Experience: British Winter Education Fairs - Meet British Universities workshop & exhibition on 22 November 2014

Hello ! finally i have a spare time to sit comfortably at home and write!
I've done not much lately,since college life is getting harder somehow ... but yeah, I spare a little bit of my time last 22 November before for a workshop & exhibition about British universities that held by EdUKindo.

So what is EdUKIndo? EdUKIndo works with the Indonesian and UK Education sectors to instigate and develop collaboration across a range of study and research areas. EdUKIndo works with a range of stakeholders in Indonesia to promote UK Education. 

or for short I conclude them as an organization in education sectors which provide information and etc. about study of Indonesian students to UK. Well, honestly speaking I clearly don't know anything about UK universities or how they classified their students academic ranking results, or how their program study running in each year, and their syllabus. I don't even have any idea about how to apply to one of UK universities or how is their scholarship works. 

So, from this workshop I actually just take a fortunate chance for myself, for at least having a little bit idea about how UK universities running their program and etc. I really feel like the dumbest and the most idiot person in that room when the workshop start and the speaker start talking about the whole UK universities running system and about how to apply on their universities. Oh my ~ the others participants was like so actively raising their hands up and asking few questions regarding the topic, while me sitting like an idiot staring on the screen blankly in awe and amazement. I just purely amazed with all the information that I just get! 

Oh, and since the speakers are coming from UK as well, they really have a very thick British accent, which also amaze me as well hahaha call me countrified but yeah I admit that I really lack of general knowledge about stuffs like these, so yeah I think it's okay to take this opportunity to learn something new.

The workshop itself take a place at Aston Denpasar on 22 November 2014, the workshop itself actually running since months before in some provinces in Indonesia, so Bali have their last turn of this workshop event. It start around 12 o'clock at noon and ended up around 5 o'clock. The workshop start by Mr. Steve Buckle give us some warm up about UK and some questions if any of us have a vivid idea about UK countries and so their cultures & traditions and he continue with other important topic about how to apply in Oxford and Cambridge also a little explanation about their academic running system,
a couple minute break before Mr. Merrick Davies from UCLAN university start talk about Why we should study in UK and what's the benefits after the two sessions of small talk around two hours, the workshop is finished and they start the exhibition. 

Basically the exhibition is about some of the UK universities opened up a stand on the place and each of the participants can come in every stand and asks whatever they want to ask regarding the university or how to apply or even take a look about what study programs that they have, it was pretty fun ! I went to every stand and have short look about their programs. and what interest me the most is their variations of their study programs. 

Honestly it's only because the curiosity who trigger me so much and not because I want to apply to any of the universities. Like University of Gloucestershire who offer me to get a creative writing major when I tell them if i have a dream to be a novelist or an author later or Swansea university who suggest me to get into TEFL major. But then I need to do my IELTS test first and get 6,5 points at least or for my case since I want to be on Creative writing, the requirement that I need to get is suppose to be around 7,5 ..... clearly hard. TOEFL is not really recommended anymore nowadays. 

 (Swansea university stand! , lucky Anjas is accompany me that day I'm not really feel alone :) ) 

 (Sheffield Hallam University stand) 

 (UCLAN University) 

 (Cardiff university stand, which is very crowd with girls, eyy is it because the representative is a handsome guy? ) 

Well, it's really fun experience tho, and I learn few new things that day 

Opinion: not a post, just a honest thought

(I've been so busy these days, and practically don't have any idea to write anything so maybe this is basically what is inside my mind now, which keep bother me recently) 

It’s pretty annoying when suddenly your inspiration popped up inside your head but you are not in the right situation to write what is inside your thoughts, well I have been experience that. Not once or two but almost all the times and it’s really upsetting me that those brilliant ideas went fly away with the wind….

Busy with other things that I should do at that time is my excuse toward this problem, working, study, or I’m on my way going somewhere…writing a little note maybe help but when most of the time I always busy on the way riding my motorcycle or busy helping the kids making their art and craft at workplace, writing notes is not really helping at all.

Moreover, I’m pretty unorganized with my belongings and I keep forgetting where did I put what is mine also adding another point regarding this matter. People around me always said that if you want to reach something that you love the most you need to keep practicing over and over don’t give up on your dream.

