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 ;)

Nail Polish Haul - OPI Jinx Liquid Sand & Innie Minnie Mighty Bow

Hola all...hope you have a funtastic Tuesday ahead!

This time I am going to write about my other nail polishes haul. So besides Essie, I also bought two new red and orange shades nail polishes from OPI. As you can see, I'd posted the swatches on my Instagram @gie_dazzling.

I know it's so late to post about liquid sand nail polishes, but I just have to. I just wanted to share how much I love it in real life after seeing the swatches only on the internet! 

Liquid sand nail polish is a jelly base glitter polish that when you apply it to your nails, it looks like a jelly polish with glitter in it. However, it dries to a matte, grainy, sandy and rough finish. Sounds cool hu'uh? And my first liquid sand nail polish is called Jinx from the Bond Girls Collection. It consists of six liquid sand polishes, but this one that caught my eyes the most.

Jinx is a bright red-orange with lots of gold and microglitters. The color is just stunning. The formula -as any other OPI polishes- was great. It took only two coats to get the full opacity and no top coat is needed!

Second nail polish is called OPI Innie Minnie Mighty Bow from OPI Couture de Minnie collection. It's a classic candy apple red with strong red and golden micro shimmer for added dimension. The color is very vibrant and extremely saturated. It's completely a different red shade compare to my other red nail polishes. 

I'm so glad to bought these two and add them into my ever-growing nail polishes stash :D

My First Essie Nail Polishes - Avenue Maintain & Naughty Nautical Mini Set

I cannot sleep. It's 6am in the morning yet I cannot closed my eyes even for a while. As you know I'm still off-working and enjoying what being called enjoyable-long-leave, thus I never worried to wake up late, even until past twelve..haha (gak beneer iniiih)

Anywhooo,

Back to the subject lol. After checking my archives, I just realized that I haven't bought any nail polishes since February 13. Geez, its almost 5 months ago. I believe I've missed so many great collections. But since I'm only a Nailpolish junkie-wanna be, i'm not that sad if i missed one or two or even hundreds of great new collections. I'm sure I can always buy them at later time.

During almost 5 months nail polish haul hiatus, around several weeks ago I started to order nail polish again. This time I thinking about buying different brand and that brand was Essie!

Essie is the must-have in nail care. Essie’s multiple prize winning formula is known for its “no-chip” properties, assuring perfect long-lasting coverage. A charming whimsical and distinct name is given to each color to show-off the personality captured by this color.

The brand is so famous amongst nail polish junkie, and I guess I'm the last person who happened to realize it far too long. When everyone has had hundreds of their collections, I've just started thinking to collecting them since last month. *shame on me*

And my first Essie nail polishes was Essie Avenue Maintain from the Madison Ave-Hue collection. It's a medium sky blue shade with cream finish. I never think that I would love this kind of shade, but that chic Parisian blue just caught my eyes and I instantly fell in love with it.

The formula was great, although in my opinion the consistency was a little bit too thick, thus it's a bit trickier to apply than my other nail polishes, but it's still easy. It gave perfect coverage only in 2 coats. The dry time was okay and pretty long lasting. I just got several minor chipped on top of my nails after more than 5 days and after doing the dishes *no complaint to that, though! 

As always, I ordered the nail polish through online shopping at MP-FD Lena, since they're not available yet here in Indonesia.

My upcoming Essie nail polish would be the Summer 2013 Naughty Nautical Mini Set collection, which I hope will be arrived soon in few more days. I decided to buy this because of the pretty shimmer and only just one set, I can get 4 awesome colors to try on. I can't wait!

Like a B26!

Hi All, 

Yang lagi berpuasa, sudah kelar sahurkah? kalo bisa, please stay awake a little longer and wait for subuh to come and jangan lupa do the subuh pray yaa. After that..silahkeun dilanjut bobo2 cantiknya.

Me? berhubung gada kerjaan, alhasil gw udah menjelma jadi manusia kalong yang cuma bisa merem ketika matahari udah nangkring dengan cantiknya..so yeah..I'm not sleepy at all rite now. In fact, I can even do a blog post!

