  1. Trip to Bandung

    Saturday, November 16, 2013


    For my Business Creation class in school, I'm working with a team named Kedai Kombi. Kedai Kombi is a mobile cafe which (will) serve your coffee in a VW Kombi :) pretty awesome isn't it. For our business development, we went to a coffee field in Cibeber, Bandung, last week. My team consists of 5 people, 4 guys & just 1 girl myself. We (or maybe they) argue a lot, sometimes they have different point of views, we might get lots of distraction while working, but I love them nonetheless :) working with people who's very passionate with what they're doing is such a wonderful experience to have.

  2. I've learnt that.....

    Saturday, November 2, 2013

    1. you cannot make someone love you. all you can do is be someone who can be loved. the rest is up to them
    2. no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back
    3. it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it
    4. it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts
    5. you should always leave loved ones with loving words. it may be the last time you see time
    6. there are people who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it
    7. true friendship continues to grow, even the longest distance. same goes for true love
    8. just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have
    9. no matter how good a friend someone is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that
    10. just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other. and just because they don't, it doesn't mean they do
    11. the people you care about the most about in life are taken from you too soon
    12. love is not for me to keep, but to pass on the next person I see
    13. I still have a lot to learn..

  3. The worst panic attack

    Tuesday, October 22, 2013

    This morning, I've had 2 cups of coffee, which was pleasant (at that time). But now, the caffeine is reacting and I think I had too much of it. Tomorrow is the first day of midterm tests. We're going to have Religious Study test, followed by Statistics on Thursday, & Macroeconomics on Friday. I haven't understood ANY MATERIAL for those tests. NOT A SINGLE CONCEPT. And I'm very worried. And my panic attack is acting up again. Which is so not helping. Oh how I hate this anxiety disorder. 

    All I need is him. And I'm not even joking. I tried not to depend on people, but unfortunately, the only person who could calm me down is him. 

    AND WHY AM I STILL WRITING THIS POST WHEN I SHOULD BE STUDYING!
    THIS MIDTERM SCARES THE SHIT OUT OF ME!
    AND I CAN'T FUCKIN CALM DOWN!

    okay enough with the capslock.
    ADIOS!

    XOXO,
    nna

    ps: wish me luck! pls I'm begging you, pls pray for me and my midterm tests :(

  4. Take me back to the start.

    Monday, October 21, 2013

    I'm on my 3rd semester now and we already went through almost half of it, this wednesday's going to be our first day of midterm exam. But honestly, it feels rubbish. The 3rd semester is awful :( I don't know, maybe odd semesters have always been awful, you know, all the process of finding new friends, new classmates, this time, new place to live, new lifestyle, etc. Having to lose my close friends in every semester sucks, big time you know. Definitely not the easiest time of my life. 

    I realized that I'm not feeling genuinely happy. All I wanna do during weekdays is to come home on the weekends because school is just extremely tiring. I'm constantly worrying and comparing myself to other people. What is wrong with me? I don't have a clue. However, I'm very grateful for my new family, Difa, Nabila, Babeh, Farlin, Galing, Harindra, Chiu, Dharma :) eventhou people may come & go, I'm glad (at least) I still have some close friends that I could really trust. Sometimes I do still feel lonely, but those days spent with them make it feels bearable.

    I haven't talked about this to anyone, even Ovan cause I'm scared people might assume that I'm seeking for attention, weird, always complaining (well, can't you stop worrying --"). Some people don't understand how hard this anxiety & depression are and how awful they could affect every aspect of my life. But I'm tired &I hope by writing it out, the feelings & most importantly, my messed up way of thinking would go away and I can go back to being genuinely happy again. I'm looking forward to the better days. 

    XOXO,

  7. I miss being able to sleep easily at 10 PM. Haha, I'm serious though. I've been having (I think a pretty serious) trouble sleeping. Lately I've been sleeping at 3AM in the morning and always wake up at around 10-11AM, unless I have something to do. I hate being awake when no one's available. I just want to go to sleep without having to deal with my own thoughts or find something to do to escape my boredom. It's no fun. I also miss waking up early. Now I only wake up early on Saturday and Sunday.

    XOXO,

  8. I've always have problems with my confidence level, because I always feel insecure. Like I'll never be good enough, I'll always make mistakes, nobody loves me, I'm not pretty, I'm not smart, I'm in a wrong path, etc. I'm pratically a girl with no self esteem. I also suffer with anxiety, which is very unpleasant and sometimes all I wanna do is spend time at home because I'm just to afraid to even walk out of my comfy zone / hiding place :(

    Just like a normal people, I have fears and one of the worst is fear of rejection. I've managed to overcome some issues with these fears, but I often failed. As I grow up, I learn to think more realistically and learn to love myself and accept myself the way I am. It's a really long and hard proccess and I am still learning to love myself even until now. My perception and point of view is messed up, it's not even normal to think about how unlovable I am, because it's not true and it might stop you from doing things and having new experience. I started to say yes to almost every challenges and try not to overthink it. Overthinking often leads to some major problems and worries always make things seems worse than it is. 

