Hi Blog!

How are you? A few years have passed since my last post, haha. I apologize for not writing as often as I planned to or as I ever wanted to.

Life happened and time has passed. Was my last post in 2019? or was it 2018? If so, sorry for not checking in for such a longggggg time.

Let's flashback.

I write this to my future me, too, to remember that in 2020, there was a strange thing happening in the world called the COVID-19 pandemic. I forgot when exactly the restrictions were lifted. Is it the end of 2021 or earlier in 2022? But you know, there was a time when the world went quiet for almost two years. People around the world went to sleep earlier every night. We can't see each other often. Schools and public places were closed. We were locked inside our own bubble. We wear a mask every time; in fear of being caught showing flu-like symptoms. Strange, but it's happened - for almost two years round.

I personally think I have no updates during that time in my life. I saw my life just flashing before my eyes, I mean, time was never passed this fast for me personally. And in no time, it is 2024 and I just had my 29th birthday a few months ago.

Strange how life can be. Honestly, I never thought I was a 29-year-old lady by now. Haha.

I mean, a lot has happened in this five to six-year span for me, but at the same time, it seems that not much has happened, too, if that makes sense. Yesterday I met my cousin's son, who was born in the year 2020, to whom whole life means the sum of everything I just told you. The life he knew must be just that, but maybe he does not even have the consciousness to understand how chaotically and eerily quiet time was during that time. Crazy how life works: it means plain story to somebody but means a lot - if not everything, to somebody else.

We are all in the process of 'something', whatever this 'something' means.

We are playing the story of life, in which we are its character.

Being and becoming. Lost and found.

I have lost a few times during these years too. I found love but learned it was not for me; I learned to take a big step but fall in between; I got what I wanted, but turn out it was not what I wanted in the first place. I took a few wrong turns, but surprisingly it led me to a new story too. I learned to be adaptive, whatever life brings to the table, enjoying every story -unapologetically unbeatable by being so.

I am not the kind of people who always have a bright perspective in life, but looking back, especially when I write this (read: unexpected reflective time), I think it is essential to put yourself in the right perspective (i.e do not see yourself as a victim of a situation, but rather see yourself as the adventurous self who take every story as an adventure worth trying) and always keep the good energy no matter what happened. Keep kicking ass, they said, and it miraculously works. Life keeps going and you become much stronger than you were before.

In this journey, 'becoming' is something we always think about in this life. 'Becoming' is tied to something we desire, someone we want ourselves to be -someone far away. I do think about that a lot; thinking the grass on the other side might always be greener. Thinking if my happiness may be laid somewhere else but here, today. But as much as I contemplate about that, I always go back to this: I think happiness is created. Happiness is not a unicorn in the hidden forest waiting to be found. It's not that mythical. Maybe, just maybe, happiness is the horse waiting to be dressed up with a made-up horn and with made-up wings; waiting to be claimed as the mythical unicorn. Anyway, does that make sense? Haha. What I am trying to say is, what if happiness is already here, at this time, ready to be celebrated instead of to be waited and to be found somewhere else. Look around you; celebrate your life, treasure your close one, amplify the joy you already have, and claim your happiness.

Maybe you already have the soup, just add the spice to make it more yummy.

Maybe.. 'being' and 'becoming' is not a foe, but an ally. We need to walk them together, hand in hand.

I was thinking that the future me was far away: I wanted to be comfortable with my body, I wanted to be comfortable with my life, I wanted a serious relationship blah, blah, blah; but becoming that lady I've always wanted will always start by what I choose to do today and create a habit around it. There is a line that connects me today and me tomorrow, I just need to look closely. Like I said before, maybe 'being' and 'becoming' is an ally, not a foe.

Anyway, enough with my blunder rants, haha. Let's talk about you: how about life on your side? Do you have some thoughts you want to share with me? I would like to hear your story and thoughts too :)

To end this blog post, I've put this picture to make us remember to always make a unicorn out of a horse we keep in our backyard; in other words, let's create our own happiness with what we already have!

Cheers to life!

Hello guys, long time no see.

