Meskipun awan hitam bergumul dan hujan menggelayut manja di kaki langit, but still, I had such an unpredictably nice Sunday in this unpredictable weather. Yahoooo, no further talk, this is my kind of #exploreJogja ~ So a friend of mine asked me to visit her this weekend since I told her that I badly wanted to visit the beautiful village she lives in. Bermodalkan peta manual yang di gambar temen saya, bergerilyalah saya dan satu teman saya (yang lain) menerabas hujan demi, enggg demi apa coba ._. demi mengisi keseloan hari minggu para wanita jobless :3 Even though it rained a lil bit hard along the way to get there, Alhamdulillah ya, doa saya terkabul. Jadi saya doa, smoga ujan nya brenti pas saya nyampe di desa temen saya which is Kedungjati, Bantul, biar bisa jalan-jalan dan foto2. Dan inilah the very first view yang menyambut saya that made me fall in love with the village at the first sight. All the inconveniences riding a motorbike under the pouring rain were paid off! Terbayar...

It was Monday, Oct 13 when I had a not-so-good day. I started off the day with the thoughts of having a boring Monday which was worse because of the pain from my period. Oh girl! I planned on meeting my supervisor that day but I couldn't make it since I did not feel like going anywhere that day. I had a pretty bad mood since morning, I could tell. Then suddenly I got a call from my lecturer. She asked me whether or not I could replace her to teach the MKU class. I decided to say yes since I guessed it would be better than doing completely nothing at all but lying down in my bed-site. So, I went to my campus. So I started off smoothly, the class went pretty much well. Then, in the middle of my brief explanation of what would we do today, one of my students told me that the girl next to her (which later I realized keep looking at me with a very bright smile) is an impaired-hearing student. Okay, so actually this girl was the one who made my day. It's just a simple thing that...

Dear my one and only beloved supervisor,  Sorry for disappearing from your sight these past few weeks, it's because I'm kinda tired of all of this, things that I don't really enjoy. So, let me take some moments to appreciate my life and be grateful for being born into this very world. Anyway, I promise myself that I'm gonna see you soon. I do realize I have to end it soon, despite I like it or not. Please be nice to me, I love you. Sincerely,

I have a terrible episodic insomnia these past few days. It's truly driving me nuts (and make me cry)! Idk what keeps me awake at night, practically all day long, as I can't sleep in the afternoon as well. No obvious reason. It's so hard to get to sleep at night and during the day. I have nothing to do. I'm jobless (well, let's not mention thesis this time)! I get 24 hr a day with nothing, worthy, to do at all. I keep myself busy doing things I like. Reading. Watching movies. Eating out. Singing (in the shower). Writing diary & blogs. Even doing DIY. Well, and working on my thesis. sometimes. but, still , , , my mind buzzing with every random thoughts every single night. I'm tired but I can't sleep! When you feel so tired but you can't sleep . . . . ( now i know how it feels, dude ) I only get to sleep around 2 till 3 hours a day. 4 hrs if I'm lucky .-. I spend all night calculating how much sleep I'll get if I'm able to "fa...

If you're a hijabi, I suggest you to try this DIY Pin Cushion. I'm pretty sure you need it. Based on my experience, it's one of supposed-to-have items for a hijabi. LOL So I decided to make this DIY Pin Cushion today since I (feel like) have nothing to do at all ._. So I grabbed some unused items on my room and just began working on it. I post pictures here to help you guys make it. Just if you're willing to. Iyalahhh ~ Anyway, this is my first time making this kinda DIY item, so, I know it's not that pretty :v 1. STEP ONE Surely obvious that choosing, selecting and preparing the materials is what you have to do first in making the DIY Pin Cushion. Here are the materials I use: - An unused mineral water (let's recycle , use an unused material can be a great idea to start your DIY) - Unused scarf (again, it's unused. well, i did use it long time ago, but no more, keke. Better to use it for my DIY rather than throw it away, hemat ._.) - A fabric ...

