<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our life has been such a busy whirlwind juggling between designing for our thesis project, printing them out, revising the report, deciding on the merchandise, making presentation, buying tons of stuffs, visualizing the display, and basically everything that revolve around thesis. Also, plus working in the studio for Fili <i>((I will save that story for later)).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I kind of have a mixed feeling working on this thesis. My mood has extremely goes <a href="http://flyingfili.blogspot.co.id/search/label/TILT%20SERIES">up and down</a> as well as my level of productivity. It's true that I am working on something that I loved so much since I was young, it is something that I am extremely passionate about. But then again, sometimes it can be very overwhelming and I started questioning if I did make the right decision or if I did well enough to be proud of it. In one side, I feel like I want all of this to end as soon as possible, but in another side, I feel like there are gazillion things that I can do to perfect it or at least to make it better.<br />
<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's not only me, I think both Yelny and I sort of have the same feeling. I think when it will finally end up, it is going to be bittersweet. After all, this thesis marks the end journey of our three and a half years study in university. So it is kind of bitter to say goodbye to our university life, but in the same time, it is going to be so relieving to finally finish our study.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Actually, we still meet up a lot to work on our thesis together with our friend, Joan. Since I have to work three days a week which are usually Monday, Wednesday and Friday, we met up on my days off. We would usually pick a restaurant or mall or coffee shop and hang out there and work on our thesis. I was not a big fan of working together back then because it kinda distract me but doing this actually helped me a lot. Since we can not meet out adviser frequently, we got to exchange our opinion and suggestion to one another by working together.<br />

<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While I am not working together with Yelny and Joan, I love to be accompanied by music. I feel more energized listening to the songs while singing and <i>dancing </i>to them. If you know me, you know I love Korean music, so it is pretty obvious that K-pop is my go to jam. This song has been on replay from my laptop or phone because I just love D.O and his voice so much. His voice has always been my favorite out of all EXO members. And this song? Just, perfect.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike me, Yelny does not really listen to music when she is working on her thesis. But this is one of the songs that somehow always calm her mind when she is not having a good mood. This is not a very recent song but not that old either. And if you don't know yet, Yelny is a fan of Jay Chou. She said that Jay Chou's voice is so soothing and she especially loved this song because it has always been in her playlist from few years ago.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Okay, that's a little update from us. And bonus: here's a wallpaper made by Yelny for the sake of thesis motivation ^^ haha. We just can't help it! We love checking our social media so much and usually it takes so much time without us realizing it. So, maybe, by seeing this on your wallpaper everyday, you can hold yourself from opening those social media and focus on working on thesis to graduate. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We know that some of last year university students are also facing the similar situation with us. So, hold on there! Keep your spirit up! This too shall pass :)</div>

Happy February 25th! <i>Lol. </i>You must be wondering if there is anything significant on this date? Um, honestly, nope. haha. But it's two months after Christmas and it falls on Thursday, so it is quite appropriate to post a #ThrowbackThursday post I guess? haha. Lame excuse is still an excuse so yeah. Haha.<br />
<br />

<br />
Since I was a kid, I have always <i>always </i>loved Christmas! It is always, always the most wonderful time of the year! Same goes for year 2015 too of course. I love how everything is merrier and brighter and warmer. Merry as everyone is significantly more happy and more generous. Brighter as everyone is obviously smiling for little things around them. And warmer as friends get together and family gather to celebrate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
This year I got to celebrate with a few of my closest friends at a beautiful restaurant called Bistronomy. The ambiance is really beautiful and cozy. It has a vintage style which sometimes can be a bit too much. But everything is just nice here, so I felt comfortable spending my Christmas time there. Technically, none of us celebrate Christmas. That also kind of explain why we can come and celebrate with friends because usually people will go to church and celebrate with family. But anyhow, we joyfully gather in this occasion to celebrate the Christmas spirit and start the tradition of gift-giving. We saw that everyone is doing this ((I did one too with my colleagues at my internship place)), so we thought it will be a fun idea for us as well. Unfortunately, Yelny could not join us because she has already flew back to her hometown by that time.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wQ9WEYvSZVQ/VsXMnKCYLaI/AAAAAAAAA-c/abCRPKmyLtw/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-18.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wQ9WEYvSZVQ/VsXMnKCYLaI/AAAAAAAAA-c/abCRPKmyLtw/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-18.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
We began the celebration by having a lovely lunch here. I chose the ladies' lunch set which come with soup and tomato salad for appetizer, fettuccine and various bite-size dish for main course, dessert and drink. My other two friends, Joan and Sandi ordered another lunch set which name I forgot but has more dishes in it including steak and pasta too. <a href="http://alviansilver.blogspot.co.id/">Alvian</a> who we joined us last minute ordered salad because he was on a diet program. <i>Was. haha. </i>Lovy ordered a separate prawn ceviche for appetizer, lamb chop for main course and lime sorbet dessert which is tad too sour.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<br />

<br />
<br />
I honestly can not really judge the taste of the food here. Everything is nice and the plating is pretty. It is just that I think the food did not really suit our palate so we did not really enjoy the food that much. But it is fun to try on new flavor and eat fancy lunch on special occasion like this. Oh wait, there is one that I really liked but sadly did not get pictured which is the chocolate mousse! It was really nice and I am craving for it right now. Aargh!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HolOBETg_8k/VsXMuoPmY5I/AAAAAAAAA-c/vkKsrU5yS54/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-38.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-HolOBETg_8k/VsXMuoPmY5I/AAAAAAAAA-c/vkKsrU5yS54/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-38.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<br />
Anyhow, after we finished our lunch, we began the Secret Santa game. We have drawn the lot to determine who will give the gift to who on our previous meeting. The rule is that it has to be approximately one hundred thousand rupiah and includes a handwritten card! I am a sucker for handwritten card. It always feel special, don't you think so?<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B2gEZ024K9k/VsXM6UVmArI/AAAAAAAAA-k/56VgMhAqBT8/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-73.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-B2gEZ024K9k/VsXM6UVmArI/AAAAAAAAA-k/56VgMhAqBT8/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-73.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
So, here's what I got! Look at my major happy face! haha. It was a coloring book plus a cutely drawn Christmas card from Joan. Coloring book has been really trending lately but I have not got a chance to buy it yet because I did not think it was necessary yet. But now that I have got this as a Christmas gift, I think it is a perfect gift and I can't wait to make some time to color it <i>((gloomily stare at my thesis project)).</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RIMPXVUhNEI/VsXM-DyPSsI/AAAAAAAAA-k/sjaNP6p7bWA/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-84.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-RIMPXVUhNEI/VsXM-DyPSsI/AAAAAAAAA-k/sjaNP6p7bWA/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-84.jpg" /></a></div>
<i><br /></i>
And here is my gift for Lovy which is a small pouch with a girl illustration. I gave it to her because of a "small incident" when we traveled to Bandung. Her makeup stuffs kept on falling on the street back then because her clutch has quite a wide space for small makeup to slip off. So I gave this pouch to her hoping that she can store her makeup or other stuffs and it can become handy for her daily needs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sqinGmUnhAA/VsXM4he0EtI/AAAAAAAAA-c/B9__SHqON0g/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sqinGmUnhAA/VsXM4he0EtI/AAAAAAAAA-c/B9__SHqON0g/s1600/151225%2B-%2BChristmas%2Bat%2BBistronomy-72.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
If you are curious what the others get, Joan <i>((the one on the back))</i> got a tumbler from Sandi and Sandi <i>((the one on the front left)) </i>got a pair of shoes from Lovy. Sandi's gift was a bit unfair though because it exceeded our agreed number to spend on the gift. Lovy's excuse would be that the gift is combined with birthday gift. Again, lame excuse is still an excuse so, yeah. haha. Alvian, as said before joined us last minute, so he did not join us on this gift-giving process.<br />