Post kali ini cuma mau cerita2 betapa seru dan hebohnya temen2 kostan gw yang baru ini. Each person came from a different background, which means they all have a different character as well. I cannot mention person to person, but to my opinion, everyone complements to each other. 

Ada yang talkative, ada yang passive, ada yang aggressive dan ada yang impulsive. They're all unique in their own ways. As for myself, I can always become anything depends on the needs and situations. Even long before I moved to the new kostan, I've always been appointed as person in charge for every kostan event, gathering, hangouts and even break fasting together. I dunno if it's because my natures, or its because I'm the oldest (though, Im not proud of it -__-). It's seems they all understand that I loved being in charge. Likewise in the new kostan!

I love arranging things, organizing people and of course gathering people to know one another. It is fun how most of us can get together pretty well. We all can mingle and laughed at any kind of jokes. Thus no wonder if I mostly spent my weekend with some or most of them.

Especially during this holy month, where we always wake up for sahur together and sometimes did iftar outside our kostan. It was fun indeed!

Our first Girls Night Out.

Our first karokoe time and closing-an :p

During fasting month and farewell Gani Si anak Medan :(

Such a short period of time, yet there are so many story has been shared amongst us. I do hope our friendship will last forever.

Btw, rata2 dari kita berasal dari luar Pulau Jawa. Ada si wong kito gilo, ada si Nasution dan ada si Papilaya yang ternyata aslinya adalah keturunan Jawa dan India *rollingeyes*. For me, that's a good news, karena pasti akan banyak oleh2 mudik dari mereka semua nanti (ngareps ya cyiint).

Weekly Recap - July #4

Ahhhh, aku melu deeh..bulan ini postingan longkap-longkap gak kira-kira. Dari weekly recap #1, tau2 udah weekly recap #4 ajuaah. #2 & #3 nya maneeeeh?!

Well, to be frank, being so-called off-work person, gw jadi kebablasan rajin begadang nih. Hampir tiap hari dari awal puasa sampe detik ini, ndak pernah absen tidur setelah langit terang (dibaca - jam 7am keatas) Bad..Bad! I know..tapi gimana duonk, secara temen2 kostan udah ketergantungan ma gw untuk ngebangunin mereka sahur, alhasil gw jadi kepikiran kalo seandainya gw sampe ketiduran (care cekalih). So itung2 nambah pahala, gw gak worried deh kalo mata sampe berubah jadi mata panda..demi ituuh..demi!

Dan, itu adalah salah dua alesan gw ndak bisa posting2, karena gw selalu bangun tengari bolong, alhasil mau kemana2 juga udah males, nah kalo gak kemana2, udah tentu gak ada juga yang menarik buat diceritain bukan?! Intinya siih, emang gada yang menarik in my daily life recently.

Speaking of which, another reason why I rarely post anything is because; gw akan lebih banyak posting tentang haul ajuaah. Lama2 ndak enak juja kalo post isinya cuma nafsu konsumerisme doank, rasanya menyesal gimanaa gituuh. Yah abis hiburan dikostan kan cuma internet kenceng and processor lappy yang ngacir. Awalnya niat gw cuma mau blogwalking, eh ujung2nya ngecek FD daaaaan tau2 nyasar ke forum2 racun yang ujung2nya mengarahkan gw ke MP yang pada pasang judul thread SALE segede2 bagong! Kelar deh tuh semua urusan menguras tabungan dan dompet!

Padahaal, mulai kerja aja belumaan, eh ini udah spending2 (bilangnya sih untuk menyambut kerjaan baru - tapi mustinya gak gitu juga kaleeee) Yaudahlahyah, jadi nyesek nih ngebayanginnya..apalagi pas kemarin ngobrol2 ma si Celz, ya koq gw malah pingin cancel aja itu PO di lapak (pengen di BLACKLIST Gie!!)

Wokeeeh, guess I blabbering waaay tooo much! Can we just on to the recap then!

On My Life

I always imagining my life as a remarkable life. I wouldn't complaint no matter what had happened. Mau seberapa sedih, senang dan kecewa, gw selalu menganggap itu sesuatu yang akan jadi bagian dari story of my life. Thus my life will always be LEGEN...wait for it...DARY!