Kata-kata 'long time no see' mungkin sudah basi banget, nih, kalau saya ulang lagi mengingat beberapa post terakhir saya juga saya mulai dengan kata-kata 'long time no see'. But, ya, lama banget memang saya sudah tidak menulis lagi. Blog ini juga jadi sepi luar biasa, tidak ada cerita, tidak ada post baru. Benar-benar tertinggal dan kosong selama berbulan-bulan lamanya.

The truth is, belakangan saya sedang sibuk-sibuknya being happy. :) Yes, I'm too consumed of being happy and I am happy now. :)

Bukan berarti sebelumnya saya tidak pernah happy, ya. I am always happy, namun sekarang saya mengenal arti bahagia dari sisi yang sedikit berbeda dari biasanya.

Sejak awal tahun ini, saya berencana untuk living my best life. Saya berniat untuk open terhadap segala opportunity, open terhadap segala pengalaman-pengalaman baru dan open terhadap hal-hal baru. Tidak jelas apa motivasi saya sebelumnya, mendadak saja saya ingin hidup sehidup-hidupnya.

Sebagai seorang idealis dan introvert garis keras, tidak mudah bagi saya untuk membuka diri pada banyak hal baru. It's overwhelmed me at some point. Dulu belanja sendirian saja sudah bikin saya grogi bukan main. Saya tidak biasa pada perubahan mendadak. Saya tidak terbiasa menghadapi beberapa situasi sendirian. Saya juga tidak terbiasa pada konsep hidup coba ini dan coba itu tanpa perencanaan yang tersusun rapi (yang seringkali karena terlalu lama mengatur rencana, malah ujung-ujungnya tidak jadi. haha!). Namun sejak awal tahun ini saya membuat semacam perjanjian pada diri saya untuk mencoba banyak hal baru. Explore, explore, explore.. batin saya pada diri sendiri.

So I do.

Bahkan sebelum tahun ini benar-benar berakhir, saya sudah berani menobatkan bahwa tahun ini adalah tahun terbaik saya. ;)

Awal tahun saya awali dengan pengalaman yang sedikit ekstrim. Saya mencoba wahana swing di atas tebing yang memacu adrenaline! Untuk orang yang tidak suka coba-coba macam saya ini, meskipun swing begitu seharusnya terlihat relaxing, tapi buat saya itu adalah pengalaman yang menegangkan! Tidak satupun hasil foto saya terlihat rileks! But after all, pengalaman itu jadi semacam milestone saya buat tahun ini. Terbukti setelahnya, saya tidak pernah merasa menjadi orang yang sama lagi.

Asli tegang banget ini. Kerasa banget gak, sih, tense-nya? haha.

Memang betul kata pepatah, kamu bisa berubah ketika kamu memutuskan untuk mengubah cara pandangmu dan cara berpikirmu. I feel it myself. Once I choose to be more open to a new things, I become a new person to. I have so many new things that I have experienced this year. Beberapa diantaranya mungkin tidak pernah terbayangkan oleh saya satu tahun sebelumnya, seperti misalnya nonton bioskop sendiri (And yes, tahun ini saya sudah memberikan tanda centang untuk bucket list saya yang satu itu! Rasanya tidak sengenes yang kalian bayangkan, kok. Trust me.). :)

Saya juga tidak tau kalau saya begitu jatuh cinta pada pantai sampai setelah saya mengiyakan ajakan teman saya untuk mantai bareng di beberapa pantai yang belum pernah saya kunjungi sebelumnya.

Sebenarnya waktu kecil dulu saya sering mantai bareng sama orang tua dan adik saya, tapi begitu beranjak dewasa, karena kesibukan, saya lebih suka menghabiskan akhir pekan hanya dengan tidur di rumah saja. Hal itu membuat kegiatan mantai sempat menjadi sesuatu yang begitu spesial, hampir-hampir sakral buat saya sangking jarangnya pergi mantai. Orang mungkin berpikir, but, hey, you live in Bali. Yes, I know tapi magernya itu loh gak bisa dikalahin. Haha!

