Random Post in December

Holla all,

Soooo..it's December already, almost near to the year end yaa..

Bener2 deh yaa, belakangan ini feeling gw bener2 no where near on excited making new post or writing something. Guilty as charged! yeah, yeaah..I know sesadar2nya kalo gw udah males banget ngurusin blog ini :(

Bukan hanya karena gak ada bahan cerita, tapi juga karena gw bener2 udah gak ada waktu untuk konsentrasi didepan kompi. Kerjaan sih as always makin hari makin banyak dan ndaaak pernah selesai, new chores always come once one has done! geeez

Tapi ya gimana, namanya orang kerja, kalo ndak mau cape dan stress, yaudah resign aja dan leyeh2 dirumah. Well, I've been there and done that, and trust me, nothing is more stressful than doing nothing...especially for almost 4 months (curhaaat).

So ketika sekarang ketemu sama kerjaan bertumpuk, yaudah dibawa have fun aja. Kapan waktu overload, I choose to go down stairs, order some ice coffee and grab some ciggie. Trus lanjut lagi deh kerja (routines..rountines).

Besides kerjaan, kehidupan yang lain so-so aja, kebetulan kemarin ndak banyak kemana-mana juga, badan bawaannya udah keburu cape mau ngapa2in. Rasa2nya ketika udah sampe rumah, pinginnya langsung istirahat ples tidur.

But lately, I've been craving for a trip, yups, a short or long trip, holiday or getaway. Anything yang beda, suasana dan pemandangannya. I wanna wake up in a completely different place, having a different b'fast and seeing diiferent people in the morning. I just need something different in my daily life nowadays.

Everything just feels bland and boring, always the same and pretty much uninteresting. I feel like I wanna explore to a new place that I've never seen/been before. It must have been very exciting.

But time is my limit, I seriously doesn't have enough time to do that. And what makes it worst is that I haven't found someone that I can take exploring with me either. Sometimes I like to think "why can't I do it all by solo?" but you know what, I am a coward (not most of the time, though) but I always consider there will be noe good trip without a good companion. I miss all of my past trips, I wanna doing it all again. And the only person that I can rely on is in really really really busy moment. #getooknihAy!

Jadiii ya gini deeh, setiap saat gw cuma bisa berharap ada waktu untuk bisa melakukan dan melihat hal2 baru setiap harinya. Saving my money (yea right) untuk planning another trip.  Dan stay healthy to fulfill that.

Sulwashoo 1st Beauty Class in Indonesia

Hi all, this time I will post about the first beauty class that I've ever attend and also being invited to :p

The event was held by the famous skin care brand from Korea called Sulwashoo and the biggest women online community in Indonesia called Female Daily. They selected 20 lucky women/FD member to attend this exciting event and luckily I'm one of them.

The event took place at Palalada Restaurant at Grand Indonesia Mall.

I arrived there around 9AM (niat beneerr) karena ndak mau telat dan pingin dapet bangku paling depan. Nah berhubung eke datengnya niat bener, alhasil malah mati gaya mau ngapain dulu pas sampe sana. Untungnya si Kopi Shop kecintaan udah buka, alhasil gw nunggu2 cantik disitu dulu deeh. The event start at 11AM and the registration opens at 10.30AM, so around 10.15AM I went upstair to register. To my surprise, ada Mak DearMimie disana, waah senengnya bisa ketemuan ma geng tas MK. Setelah ngobrol2, kita langsung diminta untuk masuk kedalam.

After chatting with DearMimie, I realized that Sulwashoo is one of the most high-end brand in Korea, she even said that it is better than SKII. Honestly speaking, I'm not the kind of person that really care about skincare because I always think that I don't have too much problem with it. Tapi berhubung umur udah lewat kepala 3, mustinya sih gw lebih concerned ya, thus ketika dapat undangan tentang acara ini, gw super excited dan penasaran donk.

Suasana di Beauty class ini bener2 simple tapi mewah (sesuai lah sama image brandnya) dan kita juga disambut oleh welcoming snack and drinks (karena terlalu semangat, ndak ada satupun tuh cemilannya yg gw sentuh -__-).

