Hi!

  Hey all! How is it going? I finally registered to one of Indonesia’s top unis for my doctorate degree plan, wish me luck! I still have one more options but it doesn’t start the registration session until early next year, so I will be waiting patiently about that. I have been reading and taking the test simulations with some books, and the tests will be next week, so I thought I will slow down for one day. I have done what I can and I deserve a little break >.<   It has been uneasy to switch your behaviour from working to studying hahaha. I mostly do my work inside, in a room, for concentration, but for the slowing down day, I’m just going to do a little bit of my freelance task, and a lot of Prime Video, I need some good outdoor set, also to get some sun because I have been spending most of my times in a room with an AC.   As per usual, I prepared myself in the morning with a little bit of make-up, just to keep my discipline in grooming myself, because as fun as l...

Started the week heavy. I heard unpleasant news from dear friends, about the you-know-what. I just hope things will be better soon. Right now we are trying our best to keep contact and send some fruits and meals, hoping they would get better soon. Meanwhile, please do keep ourselves healthy and safe, wearing double masks and wash hands, wash wash wash. And try to keep our mind happy, even if sometimes it is difficult. Today, I am trying to keep things as usual, getting ready, and do some activities inside the house. I am using this lip tint from local brand, Emina Cosmetics, my first one, to bring some colour on my face. It is a water lip tint with semi-matte finish, from 6 colours that available, I purchased the 01-Scarlet, which is the darkest colour of all (I purchased this several months ago).  The first thing I like about this lip tint, aside from curiousity because it is popular on the social media :p), is so easy to find. I got this from a mini mart at home! However, it is a...

  Disclaimer: this is my personal experience on Jun 24th 2021, there might be some updates in policies, etc I was afraid. Yes that’s what I felt about this whole vaccination at first. I was afraid of the side effects (from what I heard and read) I don’t know which vaccine was “the best”, and what would I do if I got that side effects, given I was alone at home most of the time. Then, all of my family members got vaccinated, so did some of my closest friends, and all were convincing that it’s gonna be okay.   My brother sent me a link, vaksinasi-corona.jakarta.go.id explaining that I could get vaccinated just by typing my ID card and it would direct me to a specific location in Jakarta - now everybody, not just Jakarta ID card holder can. I realised that this is for the better, and if I could contribute even with the smallest gesture, and boost my immunity for my own sake too, this would be it. Registration was easy, less than 10 minutes for me to fill all my personal informat...

CNY is coming tomorrow, although I don’t personally celebrate, many of my friends do. For this year, almost definitely that I would spend it at home. And maybe some of you are too, so let's prepare that #GreetingsFromHome together with nice and in-theme style.  Two things that remind me of CNY, Cheongsam, and the color red. By desktop research, I also find that bright colors are ideal options. Again, since I am not celebrating, yet I want to respect my friends and personally I just find being in-theme is so much fun, so I always have some Cheongsam inspired clothing in my wardrobe.   And for this time, I picked a top from Dhievine Batik , that I purchased a while ago, and never had a chance to wear it. Usually I would wear Batik for Friday at the office, or any day meetings. And, from the reference I see, the Cheongsam would be body-fit, this one is not, but still showing a little bit of shape^^ Disclaimer: I took the photos on wooden material background, hence there...

One of the perks of my job is being able to create activities while visiting some of the coolest places in the country, and abroad. This year, during the pandemic, we tried to slow down, and if we must do activities, we do it under a strict health and safety protocols. Last week me and a group of participants went to Anantya Riding Club , for a short horse riding course. Horse riding was not a new thing for me, but I had never done it during my grown up moments, so it was kind of fun and therapeutic, seeing the beautiful horses. Disclaimer: I visited Anantya Riding Club for work (as the event sponsor) with a group of adults in the middle of the week, at the end of January 2021, hence the situation and experience may differ.  Anantya Riding Club is located in Gunung Putri, Bogor. You can google search and get the official website, along with the address.  As we enter the venue, I saw some horses on the grass field, and I got very excited. I always like animals, the fu...
