I'm so sorry I am late. I arrived at 12 after dropping off my aunts at their house.
Update: -I chickened out and wore the Freitag bag to hang out with my mom -I did an hour of boxing so I don't feel guilty for eating 4 times today -I'm going to Bali next weekend -I'm probably going to Europe this summer for the 4th time in 5 years -I think I might have fallen in love with someone who is a complete douche Urgh. Oh hi, how are you? Whatever. Yeah the last one. Wanna know the story? You know what I don't care what you want to hear, I'll tell you anyway. I liked M since the first time we talked. However, I only realized about a month into our friendship. He'll ask me to be his partner in numerous projects, do homework together (by Skype, once, LMAO), etc. One day, he just started being distant and cold. I got got over M in around February because he said something inappropriate about me in front of the whole class and said I should be thankful as it is a compliment. Well at least I tried to. So I avoided him for the past few months and I had just recently reconnected as friends. The only problem is, my mind automatically sees him as the same guy I used to like. It's been wired like that already. I really can't completely get over him. I like guys who are a little assholey with a soft side when in private. I hate romantics. I have a sense of mistrust towards romantics. I always feel that it will wear off. This is the reason why I like these assholey people as I feel that they are the most honest. Maybe it's just me. The thing is, he's the only one who fits my criteria. He may be a pest or an... a-hole... sometimes, but he'll always ask me what's wrong if I look blue. And his a-hole persona has a certain charm to it that is just so rare and addicting, unlike some real a-holes. He's a ...nice a-hole. People tell me to choose someone else like some of my guy friends, let's call them AY and BA. AY is too much of a gentleman and BA is so, sorry, annoying. Plus, they're like brothers to me. There are other eligible guys too. The guy who fans me when I feel feverish in class. The guy who puts a smoldering room from across the room and talks to me after class. However, I don't want them. I want M. He's the only one for me. Honestly what is wrong with me? Logging off. Ciao, Ki

13/4/2017 0 Comments Mom vs Luxury Goods (Blog Post 12)Hello again. Things have been quite lovely recently.
My relatives from London visited and we had a merry dinner the other night. I started talking to one of my past crushes again and things went... well, it was fun catching up. Mpok also went to pick me up an adorable new Louis Vuitton bag which says "Why yao-yao so cute?" I'm planning to wear it tomorrow with my outfit for lunch but there is just one problem: my mother. Just for you to catch up, my mother and father got a divorce when I was 4. After forbidding my dad from marrying for almost a decade, I let him and Mpok tie the knot as I was starting to sympathize with my dad as I knew what it felt like to have a massive crush. The thing is, my parents (Mpok and my dad) are, yes, a bit skeptical on providing me with luxury goods. However, they do buy me some things that I can't afford with my monthly allowance from time to time as they knew that a little bit of exposure won't kill me. I mean, who wouldn't love those cute little Fendi Monsters or a pair of vintage Manolos? However, my mother is totally against me owning any of these things. I mean, she gets triggered by the fact that I own a Coach purse. COACH. What will she say when I head out with her tomorrow carrying a Vuitton? Literally everytime she visits my house, I would hide away my Fendis and Furlas. It's not like she doesn't own any luxury goods. From what I know, she has a Piaget stashed in her room somewhere. And I'm not allowed to have a taste of lux? It's not like she had a hard life when she was little. Heck, it might have even been more luxurious, judging by my grandfather's estates and assets. Mpok says that I should stop pretending and let her swallow the truth. I am, indeed, a little to the materialistic side. I've been exposed to this lifestyle since my early childhood and more so recently with the Bentleys and RRs and all, I can't just stash that side of me away somewhere. However, I don't know if I'm ready to "come out", if I'm ever going to be ready. I really need to get some rest now. ciao, K 11/4/2017 0 Comments Blog Post 11I apologize for not writing yesterday, I had a ton of homework to do, which had me staying up all night. What can I say? Yesterday didn't go too well.