 

Acara dimulai dengan kata sambutan dari salah satu co-founder Female Daily yaitu Affi dan Brand Manager Sulwashoo. Ketika denger penjelasan yang bilang ini adalah beauty class Sulwashoo perdana di Indonesia, gw makin happy aja donk.

Setelah sambutan, kita langsung menuju demo pemakaian skincare yang baik dan benar. Demo ini dipraktikkan ke model yang emang udah dari sononya keceh berat, jadi pas pake Sulwashoo..wah makin cantik aja deh.

  

 

Kelar demo, now its our turn untuk praktekin step by stepnya. Overall ada 9 series/produk yang "harusnya" kita pakai. Mulai dari cleansing oil, toner, first care serum, moisturizer, balancing water, eye cream, sunblock, fondi sampe ke compact powdernya. Masing2 produk itu bener2 bikin amazed. Ketika pertama kali di apply ke muka, kulit rasanya bener2 jadi lembut dan kenyal, dan bau ginseng nya itu looh..bener2 nenangin dan smell sooo fresh. 

Kalo ditanya suka, wah suukkkaa buanget2 dan rasa2nya malah pingin semuanya deeh. Tapiiiiiii, pas dijelasin harga masing2nya....gw shocked! Ada satu serum muka ukuran 50ml yang harganya bisa sampe 8jt-an!!! Gilaaaa yaaaaa...tapiiiii eh tapiiiii...dimana-mana ada harga pasti ada rupa donk. Dengan produk seharga kaya gitu, mereka bisa guarantee kalo hasilnya pasti sebagus harganya donk. Buktinya, sangking bagusnya produk ini, Ibu Negara Korea berani menjadikan Sulwashoo sebagai buah tangan setiap ada acara2 kenegaraan. So, tidak menutup kemungkinan produk yang kita pakai waktu itu juga dipakai oleh Ibu-Ibu negara peserta APEC juga. Canggih kaan.

After tried and tested itulah, gw langsung keracunan eye creamnya, Face care serumnya dan terutama serumnya. #marimenabung

Selesai praktik, acara dilanjutkan dengan makan siang yang yummy. Dan by end of the event, kita semua dapet goodie bag (yaaay) yang isinya starter kit Sulwashoo dooonk...

 

Ahhhh, senaaangnyaa ;) 

Thank you so much Female Daily and Sulwashoo for invited me here, it was such an awesome event, knowledge and of course awesome goody bag.

Update Up to Me

Holla all, apa kabar semuanya? smoga baik2 aja ya. Berhubung udah musim hujan, kesehatan musti dijaga dengan baik dan jangan lupa nyetok vit C yaaa.

So how's life treating me so far? It's treating me very well, Alhamdulillah.

Setiap hari rasa2nya semakin baik dan Insya Allah untuk seterusnya seperti ini.

My Life

Nothing much really, just same routines; work, friends and family. Not that I will say bad things about it, but semuanya just so-so. Ada kalanya bosen ngelakuin the same thing over and over again, tapi ada kalanya juga, gw berharap tetep begini aja karena I'm just too scared to face something beyond my capability. So, yeah, life doing great.

My Work Life

I try my hardest to enjoy every single time of it; the ups and downs. The deadlines, the stressful situations and of course the complicated and annoying demand. Tapi, that's what work life is all about. You come to the office, note everything you need to do, try to finalize everything in one day, but during that time, sometimes thing doesn't work out as you expected to be. It's just so many things that needs to adjust, the environment, discussion and habits. But, i'm so okay with it. Some of them are actually very nice persons though.

My Social Life

Again, been here and there. Biasanya sih after office hour time or during the weekend. Met temen2 Arisyong Rempong, hangout with Cely, dinner with Licy, lunch with Hera, kondangan with Nita and Malming-an ma BBP. Standard2 aja.

