Back to Basic

Hello, blog!
Loooooong time no see!
Oh how I miss blogging so much! I can’t belive that I have neglected it for 2 months! Pheew....college’s are getting crazy nowadays, so please pardon my long hiatus.
So, now I’m back! I will start blogging again. Maybe it won’t be as often as on those good old days but at least I’ll try to make this blog alive again.

You know what? My long absence in blogging seriously affect my life. I was an average writer, I mean I’m not too good at it but also not sucks, right? I can be such a bullshit, creative, and critical writer, from the very simple to formal writings. But, now, I feel like my capability is decreasing. Writing is easy, but make a good one is complicated. I think if we want to make a good writings, we should make it as our habit. And...from now on I would like to apply that principle.

Hope that I can keep up my good mood so I can write many posts here. And hope that you guys still attracted to visit and read my blog. I will try to re-brand the concept of my blog, I will make it maturer and more useful for all of us. Wish me luck :)

Happy Burstdaaaaaaay, Me!

Yesterday, August 27 is my daaaay!

I’m very glad knowing that there are so many friends who remember and wish me a bunch of happy birthday! Thank guys, so lucky to have you all :)

This year, I’m not going to celebrate it with any events, because I think, what’s for? I think the birthday is not to be celebrated, but to be evaluated. I’ve lived my live for 19 years and whoaah there are so many mistakes that I’ve done. 19 should mean maturity. And I feel that I’m not into it.

As 19th, I confess that I’m such a spoiled girl. I'm still whinning to my mom, and often act childishly. I hope slowly I can leave that bad attitude, amiin :)

Yesterday, my mom and brother gave me a birthday cake! Yeaaay, have been craving for it! It’s Chocolate Devil from The Harvest. Have you taste the super yummy chocolate sensation on it? You should try one!

Psst, I ask my brother to take this candid, but actually it’s not candid, because I was prepared ;)

Yumm! The taste of the chocolate is very deep and creamy! Can’t get enough for it ! Who wants some?

And now I want to show you the lovely greetings from my friends, via BBM, text, facebook and twitter!

Most of them hope that I can be a success person in the future, and hope that soon I can have a boyfriend! Haha thank you so much for the wishes and prayers, hope that Allah is going to grant it all :)

19th

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

Wow, alhamdulillah ya Allah, I have reached 19 years old!
I hope these year I can be a better person in every single things.

Thanks for my family and friends, for the beautiful wishes.
I'm going to post it here later. Now, let me enjoy my birthday first, okay? ;)

Catch The Wave

Once upon a time, there's friend of mine who often sharing stories about her new favorite kind of music. She likes K-pop. well, you should've known that it stands for Korean Pop.

At first, I was like 'Umm okay, go ahead tell me the stories but don't you wish that I will love K-pop too'. So I just listened to her and respond a bit just to act like I'm interested ;)

She's not the only one, another friends were talking about the same theme, K-pop. How they really fall in love with one of the boyband's member, how they usually watching their music video, and so on. Some of them are very addictive to it. Well, at first I thought that they're sucks or norak, because at the time, I thought that korean boyband is just nothing but a crap. I thought they humiliate themself by wearing random clothes and dancing like a girl. Ups, sorry if that's too rude. I just try to be honest.

But then the Korean Wave slowly hypnotized me! Surprisingly, I become more often googling about one of Korean boyband and girlband, even watching their music video on YouTube. Whooah I was surprised with this new habit, actually. I don't know how I could catch this Korean Fever, and I don't even know why and when did I start to like this kind of music!

Knowing this, I tried to hide it from my friends. I thought if they know that I like Korean music, I will be mocked. Until I tweeted something on my twitter : 'is it a crime if I'm starting to like Korean music?', then there are many replies from my friends who said that it's really not a mistake to like one kind of music, people do have passion and they can follow it with no fear. Yeah, then I realized that, it's people's right to like or dislike a genre of music, we just can't judge or mock them because of the choice that they've made. I thought it's wise enough, right?

