Being a tree hugger again

My life changed a lot since my mom passed away. In my mind, I only want to spend a lot of my time with my family. Okay, Early March 2014 my mom's older sister passed away because of ca. September 2015 my mom passed away. December 2015 my mom's younger sister passed away. All of them passed away because of ca. It makes me have to think of becoming a tree hugger again after almost a year I postpone it. And I started it yesterday. Few months lately I already rest my face from any make up. I never use any powder again. Or moisturizer. Or blush on. You name it. I only use eye brow pencil and lipstic. Thats all. 3 days a go I tried to make ACV toner. Oh wait, a week before I drink ACV + mineral water in the morning and one before i go to sleep. It controlled my crave of something sweet or any snack. Happy. But all the acnes was came out, maybe I call it the detox was working to clear out all of the toxic inside my body. I also pee a lot. Then I made the ACV toner (distilled water + ACV, 1:1, it depends on your skin type). I applied it before I went to sleep. And didnt wash it since it was a toner. And surpisingly it works a lot to my face. My acne deflated. And dry. Wow... I am so happy. And officially since yesterday I start the healthy life again. Here's what I do:

1. Drink water at least 2 L a day. Since I am not a fan of mineral water (but we, as human have to   drink it) usually I put a lemon water on it.

2. Face my wash with organic facial wash and followed by oat meal face wash. But I usually let the oat until it really dry and gently massage it and rinse it with water.

  
3. DIY Pitterra Toner / ACV Toner

4. Have a Jelly Gamat as a masker and let it glued to my face and rinse it in the morning.


And today I made an overnight oatmeal. There's a lot of oat meal left in my kitchen and also dried raspberries. But the problem is, i dont like oatmeal. Google said to make an overnight oat meal we should wash the oat meal with milk/juice/yoghurt. I dont like milk so much and dont have any yoghurt in my fridge. So i tried to mixed the oatmeal with milo and adding some water and raspberries. For today i am not putting any lemon water to my mineral water, i put the raspberry haha. Hope it tastes well in the morning...

Something Simple, Yet Beautiful

SUNDAY, APRIL 13 2014

"Are you happy today?" Wilfred asked me.
"Yes, I am. And you?" I asked him back.
"Yeah, I had so much fun today. Thank God I came with you guys. I am in love with Vollendam".
"I told you. This is your first time to Vollendam, you've been there for the first time with me, I am pretty sure once you go there again, you must be remember me"
"Somehow, yeah, you're right. If I have new girl friend I will bring her come to Vollendam and say that this is my first time go to Vollendam with her".
I gave him a little punch and we laughed together.

Sunday night, in the middle of heavy wind of Amsterdam, i was walking from Maastraat to Amstel Station with him. We talked a lot. We talked how happy we were that day. Suddenly we forgot our problems. We had so much fun that day.
We went to an old village called Vollendam, the neighbourhood of Amsterdam. I went there with Nesya, Mel, and also Wilfred. We met up at Centraal Station at 12 o'clock.
FYI, Mel and also Wilfred never been to Vollendam before. They already lived in Netherlands more than 5 years, how come they never been there? LOL. So they were so excited to went to Vollendam.
I always love Vollendam. This is the third time i went there. I always feel peaceful when i was there. A lot of good views over there. I love the boardwalk, shops, the restaurants. And also fishing harbor filled with fishing boats, the houses with the moats in front, had swans and ducks floating idly by. So impressed me. So quiet place.
We also bought kibbeling for lunch. Sit in the seaside. Feed the birds and also the ducks. We also brought bread and fruits. Enjoy the sunny day in Vollendam, picnic. Really unforgettable moment.

After I was home then i got whatsapp Messages from Mel
"Thanks Aiu, I really had a great day and so did Nesya. I honestly hope you did too, Aiu. Let's have some more".

2 days after that Nesya also told me
"I was so happy that time. Thanks for the idea Ayu. I love having fun like that"

See, it's simple things. We only need bout 6 Euro for the Bus return, 4 Euro for kibbeling. We already had so much fun. This is what i called Something Simple Yet Beautiful

Kibbeling.. Erg Lekker

The One That Got Away

By: Mark J. Macapagal

In your life, you’ll make note of a lot of people. Ones with whom you shared something special, ones who will always mean something. There’s the one you first kissed, the one you first loved, the one you lost your virginity to, the one you put on a pedestal, the one you’re with …and the one that got away.

Who is the one that got away?

I guess it’s that person with who everything was great, everything was perfect, but the timing was just wrong. There was no fault in the person, there was no flaw in the chemistry, but the cards just didn’t fall the right way, I suppose. I believe in the fact that ending up with someone, finding a long time partner that is, does not lie merely in the other person. I can actually argue that an equal part, or maybe even the greater part, has to do with the matter of timing.

It has to do with you being ready to settle down and commit to someone in a way that goes beyond the little niceties of giddy romance. How often have you gone through it without even realizing it? When you’re not ready to commit in that mature manner, it doesn’t matter who you’re with, it just doesn’t work. Small problems become big; inconsequential become deal breakers simply because you’re not ready and it shows. It’s not that you and the person you’re with are no good; it’s just that it’s not yet right, and little things become the flashpoint of that fact.

Then one day you’re ready. You really are. And when this happens you’ll be ready to settle down with someone. He or she may not be perfect, they might not be the brightest star of romance to ever have burned in your life, but it’ll work because you’re ready. It’ll work because it’s the right time and you’ll make it work. And it’ll make sense, it really will. The day comes when you’re finally making sense of things, and you find yourself to be a different person. Things are different, your approach is different, you finally understand who you are and what you want and you’ve become ready because the time has truly arrived. And mind you, there’s no telling when this day will come.

Hopefully you’re single… but you could be in a long-term relationship, you could be married with three kids, it doesn’t matter. All you know is that you’ve changed, and for some reason, the one that got away, is the first person you think about. You’ll think about them because you’ll wonder, "What if they were here today?" You’ll wonder, "What if we were together now, with me as I am and not as I was?"

That’s what the one that got away is. The biggest "What if?" you’ll have in your life.

If you’re married, you’ll just have to accept the fact that the one that got away, got away. Believe me, no matter how fairy tale you think your marriage is, this can happen to the best of us. But hopefully you’re mature enough to realize that if you’re already with the one you’re with, that this is just another test of your commitment, one which will just strengthen your marriage when you get past it. Sure, you’ll think about him/her every so often, but it’s alright. It’s never nice to live with a "might have been," but it happens.

Maybe the one that got away is the one who’s already married. In which case it’s the same thing. You just have to accept and know that your memories of that person will probably bring a nice little smile to your lips in the future when you’re old and gray and reminiscing.

But if neither of that is the case, then it’s different. What do you do if it’s not yet too late? Simple… find him, find her. Because the very existence of a "one that got away" means that you’ll always wonder, what if you got that one? Ask him out to coffee; ask her out to a movie, it doesn’t matter if you’ve dropped in from out of nowhere. You’d be surprised, you just might be "the one that got away" as well for the person who is your "the one that got away." You might drop in from out of nowhere and it won’t make a difference.

If the timing is finally right, it’ll all just fall into place somehow. And it would be a great feeling, if in the end, you’d be able to say to someone, "Hey you, you’re the one that almost got away."

the wonderful of sharing

last sunday i decided to join a community named "KATALOGUE". and i asked some of my friends to join this community to share what we have, not only money but the spirit, education, etc. it located at Al Hakim, gang kubur in Ciputat. So here is some story about my very fist experience about this one..
