Hello 2015

Happy New Year, everyone! How was your 2014? Mine was great, a lot of achievement, experiences, chances, new lessons, new friends with same enthusiast. I'm so grateful. May you had a delightful 2014 too, and you'll find a year full of joy and successes in 2015.

 Rainy afternoon, hot lemon tea, apple cinnamon ring (recipe from here) and a good read. A perfect combination to end the day. How's your Monday? I wish you all have a great one to start the week!  ~xo

a weekend walk

I found this beautiful place when Bara and I were went out on the weekend about a couple months ago. We're just drive towards the highlands area almost an hour from my house. Then we found this elongated path with tall pine trees on its both sides. There were only a few houses around that area, which make this path very calm and serene. Also fresh because surrounded by pine trees. I thought this place was proprietary, because it has high fence on the front but it wasn't locked . So we parked our car outside the fence and got into that place. Then we took a walk followed the path, just to stretched our legs, took a deep fresh breath and of course, some photograph :)

It's always nice to go to new places and found such a wonderful place to explore or simply to enjoyed. How was your weekend, guys? I hope you have a great one :)

hello, there!

How are you? It's been so long since my last post. I missed this blog a lot :( I'm so sorry I haven't written any post in ages. Well, that's all because I had got a new job in early March. And it's very time-consuming and also my mind. I don't think I like this kind of job. I mean a 9 to 6 job from Monday to Friday sitting in front of computer doing the same thing every day. So boring. I just wanted to do something I really like. I know. I know. Seems quite selfish. But it's my live and I can't live it twice. I just want to enjoy it.
Aah, why am I blabbing on the first day I went back to this blog? Is it such like a young adult-life crisis or something?
Anyway, I've decided to resign (again) from my job in the next 3 weeks. So, see you really soon and have a very lovey weekend! :)

the award...

Well, about a week ago I had been nominated for the Liebster Award by Daniela from Trebuchet. Then I remember a couple months ago I've given the same award by Hani from Wanderlust that I have not answered! Forgive me Hani :(

Okay, I'll answer both of them now. This Liebster Award comes with some questions, 10 of Daniela and 11 of Hani. So here it is.

FROM DANIELA

1. What is your greatest achievement so far and why?

Hmmm.. I think so far is when I can graduate timely from my college. It made my parents proud.

2. How do you spend your free time?

I often spend my free time by browsing on the web to get some inspiration, crafting, and spend my weekends with my family or B. Or even just lazing around and watching TV all day long.

3. What is your favorite season and why?

Autumn in 4 season or rainy season in my country. I love gloomy and grey days, make me feel more comfortable, calm and more in the mood for crafting :)

4. If you could live anywhere besides where you do now, places today or times back in history, where would it be and why?

I had a dream of living in the mountains which I could see the city lights view at night and fog in the morning. Hopefully soon :)

5. What is the most exciting thing you’ve ever done?

Opened my online clay shop! That was very exciting for me :)

6. What are the best five words that would describe you?

Simple, very moody... ah I can't say more. I should ask someone to appraise me.

7. Who is the most influential person in your life?

B! :) He gave a lot of influence in my life, and always makes a better me.

8. If you could do something else with your life besides what you currently do, what would it be?

I want to be a food photographer! I would love to learn about it.

9. What makes you smile?

My B. He often makes me smile even when I get mad :)  And my nephews. I never can get mad to them.

10. What would you like to achieve in 2013?

Get a new job I love. A.s.a.p. Wish me luck for this!

FROM HANI

1. Would you change something about yourself?

Yes, my vices.

2. What is your definition of happiness?

Happiness is when we can get together with people we love and we’re grateful for that.

3. If you could switch lives with someone for only a day, who would it be?

Hmmm…it is a hard question. I could not answer your question, Hani! :(  Maybe I'll tell you the answer later.

4. Why you made a blog?

I want to share what I love and inspire me. Hopefully it can also inspire you.

5. Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength?

Could be both. It depends on what you're crying about.

6. What do you love the most about your family?

Togetherness.

7. What is the best thing about being your age?

The best thing to be a young adult is that we can take our own decisions. We can manage our own finances, our lives, our way, without need to be set by our parents again. But of course we must remain responsible for all the decisions we made.

8. Pick one, past or future?

Future.

9. What's the way to win your heart?

Honesty, sincerity, humility, and ice cream!  :)

10. Who inspires you every day?

Everything. I can get inspiration from anywhere, nature, people around me, magazine, your blogs :)

11. One of the nicest things anyone has ever said to you?

I can’t decide. So many nice things that people said to me.

-----

Now I would like to nominate the other blogs and they have to pass on the award to their favorite bloggers and keep it going.

MY QUESTIONS FOR THEM ARE:
1. How did you decide to start a blog?
2. When did the last time you do something for the first time, what was it?
3. What do you do when you're not blogging?
4. If you could live inside the story of a movie/book, what would it be and why?
5. Modern or vintage?
6. What is your current obsession?
7. How did you and your husband/boyfriend meet?
8. If you could go back to your school days, which would you choose, elementary, high school or college, and why?

I've just tidied up my blog look. It's look more simple and neat now :)
But I was have trouble opening my blog on Mozilla. The layout looks weird  :(
Is it just me or someone has experienced the same? Please let me know if you have some trouble to opening my blog. It would  mean a lot to me. Thank you.
Happy Wednesday!

it's 2013...

Hi, there! I'm back! :)
Finally, I was able to update this blog. So, I've left my job last Friday and now I have some free time to do whatever I like. New year, new atmosphere, and new activity. But I had to find a new job. Well you know, crafting, diy-ing, blogging and claying is just a hobby for me. At least for now.
Ah, but I think I'll take another few weeks to be a jobless, just to enjoy my me-time :)
Happy New Year, everyone! Hope you have a blessed year ahead.
I'll be back soon with a little "new update" for this blog :))

taking a break..

 via

I think I need to take a little break from blogging, just for 2-3 weeks or so. Many things are getting busy at my "9-5 work", and I have a quite huge plan for my futures work that really hard for me to decided, so I have to focus on it. And I'm planning to finish and focusing on some work that I wish it can be a good start at the New Year.
Aack...There are so many plans and things in my mind that I have to focus for now :(

Hopefully I can be back to blogging again within few weeks, with a fresh mind and full of joy again of course.

Please continue to read my blog and give your lovely comments. I will really love to read and reply it when I get time :)

See you soon! ♥

Note : I'm so sorry, as long as I taking a break, I didn't accept the ad swap offer. And I'm really sorry if during the break time I couldn't response to emails quickly. But I'll try to it.

Happy birthday, dear…

Today is Bara’s birthday. But we can't celebrate it because he has to stay in the other city for work :(

A bit disappointed because not to be able to celebrate his birthday (sigh).

Anyway, happy birthday my dear! I was so glad that I can be a part of your birthday for the last 4 years. I always hope all the best for you :')

Well, I've prepared a gift and make a special birthday card for him with a deer picture on it :)
And as a gift for you too as my reader, I’ll share the card with you as a freebie printable that you can download here.
Hope you like it! Share it to your love one ♥

I plan to spend my weekend by visiting a local craft shop and bookstore to buy some fun stuffs :)

Happy Monday! ♥
A few weeks ago, my boyfriend and I decided to visit the forest park in my town at the weekend.  It was a very fun time we had. Even though we just walk around and take some photos to try out my new camera :) Then at the next day we both went to the cinema to watch Ice Age 4. What a funny movie! Well, that is one of my very fun weekend:)))  How was your weekend? Hope you all have a super lovely weekend :)