    I wouldn't describe this situation as a problem that I've had, because however, I'm still learning on how to deal with anxiety and low self esteem :)

  9. Do I believe in soul mates? I guess mostly I'm not sure. A part of me wants to believe that there is a person out there in the world that was made exactly for you & these person's hands fit perfectly into your own, and you can almost swear that the freckles that fall down their back spell out your name if you look right at it in just the right light.

    But the other half of me understands that even if there was such a thing as soulmates, they wouldn't be the ones you end up with. They would be the broken hearts and lessons learned. They would be the shooting stars of love. Because when I think about it, having someone made especially for you is a hell of a lot of pressure. What if the you they were made for, isn't the you that you are now? What happens then?

    Soul mates are for dreamers, but I think I saw you in my sleep.

  12. Someone who really facinates is none other than Walt Disney :) I don't want to go all details about this, because obviously I don't know him personally. But I'm the kind of person who are easily facinated by the little things and one thing I know for sure, Disney movies and the life lessons behind it always facinate me and leave me amazed. I know that nowadays, the movies are not developed and created or written by Walt Disney himself, but however he left some legacies behind and it will always live among the Disney Company. He is such a legendary person to me. The keys behind his success still apply until today, which are imagination, dreams, and hardwork. 

    He was, after all, one of the pioneers of animated films and a champion of imagination. Disney carried us on into the future by building on stories from the past. From him, we could learn about how to follow our dreams, embrace our inner child, and do more of what we love. The father of Mickey Mouse teaches us valuable lessons about creativity, preseverance and believing in yourself and fighting for your ideas.

    Disney's work continues to inspire us and his world-famous cartoons live on. But some of Disney's best lessons are about how he approached life with an endless dose of curiosity and determination to entertain and awaken the child within us. 

    We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious, and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. 

    PS: Have you ever wonder how awful our childhood would be if we don't have / experience disney films? :)

  13. Feeling blue because of...

    Saturday, August 17, 2013

    I don't know what is wrong with me in the last couple of days. I know that everything is doing fine, nothing's wrong and I don't have any problem. But lately I've been finding myself wanting to feel sad and listen to some sad songs all day long, hiding in my bedroom with minimum lights. I don't know what is wrong with me. I don't have a single idea. 

    Maybe some of you guys who also watch British Youtubers (like I do) know that Zoe + Alfie have confirmed their relationship on Zoe's blogpost and (finally) we know that Zalfie is real and it sure is a THING which I'm very happy to find out :) They are my OTP forever and ever and it's such a shame to not see them together. They say they don't want to be a youtube / online couple. Now, I am very very happy for them, but suddenly I think about it and realize that there might be something awkward between them whenever they make a video together or do a vlog together and whatnot. I don't really know thou, I said MIGHT, it's just my speculation. Seeing the old Zoe + Alfie act around each other without a single care in the world in their past videos makes me feel slightly sad and worried if things aren't going to be the same anymore. I know that it's not my business, but as a shipper, I just can't :( OH THE FEELINGS. If you ever shipped some fictional character over some books, movies, tv show, you might know the feeling. But this is some real couple we're talking about guys. I just don't want bad things to happen to them that could cause a break up. I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING RIGHT NOW AND WHYY?!?!?!?! IT'S RIDICULOUS I KNOW. That's why I don't think it's normal to feel sad over my OTP that I don't even know personally. I don't want to talk about it, but I definitely know it kinda make me emotionally unstable.

    Also I've been reading some Zalfie fanfiction on wattpad.com which also makes me sad and cried a bit. It's frustrating but I keep on searching for more. I think feeling sad is contagious, cause sometimes I found myself wanting to feel sad and just cry over everything -_-" gawd you're 18! Grow up.

    My holiday is ending in 2 weeks. Ovan is even starting another semester next Monday and he's back to his busy routine. It kinda makea me feel lonely knowing he might not be available and I can't see him as often. It's like starting all over again to overcome the same issues, getting used to do things on my own. Lately, all I want is to be hugged by him and just feel his presence without feeling the need to talk or say a single word. I guess I'm trying to hide my fear and run from it. I'm always a bit scared of having new class, new friends, new environment to live in cause it means I'm out of my comfort zone and I don't have anyone to run to. I hate the uncertainty. Guess I haven't grown up that much. 