Well, that was our fun and intimate Christmas lunch! This was the dessert from the other set which is chocolate cake with ice cream that is good. But my chocolate mousse is still better! So sad I did not take any picture :( Also, one funny thing, none of us planned to wear blue outfit that day. But we somehow did. Before we all met, I did send a message to Sandi worrying that if I wore blue it would make me <i>salah kostum </i>((wrong dresscode)) and became odd. Sandi said that he is also wearing blue. And it turned out that everyone was wearing blue! So it somehow turned into a Blue Christmas. In contrary, none of us was feeling blue ^^<br />

All pictures are taken by <a href="http://alviansilver.blogspot.co.id/">Alvian</a> who blogged about the day <a href="http://alviansilver.blogspot.co.id/2015/12/blue-christmas-luncheon.html#more">here</a>. Thus explaining the square crop and dramatic tone. The last photo is taken from his blog, it features a DIY Christmas card I made that I love myself since it looks like a wrapped gift with the red ribbon hehe. Last but not least, cheers to the Blue Christmas this year and hopefully the years ahead ❄<br />

<span style="background-color: white;">Happy Chinese New Year! T</span>oday is <i>Cap Go Meh</i> (the 15th day of chinese new year) which is the last day to celebrate chinese new year. So, I think I'm not too late to say Happy Chinese New Year to you guys. Cap Go Meh is actually the closing of chinese new year celebration. So, there are <i><a href="https://www.google.co.id/search?q=liong+pontianak&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=661&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj7wo-Xs4rLAhVLHI4KHQ29DbgQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=liong">Liong</a></i> and <i><a href="https://www.google.co.id/search?q=liong+pontianak&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&espv=2&biw=1366&bih=661&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj7wo-Xs4rLAhVLHI4KHQ29DbgQ_AUIBigB#tbm=isch&q=barongsai">Barongsai</a></i> festival around the city.

I was super excited celebrating Chinese New Year this year because I WAS CELEBRATING IN HOMETOWN (sorry for the caps lock cause I was too excited HAHAHA). I was so happy to meet my uncles, aunties and cousins again that I meet only in chinese new year. For the last 3 years, I celebrated my chinese new year not in my hometown. I have really missed the ambiance and the people's enthusiasm. That's why I was super excited to celebrate my chinese new year in hometown.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I grew up in a family that has very traditional chinese culture. And, my hometown has a majority population of Chinese-Indonesian ((that's why the name of <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2015/10/missing-hometowns-food.html">hometown foods</a> have the sense of chinese)) so chinese new year in my hometown is a little bit wow. Streets are decorated with red lantern, houses are decorated with chinese decorations, and everybody are wearing red. I saw many people ware posting about their chinese new year on social media, so I decided to share my chinese new year on my blog. </div>

People in my hometown called it as Basket Cake <i>(Kue Keranjang) </i>or<i> </i><i>Tiam Kue</i>. It is a cake that is made from glutinous flour and sugar, also, it has elastic and sticky texture. This cake is a mandotary cake to celebrate chinese new year. My mom said that this cake was a symbol of the sweetness because <i>Tiam</i> in Teo Chew means sweet, so this cake would bring the sweet moments everyday in this year. I don't really believe about the facts or history about this cake and I'm not a fan of this cake, I just want to enjoy this cake, but I don't really like it. People usually keep this cake in refrigerator for few weeks to months after chinese new year, but the texture will be so hard, so they re-steam it or fried it with flour and egg. </div>

I started my chinese new year by drinking sweet barley soup. This soup has been served in the morning on the first day of chinese new year. I don't really like this soup actually as it taste like drinking the rice water in the sweet way HAHAHA. This soup is also the symbol of sweetness for new year. </div>

Layer cake is actually not so chinese-new-year-cake as it also found when I come to friends' house during Eid Al Fitri and Chistmas Day. I heard that layer cake is one of the hardest cake to be made, so that's why the price is expensive. This cake was made by full fats butter and 30++ eggs, it contains with so many calories and fats. I really love this cake but I would not eat big size at once cause of the fats and calories that contained.</div>

Mandarin Orange is my favorite fruit besides durian and mango. The best part of chinese new year is I could find mandarin orange everywhere. My dad always buy two big boxes of the mandarin orange every year. Mandarin orange should be the healthiest food during chinese new year. HAHAHA.</div>

A lot of cookies and snacks were served to celebrate chinese new year. In the photos above, there are (left-right) pineapple cookies, cornflakes cookies, cat's tongue cookies <i>((lidah kucing))</i>, silk worm snacks, beef floss snack and snow white cookies. It's actually another cookies and snacks except in the picture, but I was too busy during chinese new year and couldn't capture all the cookies and snacks in my house. </div>