My Mini Haul

Beberapa bulan ini gw berusaha untuk menahan beli2 sesuatu yang gak guna karena gw punya tujuan yang lebih besar. So selain beli 2 stel Zara blazer -yang harganya udah gak kira2 itu- kayaknya gw belum kepikiran untuk beli2 yang lain deh. *sambil ngebayangin si MK Hamilton satchel pearl grey -___-

As you know, semenjak kurs dollar dan euro naik, apa2 serba mahal. Jangannya beli langsung di outletnya, lewat online pun ndak kalah mahalnya. So sementara ini kalo ndak bener2 ngebet dan drooling sampe kebawa mimpi, gw udah cukup puas dengan apapun yang gw punya. *niatnya sih gitu ;p

My Exercise

Haahaha..kalo yang ini siih godaannya beraat bangeet. Padahal tempat gym udah disediain gratis dan jaraknya cuma sejengkal doank, tapi niat dan motivasinya itu loooh. Koq ya rasa2nya mau pake sepatu gym dan doing treadmill malesnya setengah mati. Dalam hati sih pingin dilakuin lagi next month, but we will see. *semangka Anggiiee!!!!

My Family

Gw juga lagi seneng2nya balik ke rumah bonyok nih, kebetulan baru ada new baby boy dirumah, so bawaanya kangeen melulu untuk ciyum2 dan peyuk2. His hame is Dicky, the little bro of Dika. Dan Alhamdulillah, bonyok baik2 dan sehat2 juga semuanya.

My B226 Life

Akhir2 ini kita udah jaraaang banget ketemu dan ngumpul2 by the pool karena rata2 udah pada balik malem semua, jadi kalo mau kumpul2 juga udah keburu cape duluan. Sampe akhirnya, kita dadakan atur waktu untuk ketemuan after office hour dan headed to Lucy in The Sky. Dari situ kita balik ke kostan dan lanjut free entry di X2. Kegiatan kaya gini sih itungannya langka dan jarang banget gw lakuin, tapi berhubung besoknya libur dan si BBP seems doesn't mind, jadi berangkutlah kita semua.

We do had a terrific night ;)

I'm Back to Mega Kuningan

Hiks..sedih deh ngeliat keadaan blog-ku ini. It's been too freaking long I didn't post anything, well, since FD-Urban Icon gathering sih tepatnya, dan itupun more than a month ago :(

I am very very busy...that is seriously my best excuse. This new job has been really taking the toll out of me. I never had a chance to post, let alone thinking some idea and spare my time sitting in front of my laptop and start to write. No idea at all, I'm stuck!

Tapi waktu 2 bulan udah cukup lah untuk menyadarkan gw to start posting again, gpp lah isinya gitu2 doank (udah biasa itu mah Gie) yang penting kan quota-nya tercukupi #eeh #dikiraolshop :p

So, where should I start ya? Hhmm...work life? not interesting? well, I will still gonna write though! (inget, kuota!) lol

Kerjaan ampuuunn dijeh! Secara it's a start up company yang notabene karyawannya baru segelintir doank, ples gw juga langsung diamprokin kerjaan yang berhubungan ma proyek senilai em-em-an (embeer) tanpa orientasi sama sekali, yah udah pasti overwhelmed lah. Satu kelar, masih ada a bunch of list to do next. Bener2 never ending tasks! Wong orang lokalnya aja cuma bertiga, alhasil semua2nya musti bisa multitasking. Gw yang awalnya 'hanya" act as Exec Asst, mendadak jadi musti ngerjain kerjaan marketing dan business development. Belum lagi urusan pindahan kantor yang cukup nyita waktu gw untuk survey lokasi, bikin komparasi dan compile semuanya into spreadsheet lengkap dengan range harga per zone. It may sounds complicated, but it is. Ini semua sebenernya ndak akan terjadi seandainya aja si boss bisa sedikit ber-toleransi dengan keadaan Jakarta. Sayangnya he didn't. Well, it's a very long story, kalo dijabarin, kayaknya gw musti bikin satu post terpisah dengan judul "curhatan tentang si Boss" #appeeeu

Aside from curhatan kerjaan yang ndak selesai2 itu, akhirnya kantor gw pindah juga. Dari daerah super elite di SCBD, sekarang gw musti balik ke daerah Mega Kuningan, yang mana udah berusaha gw tinggalin dari sekitar 2 tahun yang lalu ketika gw kerja di shipping company di Menara Prima. 

