Brand-minded

Lately I've been hearing stories about these rich spoiled daughters of my mom's friends. They got married or will be married to super rich dudes, and ever since the only things in their little spoiled heads are Gucci, LV, Hermes, Laboutins, Chanel, Prada and so on. They kept on buying all those stuffs from handbags, shoes, clothes, and duh, they cost a fortune. An Hermes Birkin bag costs about as much as a city car!!

Well it's not that I don't like branded bags, which girly girl doesn't, right? But that's so over the top, why try so much to be a hot socialite, no normal girl needs that many branded bags or shoes, why try to be a walking advertisement board, why show off so much, it's not even the money they earn themselves...

Anyway, I'm quite irritated hearing these stories my mom tells me, and I pray pray pray to God that no matter how rich I would become one day, I wouldn't turn into one of these girls, who let their branded accessories define who they are.

Chanel Inimitable Mascara - not buying it anymore

I first came into contact with Chanel Inimitable Mascara when a half-size sample came with my Glamour Subscription back when I was still in Germany. I tried it on, and it was WOW. The best mascara I've ever had, it had everything, volume, length and curl. My eyelashes are "barely there" meaning it's sooo short and thin I usually don't bother wearing mascara because it's not gonna be visible anyway, but the chanel mascara was good. I suddenly "have" lashes :P

And so after that I bought the full-size tube. And for a few years I haven't used much mascara, and just last month I saw this add, and remember the good 'ol days, so I bought another tube when I was at the airport. It cost me USD 29, and whadya know, it isn't as good as I remember it was. It's no better than the L'oreal Collagen Mascara that I've been using for a while. So I dont think I wanna buy one anymore, it cost more than twice compare to L'oreal.

Skin care splurges

Lancome Genifique Eye Concentrate

In quest of searching a good eye-cream for my now PUFFY eyes with dark-circles, I came across this product while reading the in-flight shop magazine while traveling to Guangzhou. It got great review, and that they tested on around 40-50 women who get great improvement after 28 days. Sucker! So I bought at the Guangzhou airport before leaving back to Jakarta. It cost me around USD 55, the highest I've ever paid for an eye cream, so it'd better work!

DHC Deep Cleansing Oil

I found this product a few days ago while buying a MAC Cream blush from an online shop, and so I browsed for a review and turns out it's a very popular product from a japanese skincare company. A bit expensive here (around USD 38) but it's worth it, now I don't need my Clinique extra gentle eye make-up remover anymore (I'm out of it anyway), because this cleansing oil cleans all my make-up including Mascara! Don't need cotton pads anymore, just rinse them, and my face and eyes are all clean! yay... It's good because rubbing my eyes too much with cotton pad isn't good for the skin around the eyes, right?

Who's got a new toy ??

I got a new tooyy... And it's iphone 4, gadget freaks!

Yes, you'd think I wasted "that" much money on a 2nd cellphone (I will and can not live without my blackberry). But as a matter of fact I bought it quite cheap from a friend, who bought it last month but regretted it because he owns a blackberry and an ipad also. Meaning, it's sittig duck at his place. So I offered to buy it from him, and he gave it to me cheap considering it's not exactly brand new and it doesn't come with the original box. Mmmm hmmm!

So why did I suddenly decide to buy an iphone when I explicitly said over and over that iphone as a phone is useless and it's for someone who loves to play games, which would not be me!

Well, the ipad I received as a gift from my dad is definitely to blame. So I've been using the tablet device for a few weeks now and I can see how useful it is as u can download a lot of apps, for example dictionaries, so you don't have to go online all the time to find online dictionaries, and also the little budgeting apps they have, ie Homebudget, a very handy and useful thing to have. But of course I realize bringing ipad all the time in my already-heavy-bag is not exactly convenient right. So I thought about getting an ipod touch to replace the function of ipad, but why stop at ipod when I can buy the oh-so-in-demand iphone 4 at a discounted price, righhhttttt??? So there ya have it :D

I'm just happy as it is right now browsing for cute games and stupid but maybe useful apps to try on!

Easy to say hard to do

If there's one thing I learned about men watching my mom, my sisters, women in movies with their respective spouses, or reading the mars and venus book series, is that men need respect.

In contrary to most of us girls, most of guys need to be respected more than loved.

