366 Days

Who writes their new year's resolution two weeks after the new year day ended? haha I did!
Somehow I already got this list of things on my head since last year but too lazy to write it down.

I'm writing down the list below. It may not be too specific, because if it was, it's gonna be a 5000 words essay- believe me, I can do that :p

Here you go:
1. Be Happy
To be a more positive person - because happiness is accepting what you have right now and not to comparing on what other people have. You don't know how does it feel to be in other's people shoes anyway.

2. A better time management
Whether it's with families or friends- trying to have a better quality time. As for myself, having to chose a wiser activities, instead of browsing on the internet (read as: less social media addiction)

3. Eating right
Hate to admit that this body needs a better nutrition and more workouts.

4. To love myself more
Self respect dude! :D

5. Be open to new opportunities.
Okay there are no explanation for this part. It stated very clear I guess. :p

So there you go! This 2016 is going to be more than great for us I believe. I also write daily about things that made me grateful each day. So by the end of this year, I'm gonna have at least 366 things to be thankful for. Hope that I'm not sounded to excited in this post. haha.

Wishing you a wonderful 366 days this year!

Book Selection

It has been more than 6 months since I read the book: Selection by Kiera Cass. I bought it for Lebaran holiday and it turns out that lebaran holiday isn't long enough to me to finish one book. (read: lazy me)

327 pages and 24 weeks later

So I'm pushing myself to finish reading this book on the year end holiday and now I am proud to say that I've finished reading this book. (it's not a smtg to be proud of actually haha) Well, it shouldn't be that hard to finish this book because it's has a 'light' theme. Teenage love story with a princess-to-be dreams (Guweh banget - like say, fifteen years ago). Will I read the second and third novel? Hmm.. I think I'm gonna skip those novels.

Maybe someday they will make a movie based on this novel series like Twilight or 50 Shades of Grey. I'm trying to hold my tongue (or keyboard in this case) about those novel adapted movies. I'm afraid something very mean will come out *wink.

Just like Twilight series, no matter how awful the movies are (I'm a fan but it is really awful haha), there's a guilty pleasure for you to watch all the movies. In fact, today I just heard on a radio, a song from Twilight soundtrack played that somehow reminded me about the scenes on Twilight movies. It think that it will happen the same way for this book -if they were ever made a movie about it.

As for me, I think I'm gonna need a better book selection to read this year too :)

Oh anyway this is the song from the Twilight movie that I heard earlier. It was a pretty song that will make you swoon every time you hear it. This one should be on your wedding playlist. Cheers!

The 'Hit Pan'

For anyone whose not familiar with the hit pan term, here is the definition:
Hitting pan is a term used with make-up. It happens when product starts to run out and you can see the bottom of the container. Applies to shadows, blushes, and powders.

So clearly you gotta really love this product and use is many times in your life and you just can't imagine that there's another product that can replace the memories you had with it. HAHA
I started to learn to use make up when I had my first job. It was an eyeliner introduced by my colleague. And then learning to use the proper make up continues til today.

For anyone who is keen on make up. They must have heard about Urban Decay Naked Palette. It says to be the holy grail for every make up artist and to be on every make up junkie wish list. I don't think that the review about the palette is overrated. I tried several brands of eyeshadow and so far it is the best color and most wearable that I had. Therefore I present you the 'Hit Pan' of my Naked Palette - well, it's only on the highlighter color only.
Ta-da!

It's been four years since I bought this palette and I think two years is the shelf life of an eye shadow. But this one I think I'm gonna keep till all of the colors hitting pan - hopefully not any damage will happen to my skin HAHAHA. Just kidding. There will be times when I would have to say goodbye to it (and buy a new one :p). A good make up is a good investment anyway!
