I wish you knew how thankful I am to have you in my life. You are always there to support me during the difficult times, you are there to listen to my unimportant stories and complaints about everything, you were there when I was hurt and crying out loud at night, you are there to comfort me, you are there through everything.

You are the chosen people who get to see the other side of me, the person I can be open with, the person who knows me better than myself. I don't have to shy or pretend to be a good person around you, I can be myself, I can be whatever I'd like, and you still accept me for the way I am.

We don't get to see each other often, but our friendship never fades. It gets stronger with time. We spend hours laughing and telling stories without feeling bored at all, and I love it. It's like we were made to complete each other with our craziness and weirdness. With you, I feel safe to cry or laugh out loud without worry.

Thank you for being such a very good friend to me more than I deserve. Thank you for the time, the courage, the fun, the laugh, the craziness, the comfort, I simply thank you for everything you give to me.
and I love you for being the best friend anyone could ask for♥

Love,
Me.


I have been worrying a lot these days, waiting for the good news to come. But after the most nerve wracking days of my life, today I finally heard the news which is opposite to what I expected.

Sadly. Unfortunately. Unexpectedly.

But the unusual thing is, I'm not as sad as I thought I would be. I'm not even crying nor angry and disappointed.

As I was waiting for the result, hoping for the best, I have become closer to God. I believe in what He has prepared for me. He knows what's best for me, and through the process, I'm finally able to learn more about myself, and realize that everyone has their own strength and weakness. He has given me this strength to face the result, closed the door that is not meant for me, and open another door for me to walk in. He gives me another chance to prove that I can, and I can't wait to show Him the best result of my hardwork :)

THE WHOLE CREW!



Living with acne (and its red marks, which is worse for me) for years has taught me so many things, and I sometimes got too emotional about this. I was having my worst mood swings for the first time in 20 years I've lived, crying day and night by thinking about how imperfect I am. My emotion was riding a roller coaster, bringing me to sea of tears everyday, for 1 week. and that's not a good thing.

In my opinion, not everyone can understand about what we--people with insecurities about their physical appearance, not only acne, but maybe something else--think about ourselves. I found a forum about emotional and phychological affects of acne and read almost all the threads posted there then finding myself in the middle of sea of tears (again.) I can totally relate to what they feel, because I've experienced it myself and I feel like sending them virtual hugs while saying "I feel you!" *hugs*

Bad news about having insecurities about yourself, in my case it's my acne, is your feeling and emotion can easily destroyed (?) any time, anywhere, by anyone. Like I said, not all people (especially those with flawless looks, who seem to have nothing to be insecure about) can understand about other's feeling about their biggest imperfections. I've been trapped in lots of awkward moments, thanks to my friend, even my relatives, for embarrassing me in public.



The most common situation I bet everyone has experienced it themselves is when someone pointing out your weakness in front of lots of people, where some of them are strangers. Once my friend said "Your face has got so much redder than before. What happened?!" to me as soon as she saw me, and as a result, everyone in that area turning their heads to me to see how red my face was.  I swear you will never want to be in my position at that time. Guess what the moral of this story? Never say something about anyone's who can hurt themselves, especially in front of other people, because it's embarrassing. I've heard the worse version of this, when my friend made fun of my other friend's weight in front of her, which is not funny and hurtful, even I felt offended myself. Luckily, she managed to stay calm and respond jokingly.

I'm super sensitive in this case. I don't find it funny when people laugh or throw not-so-funny comment about people's flaws. Even listening to my friend's comment about my face can hurt me (even though what are they saying are true). I'm not denying realities, but I just can't stand being ashamed, and those kinds of comments make me feel worse about myself. But I have became much stronger in facing those kind of situation now.

