"A recipe has no soul. You as the cook must bring the soul to the recipe." 

Aphrodite has given up on love. She listens to boys yelling obscene things at innocent girls. She can be found serving drinks at the local bar to broken women and spitting poisonous words at the filthy gentlemen next to them. Apollo dreads the moment the sun rises. Because when the sun goes up, his local late night show ends and his hour of fame comes to a close. He can be found spending his days, sitting on a park bench asking for loose change and wishing his poetry was good enough. Ares doesn’t understand war anymore. All he sees is needless bloodshed and brutal homicide based upon abhorrent racial cleansing and childish disagreements. He can be found weeping over the destruction of schools and the murder of innocent children. 

Artemis doesn’t hunt game anymore. She carries a switchblade and mace, prepared to fight off any boy harassing a girl with intoxicated footsteps. She can be found holding back girl’s hair as they vomit up their insecurities while sobs wrack their body into the next morning. Athena has stopped believing in reason. When there’s international conflict concerning who marries who and a nationwide crisis about the newest fashion, reason just doesn’t seem applicable anymore. She can be found protesting with college students about real problems. Dionysus can’t help the madness. When the frequency of mental illness - in children nonetheless, has become so high? What’s the point? He can be found at the same pub and same seat as always; drinking the same dry whisky wishing everything would be the same as it used to be. 

The gods are among us and they can’t survive. Why should I?

Happy weekend everyone! so i was trying to make my own mix&match rolls because i was such a lazy ass went outside house to bought some and i ended up myself did my experiment with the ingredients i have inside the refrigerator. i tried this one when i went home to Batam because you know i love to cook. and this is the easiest way to make your own rolls at home while you can added up whatever you want inside the skin's rolls. 

The benefits of making your own dish is you can make sure you are eating clean. i mean, there are a lot of jajanan yang kebersihannya tidak terjamin. but, you can guarantee it by making it at your home and also it's more cheap and produces more rather than you buy it at the outside. dan juga, kebanyakan di luar sana kita kadang gatau mereka menggunakan minyak apa untuk menggorengnya, akan tetapi beda kalau kita membuatnya sendiri. the point is, just to make sure you know what you eat and also the cleanest as it finest.

I've been wondering all the time why most of people do not like veggies. I mean like this is a healthy food with a lot of good nutrition for our cells and body. but it doesn't mean you don't have to consume meat and kind of. but in the other way, i try to decreasing it. (because in fact, i am trying to be a vegetarian since long time ago). I love veggies, especially the green one because they're rich with antioxidant and vitamins. The functions of it are, firstly it helps to prevent such a dangerous diseases like cancer and also protect human body from oxidant stress. and secondly  help the body develop the capacity to fight against these by boosting immunity. 

And for people who commit diet, this is great way to do it because as we all know the vegetables are low in fats and calories. and i felt like my life is in empty sheet if i didn't eat them at least once a day. And i am so glad, finally i have found the vegetarian food outlet in Yogyakarta and they are in low budget price lists. it's called Loving Hut. All the ingredients of foods obviously didn't use any meat. but, they use mushroom as the substitute. and the taste? it absolutely feels like i ate meat or chicken. and the good news is, they don't add any kind of msg to the foods and that's why i love to eat in here. 

The price ranges also very make sense and match with anak kost's wallets. lol. And also, we can find Loving Hut in another countries such as like Australia. (Because they opened their branch-business to all over continents i guess). (And my wish lists is i gotta eat in Loving Hut from each countries it owns. Ah, the point is i love veggies food and i'm trying so hard to live my life healthy. that's why i prefer to cook by myself rather than buy a food at the outside. and i'm happy the way people love my cook especially my parents and boyf. 

So, people out there whom haven't eat properly (i mean accordingly to the impact of junk foods caused and kind of) please re-considering it again and change the way you live because your life is precious★★Thankyou for reading my not so important writing and have a very blast day to y'all!

One month left till the new year eve and my life just went so ordinary lol like the previous years. I just finished my mid term exams and only did well about 80% huhu. I am not quite satisfied with some subjects i've been done because it was pretty hard. But still pray for the best. And the truth to be told, actually this was a dusty post because it always ended up in my drafts.

Alright, back to the topic, have you watch the drama of Reply 1988 and Reply 1994? well, if you haven't done it yet, then you should haha because they were so freaking good. And i am a lil bit regret why did i watch the Reply 1994 just now meanwhile i already knew it when the first time it was being published. But still gladly i did.

