Moodbooster
One day, I had a terrible day. I woke up early in the morning, it was the first day of my period. I had shower quickly and got off to drive. It was traffic jam and I came late to work. That was not a good day, for sure. The daily fucking-traffic road always succes to drop my mood. I played my favorite songs. That is my moodbooster. I played several other songs and my mood is back. Listening to music is my moodbooster. It is free calorie and it is simple to do :D.
Here the list of my most favorite songs ever :
1. Island in the Sun, by Weezer (feels like in a heaven)
2. Man who can't be Moved, by The Script (fucking sad lyrics!)
Yeah you can guess how old I am from the songs. I have another favorite ones of course, but as I remember those songs above are the songs I replay hundred times since I was a kid :D
Pari Island, one short beautiful escape.
Short day off. 3 January 2013, I and my friends agreed to have a one-night trip to Pari Island. It is one in Thousand Islands, Jakarta, Indonesia. We took off by the boat from Muara Angke. We spent an hour on the way sea, to arrive at the peaceful wonderful island. It has only few residents, though the island is not as small as I thought. It is even bigger than Tidung island, an island I wrote about years ago. Hihi. I know I'm such a one-sinful-blogger. We stayed in one of resident's house. Not so long to have relax, we mind our short time to go snorkeling. That was one of 'we are waiting' moment. Unfortunately, that was not a friendly time. The wave on the sea is so hardly to snorkel, we were hardly to stay float to view the beautiful under the sea. We had enough time to move our snorkeling spot and found the other calm. We satisfied with 3 different snorkeling spots. Done snorkeling, it was enough to get famished. We all 9 found a small place selling hot-from-the-oven noodles. We finished the noodles like there is no more noodles in the world. Then, we got ourselves ready to other activities. We had admired the beautiful sunset, had a quick fish barbecue in the evening. The quick one because the fish is not enough for the 9-eat-girl. The man said that it was hard to find fish because of the bad weather. We tried to sleep not too late then so we could wake up so early to see sunrise. The fact we woke up so early but failed to capture sunrise the next morning, only sat on a bench at the beach and blamed to the rain. Thanks God, sky turned into bright right after that, so we had some fun on another side beach, it is called Pantai Pasir Perawan, read: Virgin Beach... The beach is a peaceful beach. It is no wave because the wave crash over the wall some miles before the beach. I even got some time to take a sampan, a small boat to see around. The man who sailed the sampan told us. That there is a story behind the name. Long years ago, there was a girl with her 2 friends playing along the beach. The 3 kids were playing fun, while 2 of them realized that her friend had gone missing. People looked after the girl for years but they found no result. Since then, they started to call the beach, Virgin beach.
Back to my trip story.
We had some time to try a sofa boat, another kind of banana boat. We do not need to be wet, beacuse we just sitting on, almost like a lying down on the couch while the speed boat pulling us. That was more fun than I thought and we had so much good time. Last, we packed to go back home and waited for the boat until Friday prayer was over. We weresitting eating noodles at the beach to wait. When the boat came, we got into it and waited to get the boat quite fully loaded. Aand, maybe too much water to drink, you know, full day at the beach. It is hot. *my excuse*. I felt want to pee but reluctantly to have it in the toilet inside the boat. I went out of the boat, back to the house, where it is nearly from there. I thought it would just take around 5 minutes. The fact it was not so short as I thought. My what-the-moment again. While I pee, my friends called that the boat had ready to go. What the... I had even just got into the toilet. THANK to my friends, for remember that I was still in that land. Seriously, I should had asked the person in charge of the boat first, to let them know that one of their passenger went out to pee and left the bag inside. They waited for me, anyway, and that was really my what-the-moment happened (again).The thought of being left in that island, and waited for the next do-not-know-what-time another boat came, was horrible.
I liked the whole package of trip, exclude my what-the-moment. There was a short beautiful escape. Thank You, my friends and the right timing (enough money, not sick, not busy, home run well) but the bad weather in January, while it was not so that bad.
You all visit Thousands Islands. It has many more than Pari island, from the lowest cost up to the highest cost. It is one worth:)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
This is my first updating blog in the new year. HAPPY NEW YEAR for all of you!
Do you have any resolutions for 2013?
I do. Quite many resolutions. I do believe most people have their own wishes, but only few of them have consistency to have or do it.
