Love Me :D

Hey you.

Yes, you. Stop being unhappy with yourself. You are awesome. Stop wishing you looked like someone else or wishing people liked you as much as they like someone else. Stop trying to get attention from those who hurt you. Stop hating your body, your face, your skin color, your hair, your quirks. Love them. Without those things, you wouldn’t be you. And why would you want to be anyone else? Be confident with who you are. Smile. It will draw people in. If anyone hates on you because you are happy with yourself then stick your middle finger in the air and say screw it. And yea, my happiness will not depend on others anymore. I’m happy because I love who I am. I love my flaws. I love my imperfections. They make me me, and ‘me’ is pretty amazing :)

Love your Love

1. NOW OR NEVER

Two butterflies were in love. One day, they decided to play Hide and Seek. The boy said: “A small game within us. The one who sits in this flower tomorrow early in the morning is the one who loves the other one more". The girl agreed.

Next morning, the boy waits for the flower to open, so that he can sit before the girl butterfly does. Finally, the flower opened. And what did he see? The girl had died inside the flower. She stayed there all night, so that early in the morning, as soon as she sees him, she can fly to him and tell him how much she loved him.

♥ Tell your loved ones that you love them before its too late!


2. GIVE IT ALL

A boy and a girl were playing together. The boy had a collection of marbles. The girl had some sweets with her. The boy told the girl that he will give her all his marbles in exchange for her sweets. The girl agreed. The boy kept the biggest and the most beautiful marble aside and gave the rest to the girl. The girl gave him all her sweets as she had promised.

That night, the girl slept peacefully. But the boy couldn’t sleep as he kept wondering if the girl had hidden some sweets from him the way he had hidden his best marble.

♥ If you don’t give your hundred percent in a relationship, you’ll always keep doubting if the other person has given his/her hundred percent. This is applicable for any relationship. Give your hundred percent to everything you do and sleep peacefully.

3. SAND AND STONE

Two friends were walking through the desert. During some point of the journey they had an argument, and one friend slapped the other one in the face. The one who got slapped was hurt, but without saying anything, wrote in the sand:

“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SLAPPED ME IN THE FACE.”

They kept on walking until they found an oasis, where they decided to take a bath. The one who had been slapped, got stuck in the mire and started drowning, but his friend saved him. After recovered from the near drowning, he wrote on a stone:

“TODAY MY BEST FRIEND SAVED MY LIFE.”

The friend who had slapped and saved his best friend asked him, “After I hurt you, you wrote in the sand and now, you write on a stone, why?”

The other friend replied, “When someone hurts us, we should write it down on sand where winds of forgiveness can erase it. But, when someone does something good for us, we must engrave it on stone where no wind can ever erase it.”

♥ Learn to write your hurts on sand and to carve your benefits on stone :)

Week ends at Semarang

When we arrived, we decided to have dinner at Paris Van Java as recommended by a friend. The uniqueness of PVJ is the design where it is actually like a house. The design and concept will make you feel like being back at home served by your own maids. The theme color is white which is I love the most! I was kinda upset bcos I thought we would be there for lunch.

We continued to hang out at S2, a one-stop lifestyle complex that opens the door to the most hip and stylish restaurants, cafés, bake and patisserie shop, frozen desserts shop, and fitness center in Semarang. The food was great. We ordered the salmon sashimi and desserts only because we were too full to try the main course. Trust me the price is affordable. In short, S2 is a cool place to hangout. Never thought that Semarang could offer such a cozy & great place to hangout.

Assorted French Pattiseries. We got strawberry panna cotta, New York cheese cake, Opera cake, Bailey's choco rum mousse, Fruit tartlet (my Fav!!!), and creme brule (my Fav too!!!) for 55000 IDR, dirt-cheap!

Berry Paralise, a pancake with strawberry ice cream, fresh strawberry, strawberry mochi, and strawberry sauce!

Yogyakarta trip

Trip to Yogyakarta, Central Java. I visited Kraton Jogja (Yogyakarta Palace). It's not as fancy as the palace in general, but it's highly respect of Javanese culture. The place is very clean and tidy. We looked around the historic objects, things that once used to power the sovereign at the time, and the tools that are often used in traditional rituals.

We had lunch at The House of Raminten

ice cream serve with toast, filled with banana, yummy...

Warm embrace

"I know some people know who he is, but I also know there are not that many who got to see the side of the guy that I did. And that guy, well, I’ll never forget him. Not ever. I’ve learned so much about patience and maturity from knowing him and I wouldn’t change a thing about it. Including the ending. My heart needs to go through some bumps like these once in a while. Besides, he has made a monumental impact on me and on my life. He made me laugh at things that wasn't funny. He made me smile without actually being here. He made my stomach flip by a short text. He made my heart drop just by saying hi. I hate to admit it, but he's still amazing. I know no matter how many years go by, my stomach will always do a little flip whenever I see that face. But I also know, I need to get out, get away, and forget everything, in order to realize that what I have now really isn't that bad. I can be happy, with, or without him"

Need Summer Break!