Sampai ketika saya memutuskan untuk mengalahkan rasa mager dengan perasaan open minded, saya baru menyadari bahwa pantai-pantai di Bali memang benar-benar indah dan masih benar-benar cantik. Saya sempat malu karena baru mengakuinya sekarang. Saya malu sama bule-bule yang seliweran di sekitar saya. Saya malu sama mereka karena sebagai warga lokal, sepertinya saya tau jauh lebih sedikit dari mereka tentang tanah kelahiran saya sendiri.

'Kemana aja lu selama ini?', begitu pikir saya dalam hati. But really, sekarang saya jadi menyadari bahwa saya benar-benar hanya tau sedikit tentang sekitar saya dan tentang dunia. Mungkin itu alasan saya dulu sering grumpy, karena saya hanya tau sedikit hal dan kebanyakan dari mereka hanya menimbulkan kepenatan buat saya. Saya hanya tau rutinitas kerja-kampus-rumah selama beberapa waktu. Saya enggan open up karena mager. Padahal kalau mau open up dari dulu, sebenarnya banyak alasan untuk bisa jadi happy, sesederhana pergi dan berjemur di pantai.

Pantas saja orang harus liburan sesekali untuk stay sane. LOL.

Menakjubkan buat saya ketika menyadari setelah mencoba banyak hal baru ini, tidak hanya pengalaman baru yang saya dapatkan tapi juga cara pandang yang baru terhadap dunia. Meskipun terkadang ketika pulang kerja, badan capek, kita jadi mudah menyalahkan keadaan dan memandang dunia tak ubahnya bagai neraka, seakan-akan hidup ini tidak adil dan hal negatif lainnya tetapi kalau kita mau saja berhenti sejenak dan melihat sekitar kita, hey, life is not that bad!

We have air to breath in, we have water that's still run, we have time, we have this body. Kita memiliki apa yang kita butuhkan untuk hidup and we should be grateful for that. Appreciate that! Plus, bagusnya lagi, ketika kita bersyukur dan bisa mengapresiasi apa yang kita miliki, mendadak dunia terlihat begitu indah. Mendadak kita merasa utuh, content, and it's great!

Pada akhirnya, saya sampai di satu titik dimana saya juga menyadari bahwa dunia ini penuh dengan banyak hal menarik. Satu-satunya alasan mengapa kita tidak bisa melihat 'hal-hal menarik' itu adalah karena kita tidak pernah mencoba untuk membuka diri terhadapnya. Ketika kita memilih untuk membuka pintu rumah kita, pasti ada saja tamu yang datang pada rumah kita. Percaya, deh, the moment we let the magic happens, it will be happen!

I am not a pro explorer yet (Saya bukan Dora!), tapi percaya, deh, pengalaman-pengalaman kecil yang saya lalui ini sudah cukup berhasil mengubah saya menjadi orang dengan cara yang pandang baru and I am happy with that. Kalau pengalaman kecil begini sudah bisa mengubah seseorang, bayangkan saja apa yang bisa diubah oleh pengalaman besar macam berenang dengan paus di laut lepas yang dilakukan oleh para explorer! (Itu hanya analogi, saya tidak benar-benar tertarik dengan konsep mencari pengalaman dengan cara-cara ekstrim, kok. LOL.)

So, life is good. Appreciate it with gratefulness and let the magic happens within you. Spread love!

Rasanya tidak berlebihan kalau saya bilang kepercayaan diri merupakan makeup terbaik. Bila kita percaya diri, kecantikan ikut terpancar dari dalam diri kita. Kepercayaan diri memancar melalui matamu, jadi tidak salah kalau orang bijak bilang mata mencerminkan jiwamu. Dengan percaya diri, we become fearless, yet irresistible and charming, and it shows from our eyes.

Saya seringkali bertanya dalam hati bagaimana seseorang bisa tampil mempesona. Seperti model-model dalam cover majalah itu. Seperti tokoh-tokoh yang dikagumi. Atau mungkin orang-orang terdekat kita. Beberapa dari mereka bahkan tidak tersenyum dalam foto-foto mereka tapi mereka tetap bisa tampil 'sempurna', jadi mungkin senyum bukanlah jawaban utamanya. Setelah cukup lama mempertanyakannya, akhirnya saya tau jawabannya: itu karena mereka percaya diri and it shows from their eyes.