So, here I am. I confess that I like K-pop, the boyband, the girlband, the dance and the style. Believe me, they are so hard to resist! Once you listen or watch their music, suddenly you can fall in love with them (well, it happened to me). So, it's not a big deal if I like K-pop, right? you're not gonna unfollow my blog and still want to come back here anytime, right? >_<

For the boyband, I like Super Junior. Well, maybe it's kinda mainstream, but yeah I just like them. I like the way they dance, pose and dress. It's just fascinating to me. Sometimes, I wonder how could they become so expert with dancing? they are all boys and usually boys can't dance flexibly. For the song, I like 'Sorry Sorry', 'Bonamana' and the newest one 'Mr.Simple'. What I like from their music are the beat and the dance. The three songs above have awesome beat! Everytime I listen to it, my body automatically shakes and do a little dance (haha, please don't imagine it). Well, if there's one thing that bother me when I watch Korean boyband music video is the way they dress up. They usually wear random stuff like fishnet top, fur vest, oversized harem pants, patterned legging, shocking colors, etc. Luckily, I thought Super Junior has no problem with their style, I still thought that their style mostly are appropriate and elegant.

Well, pictures above are taken from 'Mr.Simple' MV



and the colorful one... I can't count it as the elegant style, but they rarely dress like that so just skip the pic ;)


Warning! once you watch it, you'll never stop wanting to replay it again and again ;)

oh yah, as I know the member of SuJu is 13 boys, but all I see is just 10 boys here. anyone can explain it to me? sorry, I'm a newbie >_<

For the girlband, I used to like Girl's Generation or SNSD. I love their catchy song titled 'Gee'. Now, I'm starting to like T-ara (maybe it pronounces 'Tiara'?). I really love their songs titled 'Apple is a' and 'Roly Poly'. It's magically addictive and the beat always make me want to dance! I really admire their cute and chic style and also their perfect body! Everytime I watch their MV I was like 'Aaah when will my body can be as skinny as them?' --> skip this desperate part.

This is T-ara. Look how cute they are :)
You should check out their 'Roly Poly' MV below! It's danceable!

Eventhough I love K-Pop but I still love the Top 40 Songs or anything on Billboard.com . I'm not too addictive with K-pop, I just search something different from what I usually listen to. So, I guess I just spread the Korean Fever to you guys! I hope for the K-pop haters, you can think twice before judge the K-pop lovers. Just respect each other :)

Yeah at last I think it's not a guilty pleasure anymore, how about you?

Welcome Ramadhan

this is my yesterday's tweet, go follow me @augustputt :)

Yeaaaaaay! Can't believe that it's August already!
I always love August, especially this August.
Why? because August is my birth's month, I was born on August 27 :)
and insyaallah, this year I'm going to be a 20-years-old-woman. yeah, woman, I think I'm mature enough, am I? ;)

And my happiness is multiplied because this year, Ramadhan is also on August!
Ramadhan is the month full of glory and blessing, we have to fasting for 30 days.
What's difficult from doing fasting is not how to beat the hunger or thirst, but to beat the emotion, anger even lust.

Hope that this Ramadhan would be the best Ramadhan ever to all of us! Amiiin :)
Happy fasting and don't forget to do Tarawih!

May Allah bless us all :)

Away Getaway

Yak! Melanjutkan post yang sebelumnya, kali ini gue bakal cerita tentang kelanjutan liburan gue bareng Retta sama Nadya. Tadinya gue sama Nadya mikir kalo rencana buat pergi ke Bandung ini impossible, secara saat itu kondisi keuangan kita tiris banget :’( . Eh tapi sekitar 2 minggu kemudian kita sepakat buat pergi ke Bandung, ke tempat Retta :)

Jadi, gue sama Nadya berangkat dari depok naik Aya Travel. Pasti banyak yang belom tau deh travel ini. Gue juga ga bakalan tau kalo ga dikasihtau sama sodara gue yang emang orang Bandung. Letaknya terpinggir banget, disamping BNI Walikota Depok, tapi agak masuk dikit gitu. Kita naik yang jam 5 pagi! Whoaah, kita bahkan sholat subuh di Aya Travelnya.

