  3. 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,

  4. 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 :)

  5. 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.

  6. I'm going to do this post in a list? why? Because I feel like it, haha that's why :) oh and one more thing, I will list down the things that attracts me for a person in general, not just boys.


    • Honest and open minded
    • Caring, gentle, respect others feelings
    • Love children as much as I do :)
    • Have passion and enthusiast for what he does or even life itself
    • Hardworking
    • Can be sarcastic & understand my sarcasm
    • Have an awesome / unique taste of movie & music
    • Those who reads
    • Funny and have a sense of humor
    • Also have a human side (flaws, I mean)
    XOXO,

  7. 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? :)

  8. 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 :(:(:(



  9. 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.

  10. 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.

    XOXO,

  11. 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

  12. 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.

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

  13. 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 :)

  14. 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.

  15. 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 :)

  16. 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 :)

  17. 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.

  19. 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,