On My Health

Alhamdulillah si sakit pinggang udah mulai berkurang nyerinya, tapi kapan waktu batuk2, tetep berasa ngilu disebelah kanan. Well, mungkin gw akan coba ngecek sekali lagi to ensure my self. Meanwhile, I just got a cold. I've been sneezing all day long. Maybe it's because lack of sleep (yaeyalah) and lack of vitamins -__-  also, I think i'm about to have a sorethroath nih, nelen udah ndak enaaak...(hadeeuh..koq ringkih amat ini bodyh) *buru2 nelen esterc sekali 2*

On Spending My Weekend

Went here and there with bunch of friends, mostly with my kostan friends. Where to? where else if it's not to the MALL! Especially prior to the Ied Fitri celebrations. Who wouldn't want to check what kind of kaftan style for this year is and how much would it be (ketauan banget deh). Although at the end I didn't buy any kaftan at all, and ended up buying other than what has been planned for *sigh. 

On Trying To Do a New Thing

I Cook. I literally went to the kitchen, slicing something and cook *for serious* This was something I never did for years...You don't believe it? Neither do I, but somehow I did. It was all my kostan idea. She just had this kind of awkward mind to cooking for iftar menu last weekend. So she went to the market, bought pasta, mushroom and so on and asked my other kostan friend to helped her out in the kitchen, including me of course! So there I am, standing gawky in the kitchen without knowing what to do. Until she asked me to slice sausages. Hahahah...seriously, I hardly remember when was the last time I ever touch a knife and cut/slicing something. But she made me do it and I can't help myself to keep giggling while slicing. LAME -I Know-

To my surprise, being in the kitchen was not a bad thing at all, especially when you're with bunch of rempong besties that mostly just messing the kitchen instead of cooking in orderly. LOL

On Exercise(s)

Haaaaaa...during this fasting month, I must say Good Bye to gym and kostan swimming pool. Gak ada tenaganya booo. Padahal yaaa, niatnya setelah buka pingin ramean ngegym setengah jam buat ngebakar kalori makanan berbuka yang penuh gula dan karbohidrat itu. Tapi teteuup ya ceu, rencana tinggal rencana. Wong abis makan bawaannya malah lemes dan ngantuk duluan! Jadii, setelah puasa harus back to normal lagi niih..half hour a day minimum pokoknya! *pasangikatkepala*

Selebihnya? Menunggu hari kemenangan datang tanpa ada tanda2 transferan THR (hahahaha..ketawa miris karena ngareps). But it's okay, rejeki gak akan kemana bukan? Sooo..ada yang mau transfer THR ke sayaaah?? *ngareps duakali*

Met Berpuasa dan semoga lancar puasanya yaaaaa....

End - 06.00

Weekly Recap - July #1

Alhamdulillah, I'm done with my sahur and it's time to wait for Subuh Pray. While waiting for it, I think it's better if I start to post another weekly recap (akhirnya!) It's been quite a long time I haven't post about weekly recap! Frankly speaking, I felt too overwhelmed with lots of thoughts, plans, ideas, what-to-do(s) on my head. As you may probably know, I've been out-of-work for this several weeks. Don't ask why, because it was my decision, and honestly speaking, Insya Allah I would never regret it. I do believe 'rejeki tidak akan tertukar" and selama kita terus berusaha dan berdoa, Insya Allah juga semuanya akan menjadi baik!

So yeah, one of the reasons I skipped so many weekly recap is because of that; I don't have enough story to tell because there's nothing to be told. My daily life was so-so. I spent most of my 'santai' day by staying at new kostan, browsing here and there, going out with him or her, and helping out BBP on his project; like went to this super fancy home decor store and raising my eye brows every time he asked me to buy that "not-so-picturesque" coffee table for a price of my kostan rent for a year! Blaaah! But well, I kinda liked it though. I think it's quite interesting. I learned a lot from BBP's job, I understand a little bit about how to make RAB for interior design project, I learned how to negotiate the curtains price and I also get the chance to know that there are sooo many "unreasonable-price" furniture out there, which surprisingly salable. Other than that, sorry to disappoint you..but, it was all boring! 