Dan ketika kamu percaya diri, senyummu -dan semua hal yang kamu lakukan- akan selalu diingat sampai kapanpun.

Tapi bukan hal mudah untuk menjadi percaya diri. Saya tau, saya sendiri merasakannya. Namun saya sadar satu hal: tak peduli bagaimana bentuk tubuhmu, bagaimana cantikmu, bagaimana pintarmu, bagaimana sempurnanya dirimu, namun bila kamu tidak percaya diri, dunia tidak akan pernah tau. Jadi percaya dirilah dan berbanggalah terhadap dirimu apa adanya. Percaya dirilah, tak peduli bagaimana bentuk tubuhmu, bagaimana cantikmu, dan bagaimana adanya dirimu. Love yourself first because if you do, confidence shows within you.

"Know
My only goal is to see
When I'm only fast asleep
It takes more than strength to find
This peace of mind"

Lagu ini memang lagu yang sudah cukup lama, rilisnya sekitar tahun 2012. Band Two Door Cinema Club sendiri jadi salah satu band yang hits di kalangan teman-teman SMA saya waktu itu. Lagu 'What You Know' jadi lagu yang bikin saya kenal band TDCC, dan jadi lagu yang saya suka juga. Tapi ada satu lagu mereka yang begitu mengena di hati saya belakangan ini: 'Sleep Alone'.

Jujur, dulu saya tidak begitu suka lagu ini. Dibandingkan lagu 'Sleep Alone', waktu itu saya lebih suka mendengarkan lagu hits mereka 'What You Know'. Tapi sekarang, setelah saya mengerti artinya, 'Sleep Alone' jadi favorit saya.

"And I may go
To places I have never been to
Just to find
The deepest desires in my mind"

Lagu ini penuh kegalauan, menurut saya. Lirik lagunya membuat saya berpikir dan merasakan jauh ke dalam diri. Ikut bertanya-tanya, seperti lirik lagunya; soal kebingungan terhadap keinginan diri sendiri; tentang mencari ketenangan jiwa; tentang jiwa kecil yang berusaha untuk tegar di tengah keraguannya pada dunia dan dirinya sendiri; about a lonely soul who needs a companion; tentang keinginannya untuk pergi jauh untuk mencari sesuatu yang ternyata selama ini tersembunyi di dalam diri; juga tentang kebutuhan terhadap pembuktian, validasi.. pengakuan tentang kemampuan diri sendiri. Banyak yang saya tangkap dari liriknya dan saya mengerti bahwa ternyata arti dari lagu ini dalam sekali.

"Oh hold, hold, hold
Hold me close
I've never been this far from home
Hold, hold, hold me close"

Sampai pada titik ini saya menyadari satu hal kalau manusia itu sama. Kita mencoba mencari jati diri, esensi dan keinginan dalam diri. Kita semua mencoba mencari tau hal yang sebenarnya jauh dalam diri kita sudah ketahui. Kita bertanya-tanya dalam diri, menimbulkan kebisingan di dalam otak kita sendiri, lalu mencoba untuk mencari ketenangan, berharap semuanya menjadi jelas dengan hanya sekejap mata. Hanya saja itu begitu mustahil. Lalu kita lelah, mencari dan mencari bahkan kita rela pergi jauh meninggalkan rumah untuk pergi ke belahan dunia yang lain; menjadi ketakutan, sendirian, curiga, ragu, bingung, dan tidak percaya diri, hanya untuk mencari keinginan dan kepuasan batin yang ternyata selama ini ada di dalam diri kita sendiri. And it's real, it takes more than strength to find a peace of mind.

