Oh September

by - Saturday, September 28, 2013

Hey everyone, how has your week been so far?
Mine has been ok but a little bit hectic! I only have a free time on Sunday to relax, roll on the bed and do nothing if I don't have projects or commission at that time, but usually I do, so goodbye weekend T_T


Starting from this month, I guess this blog will be neglected, ya emang sih selama ini juga udah terbengkalai *uhuk* tapi rasanya besok-besok akan jauh lebih terbengkalai lagi.. Karena.. pertama jujur saya sedang tidak tau mau menulis apa. Review? Bosen kan review terus? Makeup? Sedang tidak bisa makeup makeup. Haul? lagi ga belanja apa-apa.Dan yamg Kedua, sekarang-sekarang ini saya sudah susah untuk nulis. Karena. saya. sibuk. Pokoknya Jupe aja kalah sibuk deh sama saya -_- saya sibuuuuuuuk banget pokoknya *pasang pose ala nyonya besar* *ditimpuk panci*



 I'm not writing this post to ramble and cry about life etc, hanya ingin update saja biar blog nya ga kelelep hahaha




Looking back, so many things happened in the past month, mostly they were like a shock therapy for me. Ya, I cant say that things went great though. But I believe they happened for a purpose, for me to change. Over this month Ive been wondering and thinking, doing the self reflection and such. People change because of the impact that life brings, and that was how I was affected.



September was my birthday month. On my previous previous previous post, which was written last year I said that my birthday was great and made me very happy. But I don't know, God always has unexpected plans, things turned out the opposite this year.



What happened instead was so may tears shed that day. It was the day I bid my grandmother an eternal farewell because she would sail far away to a place that I did not know of, but I believe she would be happy and free of all the pain she had suffered all these years ;')


Farewell! Please watch over me :')


But something that I learned was, there's always a bright side in every unpleasant experience.
In a dark tunnel, there will be a light at the end. And I told myself to keep believing on that.







And the day after, I started my first day as a graphic design intern at Redspace, one of a branding consultant in Jakarta.  Nah ini nih yang makanya saya bilang saya sibuuuuukkkk banget. Bayangkan pergi ke kantor jam setengah 6 pagi, pulang-pulang ke rumah jam 9 malem. Sekali perjalanan 3 jam. Pulang pergi ya 6 jam. Kalo balapan sama yang mau ke Singapur, mungkin yang ke Singapur udah nyampe duluan, sedangkan saya masih ngantri busway dengan kaki sengklek



My first assignment was to arrange photo layout for the company's website, and because my layout was considered too crowded,  one of my mentor re-arranged it from the start. Maap ya ci



Overall, my office life has been fun despite the super tiring & stressful trip from home to office and back to home :s People suggest me to 'ngekos' instead, but you know that I'm too pelit for that, plus there will be much complications, so I shooed the idea away. #alasansebenernyakarenatidakbisamandiri



And a few weeks ago I cut my hair short! I've been wanting to have a short bob hair and now I finally get it! I'm so happy with my current hairstyle though it takes more attention than before (blowing & combing to keep the hair curve in shape), and not forget to mention that I'm super pleased with the salon as well! My first experience with One Piece Hair Studio made me happy enough, so I returned to get my hair cut again, but at this chance I tried their Kelapa Gading branch which was located not too far from my house. And again, I left the salon with a smile on my face :D





 I love how short hair has the instant fresh, face lift effect! And I guess I'll go with front bangs forever, because it has some kind of.."age eraser" effect, so I appear younger lol. I've always thought side bangs dont look good on me because it makes me look more mature and older than I actually am.


And in the end I finally managed to eat ramen!!! Believe me, I hadn't got a bowl of a chashu ramen for a year! And I had been craving for it so badly,  so I gave myself a little treat at Ikkudo Ichi Gading Walk. The last ramen I had (which was over a year ago, HA!) was from Hakata Ikkousha. Just a little review and comparison, Ikkudo's ramen soup isn't as thick as creamy as Ikkousha's, and apparently Ikkousha's  ramen portion is slightly larger,  so I prefer Ikkousha to be honest. But Ikkudo's chashu (pork slice)  is SUPERB!! Very juicy and delicious!!! You should try it! pasti ketagihan mania!!







.....and finally managed to have birthday cake though it had no candles on top because my boyfriend thought it was too late to blow candles since my birthday was already two weeks away, so he did not buy candles :v Walaupun itu cakenya item-item begitu tapi dalemnya Red Velvet.. ooh begini ternyata rasanya red pelpet yang termahsyur itu..iya saya baru pertama kali nyicip red pelpet, kurang gaul ya? hahaha


tolong abaikan sisir dan roll rambut di belakang itu


My college friends also gave  me a present, a mint sling bag sponsored by Zalora LOL 
They knew that mint is one of my favorite color so they gave me this. Thank you guys! Happy to have you around!


then last Saturday I wore the mint bag along with my flowery maxi dress which had been neglected in my closet, because all this time I thought even though maxi dresses are so lovely, wearing them to mall is way too much, kondangan banget gitu,  so back then I did not dare. But I saw girls at mall and on Pinterest wearing them and they looked pretty casual o_o  So I gave it a go. What do you think then? Do you think it's a bit too much? o_o






and the random one lol I've been addicted to SPITZ lately, my last.fm scrobbles and Winamp playlist are suddenly filled with their songs. Their music is very nice & pleasant to hear!! I will put them on my 'a must listen and update' list along with L'Arc~en~Ciel &  LUNA SEA lol




one of my favorite song by SPITZ that I keep repeating over and over again.. "Sora Mo Toberu Hazu"





I'm writing this post and realize that despite the bitter things that happened, I still have so many things to be thankful for. Being thankful is one of the reason to be happy right? 

 I'm still learning to 'swallow' my complaints before they manage to escape from my mouth and my fingers (well, social media lol) Tapi ada kalanya saya masih kelepasan juga kalo lagi kesel, update Facebook hahaha But I hope I can get rid that bad habit really soon. Deactivating and uninstalling social media accounts might help to resist the urge to complain. Honestly biasanya kalo ada hal apa terjadi, apalagi yang jelek-jelek rasanya langsung instan di otak tercipta kalimat-kalimat yang.. "ini buat status di twitter gue!" And I really feel better without my Twitter and Path, because they do more harm than good to me. I reactivated my Twitter a few days ago though, just to kepo-kepo about Gackt in Jakarta lol But now that he is back in Japan already, I have no reason to keep my Twitter alive so I turn it off again hahaha



So how has your September been treating you? Good? Bad? I hope it's a great one, but if it's not, please keep believing that in the end you will still have some reasons to smile :)




Today's post is totally pointless I know hahaha well I hope I can keep writing reviews soon,
I miss shopping and taking pictures for review!



See you
