ON MY WAY TO GETTING THINNER




Goal : Losing 10 kg in 40 days

Requirements :  Running shoes, dumbell and yoga mat

How am I going to do it :
I'm going to force my self to exercise ( hopefully not too much), I will also start to run again, at least in the afternoon, since I obviously can not do morning. I am also installing apps, and start to read on good healthy food ( which reminds me, that I so want that garlic onion chicken wings from Nanny's ).

I am also going to update this post, everyday, so you won't miss my ridiculous journey over it, I'm going to set my blogspot on my phone.

My Expectation :
 Of course to lose 10 kg, in 40 days, so it will be 0,25 kg a day ( I'll Google if  it;s even possible )... yup there is an article, that you in fact can achieve all of that ( with self control, and eat less food, I'm not sure If i will have energy to run tho :( ) here is the link to it.

Inspiration :
Jennifer Lawrence -- so fabulous no? ( I took the pic from Google, it says GQ, so I hope I'm not violating a copyrights contents




What I'm currently doing right now :
 downloading apps, read those diet and wight loss exercise, read those healthy food that are good for you

Today is actually my fourth day doing challenge, when I talk about challenge, I mean challenges, either something physical, like a 30 days planking challenge, or a no sugar on my coffee challenge.

Question : should I weight myself? because I pretty much do this every time I go on dieting, and every time I failed, and  feels so disappointed, and humiliated.

I once read, that you should make a diary of things you do and things you eat, as a reminder, whether you're doing good, or doing shitty :)

So here it goes :

Day 1-4 : 27th - 30th of March 2015
I started the day with 1.5 minutes planking, yup that was hard. I'm not suppose to eat anything at least until it's 12 pm, so I usually don't have breakfast. Again it was hard, having breakfast on my everyday life for almost 3.5 months ( NO, I'm not blaming on my previous work space), I feel like I'm missing something. Any who, I have been downloading and installing some serious apps ( like 30 days ab challenge), on to my phone, so hopefully it's going to be good and motivating.

Day 5 : 31st of March 2015
NOPE !!!! nothing is happening yet, i haven't done all those exercises, let alone those challenges. So freakin frustrating... and, I have no challenge for today. I feel so depressed :(.
Today, I had toast with 2 eggs at 9 am, a sardine with 1 scoop of rice at 11, noodle soup at 3pm, Starbuck Iced Capucino at 4 pm, and Green Tea Frappucino at 5 pm, there goes my will power. So I take it, that I'm going to give today a rest, and starting tomorrow, it should be back ( yes, I'm talking about my so called WILL POWER ). I actually attending my friend's wedding, hhmmmmmmm  worried now, I have nothing to wear. So enough for sitting at starbucks, not only it wasted my money, also my will power, note to self : go to a more healthy place / cafe. -- alright , I'm going to publish it now

Day 6 & 7 : 1st & 2nd of April 2015
Yesterday was my bf wedding, tho I ate lunch at Mie Ayam Jakarta, I did eat dinner at her wedding party, her mom made this awesome dishes, chicken satai, potato with quill egg, hhhmm, so freakin yum, and I proudly say that I ate moderately, I think it's due to the hunger. I ate at 12.30 pm and had dinner at 7 pm.
I'm leaving to Bandung today, I am sad to let you guys know that I bought my self a choclate puff eclair from papabeard ( sooooo good ), in Bandung I can't help my self to buy this tofu and Bala Bala gorengan.



Afterward I went to Braga Citiwalk ( I am still here as i speak ), eating this dessert thing, which cost me some money, and taste so mediocre, then went and have lunch ( teppanyaki sirloin steak ).. yup.. so far I'm doing good ...NOT

Day 8 - 11 : 3rd April - 6th April 2015
I have to admit, that I did spend my days in Tasik, vacationing from everything healthy, I mean damn, I must have gained 3 kgs by then, I ate everything, from noodles to fried foods. I just couldn't help it, if you happen friends with me on my FB, you could see pictures of those foods. They are ridiculously un-healthy but so damn good. Anywho, I went back to Bali 2 days ago, so far, I keep my appetite in check, no more late nights snacks and dinner, i put everything back on perspective, hell, I even do OCD again ( Obsessive Courbuzer'd Diet ), you can Google it, I've been trying to get it right since last year.