But then again, if I start to write another weekly recap, it could be mean something aite? whether I finally had a story to be told or I experienced something enticing. Both, I must say. I feel like I wanna write everything right now. 

So let's give it a start then!

On My Life

"Eventually all the pieces fall into place. Until then, laugh at the confusion, live for the moment and know everything happens for a reason"

"Sometimes we need to thanked for one closed door as it will leads us to a new open door"

"When someone shows faith in you, you feel like you are worth it. Which is why when we are encouraged, we all blossom.

"If you never challenge yourself, you will never know your potential"

On My Health

Alhamdulillah semoga selalu sehat yaa..bhuuhbhuuh *suara nyembur* Amiin. So far my complaint was never been far from low back pain. I've checked to a good -Harvard Uni Graduated- Doctor at Rumah Sakit Jakarta the other day, and after several examinations and rontgen' results, he said that my spinal column was okay and that there's nothing wrong with my bone structure nor the spinal cord. So it's actually only because of my incorrect postures! The way I sit and the way I stand that can also trigger the LBP. Thus, starting from there I began to sit and standing straight. I also started to doing some stretching exercises such as pilates and yoga. Not much, just once or twice a week, but regularly. I do hope it works...Amiin (lagi)

On  My Social Life

I've done plenty of hangouts! (AGeJeH) Yeaah, being so-called-out-of-work-person does feels so great. I meant, when else can I get a chance slept and woke up super late if not being that person?! When else can I go out without worrying that my boss will suddenly call me just to check his flight (which I already reminded him several minutes ago) or when else can I do mall hopping, groceries hunting or even window shopping on a weekday if I am not that person?! So, I am glad with what ever decision I made. Although I realized that the laid back and the leisurely feeling wouldn't last forever. Sooner or later, I will miss all the manic-monday feeling, the morning routines, the deadlines (really?!!) and those 'at wits end' chores. And most importantly, I will miss my working attire, my lovely blazers! But I believe that it doesn't last forever either. Insya Allah, everything I miss will soon be coming true. *crossing my fingers* Until then, I will make time for my besties and brady bunchs as much as possible I can.

On Make Me Happy

Do I really need to explain this? seriously? you want to know? hokay..what makes me happy? shopping, get new things, owning dreaming things, surrounded by lovely friends, family gathering and of course seeing my parents healthy. But I'm not gonna to talk about that one by one though. Cause what I want to explain in here is just my passion for doing online shopping (not-to-be-followed) Recently I've been receiving so many new things from my previous mini hauls. Clothing, cosmetics, skincare even shoes. Geez, I spent quite a lot for this month only and I guess it wouldn't stop in a near time, as I am still on the hunt for that gorgeous, gorgeous, MK Hamilton Red Bag and the Zara Tartan Blazer. I've been dreaming about the bag for several days, thus it's so obvious that I really want it badly. So if somebody would ever care to ask (if) what makes me happy -for now- it's definitely if I can get those 2 dream items on my hands, right now, right this instance! *sepele amat ya itemnya..LOL*

On My New Activity

I don't dare to commit myself for any long-term commitment right now. I've had so many things going on in my head. Therefore, I really need to rethink and reconsidered everything all over again. But, for now on, taking that after office or weekend classes would not be a good decision! So, my new activity is as simple as mall hopping and searching furniture for BBP projects ajuaah :D

On My Future Wishes

Insya Allah, next month I'll be joining one of the well-esteemed construction company from US that just been established in Indonesia. I definitely have a lot of hopes in this new promising career path. Thus, I will surely carry out my biggest effort to it. So wish me luck ya...AMIN!

 Caiyoo Gie!

Crazy Random March Haul

Sangking excitednya sama bulan March, I think I should do something to pleased my self nih. So what could've been better than to get my self new things a.k.a shopping :p

And as a starter, my first haul was related to gadgets. Gegara kejadian kemalingan satu bulan yang lalu, I've lost everything from my macair, ipon, bb and harddisk. It was very devastating, but i try to be ikhlas and Alhamdulillah, gw punya rejeki untuk bisa beli lagi yang lebih baik dari sebelumnya.

