Scrapbook Nightmare

I have been having trouble times trying to sleep at night these past 3 days.
Blame all those cute fabrics that is on sale in facebook.
Facebook has been so crowded with shops lately. I dont log in to see the status of photos of my friends anymore, but browsing through the shops instead.

Not only the fabrics that caught my eyes and hearts, but also things about scrapbook.
It was all started of the curiosity I have of why scrapbook can be so popular while it is also very expensive.
I also thought that it is only populer abroad, but foound out just now that there are also many Indonesian scrapbook-er <-- is that how you call em?

Here I will list the top 3 that I like:
1. Ria Nirwana (http://rnirwana.blogspot.com/)

2. Alice Wahyuni (http://alicewahyuni.blogspot.com/)


3. Suryanti halim (http://suryanti-halim.blogspot.com)
I think she is also the owner of Scrappetizer Scrapbooking in facebook. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Pretty right?
I can't even concentrate in office right now.
There is also a shop in Grand Indonesia that is recently open, "Made with Love".
I believe that this is a scrapbook heaven.
I can't wait to visit the shop this weekend and see what I can adopt.
Meanwhile, you can feast your eyes in their website HERE.

Tia's Bachelorette Trip

Last month my gank and I made our last trip before Tia tied the knot.

Our destination was Singapore.

Lidia also joined us.

We stayed at Amigos Hostel and enjoyed every moment of our stay. It is a backpacker hostel but is very comfortable. The only downside is, it only has 1 toilet and 1 bathroom at every level.

Happy Birthday Love

When Life Throws Dirt On You

When Life Throws Dirt On You !! 
Repost from my dear friend, Eliz.


One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hour as the farmer tried to figure out what to do.

Finally , he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbors to come over and help. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later , the farmer finally looked down the well , He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back the donkey was doing something amzaing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbors continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal , he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off.

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, All kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells, just by not stopping, never giving up. Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy :

1. Liberate your heart from Hatred - Forgive

2. Liberate your mind from worries - Most never happen.

3. Live simply and appreciate what you have.

4. Give more.

5. Expect less.

One Fine Night

Dear Wagyu Beef,

why are you so expensive?

*Good for me I dont eat beef. 

There Goes my Saturday

Made this flash disk and a family shio figurine as a gift for Lauren. She is the daughter of my office mate, who has resigned recently. I, Lauren, and her mom have the same shio, rabbit, so the age gap of each of us is 12 years =D. 

I asked for colors, and Lauren said pink n purple. So I assume, those are her fave color. I also gave her the yellow n pink flashdisk pouch.

As for the figurine,  a horse dad, rabbit mommy, and rabbit Lauren. They are having picnic in the park with lotsa doughnuts and tea. It is spring so the foil and grass are covered with blooming flowers. Lovely!

And so after everything is done, I packed them and ready to deliver them to Lauren's house in Serpong. I made a quickstop at a fruit shop to buy fruits for Lauren's Mom. As Honey was busy picking the apples and oranges, I took my time strooling around the shop. 

Catching up with  friends  is always a fun thing to do. After having a chit chat for and hour or so, we decided to have an early dinner at Serpong. The place was nice, we ate at a lesehan near the corner. After we almost finished, the rain fell down heavily. I loved it! For a moment I almost forget that I was stil in Serpong. The chill breeze, the smell of the rain, and the twilight made me think like I was in Puncak or Bandung =D.

Serpong traffic at Saturday night was such a disaster. The road has no line seperator, so it was a mess. But I need to fulfill my promise to my sister. So from Serpong, me and honey drove to Tangerang and visit Tia to buy a BB.

It was a tiring day, but I was happy =)

Love,

Quote of the Day

"For what it’s worth: it’s never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

Pale Pink Noodle

I took another day off today and went to my old school to enjoy 'bakmi encik'.
I was wearing this vintage dress my sister bought me. I love it alot, though my mom said that I look like I had a baby bump.

I ate 2 bowls. Ha!
One is the original chicken noodle, and the other one is chicken noodle cooked with Indomie goreng seasoning. Nom nom!
Not to worry, I only ate half each, so it was only one portion in total =D.

In the car in our way home, suddenly we smell something really bad. My sister than started laughing and opened the window! She farted!
My mom then said, "Hey Nenk, dont poo in the car."
It was funny. We kept on laughing with each of our faces looking out the window.
Look at her 'innocent' face below.


Anyway, I felt like giving my room a new facelift. It now has branches and colorful birdies on the wall.

In the evening, I went to church to make a confession, my old English Course, Segarra, and karaoke to end the day.