(escaping me when I’m not in such a very good mood) 1.         Fruits and Veggies I know it does sound silly. How can fruits and veggies make someone happy? :v But it works on me! I mean, it makes me happy when I eat them, lol. Basically, foods make me happy. Nom nom nom ~ 2.        Beaches If you ask me where I want to go right now, I definitely want to go to beaches. I can’t swim, and I don’t swim. I just enjoy spending my time at the beach. Idk why, I often go to beaches (wait, often? I don’t think so, well, not that often, I take it back, it’s just sometimes :3), but I definitely wanna go back there a lot. Host of stunning beaches here in Jogja, but I don’t think I’ve been in many of them. Well. 3.        Sunset I always love sunset. Around 5.30-6pm is the best time of a day. It’s like I have a weird, err what, a weird obsession (?) toward senja.  It’s just simply rela...

Just scroll down my instagram page and happen to see some posts under a hash-tag #20FactsAboutME. Some hijabers I followed on ig did the "challenge". Then, I found out few days ago that some of my friends did the challenge as well. And, I got tagged! That's how the story goes. So, I made it. Supposed to be posted-on-ig-only, yet since I got nothing to post right now on my blog, I'll just put it here. Gak penting sih, buat selingan aja :3 1. I got such a long name! But my friends call me Dee, and it's kinda awkward when ppl call me Dewi. I got a kinda confused when ppl call me with "my name". 2. Red is my fav color. I'm into red <3 3. I love sunset, senja. And idk why. Is it weird? that i think i have such a weird "obsession" (?) toward senja. entalah. 4. last child on my family. jadi rada manja gitu klo dirumah. kalo di rumah ! 5. I can't drink icy or cold drink. idk. it's been approximately 5 years. 6. had my last ic...

No one denies that Yogyakarta is one of regions in Indonesia with a host of stunning places to visit. Not only the beaches which are stunning, but also the temples , villages, and others. Hence, it is recommended for you to drop by the city if you happen to have a visit in Indonesia. For those who love watching sunset, give it a try to visit Ratu Boko temple in Yogyakarta. Why so? Ratu Boko is located at Sleman regency, Yogyakarta, approxiamtely 17 km away from Yogyakarta. If it's your first time coming to Yogyakarta, I recommend you to take a tour which can be easily found on the internet. lol. Well, seriously, everything can be easily found here on the internet. Usually, tour travels will make it as a package. I mean, a travel package to visit Prambanan and Boko temple. The tour travel will make you an itinerary so that it's much easier for those who have no idea how to reach the place. Plus, there will be several options to choose to fit your preferences. Pick the pack...

Siapa juga yang gak suka jalan-jalan ke pantai? Berhubung gue adalah tipe orang yang gak bisa nolak kalo diajak ke pantai, gue bakalan berusaha sekuat tenaga buat ikutan kalo ada yang ngajakin main ke pantai #tsahhh. Nah, begitu pula pas gue liat ada ajakan dari salah satu trip organizer di Jogja buat ngunjungin pantai Klayar di Pacitan. Awalnya, sempet bingung karena musti ikutan acara itu sendiri dan rada parno juga kalo musti ikutan acara jalan-jalan sama orang-orang “asing” -_- Secara ini kan open trip ya, sapa aja mah bebas ikutan, asal bayar! :D Nah, untungnya nih, gue terlahir sebagai orang yang pinter ngomong apalagi ngehasut orang buat main. Bermanfaat juga lho pas saat-saat gini. Jadilah temen kos gue satu-satunya (iya, gue cuma tinggal berdua aja sama temen kampus gue dikosan -_-) gue ajak buat ikutan. “Biar ada yang motoin di pantai, haha,” gitu gue bilang buat bujuk si Mega, temen kos gue. Eh, emang dasar nya dia juga suka maen kali ya, dia nya mah mau-mau aja. Setela...