So I went to school yesterday. No, I'm not fully recovered. Yes, people took notice. What better to top off a heavy load of schoolwork than being avoided by your friends? Half of them refused to make any direct contact with me. What worse? Half the class believed I got chicken pox despite having no marks left behind by the measles. The he only good news is that I don't have to take the biology quiz I missed. I just need to show my doctor's letter and it won't be counted as part of my CA marks. Yay! I do need to study harder to get good grades for the next quiz as with this quiz not being counted, my next quiz will be worth twice the marks it should be. However, I really need to catch up on so many things. I missed a whole topic in chemistry and a part of the respiration chapter in biology. I also forgot that I had to do my English speech and it didn't go well. I GOT A 70 I NEVER GET THAT BAD! I'm gonna have to be dropped off soon, logging off. Ciao, K 8/4/2017 0 Comments Blog Post 10I haven't gone out of the house since Wednesday. 3 DAYS.
I asked my friends for homework. Nothing. I asked my teacher for a makeup quiz. Ignored. How am I supposed to make it through this last quarter? All I did today was lie in bed, watching some YouTube videos while sippin on some coconuts. No kidding. I tried doing some history homework and did like a paragraph from 6 essay-type questions due on Tuesday. I'm still in question 2. Rest in peace. Thing is, I procrastinated a bit too much and when I did start, I needed to ask for the format. So I asked the history group chat and everyone just decided to ignore me. How brutal. I also finished she's the entirety of Gossip Girl in under one month. Whoop. Should I be proud? No. (MINOR SPOILER ALERT) I must say, I don't get why people hate the Dan and Serena thing so much. I mean, what Dan did was nothing compared to what Chuck did to Blair. Now don't get me wrong, I love Chuck and Blair and yes, they are my favorite, but I don't see why people hate Dan and Serena so much. My face is in ruins right now. It doesn't look that bad but the texture is just... No. Just HELL NAW! Nevertheless, nothing's been happening in my life. Logging off... Love, Ki 4/4/2017 0 Comments Blog post 8Hello again. Sorry about the recent slacking off thing going on. Truth is, since school is starting again, I have to limit my posts to every other day. Sorry guys!
School has been crazy... and it's only been one day! I had so much holiday homework that I needed to catch up on and I already have 3 presentations scheduled for the first 3 days of school! Crazy! I already got got a pile of homework to do: math, history, English, etc. I really need spring break to be much longer, I need time to do the things I love. I mean, when else can I sew? This quarter will be hella hectic. I have national exams in a few weeks and I haven't even started studying for it. I will also have my finals around May and, believe me, it is not pretty. Well it is only the hardest school in the area. It's no wonder so many former average and below average student become achieving students once they transfer schools. Well, we hope this will get us through life in a breeze since they do make us work under pressure in a pretty young age. I need to finish off my math booklet now. Ciao, Ki 2/4/2017 0 Comments Blog post 7Yesterday was not good.
It started off well. I rick-rolled a bunch of people and got some people's hopes up telling them that school is postponed, only to reveal that they fell for an April fools joke. Then, I had sushi for lunch. Lots of uni, wagyu, toro and foie gras. Still, nothing bad, all good. In fact, it was a culinary fairytale. Then I went home and finished up my math holiday homework, only to find out that I've been doing the wrong worksheet the whole time at the last question. Okay here's the full story. A few days ago, I was notified about an unknown math holiday homework. So, I went ahead and ask my friends to send me the questions as I didn't bring the handout home. Thankfully I did bring the foolscap pad as I have to answer in foolscap paper. So I got it from my friend who got it from another friend who also got it from someone else. For the past 3 days, I tried to finish up the homework. However, last night, just as I was finishing off my last question, one of my friends who also did the same wrong worksheet notified me about this error. So all I did for the past days were all for nothing. Nothing. Nevertheless, I managed to finish everything in 20 minutes, God knows how. Now I'm free-ish, other than the A math, history and English homework. I'm still not feeling that well yet so I called the masseuse over for the second time this week. Well, I should enjoy the last few hours of my holiday. Logging off now. <3, Ki 31/3/2017 0 Comments My top 5 favorite comfort foodsWell, at least I can speak now. Nevertheless, I still am sick. Yes, there are a lot of major downsides to it, but there are a lot of benefits too. These include: free pass on sleeping in all day, an excuse to ditch workout and the feasting of comfort foods. Ah, comfort foods. My personal comfort food favorites include these 5 foods: 1. Boxed Mac and Cheese There's something about boxed mac and cheese that just makes you feel better. 2. Indomie These Indonesian instant noodles are my favorite. I usually opt for the Mi Goreng variety.. 3. Lasagna It's like cake made of pasta. Pasta cake. Of course you'll feel satisfied after a helping of these. 4. Mashed Potatoes A classic thanksgiving food perfect for any day that's not necessarily thanksgiving. Creamy fluffy mashed potatoes are one of the best comfort foods out there. 5. Sushi It's lightness and presentation (it certainly is colorful) is sure to leave you refreshed. Disclaimer: These pictures are not mine. Yep, I found them in Google images. :D
30/3/2017 0 Comments Blog Post 6Yep, I'm still sick. i actually am experiencing a really bad headache for the last, say, 8 hours.