Since i really need a laptop, thus i decided to buy a new one. And after searching, browsing, comparing, viewing and asking several references, my option goes to Asus ZenBook UX32VD. It is said that this ultrabook is better than Macbook Air. I actually planning to buy another macair, but somehow I traumatize if i lost it again..so yeah, i choose this one instead.

Next is a another ipon so i can be reached to several numbers. We all know BB is getting lame lately, thus i really cannot rely my whole connection to that one gadget only.

Then, my PO clothing came from Pheebs. 2 red blouses from Zara. I actually love them both because they were Red, but the plain short shirt was my least fave. It has a blink2 accent on its sleeve that makes it looks too much for me, and after checking, this was actually not what i ordered, but well, gpp lah..wong udah nyampe. Other than that, i also bought a pair of jeans polkadot t-shirt and pants from Levi's. 

 

And the most craziest haul i ever made for this month was the shoes haul. Geez, it makes my dizzy afterwards. How in the world I can be this crazy, buying 4 pairs of shoes in two days in a row! But my self-defense alarm gets On by saying..i love them all, i need them all and they were all on sale! *enoughsaid

As for beauty haul? not much really. But I was looking for another eyeliner as a replacement for my Maybelline gel eyeliner which already run out and drying. I've read several review about this cheap local product called Pixy Eyeliner and finally i got it. Besides Pixy, i also bought the new eyeliner from L'Oreal called Super Liner-Ultra Sharp. And boy, how I'm so amazed with its result. Maybe i will make a review on it later *maybe :p

As for the lips, gw latah beli NYX Lip Smacking-Frappucino (another nude lippen..aish) gegara temen mampir ke counter NYX untuk beli eye brow definer. 

Skin care haul was my third bottle of L'Oreal Youth Code. I'm freakingly crazy in love with this product and i can surely tell that its really works on my skin.

Lastly, stopping by at F21 GI to do a window shopping and got myself a bright red summer blouse and a set of 3 fancy rings for only IDR 69k. Sweet! 

After that, start to saving from all over again! Kalo kata petugas Pertamina "mulai dari nol ya"!!!

This is my month, My Fiery March

it's been too long..toooo long malah. Feb has ended and it almost mid of March. Ga nyangka waktu cepet banget berjalan. 

U see, I always feel excited every time March is coming. Yups, you are so right, i will celebrating my birthday on this month, but every year the excitement becomes less and less. Well, maybe it's because I realize that I'm getting older.

But Alhamdulillah, apapun yang terjadi, keep on positive aja.

So, hows life on my side lately? as always nothing much really. I've made a huge decision regarding my career and work life. Yups, i think it is so wrong to be in a comfort zone for too long. It is not good if everything seems to be too smooth. Some said "if it's too good to be true, maybe it's because it isn't".

Next, i will do my best to make my whole life change differently.

Other than that? I also thinking about having a solo trip to someplace in Indonesia. It doesn't necessarily far nor expensive, I just need to be in a quite place doing nothing and enjoying life. 

But (but melulu) i really cannot leave all my plans behind, even for a while. I need to continue what I've planning and what I must do. Conclusion, skip the thought of solo trip then!

So what next? Hhhhmmm..apa yaaaa?? counting the days maybe :p

Weekly Recap - Feb #3

Makin hari sepertinya posting WR gw makin ngaco..yang awalnya udah commit musti dipost every Friday or latest Monday, eeeh ini bisa sampe ke hari Kamis baru nulis (bad..anggie..bad!)

To be frank, this week kondisi badan gw lagi kacaw balaw nih, udah 2 hari bedrest dan tudai gw tetep maksain ke kantor for the sake of posting WR (boong denk!)

Okay, biarpun telat, tapi atleast gw rajinlah nulis sampe gak bolong2, malah sepertinya lebih enak nulis weekly posting gini, jadi day to day kejadiannya di-sum aja. Ringkes, praktis dan gak ngebanyak2in post (alesan yang aneh!)

So how's On Office Life Gie?

Doing great, or should I say..Oke-lah. Gak banyak juga yang bisa diceritain diblog, palingan kalo ada yang beda, either I get promoted or I resign. So sebelum salah satu dari 2 hal itu terjadi, my work life doing juusst fine :D

On Health, how how?