When everything seems so wrong, then all she can do is blaming herself. No one is taking charge for what happened in her life, and she definitely knows it. She is the one who should responsible for any thing in her life. Now that she realizes what she lost and what she had, she determines to make her life happier and better. But, the problem is, it is not simple as what she have thought. She tries hard and fails, tries over and over again and fails over and over again. What should she do? She asks herself.

Rated as one of the most stunning beaches along the south coast of Java, Klayar Beach is located at Pacitan Regency, East Java; around about 45 km west of Pacitan. Klayar Beach is becoming a hit nowadays since it's exposed a lot in the internet. It's such a pleasing trip as me joining the one day trip to Pacitan last Sunday. And I'd like to share every single thing I experienced there and the reasons why I called it as a hidden beauty of East Java. Like I said before, Klayar Beach might not as popular as other beaches in south coast of Java, but that's indeed what makes it even more special. Since it hasn't been so popular (for now), you can easily find empty spot to take pictures there, lol. Even visiting the site on the weekend will be no problem. I told you, the beach will only reach its peak on the school break season or holidays, here I mean national holidays. To reach this hidden paradise, you have to go through such a challenging and, how do I call it, we...

So it was yesterday which was the first meeting of #WEEXPECTMORE English Club. What was it?  Five friends of mine and me agreed on having a meeting once a week where we're gonna talk about a certain topic that we have dealt on. The great thing is it's in ENGLISH !! So, we were talking about each other's current job on that first meeting. We met at our campus and the talk just flew. The point is that, I learned a lot from my friends on that meeting. We talked about the ups and downs as we seek a job. I got to know more about what they do to make living (?). I find it exciting to have Q&A with them and I feel like finally I got a comfortable site to share lots of things I don't get to share with others. It was simply enjoyable. What keeps me thinking about it is that the saying (?) that I remember the most from that our very first meeting; the job we're working on, is it worth it? Is it worth the time we spend on it? It just keeps banging on my mind t...

Day #1 Friday, May 9 2014. One plan accomplished!! Yey, so happy to see charming sunset over Ratu Boko Temple; which is said to be one of the greatest spots to watch sunset in Yogyakarta. I had a hectic week back then since I had to take care of an event held by my campus. Then I guessed I need a vacation, lol, so I decided to take a visit here. I've been planning on visiting some other nice places actually, yet I had no one to accompany me *meh :/ Anyway, so grateful to be able to witness His stunning creation. Gladly wanna go back there again someday, Insha Allah <3 Day #2 Saturday, May 10 2014. Saturday is basically my favorite day! (Well, sometimes I like Fridays better -,-) I got to spend my weekend with my lovely nephew, Rasya, my adorable brother and my friendly sister in law.  A bunch of thanks went to Ayah (I called my brother "Ayah") for driving all the way to Jogja. So I did not get to spend my saturday nite alone anymore :p I guessed it was th...

Yay ! My 7 Days Happiness Challenge is almost coming to the end, keke ~ Tomorrow will be the last day which means I'm gonna share what the results (?) are. I don't know how to say it right. Hope I don't forget it, lol :p Well, can't wait to share it actually. Don't know why, guess I just wanna make this blog "alive" ! HECTIC ! Since the beginning of this week, I've been replacing my lecturer to take care of her classes since she took days-off starting a few days ago. She got something to do. Well, I learned a lot these past few weeks regarding many things like teaching. And today, this afternoon, I just got my schedule for next week, I got lots of classes! I don't know whether I should be happy or , uhm, what ?! But I'm planning on doing my best on it of course, just enjoy it will do I guess. Warning! I have to, I must, I should manage my time well so that all these works not prevent me to do my thesis. Hahaa, I'm just afraid if ...