We go far far away just to know that we already have it, but somewhere inside you that you, yourself, may hardly know. Kita semua mencari 'sesuatu' yang bahkan kita sendiri tidak pernah bisa jabarkan bagaimana wujudnya. What is 'it' itself? It's hard to believe that we, maybe, will never really know and figure it out. Lalu saya ingin bertanya, kalau memang hal yang kita sebut 'sesuatu' itu ada di dalam diri kita sendiri, mengapa kita harus repot-repot mencarinya jauh-jauh? Kalau memang hal itu ada dalam diri kita, mengapa sulit sekali merasakannya? Mengapa sulit sekali menyadarinya? Kalau hal ini memang ada dalam diri kita, mengapa kita harus repot-repot meminta dan memohon validasi dan pengakuan dari orang lain hanya untuk merasa pantas?

"And I don't know
If in the morning I will be here
And if so
Let it be known
That I was worthy
I was worthy
I was worthy
I was"

Yes. We need that validation, but why? I mean, if we already have 'it', is that means that we already have that approval for our self? Then why do we need someone to approve it? Still, I don't know.

Lagu ini membuat saya berpikir ulang, terjebak dalam pikiran dan perasaan saya sendiri. Mambuat saya merasa empati pada tokoh dalam lagu ini, dan saya benar-benar merasakan kegalauan hatinya, kebingungannya, dan ketakutannya, juga harapannya untuk dipahami dan kebutuhannya yang mendalam bahwa ia ingin mendengar dari orang lain bahwa ia pantas, that he is worthy, like he may find peace after hearing that. Like he may find the answer that he's been seeking for a long long time.

Lagu ini begitu dekat dengan emosi kita sebagai manusia, and that's why I love this song so much because I can feels it, that deep. Really, this song is amazing!

To Two Door Cinema Club, you are really brilliant!

Here is the thing that I think I do feel as a twenty something:

1. As you are grown up you learn how to find yourself. You try so hard to find everything that will help you to find your true self. But at 20 years old, you don't do it too much.Without realize it, you started to accept yourself the way it is.

2. Because you accepted yourself, it also makes you know yourself better.

3. You will be more wiser than before.

4. You will appreciate every single time you spend because you know you can't turn back time. Time is precious.

5. Even it still a little bit blur, somehow you started to know your purpose in this life. It also means you know exactly what you want and what you need.

6. You enjoy every little things.

7. You started being a little more realistic.

8. Health issue is the new black.

9. You tried to become more efficient, because you try not to sweat a small thing.

10. You learn that 'happiness means everything'.

11. You try to keep your life balance.

12. Instead of being focused to the future, now you tried to be present.

13. Being independent. Sometimes you don't mind to going alone by yourself.

14. You try to being honest to yourself. You try to being yourself and don't need to force yourself to like something you don't like just because your friend like it.

15. You try to finding your style.

16. You still faced a different problem and new things to learn. Life is still unexpected journey even when you don't have enough preparation for that or maybe when you don't plan to get that at all.

17. Sometimes, being 20 is quite stressful. You dreaming a lot about the future, but you have something that you must have done. You wishing a lot but life give you another things to learn. Everything seems going far from your plan, but it's okay, at least you learn about something.

18. Every experience you take shapes your mind, your perspective -yourself.

19. At some point, you realize that you are not a child anymore and become a young adult, and it sometimes scares you out.

20. You are curious about so many new things and want to try it; such as food, languages, perfume, etc. You also curious about new place and new culture. You find yourself started to dreaming about traveling.

Some people says that twenties is your selfish years because you want to improve yourself by try everything you want. It's okay. Enjoy your ride, but never go wrong with it, because you only live once. Live boldly, live with full of happiness and make sure you have no regret in the future.

Still, this is just my opinion. Maybe what you do feel is not quite the same as I do, so if you have some opinion, feel free to comment in comment box bellow :)

.love.

