Michael Kors Hamilton Saffiano N/S Tote Large - RED

Merdekaaa!!!

Hahaha..apa kabar semuanya? hope baik2 aja yaa..seperti diriku hari ini yang lagi merasa happy sampe keubun-ubun. (karena menang lomba makan kerupuk Gie?) Noo..no..udah gede mak, malu sama umur dan gak enak juga saingan ma bocah2 deket kostan! LOL

Anyway, hari ini gw cuma mau sharing aja how much I enjoyed my days lately. First after ber-galaw2 ria gegara nervous menyambut hari pertama kerja, all of sudden hari kamis kemarin, semua perasaan galaw, resah, gelisah dan gamang..hilang semuanyaah!

And the reason is because, finally, after weeks of weeks hunting, browsing2 sampe begadang dan compare2 sampe mata sliwer, last Thursday, my dream MK Hamilton Saffiano Red has finally arrived! Excited? Sudah cencuuw <3

Jadi ceritanya kan kamis kemarin gw ndak kemana-mana, trus iseng deh mau nongkrong2 sambil buka laptop di kolam. Baru juga naro laptop, tiba2 aja Bu Sugeng bilang kalo gw dapet kiriman paket, pas gw liat bungkus paketnya gedaaa..I kneew it was my long-awaited bag that's coming!

Jangan ditanya deh betapa noraxnya gw ketika ngeliat itu, secara gw udah kaya orang gila lompat2an kesenengan, sampe2 si Ibu Sugeng berrolling eyes ngeliatinnya :p

Trus ga pake lama, langsung buru2 donk gw buka itu paket (sambil deg2an pastinya) (berasa kaya dapet kiriman cincin kawin) (maafkan saya yang norak ya) And there it is, just right in front of my eyes, my dream bag!

OMG...OMG...OMG

You see, I've been dreaming this bag since the very first I saw it, but I was torned between this one or Selma, and after long consideration, I chose Selma Black first instead of this. After I got the Selma, then I began to hunting Hamilton Red again.

Apparently,  it was not that easy. Considering this color was their last season' collection and they don't sell in any longer here in my country, thus I need to search to another country or websites.

Again, it was not that easy because most of the websites only provide the Mandarin color instead of RED, and for me, even though both colors are looked almost the same, but I just knew that in real life they're both slightly different. As per its name, Mandarin leans to orange-ish and yeah of course I don't liked it.  So the hunting kept continued...

Until one day I found the real Red at Macy's.  As always, I contacted one of the forum seller to buy it for me. Unfortunately, at that time she doesn't open PO from Macy's, as well as the other sellers too. And there you are, I lost hope! Tapi namanya juga ngidam ya mak, gw kekeuh musti hunting teruuuus! Akhirnya, gw coba2 deh searching dan compare2 harga di Instagram, Facebook and another online sites sampe buntu mau nyari kemana lagi.

Several weeks has passed until I tried it once again on Google, and finally..one of the online shopping site called Amazon sell it and what makes me even happier is that the price was on sale aka cheaper than what I've seen before, A LOT!

So without further thinking, I immediately contacted the seller -thank God that she open PO at Amazon- and after I agreed on the quote price, I said confirmed and she said OK.

Deal Done! All I have to do is just wait for it to arrived in my kostan for about 3 weeks or so (so much depends on our customs).

To my surprise, it's arrived earlier than I thought! Only in 3 weeks, the seller sent me the invoice and less than 2 days, it's here and totally mine now ;) 

Under direct SUN ;)

 

Yeah, I used it on my first day working...

 

After a thrilled and super exciting day, latah deh mampir ke Galleries Lafayette Pacific Place untuk iseng ngecek2 toko MK yang baru aja dibuka. Dan ujung2nya adalah, kalap nyobain tas2 dan aksesoris yang super duper keceh2 itu sampe kebawa mimpi segala!

PS : Naksir satchel saffiano yang luggage...sama bracelet and wide buckle ring!

Arrrgghh..gak bener iniih -____-

Blazer Style

Maybe you all had enough listening me talking about blazer all the time. About how much i love blazer, how much I adore Zara blazer and how much I say I cannot live my work life without it. But on a serious note, I do sometimes lost track and idea how to wear it differently.

