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!

More selfie, okay?

Self love.

Everyone have the goodness and badness inside our soul. Nobody is truly 100% good and vice versa. So how did we sometime express our emotion when we felt so much negativity? of course our bad attitude that we hide inside our soul (no matter how innocent and kind you are) - it will crawl out from your soul and express it. And that is what we call "mad".

Why do I bring out this topic on my blog? not that I should have talk more about fashion. But I like to getting more personal, when posting something on my blog. About how I felt these days, weeks, months and years. Somehow I like to write a story about myself and what I am going through to relieve and satisfy myself.

Back to the topic "Expression". When you are mad, how do you hold it up so far? are u the type of person who like to keep it to yourself, getting away, getting alone, express to the person or directly express how you felt - confront? or you will get mad and then forget it or even you will remember it for the rest of your life? For myself, I like to be alone for a while and then i will confront it later on. Because when we are mad, we can't control what is on our mind and what is right or wrong. And you will just blame it into one thing, or this selfish emotion came out from our soul and we will think that we are always right. Even though I do try to control to be alone, sometimes I am uncontrollable and speak whats on my mind right or wrong which ended up hurting people feeling. So yes, I still have lots of rooms for improvement.

Expressing my thought on the blog help ease my mind of holding up everything. The feeling of Disappointment and getting mad at ourselves or even the feeling of powerless can happen anytime at your lowest point of life. Now i do feel that i am reaching to the age of mid quarter life crisis, when we are forced to choose our path and decide what we are going to do for our career. And mostly we are pushed to grown up and learn that not everything can go smoothly as planned. Cause we may stumble upon rocks, we are tested - are we capable of going through this rocky road, are we ready to let go something that you treasure, do we have the hearts to do it all? can we really control our emotion of how the image of Adult should be?

But back to my point, there is nobody perfect -
And what we can do is learning and growing, to become a better person than we used to be.
Take it slowly, don't push yourself so hard and end it up hating yourself instead of self love.
Aren't we human? Aren't we allow to make mistake? Aren't we allow to learn?

This post should be a self reminder that we shouldn't let we hate ourselves for being in a way that we shouldn't be. but as a reminder that we promise to grow and learn during this hardship process that we are going through (close your ears from people around you that share lots of negativity about you) and focus on loving yourself - seeing the positivity.

Indecisive thought

It's never to late to greet happy new year 2018, right? even I am 5 months late for updating my blog.

This time I won't list down any resolution but I will push myself towards the better me instead of getting skinny. I do blogging when I feel like I want to share some of my deep feeling through words, not just for review or showing how passionate I am with fashion. And now it is a perfect time for me to share some of my deep thought during the last few months.

One month from now, I will be twenty five years old - and to be honest, I am still lost in this complicated mind. What do I want? Who I want to be? What can I do? Am I in the right path? Is this what I want? The future seems scary but what should I do? Am I ready for this?. Growing old doesn't mean I know what I want to be.. And taking a leap seems scary even people often say.. it is your time to not be in the comfort zone. Time doesn't repeat, you can't go back to the past. The only thing I am sure about is, I have to travel & save up & do my bucket list (watching concert). I know I am not that typical 25, that you expect that I am the adult and I know much more than the kids just like what I imagine when I am still a kid/teenager. But it is proven that I am very wrong..

Another things that bother me is people perspective of judging. It's kinda hard for me to accept, if what people thought of me is wrong. I know it very well again now, wherever you go - we will always be judge even what we do is right. There is no right or wrong. People judge. Come on Veronyca you can do it, let it be and only you who know it is right and try to take it positively instead sucking myself to negativity.

Hairstyle, I cut my hair shorter and loving it. Still into grey and purple but I figure it is better to save my Money for something more useful and I am kinda like my current hair too. As dualipa style is my inspiration aww and I'm liking her hairstyle and fashion and music.

I am struggling with beauty product, really its hard for me to find a proper skin care that will suit my skin. removing blemish and acne scar, oh my god. I have committed and my a promise to myself, if I ever find a skincare that can make my face back to normal - I am gonna keep promoting it and do my very honest review. My skin type is combination, more to oily. And the ordinary is not suitable for me.. which is sad and it makes my skin breakout.