This, for example, I have discussed over and over with my eldest sister. So theoretically I already know how to make a relationship works when going in to one. If I just do according to my knowledge I would be the perfect girlfriend and no man would leave me.

But of course haha, even marriage consultants could have problems in their marriage. My point is that it's sooooo hard to change myself into my better self, even though I know what I'm doing wrong, and sometimes even I'm annoyed with what I do.

And of course for example when you're fighting you cannot pause for 5 seconds to think "if y happens, I should do x" in the heat of the moment.

In my case I've taken my bf for granted, when I have promised him before that something like that would never happen in our relationship. But then after a while it got comfortable, I feel loved too much that I sometimes knowingly abuse him with painful words and snobbish actions and disrespect him, sometimes when other people are around.

Good thing I got reminded! Frictions are good at times to remind me to land my feet on the ground.

Learn from your mistake

By being my very impatient usual self I piss EVERYONE around me...

Patience is something I have to work on since ages ago actually. But sometimes I just don't get how someone doesn't get something so simple. Or why someone can't learn to be on time.

I'm starting to understand that one case in House MD, where a patient deliberately took some medicine for years to make himself more stupid (he was an academic genius) just so he can learn to love his wife and her incapability to understand a lot of things because she was born with average size brain.

I need to be more patient in order to be able to love the important people in my life better...

Great make-up bad outfit

I was flipping through Glamour magazine in the toilet (while nature called heh heh), and I found an ad for Shakira's fragrance. I totally digged Shakira's eye make-up, with gold-bronze and black combination she just looks amazing, not that I even like her especially.

So I spent time trying to imitate her look, which of course I failed miserably because, doh, I don't have gold metallic eye-shadow (must buy!), and I ended up experimenting with bronze brown and black and invented another look! I have to say, not bad! Anyway when I realized I spent already nearly an hour, and I haven't even blow-dried my hair... After my hair is done I rushed to pick up an outfit and I know it's really late already so I just picked whatever's come to mind.

So here I am, with great make-up on my eyes, half-done hair, and mismatched outfit! Pink flowery tank-top, grey blazer-cardigan, blue skinny jeans, and striped green-ish ballerina flats! Disaster...

The lesson to be learnt today: pick your outfit first then do your make-up, it's always better to dress nicely with a subtle so-so make-up!

Ballerinaddiction

Girls and shoes, are inseparable things. Like Carrie from Sex and the City, girls are prone to buy shoes than anything else when going shopping. But I thought it wasn't for me, I was more the Bag-type. But I just realized, I'm just not that much into high-heels, because I know I only wear them occassionally. Turns out, if I start counting, I did buy A LOT of ballerina flats over the course of 1 year HA!
Below are SOME of them..

iPad invasion

My dad came home from Singapore bringing me an iPad 32GB with WIFI + 3G. Actually, even though I can consider myself a gadget maniac, I wasn't too into the whole iPhone/iPad situation. But playing it for a while already made me realize that it is indeed a very good thing, very convenient. I can now throw out my organizer book, for example :P

Anyway first thing to do with an iphone/ipad of course is to JAILBREAK the thing so I could enjoy all the (free) apps. But little did I know, my iPad came with a firmware version 3.2.2, which cannot be jailbroken :-(

I have tried and tried any method available online (from multiple forums), and it just doesn't work, people say it's too late now, a month ago maybe I could still do it.

Anywho, with the deepest sorrow, I'm gonna need to start paying for applications I need. A lot of them are still free, or cost only USD 0.99 so it might be OK.

One app really caught my attention, which is the HomeBudget with Sync app. It's an expense tracker/checkbook balancer/Bill Reminder all-in-one, and for the full version I would have to pay USD 4.99 (still OK), especially considering I have been looooooking all over for this kind of app for my Blackberry and couldn't find a good one. So after October, I'd say goodbye to XPENSER, which was crappy anyway.

