FUTURE PLAN

Maybe this post is too arrogant. Or may be too ambitious? Well, I'm sorry if this post will so damn annoy you but... I don't know anywhere else where I can write this thought.

Here's my future plan.

After I graduate from IHS, I would go on board. Join to the best cruise line and take 1-2 contracts until I can return my parent's money that they've invested for my education and give them capital to do some business. 

And then, I will work on hotel. Reach the best position. Build my career there.

And If I have another chance and have enough time, I will go to China/Taiwan and study Chinese and... maybe it's impossible... chase my dream to join JVR.

I hope this future plan comes true and I hope it won't fail anymore. I'm gonna chase my dream.

TASTE OF BITTERSWEET [Pt.1]

TASTE OF BITTERSWEET

<Renata>

Aku sedang memberi makan ke-15 ikan koki peliharaan Papa dari pinggir kolam ketika aku mendengar kelakar Ray yang membahana dari arah ruang tamu.

Flashback

I'm at my hometown right now. And today, I decided to meet my highschool-bff, Lisa. We talked about so much things today and that was great. Furthermore, we visited our school's exhibition.

It was a flashback for me because I met so many old-faces there, for example, my highschool's teachers, friends, and juniors. Also, I heard the highschool's jingle over there and it reminded me to the-best-2:20 pm. Why I call it best? Because 2:20 was the time to back home :)

Gahh... Suddenly I miss my highschool life :)

October's Schedules

Alright, this October will be the busiest month during the year. 

Why?

Because I'm gonna do my drama and attend choir. Yay! 

Well, now I believe that every moment that happen has their own reason behind it.

I used to watch Jay Chou's concert this October but my Dad forbid me because... Yeah, you know, he's MOSTLY overprotective. 

But I didn't realize that... There are any other ahmazing things will happen in this October

Wishlist: CC Cream!

I swear, I'm obsessed to CC Cream!

For everyone who doesn't know what CC Cream is, CC cream is a new generation of BB Cream. *I recommend you to Googling it for more information*

Since I subscribed ibuybeauty on youtube and follow up their make up tips, I got a new reference for a brand new stuff called CC Cream.

There are so many make up brand that produce CC cream these days, for example Bobbi Brown, Dior, Urban Decay and etc. But somehow, I prefer to pick Korean brand since It was born in Korea.

I picked Banila Co.

There are so many reviews said that this CC cream is amazing! It corrects all those skin imperfection and gives you a flawless skin like Jessica (the model). Unfortunately, it hasn't come to Indonesia yet. So, we have to buy it online and that's the biggest problem for me.

I still can't find any trustworthy online shop that sell this product.

Any recommendation?

You Are Everywhere

I almost forget that, everything is fair enough like Yin Yang's theory. 

If there's a happiness, there will be a sadness afterward.

Like what happened in my life today. Exactly, this morning, after I sent my Dad's costumer requested eggs...

I was on the way home with my Dad. Suddenly, I saw a very familiar face from Daddy's car window... A face that similar to him, the one that leaving a very deep scar in my heart...

The man that I've seen this morning really looks like him. Maybe, if there's no mole on his left eyebrows, I would say that it's really 'him'! I think, that man was on his rest after doing his morning exercise (he was riding a bicycle anyway).

Why does this world is too narrow? Why does this world have sooo many similar faces?

Remembering him is an hurtful activity.

Finally, Baby!

Signature Style

I still remember, for about 3 weeks ago (if I'm not mistaken), I attend my college's beauty class. One word for this: HORRIBLE.

As we know, 'BEING GOOD-LOOKING' is a MUST if we talk about hospitality. So that's why, my college gave us this session and wish that we will dress better. 

And because this is a beauty class, so we are focusing on fashion, style, and so on.


I've learned make up since very long time ago and it's so naturally that I've found my own style to applying make up on my face. Thus, when I joined and followed this class, I felt little bit uncomfortable with the lesson.

I don't know if it's true or not, but the BC (I make it short) Teacher said that depends on hospitality's standardization, our make up should be visible and it means that it should be BOLD.

Crap! For Givenchy's shake, I hate bold make up. I hated it when I had to apply the foundation for twice! Seriously! The first layer was applying foundie that, I think, 2-3 shades darker than our skin tone. Teacher said this was the concealing step so that we can hide our dark circles, blemish, acne scars, and etc. Second, we applied the foundie that match with our skin tone.

Moved to drawing the face--step, we started to redefined our eyebrows, applying eyeshadows, mascara, blush, and lipstick. And this was the step that I hated THE MOST. Everything should be bold, bold, and bold.

Teacher taught us how to draw the eyebrows with eyebrows pencil that I think, it was better to be an eyeliner pencil because it was damn bold. And then moved to the eyeshadows, the concept was natural but teacher taught us to applied it as bold as we can. 
Finally the last step: applying eyeliner--mascara--blush--and lipstick. The end.

