"It takes courage to grow up and be who you really are"

 - E.E. Cummings - 

Hi guys how have you been? 
Lately it has been super hectic for me. Not just work, but I got something big coming up that requires a lot of work and time. But still it's all about setting your priorities straight. Do the things that need to be done as soon as possible, and balance your stress by doing the things you loved. 
For me it's always been this blog. It feels so natural writing this, and let all my passion flows. Like if you watch cartoons, when a character got an idea there's always a light bulb coming out of your head. Well that's the metaphor. I always got excited every time a new idea comes up. That's why I always believe in everyone there's a burning passion for different things. 
Sometimes we got too carried away with work, or maybe school, or other routines. Then life is just a motion, day by day doing the same thing with no excitement. So guys, you are the person who is in charge of discovering your inner talents and potentials. Don't be ignorant when that passion  knocks on your heart, let it all out, and be who you really meant to be.

Back to this post.. It's a recent one  because I just took the shots last week! Singapore has been super damn hot lately..  but still always see the bright side out of everything :) continuing with life,  nothing much happening, is just the same old me having fun taking pictures for my blog!

Teaser of my next post, "Discover"

Everyone got their own thing that makes them happy right? Well for me, I got all excited every time I watched a cooking videos on Youtube, and thinking of when will I try that recipe. So this post is about baking session! This is my comfort zone guys, just spending my "me time" in the kitchen, listening to my spotify playlist, dancing while I'm doing it, is truly a happy place for me. Find your thing, discover yourself and enjoy the moment.

 recipe by Laura in the Kitchen (i just change the raspberry to blueberry)

This recipe was amazing, the taste was fenomenal! you don't need to add anymore sugar to the crust, since the golden oreos itself is already sweet. And the perfect part is that for you people who live abroad like me (where finding an oven in the apartment that you rent is truly rare), you can make this since it is a no bake golden ores tart afterall :)

Time flies so fast! Yeah that phrase is so damn true! I am officially graduated, Bachelor of Science in Banking and Finance from University of London. As you all know, I took my degree in Singapore, and talking  about it, let me give you my flashback and how I love  living there. It's kinda weird though, because not many of my Indonesian friends like staying in Singapore. But weirdly, I loved it. I like how that country thought me to be mature, how to take care of myself, how to develop your own self, but most of all that place had thought me to be person that I am today. Well, I keep on saying the postivites, but there were things that I knew I couldn't adapt to. Such as the competitiveness of every individuals. It's like everyone is in a race competing with one another, who gets the best in whatever areas there were, who got the best jobs, who got the highest scores. well boo to all of that! You should enjoy life, and for me, the only race I'm on is the race of my own destiny. You are your own competition, is either you are stuck on that same spot, screaming like you want to give up, or you can choose to stand up, continue with the race to reach your final destination.

Then talking about destination, I'm reaching another stop in my life. I'm super nervous, but I know life must go on. In October, I will start a new journey as a working adult in Singapore. Yes, I'm thankful God has given me the opportunity to be able to stay in Singapore for few more years, and I'm excited, because I'll be working in a retail Industry. You know what? God knows the desire of your heart, so let me share a bit of my waiting period of my unemployed moments.

Finding a job in Singapore is super hard. I know for sure that my heart is still there, and I'm not ready to go back and work in Jakarta, my home town. Then I prayed to God, asking for this one thing, "God, give me a job..", those were one of my emotional moments during these year. Days by days passed by, few of my friends got their self a job, but not me. When you were in school/university you scream all the time when will holiday come, but when you're stuck doing nothing, you start to feel devastated. I sent out many of my resumes, my daily routine would consist of going to my University's computer lab, sitting for hours, opening many tabs, and sent out as many as resumes as possible. There were many closed doors, so far there were 5 interviews I went to. There were a times were I felt confident that I could proceed to the next stage of the recruitment process, but then the door closed because I couldn't proceed. Then there were times I already prepare 50 of my resumes, but when I came to the career fair the door was closed because I didn't hold an official pass at that time. Then there was a time where I put my hopes out for the company, but the job was not in Singapore. So many closed door, but I still believe God had a purpose for me. This process has thought me, It's not a  matter are you good enough or not, but It's about consistency, keep practicing your interviewing skills, and keep praying, the best will come. Finally after months of waiting, I got it. So friends, don't give up ok?

Move forward, now I have a month to really focus on this blog. I remembered the feeling when I was preparing this, I was nervous. It's been a long time since I did this, so yeah I'm nervous. But back to the first paragraph, I had a reason when I started this blog back in 2009. I love Fashion. That's it, I couldn't proceed to be an expert at Fashion, I didn't get the chance to take a Fashion major as my Bachelor Degree, I didn't have the best SLR/ or any HD Camera that gives great photos, I didn't have the perfect body to display all the clothes that I like, but you know what IT'S OK :). Back to square one. I did this for myself, I'm not a full time blogger, but I am a full time Story Teller. So here's my story, as long as you love this, and it's in your blood, Just keep do it! No one can stop you.

Anyway this new blog comeback will be different than before! I will not only post about Fashion, I'll post about my other passion, such as cooking, healthy life style, make up (my current addiction for a year), and my personal life lessons. It's gonna be exciting!

 

Now back to OOTP (Outfit of Today's Post). So nowadays I really like to try different coffee shop, doing "me time". You know the typical me time for me is reading, blogging, browsing, sketching, and listening to music. It's a must for me to have that so called "me time" at least once a week. How do you like to spend your "me time"? As  for this post, I have my best friend with me.  Basically we both did our "me time" but together, which made it great.