Remember my resolutions last year and some previous years. Some of them came true, some others not. They came true, even though I did not remember I have ever committed that before. May because too many little resolutions, or not too focus on itself. For example, I committed that in 2012 I would always come on time for work, for attending events, for meeting some people and others. I just realized that I had done it better than 2011, while along the way I was not too much aware.
I tried to find in wiki that resolution I am talking about here, means, a commitment that an individual makes at New Year's Day. Unfortunately, some people make their own resolutions in the first January, run well until the end of January, start to messed in February, completely ruined in March, then blown up do-not-where-it-goes, in April until December.
So, I agree that resolutions made is a sign of respecting your own life. It is important to commit to whatever plans you make. However, I like a quote says: "let life surprise you". I like planning, but I love surprise. Sooo.. Stop wasting time making a long list of plans or commitments or resolutions, just work on it and let God's plan work on you.
My simple resolution is open up my blog more often :)
Cheers!
Days
This is my rule:
- I have to work for five days to earn money (Monday to Friday) as hard as I can.
- I have to create good relationship with very special creatures on Saturdays. It means, I have to spend my time with my family, friends and my boyfriend on that day. Watching movie in cinema, going out for dinner, hanging out in our favorite place, go for swimming together, going to someone's party, are definitely in my lists.
- Then, I have to take a rest on Sunday. I thank God for what He had done and given to me by going to church. However, I always thank Him everyday before going to bed and each morning.
Shopping??? It can be done anytime:D, although I have much time to do it on Saturdays or Sundays.
I am a worker, a corporate slave. It means I am paid by a corporate monthly. I have to make my job as easy and fun as I can. I have to consider that working is my blessing. I have to put my job as my responsibility as a human to God. I have to work to earn some money for myself and my family. I am a creativepreneur (if you hear it for the first time). I create something to be sold to people. I sell my ideas and my creativity. I put it as a hobby that can make money, too. That is my job that I do on Monday to Friday, in the morning until late, as I hard as I can. That is why I do not have much time to spend my time with my family or my friends or my boyfriend on those days, because the 24 hours even is not enough for me. Wishing there is 30 hours working days. So, sometimes I only have some little time to sleep and I pay it back on Saturdays and Sundays by getting up quite late.
Going out ever Saturday is a must for me. Being alone at home on this day is taboo. Why do you have to be alone while many people out there have fun? Except you are sick and so tired, you have to go out for positive things. At least, I go for swimming or exercising, if I do not have any mood for going out.
Days off work is very important, when you have worked really hard. Use your time wisely and be happy. We live once, we can not turn time back.
God bless.
When they fight
Have you experienced when your parents fight?? My parents did it tonight. I was making my project in the living room upstair and heard some loud-hell voice from downstair. I thought my daddy and my sister or brother make some silly jokes. It was short but it was one of hell moment in my life. That is, when you see and hear your parents are fighting. I know what the cause exactly is and it is just the same problem. I get used to it because I think it must happen. Arguing and screaming means you are trying to blow out you anger or you disagreement. Some people know how to see it as something that can be solved by talking heart to heart, but some others do not. Everyone has problems, every family has problems, humans have problems. One thing I know, there are no problem can't be handled or solved. While you are facing problems, it means you're learning a life. You're growing up. You're alive. The important thing is the way you handle your problems.
I can't tolerate when my parents fighting for many days or screaming too loud until everybody in the house scared. I'm sure they know what they are doing so I don't want to get in to their problems although I get the impact of that. Being silent doesn't mean you don't want to help or pretend you do not care about what's going on but you want to clear the tense, controlling yourself. Smiling and trying to understand both sides is the best. That's what I do usually, and it works well always.
I still feel bad because of this thing. However, I don't want to take it seriously because this thing must happen and it just happens. It will be getting better tomorrow and next days. Wishing everyone in my home has a big understanding that everything must happen as God plans it. I trust Him.

