Bonjour NOVEMBRE!

November is in the house y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm turning 27 this November....yesss, 27...what a number

When I was 17 years old, pretty much naive, mumbling about love, and spend most of times by sitting in front of large TV and goof around..I used to fantasize about being a successful business woman, happily married to a handsome guy who basically have everything, living in a great castle with 2-3 beautiful daughter/son.

I can't hardly wait for my "grown up moments" to come... 

Never occurred, not even just once in my fuzzy mind that by being adult, I will have tons of responsibilities..and it won't be that easy looking for Mr. Right Guy in this not-so-simple world. But hey, I was just a teenager, who wears braces and wishes someday Johny Depp will say "Marry ME PLEASE!!"..So, I thought, having a wonderful perfect life is as simple as counting 1 up to 3...

Besides, my mom has succeed nurturing her children by far..then I guess, being an adult is that easy..

When most of my friends spent their times by partying here and there, enjoying life, I was too busy designing and preparing my future (or that's what I thought)..

I didn't even realize that I lost my youth just by dreaming of "grown up moments"

And now..here I am...

Disappointed enough knowing the fact that Johny Depp having children from Vanesa Paradis (come on Johny, you choose Vanesa over Kate Moss and Winona ????)

Working from 7AM-4PM as corporate slave!! 

Can't stop thinking of how to pay next month bills (or nex week bills)

Clueless about motherhood

Lived in a house purchased by my parents (not a castle..btw, who still lived in a castle nowadays??)

and next thing I know... I'll turn 27 this month...

what a number...what a life...

Am I happy now compared to 10 years ago?

I am sooo grateful with my life...God is kind enough to me..

Of course my life (now) is not perfect..

But I'm pretty much happy with it

Being an adult is not like doing math..

Its like eating yoghurt in a hot sunny day

Sour yet refreshing

I will turn 27 this year!!! and I'm happy with my life

that's what matter most..

 

Graduation Cupcakes for Sweetest Sister

My sister (the one and only) graduated from College...

I'm so proud of her!!

Sadly, I couldn't attend her graduation day
Since, she loves sweet flavors (ain't we all??), I decided to order cupcakes for her.

In Jakarta, its not that easy finding "the best cupcakes in town", but then I remembered Becky. Becky is a wife of Nourie's cousin (Ivan)

Becky just started her own sweet business from home called Jollyroo
and yes, it is the best cupcakes in town!!!!

Delicioso!!!

I ordered 1/2 doze of red velvet cupcakes and 1 box mini cupcakes (blueberry, carrot, red velvet, chocolate).


You should try them...Jollyroo cupcakes are moist, baked perfectly, taste extraordinaire..magnifique!!

Love is a Losing Game : RIP Amy Winehouse

For you I was a flame ..Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came ..Love is a losing game

Why do I wish I never played ..Oh what a mess we made
And now the final frame ..Love is a losing game

Played out by the band ..Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand ..Love is a losing hand

Self professed... profound
Till the chips were down ...know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

Though I'm rather blind ..Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind ..Love is a fate resigned

Over futile odds ..And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame ...Love is a losing game

 -Amy Winehouse - Love is a Losing Game-

I ADORE HER!!!! and now...she's gone, Rest In Peace AMY!!! 

The Ship Song

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around

We talk about it all night long
We define our moral ground
But when I crawl into your arms
Everything comes tumbling down

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Your face has fallen sad now
For you know the time is nigh
When I must remove your wings
And you, you must try to fly

Come sail your ships around me
And burn your bridges down
We make a little history, baby
Every time you come around

Come loose your dogs upon me
And let your hair hang down
You are a little mystery to me
Every time you come around
