September Ceria

I took my Full Blooded Sea Swatch this morning.

No special intention, I just want to match my dress color with my watch.

Then suddenly I realized that the date number show : "1"

OMG, is it September 1st?

That's mean that I've already passed 2/3 of this year. What have I done?

So let's review a little bit from my 2010's Resolution.

- work life balance : better than the past 3 years

- keep healthy lifestyle, including eating healthy food and regular exercise : 3-4x/ week (but why am I gaining 5 kg since New Year?)

-clean my house regularly: you know me, this is really hard (chuckle)

-reduce impulse shopping : please somebody stop me from being an internet shopper addict

-not wasting time: this is my personal issue. But I think I've finally cleared up that issue and welcoming a new possibility :D

So.. I think my score is 70 of 100, hehehehe

But the best thing that I've got so far is...... finding myself someone who love me

Ticket Project

This is something silly actually, but it is fun to be done.

Me and my boyfriend, both of us like to watch movie.

And we've watched a loooooot of movies together.

So why don't we try collecting the tickets?

Of course, we've lost a lot of tickets, but better be late than never isn't it?

Just give me one year and I'll show you an enormous number of movie ticket :P

For the beginning, I've found Alice in Wonderland, Hachiko, Salt, and Sorcerer's Apprentice.

Below is the list of the movies that I couldn't find the tickets:

-3 idiots : great movie. this movie make me think again about myself being an engineer

-Shutter Island: don't try to watch this movie, except you want to get headache (our first date)

-Iron Man 2: too much publication, not as good as the first one

-Green Zone: nice action movie. good as it is.

-Knight and Day: is it a comedy or an action movie?

-Karate Kid: say it what you need to say ;)

-Inception: nice visual effect. But my question is why does Leo want to join in two movies with similar story? Shutter Island vs Inception? Is he crazy or not? Is he dreaming or not?

-Twilight- Eclipse: deep inside my heart, I'm still a teenage girl. But the rating is "Dewasa" = Adult not "Semua Umur"=All Age or "Remaja"= PG13

-A-team : a funny action movie

-Prince of Persia: I love the artistic view of this movie. Nice song by Alanis Morisette by the way.

-Robin Hood: a movie about the beginning of robin hood

-The Book of Eli: A journey to the west? I love the "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart" song by Al Green and Joss Stone

-My Name is Khan: another Hindi movie. Nice movie, but I still prefer 3 Idiots

The frog... (Will I find my frog?)

This is a frog picture, given from my sister....

Thanks a lot Dez..... \(^_^)/

South Vietnam 2009- day 1

Hi..

As my promise, this is the story about my trip to South Vietnam.

25th December 2009

Okay, this is my first trip outside Indonesia without paying the fiscal. (OMG, has it been so long since I went abroad?)

According to the latest tax regulation, Indonesian citizen with NPWP can go outside Indonesia without paying the fiscal.

We took Air Asia QZ7736 with Ho Chi Minh City as our destination.

The flight had been delayed for almost one hour, but I think it's okay because we are still full of spirit, hahaha...

The meal served on the plane is delivered for both my parents and sisters. Me? I have to watch them, because I can't order chicken sandwich due to my health and I'm not lucky enough to get tuna sandwich on board.

So here we are, landing at Tan Son Nhat Airport at nearly 9pm and a very hungry tourist.

We met our tour guide, Mr Hiep and our driver Mr Tuc from Aurora Travel.

We are surprised to see our car, because it's a Mercy Sprinter. Wow, nice car :D

On the journey to our hotel, we could see Saigon atmosphere on the night.

Oh yeah, it's Christmas, so it's a public holiday.

It's crowded on the road and the city is so beautiful with its Christmas light decoration.

After we checked in, Mr Hiep delivered us to Pho 2000 (pardon me, because I was very hungry at that time).

I was very surprised to see this Pho 2000.

In Jakarta, Pho 2000 is a nice restaurant in up class mall like Pondok Indah Mall. And guess what, Pho 2000 in Vietnam is only just like Warung Naripan in Bandung :)

But the food is delicious, and I don't have to worry about my diet because they have vegetarian menu.

I ordered vegetarian curry, and yes, it's very delicious.

After that, we've tried our first taxi trip in Vietnam.

Mr Hiep recommended us to use Vinasun or Mai Linh taxi.

So, we stopped a Vinasun Taxi (it's an Innova), and it's the time to use Tarzan language.

Even we've brought our hotel card, it's still hard to explain to the taxi driver that we want to go back to our hotel.

He brought us to a Liberty hotel! (lately, I learned that Metropole hotel is one of Liberty Hotel chain, so I understand why the taxi driver brought us there)

So, finally we arrived at our hotel, so it's the time to sleep. Tomorrow, the exciting journey will begin. :)

Happy New Year

I'm wishing you a Happy New Year 2010 !!

Hope everything is gonna be alright.

I'm not too optimist for this year, but let's just cross our finger.

My new year's resolution:

- work life balance -> the hardest one

- keep healthy lifestyle, including eating healthy food and regular exercise

-clean my house regularly

-reduce impulse shopping

-not wasting time

Hope it could be achieved...

2009 Christmas Eve

Tonight is Christmas Eve.

For me, it is a time for celebration, even tough I'm not a devout Catholic.

Actually I'm a little bit surprised that I feel "Should I go to the Mass?".

But I don't wanna talk about "So why don't you just go to the Mass?", so let just skip that question.

Anyway, I just want to say "Merry Christmas and may God bless us"..

Let's just sing my favorite Christmas carol.

Joy to the world, the Lord is come

Let earth, receive the King

Let every heart prepare His room

And heaven and nature sing

And heaven and nature sing

Have a nice holiday.

*I'll spend my holiday by going into a travel to Saigon. Hope that I could share some interesting story.

My Last Day as 26

This is my last day as 26 years old.

So let's review what has changed.

Appearance?

I'm still having my short hair, sometimes I highlighted my hair.

I've started using skin care and make up. Even I don't want to admit that, sometimes the power of make-up is just so amazing. It can hide my black eyes due to lack of sleep, or just hide acne during my periods.

It could enhance the appearance of my eyes (People said that I have beautiful eyes)

I've bought more clothes than I've bought in the past two years before.

Since my boyfriend (ex actually) has moved out from Jakarta, I have plenty of times for my self. So I start to swim at regular basis, and since last May, I joined a gym.

It surprised me how fast I've become slimmer but healthier only in a few months.

On the first month, I was happy (and still happy actually) with the result. But I stop smiling when I realize that I have to change my clothes. My usual clothes are too big for me. If I don’t want to look ugly, then there is no other way than replacing my old collection.

Even I’ve tried to tight my budget with buying 2^nd hand clothes or buying only when there is a big sale, buying still means that I have to spare some money.

Then I thought that if I have to change my clothes, why I don’t use this moment to change my style? So I’ve change my wardrobes to become even more feminine. I started buying dress instead of pant, buying cute tops instead of plain shirts, buying girl bags instead of masculine bags, etc.

Sometimes I still miss my old appearance so I still buy sporty clothes, but with feminine accent.