Ringkiih buanget nih body sayaah. Padahal seumur2 gak pernah seringkih ini loh. Faktor 'U' kali yaa..kena flu dikit tepar, kena radang dikit panas tinggi, kena batuk dikit langsung rontok pertahanan badan...geez I dont like this, semuanya2nya jadi keganggu :(

Padahal udah minum obat dan minum vitamin. Tapi emang kuakui tidur dan istirahatnya masih berantakan, belum lagi kurang makan sayur dan buah. So Gie, cepetan ke Foodhall sana and take sayur and buah (dalam bentuk jusss boleh kaaan :p)

Is There Anything Happened on New Things?

Such as what nih? Kalo makanan, iya! For the first time ever akhirnya gw bisa juga ngerasain makanan Korea (yaaayaayaaa) As I mentioned earlier, gw paling males namanya jajal2 makanan baru yang gw gada gambarannya sama sekali. Si BBP ratusan kali ngajakin tapi bablaas (getok!) So dengan modal diskon BNI 50%, jadilah gw, Icy, Lily and Shu2 ke Han Gang Senci. 

Namanya perdana, gw udah keburu sibuk ngeliatin makanannya duluan instead of eating. Belum lagi pere2 yang pergi ma gw adalah pere2 pencinta Korea-thingy. So bisa ditebak, tiap ada satu makanan keluar gw langsung dikasi petunjuk dan how-to nya..Seruu siih, cumaaaa...gw kapan makaaannya inih?! ^^.

New places? Yups...lagi2 gw terdampar disuatu tempat berisi mommy2 socialite yang heboh ber-tango dan ber-cacaca ria. Honestly, gw suka berada disitu, tempatnya asyik, makanannya enak dan most importantly, jarang2 kan bisa ngeliat pertunjukan tango live in front or our eyes..So, no complaint here :) esp when they pulled me to try dancing salsa!Daarn..isin bo -__-

Cute things? Pas lagi iseng muter2 FoodHall, tiba2 aja mata gw tertumpu ke sesuatu yang uber cute. Nah sebagai orang yang anti dapur alias anti masak, seeing this recipes di-packing dan disajikan seperti ini lucuu jugaaa ya, praktis, ringkes dan easy breezy...rasa2nya pingin buru2 punya dapur dan masaak deeh...sumpah unyuw! 

Alsoo..nemu Noodle cup korea yang endang bambang gulindang. Pedesnya pas, rasanya pas dan mienya ga gampang megar..nomnomnom!

On Mini Haul

Oiya, gegara iseng mau nyari Pixy Gel eyeliner dan tidak nemu. Akhirnya gw iseng donk beli Acnes Acne Cream. Krim ini dibeli untuk menghilangkan jerawat2 yang membandel disekitar jidat dan dagu gw. Awalnya gw sempet kepingin beli Clean&Clear, tapi menurut BAnya, lebih baik pilih Acnes karena dia lebih spesifik fungsinya untuk jerawat, selain itu dia juga diciptakan khusus untuk kulit orang asia. Dan berhubung harganya juga murah meriah. Tak bungkus-lah si cream beserta oil sheetnya. Gw seumur2 emang gak pernah sekalipun pake kertas minyak, tapi gegara pake fondi Facifinity MaxFactor, mau ga mau perlu juga ngantongin ini ditas.

On Impulsive Buy

Diskoon, dari yang tadinya hanya Rp. 399.000 jadi Rp. 199.000. Saya khilap, tapi gimana donk..kan lumayan buat jalan2 wiken.

Selebihnya? NOTHING >__<

What happen to you dear February?

Weekly Recap - Feb #2

Last week has been the most funtast-week (maksssaaaa) week for me. No time for boring, no time for bengong and definitely no time for manyun2. It was all GOOD.

