Well hello darlings! 

I'm back with listing interesting stuffs I stumbled upon recently. 

Since I have lost both of my Siberian Husky in 2022 (I didn't lose them at the same time, this is a story for another time when I'm ready), I'm still obsessing over Siberian Husky items. Such as this one and this one who looks like Chewy also this one and this one who looks like Lowy. 

But I also love this tiger bricks. 

Such GORGEOUS Christmas trees! I'm In love, love, love! 

I'm a fan of impressionism style paintings, Van Gogh obviously my ultimate favourite. But for living artist, I love Erin Hanson's paintings. They're beautiful and she creates mosaics of bold and soft colours that beautifully capture the patterns and textures of her objects in each paintings. 

As recreational tennis player, this Adidas tennis shoes look comfortable and have cute colourway (my colours).

This wedding dress is so extra (in a good way). 

I'm a sucker for espionage novels. If you're like me, check out this list. 

I'm so ready for this event. Who are you rooting for? 

Another great actor passed away, rest in peace Adan. He was great in Designated Survivor tv show! 

This great news making me smile ear to ear. 

'til next week! Toodles!

Well hello darlings! 

How I've missed blogging. I am estatic that I could squeeze some time for blogging, simply because it is difficult (for me) to maintain the consistency of a blog. When I have free time I usually just grab my cellphone and then scrolling down my instagram feed, where I'm following more than 800 accounts and most of them to me are inspiring and fascinating. The people I know personally on instagram probably around 150, the rest 650s are strangers and I love it. These beautiful strangers are husky owners (my favorite!), my favorite bloggers, famous people, home and interior inspiration, travel-related accounts, brands I love, online stores and people who take amazing photos. 

I must admit, instagram is without a doubt, my favorite social media platform. What is yours? 

But anyways, here are some links I found this week (and the weeks before *teehee!) for us to enjoy and to keep on our browser bookmark! 

Zee Avi launched a new album, get it now! I adore this album! 

I want to try them on my nails!

Well hello darlings! 

I've been busy taking care of business that my cousins and I just started. A lot to be taken care of however since we are passionate (well, I know I am!) with our work, time goes by so quickly and didn't feel tired nor bored at all. Thank God. Anyways, I'm going to hometown sweet hometown this weekend with my cousins Lala and Milka for a couple of days. So excited, it's been too long since the last time we went to our hometown together. I hope all of you will also spend the weekend with your loved ones at some lovely places too!

Hello darlings! 

This weekend, my husband and I are planning to spend some quality time with our families. Probably go out for culinary trip around town or watch some movies at the cinema. I haven't seen "12 Years A Slave" nor "Robocop", so it's going to be either one. Which one do you recommend? 

And for you my readers, whatever plan you have for this weekend, I hope you'll be happy and smiling ear to ear just like our cute friend the seal. Isn't the seal adorable! I'm melting inside.  

Anyhoo, here's some fabulous links I found on the internet to be shared with you all. Enjoy!

Fabulous Friday Finds: Our Fifth Anniversary

Well hello darlings!

Above image was my creation and my first attempt doing calligraphy / typography or whatever it is called. I know it is very messy and way imperfect yet I'm quite proud of myself! I think I want to learn how to do it beautifully and in the right way with the right tools. Let's see if I could find the place or tutor for calligraphy in Jakarta. I am beyond interested! I used a pencil only (nope, no brushes nor ink pens just yet) and didn't actually plan to write my husband's and my name, however when I was done, I thought this would be very fitting with today's Fabulous Friday Finds theme...

Today is our 5th wedding anniversary, so today's links would only be about Jonah and Amara. ((:

Play this song while reading this post. She's one of our favorite female singers and we went to her mini concert in Jakarta two years ago. We love her. 

We love this article and the quote.

Our wedding.

One of our favorite eateries in Jakarta (or Tangerang).

Hello darlings! 

This is a scheduled post, meaning this was written few days before today, simply because I'm off to Singapore (yes, again) today. Meeting my husband again, eat my favorite foods (I won't go crazy as I did last time, I promise) and visit new places in Singapore. I hope all of you will have a wonderful weekend wherever you are. 

Here's some lovely links I found for today's post to start your weekend:

A lot has happened in 2013.