The chinese new year of this year was super great. I met a lot of family and friends who I have missed for a long time. We gathered and shared the story of our life while enjoying the chinese new year food. For me this chinese new year was the best moment as I have longed for 3 years. And, I hope I could share another story of chinese new year from my hometown next year. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have been debating myself all this time if I wanted to post about this thing. But after days and months of self-deliberation, I think it is okay for me to talk about this openly and to share a piece about my life to the outside world. It is also one of my goal <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2016/02/happy-2016.html">this year</a> to share stories and discuss things with you guys. The thing is, I just feel like I wasn't able to come up with something to begin with. I try and try and try to bring up words but nothing seem to be right. That's why, I borrow a quote that I stumbled upon somewhere some times ago that I can relate so much. This quote has been sitting on my desktop notes since God knows when and I think it is appropriate for me to use it now. In all honesty, I don't know who Neil Gaiman is, neither have I read any of his writings, but this, this excerpt of his really seem to describe how I have been feeling since, since I lost the love of my life. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Let us start with a little background story about myself. I was born on August 1994 as the second and youngest child of the family. I live in a modest yet loving and caring family. I grew up being spoiled like a princess and at the same time as tough as nails. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Some years later, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. And if you remember <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2014/10/be-fearless.html">this campaign</a>, it was inspired by my one and only mother. I was still young when I first heard about what happened, I had no idea what cancer is and how bad it would be. What I remembered was how my father cried when he told me about my mom's condition and I couldn't help but cry with him too. I did not know what was going on but I knew it was going to be very very serious. After that, my life has been a series of ups and downs. We tried any treatment from inside and outside the country, from traditional to medical, from the regular to the most expensive one.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My mom did survive when I was in junior high school. But, about a year later the cancer spread around her body again and it became much much worse than before. After that, it's like riding a roller coaster down. The doctors at the hospital gave up and suggested our family to have my mom spent her days at home in which we end up agreeing. It was very, very difficult seeing the person you loved so much who used to be very full of energy and happiness slowly wither and became weaker everyday. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">On May 2010, my mom was gone forever. It was very devastating but we all learned to let go. We told ourselves to believe that mom has now rest in peace and freed from her illness. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Life has to go on, so we moved on with our lives and tried to cope with the grief. It's tough for my father because he had to be a single parent. It's tough for my brother and I because we loss the figure of our mother. It's when we realize how hard it is not to have our mother around. She cooked very delicious food, did the laundry, organized the home, paid the bills, helped the store, picked me up from school, shared stories with me, baked the best cookies, traveled to places and so much more. Now that she is not here, like it or not, we had to do whatever she did by ourselves. But it's never the same. If it is not her, no matter how hard we try, it is going to be different.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">About two years later, things have become better, and we have adjusted with our life at that moment. It was exactly the moment that Neil Gaiman described in the quote at the beginning. At times, we still feel her absence, but it was okay. Everything was okay then. But, God might have a different plan for our family. It is a plan that never once I had in my mind.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">There was a lymph node on the side of my father's neck. So he took it for treatment. Instead of getting better, things were slowly getting worse. It was very tough on me because I studied in Cikarang and my family were in Jakarta. Ultimately, we made a decision for me to take leave from university so I could take care of my father and help the house too. My brother helped looking for the store while I did household chores. My father also decided to try an alternative treatment after seeing no result from the hospital. He tried so hard, I knew he tried very hard to fight his illness. It was getting into his lungs and he had trouble breathing to the point that he had to be helped by oxygen can. It was so hard on me for not being able to share the pain he was going through. All I could do was help him with anything he asked me to. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">If it was very tough on me, it must have been multiple times harder for him. He could not handle it anymore and we got back to hospital. I would stay with him every day and night on the side of his bed and in front of the ICU room. I would tell him stories, sing him songs, and pray for him wholeheartedly. I was so hopeless that the only thing I could wish was a miracle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can not explain how I was feeling that time. Right after that, it was a sudden realization that heavy burdens and responsibilities are all over my shoulder and my world is slowly falling apart into pieces. In all honesty, I was a bit calmer compared to when my mother passed away. I told myself that in a way, my father will finally be reunited with my mother in heaven, so it was a good thing for both of them. Or maybe, if you have experienced it once, you kind of know how to handle it next. It was really terrible. But time never waits for you. I have to take care of the hospital bills, the funeral, and stuffs. Of course I would love to thank my extended for helping me going through this time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, what happens next?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Well, again, life goes on. And you choose to either live your life miserably or learn to accept the past and live your life positively. Well, I chose the latter. In fact, I have always been making that decision ever since the nightmare first struck my family. It's not easy to be positive when the world you are living seems to only show you the negative. But when you are used to stay positive, it became a habit. I am a firm believer that <i>everything happens for reasons. </i>So whatever bad I am going through, I knew there must be a reason why things happen that way. Though sometimes I just can not figure out what the reason is.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Having both of my parents passed away in this phase of life is a bit awkward honestly. I was not too young so that I have to be taken care by my extended family. But I was not too old either or should I say mature to know about the adult responsibilities and stuffs. I kind of know by now why Peter Pan did not want to grow up. Being adult is not an easy thing, especially if you were only 19 years old, lost both of your parents and "forced" to be adult. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">To be honest, there are times when I made a scenario in my head. I would cut off all my communication line, pack all my belongings, and travel round the world. Well, of course I can totally do that. But I have to remind myself with the responsibilities I had now. I had to finish my university and graduate, I have to keep the ties between my family and my extended family and also my family friend. Even if I want to be selfish for myself, I can not be selfish for my parents. Even if they are not in this world anymore, their legacy stayed here and whatever we children do will always be reflected to our parents. Even if we want to act rebel and carelessly do stuffs, people will eventually bring up our parents. People can talk bad about me but I would be furious if they blame it for my parents. So the scenario never actually happen. It's just in my head. And if I ended up travelling round the world, it has to be the result of something to be proud of and not of a disappointment.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Now, it has been more than two years since my father passed away. If you asked me when I felt the loneliest, it is when I am going to sleep. No matter if I sleep by myself or with my friends, the moment I am laying on my bed and trying to sleep at night is the loneliest of all. It is inevitable and I just tried to console myself by reading funny comic and updating my social media feed.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Phew, it has been a long story, an emotional one if I might say. But it felt good to have shared my feelings and write <i>type </i>it down. With this confession, I am willing to share more insights about my personal life and how I cope up with it. But now that I have written this much I really did not know what to write anymore and I think it is now time for everyone to turn in questions that I can answer with a confession in the future.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Furthermore, I hope this writing inspire you to stay positive with whatever things happen in your life. Staying positive is sort of like a practice. And practice makes perfect. Eventually, it will become a second nature. If you yourself or you know someone who goes through the same thing with me, be it taking care of an ill family, losing his/her parent(s), having to suddenly be an adult, please share this writing with them so we can all discuss about this matter and support one another. It is always a good thing to have someone who understand your situation and is able to help you get through it even if it is only by sharing stories.</span></div>

I would like to begin this post with a confession. This post has comfortably sit in the draft for the longest time ever. HAHA. This event is dated back in November 2014! Yes, this is one story that I told you I still haven't shared since <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2015/01/happy-2015.html">2015</a> and <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2016/02/happy-2016.html">2016</a>.

