- cheese cake -

Hello everyone, I know it is been a while. However I really I do want to write more here this year as I always promised and hoped, but in real life I ~~fu*king~~ need much more time to sleep. I also need more day off to be honest. But, last weekend, after the end of month schedule, I give myself more time to watch something new, including movie and korea drama.

So happy that weekend I have some spare times to watch this movie, Story of Dinda: Second Chance of Happiness. Which is the sequel of One Day We'll Talk About Today movie. Some say it is the spin off with different point of view of Dinda and Kale relationship. Well, of course as I already reviewed before, there will be no spoiler ahead.

I really love the sequel of One Day We'll Talk About Today, so that is why I really want to watch it really soon as the other spin off released. Since it was so hectic on Friday, I watched this movie on Saturday in a hope I could have much more tranquil time to focus on it.

First thing first the one that come to my head is why the Director should be changed to Ginanti Rona, which I actually do not know about her movies yet. To be honest I put so much expectation about this spin off.

Casts

Dinda is played by the same person, she is Aurelie Moeremans. Which is of course I know her on Story of Kale, nowhere else. I love the way she build her emotion, she looks so naturally talking to other casts as it is not written on the script. But honestly I do not really like her character which is so complicated to handle her relationship problem. She may be so tired of it, but she was used to run away rather than talk about it, and in this spin off, which the writer wants to show the other point of view from her, she is really so complicated indeed until she met someone who is wiser and more mature by aged and experience, Pram. It played so great by Abimana Aryasatya. Of course I put much more expectation into it, since I knew some of his roles on other movies. I really like his acting, and obviously in Story Of Dinda he played his roles as good as he always acts. He acts as an independent man who is loved and loves his family so much, looks so wise at handling problems in his life and of course even give a help to Dinda as they met for the first time.

Although there is not much scenes, but Kale also keep well played by Ardhito Pramono. You could check other casts here.

Setting

I love the setting of this movie, because besides it takes indoor, it also takes place in a beach. I love it, how they took the picture from every angle. I also love the atmosphere in the Pram's house. It seems so cozy and comfortable, and of course it can boost the moment while Pram and Dinda talking something deeply one another, as there is something she should decide before the time runs out. Before she lose another chance to be happy.

Synopsis

It was started on the day Dinda still loves Kale as her boyfriend, the day Dinda still on his possessive arms. It was night in a club when Dinda met her friend, which is her ex boyfriend's sister. Without Kale's permission, obviously she is busy with his calls. More than ten missed calls from Kale, Dinda starts showing how overprotective and possessive he is. In other side Dinda always take risks by keep lying to him for every banned permissions. Until that night she met somebody who is more mature and rich of experience since he is already married. Pram.

With a little courage from Pram that night, Dinda finally starts to take her problem easier. She is braver at deciding something and setting up her mind. Day by day, Dinda keep sharing her love story with Pram as she feels much better after telling him about what's happening between her and Kale.

As they both realize how often they met and feel more understanding each other, Dinda is questioned whether she wants to leave someone she loves for another chance to be happy once more by Pram. As it is too early and suddenly for her to give him the answer, as always, the quiet and mature Pram gives her more time and space to think about it.

Rating

6/10. I definitely expect more than this. I mean I love the last sequel so much, and of course more than that, they have Abimana as Pram. So perfect, but not with the story line. I don't know why they just give us this slice. I mean, I did not feel the climax at all, so sorry. I literally keep waiting something to burst until the last minutes. I do not know. For me It feels like keep seeking the melting cheese inside a cake we eat until our last bite. Definitely no cheese inside. However the casts act so great for each character just like the sequel before, and then again sadly there is no original soundtrack that attract me at all.

Hello everyone, so happy that I can update as soon as I know the result of a product I have been used. But, still actually it is delayed because I got so sick last week. I got sore throat and ended up getting cough and flu as well. But of course, I still gotta go to work (yeah because as I know there is like no excuse for sickness reason sadly). Anyway, I got better this weekend and cannot wait anymore to be productive again. So, yeah here is my first post after a superb hectic and a lot of struggle this week.

I know I have told you how I really love Biore UV Aqua Rich Watery Essense as my daily sunscreen back then. But, as it was so hard to get the special edition, Peony, I decided to but the regular one. Sadly I do not think the material is so different but the finish of the product is so significant for me. I got oily easily after 3 hours usage, which so annoyed me enough. But, I did not end up with my first trial, I of course try to use it with or without moisturiser, serum and another daily skin product I used, but it is still too oily for my skin. So, I sadly decided to use another product. I finally try to use Loreal Paris UV Defender, which they claim they already improved their ingredients.

