Have you ever heard about Moschino bear perfume? So it was weeks behind, at a department store in Jakarta, there was a photobooth in order to promote this thing. I was hanging out with my bff, a real-live-polar-bear named Teddy and Vines with her youngest sister who is so cute. Actually, this post is so different with the topic that usually I share, but I won't skip sharing this one to my beloved readers worldwide! The reason because I miss them to the bones and because Teddy expression in the first photo below is so va va voom, he like a pro!! Omg, couldn't stop laughing..
Look at these sisters beside of me, they look like a replica each other, who one is in adult age and another is still in children.
In the end of year 2015, after Christmas, in holiday season, I'm celebrating my birthday which means I'm legally turning 21. Cheers! I think it a kind of new start to live an adult life, even deep inside my self I deny it. Childhood was a very incredible time, so many memories and habits that hard to forget. Especially last several years. It was the time of self changing. The time for becoming mature enough in ways of thinking, ways of solving problem, and ways of learning.
It was also the time for moving on, saying good bye and forgiving. Then now I'm officially announce that I've left Surabaya for good and now preparing for chasing my dream. It was so hard, really, to say good bye from the city that had became my home and also the place where I struggled, and from my friends who already turned into family. We shared so many moments together from happiness to sadness, and helped each other when needed. I talked to several closest friends about my moving for good, and they wished me for better life. The one that I keep noticing in mind is words from a friend that have been good to me during my study, the one who taught me much a means of life, the one that showed me how to forgive and love people who hurted me, and the one who understand about dreaming. That person, who have a pure heart to people, told me to chase my dreams and wished luck always be with me. From that, I'm thinking again about recalling my dreams that had been vanished. Starting again of hoping. And believing the hidden plan of God that is called miracle.
Last year is about year of forgiving and accepting to me. I feel mature enough about solving problem by forgiving. A friend told me to treat people by seeing them as God's great creatures, not from their acts. And I also learned about accepting because God knows the best plan for us. My friend told me the story of David in a spiritual session.
It's 2016 now, and I'm wishing my self to become better person who can influence people around, be good to people and be the person as I see in my dream.
So this year, I got surprise from my girl squad in our hometown, Lombok. They brought a very cute greentea cheesecake, that is my favorite, which is decorated by fresh flower when we had lunch at The Vinnette House of Bovin & Lynnette. Couldn't more happier to have bestfriends like them!
Green tea cheesecake from Sugar Sweet by Chef Julian Vica.
Favorite from this resto is their Escargot!
Another surprise was coming from Vinnette's team, they gave me a plate of dessert; vanilla ice cream, choco mouse and choco lava cake. Nomnomnommm!!!
After a short holiday in my hometown, so I am back for another struggle here in the city of heroes-Surabaya. Well, still in holiday mood and really glad to meet my favorite friends here. During my four years study, I met so many boys and girls are minority there. So it is not a kind of something to hang out with boys without any girls.
Few days behind, perhaps some of you already know from my instagramthat I went to this newly opened bar which located at Society Complex in Jalan Sumatera Surabaya. This place is still attract people attention recently. And they have a fine dining restaurant named 1903 and coffee shop named Historica, read my review here.
Well actually, that night I was coming just for having a good time with friends, not to review this place. But these photos are too cute to be skipped for. So apologize for the less photos about the place and the food. The lighting in their outdoor is really low, so it was hard to take great photos since the indoor was already full.
The pizza and snacks such as fries, tortilla, and burrito taste was quite good.
This mirror-mirror space is so fascinating, and the lighting also good enough for taking good pictures.
Blue is my favorite color, and black is a must. So I kept styling my self with that colors.
Left to right : Rino, Channing-whose real name is Hakara but he so similar with the famous Channing Tatum then I called him so,my self, and Abah whose face and body similar with the famous Indonesian's singer Tulus.
And last weekend, still as you seen on my instagram, that I explore East Java! Not all interesting spot, but some of them. Will write about that journey soon.
On December 29th, I was officially turning 20! Really can't believe that time flies this fast. As I remember, friends surprised me in the night day changing. The fireworks, the laugh, and the idea of kidnapping concept. For this year, they surprised me with the horror concept. I was in my friend's home, and suddenly the electricity was off. Then it just happened like in horror movie. At the end, they just came out with a round birthday cake with candles on it. Totally creative! Thank you for sharing your love dear!!!