So, this visit happened just a day after I watch the <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2014/11/i-met-kim-soo-hyun.html">Korean Navy Combat Cruise</a> performance and also the entertaining show performed by <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2015/01/the-painters-hero.html">The Painters: Hero</a>. The visit, I believe is part of the Korean Navy program, probably to introduce their Navy and also as the channel of education and information for ordinary citizen who is curious about how the Korean Navy Cruise look like.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Anyway, I went there with a friend of mine who also went with me to the event from the previous day. We almost gave up going there because (1) we woke up late and (2) the taxi that we booked did not show up even after thirty minutes! Back then there was no Grab or Uber like how it is now. So we thought that we could not make it anymore. The day before we were texted that the gathering spot will be in Mega Kuningan but what we did not know is that they were referring to Lobby Mega Kuningan in Lotte Shopping Avenue. We almost lose our hope and thought that we could not go but it turned out that the bus has not yet gone! I think we were both very lucky because after that, the bus went and off we go! Woohoo. Oh, in case you are curious how we can take part on the tour. All we had to do was just registering our full name and phone number and they gave us the confirmation message. </div>

Luckily there was no traffic jam so we arrived smoothly at Tanjung Priok Harbor where the cruise was. Oh, also, besides my friend and I, most of the visitors are school kids with their parents and teachers. I think one of the main reason is because it was held on weekday, even my friend and I are skipping class. <i>lol. </i>But maybe it was only in our group because when I saw the other group, there are couple of girls around our age too.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Upon arrival, we were divided into three groups of about fifteen to twenty people so we can simultaneously do the tour. I was in group A where we started the tour from the first cruise. If I am not mistaken there were two cruises that we can take a look on that day, or is it actually one cruise with two floors, I did not really remember ^^;</div>

As we stepped inside into the first floor there was this Korean guy who explained things to us in his good English and on top of that, he is good-looking too. HAHA omg. Also, the guy on the left is from Lotte Shopping Avenue who helped translate the English to Indonesian for the children.<br />

I honestly did not really remember what was explained on that time, since, well it was already more than a year ago. hAHA. But I think it was something related to the cruises that Korean owned and the country that the Navy has been to. We also went to the outdoor area with no cover and it was so so hot to the point that your shoes might stick to the floor if you stand too long. </div>

There was also this boat and while people were busy taking selfies, I was busy bombarding question to the navy guy. Lol. Like how he is actually serving his duty in army right now and actually in the middle of his university study. I was not familiar back then that Korean guy tend to start the first year of uni and then take leave to serve for the army and go back to uni after that. Also, when I asked why he chose Navy he said that there were more opportunities to travel overseas and visit countries like what he did at that moment. But the downside is that Navy obviously spend more time on the sea rather than the land. But he said he is enjoying it and he will end his army service by December that year, meaning that he must have gone back to university by now haha.</div>

After that, our group went to the second floor ((or another cruise I am still confused if they are actually one cruise or two? haha)). While in there, we were being escorted by another Navy. In this floor we got to learn more about Korean history and also the weapon that Korean Navy had.</div>

We went inside this air conditioned room where there are videos that showcase the miniature of the weapon and things like that. There was this middle-aged man whose name is Mr. Park who helped explain us the stuffs there though honestly I did not really understand about those things. Actually the other people from my group have already left but since Mr. Park has very nicely started a conversation with my friend and I, we can not leave just like that. He handed a wireless headphone where we can listen to the audio of the video showed there. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
He then tried to explain the Navy stuffs in English while looking at his notes. It was quite hard while trying to capture what he was saying. But then we talked about ordinary stuffs like if I was interested in Korean culture, I can easily hear what he says. I guess it was because he picked difficult words explaining the Navy terms haha. Anyhow, we talked about how I would like to visit Korea someday and how he said I already nail the Korean style ((because of my red hair)) and how he has just flown to Indonesia that day and join the Korean Navy for this visitation. After a brief conversation, my friend and I bid him goodbye and we catch up with the rest of the group.</div>

Not long after that, we just stroll around the second floor and head back down since it was so hot. This other Korean Navy helped escort us and he kindly reminded us to be careful when going down. I had a brief chat with him where he asked if I like K-pop and I said yes and that my favorite group is SHINee. He said he knew SHINee and agreed that they are a good group. He said that Indonesia's weather is very hot and I said yes, that's why I wanted to visit Korea and see snow! In the end, he offered to help carry my bag while I go down because my bag was very big since I brought my laptop and camera that day. But if I remembered correctly I politely decline his order.</div>

In the end, we went back to this spot which is like an open dining room and watch a documentary video while waiting for the other group to finish their tour. And being a chitty chatty person, also in my effort to get to know more about Korean people and culture, my friend and I decided to talk with some of the Navy and take pictures with them, including the first Navy guy who by far spoke the best English out of everyone. haha.</div>

It was a very pleasant visit and everything is coordinated very very well. Even though we almost could not make it, I am glad we made it and got to see the inside of Korean Navy Cruise and talked with them, The people there are very kind, polite and friendly. Also, they all made an effort to talk to you even though their English are not very good. If there are more events like this in the future, I am more than happy to take part on it and share the experience with you guys. Though hopefully it won't take that long for me to post. haha.</div>

"Is it too late now to say sorry?"</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
That lyric just somehow popped up into my mind now that I am writing again, <i>finally</i>. Before I go on any further, I hope you guys accept our apology for being such an inconsistent blogger all this time. It seems like we keep on asking for an apology every beginning of the year. I looked back into the <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2015/01/happy-2015.html">old post</a> of 2015 and things were indeed crazy busy that time. We are in the middle of doing our thesis right now and things, actually <i>is not that crazy hectic</i>. It is just that we focus so much on our thesis and whatnot that we ended up not being able to update our blog. Huhuhu.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyhow, isn't it crazy how quickly the time flies? Like, I thought I have just celebrated New Year and now we are on the second month of 2016 already! Oh my God. Quoting from last year, "How is it 2016 already when we have not even finished writing the draft from our 2014's posts?" Lol, yes. I still have one story from 2014 that I have been wanting to post since 2015 but never seem to get posted. It was back when my hair was still long and fiery red. That red hair has long gone but me and my procrastination stay the same ((T__T))<br />