I do love a lot of things! Writing, dancing are two things that I love the most yet unfortunately and sadly I really lack of those skills, even though I really like these activities the most and I’m enjoying the most when I finished doing these things, I also feel pretty bad to myself since I need to struggle so much doing things that I love yet I can’t even really improve it.

I feel bad to even myself that I always gave up on what I like, to do another things…..

People are growing up, everyone does. And when you growing up and getting older and much more mature and wiser you will realize how you need to live in reality rather than keep dreaming and living in those dream that perhaps only a vague dream. You start to change your mind about anything about how you should live in this world how getting a stable job so you will have a stable income, relationships that you should care about with everyone because later you might need their help too in other occasions.

I’m in my 20 right now and I’m worried the most about that problem, it can help but soon of course I need to be one like that, or else other people will judge me that I’m not living myself well, unemployed when you graduated from your college it would be a nightmare to everyone isn’t it?

But really, I can’t really decide what I actually I want to be later, what will I become later when I graduated, what kind of job that I want to the most so I will do it happily.

Finding job is easy really easy I guess, you don’t have to get same job as your major in college you can work anywhere you want as long you have determination to learn something and work hard. I do have determination to learn everything and try anything in front of me, yet I can’t found the job that I like the most. I did enjoy my job but sometimes I feel rather sad about the thought that this is not what I really want…..

I really want to live my life to the fullest and try everything in front of me struggles and anything, I don’t want to get stuck in one place only and become dumb, some people might said rather than I’m a kind of people who love to do much things they maybe judge me as people who get bored so easily with one particular thing and changing her mind so much.

I don’t really care what people say thought, even it somehow really hurting my pride….I promises my dad to give me 2 years before I graduates to do things that I like the most, before I really need to get a stable job for myself and I very thankful that my dad say yes to my wish.

So now I think my work will be so much harder right now, because I need to start from the bottom now to everything that I loves.

Every decision that we’ve been choose always have a risks, those risks are the things that almost everyone trying to avoid…

But, what’s the fun in life anyway without problems & struggles isn’t it? 

Make Up: So, what is Kangen Beauty Spray

I’ve always wonder why’d we need another face spray when we can wash our face with face foam and put on face cream if the purpose of the face spray itself is for moisturizing our face, and make it brighter yet the price of one bottle face spray is not really cheap as we knew even the cheapest ones like Etude or Oriflame sells their face spray with not-really-cheap-price-for-a-cheapskate-like-me hahahaha. Well, there is another option of local traditional face spray which is not really pricey, but consider I don’t really know what the ingredients that contain inside the bottle so I decided to just not use any.

Well, thanks to Prilly Latuconsina instagram post, I suddenly feel so curious about this Beauty Kangen Spray (honestly speaking, I did feel like a commercial victim since I really bought this product because Prilly using it and hoping I can have nice skin like Prilly has) without really know what the benefit of this product, I just recklessly bought this product by clicking on the online shop that she tagged to her post. I did read a review of these products for a little while without really think what is these products actually are.

So, I bought two types of these awesome products the small bottle is the strong acid and the other one is the beauty water, to use it you just need to spray the strong acid first then continue it with the beauty spray before you start your make up routine putting on your face cream and etc. recently even though I’ve only use them for couples days I did feel the change on my face, like my face become more moisturize even I need to wear makeup for one full day  and I’ve not grow any pimples these days before my period like I always did, big thanks to these sprays.

So, what is Beauty Kangen Spray? I wonder….

Kangen Water is the official name of water created by Enagic’s innovative water ionization technology. The Kangen Water filtration system removes many harmful chemicals from tap water, and produces a more healthy water through the process of electrolysis. Easily say it’s an alkaline ionized water system. So this technology basically change the clean tap water into different types of water which we can use it for various different purposes including beauty treatment like the beauty spray that I use.

This technology become a really hot topic these days among healthy lifestyle, for some reason we’ve already knew that the tap water is a healthier option than soft drinks. But according to the Environmental Working Group, there have been 315 pollutants found in America's tap water since 2004, and over half of these pollutants are completely unregulated and can legally exist in any amount. At the current levels of contamination, the public is starting to question the quality of tap water and wonders if it is safe enough to drink. 

