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...

Product review: Matchamu varian Matcha Latte

Sejak tahun 2012, w udah jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama dengan greentea. Sebagai penggemar dari minuman greentea (khususnya matcha), w termasuk penikmat yang lumayan pilih-pilih untuk rasa dari minuman matcha. Baik itu fresh matcha dari kedai minuman, maupun matcha instan. Minuman greentea pertama yang w icip adalah dari brand j.co: greentea frappe! Dengan rasa yang sedikit lebih pahit dari pada minuman matcha pada umumnya, greentea frappe ini sukses meracuni lidah sw. Seiring waktu berlalu, banyak tempat minum yang mulai menawarkan menu matcha. Tapi susah banget buat nemuin racikan matcha dengan dominan rasa pahit seperti greentea frappe-nya J.co . Lalu tahun lalu, I found it! Matcha latte dari Kedai minuman Point Coffe (Indomaret). With 90% similarity in taste, matcha latte dari Point Coffe ini gak kalah enak dari yang sebelumnya. Dan dengan harga yang lebih murah, kualitas minumannya pun gak abal-abal. W so happy ketemu matcha yang enak dan murah tapi gak murahan ini. Sampai sek...

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 h...

Can I?

Pernah gak sih kalian mikir kalau doa-doa yg selama ini kalian pinta sering salah dijawab oleh tuhan? "semoga bahagia selalu" "semoga aku kaya" "semoga dilancarkan segala urusanku" "semoga sehat selalu" dan semoga-semoga lainnya. I believe that all prayers are good without any coercion from any party. Kamu tidak perlu paksaan orang lain untuk meminta kebahagiaanmu sendiri. Tapi setelah di fikir-fikir, sering kali doa yang kita pinta kepada tuhan itu gak lengkap. For example: Doa meminta kebahagiaan. What kind of happiness that you want? Bahagia dalam lingkup keluarga kah? atau bahagia menjalani hubungan dengan kekasih kah? atau mungkin bahagia dalam hubungan kerja dengan rekan kantor kamu? Here's another exaple: Doa minta kaya. What kind of wealth did you mean? Uang banyak? Dapat duit dari jalan halal? atau mungkin dapat memenangkan harta dari hasil sengketa? Ketika kita berdoa, mungkin yang kita haraokan adalah terkabulnya doa-doa seperti ba...

December, 2020

It's finally December, the end of 2020! Many things are happened in my life during 2020: being a freelancer in a new field, corona (all plans that are canceled because of it, spending time with family in isolation, living a new normal life), learning new skills (copywriting and digital marketing), meeting friends I haven't seen in a long time,  getting new friends, falling in love and being heartbroken, rejection from various opportunities, trying to get closer to god and being grateful, etc.  I've had a lot of lessons this year, especially life lessons. Not all of our wishes can be realized directly, or not even realized at all. Always enjoy the process, and don't forget to be grateful and keep thinking positively especially when the storm comes your way. The emotional turmoil that caused my blood, sweat and tears to come out made me realize that I'm just an ordinary human being who can't always be strong and tough when a lot of distractions are given to me ( e...

Why I rarely posting my writings?

Why did I decide to make a blog if I rarely upload my writings? Yes, I admit that I rarely upload my writing here. But that doesn't mean I didn't write.  All  all my writings on the cellphone are in the drafts folder I have 36 posts on my cellphone note that I have never uploaded and a few posts on my laptop. most of these writings are movie reviews and poems that I wrote myself. I know you will said: "If you have that much writing, why don't you upload it?", right? Me too. The biggest reason why I didn't upload these writings is because of the shame and afraid that I might feel after uploading them. Feel ashamed because I'm still an amateur in writing, ashamed if there are errors in writing, and ashamed if my feelings and thoughts will be consumed by others, Feel afraid because these writings are based on personal opinion, afraid if this article can be misinterpreted, and afraid if my weaknesses will be found from the writ...

Gina's Deep Thoughts About Life: Help From The Almighty

Have you ever thought that your presence is help from God for the success of others? Well, I have. One day, when I was participating in a race, participants were required to take a test to measure their swimming skills. I feel relieved because I have no difficulty in swimming and other swimming techniques like floating and diving. Among all participants, I saw the look on the faces of some participants who panicked because they could not swim. Because it was not my turn for the test, I decided to help participants who had difficulty swimming. I taught them how to float, dive and even swim. After several trials, they were finally able to pass the swimming test even though the results were not very satisfying (and my swimming test results are better than them) .  At the end of the race stage, the participants I helped during the swim test were selected as winners and they got prizes.  Am I angry?   Of course I am.  I feel angry, disappointed, dist...