Phew!

Something FYI, I didn't follow the teacher when I applied the eyeshadow, AT ALL. I made it by my self. Why? 

Because I didn't want to break my signature style.

My signature style is natural make up, like kpop make up. Thin layered foundie, straight grayish/brownish eyebrows, eyeliner, and natural colors. Less but more. And bold make up is not my style at all. 

Maybe, teachers, friends, and especially, lecturers might say that female hotelier is beautiful with those kind of make up, but I'm sorry, I don't agree. 

Everyone has their own signature style and standardization of dressing/looking good. I, my self, maybe I can compromise with that visible lipstick but the rest, I'm sorry, I can't.

I want to feel comfortable and happy with my own make up, 

NOT LIKE THIS

Rina (left) and Me (right)

BUT LIKE THIS

Do not ever try asking me to change my signature style!

The End

As Fergie ever said in her song "Fairytales don't always happy ending, do they?"

Yes, they do.

My own fairytale will never happy ending as long as the King still leads that unbreakable kingdom. I won't get the thing that I want as long as I still become his princess. And I'm waiting for the time that I can live alone and truly do what I want to do.

Sometimes, I think that I'm so stubborn, but I am not. I still live like this, and never able to do what I want to do.

Because my king still holds my destiny.

Silly Confession: Ice Cubes

I'm addicted to ice cubes.

Yep.

Ice cubes is just like morphine for me. I think, I can't live better in a day without consuming at least one cube of it.

For me, ice cubes taste like cookies. 

It's crunchy, you know. And I can't describe how tasteful it is when I chatter with my teeth.

Between Dream and Reality

I know that I'm a sleepyhead but... I can't understand why does every single dream seem so real for me.

This morning, I woke up by a super big question tag in my head. I couldn't drive before, so why I though that I've ever drove a car? 

I always feel that I've ever drove a car but when I looked back on several years ago, I just took my driving course and I fail. So this is something impossible that I've ever drove a car.

Well, sometimes I can't distinguish between dream and reality.

Is it a kind of De Javu or something???? If you know what kind of phenomenon is this, please kindly tell me

The Next Chapter: IHS

As I said before, I'm attending college right now. And my college is IHS Well, it is not officially a college but... I think, it's kinda look like an academy? 

But, who cares.

I already been here, and as I observe it so far... I think this is the best place to set my future. 

Anyway, let's not talk about the school, but let's talk about my life as its student. If you are curious about my school, just click its link above (which I've already highlighted)

Here's some pics, start from my very first day.

My school gave us a special feature called 'English Fluency' to improve our English skill by following the class everyday. It took 2 weeks longer (If I'm not mistaken) and it was totally seize my holiday. Told ya. I just back from Bali and 2 weeks afterward, the school called me to join this class, while my SHS friends were enjoying their rest holiday. 

Those 2 gentlemen in the picture were my teacher during this 'English Fluency'. The first picture, his name is Bartek Chmielwski. He was from Poland. And the other one, his name is Geoff Thureson. He is a native speaker and was from Canada.

During this EF--well, I make it short, I met sooooo many new faces from many different place. For example my classmates, they are new for me. I seriously never met them before. 

At the first time, I was little bit scare if I couldn't make friend with them. But, Thank's God, as the time passed by, we are good friends now.

Unfortunately, we are separated now :( I don't know if it was only a temporary class. Some of them still be in a same class with me, but the other... They moved. 

There's no such an eternal meeting and there's no such an eternal separation.

Are you with me about this quotation? 

No matter where we are, we're still friends.

And... Beside founding a new class, I found new friends too. Here's my people, good friends in the society 

That is me, the one who took the selca. Behind me, that's Rina. She stays in a same boarding house with me. Beside her, there's Egga. And then, the one who's hugging the pole, that's Agus. Next to him, that's Al.

We're close enough and sometimes we hangout together.

*we're celebrating Rina's birthday at Mom Milk. Yep, we drank so much milk and fortunately, it was FREE, because Rina paid for us kekeke~*

Another activities...

We were doing outbond and kinda supporting something (?!)

*HEY! WE ARE THE PARSLEY CLASS! and we WON the supporter competition*

...because life's too short to worrying about uncertain things, so face the truth! 

Reality is beautiful!

Catch The Sun

Hola!

Your brighter future is on the corner.

Don't wait! Go on and catch it. 

Like those wise men said, 'Your future is pure. Who cares about your past life?"

Life is about infinite possibilities, so that's why, I dare to do what I want to do. I bravely change my future plan, since I have to attend the university and I'm taking hospitality--which, I never think about it before. 

You are the only director of your life. So, if it's fail, you have the right to fix it by your own way.

XOXO,