Writing back
Writing back in this blog is like finding out my favorite old doll. I have spending 90% of my lifetime for working like a slave. 8 office hours is not enough; at home I still think about my plan for the next day. I enjoy my job; I love what I'm doing for money so that I have no time or at least put my thoughts to write or do somethingelse but my job. The rest is sleep or go to saloon for relaxing. That's like your job is your new doll, and writing a blog is your old doll. You forget your bestfriend when you get another friends. You feel sorry because your bestfriend is the best. You can't live without it however you are now.
I have passed many experiences, happy and sad, fun and boring, interesting and suck. That's life, and everyone has it too. One of the reason I write here because I just had my 25 birthday on August 15, and one of my wish is to write often. Other things, I wish I have much time to do me time while I still make money. I'm on my DIY project and I had started to do it for more than one month. That's my first list in my wishlist; making my project successful at the end of this year. Amen.
It is 02.21 now, I just about feeling sleepy. I recently stay late to study or do my project, beside I have a coffee brand which can me awake longer successfully ;)
Happy Sunday and stay young!

Tidung Island
Tidung Island is one of big islands in Thousand Island area. The island is often visited by travelers to experience new atmosphere in Jakarta. I went there with my friends for a day. We took a ferry from Muara Angke in the morning, with other people who were going he island, too. It took around two hours. Once we arrived there, the travel guide guided us to a house. The house is one of .... house that we had rent to stay. Many things to do in one day, so we spent our time wisely to travel around the island, from north to south. We rent bikes, so each of us had a bike to ride. The travel guide showed us the views of the island. We took some photos, had snorkeling and had night barbecue in one day. The next morning, we took a ferry, back to Jakarta. I had a quality time with my friends :)

That Red Hair Girl
Hi, do you have an idol in your life? I am 24 years old and I have an idol. A 3 years-old girl has an idol (a Teddy, maybe). What is an idol? This is what I got from a wikipedia; an idol is an image or other material object representing a deity to which religious worship is addressed or any person or thing regarded with blind admiration, adoration, or devotion. So, it can be said an idol is not always a person but can be also a thing. Although, as long as I know, an idol is often addressed to someone. He or she can be someone very important in your life, or someone famous in the world whom you wanna be like him or her.
So, if I say I love Hayley Williams (she is not my mother, she is a singer in Paramore band) and I love her music, her band, her voice, her style, anything about her but I don't want to be really like her. I wish, I have a Hayleys' cute face but I don't wanna be that red hair girl. I love my black hair though. I just wanna be good in playing guitar like her (I am still practicing it). I just love her because she is a good musician and I wonder if I can be like that, too, that's it. I know, many others (she) out there who are good in music but they are not like Hayley or they are not as famous as Hayley or they are not in a band whose the members are not as cute as Jeremy or Taylor or other former guy-members in her band :))
Anyway, I just wanna share my pictures when I was watching Paramore in Ancol, Jakarta 19th August. I went there with my friend, Tania and my sister and her boyfriend. I was so excited that I could go. I think I won't go to concert as many as before because I have been busy with my job know, but as you know if I have an extra budget and they come again to my country or around, like Singapore, Malaysia, Australia, I will go for it. If you had read any news, article or posts about that Paramore concert, you will know how great the concert is. Although you will never feel the great euphoria of that situation and you will never know the feeling of being part of the concert. So, if you really love a singer or a band, and they come to have a concert in your country or around your country, go for it, or you will be missed to read or hear the story about that only.

