A Home For My Thoughts

    @HipDict - @9Gag So today is 16 February, and this is Chinese new year. Happy Chinese new year! Usually people celebrate valentine on 14 February. Not everyone, but most of people. I realize few things : some people really waiting for that day and seriously celebrate it, the other people use it for fun, and some people don't give a shit about it. It is not a serious day to be celebrated for me. Well, maybe, usually when I was still 'active' outside, most of friends gave me chocolate (not only me but they were so kind and buy so many choco to share with people). But other than that, no. I never have a special celebration for valentine. Not even cute romantic special dinner, not even a flower (lol gw minta nih sama suami, gatau doi peka apa nggak). So last year, I still remember, I was still working and spend my February 14th with my colleagues by eating chocolate that I had from everyone. You know it was like the only one who didn't share chocolate is me! ...

  my new passport holder yang gw kira bisa diisi sama buku nikah juga biar praktis. ternyata lebih kek sampul  We decided to go to Bangkok on 30 Dec 2017. So we were celebrating new year together, with two other friends as well (Ramy and Paul). They wanted to have a New Year's dinner in a nice restaurant so we found one and hoped it wasn't close yet because we were there around 10 at night. We ordered like everything there, I can't say no to tasty foods (especially if they are not expensive). Only Paul little bit picky to food, so he ordered chicken and chicken and chicken (only few days before he left, he ate crocodile kebab and he said that was tasty). So I listened to everything they are talking about since mostly they talked about things that I don't really know but I enjoyed it because I am good at listening people I guess. And we were done with dinner 15 mins before midnight. The waiter gave us something to celebrate new year. I thought that there will ...

  Happy New Year 2018 everybody! Kinda late huh? I just got back from seeing my husband, so like usual… I stopped all of my activities when I am with my husband. Either blogging or responding messages on my social media (but I don’t stop on Instagraming hehe). That is the way I respect and appreciate my time together with my husband.  So… everybody has made their 2018’s resolutions? I am here to make my own list for 2018. About what I want to do in 2018 : Be healthier, smarter, sexier, happier. It’s like in one package lol Read 2 books every month. I hope I can make it. I really hope in a year I can read at least 24 books. I put this reading challenge on goodreads. I hope it helps. (I am now reading 1984 by George Orwell, already 1/3 of the book). Doing sport. I extremely lazy for doing sport so I hope I can make it and doing this. Write more good stuff. 2 years ago I wanted to write as much as I can. About the quantity, now I want more about qua...

  I watched this a month after it first premiere. And watched it twice. I love animation movies. Doesn't mean that it is childish but sometimes there is even good moral value behind it. Besides, you don't need to think too much while you are watching it. Always in a funny entertaining package. So Coco also show us some Mexican culture where the day of the dead (Dia de los muertos) that held every year is the important day for them. It is a day where your dead ancestor are going back for one day to the living world. Temporarily, they believe that dead ancestor will be happy if we serve their favorite foods and what they like at home. They also put the photos at ofrenda (kind of altar or a special place to remember the dead ancestor). This is interesting, in the land of dead, they can be dead for the last time if there is no one in the land of living remember their existence. So Coco's father left her and mother to sing for the world. His name is Hector and his ambitio...

Few days ago I met new friends. They are friends of my friend. I helped them for their competition. It's good to know them since the way they think about something is unique and quite close to mine. Until one of them ask me : 'What is happiness for you?' I told them that for me happiness is when I stop compare myself with others and not being compared with anybody else (well, you can compare me with others but don't tell me if you do haha!). I used to compare myself with people. For following their success path might be ok, but for having the same life as theirs who seen successful and happy, I don't think so. So I stop to compare myself with others and it make me feel enough. I feel more relax, since I don't have to pretend or to be somebody else. I feel more 'me' because I only think about me and free to do what I want to do (or to think what I want to think). But one of them said 'For me happiness is when you can breathe, eat, sleep, and p...

  taken from rooftop restaurant Kita tadinya nggak berencana pakai tour guide buat masuk Ayasofya, tapi berhubung si Kadir ini lucu banget dan menarik marketingnya, akhirnya kita ambil dia buat jadi guide kita (meskipun papa paham juga sejarahnya ayasofya dan berkali-kali nanya ke Kadir sampe Kadir merasa 'terancam' karena yang dipandu keliatannya lebih paham daripada dia 😂). Enaknya pake guide , kita bisa dapet prioritas masuk Ayasofya tanpa antri lama, apalagi kalau guide nya orangnya kreatif dan nggak bikin suasana garing. Harga sewa guide nya sekitar 100 lira (25 euro), plus kalo puas ya bisa kasih tips buat dia. Kalau pun nggak mau pakai pemandu, bisa juga sewa audio guide (tapi gw jamin itu boring banget).   bagian depan ayasofya   salah satu pintu masuk ayasofya   Harga tiket masuk ayasofya 40 lira. Kebanyakan harga masuk tempat wisata, museum, apapun yang berbayar ini sekitar 40 lira. Jadi, ayasofya ini adalah bangunan yang tua banget...

    suikerstraat I lived in Surabaya for almost 2 years, but it didn't give me chance to explore the heritage or even do the historical walking tour there. Nope, too busy and too hot. Too busy to eat pentol gila 😎   pentol gila Last week I came to Surabaya for lunch with my friends, and of course to eat foods that are not available in Malang, then wander around some historical places there. I came little bit late there and it was so hot. And it surprised me because they turn Siola into small museum. Curious about that, we decide to see what is inside the museum.   But first, we wander around Jalan Gula. My friend really curious about that road since it is so famous for photography addict. The place is around Kembang Jepun. There you will see some old buildings with Chinese and Dutch style. This area was Chinese and Arab neighborhood when Dutch was still here. Jalan Gula was suikerstraat which is translated into bahasa afterwards, is a small road. ...