But even so, I'm still half-expecting that someone would come with the Jailbreak soon! :P

Brazilian Blow-Outs

Nicole Richie's naturally shiny straight hair's secret was featured in the latest edition of Marie Claire Indonesia. It made my heart thumped as it tricked me into thinking that this latest fashion woo is already available in Indonesia! But it's not!! It's just an article, it doesn't say whether the service is available in any hair salons.. *sniffs*

What is a Brazilian blow-out you say? It's a new invention by the Gods of hairstyles, it's like hair-smoothing only way better, with Keratin as active in ingredients, the cream is supposedly locked into each hair to make it naturally smooth and shiny and straight, as if you were born with that kind of hair! A Godsend for each and everyone of us who has frizzy dry damaged hair. And it doesn't create super-straight with sticky ends like if you get a hair re-bonding or hair smoothing. It looks very natural.. (watched it on Indovision's Style Networks)

Supposedly it costs about USD 400 per treatment in the U.S. (only lasts 4-6 weeks compared to 4-6 months for hair smoothing) and it's not yet available anywhere else. But cocoperez.com published an article called "Brazilian blow-outs on a budget", meaning hair products companies are trying to come out with similar treatment products, only on a much smaller budget. Let's just cross our fingers...

It's Time for a Change

For weeks I've been trying to lose the World Cup weight and obviously did not succeed, otherwise I wouldn't have written this entry ha ha..

I'm that kind of person. When I'm highly motivated I would run/jog at least 3x a week, and eat less, when I'm so-so motivated, I wouldn't excercise a lot and just hope to lose weight by not snacking so much.

But I've decided to pick up on working-out, I don't have to be constantly on the treadmill machine which is Oh-sO-Boring! , I'll maybe try the couch-potato work-out like suggested in prevention.com, and treadmill jogs when I feel like it.

I've always hated going on the scale after a week of working out because I always gain weight! Now I have to remind myself it's the muscle building up and that's a good thing. Because after looking at the scale I usually get depressed and stop working-out alltogether. Or better yet, maybe I shouldn't get on the scale at all... But that can also be dangerous at times..

Anywhoooooo work-out, diet, work-out, diet! Yeah!

New addiction *sniffs*

My shopaholic nature came crawling out, after my sister who lives in Singapore introduces me to this website that sells A LOT of things that I would want to buy, in a discounted price! (of a price that's already cheaper than if I buy them in Jakarta)

Good thing the website is in Singapore, so I can only buy things when I know my sister is coming home for vacation. And she is, next month, and so I'm going to order 5 kind of benefit cosmetics, and skin 79 BB Cream. Did I mention CHEAP?

They sell the BB Cream at around SGD 9.90 only, in Indonesia - if available - it would be at least 2x more expensive, sometimes 3x.

As for benefit cosmetics, nope it's not yet available in Indo, but the ones in gmarket are already cheaper than in its original country the US. Incredible!

I don't know how they do it, but kudos the seller! I love you guys muaachhh

Oh Crap

I'm really really really really reaaalllyyyy forgetting my Japanese..

1. About 2 weeks ago my dad had some japanese customers visiting, and he brought me along as usually, for his own vain need. He kept pushing me, tell this story to them in japanese, say this and that to them in Japanese, and not that I didn't want to, but I went blank didn't know how to even start the sentence..

2. Last week I met an old friend of my sister who used to live in Japan, but she hasn't been in Japan for more years than me, and she spoke to me in a high-speed japanese, and my brain just froze.

3. I came across old emails between me and my former-employer Mrs Aoyama in Frankfurt, and our professor Woldering, I read them and I had to copy-paste a lot of kanji into the dictionary, and was amazed I could even wrote such emails to them that time..

Oh My God.

Band of Brothers : my heroes

As some people must have noticed, I have this little thing (called fascination) about the World War II. I've watched a lot of movies surrounding the WWII era, most of them the European theatre, and loved them and touched by them. The Pianist, the Black Book (dutch), the Schindler's List, Saving Private Ryan, the Inglorious Basterds, they're among my favorites and beat most other war movies in Vietnam, or the middle east. It's just so much emotion in WWII movies.

Anyhow, above all those movies, my absolute favorite is definitely the HBO mini series "Band of Brothers", which follows a company of paratroopers, the story of each of the main soldier is just so intense and personal that everybody just has to fall in love with it. It's rated 9.4 in imdb.com I think.

It's a bit late to be obsessed by this, since the mini-series already came out since 2002, and I have to admit I watched this after Pacific came out. Pacific was good, but after watching BoB, it doesn't even come close.

