Hello, October

Goodbye September... and oh hello, October! 

• 15 months w/ my bf on October 6.  

Yeeeeehaaaa! Will reach 15 months relationship with him in 5 days from now on. I wish I could be a better gf for him; stop complaining etc. and be a good girl. Also, I wish he would be better too; be more romantic (you wont believe how un-romantic he is) and act nicer to me :p 

• I'll have my mid-test this month starting with October 7.

You've gotta kidding me, this is my first time having test week in VHS, and I just know that I should do three tests in a day: I went mad just with two tests a day (when I was in JHS) and now three? *bang my head to the wall repeatedly* but yeah, the show must go on. Wish me luck for my first test week ever in VHS... :')

• My choir group will perform on October 20.

Kewl, rite? Lol just kidding... But I don't even remember when the last time I performed somewhere in a choir group. And yes, the choir group I mean is my friends in vocal extracurricular. We'll perform in a mall in Tangerang, the songs are Heal The World, Indonesia Jaya, and my school's jingle. Need to practice a lot. Practices makes perfect (/'3')/

Becoming Your Best Self

This has been EVERYTHING to me. If you're on my personal page, you saw me talk about this the other day. Even so, take this a reminder. Now you've heard it twice and you're accountable.  This is something I had to learn and practice for myself and I can tell you honestly.... this way lies happiness and fulfillment! 

You have an image of your best self in mind. Everyone does. Whether you see yourself as a speaker, an author, a teacher, a student, a wife and mother, a happy husband greeting his family at the door, everyone has a picture in their mind of their best self.

My encouragement to you today is that it is important that you take steps towards that picture every day. I can't stress enough how important that is. For some of you, it is a matter of life and death. Too long operating outside of your ideal image damages EVERYthing in your life. It can lead to health problems, challenges in your spiritual walk, relationship problems and parenting issues. Believe me. I know! It can even lead to depressive states.

Some call it "cognitive dissonance" when you have something YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE DOING but you continue to allow yourself not to do it. For example, you KNOW you should launch that business, but you hesitate. You KNOW you should ask that woman out on a date, but you don't. The longer you continue to deny your best self, the more you begin to lose that self.  You begin to slip backwards.  You become frustrated and often don't know why.

Keep taking steps towards who you know you're meant to be. A wonderful added benefit is how great you will begin to feel about yourself and your life once you know you're fighting for progress even in small ways! Go forward! #BabyStepsCountToo #KeepMoving

Stitch-ed!

He is the cutest creature ever that ever existed!

I loooooove this funny blue alien so much-much-much!

And yeah, since the weather is getting hotter lately, his favorite thing is the fan.

Click, click!

A few hours ago, I felt like I really need to take some selcas, and I did. I took my tab and started my photo session: click, click! With the help of Camera360, Fotorus, and Meitu (those are names of photo editor apps; if you're a girl, you should've known that lol), I got two new selcas.

I love how Fotorus creatively make so many kind of collages, and this one is my favorite! For filter, I usually use Meitu because it's easier to use. It also has a lot of various filters. 

I took this one using timer. It's a miracle right? I mean, look at the first panel: I smiled while showing my teeth. That's very rare pose of me! :3

I use Camera360 very often; it hides pimples and makes your face looks flawless. You know, girls. Sometimes, they would do anything to looks prettier even if only on photos lol. For selcas, I prefer front camera than back camera. But my cellphone's front camera doesn't have very good quality, so I usually use my tab to take selcas.

Well, as a conclusion, I think I just posted a semi-review post. I just reviewed those photo editor apps, rite? Firstly, I just want to share my new selcas lol :p at least my post just became more meaningful, and those apps should thank me for this! :'3

Heal The World

There’s a place, in your heart, and I know that it is love
And this place, could be much brighter than tomorrow
And if you, really try, you’ll find there’s no need to cry
In this place, you’ll feel there’s no hurt or sorrow

 

There are, ways to get there
If you care enough for the living
Make a little space…
Make a better place…

Heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are, people dying, if you care enough for the living
Make a better place, for you and for me

 

If you want, to know why, there’s a love that cannot lie
Love is strong, it only cares for joyful giving
If we try, we shall see, in this bliss we cannot feel
Fear or dread, we stop existing and start living

Then it, feels that always, love’s enough for us growing
Make a better world,
And make a better world…

Heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are, people dying, if you care enough for the living
Make a better place, for you and for me

And the dream we were conceived in will reveal a joyful face
And the world we once believed in will shine again in grace
Then why do we keep strangling life
Wound this earth crucify it’s soul
Though it’s plain to see, this world is heavenly, be God’s glow

We could fly, so high, let our spirits never die
In my heart, I feel you are all my brothers

Create a world, with no fear, together we’ll cry happy tears
See the nations turn their swords into plowshares

We could, really get there, if you cared enough for the living
Make a little space, to make a better place…

 

Heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are, people dying, if you care enough for the living
Make a better place, for you and for me

Heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are, people dying, if you care enough for the living
Make a better place, for you and for me

Heal the world, make it a better place
For you and for me and the entire human race
There are, people dying, if you care enough for the living
Make a better place, for you and for me

There are, people dying, if you care enough for the living
Make a better place, for you and for me 

 

You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (make a better place)
You and for me (heal the world we’re living)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we’re living)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we’re living)
You and for me (save it for our children)
You and for me (heal the world we’re living)
You and for me (save it for our children)

Are you real?

Are you real?
Are you honest to me?
Are you grateful for our first meet?

Are you fake?
Are you lying to me?
Are you regretting our first meet?

Do you like me; for real?
Or are you perforced to be with me,
not because you're liking me?

Sorry if I accidentally bothering you,
but this is me.
I'm me being myself. 

Ba dum tss!

Lately, I go home late because I have to attend so many extracurricular activities. I only can go home on time on Mondays and Wednesdays. But today, I went home late because I was drum practicing in one of my school's music studio (my school has three music studios) with Nabiilah and Rani. We practice while waiting for Grace; she need to band practice with other ppl. 

I'm super amateur about music instruments. I have a guitar, keyboard, pianika*, and flute in my home but I can't play those instruments correctly. I mean, I play them perfunctorily; just for fun. But doesn't mean those instruments are useless in my house. I use the guitar for my music lesson at school and my sis can play keyboard a little. Also, I used to play pianika and flute in elementary school. *pianika is a music instrument that looks like a keyboard, but it's smaller and we need to blow the rubber tube to make its sound

Nabiilah, Rani, and Grace are in band extracurricular team. I really want to join but I can't because band extracurricular activity is on Fridays, together with taekwondo activity. They learned how to play drum! Drum is one of music instruments that I really want to learn. I also want to be able to play guitar. Why? Well, because it's cool: be able to play music instruments. 

While Grace practicing, Nabiilah, Rani, and I 'play' in the studio right next to her studio. We play drum and the piano, make noises like crazy. Like I said, I'm super amateur about music instruments, but as everyone knows: photos are the best liar. Here's the proof:

Do I look like a professional drummer? Lol. Ini mah cuma keren di foto doang, aslinya kagak bisa maennya, cuma asal gebuk aja. But I didn't lie that I really want to learn how to play drum! I wish I'll have time to learn how to! 

We went home at around 3 pm. I still want to asal gebuk drum play the drum, but I'll get scolded if I go home too late. I met my JHS friend on public transport, she was Devi Elora. She's in SMAN1TRA now. 

'kay, I think that's all for today. See you next time! 'w')/