Bubye 2 sided -awesome- view and welcoming the only one sided -not bad- view ^_^

 

Rasanya gimna Gie balik lagi ke daerah -lingkaran setan- itu? Hhmmm...bener2 like hell! I mean, literally, macetnya jalan Denpasar pas after office hour bener2 bikin gw darah tinggi dan sutres tingkat dewa! Gilaa banget macetnya. Gw pikir ndak akan pernah balik lagi ke daerah sini, ternyataa..here I am, cursing and shouting every single day on every inch of the road every time i stuck in jam. Gak berest banget deeh.

Tapi yaaa, no complaint-lah, wong keputusan pindah kesitu awalnya kan dari gw juga. Secara si Boss tetep insist untuk pake jasa serviced office dulu for the first one year before we're planning to lease a real office space. And the decision has been made based on time wise, cost wise, good deal plus lokasinya yang berada ditengah2 antara 2 project office kita, alhasil done deal lah kita moved to Menara Karya.

Being in the new office and the only woman, pastinya rempong to the max. Belum lagi musti ngurusin 3 orang bule yang 2 diantaranya punya karakter high demand dan ngeyel gak ketulungan. Tiap hari gw musti pinter2 nyari kata2 untuk bisa nimpalin 'ke-sotoy-an mereka gitu deh. Gggrrr!

But anyway, so far, gw masih bisa ngatasinnya koq, and I think I can catch up and go along with the new pace quite well. So I guess it's not such a big deal.

Oher than working life, my social life is doing great too. Teteup lah isinya kongkow2 ga genah, temu kangen, ngerumpi, ngeracun dan ngambur2in duit #hedon! tapi itulah hiburannya orang kerja bukan? spend time with bunch of friends, ngobrol ngalor-ngidur, as long as it makes me happy, I don't mind at all.

PS: Akhirnya bisa mampir2 lagi ke tempat2 konkow sekitaran Mega Kuningan dan melipir2 ke Ambass sampe muntah...LOL

Female Daily-Urban Icon Blogger Gathering

Aaahhh..akhirnya, bisa juga gw nyempet2in colongan waktu untuk bikin post -even cuma sebiji inih-. And post kali ini nothing to do with haul, blazer, nail polish, let alone wishlist. This time, gw cuma mau nulis tentang how happy I am to be a part of a very interesting and fun event ever.

 

This event called Female Daily-Urban Icon Blogger Gathering yang diadakan di Senayan City. Alhamdulillah, gw beruntung dapet diundang ke acara ini. Nah berhubung ini adalah gathering perdana, so pasti gw excited banget donk..dan klo boleh jujur, aga norak sedikit..karena bener2 gak tau musti ngapain aja. Untungnya sebelum hari H, gw dapet email dari team FD yang ngasi info ttg apa2 aja yang musti dilakukan, such as isi questioner, isi data (udah pasti ini) dan isi wishlist....Ehhh, bagian yang ini beneran looh...gw aja smpe kekaget2 pas baca salah satu pertanyaan yang isinya : "Do you prefer watch or bags?" Hhhmm...jujur ajah, gw GeeR setengah mati karena berasa bakalan dapetin apa yang disebutin. Daaaan berhubung diriku kemaruk (LOL) gw jawab aja : "Frankly speaking, both. But for now, I'm eyeing for the new MK or MJ watch" Jawaban yang gak singkat, gak padat dan keciri banget kepengennya..hihihi :p

Setelah selesai isi questioner-Pemberi Harapan-itu. Kita juga diminta untuk tweet tentang acaranya sambil mention #FDUrbanIcon sebelum, during dan tentunya sesudah event. Trus nih yaaah, yang paling bikin geer gila2an adalah, satu hari sebelum event mereka meminta gw untuk nge-tweet satu item yang paling disukai yang ada di website nya www.urbanicon.co.id ! Well, it's a very though choice, cause yang ada disitu bagus2 dan I want them all. -hush, ndak boleh serakah Anggie!- So yaudaah, I decided to choose this awesome MK watch deeh ^^ #usahamaaak

 

Awesome watch indeed!