Happy Today
What makes me happier is, tonight,
there will be two great events. First, a midnite sale in Grand Indonesia
and second, a big match between Manchester United and Barcelona at 1
AM. I really want take a look the midnite sale, and my prior shopping
destination is KLE The Label, Urban Icon Store and Top Shop. I hope my
favorite items in that store are in sale:). The monthly month on the
first I am having now won't ruin my shopping spree. Shopping always be
ladies' medicine.
About
the match, there will be 'nobar - nonton bareng', that is watching the
match on big screen with other people in cafe or other paces that
provide the 'nobar'. I do not know I will have the 'nobar' with my
friends or not. It's still unfixed. If it's too late for me, I may watch
the match with my family in my home. My family loves football! As you
can see about my post about one of Indonesian match few months ago. For
the match, I like M.U., but I like Barca more, because I love Lionel
Messi so much. He's my favorite. I hope Barca can win the match! But if
M.U. wins, it's OK for me, because my family support that team. It seems
my family is split by different favorite teams. Oh... that will be
fun!!!
Thanks for you support in the Fashion Profile Competition. I really appreciate it. Hope you have wonderful Saturday Night like me... Cheers!
Saloon Vouchers
That was 28 of July. That was the time when my vouchers met their expired. Yeah, I have one of women who collect discount vouchers from shopping stores, saloon, hotel, anything... Until I forgot about about that and never used it. That was the day, I'm gonna meet my cousin to go to saloon together to use our vouchers. Then, we went there and had cutting. It had already been a long time I never had a hair cut. After waiting for few hours, I had the 'service'. The hairstylist's name is Dika. I let him to cut my hair with any kind of models that he thought it was good. But I told him to keep my hair long. So, he just made my hair in layer :D.
And this is the result of our new hair-cut!
Sunsilk Hair Studio is a recommended saloon that I'd ever written in my previous post, Sunsilk Hair Studio. The price list is quite expensive but it's worth.
Java Rockin' Land 2011
This is my story about java rocking land concert (JRL) this year. I am not writing the review about the concert itself. It is just my story how I could go to the concert.
I bought a ticket from one of ticket boxes in Indonesia. I bought it from two weeks before the day. The concert it self held on 22, 23 , 24 July. I bought a daily pass of Saturday because I'm gonna watch The Cranberries. They are one of line-up artists that's gonna perform on Saturday. I was so happy that I already had a ticket with cheaper price than in the web. I already told my friends that we're gonna go together. That would be fun. Unfortunately... A week before the day, I had a problem, a problem which took almost all of my savings. That was very sudden and I needed more money urgently. I asked for help from my friends, my boyfriend and my sister, but it was enough. Then, I remembered about my JRL ticket. I thought that one of the way to make more money was selling my ticket to other ones, one of my friend who were gonna watch it. Then, I decided to cancel my plan to watch JRL and sell the ticket. The two days before the day, the ticket was sold cheaper than I bought. So, I lost around sixty thousands rupiahs. It was because I needed money urgently and all people already had the tickets in their hands, so it was difficult to sell a ticket only in few days before the day. A day before the concert, I was so sad telling my friends that I canceled my plan to go to JRL. I was sad also reading my friends' timeline in twitter, tweeting about how fun the concert was. It was Friday, July 22. The favorite band on Friday was Thirty Seconds to Mars. I said to my self, "Ok, maybe this time, you can't watch the concert. It's not a big deal. It's not the end of your life."

The Saturday morning, I was asked by my boyfriend to come on Batak's wedding in the afternoon. It would take a half of day; from 12 PM until 6 PM. Then, I went there; that was the wedding of my boyfriend's cousin. I enjoyed the party, and watched the performance of Batak's dance and other tradition in the wedding. At 6 PM, we went to my boyfriend's house to drop his parents. On the way his home, around Pulo Mas, I read @momsnmine timeline.
It was said like this: "Ada yg rumahnya deket condet mau nonton Cranberries jam 11 mlm ini? Aku pny 2 tiket, pake aja gratis"
In a second, I replied her tweet: "Aku mau..."
Shortly, we made a deal that I was the one who could take the two tickets in her house. That was so yeayness!!! Then, my boyfriend drove me to her house to get the two tickets. Finally, we both could go to the concert and arrived there around 9 PM. We watched The Cranberries :)). That was unforgettable experience, one of sudden things that ever happened in my life. A big thank to mbak Nana from @momsnmine and my boyfriend who drove for me until late. That was tiring for us I know, but we really enjoyed the Saturday night. I lost one, but I got another two :))