Early marriage is not my thing. I won't settle till I get what I want and be successful (more money). I will never be a housewife - I just can't .. unless I am marrying a prince lol. Cause having you own money is better, you save and you spend on what you want, instead of asking your husband to pay for everything you want (it's not good). I am learning a lot from my boyfriend of who taught me how to be independent women and a women with career & goal.

Fashion, some people think I am weird in my choice of outfit but I am not. The only thing that keep me lively in this city and working is my passion in fashion and photography. I am more active in my Instagram, and it is wonderful how this passion lead me to know more about people who share the same passion as me and the way we wore and style our fashion is just free. I get to know wonderful people and learning more about people with no age limit. And getting older will not stop me for exploring and styling my kind of own fashion - I will keep sharing my passion and yes I am working on my youtube video very soon (my first lookbook video) with the help of my friend Cinthy Kwok. Yuhuuuu.. ok I will I will let you guys know once its up !

People, I am still grateful of all the people around me and still stay with me through up and down of my twenties. And personally, I never forget the people (my close friend) that who makes me feel free and how to be my real self even in my worst mood or happy. You guys are the best, in your twenties - it is really hard to find a true friend. And I am grateful I have them.

Me and Jessy Xu

Crossing the road, ok I am afraid of crossing the road alone. Before reaching 25, I will share my current lookbook ootd shot with my talented friend Bryan Jonathan ! And THANKS to him, I got to try something new like our current shot with the background of our hometown "Medan". People who look at us will think.. we are crazy. Are they not afraid of getting rob? and if we actually take care of our hometown, everything is not scary as it seems and our crime rates will not as high as now. Walking the streets in our hometown even scare us, and all of us prefer using grab/taxi to anywhere instead of walking down the pedestrian path. If you look at around, some corner of our city is not that slack and here is the shot that I get with the background of our city "Medan". (fyi: it is so hard to get a shot in the zebra cross, red traffic light - these people don't care and just go straight pass the traffic.."speechless"). ok, here it is:

What I wear

Top: Monki

Skirt: Pomelo Fashion

Bag: Pomelo Fashion

Blazer: KelnTai

Shoes: Vans

Rebellious heart

A little break is good enough to ease your state of mind.
Well it happened almost every year ever since I graduated from my degree. Every time of the year when it comes to my birthday, I'll be very very gloomy and unstable. And turn out this year, I have a very hard month to go through. I don't really understand myself to, so I was wondering around doing my hectic job as an analyst to distract my current state of mind. I don't even do any outfit photoshoot as seen of my rare post in Instagram that mostly during june-july, I posted the throwback picture.
I may lost, moody, overthink, procrastinating, sensitive towards anything, clumsy, uncontrolled emotion, wildest imagination and many more.

Sorry for the negative thought for the introduction part of the post.
Just to let you guys keep updated, what happen during my blogging break time. I was fighting my own self and emotion, being negative all the time. Not in the good state to write a blog, well maybe reaching 24 years old is a little harder for me to accept. Being actually young adult, not that rebellious teenager anymore! So yeah, more responsibility and thought that I think that I will never ever think of in my life.

But well I did past the month of July, and able to do a photoshoot with my friends. This time I'll be just stay true to who I am, what I like, what I love. That "Rebellious teenager" ! I Dye my bleach hair into ashy purple and ready to rock just like a Kpop girlband Blackpink (maybe?) . Never too old for trying out something new and show my love to street style. I am not a feminine person, so for me to pose freely in a feminine style is quite challenging. But for street style, I just go with the flow and dang it, I can't hide my over excitement feeling when I saw the result. Guess what? Being who you are is a privilege of lifetime. Even till now we all hides those true feelings inside that tiny boxes inside you and keep them safe. In order to not get anyone hurts, or even yourself. We all have that wildest dream, thought and feelings deep inside that you can't control but you keep it hidden. No one is perfect. Yes, this is part of growing up to be better and maybe when the time has come where you actually able to express it. You have nothing to fear anymore, and being true to yourself, being who you are.