Packaging

I really love the packaging. It is of course their new packaging as they improved the ingredients. It is so light to bring, the shape of the bottle also so unique. It made of plastic but the thick one, however you do not need to worry to bring it while travelling. It also completed with a super safe lid. It is locked perfectly and also has such a tiny hole which we do not need to worry if we pull out too much product while using. I really love it. However it also do not need too much space.

Ingredients

It is also watery based. So it is save for daily use. It contains Ethylhexyl Salicylate which could help to protect our skin from the sunburn and other damages. The update ingredients is Airlicium, which could absorb too much oil we do not need to maintain the moist of our skin and also help to keep it fresh and matte all day even though we have a heavy activity under the sun. It also contains so many beneficial ingredients to protect our skin from UV such as completed with SPF 50+, PA+++, or you can check the details here.

Product Usage

I really I am surprised by the texture. It is so thick as we can see but also so quick to absorb into our skin. It is not oily and heavy at all. I of course use it three times daily. In the morning and afternoon after bathing and also once at noon to reapply after washing my face. I use it directly after I apply my moisturiser and then cover it with a very light compact powder.

Purchase

I bought it from Sociolla as always, since there is no shipping fee, hehe. I choose the Matte and Fresh because I think I will need the matter sunscreen rather than others. You can easily find this product in drugstore or convenience store around your place, or for safe buying nowadays, you of course can get it easily on their online store. I got it for IDR. 120.000 only.

I have been using this product for about a month and really love the improvement. I do not feel oily at all after more than three hours usage, and of course the texture can absorb quickly and no sticky at all. The thing is I really like the lid, it can control how many product we want and also can keep it clean from the untidy product after using. So far I really love this product as my daily sunscreen, I really recommend you to try it, but of course you can choose which one is the best for your skin, they provide the product with four needed, Matte and Fresh, Bright and Clear, Moist and Fresh, and Correct and Protect.

Oh hello, it is been a while, I do not post anything yet since my latest post. I know I have said that I will however post more often than before including random thoughts. But I really I have made my best to take my time for this blog and also to consistently write my daily update on my Bullet Journal. Trust me, I also skipped that part as well these past couple of months. I of course have my own reasons which I cannot share still, but there is indeed something I have to struggle a lot, just for a hint how hard I pay attention into it is I finally (happily) can tell you guys that without any diet method (but a very bad sleeping hour so far sadly) I have lost 11 kilos in these last couple of months. If you can guess, then yeah mostly because there is something I have to do with a lot of energy LOL. Physically and mentally.

Feeling so light nowadays to wear my old blouse and trousers as well, however I need to rearrange my sleeping hour and eat a lot of fruits and vegies in the weekend. I also need to do some exercise in the weekend as well. However I really feel so great this way. Anyway, this past couple of months I also have my time again to watch K-drama that I really want to watch before so, I will recommend you guys on my next post certainly. For now, I will happily share about my thoughts after trying this local lip product. Still going to be my favorite lip cream so far, know why I love this product below.

Packaging

Make Over actually have launched so many kind of lip products recently, but Make Over Powerstay Transferproof Matte Lip Cream series catch my attention the most. However the packaging looks like their old series which is Make Over Intense Matte Lip Cream. I have share my though about it here. I love the shade I mentioned on that post, but my latest favorite usage is combining the Pompous and Classic shade together. But for daily use I usually only apply the Pompous one, and by the end of May I decided to repurchase Make Over lip cream, but turned out I choose this new series. I love how they improve their packaging into doff finish (if I am not mistaken how to call it hehe) but we still can see the shade and the remain product inside. The netto also bigger than the Intense Matte series, but over all they are really alike. The applicator also so comfortable to use just like before. They launch this series with 12 shades as I know so far.

Ingredients

However they obviously improve their ingredients to make this series stay longer and transferproof just like how they claimed it. It contains Volatile Oil which can help the product ends with matte finish but transferproof at the same time. It also can help it set perfectly and quicker as well. It also has Pigmentlock Technology to help it reduce the smudgeproof. However with that kind of technology we also worry about how if they can make our lips getting dry and for the worst caused crack and anything. Do not worry they claim this product is paraben, sulfate and alcohol free. So I believe it would never cause your lips getting dark or dry for daily and long time usage. You can check the details here.