    I've been listening to Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean which makes everything feels much more depressing than it actually is. I don't know what is wrong with me, honestly. I don't want my holiday to end :(:(:(

  14. My favorite movie is Easy A :) It's the film that makes me notice about Emma Stone and she made it to my list of favorite actress. It's a girl, Olive Penderghast, who's just a nobody in high school who suddenly become the talk of the school jst because she improves her goofy story about having lost her virginity to some college guy. It was just suppose to be a joke. She lost her reputation and gain another and uses it to help her gay friend in school to end bullying. Which leads to another issues. It's such a funny yet smart movie :)

    This is definitely my favorite movie of all time. I love the humor style, the irony, and of course, the sarcasm in this movie :) Don't make up some story, even if we're just joking, make sure people don't take it seriously. Be careful, people might judge you and whatnot, but then again, there are always two sides of a story :)





    “Whatever happened to chivalry? Does it only exists in 80’s movies? I want John Cusack holding a boombox outside my window. I want to ride off on a lawnmower with Patrick Dempsey. I want Jake from Sixteen Candles waiting outside the church for me. I want Judd Nelson thrusting his fist into the air because he knows he got me. Just ONCE I want my life to be like an 80’s movie. Preferably one with a really awesome musical number for no apparent reason.”

  15. So excited to do this posttttttt.
    5 of my favorites attractive guys in no particular order comin right up!

    Alfie Deyes (click here for his YT channel)
    He is YOUTUBE FAMOUS okaayyyy?!?!?! He's just funny, charming, good looking. I know he might not be the most handsome guy out there, but this guy, he gets me okaaay? and he's also British, so what more can you ask for? eventhough he recently confirmed that he's in a relationship with another YT beauty guru, Zoella, but I'm okay with that :")

    Bonus GIF: Alfie, biting his lips. PLS ALFIE STOP *Ovaries explode* 


    Jack & Finn Harries (click here for their YT channel) 
    Another pair of YT famous (can't you tell that I'm addicted to youtube, it's my life!!!) they're also British, they're funny, smart, and of course DROP DEAD GORGEOUSSSS. and plus, they're cheeky!!


    Robert Downey Jr.
    He's an American actor and his acting skill is just sheer genius, it is MINDBLOWING. Eventhough he's amazing at playing Mr Stark in IronMan, my favorite character of him is Sherlock Holmes. I've seen GIFs of him on tumblr and I can't even tell the difference between his real personality and his character's, because in real life, Robert seems like a bit of an arse, but in a good way though and he has an awesome sense of humour. 


    and last but not least, Ryan Gosling
    Even though this list is not in a particular order, but I gotta admit that he is my favorite actor of all time. I don't know why, I just love him beyond reasons.

  16. Hmm 2 years ago is 2011, so lemme upload some photos of me 2yrs agooo :):):)


    I wanna die lookin at this photo --" idk why I feel embarrassed ._.
    I don't think I change that much though, looking at pictures, esp from 2012 to 2013. Well maybe my hair doesn't look a lot curlier like it used to :) but I'm still the girl with huge chubby cheeks and a pair of tiny eyes.
    Character wise, I guess I've grown (A BIT) more mature, I rarely cry and feel sad and can handle things on my own, but one of my biggest struggle in life, which is having insecurity & anxiety, still ignores me and get the crap outta me :( I still need to work on that, and also try to stop with the negative thoughts. I know that overthinking only makes things worse, but I just don't know how to stop.

    now let's compare to how have me & ovan changed in the past 2yrs :) I guess he's the one who changed A LOT physically. But ovan said, I'm A LOT LOT BETTER now, maybe because I'm very childish back then :P

  17. DAY 21: One of Your Favorite Shows!!!!!

    Sunday, August 11, 2013

    Can you guess what my favorite tv show is?!!!! hehe *drumroll*


    IT'S SHERLOCK!!!! :D :D :D it is my absolute favorite tv show ever, I watched all the 6 episodes, which has one and a half hour duration in each episode. It was EPIC! Sherlock is a British television crime drama that presents the contemporary update of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories, it's a modern version as you can see from the picture above. Since it's a modern timing, Sherlock & Watson both use technologies that are available today to solve crime. 

    I just love the cast & the character, Benedict Cumberbatch is such a perfect fit to potray the weird odd yet brilliant Sherlock. Series 1 & 2 have aired on BBC channel and I think series 3 is coming but they haven't release the air date yet. One of my favorite episode is The Hound of Baskerville where Sherlock solve the case that has to do with some monstrous creature, it was surreal. 

    Sherlock & Dr. Watson with their iconic 221B Baker Street apartment

    Oh and besides Sherlock, I also watch Criminal Minds, NCIS, and Pretty Little Liars :)

  18. Before I'm going to discuss how important education is to our life, I want to remind you that GRADES & GPA DON'T DEFINE WHO WE ARE!!! :) :) sometimes intelligence is not good enough. But still, education is such an important thing in life. Here's the thing, when it comes to education, it's all about the process, honey, not always about the result. 