Just to name a few: my husband finished his flying school, my husky Lowy's eye worsened due to glaucoma, my dear aunt Lientje Worang Sakaguchi passed away, went traveling to Singapore (again and again) and to Japan, Jonah got his dream job (as a pilot of course) at our flag-carrier national airline, ran my first 5K with Jonah and that I've also grown a lot as a person and more confident than ever of who I am; that I am deeply loved by Jesus. 

Basically there is a lot more to write here and I seriously could turn this into a very long post - but needless to say the year 2013 was unforgettable and life-changing. I know Jonah and I are on the right track and that Jesus holds our future. I learn to take each day at a time and not let tomorrow's worry rob me of today's peace and joy. 

So without further ado, here's some lovely things I found to share with you the first time this year. May  lovely things keep on coming to us all.

16 unique and amazing hotels. My personal favorite is the one in Finland.

This skirt! Wow.

Hello darlings! 

Are you a risk-taker or safe-player? I think I have been a safe-player for serious matters most of the time and occasionally a risk-taker on fun / harmless craziness. It is very comforting in being a safe player but it's also extremely fun and dangerous to be a risk-taker, but I guess once in a blue moon we all probably should try to be a risk-taker just to add more spices / sparks (whatever you call it) to our daily routine and activities, again, in my opinion. 

I'm not going to reveal my fun / harmless craziness here on this blog *grin* , however I could share the feelings I experience. Yes, my "20 seconds of insane courage" moments made my heart beating so fast like it could literally pop out of my chest, but the big laughter after the "20 seconds of embarrassing bravery" moments were priceless! I called them "my fun and silly things I did when I was young and will be the things I smile about when I'm old and ... *ahem* ... wise". *lol* I was really insanely courageous when I took those "leaps"! However, that was before I got married. Now I opt to always be a safe-player eventhough I secretly wish that I'd have "20 seconds of insane courage moment" when I'm at this parasailing facility someday. I hope I'd be brave enough to take that leap and overcome my acrophobia.

So what about you, darlings? If you haven't done those things, are you going to challenge yourself today, tomorrow or some time in the future or are you pretty comfortable being a safe-player? Whatever your decision is, I hope it brings you happiness and in peace with our daily routine and activities.

Now, unto the links for this Friday...

Hello darlings!

So this weekend I'm going to just chill and watch Olympic matches (you can also watch the matches on youtube.com btw) at home. This Olympic has this effect on me, I'm going to find out where I stand, speed-wise, in 100m sprints and also 400m sprints. I've always been the fastest runner in school since I was a little girl and my last sprint was back in 2006 at my office's sporting event. I won easily, not exaggerating but if you've seen Secretariat historic win, the situation was exactly like that, only I was the Secretariat. *smugface* LOL! But as I'm getting older *sigh* I'm a bit skeptical that I'm still as fast as I used to be. Fact: I have never lost to girls / women, I only lost once to a man (my cousin Marcel, who runs as fast as a Cheetah). 

Lately I've been practicing a little with my huskies Chewy and Lowy but they always win! (;

Oh well, I hope I could record my time sometime soon. I understand Olympic sprinters run in about the 10-11 second range, I know I'm definitely not in their league, but it would be nice to know my own speed record. I'll update you guys the result soon! (: 

While we're at this Olympics topic, take a look at these hilarious Olympic divers moment on Zindy's blog. ((:

Remember this post? The same photographer, Grey Malin, took amazing photos of stunning beach scenes from a doorless helicopter. I'm so in love!

Well hello darlings!

What a crazy beautiful view, isn't it! I wonder where's the location since the person who pinned this didn't exactly mention it. This pic also makes me want to go on a little vacay so badly! Some of my friends had asked me to go Vietnam / Thailand / Singapore next month but at the same time my husband will be here in Jakarta. I'll have to take a rain check. Sorry, ladies... bad timing ):

Anyways eventhough there won't be any jacuzzi with killer view for me this weekend, I'll just settle with some good books I picked up earlier this week. That's good enough for me. (: I hope you'll have a pleasant weekend as well!

Links this Friday:

Take me to gelato tasting in italy!

This pair of sunglasses... It was love at first sight really. But then I found out Elizabeth and James has almost the same pair and cheaper (half the price). Gorgeous aren't they! 

I agree. 

Great for any homes with dogs too.

Words worth repeating.  

Herb garden in the kitchen? I love this!