On Work

Sepertinya I always put first 'On Work' title in every WR post, it's because work life for me is very important. Sikon hidup gw sepenuhnya tergantung dari kehidupan pekerjaan gw. I'm not saying this karena gw workaholic or anything..no..no..no, i never consider my self as a workaholic, tapi simply because i rely my entire life to it. So if dunia pekerjaan gw udah gak enak, it can affect everything - i mean everything- gw jadi sensi, jadi senewen, jadi gelisah, jadi esmosi dan terutama jadi worry. Gak bener banget sih punya pemikiran seperti itu..tapi namanya kerja sama orang banyak, pasti adaaaa aja masalahnya. Kadang enak, kadang gak enak. Dan ketika gw dihadapkan pada situasi dimana gw ngerasa apapun yang gw lakukan jadinya salah (tanpa ada penjelasan jelas) then i choose to let it go. I choose to be happy, i choose not to worry my self more and not to stress my self out and i choose to find another open window...

On Last Week Wiken

Spent Sat night bersama Icy (4L), Kodok, Panda dan BBP di apt dia and then headed to Inul Vista Kemang. Bisa ditebak cerita selanjutnya ya kita menggila menyanyi bersama..lalalala ;)))

 

Sunday : Gw pulang kerumah dan as always do groceries shopping with Mom & dad pleeessss 5 biji ponakan gw yang iseng gw beliin baju meraaaah semuanya..so ga cowo, ga cewe, semuanya gw suruh pake baju merah..hahahah *tantenya sedeng kalo kata nyokap :p (I really enjoyed my quality time at home)

On Trying New Places

Nyobain tempat ngopi baru di Kemang called Liberica. Setelah tiap hari cuma ngelewatin doank, akhirnya gw stopped by and try out their Baileys Latte Coffee and Red Velvet Strawberry Cake. Semuanya enyaak..I especially enjoyed the coffee. It's not too sweet and not too light, just right. But what best about the place is the ambiance. Kayaknya enak aja gitu, duduk2 di patio yang kelihatan dari jalan dan diliatin sama setiap orang yang lewat (ini sih emang dasarnya banci tampiil) :p

Selain Liberica, gw juga sempat menyambangi Beer Brother yang lagi heboh digaung2kan oleh temen2 twitter. Berhubung lokasinya deket kostan (akamang = anak kampung Kemang) dan searah pulang, akhirnya gw mampir deh. Tempatnya simple dan quite cozy, apalagi it's an open air area. Semua waiter and waitressnya cepet dan friendly2. When we first arrived, they gave us a spicy potato chips as a starter that turned out to be soooooo yummy. Walopun pedass, tapi rasanya enyaaak. Tapi namanya juga starter snack, ya kita tetep musti pesen cemilan yang lain-lah. Thus kita putuskan untuk mesen 5 Finger Chicken (kalo ga salah yaa) itu adalah ayam goreng yang dipotong kecil2 dan disajikan dengan saus 5 rasa. Well, untuk cemilan sih ok yaa, apalagi sausnya 'keroyokan' gitu, jadi seru makannya. Then we also ordered Beer Brother Stick yang berupa adonan pinggiran pizza yang di fried dan dipotong panjang2. Lagi2 disajikan dengan 3 macam saus. But we don't like this one, karena sticknya keraaaas buangeet :( akhirnya kita iseng2 coba mesen potato chips-nya lagi..eeeh, dikasi looh :p Selain cemilan, kita mesen Lychee dan Kiwi Beer nya juga...waah both of them were good. Light and tasteful. Tapii pas bebayaran, kita baru sadar kalo ternyata potato chipsnya kaga gratiiiisssss...it was being charged for 9000k per bowl..*dasaarmukagratisan :D

Besides those 2 places, di Senci pun ada tempat baru buat nongkrong ngopi2. It is called BAR/COFFEE.
Lokasinya yang berada disalah satu pojokan lower ground floor dan dibelakang Kafe Betawi yang selalu rame itu, bikin tempat ini hampir2 less visible. But if you finally find the place, then you'll realize it's a very nice and cozy place to hang out. Tempatnya tidak terlalu besar, tapi cukup menarik dengan dekor dan hiasan2 yang terkesan Jazzy-New York-ish. Bangku2 kayunya bikin the whole place feels so warm dan terutama gw suka tembok service area mereka yang dibuat dari ubin kotak kecil2 berwarna putih dan also lampu gantungnya. Untuk menunya, mostly they only serves coffee and temen2nya, yaitu cakes, bread and quiche. At that time, we only ordered the Caramel Mocha Coffee and Hot Cappuccino and Lemon Tart Cake. For us, they were all tastes good, the coffee it self was not as flavored as other coffee I've ever tried so far, but it's still enjoyable and the tart..yuuuuuuuummm ;)