Happy Greenish Blue
Happy Friday Morning...Indonesia has 'cuti bersama ' today. That is a public day-off. All workers, except banks and some of private companies, has one day off today. It's not a national holiday, it's just because Indonesia has the Ascension Day yesterday and Saturday tomorrow. So, this Friday is a day in between two days off... May government think it's a chance for citizens to have a long weekend. There 4 days-off... Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Is it interesting, right? Whoever says that 4 days-off is boring, doesn't know where to have fun. Even the workaholic needs some days-off. Many things I can do in days-off, such as writing in my blog, shopping, culinary tour, watching in cinema, making art and crafts, etc... with my friends, boyfriend or with my family. If you a workaholic, you can still work at home; your brain is still working and using your time to finish all of the tasks at home.
I'm just happy right now, because I got 25% discount voucher from Shoezisme and Urban Icon items from curipandang.com. That is because I won their giveaways and competition! Wow, that's cool ... I joined two competitions last week and I won both. That's really a happy week. I love shoes, I love watches, I love bags, I love dress, I love anything you love and all normal ladies in the world love:). I can't wait to pick one of cute shoes from Shoezisme and got cool items from Urban Icon.
| Lovely Turquoise Nail Polish from Face Shop |
| Turquoise nails : a slightly greenish tone of blue |
Tonight, I am going to come the launching of Sunsilk Hair Studio in Grand Indonesia East Mall 2nd Floor. My sister got two invitations and she asked me to come. My sister told me I can't wear white and black outfits as usual. Yeah, black and white is my favorite outfits. That's kinda boring, sometimes, although people say black never do wrong. So, tonight I am going to wear colorful outfits, hmmm... let me think what I have in my wardrobe. I had already polished my nails with turquoise, so I may wear anything turquoise or green. I am a nail-polish lover and I am a turquoise admirer, too. Haha.. There so many things I love in this world! Who are going to come in Sunsilk hair Studio tonight? Let's meet up and make friends:). I may be a young woman with a long black hair in a green top, khaki pants, green wedges with green Batik trim and some colorful accessories..
A Messy Priority
![]() |
Sometimes, I wanna divide my body into two pieces, like an amoeba do or... I wanna call Doraemon to make a one or two copies of me, like he did to Nobita or... I need Albus Dumbledore to give me a time machine, like he did to Hermione Granger.
There is an unsynchronized system between my brain, my eyes,and my hands. I wanna do this, but I must do that. I wanna do this and that, but I can not do this and that at the same time. Or, I wanna do this first, do that later, but there is no enough time to this first and do that later. There is a unrelated chain between what I really wanna do and what I must do. I am sucked to think what I should do first. I know my priority and I have my own priority list. But at the end, I change the no. 1 in my list to be the no. 5. Of course no. 5 to be no. 2 or even 1.
God and His angels know that I understand my priority, but my soul can not get in to it. So, I turn to follow what my heart says. I am not a teen, but I may not a woman yet. I haven't had a baby to feed every day. I haven't had a husband yet to take care. I do not have responsibility to please my children and husbands. I have to please my parents and my sister and my brother, of course. But... you know, they can please themselves better than I please them, if they want. I am a single, means not married yet. I am free, but not free at all. Ok, let me think my priority now. What should I do after this.. Can I make a cup of tea first?
(It is written in a rainy Sunday afternoon.. In my room. The picture above was taken by me from a corner of my favorite cafe.)
NIKICIO MIXTÉ VOL.06 Official Launch
| The stage |
It's been 4 days I haven't drunk my tea. It's not hot anymore. I'm thirsty now. I'm going to make you a cup of tea now. This is one most favorite stories in my fashion tales, the new collection of Indonesian designers. This is a story about NIKICIO MIXTÉ VOL.06 Official Launch at THE GOODS Department, Plaza Indonesia. I went there last Wednesday, 11th May 2011, with my sister. I met some friends there, too. Thanks her for the RSVP for my friends:)). I was excited to see her fashion presentation of her last collection. I like this collection because all is about black. Black is one of my favorite colors which is wearable to be matched with any kind of colors and last forever.
In her presentation, every models came up to the stage and she, the designer, gave explanation about the clothes of the models wore. It was about the story behind the clothes, the purpose of making it, the process and the materials used to make every single piece of them. This how Nina Nikicio explained to the audience.

Those are the pictures I had taken from the back seat. I think I fell in love with the Unisex Organza Blazer, but I have to wait until the pay day comes, so I can buy it. You can not spend all of my money right away if you wanna buy something. You have to wait and save much until you are sure that is worthed item to have. It is just about smart shopping :)) and sure this collection is worthed for me. Anyway, watching a fashion presentation like this giving me an insight. Many ideas come up every time I see a great creation from any Indonesian designers. Thanks everyone. Hope this is insightful for you too. If you want to know and look more about this collection, you can visit webstore.nikicio.com. Happy Shopping!

