Daily Skin Care

As an active women (hehehe, magazine style bgt :p), taking care her skins is a must, especially on our face. What products that suits you best an? After trial and error on these years, finally i settle up my basic daily skin care with these products. And i am in such the mood that would love to share you what inside my 'secret'.

1. Vitamin E Gentle Facial Wash ( Bodyshop )



After tired with Biore Facial Wash for years (esp. on high school years), i tried with this product and suddenly in love the effects that occurs after i used it. It makes you feel clean & smooth in the same time, and also feel soft (that i couldn't get from Biore Facial Wash, it's too strong). Been using this product for 5 years by now and never disappointed.

2. Bodyshop vitamin e moisture cream



Before, i never think that i gonna using any facial moisture, until my face skin is pecah-pecah because the winter and i have so many pimples on my face even though i already wash it everyday. And also another reason is, i feel that my face will be more oily if i used moisture products. And i also been trying few products, before i secretly used my roommate products and turn out that this products went well with my skin. I also tried to another moisture products of Bodyshop, but always back to this vitamin E. Beside, to its smooth, it also quickly absorbded to my skin, so i can apply the face powder immediately. Luv it!

3. Dermozone 2 in 1 cleanser with ozonated olive oil.



This product is my new finding. Even though it stated that originated from UK, i have doubt that this products is even famous in their original continent, europe :.

First, i used this when i got an sample from my office. It turns good for me. Before, i was simply thing that i dont have to have expensive for just cleanser, and i feel right when i used VIVA cleanser (which only cost me 5000) :D, but i just feel right not good or 'wow' feels that i need, and i also used to think that i enough with that bodyshop vitamin e facial wash. But now i do make up, and i think facial wash isn't enough anymore.

Because this product is quite difficult to find (only in several stores), when my sample was over, i decided to change to other product (until i can get any sample again, lol) which is Ponds Cleanser (this time costs me about IDR 12.000) and turned that PONDS product is too much alcohol, that didnt feel good on my face. Thus, when i have chance to back to Dermozone store on Sumenep, i bought this product (about IDR 87.000,-) and i feel happy of it :D. I also try their face mask, and also love that :D ( i got free samples for their face mask and face scrub, big hooray!)

4.SKIN FOOD Fresh Lime Body Cream



This is my bday gift from Lia, my ex-officemate. I love the smeel and feel relax when i apply it upon my body. Overall, this product is good, even though i dont feel to buy it by myself ( I am not big fan of body lotion/cream, besides, i already have dermozone body butter as a replace)

As i already settled up with my skin care products, i haven't settled up yet with my make-up products. I still under trying so many products (espesially the ones that i get free from my office), but still not find my 'soulmate' yet espesially on lipstic things.

What currently i use are :
1. Ultima II face powder (usually, i uses this after i apply moisture)
2. Revlon face powder ( handy on my pocket, for re-touch up )
3. Bodyshop Lip Shine
4. Caring Colours Blush On ( i love the colour when it apply on my cheek)
5. Revlon Mascara ( not that good, but feels okay)
6. Maybelline Eye Shadow (love the color, make me looks so fresh in one brush)
7. Revlon Eye Shadow
8. Bodyshop Eye Shadow(initially, it have two colors but it broken into pieces -.-)

....... and me feels so girly by writting this post..... :D

Push My Luck!... :) help me then... :D

Tinggal Bersama

Dari masuk kuliah, aku sudah tinggal berpisah dari orang tua (ngekos, istilahnya). 6 bulan pertama di Diemen, tinggal bareng sama dika, 1,5 tahun kemudia tinggal di arentkrijstraat bersama 5 orang lainnya, dan setengah tahun sekamar dengan mbak Citra, setahun kemudian sekamar sama mbak Indri. 6 bulan di Indonesia, tinggal sama kakak, balik lagi ke Belanda, tepatnya di Utrecht, tinggal sama kak Fedi & fam. Sisanya di Belanda aku tinggal di Uilenstede...

Balik ke Indo, begitu dapat kerja di Femina, aku tinggal di kos-kosan di Mampang.