<br />
<br />
Anyhow, talking about new year, still, I think we have to say it properly to you guys, <b>HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016!</b> The previous year has been a very lucky year for me I must say and I am utterly grateful for that. If I have the time ((and motivation <i>lol</i>)), I <strike>will</strike> need to blog about what happened last year for the sake of memento though it might confuse or bore some of you haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our biggest goal for this year is obviously to <b>graduate from university </b>and <i>take selfie on graduation day! haha. </i>After that, maybe we will figure out what we will do in the future. Working, starting business, continuing study, or getting married maybe? <i>lol, if only we have the potential partner.</i> As for the blog, I think we say this all the time but yes, I hope that we can be <b>more consistent </b>with the posts in terms of quantity and the quality of the content too. As for me, I was thinking to add something more up close and personal about myself so we can share stories with each other and discuss the matters together. I really want to engage more with you guys and hopefully I do not fall behind the schedule this time.<br />
<br />
Once again, have a wonderful year ahead, fellas!<br />
<br />
Cheers,<br />

Workshop has been popular recently. People spend their free time to learn new thing by joining a workshop, and so do we. It was actually a giveaway workshop from <a href="https://instagram.com/monstore/">Monstore</a> with <a href="https://instagram.com/tatyanarenatta/">Tatyana Renatta</a> about Papercut hosted by <a href="http://manual.co.id/">Manual</a>. The giveaway queen, Fili randomly joined the giveaway on instagram, and thank God, she won it (again). The giveaway was valid for 2 people, so she invited me to join the workshop with her. If you are one of the followers on her social media, you might see many posts about the winning giveaway.

The workshop started at 1 p.m. in <b>Artotel</b>, Thamrin. Before the workshop started, Tatyana showed us her artwork of Papercut. The photos above were just several artworks of her, Her artworks were super cool, right? Visit her <a href="https://instagram.com/tatyanarenatta/">Instagram</a> and you will see many awesome Papercut artworks. But wait, we were not making like that. We learned from basic, guys.<br />

Papercut is a new thing for us. Things we used to do using cutter was onl<span style="text-align: left;">y</span> straight line and helped by a rule<span style="text-align: left;">r</span> (failed art student :P). <span style="text-align: left;">Each participant was given a kit. Inside the kits were pen cutter, A4 cutting mat, basic paper cutting, pen and paper.</span></div>

Started from the basic, we cut the straight line, curved line, circle and dolphin. The paper used was 70gr A4 paper. It looked easy, but seriously, it was hard. Our straight line were not straight, and the dolphin was messy, lol. </div>

After we finished the basic, we were given challenge to cut our name. Oh my God! It was so much harder. The paper used was thicker than the basic one, if I'm not mistaken, it's watercolor paper. After 30 minutes, we finished our name. The result in the photos is so much better than the real one (please don't zoom the photos :")).<br />

Last but not least, she gave us another challenge, greeting card. I got pattern and butterfly card, and Fili got the boy and girl silhouette and same butterfly as mine, but I forgot to capture hers (sorry, Fili :")) It took so much time to do it, and unfortunately, time was up, we must finish the card at home.<br />

Group photo to finish up the workshop! Too bad, I brought 50mm lens and the room was not wide enough, so the photos should be captured from the side. Btw, I was wondering why this workshop was joined by 2 boys only? Is paper cutting too feminine for boys, LOL?<br />
<br />
Well, It was a super valuable workshop. We learned a new art that we didn't learn at university. We would like to thank Tatyana for her patience to teach us a lot about Papercut. Also, Thanks to Monstore for conducting the workshop and also Manual for hosting the giveaway.<br />
<br />
Yeey,<br />
Cheers!</div>

A throwback to my last year's post, I have promised to share my hometown's food to this blog. FINALLY! I could fulfill my promise. I will share 9 of hundreds delicious foods of my hometown. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I was born and lived for 18 years in Pontianak, West Borneo <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontianak,_Indonesia"><span style="font-size: x-small;">(<i>click here if you don't know about Pontianak)</i></span></a>. Pontianak (<span style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">坤甸, </span><i style="background-color: white; color: #252525; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span lang="zh-Latn-pinyin" xml:lang="zh-Latn-pinyin">Kūn diān</span></i>) is close to Malaysia, so people generally speak Bahasa with Malay accent. Chinese-Indonesian generally uses Teochew and Hakka for daily conversation. It's also used by the Chinese in Singapore and Malaysia. So, don't be confused if the name of some foods sounds weird and not familiar. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
First food, Chai Kwe (also familiar as Choi Pan)! It has been my favorite hometown's food. I never miss to eat this food when I go back. Chai Kwe consists of 5 flavors: soybean, yam, chives (<i class="">kucai</i>), bamboo sprout and <i>bengkoang</i>. Yam, bengkoang and chives are my favorite. This food is easy to be found, you can find this in the morning at the market or in the afternoon and evening at restaurant or cafe. Anw, I can eat 20 pcs in one meal :> oops. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Koi Sai Tin Kwe</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Next is Koi Sai Tin Kwe. I'm not sure about the name, but my mom told me that is indeed the name and she said that there is no Indonesian name as Indonesian doesn't really eat this. Koi Sai means chicken's sh*t and kue means cake, so Koi Sai Tin Kwe means... umm <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(fill the following blanks by yourself).</span> </i>The names of this food are super weird and disgusting, but the taste is good. Mom said that the black color was made by Daun Kentut <a href="https://www.google.co.id/search?q=daun+kentut&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIr-DQguKFyAIVVJGOCh1bkQ6k&biw=1366&bih=667">(Fart Leaves)</a>. Omg, the facts about this cake are too silly. This cake is a little bit difficult to be found, I found this in the morning at the market. It also reminds me about the trend of black colored food in nowadays. </div>

Egg tart is the third. Pontianak's egg tart is quite similar with Hong Kong's egg tart but it has a bigger size. It is baked on a plate and cut into 8 pcs <i><span style="font-size: x-small;">(click <a href="https://instagram.com/p/4t5FOdQRIY/">here</a> to see original size)</span></i>. I love this egg tart more than Balinese or Portuguese as it has a bigger size of the custard. I can easily find this in the market or traditional cake shop. Nowadays, there are chocolate, green tea, oreo flavor, but my favorite is always the original one,</div>

Pontianak's Crab Noodle (Bakmi Kepiting) is quite famous in Jakarta. There are 2 options to enjoy this noodle, with soup and without soup. Mostly, the restaurant also serves <a href="https://www.google.co.id/search?q=kwetiau&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMIg82fsImIyAIVRZuICh0xHAHR&biw=1366&bih=667">Kwetiau</a> and Dumplings.