    Although there are some people who become successful without education nowadays, whether in their business or whatever they do in life, doesn't mean you don't need your education boys & girls! Education is needed to reach our maximum potential and minimize mistakes. Those people who become successful, don't even think they did it all in once and then BAM, they become successful! NO, they've been through ups and downs, they don't always succeed, there are always some consequences and maybe even failure in the middle of process. With education, we know more about things we need to avoid during process of work, pros and cons, some background theory of how things work & their purposes, procedures, and other stuffs and knowledge that we might need in the future to pursue our dream jobs & carreers.

    Life is not always about grades or GPA. If you don't fully understand what you're studying, it doesn't mean that you're stupid. Sometimes things required a bit (or maybe even a lot) of effort and that's what matters. Being successful is not about knowledge & intelligence, it's about being hardworking and mostly PASSIONATE about what you're doing. Years of being in school would prepare you mentally with the things you're going to face in life. It also helps us to be more socially developed, know how to work in groups / with other people and also gain experience, which is way more important than just intelligence.  To earn more, you gotta learn more. 


    So before you're going to whine and complain about how tiring your school life is, try to be more grateful and motivated because what lies ahead is going to be even more and more challenging. Don't forget to be thankful to your parents who always patiently motivate you for providing you with good school to support your education :)

  19. I'm still trying to remember if I have ever disrespected my parents while I'm writing. Hmm, for me, I would always try avoid conflict with my parents, I don't like to argue with them, let alone raise my voice when I talk to them. I think it's because I'm such an emotional person, arguing with my parents always makes me feel sad and always leave me crying. Like when you're so mad till you cry? It's an unpleasent feeling for me so I do as best as I can to avoid conflict. 

    When I disrespect my parents, it means that I'm hurting them. But I think it's different when you do something / make choices and the action disappoints your parents and make them feel disrespected. Do you get what I'm saying? I know it might ended up to the same thing, but at least you're not doing it on purpose. It means sometimes you need to stand up for yourself, tell your parents what you want to do in life, show them that it's not as bad what they think it is. But if they would never agree with you, then you should do what you parents told you, they know better than you, have more life experiences and of course they makes the decisions based on their own reasons. We also need to understand why they make some choices eventhough it contradicts our own life choices. Parents have higher authorities than us, teenagers & young adults. But we still have the right to make choices. 


    I think I've disrespected my parents once or twice back in middle school. I don't really remember the problem though ._. On the other way around, my parents have never disrespected me either, you know, like calling names, yelling at me, throw things and what not. They're respect their children's choices, never force to do what we don't want to do, and always encourage us to pursue our dream job & passion :)

    Colossians 3:20 (NKJV)
    Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well pleasing to the Lord.

  21. DAY 18: Your Beliefs

    Friday, August 9, 2013

    I BELIEVE IN GOD, which is the most important thing in the world :) I belive He has a plan and destiny for my life that I need to fulfil.

    I believe in giving & receiving (tabur tuai) and pls don't get it mistaken by karma. I don't believe in karma, eventhough I do think it has the same meaning. Basically, what you give is what you get. 

    I believe that kindness and hardwork will get you anywhere, eventhough other people don't see it. Someday it'll pay off. 

    I believe in holy spirit and I do believe that there's evil spirit everywhere. Ghosts are not real, but evil spirits are. So do spiritual war.

    I believe humans are created in pairs(?) JODOH GA AKAN KEMANA hehehe :") I believe in true love & soulmates

    I believe everything happens for a reason. Whether it's a lesson or an experience. Things happen for a reason. He has a plan for us remember? :)

    and lastly, I believe in ZALFIE SHIP!!!! lol hehe :)

  22. Highs
    Having awesome friends, spend time with them, having the time of my life hanging around them. Nilai UAS yang meningkat dibanding UTS. Learning to live healthier eventhough I don't lose that much weight. I get to know who my real friends are. Had the most awesome roadtrip with my friends. Having such a lovely relationship with my boyfriend. 

    Lows
    Dealing with a lot and a lot of insecurities, worries, and negative thoughts. Feeling I'm not good enough, like I've taken the wrong path for taking business as my major just because I fail at my economics subjects. Getting to know who my real friends might sound awesome, but it's bumpy journey. Friends come and go :( Sometimes I feel like I'm such a loner because I only have a few friends who really know & understand me. Having to get out of my comfort zone in every semester and start over everything :( but I guess it makes me depend more on HIM :)

    It's already August and 2013 is going to be over in 4 months. I'm still looking forward for some awesome things / moments with my friends & family. I believe that the BEST is YET to come :)

  23. I don't judge another's taste of music. If they love a certain kind of genre, well, let them -_-" But for me, mainstream music are the songs that are being played over and over again on PRAMBORS FM!!!! Like seriously it makes me sick listening to the same song over and over again -_-"



    Mainstream music is not about the artist. Some people say Justin Bieber, One Direction, The Wanted, or maybe David Guetta, Calvin Harris are mainstream. For me it's all about the song. For example, Boyfriend or Beauty & The Beat by Justin Bieber might sound mainstream because we listen to it a thousand times, on the radio, it blasts as background music in so many stores at the mall. But when you listen to, for example Yellow Raincoat by Justin Bieber, it's not mainstream. Do you get what I mean? For me personally, mainstream music is the song I've heard a thousand times to the point I get tired and sick of hearing the same thing.