Day 12 : 7th April 2015
Bought a new shoes, with a good deal :). And started to run today. Back to week 1 of my C25K aps. Felt good and tire. Lung feels going to explode, ... but Im Cool :)
I also had 1 big lunch today, and drink lots lots lots of water. Been reading some healthy stuff about diet, and hopefully i can continue my run tomorrow .... OF COURSE I CAN ...!!!! Get your butt moving women ..!!!!!
I am also doing my OCD again

Day 13 : 8th April 2015
Had an early morning with mum, use the C25K Apps, and run for the whole 30 Minutes ( well not really, Im going back to week 1 Day 3. Had lunch ( a burger ) at smorgas cafe ( feel so guilty, but I figure I'm not going to get a dinner anyway, a cappucino and ice tea.
Went to starbucks in the afternoon to get some work done and this brand new coffee, just like I had in Vietnam. And guess what, I managed to not eat dinner. I did bought grocery and choose lots of veggies




Day 14 : 9th April 2015
Made this tumis pare, soooo good, also made my first lemon juice with warm water. I weight my self, and I lose 1 KG !!!! wo hoo.... DO NOT FEEL HAPPY FIRST... still have 9 Kgs to go. But Keep going... dont lose track. A friend just text me, he said to continue my Aikido lesson, I think i just might.

Day 15 - 20: 10th April 2015 - 15th of April 2015
So I have been doing my diets, no eating dinner after 5pm, since my OCD warns me not to anyway, and I run periodically, every 2 days, have to tell you tho, I am not as strong as before, OMG i sucks ass ... I feel so freakin sad, BODY ..... please don't fail me yet.
I did see some changes, at some points, my shorts is fit again, doesn't feel it too small anymore, and Ive been eating good food, meaning, I cook, eat little rice, and lots of veggies, overall, Ive ben good :).


Day 16 - 22 : 16th April - 21st April 2015
Run like crazy on friday, and i think kinda hurt my leg, that is why Im not running the next day until start again today ( Tuesday 21st )
I also took a picture of the running track. Come to think of it, I think i have a crush on Jennifer Lawrence, Didn't lose any significant weight, but I notice that my short is not that small anymore... whoooozzzaaahhhh

PLANNING A WEDDING … ( A supposedly my brother’s ) - a very LATE post


My brother told me yesterday that he has found the girl that he like to spend his life with .. after searching and searching and yes … searching, finally he met one, and like the old use to say, that you don’t have to search your soul mate so far away … He found his at our Kampong in Cibungkul ( location see below ..lol).
My mom was so excited ( everything that has got to do with planning a party .. she got excited), so like usual she told me to prepare lists of :

1.      Kebaya – the traditional Javannese gown. ( For our side and the Girl’s side )
I’ve browsed some Kebaya for the families and of course for the bride. What I have in mind is something chic and simple but Faboulous …..
2.      Wedding Invitation
I used to think that wedding invitation were soso or not so important, but you can have fun with it

3.      Wedding Souvenir
My mother have thought about it thoroughly .. its either a hand towel or beauty mirror
4.      Venue & Decoration
The venue is at our place, and it’s a morning till noon party
5.      Wedding Cake
Have to be good
6.      Food
12 side dish and 8 main course ( or prasmanan )
7.      Seserahan ( I don’t know in English – it’s where the groom bring stuffs to the brides )
Consist of clothes, shoes .. etc
8.      Wedding Ring 


@ years after the wedding ....