Product Usage

As I said above, the applicator however still helpful to flatten the product all upon our lips. But we have to carefully take out and put it back to maintain the neck of the packaging (you know which I mean right?) from smudge of the product (however it is the problem to have lip cream with this kind of packaging). I personally choose to use the product so light, because I choose the wrong shade, I actually wanted to buy the Amplify or Curious shade but turned out the stock still not available while my Intense Lip Cream is nearly gone, so I choose the shade Powerful shade in a hope it will come out just like Pompous (my kinda favorite shade all the time). But It come out brighter with a bit red instead, so yeah I decided to use it a bit and blend it with cotton buds or my (clean) finger tip to get natural finish. I do not need to apply any lip balm or anything before using it and happily it did not cause anything wrong. It also feel so light on my lips, even after eating soup, the color still stay on my lips. I spend more then ten hours in a full air conditioner area but my lips still fine with this product. I honestly did not need to reapply it after lunch, maybe I will need it if I have my early dinner.

Purchase

I bought it from their official store in Shopee, because there is free delivery fee hehe. But of course you can easily found this product in drug store, their counter of any beauty product provider online. I bought with special offer, it cost only IDR 97.000 from their normal price around IDR 120.000. If there is Amplify or Curious shade available I will definitely repurchase to get them.

I really recommend you guys, who do not have enough time to retouch your make up or reapply your lip product in a mid day. You do not need to worry even after lunch, you will sill found your lips covered by this lip cream perfectly, however if you use it well (covering your lips perfectly with this product in the morning) you will get it stay any longer. The big point is, it is the matte and transferproof lip product which can maintain and moist our lips from the crack and dry. I fell like use nothing all day and no need to reapply really often. I believe you will like it so much and going to confused which color should you choose, because they have so many daily and classy colors.

Oh hello everyone, it is been while since my last post. I really am sorry I did not post anything during March, because there is something I had to do. It is actually not over yet, but yeah since there are some spare time this Sunday, so let us make it. I really I hope can share it to you guys what was going on, but not now, this chance I will update you with my another skincare review. I have been curious about how would this product work on me, so I decided to brought it in the end of February. It has been a month usage so here are below what I can say about this product so far:

Packaging
The packaging of the product is so classy if I can say. I love the color they choose and also the size, I already had it for travelling and of course it did not need too much space but a bit more protection. Since the material is from glass, you have to be careful if you bring it along your trip. I recommend you to keep it in a pouch with sponge around. The pipette also so easy to use, since the texture is so watery we have to be more careful to use the pipette or your beloved product will spilled out. You won't meet any spilled product around the neck of the glass just like another serum with bigger pipette. Since mine is Brightly Ever After Serum, so it is in soft pink. If you need acne treatment you should have the soft purple one.

Ingredients
It contains of Glutathione, Niacinamide, Vitamin C and more. As you guys know how great Glutathione and Niacinamide for dull skin. It will maintain our dull skin get brighter and hydrated at the same time. It also help our texture skin smoother and soft. The thing is how it also help to hydrate my dry skin all day and all night without feeling greasy at all. You still can combine it with your moisturizer and sunscreen since it is so light even though the texture so watery. I am also fine with the smell, I did not think it contains any fragrance at all. You can check the details here.

Product Usage
As written on the bottle, it says that we only need to apply it two or three drops and massage into skin and make sure you give it time some minutes until the product absorb completely into your skin before using another skincare product. It also recommend you to use is day and night. I usually use three drops for all of my face, I use my palm to apply it onto my skin, because it is a bit hard to drop it directly onto my skin face. The product usually overflows everywhere since it is so watery.

Purchase
Just like another Scarlett Whitening Product, you can visit their official Instagram account. You will find the link of their official store on another platform. I got mine on Sociolla.com, I got it together with their lotion with a cheaper price, because on Sociolla you will get so many discount and even free shipping.

As I said above, I have been use it for a month. I really like how it can moisturized my skin and do not make it greasy at all for daily use even I use a thick sunscreen product. At night it also do not feel sticky at all. So light and absorb quickly since it is watery. I really am fine with the effect, it is not comedogenic just like my Wardah White Secret Intense Brightening Essence. But, It is still just it is. I do not find my skin get brighter, or maybe I have to use it more, maybe two or three months usage would give a better result. I really am fine with this product, although at first I really was anxious it will make me got pimple or make my skin oily. So, I recommend you guys try this product as well, and I hope my review can help you decide.