Here's a fight song for my fellow acne sufferers who currently in a battle with tiny little red things that can be so annoying. Please don't lose hope, because my heart breaks every time I read all your posts here. Remember God has something for you behind all of this unpleasant experience ♥






Bagi sebagian besar wanita, rambut merupakan aset penting yang perlu dijaga. Bahkan, istilah "Rambut adalah mahkota wanita" menggambarkan rambut sebagai harta, yang sama bernilainya dengan mahkota seorang ratu. Berbagai perawatan, mulai dari yang dilakukan di rumah hingga perawatan yang dilakukan di salon pun digemari oleh wanita, demi menjaga kesehatan dan menunjang tampilan rambut mereka. Tetapi, masalah pada rambut terkadang tidak bisa dihindari dan kerap muncul pada aktivitas sehari-hari, seperti rambut lepek dan berminyak setelah seharian beraktivitas di luar ruangan. Hal ini tentunya akan membuat wanita lebih sering keramas. Tetapi faktanya, terlalu sering membersihkan rambut akan membuat kelenjar minyak memproduksi lebih banyak minyak, akibat keadaan kulit kepala yang terlalu kering. Untuk menyiasatinya, frekuensi keramas perlu dikurangi. Bagaimana menjaga agar rambut tidak berminyak sehingga keramas tidak perlu dilakukan setiap hari?


Salah satu caranya adalah dengan menggunakan dry shampoo atau shampoo kering. Sesuai dengan namanya, dry shampoo merupakan shampoo yang dapat digunakan tanpa perlu dibilas oleh air. Shampoo berbentuk powder/bubuk ini hanya perlu ditaburkan di pangkal rambut dan voilà, rambut kembali indah dan bervolume tanpa perlu keramas. Produk ini tentunya dapat membantu mengurangi minyak, karena dapat menyerap kelebihan minyak pada kulit kepala dan pangkal rambut. Dry shampoo juga dapat digunakan pada rambut bagian bawah, untuk mengurangi lepek.

Célys merupakan salah satu brand dry shampoo di Indonesia. Uniknya, produk yang terbuat dari bahan-bahan alami ini memiliki 3 varian wangi yang berbeda, yaitu: Sweet Chocolate, Lovanilie, dan Green Tea. Ketiga varian tersebut memiliki wangi yang khas, yaitu cokelat, vanila, dan teh hijau.

Sudah siapkah kamu menghadapi rambut berminyak dan lepek?
Get ready to say goodbye to your oily scalp. Bye bye bad hair days!

Roy Kim's songs are currently filling my top jamming songs list. I like how his music is so different than any other mainstream Korean songs. I'm not really into k-pop actually, and only listening to very few of them, but Roy Kim's songs are different, it's the type of song you can play on repeat all day long. I can say that all of his songs are more than qualified to pleased my ear. Here are my MOST favorite Roy Kim's song, hope you enjoy!

1. Love Love Love
Not only the song, I also love the music video because he looks so perfect in the video with that angelic smile (doesn't he?) Been looking for full guitar instrumental or guitar cover version of this song but haven't found any :/ Someone please make it :") Anyway, 3 loves for this song! ♡♡♡



2. Listen to This Song (이 노랠 들어요)


This song makes me feel happy everytime I listen to it. Such a motivation for you who have been through a hard time.

Ooh~ lift up your head

Ooh~ hold my hand

Ooh~ when you’re tired and suffering

When your heart is aching

When you want to lean on someone

Listen to this song

Source 

Just listen to this song whenever you are tired and suffering, because Roy is cheering you!
P.S I particularly love the "Ooh ooh ooh" part



3. Let Me Love You (그대를 사랑한단말)



My heart breaks everytime this song is played, because of its super sweet lyric written by Roy himself.

Oh, the words I love you,
the words I miss you
Can’t I say those words again?
Oh, the words saying that we can’t be
The words saying that I can’t be by your side
Don’t say them to me

Oh, the words I love you,
the words I miss you
Can’t I say those words again?
Oh, the words I wanted to tell you everyday,
the words I can’t ever say again
The words, I love you, I love you
Source 

And I can feel his expression of sadness through his voice. Any other word to describe this song? Yes, and it's spelled P.E.R.F.E.C.T



4. Nothing Lasts Forever (영원한 건 없지만)



This song gives me somewhat 'dramatic' feel (?), and that 'dramatic' part I love the most is the climax part (?) started in 3.10.