  25. DAY 14: Your Earliest Memory :)

    Monday, August 5, 2013

    First of all, before I start writing the post, I would like to apologize for being MIA for several days :( I was just not in the mood to blog, have been feeling rubbish lately and spent my days with friends and family. I had the best days with my beloved ones and I'm feeling a lot better now :)

    I have 2 of earliest memories. One is when I went to my grandpa's house for some family gathering and my cousins were just as little as me. We used to be close back then but now I don't really know them because my cousins who are around the same age as me are all boys and I'm the only girl. We used to play together but I played with Ramadhan the most often :) 


    The 2nd memory is when my grandpa came to celebrate my birthday, I don't know which birthday though. He used to come and gave me lots of presents because I was his first grandchild and he loved me so dearly. Now that he died about 3yrs ago, things have changed and I miss him so much :(

    XOXO,

  26. I don't think I would move and live in another country :| But I would love to visit lots and lots of places! :):):)

    But I would like to stay in another country, for probably several months? see and experience what it's like to live in other kind of environments with different cultures, foods, and with 4 types of seasons :") haa that would be really lovely. I would loveeeee to live in the UK, hopefully in Brighton where the UK youtube crew lives (sneaky!). Or maybe live in LA or San Fransisco. I don't know, things might not look the same as the things we used to see in videos, pictures and stuffs, but I'm up for some adventures! :) Ovan and I always dream about living in other country. Having different style of date should be very interesting. You know, like strolling around the parks, go to the zoo and of course the amusement park. It would be awesome to live with him in another country hehe. 

    If we're talking about places I'd love to visit, well, there are tons of em! I would love to go to every Disneyland / worlds in the world. Go to LA & New York, go to six flags. Go to Italy and VISIT GREECE!!! Go to Paris and experience Paris Fashion Week.

  28. I am BEYOND excited to do this post! :) so here we go, the 10 random songs from my iPod on shuffle mode and I think I'll insert my favorite part of lyrics of the songs and also the youtube link down below so you could listen to the songs :)

    1. I'm Only Me When I'm With You - Taylor Swift
        Tryin' to figure out what is and isn't true.
       And I don't try to hide my tears.
       The secrets or my deepest fears.
       Through it all nobody gets me like you do.
       And you know everything about me.
        I don't wanna be someone who walks away so easily
       I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make
       Our differences they do a lot to teach us how to use
       The tools and gifts we got, yeah, we got a lot at stake 

        I'm up all night to get some
       She's up all night for good fun
       I'm up all night to get lucky

        Unstoppable
       She's confident
       Got a laser eye
       Swinging to her own beat
       an A+ smile
       She's a winner

        If I close my eyes
       I can see your smile
       I can hear the laugh I love and I can't get enough

        Is this the place we used to love?
       Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

        Both of us broken
       Caught in a moment
       We lived and we loved
       And we hurt and we jumped

        My heart is heavy
       Takes me to a place I can’t breathe
      
        She ain't gonna be able to love you like I will,
       She is a stranger,
       You and I have history,
       Or don't you remember?

          Please don't be in love with someone else
         Please don't have somebody waiting on you

    XOXO,
    nna :)

  29. Old Photos HAHA (October 2010)
    Well, my first love is my boyfriend, since he's my first (ever) serious relationship. I had an ex from awkward middle school phase though, it was, no joke, one of the thing I regret the most in my life -_-" oh well. How do I know that he's my first love? Since when? well, it didn't just happen. Like even in the first month, it didn't feel serious at all. But then things started to feel, hmm I don't know, a bit deeper I guess? I feel like the relationship that I'm having with him is something that's worth fighting for. Like I would do anything to try to understand him, his conditions, his circumstances, his strength and weakness and try to accept it, not because I want something in return, but because I realize that I truly care about him. It's like I might be happy living all by myself, but it wouldn't feel complete without him. I've never felt that way before because I'm a pretty ignorant lady. Although I still make mistakes (until this day) and sometimes said the wrong words, I do love him. I know that it's not just a crush. It feels like, kalo in bahasa, MENGASIHI not MENCINTAI. I don't know if it's just me, but I can feel the difference.