So obsessed I am, I started reading a thick biography of the BoB's E company commander, Major Dick Winters -portrayed by brit actor Damien Lewis, the funny detective from TV series Life -, who is probably the most awesome leader whose story I have ever read. Then I finished reading Sgt. Don Malarkey's -played by Scott Grimes, very well imo- biography as well, so heartbreaking it made my eyes teary a couple of time, how he lost his bestfriend ever in the war and how he came to terms with that. And now I have another Dick Winters' bio, in a different perspective ready to be 'jumped'.

And now I'm starting to panic because when I'm done with this book, I don't have anything else in terms of BoB. It's not easy to find these kinds of book in Indo, I had to order them from Amazon when a friend of mine was going to the US and asked her to bring them home for me. And after this what do I do? Good thing I found the original Band of Brothers by Stephen Ambrose on the kinokuniya bookweb Singapore, I'm gonna make sure my sister pick that up for me.

Now with some time to kill, bf and I started watching a new HBO miniseries "Generation Kill", also true stories following the marines in Kuwait and around. Watching this one, all that come to my head is, what a boring war, not worth fighting, not bloody, what a big joke with the marines catfighting racially with each other, about them being pissed cuz little kids called them Army instead of Marines (duh not many civillians know the difference), about how they pampered questions to their ranking Lieutenant asking if it's true that J.Lo's dead. WHO THE FUCK cares?? How NOT band of brothers they are, even though they're on the same platoon! And what would Winters or Malarkey think if they see this series. Seriously. What a joke, what a disappointment. (I think I'd rather go to sleep soon)

I think I set my level too high, it's gonna be hard to like other war movies from now on. I don't think anything can top BoB (sigh).

Down the memory lane..

Should I feel sad and jealous after I friended a long time friend on Facebook and see that she's now living in Berlin, bartending. What a crazy happy life she seems to have, and not bored and stuck back home in Indo doing boring job from 9 to 5?

I should right? Because I like adventures, I like living abroad, I like having the freedom to do anything. But I shouldn't either, because the last time I remember, I was also bored outta my life in Germany. I mean life was good and fun, but all those, don't mean a thing when I didn't have any purpose. I was just simply living a free life, and I was bored. Having fun, but bored inside. Gettit? (I don't)

Like always, I just ramble and ramble, analyzing too much, I don't know what I want. The idea of settling down is not so bad when I rethink about it..

A plan for Saturday

I'm still up because I just cannot fall asleep, trying to make a good plan for this Saturday. What is it you ask? My birthday. Not that I was always excited about my own birthday like some people, I'm actually very not excited, because it's just a reminder that I'm well near the big 3!

But anyway, it just so happens on a Saturday, so I've no excuse not to throw out a party. Well unlike in western countries, the birthday girl actually has to treat her friends for dinner drinks whatever boo hoo! But it's ok, this year I've received my advanced gift from my dad to cover those expenses hurrah!

I'm considering 2 restaurants: A has better food, B has better atmosphere. Which to choose?

Also, this would be a farewell to a good boy - friend, not bf mind you, as he will be leaving the country the next day, so I want something more special.

As for the after party, I'm planning to treat myself to a sexy dancer show. Hope my good bf can arrange that for me :-)

Why football and not other sports?

Over the past few years I've been a various sports fan. Used to be into tennis when I was small, got into the addiction of European Football when I was a teenager, watched a lot of NBA games in the US, surprisingly turned into a Hansin Tiger, the coolest baseball team from Osaka when I was in Japan.

And then it's back to football fever thanks to WC 2006 during my stay in Germany.

Literally crazy over the WC 2010.

And now I remember the most obvious reason why I love the game in the first place. The hunks hunks hunks!!! Which other sport can produce so many hot players in a single event?? The Spanish team alone can beat the likes of Brad Pitt, Josh Hartnett or Ryan Reynolds' assess! Oh not to mention Xabi Alonso.. Hunk of the hunk!!! No hollywood star is as hot as he is, with his deep sympathetic look and very sexy english accent *giggles*

Ahhh I'm in love...

Out of the comfort zone

Can anyone believe it if I say World Cup might change my life?

It happens so, after the World Cup 2010 is over, I'm left devastated and lost, and realizing that my life is completely utterly boring. All my life I've been following some kind of a path (with minor exceptions for a few years, which then end up putting me back on this path) that someone (my parents, God, I dunno) have set up for me.

Deciding that I need a kick in my life, I thought about pursuing a career as a make-up artist. Huh?

