Bukan Cupid Writers Interview on ProResensi RRI Pro2 FM

'Bukan Cupid' writers was invited by ProResensi programme, Radio Republik Indonesia (RRI) Pro2 Jakarta 105.00 FM, on Sunday, February 19th 2012. Six writers that represent the whole team were Lea Citra, Christina Juzwar, Pricillia Anastasia, Valleria Verawati, Irena Tjiunata, and Janita Jaya. We were interviewed by the announcer Ms. Lia Achmadi. She also gave some quizzes for the listeners which they can answered via Twitter or Facebook, the question was: Sebutkan berapa jumlah penulis cewek dan jumlah penulis cowok di kumcer 'Bukan Cupid' -- Mention how many female and male writers in 'Bukan Cupid' short story compilation project. That's a tricky question actually, because some people doesn't know that some writers are using pen names and they are actually male! So it's quite tough, the listeners should listen carefully just in case that any of us would accidentally mention the answer. We were having fun that day, telling our stories during the making of the book. Each writer has their own interesting story, from funny stories, love stories (of course!) and even sad experiences. We were telling jokes while waiting for the quiz, until somebody hit the right answer: 11 females and 3 males! Hahaha finally!
Congratulations to all the winners (I don't remember their names, sorry!). Each winner would be given a book gift set from our publisher :)

Cool Blackberry Apps (For Fashion Lovers!)

I finally back to update this blog! It's been quite sometime (again!) and I miss this blog :p
Oh well, now I want to talk about smartphone applications, for Blackberry, since I only use Blackberry 8520 for now. Most Indonesians are usually using this smartphone, of course there are some people using iPhone and others, but they mainly use Blackberry.
I have some applications that I really like, especially because I really love fashion, and I'd love to share these info to you guys. Here they are: (Not in a particular order!)

1. VOGUE Stylist (by Conde Nast India Pvt Ltd)


I have Vogue Stylist India installed in my Blackberry, it's user friendly and easy to access. It gives you the insight of the latest fashion trends, celebrity styles, runway styles, and even to find you the looks that suits you! You can customized the search based on your body looks, color and the occasions. Not just only that, you can ask the Vogue India Team for some fashion advice.
Some photos from Blackberry Apps World:

This is the home screen of Vogue Stylist App

The latest trend are featured here...

...and some celebrity styles for inspirations!

2. Trendstop Fashion TrendTracker (by Amoja Limited)


This app also a must-have for all fashionistas! They organized all the trends in this season really well. It gives you the insight of the latest news on fashion and trends, including runway looks, street looks, style ideas. You can also find over than 500 designers catwalk show photo galleries. And the best thing is it has a good resolution for each photo, you can see the wardrobe details easily. Take a peek on this season's new fashion trends, keep updated and be inspired!

The layout is nicely organised, easy-to-use

A sneak peek on the latest fashion show...

...and the catwalk looks.

3. ELLE (by Lagardère Active Digital)



Before I'm going any further, let me tell you that this app only available in French. If you like to stay in touch with the latest trends, this one might help you. ELLE's news feeds is focused on fashion, beauty, pop culture, celebrity, love and even the latest news in France. You can also save your favorite articles and share it via Facebook or Twitter.

This app provides you with the latest fashion and beauty news


4. Lookz - Barry M - Makeup Beauty Fashion and Style (by Mobstar Media Ltd)

My first impression on this app is... super cute. With pink and black as the dominant color, this application looks glittery. Lookz provides you with different kinds of make up video tutorials, from catwalk to daily life inspired. The make up tutorials are also recommended for new learners as a training material in applying make up :)

5. ELLE Québec (by Transcontinental Inc.)


Once again, this app only available in French. If you are interested in this app, please check ELLE Canada application, it's in English (and it is very unfortunate that my country isn't supporting the ELLE Canada app for now) Get to know more on celebrity gossips, fashion news and horoscope.

Keep yourself informed!

And read the horoscope for fun :)

6. Marie Claire (by Refresh Mobile Ltd)


A news portal on celebrity gossips, fashion and beauty news. This is actually the mobile site application of Marie Claire UK. All the Brits latest trending topics will be featured here, it's quite interesting though.

 Keep checking this app sometime, 
to find out what Prince Harry is up to :D

Well, those are some fashion and beauty-related applications for Blackberry that I like. I hope you'll like it too :)


Love,