Hai everyone . Well, here I share my writing about Stress Management. This is the second post. I already posted Stress Management #1 back then, and I told you already about few things regarding the issue. Now, I'm gonna talk further about it. First thing you need to look up is the way you currently cope with stress. How it impacts on your stress management? Have a look at the details below. Look at how you currently cope with stress Think about the ways you currently manage and cope with stress in your life. Your stress journal can help you identify them. Are your coping strategies healthy or unhealthy, helpful or unproductive? Unfortunately, many people cope with stress in ways that compound the problem. Unhealthy ways of coping with stress These coping strategies may temporarily reduce stress, but they cause more damage in the long run: Smoking Drinking too much Overeating or undereating Zoning out for hours in front of the TV or computer Withdrawing...

Finally manage to work back on this blog! It's been a while, I guess. Yap. I'm planning on doing Happiness Challenge starting from today. I name it 7 Days Happiness Challenge. So, few weeks ago, Happiness Challenge was once done by a cosmetic brand (that I use) but I didn't manage to join in. It's 30 Days for the program. Well, that's just inspiring so that I make something similar, only for myself for sure :p " Don't plant bad days, they grow into weeks. Weeks grow into months and months grow into years. " It chokes me! Choking back my sadness, I try to make myself happy. Doing this kinda thing is one of my ways to do so. Well, I've been through something terrible in my life, I just don't wanna make it even worse and let the sorrow drowns me. Why 7 Days Happiness Challenge? It's just the beginning so I tend to do it in 7 Days only, for now. Happiness Challenge? I wanna train myself to see beauty in everything, since I do realiz...

Waaaaa , Chelsea beat Arsenal 6-0 last night! What a night. It's the 1000th match for Arsene, and, that was what you guys gave to him -_- *sobbing* Err, I'm not gonna talk about it anyway . So what am I gonna talk about? Err, let's see *blur* I've heard many people, esp boys, tend to assume that if a girl like football, then it's either has something to do with her (that girl's) boyfriend or because the players are just handsome. Is that all you guys can think of when dealing with girl football admirer? Is it impossible for a girl to purely like football because she finds it, the match, interesting? Sound like I judge you guys? Keke ~ It's not me judge you boys, it's just, err , something I wanna talk about. I just wanna share my uhm , thoughts about me liking football. yeah , it's about me . M E . So, I used to like , watch, pay attention only to Indonesian football. I dont care whats going on Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga , eerrr wha...

Hai everyone. So nice to be here again LOL Now I'm gonna share or maybe review a product that I recently use. For my facial treatment, I use Wardah Lightening Series. Lots of products for this series, yet for now I'm just gonna review a new product, well it's not a new product actually, just a product that I just used few weeks ago. More or less, it's been three weeks since I used it. And I'd like to let you know what I personally think about it: Wardah Lightening Facial Serum. First of all, I'm gonna show you ~~~ my serum ! Tadaaaaa XD Wardah Lightening Facial Serum  Opps, sorry. I can't find my serum photo on my computer, so I google it XD Btw, that's exactly like mine ! No worries xx Wanna know how much I bought them? It's 54K rupiahs here, around US$5 , more or less. You can see on the picture, it's small!! You can get 5 small bottles in one box. Just as big as your finger , I guess. When to use ??? Twice a day ! Before app...

So, I happen to find one of my writing back then when I was required to present about something which attracts my attention. That time, idk why, I picked an issue related to stress management. Guess I've been pressed by too much stress back then >.< So, I'm gonna share what I wrote back then. Since there are a lot of points taken into account, for now I'll just share what stress management. Later, I'll post more on how to cope with it. Stay tune ;) It may seem that there’s nothing yo u can do about your stress level. The bills aren’t going to stop coming, there will never be more hours in the day for all your errands, and your career or family responsibilities will always be requiring. But you have a lot more control than you might think. In fact, the simple realization that you’re in control of your life is the foundation of stress management. Managing stress is all about taking charge: taking charge of your thoughts, your emotions, your schedule, your e...

Idk, no particular reason actually, yet I just feel like Saturday is my perfect lazy day when I can postpone my work and can just enjoy my weekend without worrying tomorrow. Heuheu , hope you get what my point is ._. I'm not so sure though, even me myself can't truly understand what I'm talking about right now.