So I talked to a good friend of mine, whose life has been turned 180 degree after she got married. She is glowing everyday, doing what she likes for a living, with a very supportive husband, and still part-time a career-woman. I envy her, 100%. So we discussed about the possibilities for me to have a different path of life. She - not me - decided that I'm multi-talented, and that I will succeed in anything I pursue seriously. And she talked about it, the make-up artist thing. I blabbered to her about it before, how it WOULD be nice, but I never thought of anything serious about it, because it's just a hobby, not really something I would do for a living (why the hell not??). Answer is always the same : "I don't know, it's just not for me"

That's just one of those "dreams" that faded away in my life.
What about my passion of becoming a fashion editor for a magazine ? - nah, decided against it because I don't have enough interest keeping up with the current Mode.
A manga-illustrator ? Too much work, have to take courses first, besides, any rich successful mangaka back home? Nope, don't think so.
Becoming an interpretor for the UN? GET REAL! Such a high-skilled job requires dedication over the years, which I don't have.
Just a translator then, it has to be a little easier, right? Yeah, "but daddy is against it"
Couple consultant! I'm a good listener, and I give away good advices, because I'm good at analyzing things and have experienced them all! Wait, don't this need some kind of a psychology degree? Pfft.

This is the result after I analyzed myself!

My life is way too comfortable as it is. I live in a nice home, has an easy job, good pay, even though it's boring. Trying to weigh all the pros and cons, it's obvious that I don't have the guts to leave this life. What if I don't succeed in this and that?? I have already a nice life, why bother??

So when someone is not pinched, she would not go the extra mile for something. When you're cornered, you have to use all kind of talents, even the ones you didn't think you had in you, just to survive this cruel world. And when you're not, all those talents would just go down the drain. Like mine.

I can do something about it. I can change my own life. But I probably won't. It's just too comfortable already. What if I don't succeed?? *snickers* Oh well, what a bloody spoiled girl. Just an event like World Cup couldn't possible change that fact.

Who's your favorite footballer?

According to looks only!

Even though I don't support Spain, but mine would be their star players: Iker Casillas and Xabi Alonso. They're just hot hot hot and deserve to be on my b*ng list! Especially after watching Casillas kissed his reporter GF on national TV *melt* (watch below)

(check out this hot picture of Xabi and his then-GF now-Wife)

Oh, and somehow Andrea Pirlo made the list too. (again from a team I don't support) I just love his coolness.

Anyone from the english, german or dutch team? Umm nope, not really. This is weird, I have always preferred aryan caucasian than latins..

World Cup is over boo hoo!

World Cup South Africa 2010 is over, and I'm officially sad and lost! I know I don't really watch football anymore, I don't care so much about the leagues anymore, but World Cup has been my favorite event! It's just so exciting. Plus it brings back the memory of my summer in Germany in 2006, where I could experience a lot of good and new things, (like meeting a cute dutch at the fanfest in Frankfurt Main)

Anywho, I never expected much from England. They were humiliated by the Germans. Not that I was that sad, because I support the Germans too, they've been good to me for a couple of years :P

In contrary to that, I was really really sad when the Germans lost to Spain. It's like the nightmare in 2006 came back haunting. They had such a smooth journey until the Spaniards beat them. Real sad, it could have been their year!

And the other team I support is of course the Oranje. As much as I was sad they lost to Spain too in the final, it wasn't really that bad. They were quite lucky to be able to reach the final, and Spain was just the better team that night.

What's making me super sad is that now I have to go back to my old boring life. Not having anything I'm excited about anymore is just really bringing me down. It suddenly made me miss living abroad so much. I want to experience something again! But.. I'm too afraid to get out of my totally comfort zone. It's like I'm just alive.. but I don't exactly live... (;_;)

I love making myself pweetttyyyy

Most people don't know the effort I put in every morning, because to them I usually look "au naturel" and quite plain.
But these are my morning routines after taking a shower:

1. Put on skincare (at the moment Ultra Rich from L'Occitane for my dry skin complex)
2. Put on eyecream and of course lipbalm
3. Put on sunblocks/BB cream to smoothen some pore problem

4. DO MY EYEBROW - filling them with dark brown shadow with a brush, combined with light strokes of grey brow-pencil, shaving off unwanted hairs, brushing them again so they'd look nice and natural

5. Put on scotts tape on my right eye, so that the double-eye lid would look similar to the left one

6. Blowdry my hair, and not just blowdry, but mostly with round brush or flat brush depending on my mood

7. Put on soft eye-make up, like soft colored eyeshadows, and then some liners. If I have time I put on my gel eyeliner with a flat brush, if I'm rather in a hurry, I just put on some black eyeshadow along the eye line.