They have 2 kids, a girl and a boy, and have to tell that their marriage are not easy, lots of adjustment, mis communication and fights, but I believe that they want to stay together because of love and kids.

Lesson Learn : Marriage is not for everybody, but if you decided on it, stick with it at least and try hard to make it work.

CLINIQUE : SUPERFINE LINER FOR BROWS






I am very picky when it comes to eyebrow. Sure I got a nice one J, mine is not too thin, but it the edges is too short, so you have to draw on it.
Currently I am using Clinique Superfine Liner for Brows and NYX eyebrow kits ( I ‘ll make a review about this later ).
In Indonesia, Clinique Superfine Liner for Brows cost IDR 165 K ( roughly around USD 15 ), you could buy it in almost all department store at every malls, since I live in Bali, my favorite ( or since it’s the only place that has the product ) is Discovery Mall.
There are 5 colors for the products, I am using the black brown one, since I have a tan skin ( its Bali … what do you expect ), but I am curious to try another color, like a soft brown one ( since I am obsessed with this make up tutorial by pixiwoo on youtube, and they always introduce me with new possibility of colors ), anyway ….. let the review begin.

Details : Convenient pencil creates perfectly defined, natural-looking brows. Ultra-fine tip fills even the smallest gaps with precise, hair-like strokes. Automatically self-sharpens; glides on without skipping or tugging. Color lasts all day.

Color Options :
Soft Blond, Soft Brown, Black Brown, Deep Brown, Soft Auburn

Ingredients : Not Available

How to Use :
·         Color option to dispense product, hold tip with one hand and rotate stem counterclockwise one full turn per use.
·         Use light, feathery strokes to mimic natural hair, filling in where needed.
·         Remove with your favourite Clinique eye makeup remover.
·         Pencil only swivels up and not down. For best results, twist up liner 7-9 clicks per use.

My Review On The Website :
This is the second one I did a review on Clinique website, and my opinion still stands. The website a is not pretty, I wish they pay someone who really gives a care on the esthetic of the site ( but it just me )
Packaging :
It’s a pencil like product, a small/thin grip, bit comfortable, with swivel tip, so you just have to twist it. Its very mechanical and easy to use, and it looks pretty.

Texture :
Very very soft and so very easy to clean ( if you make mistake), and so full coverage.

How To Apply :
I don’t consider my self as a make up guru or a make up artist, I think the how to apply part would be to your liking. If you have a think eyebrow and go for the 20’s look, then it will be just a thin line, but if you have a brow like me, thick on once side, short, and need to apply a little bit on the edges, then I would recommend that you use it a little bit on the beginning of your brow, and stroke a little and create a little bit arch ( or just go straight ) ----- I don’t even make sense on what I’m talking about, I suggest you watch some tutorial on it, but here is my picture anyway. J







My Review :
I think this eyebrow liner is one of the best, you get your money worth, and I will be for sure using it like …. Forever.

Its 5 / 5

K-DRAMA REVIEW : REPLY 1997 / ANSWER ME 1997







Omo omo omo omo …. I just really really really need to write a review on this one. For people who’s been reading my blog post, they probably know that I’m so into Korean Drama, but due to my work, I always watch them in a hurry ( meaning I fast forward them), so this one particular drama, got me hooked, without having me fast forwarding them, and its called  Replay 1997 or Answer Me 1997.

Here is my review.