I recently watched this drama because of my housemate told me this is the good one. well, one of the good one. Actually, i already watched it before she told me, on the website in the late night, but because of maybe i was too sleepy so i felt i dislike this drama. There were a lot of good korea drama i watched before, but why finally i put this drama as my subject to write because of it reminds me of "Anak Kost" which is i feel the same way and at whole drama, i was like "whoa, that's so true." "hahah she looks like me." "yeah, i also have that kind of friend in my rent-house." and many others.

 

I am going to talk a little bit of my experiences during my short trip to Bintan Island, Kepulauan Riau. Well, Indonesia, which is country that i lived for several years right now has so many beautiful destinations to go, especially its natures. My native place, Batam is a lil bit close to Bintan island in about 1 hour thru ferry to Tg.Pinang and 1 hour with road transportation. The nearest harbor to reach Tg. Pinang is Telaga Punggur harbor, but sadly to be told, i didn't like all the harbor in Batam, because they're such a mess and most of them are still under renovation. The only pretty good one is Harbourbay for domestic and international departures and arrivals. Even, Batam Centre harbor not too effective because of so many tourists and its place couldn't handle a lot of 'em and so crowded.

Sorry i've been busy and not in the mood to write something good nor useful in my blog but today finally i will! he he he. So, just like the topic i mention above, i'll write about a movie's review through my perspective and this movie gonna be.... Flipped!

So, just like the title of the movie, flipped which is mean turn over something really quick. The movie tell us about  a girl named Julianna Baker or called July who had a crush on Bryce Loski, a boy who currently moved in town and became her neighbor. She had a crush with Bryce since she was 6 years old (well, i guess because they were so little that time) until they were in elementary school at 6th grades. But, unfortunately, Bryce didn't like her because he thought she frighten himself by always stalking him.

The fact is i am in love with korea dramas a long time ago so i have watched it in every kinds of genres and if they are all identically with the cheesy love story but actually some of them has the line story that are going to blow up your mind to understood. I like all of the genres of drama except horrors. I could finished the whole episodes of drama only within' one day just if it offers a good line story. And i'll mention some dramas that will blow up your mind but i guess the rest of them are in Action, Criminals, Laws, and Politics. 

1. City Hunter (2011)

I watched this drama two times and never disappointed me. I like the way Lee Min Ho played as a city hunter and revealed all the corrupt government in the past few years. It came when his father and friends got betrayed by the chief team when he sent all the soldiers to North Korea. So, He took a revenge for his father when actually his biological father was......(bip). It contains action, politics, and love. I won't being a spoiler so you should watch it by yourself. Watch it here.

2. Gap Dong (2014)

Gap Dong is a drama that tells about a story 20 years ago. A father from Moo Yeom was being accused as a chain murderer "Gap Dong" and after being tortured in a cruel investigated, finally he committed suicide. In the future, Moo Yeom is an detective whom has a job to arrest the gap dong, but the gap dong were gone ever since and the case were going to be closed. Moo Yeom thoughts gap dong already dead and he was no longer investigate about the case. But all of sudden, there comes up a new clues that tells gap dong is still alive and he promised to arrest gap dong by himself. When i watched it, the drama really made me confused and it was unpredictable. But all of the victims of murder has no censor in the drama so it will be a little bit nasty if you do not like blood, bad scars, etc. Watch it here.

We all know that love needs sacrifice and proofs, and i think people deserve it though. Love is not something cheesy or nasty if we really appreciate it. Love is not always about having a boyfriend or girlfriend, but it includes the family, best friend, friends. I purposely put this topic just because some people tend to believe that love should be expressed by words and acts. But actually there are so many ways to expressed how to spread the love to the loved one. 

So, Here are 5 Love Languages you need to know to pleasure someone you love. Hope it helps though! 

Bagi saya dalam suatu hubungan itu tidak harus selalu bersama setiap saat (ya, walaupun kalau bisa memilih lebih baik tetep bersama-sama ketimbang berjauhan) akan tetapi untuk saat ini, berpacaran jarak jauh tidak menjadi suatu masalah bagi saya dan pasangan saya. 