    Sometimes people say that if we love someone, we should let them be themself and accept them for who they are, even when they have bad habits & characters, which is TRUE. But I learn from him that we do should accept our partner as who they are, but we also should make them be the best they can be, including trying to bring out the good character and get rid of the bad ones. It might not be an instant process but it's worth the try. It's not about not accepting the other's bad side, but it's about trying to make them a better person. Because that's what he do to me, I used to be such a careless girl and I was very clumsy and can't even take care of myself. I always feel insecure and ugly and I didn't believe in myself. But know, I can handle things on my own, I could pay attention to my surroundings and protect myself from harm, and I know that I'm loved :) 

    My first kiss was also with him, which was kinda happen unplanned. Like seriously I didn't mean to do it (yes, I was the one who kissed him, but it was an accident!!! *self defense*). I was going to kiss his cheek when we were watching a film, it was dark, okay? I couldn't really see him. I kissed him and then he said 'Did you really just kissed my lips or what?' with a confused face (but I can see the fishy smile dude, pfft so obvious). I was really embarrased and I can't even see his face. END OF STORY. And NO I am not the kind of girl who has the guts to do first moves. NO NO NO. Pls don't judge, nonetheless, I have no regrets. It's pretty funny looking back at that moment now :)

    XOXO,

  30. I don't want to daydream a lot or hope for the things that don't even make sense, but everyone can dream and have their own target in life right? :) Well here are my hopes and maybe resolutions and the things I would do in the future.


    1. Hopefully I'll be married when I'm between 25-27 yrs old with the man I really love who's on fire with his beliefs and faith in God. Like seriously there's nothing more irresistable than a man who has strong spirit. 
    2. Have 2 kids, the older one is a boy and the younger one is a girl! Hehe :) I would name them Leon and Nicole
    3. Have a business. I would like to have a business in fashion / book / cosmetic retail and in food & beverages :) punya business yang bervisi dan misi untuk memberikan kontribusi buat perekonomian negara, menggerakan sesuatu yang berlandaskan passion.
    4. Punya rumah singgah!!! Harus banget punya rumah singgah dan bikin kegerakan anak muda / anak-anak sendiri!
    5. Have Godly relationship with my husband and kids, have a God's love centered family
    6. Travel all around the world with my future husband in the first year of our marriage :)
    I might not know what will happen in the future. But I am not worried :) I know it's going to be great and wonderful and awesome.

  31. Hello, I believe I'm a day behind with this 30 blogposts challenge because I don't feel like blogging yesterday, I'm sorry about that. But I'll make it up to you guys and am catching up today :)

    Well, english has always been one of the subjects I truly care about and deeply love, therefore english is my ultimate forte when it comes to subjects in school. Having high grades was not really my intentions though, I'm very interested in speaking english on daily basis, it becomes my habit and I can say that I'm better than some of the kids because I could speak fluently and I have pretty wide vocabularies. But I have to admit I'm not the 'grammar lady', I still make (lots of) mistakes. Thanks to lots of years spending time on watching tvs and films in english and reading books. 

    On our last year of highschool, we went through national final exam (UN) and school's final exam (US) which had english subject in it. I was one of the two students with top score on school's english final exam (only US but not with UN). Like seriously it was the most satisfying moment in my life. Not because I could do the test myself, but because God knows I really put my heart and passion when it comes to english subject and He helped me throughout my entire final exam, especially english. Eventhough I'm not the highest in my overall final exams grades, I'm very happy with my english grades. It's like I may not be the best in every subjects, not that kind of 'smart' smart, but I know english is my forte, it's my strength and people can see that it's in my blood. For once, I'm not a mediocre but I'm at the top. And I'm very grateful to have such an awesome God who would help me to reach the top and be the best. 

    When my dad congratulated me, I saw the proud smile on his face. It was undescribable :") and hearing what I said to him, which is 'to God be the glory pa :)' drew an even bigger smile. I know that depending on God rather than being smart is more important to our family and our value. I couldn't feel more proud, grateful, and satisfied with the path I've chosen.

  32. How To Love Yourself! :)

    Tuesday, July 23, 2013

    Stop all criticism. Criticsm never changes a thing. Accept yourself as you are. Everybody changes, and when you criticize yourself, your changes are negative. When you approve of yourself, your changes are positive.

    Don't scare yourself. Stop terrorizing yourself with your thoughts. Find a mental image that gives you pleasure and immediately switch your scary thought to a pleasure thought.

    Be gentle, kind and patient. Be gentle with yourself. Be kind to yourself. Be patient with yourself as you learn the new ways of thinking.

    Praise yourself. Criticism breaks down the inner spirit. Praise builds it up. Tell yourself how well you're doing with every little thing. 

    Support yourself. Find ways to support yourself. Reach out to friends and allow them to help you. It shows strength to ask for help.

    Be loving to you negatives. Acknowledge that you created them to fulfill a need. As you find new, positive ways to fulfill those needs, you can release the old negative patterns.

    Take care of your body. Learn about nutrition. What kind of fuel does your body need to have optimum energy and vitality? Learn about exercise. What kind of exercise can you enjoy? Cherish and revere the person you are.

