Hello everyone!
So, starting this month I've decided to post my monthly favorite things in my blog! It's simply because I really like to go back and find out about what stuff that I used to like. Therefore, I will dedicate this monthly favorites to my future-self, and also to everyone who shares the same interests with me. Enjoy~ ;)



This December hasn't really been the greatest month for me. However, I still managed to find some things to bring more joy to it. Here are some of the things that I enjoyed the most this December:


Zoella & MoreZoella Youtube Channel



I've subscribed to her channel for a while, but this month I really fell in love with her videos, because she was doing 24 Days of Zoella and Vlogmas to celebrate Christmas. I really love Christmas and the build up moment to it, so watching her getting all pumped up for Christmas was really exciting! I just can't wait to watch her videos next year! She also made me found a lot of amazing Youtube channels like: Pointless Blog, Sacconejolys, etc. I just enjoy watching a lot of youtubers' videos lately.
Check out her channels:  Main Channel (Zoella)  |  Vlog Channel (MoreZoella)


EXO - Sing For You - Winter Special Album




This month, EXO released another Christmas album and I was listening to it most of the time. My favorite songs from this album are 'Girl x Friend' and the bonus track 'Lightsaber'. I really love the melody of 'Girl x Friend' and the lyrics are beautiful too. I didn't really enjoy 'Lightsaber' that much when I first heard it few months ago, but this month I suddenly loved it very much. It made me anticipated Star Wars Episode VII a lot!


Star Wars



I hadn't finished watching all the Star Wars films before, but I managed to watch them all this month. I re-watched all the films within three days and I loved them. I really enjoyed watching Han Solo and Leia's scenes. I ship them so much! That's why I was kind of heartbroken when I watched the seventh film on IMAX (spoiler alert!). However, I think I really enjoyed watching Rey (since she was pretty and strong) and I just can't wait to see how this character will develop in the next film.



Throwback & Nostalgia

I cleaned my room and laptop this month, and I found a lot of memories. I was giggling and smiling most of the time when I found these old nostalgic stuff. I just couldn't resist to upload some of the old photos on my Instagram. I guess that's the fun of cleaning right? Finding your old stuff, full of past memories.


Michael Bublé - Christmas Album




It doesn't feel like December without more and more Christmas music! After watching Zoella's vlogmas, I was interested to have a go with Michael Bublé's Christmas album and I loved it! My favorite song in this album is Christmas (Baby Please Come Home). I was listening to this album on Joox App, since my iPhone couldn't synchronize with my laptop.


Allure Japanese Green Tea Latte



I never really liked green tea before, but this year I was beginning to like it more. I was looking for this drink for quite a while and found it this month. It was quite expensive but it's worth the taste.


Matoh Cassava Chips



My mother and I bought this chips in a market at SSCC (Supermal Surabaya Convention Center) and it was delicious! I was trying so hard not to eat them all in such a short amount of time. We bought a few flavors and I liked every single one of them, but I think the balado one is my favorite.



These are my December 2015 favorites. Hope you can find some new things to enjoy!
Thank you for reading. Happy new year's eve! :)










Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Wow! It's been quite a while since the last time I posted anything in here. This morning, I just randomly remember about this blog (which I completely forgot that I had, oops!), and I decided to write something here to share with you guys, whoever and wherever you are reading this :)

So, as you guys may notice already, another year is coming to an end. I don't know if it's just me, but as I get older, I feel like time just seems to fly way faster than it used to. When I was little, I could play all day long and still got a lot of time to do any other stuff that I loved. Now, I am working on my laptop for what feels like an hour and the sun will set already. Sometimes, I get a scary thought that I will not be able to do everything that I want in my life because I feel like the time is chasing me. I also fear that I'm not productive enough, I haven't done much in my life, I wasted too much time doing something, etc. At time like this, I really like to reflect on everything that has happened in my life, just to see how much I already been through, to reassure myself that everything is going to be fine and I'm just overreacting too much.

I remember starting 2015 with a new hope, a set of goals, and a prepared heart to face my thesis for my bachelor's degree. It was the final step to graduate from university, and I can't lie to you, I was really nervous in those early months. What I was grateful about is that I had a lot of amazing friends to go through it together. We shared the same nervousness, struggle, and success together. Some might remember their thesis moments being scary and stressful, but I remember it as a beautiful time when I could have some bonding time with my friends. Yes, I was in a lot of stress, yes, it was quite a struggle to finish my thesis, but it was an amazing journey because we did it together.

2015 is the year when I found love. I can't thank God enough for that, because He has sent me someone special to be by my side. I don't really want to talk too much about it, since it's quite private for me. However, this moment has changed my life a lot this year, so not mentioning it will be just wrong. I know I imply my boyfriend with 'someone special' here, but I think it doesn't necessarily need to be a boyfriend or a girlfriend, it could be anybody. Your parents and siblings could be your 'someone special', or your friends, your pets, your neighbors, etc. In fact, I have a lot of people to be thankful for this year and everyone is special. I think I just need to be thankful that I have so many people in my life that keeps me going everyday and are ready to help whenever needed. So, I sincerely say thank you to everyone who's crossing the path of my life.

Overall, in 2015 I faced a big transition from school life to 'real life'. I am still struggling with it, I still have a lot of worries about what I should do with my life, whether I have chosen the right decisions, and all those confusing questions about the future. However, worrying about it will bring me nowhere, so I decided to stop worry about the future too much and just do what I feel right at the moment. I think some fresh graduates will have this kind of struggle too, but since life won't wait on us, it's best to just keep on going and make sure that we're doing something which we won't regret too much.

2015 is going to pass and 2016 will be a new blank page. Let's take what we've learnt in 2015 as a lesson to have a better year in 2016.

Life is full of ups and downs, but I think that's what makes a balanced life.
Have a beautiful 2016 everyone! :)
