T H O U G H T S .

First of all, I'd like to say 'hello', I have been away for a long time and it saddens me, I used to write a lot, I loved writing. But for last few months, I feel like I feel so pressured to share everything.

I don't mind strangers, readers or viewers knowing my stories, but as my channel grows, distant relatives too, get to know my online activities and it's frustrating because I don't share the same values with them and I wouldn't care what they say, but if it affects my inner ring-one, then I'd care.

So much prejudice, so much expectations here, and so many people who like twisting things around.

So I decided that I won't link some posts to my Google+, but if you happen to stumble across this, please read with an open mind and don't twist anything around.

I was out of my mind frustrated this past month during holiday, because this holiday happens to combine both semester break and Ied Holiday. I had to go through so much of "when are you getting married"s and the 'why does your daughter look so westernized' looks from family members, and it's hella patronizing despite not knowing how strongly I hold my own values, people would still judge.

I am 21 years old.

There are so much things in life that I don't know, that I will later weep and learn, but you can't expect me to close my mind to things that I have been educated on and seen so far.

Do I think like a westerner? yeah, on some things I guess.
don't expect me to agree to shit like girls get married and stay home and make babies and take care of them and cook and wash dishes and have sex just for their men. HELL FUCKING NO.

If girls want to work, earn better than their partner, hold off having kids for personal success, WHY NOT? if someone had an 'accident' and they need an abortion because they're not ready, and it would hold them off, then fucking do it. If a female person wants to have sex outside of marriage, for their own benefit, then I don't mind because it doesn't affect me AT ALL, does it make them a whore? NO DUDE, if you think that, then your place isn't here, go back to 1940.

Do I hold on to my (preferred) eastern values? YES.
Personally, I really don't have an obligation to share this, but I think I should, so that small minded people would understand.

I have promised me to save myself for marriage.
Not because I value a worthless thin skin called Hymen inside my vagina.
BUT I RESPECT MY GOD and MY "FIRST TIME".
If what's worthless to me might mean a little something to someone I'll be spending the rest of my life with, then I'll save it for them as a little present.

BUT I PROMISE YOU, IF A POTENTIAL LIFE PARTNER EVER ASKS ME IF I WAS A VIRGIN BEFORE ASKING MY HAND IN MARRIAGE, I WILL SLAP THEM AND WALK AWAY AS FAST AS I COULD. 

Now, here's the potential FUCK YOU, YOU DEVIL WORSHIPER WESTERNIZED INDONESIAN WHORE WITH NO VALUES YOU'LL BURN IN HELL MOTHERFUCKER part;

Do I have a boyfriend? yes I do,
Do I go to places/travel with him? yes, sometimes.
Do I sleep in the same bed with him? NO, OFCOURSE NOT. (but if you do, its your choice and it's completely ok)

..as do most of the people my age. I just have a very exposed life in comparison to others given my social media activities.
I see cousins and relatives my age travelling with their partners on Path and I'm chirping at how cute they are, yet their family members talk about my PROM photos with a male.

It's fucking ridiculous.

I'm sorry for the long post, I really need to get this off my chest.
I hope I didn't bore you.

Launching of GODIVA New Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Chocolixir

On a random Thursday afternoon, I received an email invitation to the launching of Godiva's Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Chocolixir and I thought, "CHOCOLATE!" so I asked around to see if anyone would come along! If you didn't know Godiva, where have you been?
Godiva is one of the best chocolate companies that's been up since 1926.

 Their main products are types of delicious, heavenly chocolates like these:

Chocolixir is Godiva's beverage serial.
I honestly love chocolate, in the form of a chocolate, but I've never been into chocolate drinks and to try their Chocolixir was a new experience.

Their newly launched product, the Dark Chocolate Hazelnut Chocolixir would be a heaven on earth for those who favors hazelnut chocolate.

Godiva describes the product as:

"The perfect combination of hazelnut and silky cream delivers a smooth and sweet texture, the pleasure from the chocolixir is instantly enhanced in this summer."

My first impression of it is that it's like the famous chocolate, Ferrero Rocher, but in the form of a very smooth, delicious drink.

I asked my companions for the night if they'd think it's too bold and icky, but they agree that even though the drink is pure chocolate, its texture makes it consumable and the perfect kind of chocolate beverage.  

They also made us tried other kinds of Chocolixir like my favourite with banana below,

and this Raspberry one!

After going through a Chocolixir coma, Fredericka enlightened us some more on chocolate knowledge of what a good chocolate should be like, from taste, smell and 'sound'

She made sure that we didn't leave empty handed, so she prepped us with a goody bag and a hug goodbye. aww. 

overall, Chocolixir is a defo must-try if you're a chocoholic like myself! :)

Bali, Heaven On Earth

Hello! 

I know I am guilty of posting this so so so so late, but I went on a short trip to Bali recently (Or two months ago, oops.) and I visited some cool places over this little part of my country, and I'll share my opinion on them today.

1. ROCK BAR

Rock Bar is a beautiful place to catch some sunset and enjoy an afternoon with your significant other or family. It DOES have a minimum order of payment for each person which not everyone might be too happy about, but if you don't mind it, then sure thing, visit the beautiful cliff cafe!

2. EL KABRON

El Kabron is the most beautiful place to watch the sunset! It is presented to you on a wide horizon of gorgeous view in front of your eyes. Completed with an infinite pool, it's definitely a must-visit if you're a sunset person!!

It also has a minimum payment, but a lot more worthy for the price than Rock Bar, in my opinion.

3. ALILA VILLAS

I don't know if you've been to Heaven, but I can assure you, it would look something like Alila Villas in Uluwatu. I've never been in such an awe in my whole entire 21 years of existence on this earth.

I can't even explain it well because there isn't enough words to describe just how beautiful this place is. I was hoping the photos above can explain it a little better.

Alila is my favorite spot on earth right now, no doubt.  

4. MOONLITE KITCHEN & BAR

I cannot recommend this cafe enough. 

Moonlite isn't as beautiful in terms of scenery as Alila, but it is just a plain perfectly designed cafe with gorgeous infrastructure and wonderful, wonderful interior and stunning sunset.

I am so sorry for the amount of photos I just bombarded you with! 

Just hope they're enjoyable to see and worthy to put on your go-to list!

BIG LOVE FOR BALI, INDONESIA.