Sebelumnya saya tidak pernah menulis pengalaman saya menjalankan LDR ya karena memang masih sebentar dan buat apa sih di ceritain segala. They don't even know how messed up we were until how we are now dan bagi yang tidak suka, all what they do just being a blind fools judges. delapan bulan deket dan merupakan waktu yang tidak singkat sih bagi saya untuk mengenal dan saling sayang meskipun tidak menyandang status pacaran. buat apa sih status? dulu sih mikirnya gitu. tapi lama kelamaan saya berubah pikiran. kenapa sih butuh status? kalau sama-sama suka yaudah jalanin aja, ga mesti harus di labelin segala.

Tapi, menurut saya, status itu bisa di jadikan defense bagi para perempuan loh, misalnya ketika ada yang ngedeketin pasangan kamu, pasti bakal mikir dua kali karena ya emang udah ada yang punya, masa sih mau ngeganggu hubungan orang lain? dan ketika si perempuan nge behave sebagai pacarnya, misalnya gasuka ada yang keganjenan, ya pokoknya do things what girlfriends do as long as masih dalam batas yang wajar, orang-orang juga ga akan nyinyirin "lah, sokap lo?" Jadi, berawal dari situ sih menurut saya status itu penting. Apalagi pacar saya yang sekarang tipe anak yang super friendly sekali dan jangan harap dijadiin prioritas kalau gak ada ikatan apa-apa and i'm not the kind of girl who's going  to waste my time hanging tapi perempuan cuma bisa nunggu and if you don't want to, go ahead make a decision whether you stay or leave.

To those food seekers and instagram-able places haunters, as i had spent my new life in Yogyakarta and the most well-known destination was its cheap foods but you already got the taste of masterpiece, here you go! I will recommend some places that i have visited obviously and i'll go with the price lists also and the menus up there. 

In the past 1 month, i visited 2 cafes all at once in one day to accompanied my friend to do her TA of promoting new cafes. So we decided to do a field survey at Kunena Eatery restaurant and Gorich Cafe. And I had a random thought of making an article about the recommendations of culinary places in Yogyakarta, since they are still fresh!

So here we go!

1. Kunena Eatery Restaurant.

Haven't seen you in a while like for 3 months and finally we did it, and it was such a good relief. 

In despite of thought we'll meet in May of your birthday in Yogya, well it was faster than we planned, but I was happy to finally touched your skin in real, to hear your voice through the air, again.

Now i know, I love you a little too much. 

I never planned that i had to saw you in such a not good condition. When we get used to had fun whenever we met, but that day was different. 

Like i promised, we will through all the bliss and even the hurricane too, together. 

My flight last weekend just because, it really hurts me to see you in fear and pain. And at least my presence would  gave you the warmth, as you deserve. 

"So lucky to have you here." You said and i smiled and feel touched.

I couldn't promise the 24/7 in your daily life, but when you really need me, i'll be there.

Accompanied you packed the belongings, going places here and there, got your hair shaved because you already met me, killin' the time till the day was about to an end.

Even though we had a little fight and i forgive you then. Keeps your words so.

I saw your lil' kid inside the photo album. And now i know, you has grown up so good&strong. And I thought you played at movie was a joke because i never took it seriously until you gave me all of your dvds. I watched it already and it made me laugh because you were so fluffy and sucks.

The feeling of awkward after you introduced me to your whole big family, how they thanked me for accompanied you thru the day, still made me blossoms.

"Try this one." You asked and i nodded.

"This jacket was over-sized." I said.

"Mom used to wear it a lot, then you should wear it too." I nodded again.

Well, He didn't give me expensive things, but all of those stuffs are special to him, and he trust me to keep it.

"Anothers just a stopover, but you are home to me." You said.
& I started to believe in you one more time.

I didn't give any crap about the girl whom sent him flirting message, or even they both did.

Because we both always know,

Where our hearts belong to and,

I am the best.

Thru this opportunity, i would like to share a " Do It Yourself " about home remedy from natural ingredients for acne. But, the type of acne i mention isn't the kind of 'serious conditions' which, it doesn't need medical treatment because you can make your own cure at home.

We can use the ingredients from the picture above. I edited them and made it as one in frame so you guys will know easier what kind of things you needed.

Kata siapa saya pengecut? Cuma karena saya lebih suka mencurahkan hati dan segenap pikiran pada kata-kata dan bukan manusia, itu namanya pengecut? Kamu yakin?

Saya yakin, pada dasarnya semua orang boleh berpendapat. Sebab jika berpendapat itu sudah dilarang, saya pasti sudah mengikir dinding penjara karena tak sudi berhenti bercerita. Lagipula, kata Bunda saya, orang zaman sekarang mana bisa dipercaya?