Based on these facts, it's no wonder that the demand for Kangen Water is constantly increasing. If it’s in America well you can imagine too, how maybe pollutants can pollute another tap water source in another country especially in developing country like Indonesia, which clean tap water is somehow hard to get in big crowded city – no offense.

This technology obviously different with reverse osmosis water system when you can change ugly water to clean water for drinking, yet we not really sure if this product can really decease chemicals contamination inside the water. But this technology works by changing the ph of the clean tap water itself so you can use it from various purposes from cooking, drinking, beauty water, or evening cleaning home.

Kangen Water machines work by applying an electrical charge to your tap water, and then sending that charged water through an ion exchange membrane. This will mix positive and negative ions within the water, which can help break molecular bonds on dirt, which is why it is ideal for cleaning and personal hygiene.

The Kangen Water will break the molecular bonds on dirt and oil on your face, keeping it clean, smooth, and moist. Rather than using harsh astringents that dry out your skin, or leaving a soapy film on your skin because your water can’t clean it all off, Kangen Water can help clean your face better than regular tap water.

It can also help you clean your home by loosening the molecular bonds between dirt and the surfaces you’re washing, attracting it like a magnet. This way, Kangen Water can actually lift grime and dirt off surfaces, which makes it easy to wipe away. No need for dangerous, toxic cleaners, no need for abrasive sponges and frantic scrubbing.

Kangen Water is also better for personal health. While drinking tap water is better than buying soft drinks, it’s still not the safest it could be. Recent investigations revealed that tap water in 42 states has been found to be contaminated with more than 140 unregulated chemicals. Local governments do their best to make the water safe, but the water ends up tasting chlorinated and unpleasant to drink. Even well water isn’t always safe, especially homes that are close to farms and animal production facilities with chemical and animal waste runoff.

A Kangen Water system, with appropriate filters, can clean up contaminated and polluted water, removing the chemicals, bacteria, and other unpleasant little nasties that can cause ill health.

Even bottled water isn’t always a viable solution. It costs more, creates further environmental damage through creating and disposing of the bottles, and believe it or not, is not always free of contaminants. Studies have shown that one-third of bottled water contains levels of contamination that exceed allowable limits.

The  name of kangen water itself are coming from Japanese origin which mean “to restore” when I first buy these products I thought Kangen as in Indonesia “missing you” hahahaha no wonder I find it really weird at first.

The technology itself cost too pricey for me to buy, hahaha obviously I will buy one if I have enough money but yeah since I don’t might as well now I’ve just buying this product from online shop, the cost of one packet of these lovely products are not too pricey, is up only until 150K or so you can easily find it on Instagram online shop or any other online shop since I can’t really found one here (feel free to drop comments down here if you know ones) they sell it in different packaging just make sure they have certificate that they really use the technology. It will so not fun if they just fill it with normal tap water and selling it as it was a Kangen water, but whoever once have tried Kangen water before must realized how is the difference between Kangen water and normal tap water one. My friend said they also sell Kangen water for drinking here I need to try it soon hahahaha.

Yet everyone have their different opinion, some says this technology are useless, which this technology are not that great and not giving an obvious and significant effects to heal disease or treating illness, but everything need a process isn’t it? It’s for you to decide

Opinion: What makes best friends, “best – friends”

(click here for audio vers.) 

If there is a question that asks me about “who is your bestfriend is?”
I do really can’t tell, for me is kind of difficult question to answer,
mostly, because this is a really sensitive topic for me.

Well, having friends or making friendship with everyone is easy and that’s not really a problem for me too, I’m the type who can easily making friends with each other around my age, despite that I’m somehow a timid person and having a difficult time to approach a new people first.

And don’t get me wrong perception about being friends and just acquaintances there’s a really different line between them, and I don’t really need to explain it, do I? basically there are three significant factors to make friends first one is proximity, which means being near enough to see each other or do things together and then, repeatedly encountering the person informally and without making special plans to see each other the last one is opportunities to share ideas and personal feelings with each other – as it quoted from wiki

But for me, to find best friend is rather difficult…

way…..difficult to emphasize it, moreover for people who not really open up about their own self.
Everyone have their own way to describe what best friends is

Yet, for me best friend is the one who will show you their true selves and with you they will share their deep secrets and once you know it you will try to learn and accepting their flaws, vice versa. That’s what I think shape a friend as a best friend.

