A Note To Myself #3

#3 Fake Friends

Welcome to the real world, or I would say this world is not only for good people. But there are some spaces are made for the jerks. I do not want to blame you my "FAKE FRIEND" but I am so thankful for what you did to me because you made me even stronger. I learned a lesson, that there's not such a thing as precious as I am.

I was naive back then, you truly helped me a lot through everything in my life. You are my mentor in life, you teach me everything.

I do not have many friends, yes I am an introvert. I do not talk too much, I get hurt easily. 
I do not wanna be alone. I have been suffering enough with my problem, my self-esteem was too damn low, I mean it's still happening tho.

For me, there is no such thing as competitiveness in Friendship. What I want is that we win together, chasing the sun together, conquer the world together.. But that doesn't exist. I will always remember my friend. Everything I know I'll share to you. But then I realized you never think about me...  

You brought sunshine to me until I forgot that I have been on rainy days. Running late to class because I was losing my bike key, but you did not leave me alone, insisted to stay. You were so nice. I believed that we would be a good friend and still talk right now, but sadly you blocked me. We shared so many stories about our different culture because you're from Russia and I'm from Indonesia. I felt warm in the coldest days in winter. You understand me, unlike other people who stay out of me because I am a little bit different. I remember you helped me out with my presentation speech.
but why were you so nice? When all you did just to forget me while I don't.

Those days when we're struggling to learn the french language because our dream was going to France together. You gave insight about public transportation in Jakarta, accompany me and be patient about my weakness even it took your time. This because I didn't know about Jakarta area .. I didn't go anywhere because I was afraid to travel alone. I was envy and admired you, although you're younger than me, you're so brave and smart. But I didn't get it until one day you stop talking to me, stop smile or laugh with me. I just, I don't get it until now. I tried everything to talk to you back and smile..... being nice, after all, what you did was just ignoring me. And what so funny about you, at the end of the internship days, when we need to collect our Essay report, you still need me to print out your doc and sent it to our University, because you said that the printer was broken at the place where you did your internship. You texted me for the first time... called me "babe" what?? are you just being nice when you need something? I couldn't ignore her just like she did to me, instead, I helped her because I know if she missed collecting the report she would have failed her Uni. But when we met once again, she ignored me back and not even a single word of thanks out of her mouth or chit chat about how well I was. Well.... bye then .. I can not look your face from my stories or my feed anymore... But at least, I still being me, a good girl and your good friend.
Bye, my dear fake friends.
Thanks for the lessons.
When I'll meet people like you, it'll be easy for me
not hurt that much again.

Restaurant Review Of The Month

Hola! 
What a beautiful day to start your journey actually, but you have to work at home right? No worries after all this pass.. you can do all you want to do .. like going outside see the beautiful blue sky. It is very important these days, you have to maintain your health condition by eating healthy foods and drink plenty of water. Don't forget to take some vitamin C and please stay inside. I prefer you to read my blog instead. Remain calm, make yourself so comfy at your home... do what you love.. as for me I choose to write and share a little bit my experience.

Usually, before I decide to go somewhere else I will always check the review first. Or if I found a cafe or place that accidentally interested enough for me, I will share it on my blog about how I feel and it is an honest review.

I guess my review about food is rated as hotel standard because of my past experienced study and working at a hotel. I would not say that I'm a kitchen expert, but I have sort of experiences that I am quite confident about it. Or you just call me a food lover, that's it.

Okay, I have passed this restaurant by chance, and it looks cute, greenery and the fact that I love plants so much, so I decide to stop by. I did not take any photo from the front of the restaurant. I only took a photo from the inside.

It was on Saturday night but luckily it was not crowded, quite comfy for me or I guess not so many people have known about this place yet.

Here the look from the inside

and it's the look behind me ... I thought it is a real plant but it is a fake one.. there is also some giant neon lamp thing with Love at first sight inscription. The ambience got me so, I would spend more hours just to chit chat with my love ones. Although the plants aren't real, they do look real, so well done for the fancy not so expensive design idea for this restaurant. Okay for the summary of the whole restaurant looks is so instagramable, I give 7 out of 10 for feeding your Instagram post. Believe me, you will not disappointed for taking so many photos in every angle in this restaurant.

