We Have Moved to a New City!
Bandung was never empty during the weekend, especially that Saturday. Prior to my departure on Sunday afternoon, my husband and I planned to settle some things up. Our plan included getting a haircut (this was very important because haircut was much more expensive compared to one in Indonesia), copying some important documents, and eating Bakmi Akung for lunch.

I AM HOME!!!

At the beginning of June, nothing excited me most than getting my Portugal VISA on hand. I had a mixed feeling towards this trip to Porto compared to one I had in 2012. I was married and I had to leave my husband for around 10 days. On the other side, I was THAAAAT excited to reunite with my friends and colleagues in Porto.

What did I get for Myself to Celebrate the Oct 25th
You are used to get tons of birthday presents from your friends. But when was the last time you gave yourself a birthday present?
I am indeed very lucky. I have my families and friends around on my special day —Well, actually I don’t want to call it a special day since it reminds me if I am getting a year older.

For the-N times Oct 25th this year, I wanted to give myself a present. A memorable one. Therefore, I started saving some bucks for that present.
Makeup Review: A Week of Red Lipstick Galore
What could be sweeter than a large-sized cup of your favorite ice cream filled with colorful sprinkles and marshmallows? It’s a sweet package of red lipsticks! My excitement arose when I found 2 lip creams, 1 lipstick, and 2 lip balms inside @arundati.id white paper bag. Without further ado, I planned my whole week outfit aligned with lip colors I would use.