    Mirror work. Look into your eyes often. Express this growing sense of love you have for yourself. Forgive yourself while looking into the mirror. Talk to your parents looking into the mirror. Forgive them too. At least once a day say "I love you"

    Do it now. Don't wait until you get well, or lose the weight, or get the new job, or the new relationship. Begin now - do the best you can.

    GOODLUCK ;)
    XOXO,

  33. I don't really fancy horoscope thingy and don't really pay attention nor believe in them. So what I wrote here is basically copied from several websites and we'll see if it fits my personality. The one that's in bold is my personalities.

    Aquarius' Traits:
    • Good communication skills
    • Sociable
    • Idealist
    • Tactless
    • Desires change
    Aquarius' Likes:
    • Fame
    • Themselves
    • Privacy
    • Dreams
    • Magic
    • Change
    • Eccentricity
    • Surprises
    • Living within their means
    Aquarius' Dislikes:
    • Emotions
    • Intimacy
    • Show offs
    • Taken for granted
    • Being 'pinned down'
    • Violence
    • Senseless extravagance
    The humanitarians of the zodiac, the Aquarius are inventive and modern indiviuals. Honest truth-seekers, they are broad-minded and creative people. The new, novel and modern have a magnetic allure in the amiable Aquarius' world. Friendly, gregarious, candid, the Aquarius are popular people in their circles. No wonder they have innumerable friends! However, the truth is that the Aquarius may have many acquaintances, they may not be really close to anyone in particular. In fact, they may be quite detached and changeable.

    Hmm well, I don't really get these things and they don't interest me, but some of them are true to facts I guess. What I know for sure is I do dislike emotions (getting controlled by my own emotions) but I do like intimacy :):)

  35. I never thought about ending my life ._. I wanna live, I don't want to dissappear and just do nothing. Suicide is ridiculous, it's not a good way to die, it's a sin, you will not go to heaven by ending your own life. so NO! HELL NO! I would neverrr!!!!

    Even if bad things are happening, even when I'm going through hard and tough times, I will not end my own life. My life is not even mine, it's HIS. I don't have the right to end what's not mine. That's why being grateful is such an important thing in life. That way, you'll live more positively, when you're feeling sad, lonely, desperate, you'll know that God is always watching over you. What's the point of ending life anyway? It's stupid and it disrespects God's plan for your life. So if you ever have the thoughts about ending your life, pls think about it and rather than being sad and pathetic, take some time and pray. Things will be better and if you end your life, you will not be able to see it :) HAVE FAITH!

  36. DAY 4: Your Views on Religion

    Saturday, July 20, 2013

    Hi guys, I nearly forgot about this whole 30 blogposts challenge thing, I was about to go to sleep when I realized I haven't written today's post ._. I'm feeling pretty sleepy right but I don't want to miss a single post, I'll try my best but maybe I'll use bahasa here and then hehe :)

    Well from my point of view, religion doesn't have the same meaning as BELIEFS. Religion terkesan agak-agak agamawi, kalo di Kristen tuh namanya taurat banget. Religion ibarat cuma status di KTP, lo punya agama but who could ever guarantee that you're living the life your God wants you to live. Not just living with the Dos and Don'ts, but living with a purpose and calling. 

    I may not be the most perfect person ever according to HIM, but who is? Satu hal yang gw percaya, gw diciptain dengan tujuan, dengan purpose dan calling, dipanggil untuk beritakan keselamatan ke seluruh bangsa, no matter how hard it will be, no matter what kind of risks it'll give me. As far as I now, it's one of the hardest thing karena kalo lo melakukannya ga pake hati, without PASSION, tanpa hati yang berapi-api menjerit buat lawatan, ga ada gunanya, ga ada artinya. It'll bring people to Him tapi kita malah bisa luput dari perkenanan dan ga dianggap lagi :( that's why it's not the easiest thing to do karena ga cuma bisa dibuktiin dari action but yet the simplest thing karena cuma butuh kemauan dari hati lo dan penyerahan penuh sama Tuhan.

    The second thing I believe that my whole life is a gift and a grace from Him. Semua pencapaian yang udah gw lakuin, everything I've received and gift to others, it's not mine, it's Him. I don't own anything in the world. Without Him life would be meaningless, we might feel happy but it's just temporary. 

    Third thing is bukan cuma sama manusia yang punya relationship, tapi sama Tuhan juga :) one of the greatest feelings in my life adalah bisa ngerasain yang namanya dipeluk sama Tuhan. I really love HUGS, so to feel His warmth is just wonderful and undescribably beautiful. Sama Tuhan itu bisa ngerasain kasih sayang dari Bapak, sebagai mempelai dan kekasih hidup, sebagai guru, sebagai sahabat dan itu yang bikin punya relationship sama Tuhan rasanya special banget. He's the One I could trust the most, He's the One would be there for me through the good and the bad, He's the One who loves me when I'm feeling worthless, insecure and anxious. 