Aya Travel ini termasuk murah, cuma Rp.60.000,- dan karena kita pake KTM jadi Rp.55.000,- deh J The jouney was started. Di perjalanan kita ngobrol, dengerin musik, sampe ketiduran. Sekitar 2,5 jam kemudian, alhamdulillah kita nyampe juga di Bandung!

DAY 1

Kosnya Retta letaknya di Dipati Ukur. Kosannya bagus banget, aa pengen kayak gitu juga di Depok. Jadi bangunannya minimalis, lantai 3. Terus suasananya adem banget padahal ga pake AC (yaeeeyalah, Bandung gitu). Abis sarapan sama mandi kita cabut ke main destination kita, yaitu ITB! Gue sama Nadya sempet becanda kalo tujuan kita ke Bandung adalah untuk ke ITB dan tujuan kita ke ITB adalah...untuk cari cowok -___- . Mwahaha maaf ya kalo kita sangat desperate, tapi itu becanda kok ;)

Sampai sana kita diajak keliling sama Retta, dijelasin ini-itu all about ITB. Nice tour guide :)Menurut gue ITB kampusnya enak. Banyak pohonnya, jadi keliatannya asri dan rindang. Terus arsitekturnya kebanyakan bergaya kuno, tapi bagus, punya daya tarik sendiri. Gedung fakultas satu sama fakultas lainnya berlokasi ga terlalu jauh satu sama lain. Terus anak ITB dari berbagai fakultas juga sering nyatu di salah satu spot yang emang biasa buat nongkrong (lupa namanya apa). Aduh, kampus idaman banget deh, coba UI kayak gitu. UI tuh cenderung terlalu luas, sampai banyak hutannya yang terabaikan. Bahkan gedung antar fakultasnya juga jauh-jauhan, harus naik bikun dulu. Ya sudahlah, harus tetap bersyukur sama kampus sendiri :)

Sayang banget disini gue sama Nadya ga nemu cowok yang oke, yang layak untuk dijadikan new crush :P Siangnya makan di soto ayam depan ITB. I have to admit that, this is the best soto I ever had! Enak banget dan harganya juga murah! Oh iya, here’s the documentation :

foto di spot yang katanya sih suka dipake foto...

Pintu masuknya ITB

Ga ada muka-muka anak perminyakan ya? yang ada muka gue yang berminyak -_-

Great statue! best quote for us :)

Bisa dibilang kalo kedatangan kita ke Bandung momennya kurang pas nih,karena si Retta lagi banyak kegiatan di kampus, semacam pelatihan biar bisa ngospek gitu. Jadi abis makan siang Retta cabut ke ITB lagi, sementara gue sama Nadya jalan deh ke Factory Outlet sepanjang jalan Dago. Lumayan bagus-bagus sih, harganya juga ga terlalu mahal, but we’re not in the mood for shopping.

Sorenya balik lagi ke kosan Retta istirahat sebentar. Malemnya kita jalan ke Ciwalk. Berhubung saat itu malem minggu, jadi perjalanan kesananya macet dan pas sampe udah jam setengah 9 aja. Setelah puas kesana-kemari, akhirnya pulang deh. What a good yet tiring day... Sampe kosan Retta kita langsung tepar. Zzzzzzzzzz...