Terakhir kali saya percayakan hati saya saja, orang itu entah kemana. Katanya sih sibuk belajar. Saya lantas tanya; belajar apa sih, sayang? Matematika? Itu kan mudah. Saya bisa kok, cuma saya lebih mahir saja belajar mencintai kamu.

Orang bilang saya pengecut karena tidak memperjuangkan apa yang seharusnya saja kejar.  Cinta. Buat apa? Saya lari-lari mengejarnya di dalam pikiran saya saja sudah lelah, sedangkan tidak sehela nafaspun dia sempat mikirin saya. Di hati saya sudah gaduh jika beberapa pesan saya tidak ia gubris. Saya sih tidak sempat marah, soalnya mencintai dia saja sudah menguras tenaga; mana bisa lagi?

Omong-omong, pengecut itu kalau tidak punya nyali dan beraninya hanya mengambil milik orang lain tanpa izin. Masa’ saya yang baik ini dibilang pengecut? Memangnya alpa apa yang saya perbuat? Duh sayang, saya rasa kamu berlebihan. Mana bisa menyayangi kamu tanpa meminta balasan seujung kuku pun itu namanya dosa?

Pengecut; pengecut. Saya rela dijuluki pengecut karena saya hanya bisa mengharap segala yang baik dari sela-sela jemari buat kamu. Tanpa henti, walaupun kamu tidak tahu. Sebab jika kamu bahagia, saya pun akan juga. Maka, baik-baik ya disana. Semoga doa seorang pengecut ini didengar Tuhan. Sampai jumpa lagi di perbatasan takdir.

Everybody needs inspirations, motivations, and intelligence. And we as a woman have to stay strong standing on our own feet without anyone to lay on or to depends on. Be with people whom influence you the good and positive vibes and also get out from the comfort zone. 

I know, we can't deny the insecurities nor the feeling of being unwanted, but you have to believe in youself that you are unique. No one else could ever be compared to you. 

No one could ever offer things like you do. 

No one could imitate you. 

No one could ever offer the same beauty as you do. 

No one could ever offer the same warmth as you do. 

No one could ever offer the comfort as you do.

I ever made a promise that i'll post something about "how to lose weight" aka "dieting". And here we go! Everyone obviously desire a well perfect shaped body, but some people were born to be lucky and the others were born to be a fighter. So which one of you? 

To be honest, i am the 2nd choices and after the long struggle 2years ago, i am in love with the new me because no result will ever betrayed the efforts. Beside commited a healthy diet by took care of eating system, i did some exercise too. 

The theme that i'm going to put here is travelling. And for make it more specific i will take Singapore as my object. It is so near with my hometown Batam, Indonesia. A small country that we could visit only within 1hour from Batam and we only need to pay about almost 40 SG$ (Rp 400.000) for 2 ways. (well, let's count 1$ is about Rp. 10.000 because Rp. 9 thousand point whatever it takes, a little bit complicated). 

There are places you must visit if you come to Singapore. It will offers you good panoramas and also a super cleanest country as it best. I will describe some of each places that i have visited here and i am going to mention the prices it takes (as i remember). 

The first time i saw the cover i was like "wow, i should buy this book or i'll regret it sooner". I really like the way Sherry Argov wrote all the materials inside the book and also it will change your perspective about relationship soon. I am not a relationship expert or whatever, but through this book i knew a little bit more and increase the knowledge of being in mature relationship. 

Semester pertama bagi mahasiswa baru, it feels so fascinating and different. Segala sistem yang berbeda dari dunia Sekolah Menengah Atas start from the teaching and learning systems, scoring, attendance and friends. Menurut saya, semua nya itu serba mandiri. semester pertama belum ada apa-apa nya dibanding dengan semester selanjutnya. jadi, kalau yang mau ipk nya tinggi usahain di semester awal-awal gitu deh. 

Berbagai tipe dosen akan ditemui disini. mulai dari dosen yang baik banget, nyebelin dan dosen yang gak di duga-duga. dosen yang baik banget itu sejenis yang kalau ngajarin super enak dan ngasih nilai pun juga ntap abis. yang nyebelin biasa nya yang ngasih nilai pelit dan ngajar ga enak pula. dan dosen yang unpredictable like they teach and looks so innocent but ketika ngasih nilai so horrible and then dosen yang looks so killer tapi ngasih nilai t-o-p b-g-t.