It it has only recently come to my attention that I have homework. Just what a sick gal needs. Ugh. So, today I finished only 7 questions in my math homework. Yikes. The problem is, I left my notebook at school and I have probably done more then half of these questions. But nah, I have to do it all over again in loose foolscap paper. I hope I don't lose that by the time I come back to school. Other than that, I still have 6 history essay-type questions (the ones that take 3/4 to 2 pages each), about 10 more A Math (the A means "additional" in IGCSE dictionary. However, it means "abnormal" in mine) questions and I still need to memorize my English presentation. My topic is "Why we are all slaves to the economy," for some reason. I chose that topic because I feel like I will be able to make a point. All my friends are talking about conspiracy theories and stuff. Therefore, I intend to impress the class and get a distinction. Yeah, I'm gonna mess up and my friends will call me a hypocrite for dishing on the money system. I also discovered how to peel and cut apples today and chipped a nail doing it. I just applied some base coat so that I could paint it later but now I have an uneven manicure. Nevertheless, I clipped my left ring finger and it now looks unnoticeable, kind of. I'm falling asleep as I type due to the Actifed I drank. I'm gonna log off here. <3, Ki The one thing I brought home from my trip (other than Batik)? A cold, a pretty ugly one.
Thank god I didn't go anywhere today other than my grandparents' house, which is only a 2 minute walk away from mine. I spent the whole day doing my English and Chemistry holiday homework and replicating patterns for sewing. As you can tell, all this don't require much talking which is a huge plus as I lost my voice and sound like a dying sheep. However, I did have kickboxing lessons again today with my PT. I was obviously not feeling to well so I got a little discount on the sets yay. Moving on, sore throats are the absolute worst. Here are some home remedies for it that you may have laying around in your kitchen: 1. Okay, this one is kinda different and not everyone will have the items required to make this homemade cough syrup. You will need - spoonful of sweet soy sauce (the kind that is thick and sticky), and a little squeeze of lime juice. This stuff is nasty but it works wonders for us Indonesians. 2. Gargle a mixture composed of a cup of warm water and a teaspoon of salt. This aids in decreasing the swelling in your throat due to the water retaining qualities of salt. 3. Get into a sauna or boil a pan of water and hover your face above it to catch the steam. It will hydrate you as the dryness in your throat is a main cause of the itch. 4. Drink anything with honey, ginger or both. Boil some water with some ginger. Next add honey to the ginger water and serve while still warm. These are just some of my favorite remedies to sore throat. I am now gonna have a long beauty sleep and hope to wake up with a clear voice. 28/3/2017 0 Comments Blog Post 5Whoops, I fell asleep yesterday before writing this lol.
Good morning to the ladies who lunch! I'm back in the capital city, the city of malls! I went home yesterday to my personal trainer waiting for me to do some cardio kickboxing. I woke oke up in the morning to my baby brother sitting on my neck and grinning at my face. I never thought I would say this but, it is true, babies can be creepy. We we went and ate at Soto Kadopiro again and continued on with Batik shopping. My Mpokee purchased three different hand-painted patterned pieces of cloth while my father and I were just trying to keep my brother from injuring himself like he did the other day, leaving him a a scar on his forehead. We then headed straight for the airport and waited in the lounge for an hour before departing Jogjakarta. I must say, it is great to be back home, more so if you don't have your PT waiting for you. |