Let's see 'comparing yourself with others' from two different way:

(+) Plus:

1. Dengan membandingkan diri dengan orang lain kita jadi tau apa kekurangan dan kelebihan kita.

2. Kita jadi lebih bersemangat untuk membenahi diri untuk menjadi pribadi yang lebih baik.

3. Lebih menghargai diri sendiri.

(-) Minus:

1. Dengan membandingkan diri dengan orang lain kita jadi rendah diri. Misal, kita merasa kalau A lebih baik dari kita di bidang melukis dan dominan di kelas, kita jadi rendah diri dan percaya kalau kita tidak akan bisa melukis sebaik dia. Kita terlalu fokus pada ketidakmampuan kita, padahal kalau mau melihat lebih ke dalam diri kita, kita mungkin memiliki talenta dan bakat di hal lainnya. Seringkali, kita terlalu sibuk mencari 'keluar' tanpa mencari ke 'dalam' diri lebih dahulu. Got it? :)

2. Lain dengan rendah diri, terkadang terlalu membandingkan diri dengan orang lain justru membuat kita berusaha menjatuhkan orang lain dengan menjelek-jelekkan talentanya hanya untuk membesarkan hati kita kalau kita lebih baik. Biasanya dalam hal ini, jauh di dalam hati kecil kita tau kalau orang itu mungkin lebih berbakat, namun kita enggan mengakuinya karena kita tidak mau kalah darinya.

3. Kita jadi terlalu meng-copy paste kegiatan atau apapun hal yang dilakukan orang yang kita banding-bandingkan dengan diri kita karena kita percaya itulah yang seharusnya kita lakukan agar terlihat lebih baik.

4. If you are too busy comparing yourself (whether your strength or your weakness) with others, somehow you will find yourself lost in your way and at the end, you will give up your happiness.

Sebelumnya saya mau cerita sedikit, saya sempat ikut seminar nasional di kampus Udayana beberapa waktu yang lalu. Waktu itu pembicaranya Deva Mahenra, dan dia bilang begini: 'Bandingkan diri kita sekarang dengan diri kita yang dulu,' dan kata-kata itu terngiang di kepala saya tiap kali saya merasa lost and down.

Lihatlah jauh ke belakang untuk melihat seberapa jauh kita sudah melangkah dari garis start. Lihat sudah berapa banyak pencapaian yang kita raih and be grateful for it. Kalau kita rasa perjalanan kita masih jauh, jangan ragu untuk melangkahkan kaki agar kita bisa mencapai apa yang kita impikan.
Jujur, dengan cara ini, saya jadi lebih sering mensyukuri apa yang saya miliki sekarang, entah itu pengalaman hidup, atau pencapaian-pencapaian yang sejauh ini sudah saya lalui. :)

Kalau ujung-ujungnya kita masih terlalu sering (baca: kelewatan) membandingkan diri dengan orang lain, ingat deh, kita dan mereka tidak mengalami perjalanan hidup yang sama. Kita dan mereka mengalami pengalaman dan pelajaran hidup yang berbeda pula. Sometimes, what works for them, not works for us. Don't force yourself being someone else that don't suit yourself.

Saya tidak bilang kalau 'comparing yourself with others' itu sepenuhnya buruk. Itu semua kembali pada bagaimana cara kita menyikapinya. Kalau membandingkan diri dengan orang lain justru bikin kita lebih semangat membangun diri, I think it's still okay.. :)

Whatever, just be happy with yourself. Be grateful with your life: about the way you think even sometimes you think that you are weird; be grateful for yourself, your parent, your family, your friends, your lover, your pets; your whole and entire life, everything that makes you today. Be thankful even for a small thing, like every breath you take or every minute you spend. You can make a list about everything that you have, be grateful and thankful for it. Believe me, it's makes your soul feel rich and full of joy.. :)

At least, don't forget to be happy. :)

Good night people.. xoxo

I believe that I likes a lot about 60's to 70's era and still don't know why. I was not even born at that time. I am 90's generation, FYI.

I think, back then in 60's to 70's are both produce a lot of good music, a good taste of style, a good movies. Still, I don't know much about that, but I know about The Beatles (My mom listen to some of their song, such as 'Hey Jude', 'Don't Let Me Down', 'I Want To Hold Your Hand', 'And I Love Her' -and 'Hey Jude' is her favorite one so far, which I like the most too.) I love The Beatles.

The Beatles

I also know a little about Audrey Hepburn because I remember ever saw her in my mother's pile of old magazines.