You see, I don't like wearing skirt, let alone a dress. It's just too girly2 for me and it's just not my style. Therefore, the only combination to wear blazers for me are trousers or jeans. And trust me, it ain't easy as it seems. No matter how many times I googling to search some inspirations, it will always ended up nothing. I'm not saying this because they're all not good. It's just because, their posture and mine are not the same. Their culture, their personal style and their working environment are not the same too. So it's kinda difficult for me to match what suits best.

There are a LOT of blazer style, outfit and inspirations on google, but is there at least one blogger that can really channeling my signature style? Maybe I didn't search too hard, maybe there is one out there. It doesn't necessarily international blogger, domestic will even better, because she will definitely understand what we've going through in here.  But is there any?

All pics below are supppeerrr duppperrr awesoomme. I cannot stop looking at them and daydreaming that one day I can copy their style too. But boy, oh boy..those killer legs! Not in the world I can own those long and gorgeous legs! *ssighh..now I'm blaming my body..Bad Gie..Bad!

Oleh2 Anak B26

Holaa...

Gini deh ya efek wifi kostan terlalu kenceng, bawaannya anteeeng bener didepan lappy. Dari mulai browsing2 (no..no..not online shopping koq-puasa dulu ini mah!), blogwalking sampe latah pingin update blog melulu. *produktif ceritanya niyee..lol

So, updatean kali ini cuma mau cerita aja kejadian 3 hari terakhir. As I wrote earlier on my last post, beberapa hari terakhir ini gw ndak ngapa2in, seharian cuma ngudek-ngudek kamar. Dari mulai bongkarin lemari, sortir baju2 yang kepake or yang kekecilan (dem) sampe bebenah kekolong2 kasur segala! Puash sih, tapi capee ya mak.

Trus kan ya, kemarin itu anak2 satu per satu udah mulai bermunculan (bahasa gw) yang pertama jelas si Dince yang notabene emang udah ada dari hari Minggu karena hari Seninnya dia uda musti masuk kerja lagi. Setelah cupika-cupiki, kita nongri2 deh by the pool sambil cerita2 ngapain aja selama liburan. Trus hari berikutnya, mulai datang si Fey2, Monce, Tami and last Dimsblo. Berhubung mereka semua rata2 anak rantau, alhasil pas mereka mau mudik kita udah rempong bikin list oleh2 yang musti mereka bawa balik nantinya..haha

Alhasil, pas kemarin meja disamping kolam renang penuuh dengan segala macam makanan khas kampuangnya masing2. Dince sih kampungnya di BSS, so ndak ngarep lebih-lah ya. Tapi pas Fey2 dateng, dia udah bawa satu box gede bolu Meranti keju dan blueberry buat kita semua. Monce yang datang dari BPP, udah pasti gak ketinggalan bawain kita kerupuk Amplangnya. Dimsblo si anak Palembang, udah berkoar2 untuk bawain kita -yang katanya- pempek asli Palembang yang rasanya gak ada yang ngalahin. Tapi si Tami lebih lucu, secara dia baliknya ke Boyolali, alhasil oleh2 yang bisa dia bawa ya gak jauh2 dari hasil bumi, alias sayur-mayur dan sebangsanya. Berhubung dikostan gak ada yang niat jadi penjual sayur-mayur, jadilah dia cuma bawain kita jagung Fresh dari ladang hasil metik sendiri. lol

Nah, semalem kita puas deh tuh makan bakwan jagung, ngemil kerupuk Amplang, nikmatin bolu Meranti dan berebutan Pempek Palembang. Eeeh, udah penuh makanan gitu, tau2 Nike si anak Bogor, dengan santainya ngeluarin Es buah tengah malam buta buat kita semua. Gilingaan mak..it was 1am in the morning! 

Tapi it was so much fun and so full stomach! Thanks all..maaf ya eyke ndak bisa bawain apa2, gw mah bagian gorengin pempeknya aja deeh. :D

Ciao!

Things to Get Done!

