I saw him on Friends series (yes, my favorite series ever). So I'm really stoked to see him as a superhero. It's a holiday season and cinema isn't really friendly, I mean the queue is so long and I need to mention it that I don't have the best seat because a kid beside my ate his popcorn so loud. But let's leave all of it behind because it's worth it. The movie is as great as I was expect it. I would definitely recommend everyone to watch it especially if you're a fan of superhero. I have so many reason to say and here's the short list of what I love the most from Ant-Man Movie:

1. Paul Rudd as Scott Lang

Well this is my personal reason because I like Paul Rudd and I watched all of his movies. But I could say that he is the perfect Scott Lang. Can't imagine if someone else play this role.

2. The Jokes 

Scott Lang small joke is funny! I enjoy the scene when Hank and Hope tried to train him as Ant-Man, really entertaining. Also, Scott have 3 friends and they all really hilarious, especially Luis.. can't help myself not to laugh everytime he tell any story to his friends. Last but not least, Ant-Man could shrink and when they started to show us a human point of view (not ant point of view) it seems so riddiculous. You'll find out by yourself when you see Scott Lang fight his enemy on her daughter's room.

3. A Family Guy

It melts my heart to see Scott Lang can't see his daughter and even though he was paroled, he wants to do everything for his daughter. He put his daughter on top of her list, what a great dad. And her friendship with his ride, Ant-hony.. Dang I get emotional on a lot of scene. I also kind of person who likes to pray on the movie, I was like "Please don't die.. please don't die.." As if my wish could change the movie.

4. Small Superhero

It's pretty rare to find a tiny superhero but even though he is the size of an ant, he have a great power. And I gain more respect to ants. Maybe you won't kill any ants after you watch this movie, who knows. Because there's a lot of scene that will show you what it's like to see based from ants point of view.

5. Avengers

I'm sure you already know that this movie has something with Avengers. Even Hank talk about Stark and yes, you could find more Avengers stuff on this movie but I don't wanna give you any spoiler.

That's my short list of the reason why you need to watch Ant-Man. But seriously, I love this movie. And I can't wait to see Ant-Man appearance on Captain America: Civil War. By the way, earlier before the movie premiere, I found Ant-Man photobooth. We could choose the background before we took a photo on the green screen and of course I choose a scene with Scott Lang. I can't stop laughing to see the photo's result, cheesy photos as you could see below! We tried to touch Scott Lang and how could it seems like Scott is trying to grab my butt on the first photo? I get it, this is a riddiculous photos but I feel like I need to post it just for fun.

Once Upon A Maxi Dress

"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't" - Alice In Wonderland

Peasant Lace Back Maxi Dress // Forever 21

Wedge Heel Sneakers // H&M

Salem Bag // Elle

Maxi dress become a trend from years to years and also still a trend for Spring 2015. I have never own a maxi dress before, surprise story.. this is my grandma's maxi dress. I'm glad I have a very fashionable grandma, she even shop on Forever 21 and she could dress herself properly with any kind of clothes she wants and still looks fabulous. What I love the most from this maxi dress is the dress looks simple but it has a lace back which make this dress looks stunning and classy. Does anybody remember a movie from mid-90's called The Craft? This maxi dress kind of remind me of witchcraft era or a villain on a fairy tales. In a good way of course, because in my opinion those character in the movie always have a real good style.