Okay let's talk about the foods and beverages

I ordered Italian sandwich it was quite fancy just how it looks from the photos but as for me, the taste is just so-so nothing special, very standard for 35 k Rupiah. All the menu variation is seemed adaptable to the young gen, mostly are western menu like kinds of pasta, sandwiches/ burgers, steaks... Surprisingly, they also have some Asian menu like noodles, curry to Indonesian fried rice. Quite impressed by how they present the menu.

And for desserts and beverages are creative, very into what's in now like variation of coffees and teas, shakes and nitro gas thing beverages that I ordered was Blue Sunshine and not that I was expected as a nitro beverage but when you look the price for 25 k you won't be surprised, it tastes unique but the taste just like the mix of several syrups, not worthy for me for that price I suggest you order shakes or coffees, but if you want to try it that's okay the nitro beverages still look fancy enough. For the desserts, they keep up with the boba which is very popular now on. 

Le's take a look for the price, I think it's quite pricey when you see the food proportion but the way they selling up by packed up elegantly makes the food looks stand out on the photo. Range food about 20 k up to 45 k, for beverages 7k up to 35k very standard. The ambience mostly selling more. Well not bad to revisit the restaurant, but honestly the foods are not the reason you want to come back.

So hi... Thanks for reading my blog, I hope you stay healthy! please revisit and subscribe to my blog. 

Thank you.

A Note To My Self #2

#2Friendship 

/ˈfrendʃɪp/ A relationship between friends.

Friends are passing by like cloud every time, they have some kinda era in your life. But that does not mean you have forgotten the time that you have spent together, through the sunny, snowy and rainy days. 

Sometimes we hurt their feelings or vice versa, well that's alright we are just human. That is how friendship teaches us forgiveness without being an egoist.

They remind us when we forget about who we truly are, they are always there when you need a little push to conquer your mountains.

There is no such a thing as " I " instead there will always " WE ", it's all about us, not me.

I have been reading a book called The Things You Can See Only When You Slow Down by Haemin Sunim, and there's part explained relationship including friendship. It says, " The art of maintaining a good relationship can be compared to sitting by a fireplace, if we sit too close for a long time, we may feel hot or even get burned, if we sit too far we can not feel the warmth". 

As for me in friendship is all about always be the one who wants to be treated kindly. But you gotta follow the formula first, how? By treat people the way you wanna be treated.

Be kind when they're not...

Hope you're surrounded by people who only have a true feeling about you.. if you do have please cherish them.

If it does not work well just be kind even more.

From your true friend of yours

A Note To Myself

Dear future me,                                             

Please do not be so hard on yourself, because life is already hard enough. Please be gentle on yourself ! Don't you ever forget that you are you, still a dreamer with passionate heart, mind and soul, without even knowing what future holds. The only thing you know is just to fight by setting your goals until the end.

Have you seen enough my future me? You have grown now, see yourself on the mirror. Indeed, dreams do truly come true. Remember that! you still have the young soul that you had when you were a high schooler. You were like .. talking loudly about your dream and never thought of what people might think of yourself. Even maybe you are now, would think how silly were you or how bulshit that words. But they did. Those words... they happened in your life. Those beautiful words were your prayers and you kept repeating in your mind and mentioned in your prays, moreover mentioned in your family prays. So now, why are you doubting too much about yourself ? Go see yourself! See your old pictures! 

Remember those lovely days you have spent, seen beautiful sunset and crystal clear water while you were singing your favourite song castle on the hill by Ed Sheeran, walking bare feet along the exquisite beach while carried your favourite tote bag that you bought in the night market with your favourite quotes from paper town movie, saying " I'm in love with cities I have never been to and people I have never met".

Life is indeed a roller coaster said Zayn malik, you just gotta enjoy it until the rest of your life. And as for me, life is truly full of surprises, sometimes it gives you a shock therapy that you need when you're not on the right track, but sometimes a whole world is on your side. Just like one of your fave songs came into reality, it says 'I'm on my way. Driving at ninety down those country lanes singing to tiny dancer and I miss the way you make me feel, it's real and we watched the sunset over the castle on the hill" you witnessed a castle, watched the sunset nearby a river, drove through the beautiful countryside in Pierrefitte. 

what else I can prove to you dear future me?  What do I've missed?