What a hard time we had in 2020, however do not lose hope and do not forget to be grateful for what you still have until now. So many lost out there, and maybe you are one of them. Be strong, however we do not know still what would be ahead in the next pages of life. I admit it, how hard it was for me to get through all of my day last year. I did feel so great to achieve something I really want the most and also lost the thing I get so hardly. I struggle a lot to get it before, mentally and physically.

Last year would be the greatest year for me to learn a lot. I tried my best to keep steadfast and accept all in once. Somehow we need to move forward as the time flies. So, as the tips I found on internet, I decided to look whether there is something I be able to do without going somewhere and of course, keep my mood good and pep up my day. Exactly writing on this blog is one of them, but I need something else which I can improve daily feeling as well, because it is so stressful instead if I have to post everyday here.

In the end, I found a fun way but also need a great passion and focus to do that, that is Bullet Journal. Journaling is actually the way we note everything we need, it is of course so personal. For someone maybe need that to note new receipt and the other one would need it as a diary and many more.

I found it on google, it says that Bullet Journal is an analog system created by Ryder Caroll. It can organized and track anything you would like to write in an coherent way. So, it is obviously a personal organization to schedule things, note reminders, track something and many more task as we need.

As you know now what is that, then you must be able to apply it for what it should be. It really does not matter what kind of book you use to practice it, but for me I like to design it a bit to make it more personal and fun as well. But for me, I like it simple so then I can recall the memories easily.

If you wondering whether this Bullet Journal help my day or not, I (after applying this method for about three months) certainly could say, yes! I really do improve a lot, to do my daily productive schedule and also maintain my bad habit as well. I also easily search something important I note and also get use it as a stress relief. The way I think about the template or design I want will also increase my focus and creativity, which you cannot get in other daily activities. You might also use your superb gadget to start journalling, but for me it would be more meaningful if you write it down on paper. Beside the satisfaction feeling you also can see the improvements you made even for a paltry thing, like your handwriting is getting better or your creativity is getting great. More than that you also can have your own unique way to recall memories and track your other improvements in life as I mention before.

So, try to start your own now. Do not create any reasons in your head that never been exist yet, so just start it!

Well, I know it is too late to review this series. But, I have tried to watch it a long a go, nonetheless I still could not get the way to like it. Until I tried to watch it lately, hmm yeah since there is no such a busy days still. I know there are so many new and so great series released this year (especially korean series of course), but this one still cannot go from my mind.

I know it is not a movie but a korean series or nowadays we call it kdrama, however this one is one of the best series I ever watch. So, I want to share to you guys here.

This series actually is a must watched one, if I can say. I do, I definitely feel so sorry and feel so bad for ignoring this series before. I actually was watching the first episode in the beginning of two thousand and nineteen and turned to stop it there, no more episodes, yet now I am still replaying the funniest moments everyday.

So, without further ado here are below my though about this series.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5182866/
Casts

This one is actually what made me think twice and more to watch the whole episodes. I do not really like them all, well although there is Sung Dong Il, who always successful in playing so many roles. But later, after finishing this series, I cannot move on somehow. The worst part of watching Kdrama series is you will seek another series which the character you like in. Yeah, I got this disease as well, guys. So fun(ny).

Since this series focus on family and romance genre which shows such a daily basic issues one another, there are so many casts participated. I will start from the rich family, Kim family, it consists of four family members, they are Kim Sung Kyun played as his exact name, Ra Mi Ran as her exact name as well, Ahn Jae Hong as Kim Jung Bong, and the younger son named Kim Jung Hwan, well played by Ryu Jun Yeol. They are all such a financial freedom family, as the wife well managed financially, this family is the one who has such a prosperous life compared to others. This family also showed such a harmonious family although it consists of various characters in a house. The head of the family is such a kind and humorous one, he always like to play and act such an attention seeker. While his wife Mi Ran, such a ignorance and always get annoyed despite of her husband acting every time. However they both love each other so much. The older brother Kim Jung Bong is such a unique person, he has his own world and was struggling to pass the college entrance exam, somehow he knows everything about daily basic that other members do not pay attention at. The last one is the smartest yet cool Jung Hwan, he represent a cool boy with warm heart. He loves his family so much although he never say it in words. He also often give a treat to his friends.