    HUA pokoknya sayang banget sama Tuhan Yesus :) He's the love of my life, I wouldn't trade Him for treasures or gold or riches untold. I may not look like the most religious person ever on social media, but I do love my dear Jesus and loving Him is the greatest thing in my life :)

    My favorite verses at the moment:

    But because God was so gracious, so very generous, here I am. And I’m not about to let his grace go to waste. Haven’t I worked hard trying to do more than any of the others? Even then, my work didn’t amount to all that much. It was God giving me the work to do, God giving me the energy to do it. So whether you heard it from me or from those others, it’s all the same: We spoke God’s truth and you entrusted your lives. - 1 Corinthians 15:10

  37. DAY 3: Your Views on Alcohol & Drugs

    Friday, July 19, 2013

    Drugs stopped me being a son, a
    brother, a bestfriend and the love
    of someone else. Drugs stopped me
    being alive.
    Well, I don't even want to talk about drugs. All I know is it's a very bad bad thing, it'll give you nothing but bad effects & concequences, it's pretty expensive (some of 'em), it'll waste your money, it's not good for your health. Like c'mon, if you're so stressful or got into a state of deep depression, there's a lot of things that you can do other than drugs okay? Using drugs won't make you look cool, it's even the OPPOSITE of cool. I don't like 'em, don't even want to try 'em, it ain't worth it. It's against the law, it's not allowed to be consumed no matter what your belief is. Some of them might say 'well, you're going to die anyway' but I still disagree with the idea of using drugs. I don't think death because of using drugs is something you would be proud of. 





    Now, about alcohol, I'm not ashamed and won't try to hide the facts that I've had some kind of alcohol beverages or whatsoever. Not going to lie, some of it does taste good, like beers, vodka, and wine is my favorite alcohol among all. I'm not the type of person who would drink to try to get rid of the bad stuffs in their life or to use it as an escapism, I've never been drunk. I only drink in special occasion, I don't even drink the whole bottle of it when I'm hanging out with friends who would drink beer and alcoholic stuffs as a part their lifestyle, but I do take one sip or two. It does taste good actually, but I can't drink the entire bottle / glass. And as far as I know, wine is actually good for your health and using some type of alcohol would make food taste more delicious especially when it comes to baking & roasting. Consuming too many alcohol won't do you anygood, you'll get addicted and it would be hard to stop the bad habit. But I think it's okay to drink alcohol occasionally, I guess.

  38. In 10 years, obviously I would still live in Indonesia. In which city, I don't really know and I don't have any plan either. I don't have a problem with living in Jakarta, except for the traffic issues. Well, hopefully, the traffic will get better and some public transportation could be used optimally in this city one day.

    It would be lovely if I could travel the world, but I would never leave Indonesia. I don't know why, I do love it here. Living in a different country wouldn't feel the same. And maybe the only reason to stay in Indonesia is I CANNOT LEAVE BAHTERA community, like ever!!! :) I'm sorry if this post is a bit short, but I run out of words to explain.

  39. DAY 1: Your Current Relationship :)

    Wednesday, July 17, 2013

    HELLO! 

    Well, 3yrs ago I met this guy and eventually fell in love with him, he's my fellow classmate in sophomore year of highschool. So this is my first (ever) serious relationship with a guy. Well, it feels awesome to have someone who would be there for you and I'm so grateful for it, but it also takes a lot of work and time to understand the other person, to fully accept and know his behaviour and habits and the way he thinks. A relationship don't just happen and I think it requires some effort :) and I'm glad I found someone who wouldn't easily give up on me.

    High School Graduation Day :)

    Sometimes people mistakenly see us as siblings, which is quite funny. I feel content when I'm with him, like I'm able to be myself. I could sing and shout any song, talk in english and sometimes with british accent, eat lots lots of food, which is always a plus. We've been through ups and downs too, but it made us who we are now, it builds the character and make us understand more about each other. There were times when we used to argue a lot over things that weren't so important back then. Now, we could laugh at how childish we used to be. It might not be easy but it's not that hard either, if that makes sense.

    Being in a different university environment is also a challenge. Having different kind of friends, jokes, and different schedule and routines. Not being able to see each other as often as it used to be led to some argument. But we have overcome those issues and things are a lot better now.


    Eventhough he's such a BLOODY ANNOYING person who would tease me and call me ugly everyday (not in a serious way, obviously), I could never imagine life without him. He's the one who supports me, encourages me, protects me, brings out the best in me, and takes care of me. I think I'm a pretty difficult person to handle, especially when I'm feeling insecure, sensitive, and emotional, and I believe he puts a lot of effort to our relationship. He's pretty damn cheeky and I do love him :)

    The summary of this post is: HE'S A KEEPER! :)

    and here's a GIF to end the post
    XOXO,
    nna

    PS: Come home soon will yaaa, SCVN?!?!?!?!