Take a deep breath and discuss about this. What a pity! I can't believe it. If it really happens, I mean the 15 movies are not shown in our cinemas, I'm sure that piracy in the form of DVD will be getting worse. The upper community will probably go to Singapore or Malaysia or Australia to watch those movies in cinemas. such as Singapore, Malaysia or Australia. How about the people who can't afford that kind of things? They may go to DVD sellers and buy the unoriginal ones. Doesn't it create a worse situation? Doesn't it get people away to enjoy good things? Doesn't it hamper the citizens to appreciate original art and creativity? Doesn't it give chances to the pirates of movies to make more money? Doesn't it make us left far behind other countries? Doesn't Indonesia look like going fall down to the lower level??? Well, government.. If you think at least twice, I hope the policies change; the policies you put on Motion Picture Association (MPA) to pay a huge amount of tax. I don't much understand about this. The thing that I understand is only we have to THINK BIG, THINK MORE, THINK DEEP. Good movies are miles away, because MPA prefers not to show their movies in Indonesia rather than to pay a huge amount of tax.

The beginning of the month is most comfortable to shop. The 28th April was special for me, where I could spend my one-month salary for one day! That was because of the second year anniversary of Brightspot Market. If the first year anniversary was previously held in Plaza Indonesia, this time it was located on the 1st floor of Pacific Place.

Brightspot Market is a unique retail concept that was held several months in different locations. Brightspot Market is held to collect artists and local and international designers to show their signature styles. The goods sold in the bazaar are their innovative and original products. Unlike other fairs, all goods sold in Brightspot Market are unique. They are rarely sold in other places.
I was looking for a birthday gift for my boyfriend there. I was looking for Cotton-Ink once I arrived there. I bought three pieces; Summer Blouse Peach, Victoria Beige and Black and Wafer Light Grey Cardi. Cotton Ink become one booth attracted quite a lot of visitors. That booth sold clothing for women looked very crowded and there was a long line in front of the cashier. I am a fan of this local fashion brand. They create unique designs, good quality materials in affordable prices.

There were about 90 brands in this event in the form of clothes, bags, shoes, and accessories, home furnishings, books, stasionery, until the food. I could find renowned fashion line, such as Nikicio, Cotton Ink, Seba Shoes, Satcas, Danjyo-Hyoji and Petite Cupcakes, Avanava, Paper Dolls, Geulis, Monday to Sunday, Coloriot, and Sash by Satcas. There are also 'newcomers' like Noonio, Voyage and Cyclo Rocket. Almost 90% of the area is filled with local brands, and 10% of participants from overseas from Singapore and the United States. The event was also being entertained with music from DJ at night.
Brightspot Market only lasted for four days, starting from 28th April - to 1st May 2011. The first day was opened for invitation only and the last three days were opened for public. I was excited being able to come for the opening party. it was crowded, but the collections were still complete.

Design a Dream
Today, I'm thinking about my dream, that is being a business woman. This is the step how I get the idea : First, I saw people's business. Second, I chose what kind of business I want to have. Third, I read a book about anything about motivation. Fourth, I googled about the others' business. Fifth, I started to find the only one name for my business. Sixth, I started to act now!
I can't tell more about my business yet, because it is still a plan in my mind. However, I already start from the little thing about that. One of them, start to write the idea down in my diary. Ok, now I am going to have dream and I hope tomorrow there is a new positive idea come up from my mind. Good nite!
"Whenever I have an idea,
I write it down quickly, wherever it is.
So, I won’t ever lose it."
A Day With Chocolate
Finally! I went to Magnum Cafe and tried various kinds of ice-cream flavors. Once I arrived, it was a long queue there. I think people has same thought as mine; trying to visit this cafe in Saturday night. The waiter and waitress said, they do not have a long queue. in work days. For the food, I ordered two kinds of flavors, chocolate and vanilla magnum ice-cream with nuts and coconuts. Ummm... I forgot the names, but it is really delicious and sweet. All of the food here have unique names but difficult to remember. This cafe not only sells desserts my also the main food, like fried rice. The drinks are also yummy. I ordered frappucino blended chocolate. I was really full with sweets on that day. Beside the food and drinks, I also like the concept of the stores; it's lovely! By the way, it is pop-up cafe; only open until May.
