Quarantine with Quality

Hi everyone,

I am back to do some posting on 2020, wow like finally I am back into my blog.
I know it's been some time, I have been busy with my job for the past 2 years and I really can't wait to share update on my life. So many things has changed for the past years, not just my job but my personality.

I think I am doing a great job for everything that has changed and the decision that I made in my life with no regrets. To be honest, I just celebrated my twenty seven years old birthday in quarantine alone in Jakarta (not my hometown).

Brief update, I have been moving to Jakarta for almost one year ! I have been traveling non stop last year in 2019 and since covid 19 is here, everything just stopped. 2019 was a hectic year for me and it game changer for me as well. I have learned that I have so many things to do and achieve, to be independent. Finding out about myself, what I want, who do I live for? for myself or for people?
And I realize I have been so coward of never able to take the decision of what I wanna do and become in my life. What I want to achieved.
So yes, I move out from my hometown and chase what I want before I regret the things that I will never able to do in my life (stuck at hometown and never move from my comfort zone). One of my dream is I get to travel around the world, explore new places with the help of my job.
Even right now, I am not able to be a travel blogger / fashion blogger that work in a fast paced from one fashion week to another fashion week or earn money from blogging/vlogging. I am grateful enough that my previous and current job has brought me to new places (travel). I have been travelled to Yangon (Myanmar), Lampung, Semarang, Surabaya, Kendari, Banyuwangi and Bali.

I would like to share maybe some shot I had about the beautiful places I have ever been and include the good food, in a series of post? maybe in my blog, while quarantine with quality ! I have to be productive right? COVID 19 has brought some time for us to reflect and do what we might never know that we like it or we are capable of. Some of us become a home chef, a baker, a painter, learn new languages, gamers, cleaners , decorating, more blogging and many more.

I acknowledge that I have become someone that love working out, cooking, cleaning my space (this one I am still struggle), which I never expected that I am gonna be able to complete a one month work out set from Chloe ting and learn cooking from youtube HA-HA !
It's like this quarantine time has pushed us that we are capable of doing anything by ourselves. Being independent and rely on yourself, that is what quarantine has taught me. While doing work from home !
But one more impact that I have not mention that quarantine has brought me into more online shopping. Not just online grocery shopping but to some unecessary stuff such as more clothing, props for photos, skincare, decorating stuff (frame), kitchen tools, furniture and many more. I hope I am not alone feeling like this, finger crossed!

Anyway, Just to liven up the mood for this post - I might share some of my productive activity while in quarantine. Which is *drum-roll* .... self potrait with my own crafts decoration on my small room in J-town. Well I hope I can do more self portrait or even blogging as well, I will put it on my list to-do for the weekend.

Promise me, don't judge me when I am with my camera.
All the props big shout out to my friends.
Lipstick: I am wearing the one that Nathania gave me for my bday present.
Backdrop: From my two Xiao mei mei (Rachelle & Fony) My bday present as well.
Tripod: From Jessy with special request HAHA - My bday present as well.
Ring light: From Tirza - my beloved mei mei for my bday present as well (short story idk who is this gift from at first and I was confuse HAHA - it is a surprise).

I felt thankful and grateful for this year birthday that I got so many gift from my close friends and how they shared their time to call me and gave me cake. I guess my bday doesn't feel that lonely as long as I have them ! The cakes, The gift, The foods - yes spell it right food (I got free breakfast, dinner, frozen food and drink). You know who you are ... I can't spell one by one but I am really grateful despite of the pandemic. You guys still brighten up my birthday and I wish this pandemic gonna be over soon, so we can celebrate and have a drink together.

p.s: Sweater is just a perfect wardrobe to wear especially during quarantine!