College's out for summer. It used to be a time to relax, no homeworks and assignments to make, no having to wake up on time, no having to rush around. But sadly I took a Summer Programme or let's say short-semester. The lecturers just cram all the information into about 5 weeks instead of 14. I choose two subjects, Human Resource Management (every Tue, Wed, and Thu) and MICE (every Tue and Thu). Both of them is not relevan with my mayor program, tourism, but I have no more choice. I take a short semester now because I want to save more space for four semester left. To be honest, I wanna go somewhere out of town this holiday.

a 95K Belgian beer with its refreshing taste & hint of citrus. It's great as a thirst quencher. You can try this at Crystal Jade Restaurant, Grand City. I almost forget to say that this restaurant is great. It gives us the opportunity to choose whatever cakes we desire. Tey have Hong Kong-style buns and Chinese cakes, and also international bread and pastries. You should try the mini tarts, Bo Lo Black Pepper chicken, chicken donut, chicken pie... and many more.

I wish I could wear that summer dress in Bali this holiday -__-

snap, a tiny little friend, Lay Lay :)

Indecision

I went to church last Sunday with two friends. It was a good mass, the priest talked a lot about the importance of keeping promises and how to face the diffuculties in life. I thought it was really interesting. The more I look back on my life, the more depressed I get, I had so many memories, and so I’m totally going to change the way I view my life. Actually I’m in a good place, really. I’m slowly getting my things done. The bad thing is that I haven’t really made any plans for the future. Most likely I’ll continue working as an accounting teacher, and also possibly continuing my study in China since I have people that can get me some serious references. Sometimes I feel it might be best to learn Chinese first, though I’m not really sure how I want to use it and what I'm going to do thereafter. Ideally, I could spend some time abroard, studying in China for a year, and then taking on the teaching job. But the institution asks me to teach for at least three years, starting this July. I've talked about this with my family. Mostly said that I do not need to sign the employment contract because being attached is disadvantageous. However, I don't want to miss this opportunity. I want to make my own money. At least, I don't need to ask my dad some money to buy something. I also want to start stashing away money. Ah I am confused.

I want to make these years worth to remember, but I don’t even know where to begin. It scares me that the future’s coming fast and my dreams aren’t getting any nearer to me. I don't really know what I want to do, where I want to get, and who I want in my life when I get there. But I also just want to live for now. I want to get out there and have fun, not waste my time to think about those things. Time is ticking away before my eyes and I’m still just a cliché teenage girl with dreams too big. And in truth, I wouldn’t want to change, that’s who I am and there’s not much I can do about it. I just don’t get how everyone else is moving on, and I’m stuck, almost as a little girl. Waiting for the moment my life changes, and not even knowing where to look. I wish...

Wonderful Amanjiwo, Yogyakarta

Yogyakarta in Indonesia is a wonderful holiday destination for travelers, especially the foreigners. You will find abundant number of hotels in various rates. If you want to experience the different kind of hotel amenities, come to the Amanjiwo Hotel in Yogyakarta which is one of the famous 5 Star Hotels in Yogyakarta. My brother told me that it is the most expensive hotel in Indonesia at the moment (I was shocked to hear that, I thought St.Regis was). Room rates from USD 750, excluding tax at 11 per cent. Yes it is expensive but I think you will get what you pay for. If you are kind of person who likes to and can afford to pay for the best you honestly can't go wrong here. If you are not prepared to spend, don't come here.

My favorite part of this hotel is the cultural aspect. The design is genius, it mimics Borobudur, and the sightlines are actually lined up so you can see the great temple from the centre of the complex, looking outwards. The actual dining area is huge. airy, semicircular and open to the back of the main building, with absolutely staggering views of Borobudur, surrounding countryside and not-too-distant volcanoes. Interiors include four-pillar bed on a raised terrazzo platform, sungkai wood screens, coconut wood and rattan furniture, old batik pillows in classic Yogyakarta style. Borobudur is carefully mirrored in the resort's design and central dome. Basically, Amanjiwo is designed to make you feel as though you do have the luxuries of home but are in the midst of central Java. I want to go there and treat a stay at the Amanjiwo as a one time experience :)

Escape For a while

A short escape to Trawas. The weather was great there. Day one was spent by eating.. eating.. and eating.. at the villa. We had a plan to watch some horror movies at the villa, so we brought a dvd player. But hell, how stupid we forgot to bring the dvds! It's getting worse when the TV signal was bad. Yeah and we were like... WTH.. No movies and TV shows, so we spent our time by eating, taking pictures, chit-chatting, cooking, and working on our marketing paper. That was a great time anyway.

WHO HAS THE BEST NOSE?

Fank and Vivi were happy jumping!

I wanted to try it too, so I threw Fank out and replaced her.

Vivi saw something long and small while jumping. She shouted Kyaaa...

A brave superhero came and destroyed that tiny ugly creature.
