Sabar, Bun

 "Aduh, sayang bgt rambutnya udah cantik panjang lurus tp dipotong pendek"

"Gina bagus panjang rambutnya, jd feminin cantik, gin"

"Makin cantik kalau pakai rok gitu, gin"

"Aduh, knp pakai jilbab? Apa gak panas?"

"Itu pakai jilbab kenapa celananya gantung gitu? Kan ga boleh"

"Pakai jilbab itu ditutup dadanya sekalian"

I've been heard all these comments lately (comment about my decision to cut my hair shorter since a long time ago). Lol

Sebagai salah satu manusia yang (bisa dibilang) alergi dengan pujian, w cuma bisa jawab hehe doang sih biasanya kalau dikasih komentar begini. Aku kudu piye if I love doing what I wanna do in whatever methods I wanna used.

Awalnya ngerasa risih dan mikir "suka hati w lah mau pangkas botak kek, mau pakai taplak meja di kepala kek. Pala-pala w kenapa lu lu pada yg repot". Tapi lama-lama w sadar, kalau komentar orang lain ternyata dibutuhkan untuk koreksi diri (walaupun gak semua dan harus disaring sih). 

Pernah nurutin apa kata orang lain, kayak panjangin rambut, pakai dress, wearing make up, and they love it. Tiap hari dipuji terus, disurun pertahanin kecantikannya terus.

Lah dikira rambut panjang atau make up tiap hari tida pakai modal apa? Makin panjang rambut, penggunaan shampo makin banyak, rambut rontok; sering make up isian bedak/listip makin berkurang so musti beli lagi; skincare? lebih kurang make up :')

I've been there done that, zheyeng. Capek. Belum lagi damage ke kulit (khusus buat bedak). Di 2015 atau 2016 (lupa tepatnya), akhirnya w memutuskan cuma akan make up (bedak, foundation, maskara, eyeliner) kalau ada acara gede kayak kondangan aja (but I still using lip stick/lip tint/lip cream walaupun tida rutin hehe) dan di 2017 memutuskan cuma pakai aloe vera gel for my skincare. 

Kadang suka iri sama mereka yang kalau ketemu atau upload foto di sosmed appearancenya glowing in the dark banget (lampu led kali wk). "Kok bisa cerah muka x tu ya", "pakai krim apa dia ya kok bisa hilang jerawatnya", "gila cantik kali muka dia", "suka kali gaya si x kalau bergaya". 

Iri tanda tak mampu? Tentu saja. I haven't been able to accept comments either good or bad about myself :'). Kalau dikomen bagus ngerasa jijique, kalau dikomen jelek ngerasa murka ingim berkata siapa kali anda komen-komen w kayak udah bagus kali.

Intinya sih, whatever you do, do it positively and try to not harm others. Tapi kalau udah ngelakuin semuanya dengan baik dan masih aja di komen orang lain, kembali ke prinsip awal: maximum effort and do not harm others!

Product Review: Tong Tji Tematik varian Matcha Latte

Masih dalam rangka mengganti kopi jadi greentea, pencarian matcha instan masih terus dilakukan agar terbentuknya list greentea/matcha favorit based on my opinion. *cailah* Next product that I'll review is Tong Tji Tematik varian Matcha Latte. Siapa sih yang gak tau Tong Tji. Salah satu merk teh terkenal yang namanya sudah tidak asing lagi ini sekarang mengeluarkan produk minuman latte instan dengan berbagai varian dan salah satunya adalah varian matcha latte.  Sesuai dengan slogannya (Berasa ngafe!), rasa matcha latte dari Tematik ini sangat mirip dengan rasa matcha latte di cafe atau kedai minum lainnya. Dengan kandungan ekstrak teh hijau sebanyak 3.24%, rasa dari matcha latte ini cenderung manis dan terasa banget krimernya. But this one won't be on my list. Udah coba w sajikan hangat, dingin, dan di tambah espresso, but it still same. It didn't suit my taste. Karena rasa manisnya yang dominan, rasa matcha-nya jadi kurang terasa disini. And that's not kind of matcha th...

Hot Chamomile Tea

  Tuesday, December 6th, 2022 Starting the day with productive activities in the morning: laundry!. Accompanied by the rain and thunder that pour in the Coconut Ivory (intentionally translate the name lol) area, this morning's laundry activities were the same as usual. After 3 months of being abroad, laundry is one of the activities that I look forward to the most. Because it helps distract my mind off stressful things. Very pleasant. After I finished laundry and the rain also stop, I did another productive activity: looking for candidates for boarding houses. Why? As a newly unemployed person, I need to reduce expenses and consider looking for a cheaper boarding house. I call it one of the tips for survival hahaha. After visiting the 3 candidates, it turns out that all the rooms are on the 4th floor lol. There is a price for quality: the room is on the top floor (quite far and steep) , quite small in size, and a little dirty. After much consideration, I finally decided not to move...

Anyone? Nobody?

Back in the 8th grade, my English teacher used to give us daily task. One of the task is the listening section where she'll gave a form of paper contains with lyrics from random song and with some blank space on it. We have listen to the song and fill the blank part of the song. I vividly remember that this was one of my favorite subject and I still keep the bundle of paper from back then. Well, one of the song that my teacher gave us to solve is from Karen Young - Nobody's Child. Back then, I have no clue about the meaning of this song and just humming as the song played. Now after knowing the meaning of the song (which quiet sorrow), I'm kinda feel sorry for the old me who used to singing this song happily and with no concern at al. At the age of growing up, I began to face many problems in life: starting from the difficulty of finding a job, the difficulty of adjusting to new things but what must be done to survive, rearranging the hearts and minds that have been heavily...