The Plot

Reply 1997 (Hangul: 응답하라 1997; RR: Eungdabhara 1997; also known as Answer Me 1997) is a 2012 South Korean television series that centers on the lives of five friends in Busan, as the timeline moves back and forth between their past as 18-year-old high schoolers in 1997 and their present as 33-year-olds at their high school reunion dinner in 2012, where one couple will announce that they're getting married. The coming-of-age drama also examines the extreme fan culture that emerged in the 1990s when first generation idol groups such as H.O.T. and Sechs Kies took center stage andK-pop was just blossoming.[2][3][4]
It originally aired live on cable channel tvN in 16 episodes (14 30-minute episodes aired back-to-back over a period of 7 weeks,[5] with the last 2 episodes aired separately and lasting 1 hour each due to the amount of material the staff didn't want to edit out[6]). But due to its popularity, the 15th and 16th episodes were also aired simultaneously on Mnet, OCN, O'live, Ongamenet and OnStyle. The last episode recorded the highest ratings at the time for a Korean cable drama,[7] and the series has garnered praise from audiences and critics for being well-researched, refreshing, genuine, and full of humor and heart.
Main cast [edit]
·         Jung Eun-ji as Sung Shi-won - She's the ultimate fangirl who lives for boyband H.O.T.. Shi-won is last place in her class and has her head firmly in the clouds (when her exasperated father asks what she's going to be when she grows up, her totally heartfelt answer: "I'm going to be Tony oppa's wife!"), but she's also forthright and sassy.[9][10][11][12]
·         Seo In-guk as Yoon Yoon-jae - The boy next door, first in his class and the quiet, brooding type. Yoon-jae grew up with Shi-won all his life and as teenagers, he falls in love with her.[13][14][15][16][17]
·         Hoya as Kang Joon-hee - Yoon-jae's best friend, who suddenly starts to spend a lot of time with Shi-won. Joon-hee is gentle and sweet, loves to dance, and harbors a secret.[18][19][20][21]
·         Shin So-yul as Mo Yoo-jung - Shi-won's best friend. Yoo-jung is known for falling in love at the drop of a hat. Every day it's someone new, whether idols or real boys.[22][23]
·         Eun Ji-won as Do Hak-chan - The army brat who just transferred from Seoul. He's good at sports and has an enviable porn collection, but his one weakness is actual girls.[24][25][26]
·         Lee Shi-un as Bang Sung-jae - The mile-a-minute talker and one-man rumor mill of the group.[27][28]
·         Sung Dong-il as Sung Dong-il - Shi-won's father and a baseball coach of the Busan Seagulls.
·         Lee Il-hwa as Lee Il-hwa - Shi-won's mother and a housewife.
·         Song Jong-ho as Yoon Tae-woong - A teacher at the high school who turns out to be Yoon-jae's brother.


My Review :
I don’t think it’s a 2013 drama, or let alone new, because when I googled, it aired in 2012, I remembered when it first came out, It just really doesn’t interest me at all. Then I happen to watch on youtube about this OST for the drama, and see the comments from the fan, and lots were saying that it was such a great drama, one of the best, and almost 99% of the people saying them. So it started to grow on me.
For those of you the 90’s kids, this drama is just so perfect. I remember in 1997, it was the last year of my high school, ( mind you that I consider it to be great year), and watching this drama, really brings back the memories. One of the main character, is a HOT die hard fan, well, I remember when I collected ll the Backstreet Boy  albums, and AJ is like a wow for me.
This drama is nicely scripted, with lots of comedy scene, and of course the major spice of a drama must have, a love story. It has twist and unexpected ending ( well not really, but it made you uncertain and guessing), it was nicely built, and the chemistry between the cast is terrific, I am now a fan of Seo In Guk and Eun Ji.
I saw Seo in Guk in Love Rain, not really paid attention to him, but here, he transformed to be this cool guy with his first love. I just cant believe that he was that good. 

This drama has the ingredients, the script, the cast and the story, just perfectly goes well together. Its been so long since Ive watched a good one, and I am so glad that I watched this.
Totally recommended for those of you enjoying a rom com and a good one that is, its great without being too cheesy, and romantic without being over the top.
Perfect cast  perfect everything, my only regret was why did I doubt on it first time.
Rating ;
10/10

CLINIQUE : CHUBBY STICK MOISTURIZING LIP COLOUR BALM




I have been in love with Clinique’s chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm, and was wondering to try it out for ages. Now that I have a chance for it, I bought ( get ready .. ) not only 1, but 10 of them… yes, I am  now officially broke, but I can’t resist the temptation of having them on my make up box.
Chubby Stick Moisturizing Lip Colour Balm offers 16 different colors for you to choose, and yes, they are all great ( at least that’s what I thought). So let’s the review begin.