Well, actually I got this sweet cactus candle then I visit Starbucks to look for their Espresso Brownies, one of my favorites, and ordered frappe too. Because the day after I had an exam, I decided to visit my friend's home with several others to study there. And picked up several cakes from Starbucks for them in order to celebrate my 20th birthday. At first I want to order a birthday cake from my favorites cake shop, but unfortunately they had closed order before I placed mine. So that's the reason why I changed it into Starbucks cakes. And when I reached my friend's home, we talked and my friends named Abah, Chaning and Vines was laughing because I brought cakes and candles for celebrating my own birthday. And it was the moment before the horror surprise began.
Birthday gift from my lovely incredible stunning friends; Vinesia, Alif, Channing and Teddy.
A cute lightweight sweater with a #FANCY print on it. Thank you!
A best friend of mine, Teddy, told me about an incredible quote:
There is a universal truth we all have to face, whether we want to or not.
But just because we're leaving, and that hurts,
there's some people who are so much a part of us,
they'll be with us no matter what.
They are our solid ground. Our North Star.
And the small clear voices in our hearts that will be with us... Always...
Oh well well well, I can't deny that I'm a person who totally can fall for many times with the very brightly coffee shop. I love the way sun shining through the window and touch my cup of coffee on the table- even for this recent time I order green tea latte oftentimes. I really keep off my self from the darkness, and always looking for the light. Well, perhaps I avoid it because I scare of ghost, but actually I also hate it.
I have been curious with this coffee shop since people talking and post photos relate to this place. And then I asked my trip partners to have our brunch there, and they just simply agreed! Named Livingstone Cafe & Bakery, located in Seminyak Bali. The place was quite large, and we met so many international tourist. So the point is, I'm totally in love like to the moon and back with the interior and everything! It was just became my other favorites.
The famous wall of this coffee shop, with four letter famous word on it.
And I love when the light come inside through the window and touch me.
My favorite girl, Vinessia was so pretty under the light. I was so in love with her wavy hair!
This cute boy, Channing, was concentrated play an online game.
The caramel latte.
Perhaps this is too unified, but the decision was coming from our own self, we chose egg benedict for feeding us.
A cup of earl grey tea.

Another famous wall at this coffee shop, so why don't we just take a pose for a while?
Anyway for your information, about price range there it was about IDR 75k above before the tax and service charge. And we spent around IDR 600k for five of us.
So I almost forgot to tell about our fantastic day at Waterboom Bali. We totally had so much fun there! Well, actually me and Vines at first will explore Bali with one other, but she reschedule and reschedule again until she refused her self from this trip due to her business. We both was hopeless, that the trip which we've already planned for months might be just a day dream. But then, those three cute boys brought a light, and finally became our trip partners.
The photos are less, because we put our camera and phone on the lockers, and forgot to take photos which taken by the waterboom staff. Here several photos which taken by Alif after he took short break. But unfortunately, we don't have the photos with him in pool.
Teddy and Channing show their very INCREDIBLE SMILEEEE!!!!!!!
We had so much fun at the lazy river!
Well, we went around the whole area of Waterboom, played almost their water rides. But this one, named Boomerang, was should be noticed! It simply but the sensation was so spectacular.
The entrance ticket for adult was IDR 250.000,00/each.
More information about this waterpark area, just visit their website : Waterboom Bali
After had our brunch, we went to Tanjung Benoa to have some watersport there. We road from Seminyak- where our hotel is located- to the south east of Bali island. We went across the highway over the sea, and it was so spectacular! Tanjung Benoa is one of Bali's white sandy beaches where you can find a lot watersport and luxury resorts there.
Tanjung Benoa beach. Well actually it was so crowded, boats everywhere.
When we across the highway over sea.
Calvin Klein x Rayban aviator sunnies!
The highway over seas! Yey!
While had a short conversation with the watersport staff about their offers.
And here it is, four of us rocked the Bali sky that day by taking the flying fish!
Channing and Vines played first, so I need to wait on the boat.
See that, we were flying!
Then we took the doughnut boat for five of us. And it was so extremely spectacular!!! The boat was sliding 360 degree for several circles, and we had to hold tight the rope on the boat, so we couldn't thrown over boat.
This girl is always my favorite, I can't deny that I'm falling in love for continuously of her smile and gaze. She's just incredible awesome!
Playing the sand!
Let us take #SELFIE!!!!