But, you know… everything need a time, no one will become best friend for instant right, not the superficial ones at least. To accept their flaws, their personality, their habits or even intolerable habits, what they like and what they don’t like.

I’ve always remind myself, that is not about how long you’ve been know each other and how much you spending times with them but it’s about how you not giving up to understand each other, which the whole process on it is the thing you should really proud of, when you able to change someone and change for someone.

For short adjusting for each other

Being best friend doesn’t mean that you need to have the same opinions about everything is about how you try and learn to respect them and vice versa, a best friend won’t judge upon your mistakes, a best friend are always be the one who will genuine to you so don’t expect about they will always say good things about you or they will always agree with you (who does anyway)

they will say truthfully about what they feeling toward you for your own good, they won’t giving you crap sweet talk covered with honey for your liking.

Remember, no friendship is perfect there will always the time when one of you will mess the friendship, but it would only didn’t work if you don’t try to understand each other and gain trust to withstand with the problems no matter what, and each of us won’t become the best for nothing isn’t it.

You’re my best friend and I happy to have you 

 Thankyou, Goodnight <3 

Opinion: Out from your comfort zone

Have you ever feel so suffocated in one place or condition where you always have to be there? 

The feel like you want to letting go the pressuring aura and the stressed feeling around you because you have to be there like every day, take an example like when you are in a clique or a group of friends that you always go hanging out with them almost every time.

Truly you will ended up so attaching with them since you guys getting out and doing lot of things most of the time and do all the fun parts, sharing stories and jokes and everything, isn’t the feeling is amazing? That you have these friends to play with you?

But what will happen, if in other times there’s trouble occurred in this friendship? It might be really okay if it’s happen once or twice isn’t it? (Oh, come on there’s no friendship without flaws isn’t it? I do believe  when the time come there will be misunderstand or miscommunicate happen in a way) and once you and your friends settled it back, everything will be alright and come back to normal or your friendship will way stronger than before. That what’s usually things works in a healthy friendship.

Make Up: NIVEA Lip Balm Series

Hello, how many days since the last time I've promised that I will do some updates on my blog? Hahaha sorry can't keep it up on my promise :( (busy schedules, and blah blah blah) so anyway I've decided to write 6 updates at the time but I'm sure it will be too much in one go isn't it?

So for starter for this July, let's do a little bit make up review again :) this time - lip balm !

Lips is an important part of human face /? so that's why putting on a lip balm to keep your lips moisturized and prevent them from dryness is necessary. Because the skin on the lips is like none other on your body. It has no sebaceous glands, which means that it cannot make its own oils to keep it moisturized. It also has no melanin, which gives it no natural protection from the sun. The skin on the lips is also much finer than the skin that covers the rest of the body, which is why it can become chapped and peels so easily.

Opinion: Being mature

I just don’t understand why some people can be very blunt and stupid and not even understand the situation.
But called themselves as a mature one, I remember the quotes that says “Maturity doesn’t define by age” it’s really right and does make sense. I do encounter with lots of people who act like this, (is not like I define my own self as the mature one too, but at least yeah I try to be the one instead of keep bragging that I’m a mature person)

Make Up: BB Cream review

Hello, I think it’s been a long time since the last time I update something in this blog.
Today I will do a little bit review about my newest BB cream that I use recently.

Well, I’m not some short of beauty blogger or makeup artist or whatever you called it. Especially my makeup kit are not that expensive, I mean, I only use the average one because I don’t really putting on heavy makeup every day or full makeup, since I’m working as hotel staff. That would be so silly if I’m putting full makeup with my thick eyeliner or red lips in my uniform.
 

So yeah, my every day makeup usually consist of thin layer of bb cream some powder , lip tint and eyebrow pencil, voila~ that’s all. Unfortunately it will be completely gone by my sweat around 12pm and I don’t even bother to retouch my makeup back. Hahahaha

Learn how to: Ddeukbokki + Chapagetti = Ddeukgetti ???