In Pontianak, this food is called Chicken Rice. I don't know the story of its name, but it's totally different with Singapore Chicken Rice (hmm.. the roasted chicken is almost the same btw). There is no Hainanese rice in this chicken rice, and there are many pork with less chicken inside. In Jakarta, this food is called Nasi Campur. Until this time, many friends of mine ask me why it's called chicken rice in my hometown, and I just answered with laugh haha. I enjoy this food for lunch, btw. </div>

Sweet Fried Noodle? Weird? It tastes good, guys. The sweet taste was made of palm sugar. It's quite difficult to find this food since not every person can cook this noodle. My mom has ever tried to make it by herself, but it was too sweet. Btw, I enjoyed this for lunch. </div>

Che Hun Tiaw is just like Indonesian <a href="https://www.google.co.id/search?q=cendol&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&espv=2&biw=1364&bih=663&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIpODi5qmKyAIVJBimCh2orwPY">Cendol</a> with plain color, and Bongko is just like <a href="https://www.google.co.id/search?q=cendol&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&espv=2&biw=1364&bih=663&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIpODi5qmKyAIVJBimCh2orwPY#tbm=isch&q=selendang+mayang">Selendang Mayang</a> with green color. It can refresh me up in the super hot weather of my beloved hometown. Mix up two of them is an option, some people enjoy Che Hun Tiaw or Bongko only, but I love to mix them up. I can easily find it in the afternoon.</div>

Sharing about Lek Tau Suan reminds me to my dearest ex-roommate. She made this for my friends and me when we were living in the dormitory. Lek Tau is green beans that have been peeled off and Suan means diamond as the beans shine like a diamond, they said haha. The best part of this Lek Tau Suan is the <a href="https://www.google.co.id/search?q=cha+kue&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&espv=2&biw=1364&bih=707&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAWoVChMIteKRyLCMyAIVwSaUCh2Y6QeE#tbm=isch&q=cakwe">Chakwe</a> or dough fritter, I won't eat it without chakwe. I can easily find this at the market, but it's definitely cheaper to make this at home. This is so easy to make, the ingredients are simple and easy to find. There are many <a href="https://www.google.co.id/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&rlz=1C1AVNG_enID658ID658&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=lek%20tau%20suan%20recipe">recipes</a> about it on the internet. </div>

Last but not least, Tofu Pudding! It's a combination between pudding and Soy milk. Sweet and soft are perfect are two words that suitable to describe it. Tofu Indonesia has many variants of their product, such as tofu tart, tofu ice cream, tofu bean curd with many flavor and topping. And, they have opened their store in Kemanggisan, Jakarta, but I have never gone there. Maybe I should go there and introduce Tofu to Fili :)</div>

That is my story about my hometown's culinary. Hopefully, there will be part 2,3,4 and 50, I hope you guys will never get bored about my hometown hahaha. Well, for those who are going to have a culinary trip in Pontianak, you should follow <a href="http://instagram.com/kulinerpontianak">Kuliner Pontianak</a> on Instagram. This account was made by my friend ((and I was helping her to make the logo :>)). And, I got my references about Pontianak Culinary from there. The caption of the photos is detailed enough, location until prices. The way she describes the food is fun. Hopefully, I could do a collaboration with her someday :)</div>

On the first day of August 2015, we were celebrating the <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.co.id/2015/09/happy-first-birthday.html">first anniversary</a> of <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/">this blog</a>.

<a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2014/08/emon-kitty-cafe-tanjung-duren.html">This post</a> is and still remains the most popular post out of all other posts. Many of the visitors also come upon our blog because of this post. One of the reasons, in my opinion is because there are not too many people writing about this restaurant on internet. Also, Tanjung Duren is an are that is not as popular in terms of culinary scene. Anyway, I have not visited this place again yet, and sure things there have changed. If I had the chance, I might want to visit it again.</div>

Another Korean act, but <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2015/01/the-painters-hero.html">this one</a> is totally different. Unlike SHINee who I have been watching closely since I was a teenager. I had no idea about The Painters at all when I first went there. But once I watched their performance, I craved for more! I also posted a short video about them which can be watched <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTnx2X5QKS8">here</a>.</div>

The e-magazine can be <a href="http://issuu.com/candyafterdinner/docs/candy_after_dinner_-_e-_magazine_is">read online</a> and downloaded for free <a href="https://www.dropbox.com/s/hnaoaz1yjx58tyq/Candy%20After%20Dinner%20-%20E-%20magazine.pdf?dl=0">here</a>.

There you go, the best moments of the first year according to me. I do have an honorable mention for when I did <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2014/10/be-fearless.html">this campaign</a> though. Also, the <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/Intermezzo">Intermezzo</a> posts that I have been doing from time to time. I think this post can be categorized into Intermezzo as well haha. It felt good to look back to older posts and it definitely motivated me to write more!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now, how about you? What are your most favorite posts from <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/">Candy After Dinner</a> and what would you want to see in our future posts?</div>

The thing about brush-lettering is, you really just need brush, ink and paper. So, even if it looks like lots of stuff, we really did not bring too much stuffs for this crafting session. But the downside is, it can get a little messy especially with the black ink since it would totally stain your hands.<br />

For this year's event, Yelny got the chance to become the visual merchandiser, so she got to tour the place before the exhibition even began. I could not join here on that day because I had to work. But then, Yelny also could not take any pictures because she was pretty busy there. So, I ended up going there with a friend of mine on the last day. </div>

The event itself took place in Jakarta Convention Center (JCC). JCC is a very common place for people to hold a big exhibition like this. Considering that I went there on the last day of the event, it was still very crowded even though the place is very big.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing about INACRAFT is that most of the products showcased there were more into the traditional side. If you love batik, you would definitely find a lot of creation here. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What I loved about this kind of event is how the things there inspired me to become more diligent to create handmade things. There are always something special about making and using your own stuffs. Even better if you can sell it like the people here in INACRAFT.</div>

Even though it was a bit crowded during my visit, it was indeed a pleasant visit for both my friends and I. I love how this event supported local crafter to become more known to national and even international audience. Maybe one day I can also join not only as the guests but also the participant hehe. I hope that INACRAFT could run for a long time and become the pioneer of local crafting community.</div>

Back on June 2015, <a href="http://www.livingloving.net/">Living Loving</a> -one of my favorite local digital media-, hosted a series of workshop called <a href="https://www.livingloving.net/2015/events/event-announcement/the-happy-nest-series/">Happy Nest</a>. This was not the first time Living Loving made a workshop, but this was indeed the first time they made a series of workshop for two weekends back to back. Whoop! I was super attracted with the workshops of course, but then I decided to just try my luck by joining the giveaway.</div>