Details :
Super-nourishing balm is loaded with mango and shea butters. Just what dry, delicate lips need to feel comfortably soft and smooth. Sixteen natural-looking lip tints in all, each with a subtle sheen.

Ingredients :
Been Trying to get one, but the website doesn't provide it. Will look at some brochure later.

My Review on the website :
This one is new J, usually when I try to find a product or been using it, I often go to its website and check what they have in store. Since I’ve been working at a startup, where I spend mostly my time checking out websites, I always feel that some website doing a great job for their products and some don’t. So here it goes…

I know that Clinique has lots range of products, from skin care to perfume, but it mostly do Skin Care ( which reminds me that I am trying their anti - aging product and are thinking to make a review in a month, so at least I will give them a subjective review J ), anyway, the website has lots of going ons, lots of words and not enough picture, and the colour base is white ( but I guess because they want to do the selling from the website, so they do white base ). I wish they have more picture and less words, or at least they have enough introduction for a product, but as I scroll down, they have customer review on the product, which also help you to decide on buying.

I still think that a beauty products need to have a beautiful website, but I guess Clinique is sure about their product they feel they don’t have to have a great website? Hhmmm, not sure if I like that confidence.
Overall review, I gave 2 of 5 for the website.

Packaging :
A chubby stick ( rolling my eyes up), beautifully made, and at the end of it, when your stick has shorten, you can roll it, to make it longer again. The cap and the bottom is silver while the center is the colour of the Chubby Stick you are buying.

Texture :
Soft and creamy, when you apply it on your lips, it un-noticeable, but after a minute or two, the colour start to show, and believe me, its BEAUTIFUL. I bought 10 colour, and have tried them on, even the red one feels good on my lips. Love love love the feel of it. Good job Clinique.

How To Apply :
I don’t think you need to moisturize your lips, because the product moisturize your lips too. Just put it on, and if the colour ( ie red) is too much for you, then smudge it with your fingers and problem solves.

Mix and Match :
Its new for me, because I think that each colour has its own beautiful-ness, but then I try to mix a purple with a red ( been into this Korean style where your lips is red in the middle ), and it didn’t disappoint me.

My Lips Situation :
Soft ( hehehehehhe ), a lil bit dry sometimes, but thank God there is no break out.

My Review :
Love love love the product. I can wear it anytime, specially to work, where I’m practicing work day ( I live and work in Bali where you can wear your most casual dress to work, and since I’m into make up, its not being used for such a period of time, and in order for them not to go waste I’m applying them again now at my work day, you’ll understand when you read my post on Working and Living in Bali  ).

The product moisturize my lips, it makes my lip look softer and kissable ( ok so I over exaggerate it), but it does makes it look like so. Hah., It doesn’t feel sticky and that is important.

My Rate :
10/10

HOT STUFF

FAVORITE STYLE OF THE YEAR : INDONESIAN CIREBON BATIK

Indonesia has lots of cultures, from the variety of foods to its traditional clothes. One of them is The Cirebon Batik.

Like any typical places in Java, Cirebon has its own style in the Batik art. It's mostly got something to do with the drawing or the clouds, or mega. And it's as beautiful as any other Batik in any other places in Indonesia.

And that is why I'm searching for the style of the Cirebon Batik a year ago, the wannabe designer in me always have the urge to once again live up my childhood dream.

And since the fabric is so flowy and thin ( but of course with a good quality), it's good to wear at the tropical weather like here.

So I hope you enjoy looking at some of my design, please go to the FB page. http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/pages/Dnins-House/167428916602432