* well, post ini sebenernya bukan untuk ngasih tau betapa seringnya aku pindahan sih -,- *

But anyway, setelah tinggal sendiri lebih dari 5 tahun, buat aku sadar tentang enak-nggaknya tinggal bersama dengan orang lain (yg bukan keluarga). Yang dulu di awal2 tahun, aku sama sekali ga mau tinggal sendiri tanpa orang yang aku kenal (kalau tinggal pengennya sama temen sendiri, ato di rumah kayak Arent yang banyak orang) sampai di tahun ke 4, aku memutuskan untuk di kamar sendiri, yang disekelilingnya adalah mahasiswa2 lain.... and i like it.

Makin dewasa, keinginan untuk punya kamar sendiri sangatlah besar, dan tahu kalau masih ada orang di luar kamar buat aku tenang.

Yang kadang menyebalkan, malah rumitnya tinggal bersama itu. Hal yang simpel aja deh... kayak bersihin dapur dan cuci piring, bisa jadi isu sensitif yang bisa menyulut pertengkaran. Dulu, aku sering jadi pelakunya (males cuci piring ^^) , begitu sudah makan asam garam seperti sekarang, aku bisa sebel banget liat cuciaan piring yang menumpuk di kosan....

Aku tau sih, mereka males, tapi kan annoying banget, apalagi barang2ku yang dipakai oleh mereka. Terus, di kosan juga ada anak ABG yang temen2nya selalu datang (dan berisik!) sampai jam 12 malem.

Masalah lain yang sering bikin berantem adalah pinjem2an peralatan (baju, piring, duit... dll) dari tetangga... Yang ada,sering seseorang yang pinjem barang orang lain tanpa izin, ato kemudiaan menjadi hak pilik pribadi... (btw, kalo ini aku juga pernah minjem cardigan dari Laura dan jadi hak milik sampai sekarang, sampe disindir2 sama dia.... :D :D )

Kalau dulu pas masih tinggal di Arent, masalah ambil2an makanan juga bisa jadi masalah tuh.. Bisa aja, tiba2 telur atau rotiku ilang... Atau kalau lagi malas masak dan liat mbak Indri masak, jadi sering 'minta' sama mbak Indri, padahal belum tentu mbak Indri rela kan ya.... :D
(kalo pas di Uilen seh sering di mintaiin sama mas Chauft :D heheheheh tapi aku ikhlas kok :D )

Intinya tinggal bersama sih, saling tenggang rasa aja sama penghuni yang lain dan juga jaga perasaan masing.....

After went to Teater Koma Republik Petruk

Kemarin baru saja bersama Deni pergi nonton Teater Koma di TIM, judulnya Republik Petruk. Pertunjukannya sendiri terdiri dari 2 babak, masing2 2 jam. Terlalu panjang sih buat aku :D, mulai dari jam 19.30 baru keluar jam 23.30. But it was good, touh.

Jalan ceritanya lucu dan menarik, sepanjang pertunjukan ga bisa berhenti ket,tawa. My favorite, adalah di babak pertama, ketika Petruk sedang menceritakan masa lalunya, bagaimana jimat itu bisa berpindah ke tangannya.

Petruknya sendiri di babak pertama, menjadi narrator yang berpergian ke masa lalunya. Satu lagi yang aku suka, pemakaian kata2nya sangat lucu dan 'terkini'. Akting Cornelia Agatha sebagai mustakaweni juga menarik, walau sayang banget, sound system ketika dia nyanyi ' Aku Ingin Membunuh Arjuna' agak gak jelas di awal2nya.

Walau begitu, poin minusnya adalah terlalu panjang dan bertele2, yang dimana di beberapa scene bisa agak dipotong. Tapi juga perlu dipuji adalah, mereka bermain lakon yang sama dalam waktu 3 minggu berturut2 (dipotong hari senin) yang mana seharinya mereka bermain selama 4 jam ( belum waktu persiapannya) salut!

Lakon favorit aku adalah selain Petruk sendiri (Budi Ros), juga Limbuk (Tuti Hartati), aktingnya bagus dan juga dia cukup kuat bergerak kesana-kesini dengan kostum yang serba 'besar' itu.