8. Add some loose powder across my face

9. And finally, some pinky powder-blush on

It'd look really natural and most people won't realize that I wear make-up, they'd think I just always look that good naturally ha ha.. and that's what I aim too.. But what they don't know is that to look good naturally you have to do all those routines.. my routines take at least 30 minutes.

No one's really beautiful naturally, without any make-up. A little of this and that really change everything.

And the good thing is, when you wash off your face at night, your bf won't run scared because he'd think you look like a zombie without anything on! Because it's your natural look, just added a bit make-up :D

NOTE : Most girls ignore this, but filling and shaping and caring for eyebrow is the most important thing. When you don't have time for everything else, make sure you take care of your eyebrow. Because good defined eyebrow will definitely define your entire face too :)

Wish I could turn back time

I would definitely do college all over again!!!

I was so ignorant and lazy, and passed some classes like Statistics 101, Finance 350, or OP Mgmt cheating, and I regret that so much, because I am sure that my brain was big enough for all these (I passed CALC with a smooth 4.0). But I was just really really uninterested at that time, so I didn't really study and passed the classes just OK. I don't remember learning anything much from college and that's probably entirely my fault....

Lame excuses!

I wish for a boyfriend/husband who would care about my mom, my dad, my sisters as much as I care about them. Who is excited and happy to meet them on family ocassions, and not say every single time "do I have to go babe?"

I don't see any reason not to love my carefree mom, my warm and funny sisters, ok my dad is maybe at times a bit harder to handle, but whose dad isn't? And he's just 1 out of 5 of my family members.

When you marry someone, you don't just marry that person, you marry the whole family! Have to take them all, or nothing at all.

Wow I've been lazy that long!

So continuing my previous post, my Agatha Christie fever is (maybe) over.. After a many books in a short period of time, I got burnt out.. I still have a few I haven't read, and I know the fever will be back soon anyway :)

To summarize these few months.. these are some good (and bad) things that happened to me :)

- Went to BKK.. shopped a lot, ate a lot, (gained weight a lot)

- Lost the weight from BKK

- Found a calling with Elex Media Club in PIK.. now I spend my time going there renting lots and lots of manga

- Going to Singapore this long weekend, bought universal studios tickets

- Watched a lot of good movies, for example 3 Idiots and Green Zone

and now the bad thing:

- Online shopping craze is back T.T Now I understand Rebecca Bloomwood's feeling, just last week I bought a new pair of Bikini.. for WHAT?? I don't like swimming, I don't like beaches.. Just because it was cheap and cute.. bleh...

- But the good thing is, my mood for basketball is back, yatta.

Mad about Agatha

3 Agatha Christie books read this past week... I'm on a roll..

Started last last weekend when me and my boy were on a date *yee haw*, and we were in the area, so I said I wanna stop by Kinokuniya in Senayan.

I wanted to buy some new stuffs to read, been reading too many mangas lately, it isn't healthy heh heh..

I browsed through the novel section, almost bought me a Jodi Picoult book. I texted my sis asking if she already owns that title, because I don't want to buy a double.. as I was waiting for her reply, I browsed through the crime/thriller section, and ended up buying 2 Agatha Christie's Poirot Novels: The Clocks and Third Girl. And 1 James Peterson's "The Quickie" just because it sounded vulgar ha ha...

Completely forgot about Jodi Picoult as I walkted to the cashier, my sister never replied my text either. Went home and started reading..

Then on the next day I browsed through imported 2nd hand books, where they're a good deal cheaper than the new ones... I bought 3 of them.. I just can't seem to stop reading AND buying.. I ended up ordering 6 more books just today!

I haven't picked up the James Peterson's book, no mood :P

Suddenly I decided to start posting about sweet/nice things my boyfriend does for me. Without this method I don't think I'd be able to remember everything.. So better one by one starting from now :-D

Rather than only remembering his negative points (which I can point out most of them easily).. :-)