Even if you’re not by my side right now

After everything passes, I hope it will be a story without a shadow

I hope it will be a cherished memory, I hope it will be forever

After everything passes, I hope there will only be love

5. Spring Spring Spring (봄봄봄/BOM BOM BOM)



Just like its title, this song is suitable for spring. But yes, you can also listen to this song all year long.
Fact: This song was accused of plagiarism, but he has won the case and proving that the song is original. (You can read the article here)



Now let me sum up this post with reasons why you should love Roy Kim, like I do (especially for girls!):
1. He's young and talented.
2. His has manly voice. Who doesn't love man with manly voice? Definitely not me.
3. He produces good music (and plays guitar too!)
4. His looks is the result of the best DNA combination (from his parents of course lol. okay that's not funny, pardon my humor)

Thank you for reading! Here I present you more pics of him:

Dear my younger self,
Although I'm only 20 by the time this letter is posted, but I feel like old enough to give you a piece of advice.

First, you should get rid of your biggest weakness; insecurities. Enjoy your school life and do not think about anything that will make you insecurity arise. Having fun with your friends is the best way you can do to forget your negative mind. Play more and don't be such an anti-social girl. Learn to overcome your shyness and show the world your true self.

You will soon discover who are your true friends and who are not. You better not to stick with those people who hurt you, instead stay with those who encourage you more because they will help you to grow and improve your self-quality. Remember, high school is more than a popularity contest. Stop trying so hard to become popular. Just stick to your small groups of friends because they will make you happier more than being popular. Trust me.

I know you feel quite depressed because of your performance, but I seriously think 85 is not a bad grade. Don't let anyone convince you that you are stupid. I forbid you to push yourself too hard because you are more than good enough to survive in Science class. Just focus and have some fun wearing your lab coat in Chemistry class because you'll miss it as soon as you graduate, and won't have any chance to wear it again :")

Do you love math class? I know you do NOT love the subject, but you DO love the teacher. Everyone in your class loves him and I want you to enjoy your math class and respect your teacher(s) more, because there will be something you regret if you don't.

Stop blaming yourself for your imperfections. Nobody has no right to judge you. Don't let society's perception of beauty controls you because you are unique and loved ❤ You need to know that.

God is preparing the best for you and your future. Don't be afraid to be different. have courage and embrace the challenges you'll face. You might make a mistake, but it will help you to learn and be a better person. Live your life to the fullest, girl.

Much love,
Your not-so-much-older self. 
This blog has became my diary. In online version. Where everyone can read and probably cringe while reading my posts, because that's what I do while reading my own posts. I posted SO MANY useless things here, my grudge towards someone, my not-so-important-story-that-nobody-cares about anything, and a piece of song lyric (duh). But I'm not gonna put all those posts to trash because I want to keep them as memories, to remind me how "labil" and "alay" I was :") and  today, I've decided to start writing posts that can be useful for other people or at least interesting enough for you guys to read.



omg i cant stop staring at THIS.
is this his REAL account?

i looked for some information about him days ago. "him" refers to someone whose twitter acount i posted below: Park Jae Jung. for you who may not know him, he's korean actor who played in the longest korean drama i've ever known, "You are My Destiny" AND he's the very first--or second?--korean actor that i liked (well actually i'm not sure whether him or Kim Bum whom i liked first but let's just say it's him lol). he is also the very first person whose name i learned to write in hangul, before my friend taught me how to read hangul (i'm 100% sure about this.let's forget about Kim Bum for a while).


I've liked him since the very first time i watched "You are My Destiny" in middle school (I'm a second year university student now) then i forgot about him for years....... until several days ago, when i was randomly searching for korean movies on YouTube, i found this movie called "Sketch", which he starred in, and my mind was like "OMG this is the guy from You are My Destiny." and i started to look for his movies & variety shows appearance

to cut the story short, i finally watched "We Got Married", where he had After School's  UEE as his virtual wife. After watching him again after years, i feel like my fangirl side has came back alive (?) i randomly tweeted about it and mentioned him (i know his twitter account from wikipedia  btw) then i watched "Try to Remember" and i also tweeted (+ mentioned him) about the movie. AND TODAY WAS THE HIGHLIGHT because i just found out that HE FOLLOWED ME BACK ON TWITTER OMG


actually i'm not sure if that's his real twitter or not (because of the number of followers he has ._.) so i started to look for more information on every corner of google. starting from his background information, agency website (which i didn't find), his followers and following lists on twitter, hashtag on instagram, and everything i could search (pardon my basic-fangirling-skill-every-fangirl-should-be-capable-of: stalking) but i'm still not sure whether it's his real account or not, but i'm 80% sure it's real.....and i hope so :")