35+ years in the making toothpick sculpture by Scott Weaver. And it’s kinetic.

Hello darlings! 

Don't you just love yummy desserts! Well, I do. I do love desserts. Although I have a wicked sweet tooth, it's discriminating. I don't like anything that's too sweet, such as sweet candies / caramelized apple (basically everything with caramel in it, so no Crème brûlée for me) / cupcakes with way-too-thick-icing. Just because it has sugar in it doesn't mean I'm going to eat it. Oh dear I hope I don't sound like a desserts snob. (; My kinds of cakes are cheesecakes (all kinds), tiramisu, red velvet and chocolate (esp. nutella) cakes.

Anyhoo... I always eat cake every weekend (not everyday, I'm avoiding diabetes lah) to keep my sanity and what I have been thinking about is which sweet treats I will indulge this weekend! Mmm... can't wait! 

Have a yummy weekend! 

If you want to try to make your own desserts, you might want to try this no bake cheesecake / pink vanilla pocky cake / tiramisu cheesecake / s'mores chocolate chip cookies

I want this tee.

I can relate to this very much. Happens to me everytime!

I'm so in love with this pair of sunglasses.

Gorgeous installation for Dior 2012 AW haute couture show.

Hello darlings!

Just like the woman in the photo above, I'm going to spend this weekend alone because my husband Jonah already went back to Lombok last Tuesday. Planning a relaxing weekend... Just me, my book and my striped tee (and shorts). I actually enjoy being alone, on my own. Eventhough many people / friends (yes, not just some, but many) think that it is odd to go to the cinema alone, eating at restaurants or cafe alone, shopping alone, basically doing everything alone, I actually enjoy it to the hilt! Yes, I'm alone but I'm absolutely not lonely, there's a difference. Do any of you enjoy being alone too?

Oh well, I wish you all a very relaxing weekend (: 

Oh wow... Hidden Pools!

Then it leads to King Kai Pool Float. Oh!

Welovekaoru. Oh yes I do!

I just found out about Spice Girls' musical, "Viva Forever". Interesting!

This beach is called Virgin Beach, located in eastern part of Bali, and it's one of my favorite beaches in Bali simply because the ambiance is still lovely and quiet. Dreamland Beach and Padang Padang Beach are just now waaay too packed with tourists and too many hawkers.

However, I can't wait to go back to Bali for a short vacay and visit Virgin Beach and my other favorite spots in Bali. ❤ Soon Bali dear, soon...

Hello darlings! I'm joyful to tell that I have fully recovered from my illness. So apparently I had measles! Thank Jesus it's in the past now, definitely not going to miss the high fever / sore throat / red spots and the itchiness and the meds!!! So I'm looking forward to a healthy and relaxing weekend. I'm planning to see some movies, probably Soegija or Snow White and the Huntsman or Promotheus... or probably all of the above. I love movie marathon and enjoy watching movies alone (but not lonely!). I hope you're going to do fun things too... have a good one! But before that, here are the links:

Well hello darlings! How have you all been? My life's been really wonderful these last 2 weeks since my husband is in town (yay!) which also one of the reasons why I've been lacking on updating this blog of mine. But don't worry, my husband will fly back to Lombok next week so I could go back blogging on regular basis. In the mean time, check out my fab finds this week! 

"The best tomato soup you'll ever have". I need to try this one, since I'm a fan of tomato soup. But by far the bestest tomato soup I've ever tasted was the one I had in Germany. Let's see whether this recipe will beat my version of best tomato soup I've ever had. 

J'adore. 

I can very much relate to Corrie's thoughts.

 Well hello darlings! I haven't blogged for so long (a week +) for a few reasons, first off: My husband is in town for a week now. But he'll be back in Lombok this coming Monday. Boo. 

Second off all, my husband and I have been busy spending quality time together, naturally. Long distance marriage is hard but we're coping with it quite marvelously, thank God. I truly learned that absence does make the heart grow fonder and to never take things for granted. And when I stumbled upon above quote, I smiled and nodded approvingly, yes we all have to just focus on our journey in life. Because joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it. That being said, may we all have a joyous life! Let's continue this journey with checking out some of my fabulous finds this week:

My fellow Mad Men addict, this is something we all must click! 

Martha Stewart's Fudgy Brownies recipe.

Cute stripes dress.

This might be useful one day.