Audrey Hepburn at 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'

And as I ever told before, I do love a movie and also novel titled 'Love Story' by Erich Segal which is published in 1970. And oh, I love so much about the way Jennifer Cavilleri dressed.

this:

this:

or this:

Ali MacGraw as Jenny Cavilleri in Love Story 1970

Oh, I just love this movie and novel so much!

By the way, doesn't it looks perfect? This style is never getting old fashioned. Even now in 2016, I believe this style is still accepted.

I don't know, I see that 60's and 70's style are catching my eyes. I am not a fashion people but I can say that 60's and 70's style is never dies; let's say 'cat eye', or 'bangs' or all the fashion material that Jenny Cavilleri wears above.

bangs and cat eye:

Pattie Boyd

In technology, I dream so much about having this:

and this:

I love those two classic item and dream a lot about having it even since I was too young to notice that those item are both 60's or 70's style.

I also love 80's era, and my favorite icon is absolutely 'Lady Diana'

Princess Diana

Another era that I like is now, in 2010's. I like how minimalism effect lifestyle and makeup and fashion, and how 50's to 2000's era is come back, blend together with modernism and minimalism and make the style is more modern but a bit classic and vintage. Monochrome are also 'in' again. In makeup section, I think in 2010's, neutral and nude make up is the new black, which I love.

Taylor Swift

Kendall Jenner

Gigi Hadid

P.S: Still, I don't know much about fashion for sure, but I love all era that I mention above.

So, which era do you like the most? :)

Jun 26, 2016

which one are you?

I identified myself as introvert one because I do feel like an introvert: I avoid eye contact with other people but strangely try so hard to make eye contact with puppies (I often talks to dog even I am not sure the dog know what am I talking about because they don't talk to me back, but, never mind, I still love them.). I love to have a me time as much as possible. I do love sleeping than going outside to hanging out. I love to being quiet but sometimes you can find me so chatty, especially, when I talking about something that I love or when I surrounded by people that I love.

I take a Buzzfeed quizzes to test what kind of introvert is myself in this link: Only Take This Quiz If You're an Introvert and find out that I am the mild introvert one. It says that mild introvert are tend to be introverted but have extroverted moment here and there. Mild introvert will be awkward in large social gathering but don't mind being in small groups of friend. First, I only takes this quiz for fun but end up believe it, because I think it suits myself.

Oke, before you go so far, and still don't have any idea what introvert or extrovert are, here is some differences between being introvert and extrovert:

1. Introvert is love enjoying me time with them self. Extrovert love enjoying their 'me time' hanging out, or going somewhere with other.

2. Introvert are good listener, and extrovert is a good talker. When introvert try to find some good topic to talk about, extrovert naturally have a bunch of that.

3. Introvert are to shy being the center of attention, but extrovert is love being the center of attention.

4. Introvert often cancelled appointment or plans, extrovert often making appointment. Introvert as I told before is often too shy even just to met their old friend. But extrovert in other hand is too crazy to met their old friend so they often makes appointment first.

5. Introvert is often have a problem socializing with other, and extrovert is the opposite. Introvert find them self struggling with making friend but extrovert is easily makes a new one here and there.

6. Introvert is feels easily drained when they are in social gathering, and to charge their energy, they love to fill it with a quality alone me time. Extrovert love being in social gathering and easily feel bored when they are alone.

But don't be too judgmental about these two different type. Introvert is not the saddest one and extrovert is not always the happiest one. Just because introvert are struggling when making friends, it doesn't mean that they don't have friends at all. Sometimes extrovert is also feels lonely but not because they hate being lonely, they hate to being alone sometimes. Yes, introvert and extrovert is quite different, but remember, they are both born unique :) Whatever you are, just be happy with it.

If you want to find out which type are you, you can take this quiz (that also I takes before). This quiz is from arealme.com. This quiz is not only help you to find out that you are introvert or extrovert, but you will find more deep explanation about your personality. This quiz is called MBTI or Myers–Briggs Type Indicator or 16 Personality Test which is quite accurate. Here is the link: 16 Personality Test

In MBTI test, I got INFP personality. So which one are you? :)