You deserve so much love for yourself... You're too back then were doubting about how far you go but it didn't matter, right? you never think you would fail, do you? Even tho it's hard but you have been through it. But now why are you thinking too much the possibilities of you getting fail? Although all dreams do come true, they take time and efforts my dear me! Don't be distracted by anything! Age? It's just the number, it doesn't define who you truly are. Time? everyone has their own time to have their success. Money? your success doesn't count on how much money do you have, but what you have on the inside, that's your value and your core. Education? education can not guarantee your success but it helps you find who you are by learning every day. Just be focus on yourself growth! and be braver like even more!

p.s you're 10 out of 10 even when you forget!

with loves to my future me that have been so wonderful with your fights, you're stronger than you think.

Perfect by Ed Sheeran (French Version)

Bonjour a tous! today post i would like to post one of my favorite song but in french as i promised you that i would share something in french that maybe would help you improve your french language. So no more talk talk here is the Parole! Enjoy

Perfect (French Version)

J'ai trouvé l'amour

Fait pour moi

Ne regarde pas autour

Et suis mes pas

J'ai trouvé un homme

Si beau et si doux

Je ne savais pas qu'ensemble bientôt

On créerait un nous

C'est enfants qu'on est tombés amoureux

Pour nous ce n'était qu'un jeu

Je ne partirai pas demain

Embrasse moi comme tu sais

Ton coeur est tout ce que j'ai

Et dans tes yeux tu tiens le mien

Bébé je danse dans le noir

Dans le creux de tes bras

Le coeur rempli d'espoir

Tout en écoutant notre chanson

Tu dis ne pas le mériter

Soudain j'ai le souffle coupé

Oui crois moi

Chéri tu es parfait ce soir

J'ai trouvé un homme

Plus fort que n'importe qui

Il partage mes rêves et j'espère

Partager sa vie

J'ai trouvé l'amour

Pour supporter plus que mes secrets

Pour cet instant où je porterai

Nos enfants

Nous sommes encore jeunes mais nous nous aimons

Luttant contre le temps

Je sais que tout ira pour nous deux

Chéri tiens moi la main

Suivons notre chemin

Je vois mon futur dans tes yeux

Bébé je danse dans le noir

Dans le creux de tes bras

Le coeur rempli d'espoir

Tout en écoutant notre chanson

Je crois en ce que je vois

J'ai rencontré le bon

Oui tu dois me croire

Chéri tu es parfait ce soir

Je ne le mérite pas

Tu es parfait ce soir

Budget Travel Guide to Chambord Castle

If you're visiting France or better be an international student like me and wondering how you can go travelling on a budget. Well, guess what? It's super cheap. And better you're under 25 years old believe me you're not going to spend a lot of money entering every museum in France tadaaaaaa. As you have known before France is well known for its art, museums, foods, landscapes, villages, cheese huufft getting tired here!! and even Fashion, almost forget this one. Yaasss I know it's such a privilege for the youth to go to see the world, having experience and be more open-minded or even you wanna practice your French language? be my guest ... ahh, next time I should give some french lesson that you can use if you were in France.

 Ah well, personally I am a lucky girl who is living in my dream by having an experience abroad and stay for some time. Enough for learning new things and involving in cultural diversity. So when you have some time to travel in France make sure you make a carte de jeune why because that is the best way to go around France or even Europe. You'll get a discount every time you purchase a train ticket in France we know it by SNCF. Because I am an international student in tourism major, I choose to go to the Museums to learn history, art and become a tourist and trying to be local by getting the knowledge about France itself. So my last training was in central France and I studied in Angers Univ in west France so these areas are passing by the river that they called by Loire Valley. What is fantastic and enchanted bout this river alongside the river were built castles. From the very old castles in middle ages to Renaissance. I was fascinated by its beauty and also its garden which typically French garden.

Low budget make up hacks

Bonjour mes amours!!

Today's post kali ini i'm going to show you some tips and tricks make up . Are you make up addict? Do you want to be MUA? Love to wear make up?  Tapi minim dana aka low budget. This post is the best for you because i will share you some tips and review sedikit soal make up.

So this look aku created dengan ala kadarnya karna mascara aku abis, eyeliner liquid gak punya trus buat contour2 an aku gak punya. Jadi walaupun peralatan make up gak mendukung sama sekali, akupun mengakalinya.