H minus 1. Geez, no one can really understand how i feel right now. Sooo nervous man..seriously! Mungkin sebagian orang akan berfikir biasa aja, tapi I can't! and I really don't know why.

Oke deh, biarin aja perasaan itu lewat dengan sendirinya besok. Gw emang punya kebiasaan jelek kalo udah overexcited. Perasaan gw bisa tiba-tiba aja kacaw dan gak karuan, padahal mah kalo udah hari H nya biasa aja.

So, today kegiatan gw adalah ngebayangin what to wear and what to bring aja. After sending bbm to Mike, it's confirmed that i'll be coming around 9am. Good for me, afaik, my working hour was supposedly 8am. But let the boss decides-lah ;)

Anyway, talking bout what to bring, i really need to fixed my lappy nih. Ever since I bought it around 5 months ago, I experienced so many pain-in-the-neck problem. Mulai dari lappynya yang cepet panas, batere drained too fast, slow reboot (tho it already being facilitated by SSD), display yang suka berubah seenak jidat sampe nyetrum2 sedikit. Annoying huh! 

Meskipun sekitar satu bulan lalu gw udah coba bawa ke  tokonya langsung di ambass dan sama mereka juga udah dibawa ke service centernya di STC, tapi ternyata setelah 'dirawat' hampir 2 minggu, pas balik, my lappy belum sembuh normal aja tuh. 

Saat ini sih untuk pemakaian normal masih fine2 aja, such as browsing and word processor. Tapi ndak kebayang seandainya gw udah instal outlook dan instal applikasi penunjang yang lain, gw yakin nih lappy pasti akan drop setengah mati. Aaah..sucks!

Kali terakhir konsultasi sama penjualnya, mereka nyaranin gw untuk datang ke service centernya langsung. Mereka bilang, biasanya keluhan konsumen akan lebih didengarkan dibandingkan omongan disributor, which is for me sounds ridiculous. Kan kita yang beli, masa kita juga yang harus direpotin urusan kaya gini. Tapi lagi2, sang distributor cuma bilang, itulah mba, untuk saat ini perlindungan konsumen di negara kita masih rendah banget, dan ujung2nya memang harus konsumen juga yang selesaiin masalahnya...Hhmmm, makin terdengar gak bener aja buat gw. Tapi setelah argument, nyindir2, maksa2 sampe debat2 gak jelas, ujung2nya tetep sang distributor ndak bisa apa2. Sampe akhirnya gw bilang "kalo kaya gini caranya, mending besok2 saya jadi distributor aja deeh, saingan ma toko situ!" * you know that i'm bluffing"

Terus kan ya, gw orangnya malesan tuh, makanya sampe detik ini gw belum datang2 juga ke STC, karena memang so far si lappy masih anteng2 aja dipake buat browsingan tok! I dunno deh nanti setelah diinstal macem2 akan kaya apa, but let's see later lah.

Enough about lappy, now's about perpanjang passport. Geez, sanking kelamaan ndak jalan2, gw baru ngeh aja gitu kalo si passport udah mau expired bulan September besok. Sebulan lagi mak! Padahal dari kemarin2 gw udah selfnote untuk proses perpanjangan passportnya sendiri. Yah mumpung lagi off-work gituh dan pas kebetulan kantor immigrasinya juga tinggal ngojek and ngebajaj aja dari kostan. Tapi rencana tinggal rencana, karena sampe mau mulai kerja lagi, si passport masih anteng aja ndak keurus tuh. So, kalo udah kaya gini, gw ndak yakin bakalan bisa proses sendiri, dan ujung2nya udah pasti musti kudu pake calo dan dengan biaya lebih mahaal....*sokoooooorrriiin -_____-

Next up is pengurusan lapor pajak dan jamsostek dari kantor gw yang lama..aiiisssh, apa lagi iniih. Ya koq bisa2nya baru keingetan sekarang! Kemarin-kemarin ngapain aja Gie!

