Hello people. Happy new year! I guess I'm a bit late, eh? One thing I had never did in new year is listing things I want to achieve by the end of the year and reviewing it, but I decided to set a new goal for me this year. Here is mine:

1. Make new friends
I used to be a shy girl who had no courage to talk to people even to my relatives. I was so quiet and barely talk to anyone except my best friends, but today I have gained courage to talk more and even possibly become the most talkative person. I love making friends, and feel somewhat happy if I could build a new relationship with people.

2. Be more productive
Finishing my assignment 1 or 2 days before the deadline is my current habit (and also 80% of student population on earth). What I do for the rest of the week? Having too much fun until I forget my assignments and my final project. From now, I will try not to procrastinate and start doing something that worth my time.

3. Start a business
I already started one and looking forward for more progress this year. Back to the second point on the list, I have to be more productive in order to reach the target!

4. Save money
I'm not a big spender. I have to think at least 3 times before I decided to buy something, and I have no plan to change this habit :)

5. Exercise
I seriously need to have a jog, walking around my neighbors, or simply have an aerobic workouts at home. Gonna put my ass off the bed and start to exercise. Here I come flat tummy!

6. Nurture my body
I plan on paying more attention to what happens on my body because I realize how important my body is. Starting to eat vegetables and fruit more, less junk food, using skincare, and no more skipping night cream are already on the list.

7. Have fun
I already have so much fun on 2015 and it ain't gonna change on 2016, there will be MORE fun this year!

8. Learn new things
You know that feel when you are so excited to learn something but suddenly have zero motivation because you are too damn lazy to start? (or is it just me?) First, I want to get rid of my laziness that prevents me of doing something new. Second, I want to possess new skill by then end of the year. Wish me all the luck.

9. Be confident
I am fully aware of my weaknesses and that's not going to stop me from everything. Time to say goodbye to my insecurities.

10. Be grateful
Think about how good is life. How good is YOUR life. Don't forget to be grateful for everything you have achieved until today. Instead of comparing something you don't have to what other people have, why don't we make it a motivation to work harder? God has given you the opportunities and it's up to you how to get the best result out of the chance.

Have you created your 2016 to-do list?


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:
