Cause women have their own strength to survive (inspired by Beyonce- Listen)

I love this song cause it has a powerful spirit. I believe every woman has her own strength to survive in every situation. As a woman, we need an attention esp from the person we love (mostly our love). Sometimes, we can be whoever they want us to be just to please their heart. But what do we receive in return? sometimes not a single complimentary word, "don't care stuff", neglected attitude, or even a taking for granted mindset that our try to be someone they want is a must thing to do.
Hei women...it's not a must thing to do! it's a choice, but sometimes it leads us to feel empty n suffered. Ask ur self whether u feel happy being someone u are not or not happy. By being someone we are not, we become someone who feel so thirsty of acknowledgement. It brings our mood upside down, so happy when we've got a lot of attention, but our world will be broken if they don't care. We turn to be a beggar of attention.
Well...the solution is not always try to please others, cause it will make us become a poor character and other will also feel pity to us. From this song, i remember a decision i've made several week ago...stop being a beggar, u'll get nothing that made u satisfy by being that. First of all, love ur self, realize that u have dignity as a woman, feel the power inside u n move. Our true love will accept our selves as our selves not another one! They will try to blend with ourselves, not always push us to change. But in relationship, there must be a balance, that women also have to blend. What i wanna say is changing in a positive way or character (be more mature than before) is a good one, but not with changing into someone u'r not. So women...love ur self :)

Kembang Goela

This is one of the unique restaurant. This is called Kembang Goela. It is located in Plaza Central (near Mc.D), Sudirman. In the front of restaurant, you can see a pond with koi fishes. When you enter the restaurant, you will feel a classic atmosphere, oldish n elegant. It's a little bit combination of Indonesian style with Netherland style. You can find classical music instruments (contra bass, grand piano)in the corner.
When you look at the menu, you will see several funny name such as es jangan ditanya, es selendang sutra, sosis om yanve, nasi goreng pitung, etc. The recommended food for me are sosis yance (1 METER boiled chicken sausage!! as u can see in my pic :P) for Rp 85.000, and asem-asem iga (like a rib sour soup, it's so yummy!! you'll ask for more cause it's so fresh) for Rp 65.000. Yeah..the price is quite expensive, but it's equal with the taste :)
This can be a chill place to hang out n a recommended one to try:) hm...i give 8 for the service and the taste of the food :P.

Klapa Entertainment-New Kuta Beach

This is another fav. spot of mine. This is Klapa Entertainment in New Kuta Beach Pecatu,Bali. U can go to Dreamland beach by entering this lounge cause it's located in Dreamland. They built a way directly to Dreamland but u must pay Rp.100.000,- for entrance fee but u'll get welcome drink n u can order food. If u spend more than Rp 100.000,- u just pay the total minus Rp 100.000,-
What i like the most from this spot, of course the view. It's so beautiful cause i can see the clear sky n the blue sea. I like the swimming pool where u can swim n enjoy the view of the sea in the same time. The waves is so high n wild, and u can see people surf. Hehehe..i like man who can surf cause they seem so sexy wkwkwkwk...Besides that..i think this place is romantic yet modern ^^.
About the food, hm....i like chocolate eclair from this lounge. It's choco cake with melted choco inside it, yummy..! The price of the drink starts from above Rp 25.000,- just like the price in the regular cafe.
Just try n enjoy the place, but i suggest u to come at afternoon, close to the sunset time (Around 4 pm up), cause it's so hot if u go at morning or noon.

Seribu Rasa

This is one of my favourite restaurants n spots to hang out. This is called Seribu Rasa restaurant. It located at Jl. Haji Agus Salim 128, Menteng. I like this place because it offers nice atmosphere (so comfy for me) and delicous food although it's quite expensive (when there is more money, there should be more quality :P). You can see a fountain in the frontyard (as u can see in my first pic) n then u enter the main dining room which is located between two private rooms. Between the main dining room n private room is separated by garden. U can see the garden while u eat n it's so relaxing. I also like the interior of the main dining room cause it's so classic yet elegant.
About the food, the cheapest is around Rp 49.000,- (for personal portion) or Rp 59.000,- to hundred thousand rupiahs, cause if you order jumbo prawn, it cost Rp 79.000,- per piece. They recommend grill jumbo prawn as you can see in my pic, but i don't really like the taste. I like my chicken thai with sambal better :P. The other food that i recommend is selat popiah n kangkung belacan....YUMMY. I wanna go there several times again n try to eat klappertart n mie jawa :P.
Anyway..if you wanna celebrate birthday or even wedding reception, you can book this placed, cause it's so romantic at the night with the lighting in the garden :). Enjoy guys...:)

Mie Tek Tek

This is my favorite food. It's called Mie Tek Tek or fried noodle :P. The "Tek-tek" comes from the sound of the seller, who hit the frying pan with the iron spatula. It sounds tek..tek..tek...every time the seller walk pass ur house. The sellers, themselves are mobile. They use hopper or "Gerobak" to carry their merchandise as u can see in the picture. They sell fried rice, kwetiaw, noodle, beehon,but u can also ask for another style of cook such as boiled one so it's like soup.This food is accompanied by Acar (slice of red onion, cucumber n carrot which are soaked in the vinegar; and Krupuk). The price of 1 portion is around Rp.8000-Rp 10.0000,-, depends on the seller. My fav. seller is this guy in my pic cause he can cook exactly the same taste as i want. This is really my emergency food when my grandma doesn't oook.

A new medicine for Migrain :P

People...if you often experience Migrain, let me tell u new medicine for Migrain...it's called SLURPEE. It can make ur brain freezing for a while so u won't feel headache :P. It's really a delicious medicine.
You can find it in Seven Eleven store. It's provided in small or big size. Small size is about Rp 7.000,- while the big size around Rp 12.000,- if i'm not wrong. It has 8 flavour, such as bluberry, sprite, apple, pepsi blue, grape, miranda (red), etc (i forgot :P).I like apple flavour.
So try it when u feel migrain, it's better than drink medicine :P..

Mushroom (look alike) Siomay

Another favorite food of mine. This is siomay which is look like mushroom so i called it mushroom siomay although it doesn't contain any mushroom in its ingridient. It's so delicious. I can only find this in Pasar Baru (3rd floor, near the connector bridge). It has 3 flavours, prawn, chicken, and pork. The most delicious is pork for sure. The price for one piece siomay is around Rp 5.000,-. It will be complete if u eat with peanut sauce....yummy n tasty....

Martabak Manis

This is one of my favorite food. It's called Martabak Manis or similar with pancake but it has different texture. It's Indonesian food which came from Bangka island, but also developed in Bandung, so u may see Martabak Bangka or Martabak Bandung seller anywhere. The taste of both martabak is almost similar for me, but the difference lies in the texture. Both of those martabak is cooked on hot iron pan. After it cooked, u can fill it with butter, cheese, chocolate, peanut, milk, or anything u like best. It's so yummy....esp when u put Wisjman butter on the skin of martabak. The best Filling for me is cheese milk or cheese choco.

Let me tell you which place sells the most yummy martabak. After trying so many martabak, I like this vendor mostly, it's Sinar Bulan Martabak. It's located in Grogol, in the front of Sumbangsih school. It opens at 4pm untill nite. The price for one pan martabak is Rp. 59.000,- but u can buy half pan with Rp 33.000,-
Try this...n u will be addicted as i am :P

Blanket-my mother archetype

Do you know what things it is? maybe several people can guess it right. It's my blanket, actually it's a sarong Bali, but it's so warm n comfy to be used as a blanket. It makes me feel save n secure when i sleep.

Related to those feelings, i remembered that i've learnt about this in my bachelor degree. It's related to Jung's theory (Carl Gustav Jung-an psychoanalyst). One of his theory said that "we would never have survived without our connection with a nurturing-one during our times as helpless infants. It stands to reason that we are built in a way that reflects that evolutionary environment : we come into this world ready to want mother, to seek her, to recognize her, to deal with her."

As we grow to an adult phase, we have to become more independence. If we have close attachment to our mother, people will see us as a spoilt person, unmature one. So in order to seek mother figure that reflect secure feelings, we substitute that mother figure to another things which is called by mother archetype. Mother archetype is our built in ability to recognize a certain raltionship, that of "mothering" (my dictate-by Mba Della). Even when an archetype doesn't have a particular real person available, we tend to personify the archetype, that is, turn it into a mythological "story book" character.

For me, my blanket is my mother archetype. When i was a child, i slept in one bed with her till my teenager moment. I feel so secure cause she's around me. So after i'm adult, i seek those secure feeling n i found it with my blanket as a substitute things for my mother presence.

SO....What is your mother archetype??

Cinta - Love

the most touching things....she is so tough and reminds us that nobody is perfect, except the Lord, but the little imperfection of our beloved one makes them so perfect in our lives...sometimes we look the imperfection as something annoying that make us want to take a distant or bored with our couple, but look friends...maybe when she/he isn't around us...is the imperfection that made us miss them? i like how the way she said "Beautifully imperfect", it's the best way to feel grateful of imperfection of our beloved one..

Just reat the end of the video..u will see some text so touching which reminds us what we should do to our beloved one while their still alive...
let me translate for all of u...

we don't know how long our couple will accompany us
if we still have a change together..
just love...
respect...
be grateful
for the most beautiful blessing in our life..

Rainbow

I am not really a fans of rain....for me...rainy day is identic with mellow feelings. It makes me feel lazy and sleepy. It makes my environment looked so glommy.I don't like go outside my house if it's raining cause it makes my outfit wet and i don't like to step on wet land, a.k.a "becek". But anyhow, i realize that rain is a blessing to earth. It gives water so our earth has sufficient water supply during the dry season. For some people who doesn't like hot weather, rainy day is really a blessing..the weather will be so comfortable. Yeah..it depends on our point of view to see the good things or bad things from rain.

What i want to say in this entry is there is something that i like after the rain. It's rainbow. It's coloring the sky and reminds us about good things that we will see after something gloomy. Oneday, after my internship program at May or June 2010, i saw this beautiful rainbow in the sky after the rainy day. At the time, i really didn't feel good cause i had a lot of problem n my heart felt so sorrow. When i walked out the building, i really wanted to cry cause problem seems so comfy with my life so they won't go too far. When i looked at the sky, there was a rainbow. Suddenly i heared a tender voice spoke in my heart, "cheer up, there must be something good will be happened after the storm, keep moving, and you'll see."

Untill today, i still have a lot of problems..but when i remembered that day, i have a courage to deal with those problem cause i know there must be something good waiting for me just like the rainbow after the rain.