Jadi ceritanya tuh gw punya 2 kartu jamsostek dan yang satunya sebenernya udah bisa gw cash-out dari 2 tahun yang lalu, tapi apa masal, urusan kaya gini gw ndak pernah mudeng, bawaannya santai2 melulu karena mikir dana terpendam (harta karun kalee) so biarin aja dulu sampe nanti saatnya gw bener2 butuh. Tapi setelah dipikir2 lagi, mending diproses aja dulu, abis itu taro ditabungan terpisah dan jangan diutak-atik. So, based on pemikiran kaya gitu, itu artinya gw udah musti urus si jamsostek asap nih.

Trus laporan pajak, hhmmm...ini lebih repot lagi, secara gw (lagi2) baru ngeh kalo form laporan pajak tahun lalu belum dikasiin ma kantor yang lama. Dan begonya lagi, gwnya juga lupa blast ndak minta.  Sooo, terpaksa musti berhubungan lagi dengan kantor lama dan urus deeh..Arrgh dem!

Banyaak ya Peer gw. Tapi no complaint Gie, it was all your fault anyway. Nah buruan deh tuh beresin semuanya segera mumpung lagi bisa....*selftalk-pecutdirisendiri*

Random Aug 13

Tuesday noon...diluar kamar suasana masih sepi2 ajuah. Anak2 B26 belum pada balik dari kampuangnya masing2. Sepi, sunyi, senyap dan yang terdengar hanya suara motor, mobil dan bajaj dari jendela teras mini dibelakang!

Hahaha..aneh banget gw siang2 bolong gini udah ngurusin suasana kostan. But well, mau gimna lagi donk...dikala beberapa orang udah mulai misah-misuh back to work, trus beberapa orang lagi kusut2nya kena arus balik mudik dijalanan..nah gw donk, udah anteng aja dikostan dan completely doing nothing!

Hari ini otak gw blast gak bisa mikirin apa2. Mau kemana-mana males, dikamar aja suntuk, mau ngegym lemes, mau bebenah kamar udah rapi. So what to do donk? Alhasil, browsing2 aja deh dari bangun tdur sampe sekarang. 

Hasil dari blogwalking sana-sini ternyata banyak juga yang cerita tentang kegiatan lebarannya yang seru-seru. Honestly speaking, I envy them. Seru aja gitu bisa pergi2an, jalan2, ngeliat suasana baru, ketemu saudara2 dan menghirup udara yang bener2 bersih dan sejuk. Haaaa...kenapose gw tetiba ngomong kaya gini?! Hiikss...ndak jelas. Sepertinya karena gw pingin banget going somewhere and doing something.

But in reality is, I cannot! Not for this time and maybe in another weeks or months to come. 

Seriously, i feel so anxious.  I try to sleep early, but i cannot closed my eyes at all. I keep on thinking bout my first day working, which will be on this Friday. Rasa2nya deg2an parah. Nervous, worried and overexcited. Semuanya campur aduk jadi satu. Gw merasa that I need to ensure everything are well prepared, but on the other hand, I really don't know what to prepared first. Aneh kan?!

Whatever-lah, yang penting selama masa menunggu dengan deg2an ini, gw yakin, gw percaya, gw bisa dan selalu mengucap Bismillah!

Weekly Recap - Aug #1

Holla All,

So it's August 13 already. See, time moves so fast and our life surely flying so high *i hope*.

Aniwei, before i jump into the recap, I would like to say;

Selamat Hari Raya Idul FItri 1434 H

Minal Aidin Wal Faidzin, Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Batin

So how's you Eid Mubarak holiday going on? Pasti masih banyak nih yang tetep asyik menikmati liburannya di kampung halaman masing2? Jangan lupa jaga kesehatannya ya karena this week, everything will be back to normal again. red: mulai kerjaaa!

My holiday? Hhhmm..nothing special. Why? karena gw ndak punya kampung! So ga ada tuh yang namanya acara pulang kampung every lebaran, dan berhubung nyokap-bokap tertua, alhasil selama lebaran kita juga hampir gak pernah ninggalin rumah.