DAY 2

Bangun pagi-pagi karena udah niat banget mau jogging di jalan Dago yang hari itu lagi Car Free Day. Retta lagi-lagi ada pelatihan di kampusnya, dia berangkat lebih pagi. Pas udah mau jalan, eh Retta BBM kalo ternyata hari itu ga ada Car Free Day karena ada Pak SBY yang lagi dateng ke suatu acara di Gasibu. Aaaah kesel banget L Akhirnya karena udah terlanjur jalan, kita nyari sarapan dulu deh. Pas lagi jalan kita nemu gerobak modern gitu yang jual roti kukus dengan berbagai rasa. Wah penasaran, akhirnya gue nyobain roti kukus susu keju. Ternyata roti kukus ini hampir mirip sama bakpau, rotinya mirip kayak roti burger terus di kukus pake dandang besar. Wah rasanya enaaak! Kejunya melting :9 Terus disin juga jual susu sapi segar dengan berbagai rasa juga. Gue mesen yang rasa mocha dan woaa rasanya juga enak! Susunya murni terus mochanya juga pas banget! Slurrp! Sayang gue ga bawa kamera waktu itu, jadi ga bisa foto si roti kukus.

Karena bingung gimana caranya ngehabisin waktu sambil nunggu Retta pulang, gue sama Nadya yang buta daerah Bandung, nekat naik angkot ke alun-alun. Alhamdulillah ga nyasar, karena nanya-nanya orang. Pas udah dialun-alun bingung juga sih mau ngapain. Jadi yaudah jalan-jalan norak doang. Ga lama, kita balik lagi. Karena gatau mau kemana lagi, yaudah deh kita balik ke kosan Retta. Rencananya kita mau bobo siang, tapi karena ga ngantuk, jadi kita malah karaokean di karaokeparty.com (jangan bilang belum pernah coba!). Setelah sukses bikin keributan, kita jalan lagi ke daerah Dago, ngiterin Factory Outlet lagi. I found a chic bandana coloured camel brown :) .

Sorenya kita balik ke kosan Retta dan untungnya dia sudah pulang dari kampus. Tadinya kita mau lanjut ke Bandung Carnival Land, tapi karena udah capek akhirnya ga jadi deh. Malemnya kita mutusin buat makan nasi uduk di sekitar kosan. Enak, murah meriah :9

Then, we had our quality time. It’s a very girly night ever. What were exactly we doing? Kita pake kuteks bareng dan bereksperimen dengan dandan gothic pake eyeliner, bedak, sama lipstick yang seadanya. Pokoknya centil-centilan bareng deh!

my nail, aren't they pretty?
unfortunately, I lied. ini kuku cantiknya Retta :'(
sedangkan gue??

udah bulet-bulet jarinya, pake galau segala lagi -__-

the 'nail-art' process ;)

Setelah puas bereksperimen, kita main kartu deh. Simple game but we miss it a lot :). Main kartu sampe sekitar jam 11 malam. Teriak-teriak plus ketawa-ketawa sampe bikin berisik satu kosan. Karena udah malem dan besok paginya jam setengah 6 pagi gue sama Nadya udah harus pulang ke Jakarta, kita udahan deh terus tidur. But the fact was, we felt that the night was too precious to be missed, so we stayed up until 2 am, chatting and galau-ing together. Di kesempatan ini kita nge-galau bareng. Dari ngomongin jodoh ( lagi-lagi -__- ), kuliah, hal-hal jorok (ups!), sampe konspirasi-konspirasi dunia dan subliminal message di lagu-lagunya Lady Gaga sama kartun Disney. Waw, super random, yah? But I really enjoy the moment, because this was such a rare moment and it’s been a long time since our last time sharing deeply from heart-to-heart. Akhirnya jam 3 kita baru tidur.

Paginya, kita telat bangun!!! Naik DayTrans Travel yang jam setengah 6 tapi baru bangun jam 5! Akhirnya buru-buru, ga mandi, langsung cabut ke Simpang Dago, untung pool-nya deket. Sebelum pergi kita tetep sempet buat dadah-dadahan, pelukan. Aaa sedih banget mesti pisah lagi L. Sampai di DayTrans, fuuh untung aja mobilnya telat, sampe 15 menit gitu. Dan akhirnya, 2 jam kemudian sampai lagi deh di Jakarta.

What a great getaway! It’s really nice to have you guys as my buddy :)

Thanks for being my good friends, hope that it will last forever :’)