Living Loving, just like what its name suggest is a lovely media that I have been following closely since I found out about them. I love how <a href="https://instagram.com/livinglovingnet/">@livinglovingnet</a> is always creative and innovative in terms of engaging more with the readers.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq" style="clear: both;">
I have to say honestly that I was so curious when they first released the teaser of Happy Nest ((and can I add how perfect this name of workshop is?)) Finding out about what it was indeed made me happy, especially this class.</blockquote>

The workshop took place in <a href="http://www.pipiltincocoa.com/">Pipiltin Cocoa</a>, Barito. I was a bit late since the venue is a bit far from my home. When I arrived, I met the other participants. There are around 8 or 9 people in total if I'm not mistaken. The workshop started by an introduction from <a href="https://instagram.com/mamiraz/">Miranti</a>, one of the co-founder of Living Loving and also our mentor of the day. It began with a little introduction about Living Loving before moving on to the subject which was brush lettering. Mamir shared with us her favorite tools as well as the artists that have inspired her works.</div>

After that, we started practicing. Each participant was given a lettering kit. Inside the kit were lots of paper for practicing, brush, palette, ink, and pencil. They also provided poster color to be shared among participants. We started with basic practice by drawing lines, curls, swirls and shapes before moving on to alphabets. While we were practicing, Mamir suggested us to start thinking the design for the chocolate wrapping. </div>

When we have felt confident with our choice of phrase, we started painting the wrapping paper. Since we would make two bars of chocolate, we also designed two papers for wrapping. The first one that I made is inspired by <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/">this blog</a>, so I just simply wrote 'Candy After Dinner'. For the second one, I used my favorite color, red! After that I wrote a motivational phrase as a reminder and a doodle of <i>cough </i>myself <i>cough.</i></div>

While we were waiting for our creation to dry, we went to the small chocolate factory right inside Pipiltin Cocoa itself. This is my first time going to a chocolate factory so I was really excited. Though this one was not as big and quirky as the one in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, but this one is more than enough to satisfy my curiosity. The founder of Pipiltin Cocoa itself explained the process of making the chocolate from scratch. Seeing how all the chocolate is made from high quality product and detailed process, I came to appreciate it more than before. </div>

The good news is, we also got to make our own creation of the chocolate bar! After the chocolate is processed, we could use it based on our creation. For this workshop, we could make two chocolate bars. But to make it prettier, we can use colored white chocolate and splashed it into the base of the mold.<br />

After that, we just poured the chocolate into the mold and put the extra beans or cocoa nibs on top of it. In order to make it last longer, we should shove the beans and cocoa into the inside of the chocolate. Next, we could put it into the freezer for about 5-15 minutes then our chocolate is ready!</div>

While waiting for the chocolate to set, we got to taste this chocolate shot which is incredibly good!!! I have never had authentic chocolate drink before so I did not have much expectation. But it turned out to be so good. It is the right amount of sweet and bitterness. The creaminess texture is also fine because it did not feel too thick. Oh, we also got to enjoy the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdzhS5LPHMc">short movie</a> about chocolate making process.<br />

<br />
By the time we finished wrapping, it was also the end of the workshop Say It with Chocolate with Living Loving. I really did not realize how the hours have passed while I was having fun crafting and creating things. All in all, it was a lovely and enjoyable workshop. I would like to thank Mamir and Nike once again for hosting this wonderful workshop and having that giveaway so I could join. It was a really valuable experience that inspires me to do more, make more and practice more. Also, thank you to Pipiltin Cocoa for sharing your knowledge with us and having us in your factory to create our own chocolate.<br />

HELLOOO! Long time no see! I didn't write any post for a long time, I was busy of my internship. It made us being miss to each other. I had so many stories to be share and so does fili. Btw, before I share about #CraftyAfterDinner, let me share about the story behind it. We planned to have a meeting in <a href="http://galeri-nasional.or.id/">National Gallery of Indonesia</a> since last month. We arrived there at 10 A.M. and walking around looking for the way to get in to the gallery, But, all galleries were closed until September due to renovation. So, we were moving to Grand Indonesia to enjoy Jakarta Great Sale and be crafty.</div>

Hello folks! We have met again yet in another weekend. But the thing is, it's July already! It means that we have already been halfway through 2015. Phew, it sure has been an interesting year! Anyway, in the end of my <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2015/06/intermezzo-03-around-web.html">previous</a> <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/Intermezzo">Intermezzo</a>, I did mention that I have some good reads that I have been enjoying lately that I would like to share with you guys. Well, here it goes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hRnyCfaPRQo/VZd4AbL_PXI/AAAAAAAAB_0/0W8LY6Ik_7k/s1600/VonWong_Underwater_Tulamben-11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-hRnyCfaPRQo/VZd4AbL_PXI/AAAAAAAAB_0/0W8LY6Ik_7k/s1600/VonWong_Underwater_Tulamben-11.jpg" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br />
(image by VonWong Photography) </td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Instead of doing the usual video and picture showing, I figure out that since this is about reading, I will put them on list instead and linked it to the respective site ((and especially since the reads I wanted to share are more than expected))</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. The image featured is actually taken from 2014 in Bali, but I have just found about it now. Anyhow, I love how <a href="http://www.vonwong.com/">Von Wong</a> shared his stories through his <a href="http://www.vonwong.com/blog/baliunderwater/">blog</a> and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1-bFVpdtvZY">vlog</a> as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. I found out about this super cute <a href="http://cuteinkorea.com/">blog about Korea</a> which sadly is in hiatus. I hope that she will blog again one day! Also, I have this <a href="http://cuteinkorea.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/cheapkoreatoy1.jpg">furniture playset</a> from <a href="http://cuteinkorea.com/cheap-toys-in-korea/">this post</a>! They are exactly the same though mine is bought in Indonesia</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Last week, I have been all crazy reading about small-business branding and blogging through <a href="http://www.elleandcompanydesign.com/blog/">Elle & Co</a> , <a href="http://www.permanentprocrastination.com/">Permanent Procrastination</a> and <a href="http://wonderlass.com/">Wonderlass</a>. They all have interesting and useful tips that totally helps me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Just found out about this amazing (!!) blog recently from <a href="http://www.skunkboyblog.com/">Skunkboy</a>'s blogpost, <a href="http://www.awwsam.com/">Aww, Sam!</a> Look at all those pretty colors and yummy donuts!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. A very <a href="http://imbreannarose.com/category/creative-diaries">inspiring read</a> that I have been slowly backtracking. I have had the similar idea before when I somehow stumbled upon this and enjoyed reading it as my inspiration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Also, I have been super intrigued to try out freezer meal after spending many nights after work reading these blogs: <a href="http://moneysavingmom.com/downloads/freezer-cooking-planners">Money Saving Mom</a>, <a href="http://lifeasmom.com/2014/02/the-ultimate-freezer-cooking-collection-of-recipes-and-tips.html">Life as Mom</a> and basically googling and pinteresting about it. Oh, and still figuring out about <a href="https://onceamonthmeals.com/how-it-works/">this</a> too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Local digital media has started to rise significantly, for example <a href="http://manual.co.id/">Manual</a>. I think they are one of the best out there with nice web design and good photos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. Another one is <a href="http://www.kanekin.co/">Kanekin</a>, which started out as a design studio and has now developed into so much more. Thank you for supporting local brands!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. I have been a long time reader of <a href="http://www.ellejess.com/">Elle & Jess</a>, but it's not until this<a href="http://www.ellejess.com/2015/06/treasure-your-parents-tribute-to-our-dad.html"> recent post</a> that makes me feel so connected with them. Thank you for being so brave to share something so personal through internet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Or do you have any good reads you would like to share?</div>