Dan lebaran kali inipun gak ada bedanya. Tapiiiii...satu hal yang pasti beda adalah, first time ever in my life, gw berlebaran hari pertama di kasur! Yups, after one month kurang tidur, begadang, telat makan, gak olahraga dan gak minum vitamin. Alhasil pas di malam takbiran, badan gw tumbang dan drop seada-adanya. The next morning ketika semua orang siap2 sholat Ied, gw terpaksa laying down in bed with super high fever and shaking, thus ketika kelar sholat gw buru2 langsung dibawa ke klinik 24jam. 

Menyedihkan? indeed..tapi ini semua memang karena kelalaian gw, ke-tidak care-an gw sama badan sendiri, dan untungnya pas gw tumbang, gw ada dirumah, jadi banyak yang ngurusin ^^. Dan untuk 2 hari berikutnya, gw terpaksa menghindari es-esan, santen2an, pedes2an dan manis2an. Sengsaraaa!

Itulah sedikit intro tentang persiapan gw menghadapi lebaran tahun ini. Hari2 sebelumnya what happened?

My Life

Doing great, and im seriously super duper nervous menjelang my first day of working after several months hiatus. Geez, i keep on saying to my self that I can do it, I must and i know i'm capable. So, meanwhile, i just need to ensure that everything well prepared.

My Health

As i mentioned earlier, im not that too good. Thus this week is going to be my recovery week. I have to sleep earlier, i need to eat healthier and i need to exercise more.

My B26's

Berhubung on Lebaran anak2 akan pulang kampung semua, thus kita sempet2in untuk hangout bareng2 sampe puash. Dari jjs ke mall nyari2 baju lebaran, nobar Conjuring di Kemang Village, Hanamasa-an, karaokean di FX sampe gegilaan di Prive!

My Haul

I didn't spend anything this month. Sepertinya emang gak banyak yang diperluin dan penghematan juga cyiint. As i already imagine, lebaran nanti pasti ponakan-ponakan gw akan beringas minta recehan, dan udah tau kan anak jaman sekarang, dikasi goceng yang ada di-lepeh sama mereka!

My ETC

Went bukber with Icy at Senayan City after met with Mike di Equity tower dan setelahnya meeting with Hera to accompanying her do the window shopping.  Went Bukber with ex-marina kostan gank at Monviet Kemang Village mall aswell and bla bla bla.

 

My Lebaran Outfit

Akhirnya nemu juga kaftan yang tidak terkesan syahrini-wannabe. Gpp deh agak pasaran, yang penting murce dan pantes dipakenyah :D

xoxo ;)

Make Up Haul - NYX & MAC

Seperti biasa, racun2 yang bertebaran di forum FD bener2 undeniable and unbeatable. Selalu deh setiap ngeliat label treat SALE segede2 bagong, gw langsung kalap pingin ikutan euphorianya juga. So bisa ketebak donk, yang tadinya gak kepengen jadi pengen, yang tadinya gak punya jadi punya, yang tadinya gak perlu jadi perlu..dan ujung2nya, yang tadinya tabungan buanyak..sekarang jadi meniriiisss ^_______^

But well, namanya juga perewong ya mak, urusan dunia perkosmetikan siapa juga yang bisa nolak. Gpp deh splurging mekap lagi walopun yang ada dikamar masih banyak yang belum kesentuh...wong ini diskonnya sampe 40% maaak!!!

Selain NYX, gw juga latah beli 2 eye liner pen merk Jordana yang harga eachnya jadi 60rb sajah. Tapi sayang...I don't like it at all. It's smudge parah dan warnanya gak hitam sama sekali..just a total disappointment!

As for merk berikutnya, which is MAC, kebeli purely karena iseng. Kebetulan lagi nemenin Monce beli bedak, trus pas dia sibuk nanya2 shade ke SAnya, gw iseng donk jajal ini itu, sampe akhirnya gw nyobain pro longwear lipglass-show me! And after I tried it, I knew I've to have it. The color is very beautiful and suits my skin tone and what I like the most is definitely the smell. Gosh, it smells like chocolate..so yeumy yeumy. 

I love everything I've bought so far, and hopefully I can write up the reviews soon. I think NYX is fast becoming my favourite makeup brand. All of their products I've tried so far have been such good quality, and with very reasonable price too ;)

Happy Eid Mubarak