On Lucky Me
Monday always identical with chaotic manic Monday. I started my day with that feeling to be honest. Setelah attend 2 meetings berurutan dari jam 9 s/d 12, paaaass banget kelar makan siang, gw buru2 naik keatas untuk persiapan pemotretan para BoD and BoC untuk buku Annual Report. Lagi ribet setting sana-sini, all of sudden si Boss minta gw beliin batik lengan panjang karena he forgot to bring his. Padahal, seminggu, 2hari, sehari dan paginya gw udah ingetin..but well U__U
So gw langsung cuuus ke Alleira untuk cari2 mana yang cocok. Ketika mau bebayaran, ternyata disitu lagi ada lucky draw untuk pembelian sejumlah tertentu. Gw diminta untuk spin wheel of fortune and ternyata...gw dapet hadiah Alleira Silk Shawl :)) Alhamdulillah.

Alleira Batik

Hari Rabu gw janjian ma Arisan Rempong di FX dan kebetulan sore itu hujan turun deres buanget. Tadinya kita udah mau batalin aja janjian hari itu, tapi kasian anak2 yang sudah otw. Karena lokasi gw deket ya gw tetep datang, walopun it took me almost an hour to get to FX from Senci sangking macetnya! Ketika sampai disana, ternyata baru ada Indah dan Agies aja, thus kita iseng2 muter2in FX dulu sebelum decide mau stay dimana. FX sekarang udah lebih rame dan sudah banyak tenant yang oke2. Pas dilantai atas gw mampir ke outletnya Nine West. Setelah liat sana-liat sini, gw memutuskan untuk bungkus satu pasang sendal tali hak wedges pendek warna merah sehargaaaaaaaaa.......IDR 150rb sajaaaah saudara2!!! Yupps, segitu murahnya. Gw aja pas bayar sempet kaget karena ga nyangka kalo harganya segini, but si Mba-nya bilang dari semua sepatu yang ada di outlet itu, sepatu ini yang harganya paliiing murah, even flat shoesnya aja masih 300rb-an. So I'm very lucky. And ketika temen2 gw tau, besoknya mereka langsung balik lagi ke FX untuk beli samaan :p

On My Outfit
Minggu ini gw lagi males pake baju ber-tema2, thus pilih yang mana aja yang kepikiran deh -__-

Happy Nu Year All ;)

Holaa..Holaaa...tudai is my first day working. Kalo ditanya apa rasanya?...Hmmmm, poool ngantuk dan malesnya ngalah2in semangat kerja di 2013. *Geez, i'm rumbling again..sigh!

But anyway...HAPPY NEW YEAR YA ALL (telaat 3 hari Gie!) Wishing you a joyful, prosperous, glorious, marvelous, fantabolous year ahead..Amin 1000x

Talking bout new year, rasa-rasanya gak bakalan srek kalo gak diikuti dengan resolusi2 tahun baru bukan?..Bukaaan..*pura2gadenger. Well, untuk tahun ini, gw sempat memikirkan 2 hal mengenai resolusi, firstly i will say; "forget about resolution, just let God's will do his own way", secondly i will thinking : "Let's make resolutions, because it will keep us on track, it will become our reminder for our goals, our target, achievement..bla..bla..bla". 

Naaah, based on kedua hal tersebut, kelihatan banget yang ngasi aura positivenya adalah statement kedua "Let's Make Resolutions!" it just sounds full of spirit and full of hope compare with statement pertama yang kedengerannya lebih banyak pasrahnya (apa jangan2 cuma gw doank nih yang mikir kaya gini -__-) But sutralahyaaa..pokoknya saat hari pertama memasuki tahun berangka keramat ini (13 gituuh), gw sudah memutuskan untuk just let's go make resolutions!! Urusan nanti akan terwujud atau tidak, itumah urusan nanti deh yaaa, secara masih ada 362 hari to go. 

Soooo..setelah panjang lebar ber-intro ndak guna, apa resolusi-nya Gie?! Okeee..here's mine.