Here are some snaps from my latest street style photoshoot. I pair my fav lazy to go t-shirt with corset and oversize jeans jacket with ripped jeans and platform shoes. A touch of pink sunnies and hat to show a little different color tone and not too mono for white and jeans.

Special thanks to Jessy Xu & Sanny Xu for helping dye my purple ombre hair. And the make up by Jessy Xu. Thanks to Tiffany Kongadian for dragging me out from my comfort zone and it was a fun photoshoot with you. Many more photoshoot to come !

Blogging is one of my way to ease my hectic mind. And being true to yourself is one of the greatest thing you can achieve. Hopefully I am able to share a very positive content in the next post. till next post - adios.

XOXO,
Veronyca Sufry

Red Line

Hi readers, finally Another fashion post is UP!

April is a bless month for all of us, since there are 2 days public holiday that happened to be in Monday! So .. say no to Monday blue. And I have some time to went out of town and spend more time with my family which came all the way from Thailand. What makes me more happier is that I meet my cutie little niece (my brother daughter). They are staying here for 2 weeks and I am ready to do my duty as an aunty HAHA. Well beside doing my duty as aunt, not to forget that I have to keep my style ready and never go out of style. 

I went to Samosir Island with my family and trust me, never go to Samosir Island for 2 Days and 1 Night - it's a mistake. Your energy will drained even before you reach and enjoy the beauty of Samosir Island, I suggest you should go for minimum stays of 3 Days 2 Nights. This trip took 4 hours by car to reach Prapat from Medan, and what make it longer is that you have to wait for Ferry to load your car and cross lake Toba to reach Samosir Island. You have to queue up and wait approximately 2-3 hours. You can imagine how tired I am waiting inside the car, one by one. 

Since I am on the vacation mood and I will spend more time playing with my niece so I decided to wear something comfortable casual but cool at the same time. As you know I love to explore any kind of style, I still have that swag style inside of me that I can't let go HAHA. Even some people will said that my look is weird but who care?! let's go with it, as long as you have the confidence, every outfit you wear will be a showstopper, stylish, cool or whatever you call it. Confident is the key!

I choose one of my fav red color tee that I got from ZARA. I mean I think T-shirt is a must have item for all of us, you guys must at least own a t-shirt with brighter color other than white and black. Try to avoid buying a so so quality white t-shirt, because it will turn yellowish once you washed it above two times unless its a from a very good material, quality and brand. Once you got that cool fav go to tshirt, you may start loving how it can mix and match with any style but still comfortable to wear. 

Jogging pants, ok this is 2k17 trends. This year trends is toward athletic/sport wear and how to turn it into a cool kid style. You can refer to the fenty x puma fashion show, or since the era of turning running shoes into a casual look. We are now exploring to the other athletic items into fashion masterpiece. 

Corsets, this is a must have item for 2k17 trends. Call me crazy yes its all started from Givency fashion show starring Kendall and Gigi as their opening. Then Kim Kardashian who become the biggest influencer and when she wore Givenchy corsets - it just stunning and get a lot of attention. turning corsets as a must have item list. And trust me, you'll see a lot of dress/top that coordinated with corsets as their design in 2k17.

Lastly, you can't complete this athletic / sport look without your fav sneakers and baseball cap! Ok , I admit baseball cap is to help me cover up my bad hair day. so its win win solution for my hair and style.

Without further wait here it is my sporty cool looks, feel free to comment below:

What I wore ?

Cap: HNM

Sunnies: Sunnies Studio

T-shirt: ZARA

Jogging pants: HNM

Corsets: Apparel After Dark

Sneakers: Nike Airmax

My pillar of strengths, I feel like I have to post some memorable moments with the one I love - my family. Precious moment when I saw my mom and dad kissed their one and only grand daughter. its kinda remind me how time flies. This will be a good reminder for myself in the future to remark this post as one of my memorable moment. Three years old Alyzza Hanara Soh.

Ready-set-go, last photo of this post will be four of us. Ok I took this photo using self timer. Family bonding - The Soh Family on vacation.

XoXo