Since Jung Hwan family is rich they share the basement of their house to other family, Sung family. This family is so noisy. Sung Dong Il as the head of the family using his own name in this series, Lee Il Hwa as the housewife with her own name as well, Ryu Hye Young as Sung Bo Ra, the oldest daughter, Lee Hye Ri as Sung Duk Seon, and Choi Sung Won as Sung No Eul, the youngest and the only son of this family. However they are really not alike Kim family. Since their father had a debt so this family cannot get a proper house and always fight over their menu to eat everyday. The Oldest daughter is the smartest one who has such a big ego, perhaps since she is the one her family is the most proud of. She is so stubborn and bossy. While Duk Seon is the younger daughter who always got bad marks at school. Somehow she had such a big heart for always give in for her other siblings, and the youngest one, No Eul is just a kind hearted boy, he never arguing anything and seems to always avoid the conflict.

The rest are Sun Woo family which consists of Sun Woo played by Go Kyung Pyo, his mother and younger sister, Choi family that live in peace, they are Choi Taek played by Park Bo Gum and his calm father, and Ryu family, the only family which shows such a modern family, where the parents so busy at work living with their two sons, one of them is Ryu Dong Ryong played by Lee Dong Hwi, who always feels lonely and often eat and stay at his friend's house.

https://uk.newonnetflix.info/info/80188351
Setting

The setting of this series is mostly in their neighborhood, Ssangmun Dong and at their each houses. It also shows the old school building, cinema, and even studying area for public. It shows how their neighborhood are get along well, the ahjuma usually gather in front of Kim's house to have a chit chat while cleaning the vegetables or sorting fishes for dinner. They often talk about their own problem at home.

Some of the episode also shows the dialogue in a bus, there is also funny moments between Jung Hwan and Duk Seon while riding bus to school. In some episode also show how old cafe and restaurant ambience are so vintage yet so comfortable and romantic.

This series definitely is going to take you back in 1988.

Synopsis

Since this series have so many casts with very various characters, there will also be so many drama and conflict in between. I really like how the writer wants to give a strong message in each episode. So, it started in their neighborhood, they all five live together in the same block since they are child. The conflict in between is starting when they are in high school. Which means it must be the hardest time for everyone, trying to focus on their study but also controlling their first love attack. It was Duk Seon who get the Sun Woo's kindness wrong. She failed her first love and start to give up believing love. While the other side Jung Hwan cannot stop thinking about her, he even pay more attention and care so much with Duk Seon suddenly. However they always spend time together all five, so he is still enjoying to be Duk Seon's secret admirer.

Since the winter break is coming, they are all often staying together in Choi Taek's place. This most quiet friend is always be their youngest brother. Despite he quits school to be professional Baduk Player. That is why in some moments he always envy to his friends, who can be in a school trip and busy with exam. However he is a genius and awkward one. He cannot do daily tasks properly, that is why the other always keep and treat him as a child. Perhaps because he is the one who is struggling his life only with his father, since his mother passed away when he is so young.

If I can say there are so many important things happen in Taek's place. In his comfy room where all the kids gathered there are also so many secrets revealed. Jung Hwan found that Taek who seriously have his words saying love Duk Seon, because she is so cheerful and care about him so much, in the other side Taek also found that in silent Jung Hwan, who he considered as his hyung, has the same feeling as him to Duk Seon and also Sun Woo exposed has been dating with someone that the kids never imagine. However at Jung Hwan place there is the only place where Duk Seon and Jung Hwan know each other feeling.

That complicated feeling keep on going until they are all grown up. They seem become successful people and also each family are getting better and the intern problems are solved one by one. The last episodes not only reveal the ending for every heart trip but also shows each characters deeper. If I can say, why Jung Hwan always do not have a perfect time to show his love, is because he is unconsciously developed as an older character deep inside. He always wants to protect people around him and makes sure everyone is happy and fine. In other side, Sung Bo Ra who I see as the bossy and stubborn one actually so lovely and really do care with her family. There are still more values you can get if you watch the whole episode, make sure you watch it without skipping it and you will fall deeper for each character.

Rating

9/10. I will definitely play it all over again. This series could help you understand unseen problem around more. It also could slap you right away if you think you are the one who has the biggest problem in this world. You really need to check out the whole episode to find out how a simple misunderstanding could bring us to bigger problem and even develop us to be someone else. I really I wish there will be more series like this. Oh yeah, so sorry there is no ear catching soundtrack, but if you would like to check you can find it easily online. After all I do not care whether Taek or Jung Hwan would get their first love, Duk Seon, but I like Jung Hwan more cause he is so stylish. Lol. Pardon me.