Anyway, di akhir pementasan mereka menyanyi lagu yang menurut aku kata2nya bagus dan cocok untuk di sharing dengan teman2 yang belum sempat menonton TK :)

INDONESIA

Indonesia ada karena
Adanya kehendak bersama
Berbagai suku, ras, dan agama
Meningkatkan diri
Sebagai satu negara bangsa

Indonesia ada karena
penyatuaan HATI masyarakatnya
Berbagai-bagai, tapi satu jua
Bhinneka tunggal ika
Tujuan luhur pendiri bangsa

Mengingkari kenyataan itu
Ibarat ancaman bom waktu
Kebersamaan bisa hancur
Sejarah bangsa mengabur
Dan masa depan terkubur

Indonesia ada karena
Kebersamaan hati yang tulus
Melindungi bukan berarti memaksa
Niat tak tulus
Menghapus tujuaan yang Mulia

Aku cinta Indonesia
Selalu cinta Indonesia
Jangan buang masa depan Indonesia
Cintaku selamanya
Selama-lamanya
Selama-lamanya

resolution 2009

00.24, and still not sleep yet, eventhough tommorow (or should i say, today?) i have to work as usual after so called long holiday (well, i dont take any day off tough - only in real 'red' dates (tanggal merah-literally translated).

I even not bother to write post, texted, or anything to say," happy new year" because i just dont really wanna do it. something unusual for me.

and actually also not feel to write anything about 2009 resolution, but somehow, i just feel, i have to do it. well, to short out what's on my mind about 2009, and hopefully not just write it down here, but also really work on my resolutions.

Here we go:....

1. More wise on financial matters..

In 2009, i would like have more wise on behalf of financial matters.

More savings,become a wise shopper ( always think what i need this stuff, rather than i want this stuff), be more generous in the matter of 'amal' and think about investment (well, i think tabungan berjangka is something that i can do for this level of stage).
And also savings for holiday......!!!! (first priority : Bangkok!!!!!!!........mas berly and tanti... i did small research today, and the cheapest flight is if we go around May... it still costs 1,5 millions for round trip, thus, mas berly..... let's organize this..... hihihii :D)

2. More healthy...

I planned to be more healthy this year, and hopefully that also signed by loosing some weights :D. Eat more fruits and veggies and less carbs and no dinner would be a nice plan. However, the last one is more difficult than the first one, but just give it a shoot....

3. More hang outs with my new and old friends.

The ideal is able to keep my old friends (from highschool and college) back to in track, able to hang out with them again (well, some reunions with them will do well), and also able to be more social butterflly and able to make new friends. (hopefully that give a oppurtinity for me..... any oppurtinity.. hihihi)

4. Preparing for master school

Before, i planned i could attain my master school right after I graduated from my undergraduated. But everything changes, and i need to re-planned this again. No, i am not to plan have my master this year, but at least, this year, i am able to know, exactly when i can continue my school again. --- lot things to consider, tough.

5. Carreer matter

Hopefully, i am able to get the best (for me, indeed) related with carrer matters.

6. Preparing my future with him

Ok, i just got enough with those classic questions, " when you both get married?" and "what are you waiting for, you already got job, nice partner and why you two just get married,".

I'm enough with those questions. :(

Surely, I thank God to give me a kind and loving boyfriend for this 3,5 years, but honestly speaking, i am not ready to take a vow yet. *big sigh*

Not that i not love him nor not wanting it, but just because i am not ready yet. I am still a young lady of 23th ~~~
But then, this year, i am planning to prepare on it. To make myself ready to face on it. To plan everything so it goes well when the time arises... ~~~ i don't like to be hurry on this matter...

7. Better relationship with The Almighty

Pray more, and routinely. Why it became so hard..... :(

8. Write more

More productive in term of writting and able to get my write published. *no no lazy, that what initially in your mind when you beg for new laptop, tough ;)

ok... this is what i got so far and i think it already cope all things that i have in my mind. Although there is another thing that i'd like to do.... more fashionable..... *uh, i think my office has already influenced me on this...

night night folks.... *duh, i hate mondays...................... :(