Nih kalo kepo aku pake product apa, ini jujur banget ya guys, karna ini emang yang aku punya sekarang ini.

1. Eyeshadow aku pake Mirabella(produk lokal)

2. Sariayu eyeliner pencil

3. Wardah BB cream

4. Wardah aloe vera gel

5. lipstick wet and wild vamp it up

6. Sephora Blush to go 03 miss spicy

7. Wardah lipbalm

8. Carrefour water face spray

9. Eyebrow pencil(lupa merek, itu beli yg murah kok guys)

10. Kiko Milano highlighter stick

udah itu aja... whattt ?? kok bisa sih?? are you kidding me??

No no no guys wait okay i'll explain shortly okay?

Okay before start, you have to make sure that your face is clean either your hands, second spray your face with water spray(disini aku pake merek Carrefour aku beli di Prancis masih ada Alhamdulilah, tapi evian disana juga murah kok guys dibandingkan di Indo), then wait till dry up trus aku pake wardah aloe vera gel, sumpah ini aku sukaaa banget karna gak lengket dan ringan cocok banget sama kulit aku yg dehydrated to oily gitu jadi gak kering dan ngurangin minyak berlebih, tunggu beberapa saat yah sampe menyerap pake nya gak usah lebay yah soalnya abis ini mau pake foundation. Then aku pake BB cream nya wardah ini juga ku suka karna gak berat banget di kulit aku yg oily yaahh. Untuk menangkis dark circle bagian bawah mata, aku cuma tebelin aja pake foundation. Gak pake concealer2 an karna mahal hiks. Abis itu aku pake eyeshadow as you know yah eyeshadow aku gak mahal dan kurang pigmented trus aku akalin nya pake lip balm dulu sebelum di aplikasikan color shadow yg kamu suka dan hasilnya quite amazing akutuh jadi nyala banget warnanya dan nempel banget di mata jadi mata aku look sparky gituuuu.... Trus eyeliner aku cuma pake yg eyeliner pencil aja kalo mau pake efek liquid tinggal panasin ujung nya trus tunggu kurang lebih 12 detik agak cool down dia baru deh di apply ke mata, jadinyaa kaya pake eyeliner yg liquid gituuu.

Nah untuk alis( juga bisa pake shadow kamu yg warna coklat gelap) sama contour aku pake warna shadow yg coklat juga trus ratain aja ke wajah sama hidung(biar mancung guys hehehe).. Trus jangan lupa pake highlighter di bagian tulang pipi, tulang hidung sama atas bibir sapuin aja pake tangan biar gak too much. Kalo lipstick karna aku usknya warna anti mainstream yah jadi aku beli ini deh, jarang banget dipake asli hahaha karna asliny aku jarang dandan tapi suka dandan gimansih ?? hahahaha kalo wet and wild sih udah matte yah cuma kalo mau ditambah in efek shiny kaya di MUA yg di instagram instagram kan mereka suka pake lipstick lain yg warnanya mengkilat ada sparkle sparkle gitu, nah disini aku siasatin pake eye shadow aku yang warnanya muda dan sparkle2 gitu yg biasanya dipake diujung mata kita bagian dalam... truss waahh asli sih gak perlu sampe pake lipstick ampe berkali kali beda warna , yah kalo kalian mau ikutin kaya MUA2 itu sih tapi low budget tinggal pake eye shadow kalian yg warna match sama lipstick kalian deehhhh , gimanaa?? Gampang kan?? Gampang, murah dan hasilnya beda tipislah sama yg pro.. Kalo kalian bilangnya make up gua masih basic yah emang karna gua gak jago2 amat yah dan gak suka terlalu fake banget bukan wajah gua, jadi orang gak kenal kita gitu yaahh kan ?? Ohhh yaa maaf maaf kelupaan, aku pake lipbalm ato petroleum jelly buat pengganti mascara guys. Et voilaaa gini jadi nya look aku pake minim cosmetic. Ini fotonya no filter sama sekali yah biar rada jelas dan tau hasilnya gimana.. Sekali lagi ini aku puas dengan hasilnya dan hasilnya juga gak fake banget.. Trus maaf yah ini bukan salah cosmetic nya tapi aku yang masih minim skill make up. Follow me, subscribes and give your comments below yaaaahhhh

Merci a tous! Bisous muah muaahhh
