HIGHLIGHT OF THE YEAR.

Oh, hi mates! I'm really miss blogging so much tbh but these past months I just don't feel like writing much aside on my full time job as content writer. I'm sorry.

Soooo, this month has been magical. I never thought my birthday this year would be much much better than before #blessed

The excitement is elevating in every level tho, and now it's time to tell you why. 

See, since I live alone in Jakarta, most of my weekends are filled with working on my family business' Instagram account or hanging with friends. So earlier this month I realized how much I miss "me time", therefore on Saturday morning I woke up real quick, took a shower, wear a most comfy outfit with tote bag, and start roving around South Jakarta using public transportations.

It was hella fun! You should try it, you know. Just you, your playlist, and go wherever you want.

Next, I celebrated birthday while sleepover at Verine's (left). These two cupcakes and Finley, who wasn't in frame, are my friends since I was junior high back then in Medan. We separated during college and three of us reunited again in Jakarta.

Funny how we separate for four years but the 10+ years friendship still going strong. Love them to the core!

Moving on. 

This month happen to has Eid Mubarak long holiday, therefore I sleepover in my cousin's. They invited me to Haidilao and my first experience there was marvelous. The food is 11/10 (not gonna lie, shooo good!) and my cousins surprised me with birthday dancing from the employees.

It was so embarrassing because people are looking at me, but on the other hand I was thrill because they got me. Yeah, they got me good because it was spotless and I didn't expect anything tho.

Note: If we become friend on Instagram, you prolly saw how shocked, happy, and laugh until shed tears I am through my Instagram story.

Lastly and the highlight surprise of the year is the spontaneous road trip.

Yes, I really love road trip especially go to somewhere I can see view like below. Gosh, the memories still flying all over my head and it was really fun tho.

This trip is totally unprepared. The idea of this trip came out from my head three days before I went to Bogor and I packed real quick without booking any hotel. All plans about where to go and sleep are still vague, but that's the most interesting points. The experience is indescribable and for sure I would like to have this kind of road trip again!

Here comes to the end, hopefully this post entertains you and I'm able to write more often on my blog like I used to. Oh yes, this year I plan to travel in several places in Indonesia, so see you on upcoming post about my travel journey!

APPRECIATION POST

Hey mates! it's been awhile uh? hahah

pardon me.

Not because I don't wanna write, but I couldn't find any topic to talk about because I don't want to talk about Covid19, of course. Isn't because I don't care or something. I know all of you know about it and know what you should do so why on earth I still talking about it because I know the more you read, the more you'll feel anxiety. So without further ado, let's start!

first thing first, it's totally insane realizing that now I'm freaking 23!

Instead of thinking about I'm getting older and stuffs, I would like to count my blessing. Different from years before, this year people celebrate my birthday and if I can say this year is the first year I got surprised on my birthday and somehow I love it. Early in the morning my cousins surprised me with breads and sang out loud when I was about to enter pantry and looking for my Oreos because I'm starving to death hahah. Next, someone that I just knew virtually sent me a super delicious dark chocolate cake. Last but not least, warm wishes from my bosses and friends❤️

Years before I never enjoy my birthday, in fact I don't like it tho because I never feel like what majority people do where that day be their highlight of the year and whatsoever. Therefore, I recorded what I feel in my previous birthday why I don't enjoy it in my personal podcast that you can hear it in Apple Podcast name Isi Benakku

In last phrase I said, somehow I know there is a time where my birthday wasn't that bad anymore. And turns out this year is totally different although I'm still far apart from mum and dad):

Although it's too early to sum up this year in my life, but I would like to count on my blessing so I can keep in mind that I'm beyond blessed.

1. Finally I move out from my hometown

2. Finally one of my dream jobs is accomplished

3. After years proving to mum what I'm capable of, on this year she finally said that she proud of me

4. I don't dropping tears on my birthday anymore

My list ain't stop until number four, there is long way to go! 

This year I'm planning to go for a trip around Indonesia, hopefully I can make it *fingers crossed*

Before I end this post, I would like to attach photos as my appreciation to people who make my day brighter on my birthday

Thank You God.

so many things happened in this nineteen years, go through up and down, fall in love and broken heart happened as well. this year i got special present from my dear friend name Cheryll. she is more like small sister rather than friend to me because we have become friend for ten years and she is now only fifteen while me twenty. so yeah. anyway, she gave me tripod WOOHOO!! i got nothing from my boyfriend because he has financial problem right now which is fine for me tho at least he gave an effort drove long way from his mum's house to meet me. these several weeks have been a worst weeks for both of us, trust issues and overthinking happened and the most sucks from this year birthday is that i cried at my birthday date. no.. it is not tears of joy but in other way round it is tears of hurt. him and i cried a lot ( i kinda shocked when i saw him cried, to be honest ) but the most important thing is that hopefully we can conquer every problems and i do hope he can change become a better man #hope. okay, say bye to sad memories now back to happy moment in my birthday. yesterday i had a girls night out with my besties, we went to one cafe in town where we also can play many boardgames while enjoying our meals. although when we arrived there the clock already 9 PM but still, so packed and finally i arrived home almost midnight tho. so here are some photos from past several weeks until yesterday that i never post on my blog.