Then hari itu datang juga. Pas kebetulan si Boss lagi berbaik hati mengijinkan gw balik cepet, lagsung deh gw cus ke Senayan City. Sampe sana ternyata eke kecepetan, alhasil sempet2in nongkrong2 di Starbucks sampe jam 6.15 and headed to Urban Icon Store di lantai 1.

As you all might probably know, Urban Icon yang di Sency ini dulunya ndak seperti ini interior designnya. It's much gloomy dan terkesan tidak terlalu inviting. Tapi setelah di renov, suasananya berubah 180 derajat. It gives a very thrilling ambiance, you know, very bright, spacious, colorful and the smell, yups..bau tas kulitnya yang khas itu, udah kecium dari jauuh. Urban Icon Store ini menjual berbagai macam tas, dompet dan jam tangan dari brand2 yang sudah tidak diragukan lagi kualitasnya. Salah satunya sudah cencuw brand kesayangan akuh MICHAEL KORS. Design dan mutu dari brand ini sih gak perlu diragukan lagi, wong buktinya baru eksis 5 tahun udah bisa jadi brand jam tangan dengan penjualan terbesar kedua di dunia..canggih yaa. Nah yang lebih gak disangka2 lagi ternyata peringkat pertamanya dipegang oleh FOSSIL looh (aku punya 2-2nya doonk..#bangga).

 

Selain 2 brand besar itu, di Urban Icon juga tersedia produk2 dari brand yang namanya sudah kesohor banget di Eropa -pastinya karena top kualitas, model dan harganya donk- such as IIIBeca (TriBeca), Liebeskind, Olivia Harris, Melie Bianco, Desigual, Gryson, Rip Curl, DKNY, Emporio Armani dan Marc by Marc Jacobs.

Didn't quite familiar with the names? well, that's the point. Urban Icon memang memfokuskan untuk menyediakan produk2 yang one-of-a-kind alias Gak Pasaran. Tapi gak pasaran bukan berarti jadinya ala-ala Haute Couture yang harganya gila2an itu yaa..semua produk yang ada di Urban Icon harganya bener2 sebanding dengan apa yang kita dapetin..it's all worth every penny!

Setelah puas ngeliatin satu2 produk yang ada di Urban Icon Store -sambil bikin wishlist dalam hati- tibalah saatnya MC membuka acara. First kata sambutan dari Matthew Mendelsohn, General Manager for Time International yang merupakan Parent Company dari Urban Icon Store. Jujur aja, gw aga2 setengah menyimak...tapi bukan karena feel bored yaaa...tapi lebih karena kagum, betapa setiap produk yang dijual disini mengemban cerita dan misinya masing2. Pun, karena sekalian sibuk nge-tweet utk sharing semua useful info itu.

Sampe akhirnya, Pak Matt samar2 bilang "waktunya pembagian goodie bags". Kala itu, gw bener2 gak stress dan out of focus. Wanna know why? karena pas lagi nafsu2nya taking picture dan ngetweet, tiba2 aja my iphone run out of battery, dan si BB bergaris meraah poela! mo nangis gak siih! Apalagi pas nyadar orang2 disekeliling gw pada heboh jejeritan kegirangan bilang "OMG..OMG..Alhamdulillah.etc..etc" dan sibuk foto2 barang yang ada dipangkuannya T_____T.

Ternyata nama kita sudah mulai dipanggilin satu2 untuk nerima personalized goody bag khusus dari Urban Icon Store. Dan seketika itu juga semua org mulai heboh sama hadiahnya masing2. Gw liat disamping kiri gw ada yg dapet jam tangan DKNY merah, trus yang disamping kanan dapet tas TriBeca merah...Honestly speaking, gw udah deg2an paraah..masa iya siih, gw akan dapetin jam tangan MK yang gw minta?Are you kidding me?!...Until finally they called my name, diurutan terakhir poela...pas gw liat bungkusannya kecil dan somehow I can recognize that deep brown colored square box, my heart stopped for a sec when I realized that's a Michael Kors Watch box...NO WAAAY!

