Prologue: Don't Be Regret, You'll Earn It Even Better

It's been a hiatus for 2 months, gee where have I been? I'm almost forget that I have a blog the one I shared with. Do you guys asking why I left this blog too long? It's been a hectic at my campus, and my social life. I've been enjoying this season, good things come to me. I didn't thought that life is this easy without my close friends. For a prologue, I'm studying in International Relations, and taking international class program (IPIREL). I love all the international things, and my friends, they are also cool!
It's good to be here. Many chances we can take, especially to go abroad, to see the foreigners, be friends with them. I really want to do that since a long time. But, once I tried to enroll it last semester, I was rejected, even two times, and my friends were accepted. They both now leave me, and go to their destined country to take an Exchange Program for a semester. I was really upset of myself that time..
I imagined how can I live my life at campus without them, my close friends, though many good friends here but still they are not that close to me. Anyway, my life seems happier without them. Oh no, no, I mean, I can still adapt with the others, enjoy many things here. Interact better, adapt better. Laugh, kidding. I never imagined that way since I was the one that hard to easily adapt with other, and tend to always be in my comfort zone, always be with my close friends.
But now I can stand alone. I can do anything I want without surrounded by my close friends. This time I think that I am getting better, resolving my number one problem: can't stand alone. I feel like no one can let me down. It's the one that motivate me, to be the person that is better. It's me, myself that changes me.
It's yourself who will change you. After that, you will find it easier, your life. You don't have to desperately regret on your failure. Just focus on how you can face a life differently, and just relax. That's what I've done. I've never look back to my failure, I was happy that my friends got that chance, and I'm just regret how I can't do the same. They are great. But it's not that I have to give up. I never stop trying instead. Then I promised myself to not focus on my regret, but just to enjoy my life better, and the problem unconsciously will be solved.
This season, I got that chance even easier. I still can't believe that I've done that. Remember the word that Allah always hears your prayers, when you failed, He will change it with the better one and I believe that. Alhamdulillah for this. I feel this time is my best moment of life that I can solve a little problem that comes to me. So, for you who don't belive you can do or you've failed doing a thing, just don't be regret. Try to focus on making yourself better in any sides, not to focus to chase the things you want. Because if you only focus on that things, you will never change yourself to be the better one. Then, you might failed again :)

REVIEW: Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence

Halo!
Aku mau mereview salah satu produk yang sudah aku pakai beberapa bulan nih, namanya Secret Key Starting Treatment Essence (STE). Ini merupakan produk dari Korea yang lagi hits sekali dan ini merupakan produk dari brand Korea pertama yang aku coba. Kabarnya, produk ini juga merupakan dupe dari SK II FTE yang banyak jadi favorit banyak orang. Sayangnya, SK II FTE harganya juga banyak, alias mahal :))

Produk in memang sangat mirip dengan SK II FTE, sampai namanya pun mirip ya. Hehe. Tapi, produk ini sangat sangat sangat lebih murah. Keunggulan lainnya dari produk ini adalah mereka mencantumkan kalau mereka nggak menggunakan bahan-bahan yang dianggap berbahaya untuk kulit, seperti: paraben, pewarna, alkohol, minyak hewan, mineral oil, dan benzophenon.

Secret Key STE ini mengandung galactomyces yeast yang dikenal bisa mencerahkan, clarifying, balancing, dan moisturizing.

Kalau di keterangannya sih, essence ini dipakai pertama kali setelah cuci muka. Tapi, aku memakainya setelah toner. Sayangnya, produknya gak bekerja maksimal kalau aku pakai toner sebelumnya. Jadi, memang lebih baik produk ini dipakai pada rangkaian skincare pertama setelah cuci muka. Kalian juga bisa pakai Secret Key STE ini sebagai pengganti toner, soalnya teksturnya cair.

Aku sudah menggunakan produk ini sejak Juli kemarin. Menurutku, produknya bagus, tapi nggak sebagus yang orang-orang bilang. I was expecting more, actually. Tapi sayangnya ya biasa aja. Hehe.

Malah, aku merasa produk ini lengket di mukaku yang oily-combination dan kusam ini. Apalagi, kalau mengaplikasikannya terlalu banyak, mukaku jadi makin kusam. Tapi, produk ini bagus banget kalau dijadikan alat kompres jerawat. Jadi, biasanya kalau jerawat muncul, aku akan kompres produk ini pakai kapas. Biasanya, kapasnya sih aku potong kecil-kecil, supaya produknya juga awet. Hehe. Setelah dikompres, jerawat alhamdulillah jadi kempes. Kompresannya akan sangat bekerja kalau dipakai sebelum tidur. Jadi, bangun-bangun jerawat sudah agak kempes deh.

Pros

• Membantu mengempiskan jerawat
• Sedikit mengecilkan pori
• Beruntusan jadi hilang

Cons:

• Lengket
• Kalau dipakai banyak, muka jadi kusam
• Produk tidak bekerja maksimal jika sebelumnya sudah menggunakan skincare lain

If I could give a score for this product, I will give it:

3 out of 5

Overall, hilang sudah rasa penasaranku dengan produk ini. Hm..kalau dibilang puas, Well, that's fine tho. This is my first Korean skincare afterall. Still willing to try other Korean skincare anyway.

Golden Hour

I really like fashion since I was a kid, it was because of my mom loves clothes too. She likes to sew her own clothes since she was High School, and it then made me want to learn how to sew. So, it was a year I learned how to sew in my hometown, it haven't done yet since I have to wait until my holiday come.

Although my sewing class hasn't done yet, I've been sewing many clothes, in many different models and materials. I think, sewing is not that hard, you just gotta love it, and the idea will come to your mind. Since then, I never bought a clothes again, all I need is to buy materials, materials, and materials again. Psst..it doesn't mean I never bought anything else then, I still love to pick the best shoes and bags to bring home. Xixi.

That culotte also is not a new one, it's my aunt's that she gives to me because she's getting fatter. Haha. You see, it's not always needed much money to be looked stylish. To follow the trend also not that hard. I like to style by my own, but doesn't mean I become like hipster, stay away from the "in" thing.

It doesn't mean you have to follow the trend always and always, but no one says follow the trend is prohibited, yeah? Just how you manage it and still being your own on it. But if it's too hard to follow, then just don't follow it. Life is simple actually, if you think simple too.

So, about the background, it was a park in my High School, yups..How I miss this school, with all the good and bad memories. It's been about 3 years since I graduated and I haven't come here again, then when I went there I see lot things change. That's a life.

this is one of my besties since Junior High School, her name is Isna

Zahra, Nisa, Silvi, Me, and Isna

I came to my Senior High School with these people to celebrate its 57 years established. It was so much fun, so many old friends there that brings also old memories that should we never forget. Even thought, there's not always happy things happen, and you just have to remember that life is both about happy and sad, so keep breathing and chase dreams!!

Meet my pretty gals too, Gayuh and Seja

Raya Outfit

In the second day of Raya, I wore a more casual outfit. I combined soft pink and light tosca.

Life's hard? You've Gotta Through That, tho

It's been years since I was graduated from High School, the most beautiful part of life (most people say). It might be right, cause it was the time you'll never experience again, it's a different situation than the other time. Indeed. However, it's not always be as good as they say. I mean, life's not always be straight as you might see in your dream, and if it's dream, you gotta wake up, dude! It's not happening for a long time, though.

It's not that I've got bullied or something so sad. Haha. It's not that sad. It's just about how we face life with each different perspective in people's mind. Some people may always get lucky, surrounded by cool people, good life, much money, existence, and so on and so forth. That you may realize all they do is for something.....well, wait, for what? To get a sympathy? To be known as good people? To deserve all that things? Or to gain an imaging?

I really don't understand with people nowadays, especially, for people around me. They will do everything to get some "imaging" to other people to be "looked good" but basically not. It's kinda like force something they can't really do. It seems like, it makes me think, "it's not really you". People fake something to gain "something more", basically.

Indeed, people have each purposes in life, until you might find your friends come to you to get only benefits from you, not to be your "true" friend. It becomes sooo many people like this today. Well, I don't know why. Why could people change this fast? Somehow, people get this wrong, people now can easily fake it. You can pretend to be a good friend while actually you're not. And it happens to me. The word "best friends" is not that easy to determine. It's not like, we like same thing, or we came from same class, we often hang out together, then simply called as best friends.

Best friends are much more than that. For me, to be a best friend for your friends is hard. You gotta know your friends deeper, you got to be there if your friends need you, and it's not about you give, and they only take, It's not like zero sum game or something, but it's a give-give relation, because we need each other, and we gotta help each other. Not that easy, when we can easily forget that, never meet a long time, and we pretend to care. Best friends aren't that simple. It's not about pretending to be like.

So, is it wrong to stay away from friends that in fact they pretend to know us acting like good in front, while it's gossiping around behind? I think it's better to stay away, rather than to fake myself. It doesn't mean like we cut the relations as friend, we only need to keep the distance away and not too close. I mean, not pretending to close, while we are not. If you agree, you might get it right, but this post doesn't create to make a controversy. I'm just giving my opinion, you may have your own perspective anyway :)

Thanks for reading my post...