I extremely excited to open it, until....I saw it....Hhhhmm...I'm a weeeebbbiiiitttt disappointed. It's not that I don't like it, Syukur Alhamdulillah malaah...tapi sayangnya, jam yg ekeh mau is not exactly as in this size..honestly speaking..it was too small for my wrist, and small watch it isn't my cup of tea :(

Well, anyway...udah dapet itu aja senengnya ndak ketulungan..wong denger2 cerita temen2 blogger lain, jarang2 ada yg ngasi hadiah sebesar ini nilainya...jadi Alhamdulillah Ya Allah.

Setelah seisi ruangan heboh dengan hadiahnya masing2 sampe akhirnya diminta dengan hormat untuk calm-down. It's time for Hanzkyy the CEO of Female Daily berbaik hati sharing tips about mix and match berbagai type dan jenis tas untuk kegiatan keseharian kita. Mulai dari tas traveling sampe clutch untuk party. Berhubung eke nubie (again) dalam dunia per-tas-an, so every single words she said, means a lot to me.

Kirain setelah itu acaranya bakalan selesai donk...eh taunya masih lanjut saudara2, dan ndak mungkin ada event without games berhadiah! So they asked us to make group of 4, then they gave us a clue card which then we should find the exact item mentioned on the card. Well, it was kinda chaos karena semua orang heboh liat kesana-kemari dan jalan mundar-mandir..well, DEMI hadiah dari Urban Icon, semua juga dijabanin deeh :p But, too bad, kita kalah sepersekian detik dari pemenang pertama yang beruntung dapetin shopping voucher dari Urban Icon T___T

Kelar games berhadiah, pembagian goodie bags, sharing useful tips, an eye-opening story behind every brands dan nyemal-nyemil, akhirnya kita tiba di akhir acara, dan what better way to end the event than a multiple shots of group photos! CIIISSSS :D

Thank you for Urban Icon, Female Daily dan Michael Kors (kaya kenal ajaah :p) for this opportunity.

Live. Laugh. Love.

Dont let anyone ever break your soul. you have to stand on your own two feet and stand up for yourself. there are those that would give anything to see you fail, but you must never give them the satisfaction. hold your head up high, smile and stand your own ground.

Patience and silence are two powerful energies. Patience makes you mentally strong, silence makes you emotionally strong.

In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different -coco chanel-

Don't judge me till you walk a mile in my shoes or live a day in my life. 

Remember, people who try to bring you down, are already below you

A beautiful face catches the eye, but a beautiful soul conquers the heart.

It is better to be hated for what you are, than to be loved for what you are not.

The key to a happier and positive life is only surrounding yourself with those who appreciate you, talk kindly to you and make you feel better.

Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strenght; mastering yourself is true power.

Understanding yourself is a step towards inner peace, and a step nearer achieving your unfulfilled ambitions.

Being yourself is being confident in who you are. Don't try to be someone that you are not. It shows insecurities within yourself.

Letting go toxic people in your life is a big step in loving yourself.

Amazing Quotes from Dssaks IG

Hello September-Super Late Post

It's been too long, yeah..freaking too long I'm abandoning this blog, almost a month I never post anything. For serious, this couple days has been the most busiest weeks I ever experienced. Not, that I'm complaining or anything, because the truth is, I'm just too carried away with my new challenges, my new environment, my new tasks and responsibilities.

I've to admit, it was terrific. Meeting new people, knowing new things and learning completely out-of-my-mind business. Some might think it's just too much, but 'too much' isn't actually bad if it comes to nourishing your thoughts and stressing your powerful side!

Alhamdulillah....

Life after work, frankly speaking, not much really. It was all because I always came home late everyday, but...I do had several lunch gathering with my MK besties. It's funny how coincidentally one of the MK trit member is working at the same building with me, in fact, her office is just 1 level below me. So, after the previous fun meet up the other day, we always make time to had lunch together. 

w/ Mak Ade

And, the most obvious thing about getting back to work is that now I can wear my blazers again. lol. And yeah, as always, I'm still thinking that I have nothing to wear! So I ended up wearing the same combo over and over again...

 

 

 I seriously need some inspirations here :(