Hello guys! It has been a fun journey sharing our take on planning a <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/BUDGET-FRIENDLY">Budget-Friendly</a> <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/PICNIC">Picnic</a> <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/PICNIC">Party</a>, so we figure out that it's about time to compile them into one and make it easier for you guys.

Inside the <a href="http://issuu.com/candyafterdinner/docs/candy_after_dinner_-_e-_magazine_is">e-magazine</a>, besides of the previously shared DIYs and fun tips, you will also find some behind-the-scenes and up close photo that we did not share on the blog. Also, if you fancy minimalist layout, hopefully you will like <a href="http://issuu.com/candyafterdinner/docs/candy_after_dinner_-_e-_magazine_is">our e-magazine</a> ;)</div>

It's the weekend again! I can not believe that we are fast approaching the end of June which means we are halfway through 2015 already! Now, talk about how fast time flies. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anyhow, I have been seeing lots and lots of interesting stuffs as I spend at least eight out of my twenty four hours every single day, glued to the screen with an internet connection. It is funny how the internet never really runs out of interesting things. In fact, it keeps and keeps on coming. So, I thought I would share it with you guys as well as keep it here just for the sake of memoir. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>STAY : Hotel Lokal - Jogjakarta</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wY1q8IerKEo" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have not been to this hotel before. But if I ever get the chance to go to Jogjakarta in the future, I will most definitely pick this hotel. Hotel Lokal is beautiful and artsy and looks so homey and comfortable. I have seen lots of people around the web talking about this hotel but it is not until I watched this video, it hits me spot on. I have to stay there someday. But meanwhile, I can just satisfy myself by browsing through their <a href="http://lokalindonesia.com/">website</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>WATCH : "I Forgot My Phone"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/OINa46HeWg8" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just saw the video this afternoon. It is so sad, so sad because it is true. It is sad, because they said that technology defy the distance and keep you close with the other side of the world, but in the same time it also builds a distance between you and your closer company. I hope that as you watch this video, you will realize once again how your surrounding is just as important ((if not more)) as your three point five inches phone screen.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>PLAY : Online Games</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ha! Yes, games for designers. I have not played all the games yet, but they are all mini games ((what do you expect from games for designers though?)) So you can quickly play one or two games in between your break. Oh, and this is totally cool for anyone too, it is just that most games are related with types, colors, and whatnot. Check them out <a href="http://graphism.fr/games/">here</a>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://designschool.canva.com/">This site</a> have a bunch of fun and educational tips and tricks about design thingy. I think this is a good source for aspiring designers and even professional designers who are stuck and looking for some inspiration. Some of the articles have become a refresher and reminder for what I have been and am doing with my design and some other are totally new and very good for my learning. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Also, on June 26th, 2015, <a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2015/06/26/politics/supreme-court-same-sex-marriage-ruling/">the news broke</a> about the same-sex marriage that is now legal in all 50 states in USA. I first grasped the news about this after my favorite bloggers on instagram constantly post rainbow filled pictures with the <a href="https://instagram.com/explore/tags/lovewins/">hashtag LoveWins</a>. It is nice to see how the country are celebrating and majority being supportive of the decision. And what's even more fun is to see bunch of <a href="http://www.buzzfeed.com/jarrylee/beautiful-rainbow-brand-logos-celebrating-marriage-equality#.cspB74oW7">business' logo filled with rainbow</a> ((I feel like I am unconsciously becoming a design geek <i>lol</i>))</div>

Well, this round up my <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/Intermezzo">Intermezzo</a> for now. What about you guys? Do you have any short video that leaves you an impact lately? Or any news that excites you? I have some good reads that I have been enjoying lately that I would like to share with you guys hopefully by next week. Meanwhile, enjoy your weekend!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We have now come to the most exciting part of the tutorial: making sandwiches! Yay! It is no secret that we both love food and so do our guests. Well, without further ado, here is our simple sandwich recipe.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wF1tGgBIEr0/VVHR-PMx78I/AAAAAAAAB3g/YBFuoIP7Jo0/s1600/IMG_5669.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wF1tGgBIEr0/VVHR-PMx78I/AAAAAAAAB3g/YBFuoIP7Jo0/s1600/IMG_5669.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Plain bread, banana, chocolate jam or peanut butter, chocolate rice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3znDWmlIWSc/VVHR-7fqPPI/AAAAAAAAB3o/agHQJTzgQBc/s1600/IMG_5672-tile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3znDWmlIWSc/VVHR-7fqPPI/AAAAAAAAB3o/agHQJTzgQBc/s1600/IMG_5672-tile.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Steps</div>
<div>
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>If your bread still have skin, you may cut them or you can leave it according to your preference.</div>
<div>
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Cut your bread into half on opposite direction so you will get four breads with similar square size.</div>
<div>
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Now cut your banana diagonally. </div>
<div>
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Spread the chocolate jam over your bread.</div>
<div>
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Next put the banana.</div>
<div>
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>And lastly, sprinkle some chocolate rice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BMVWzzp1jWA/VVHSArtjilI/AAAAAAAAB38/eJsutNbY_hg/s1600/IMG_5692.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BMVWzzp1jWA/VVHSArtjilI/AAAAAAAAB38/eJsutNbY_hg/s1600/IMG_5692.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For the other variation, you can just cut your bread into half once and stack one more bread on the top. And then wrap a doily paper around it and tie it with a ribbon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BcGIJmzBO-w/VVHSDWBkZiI/AAAAAAAAB4c/0IkXrEHIFk4/s1600/IMG_5773.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-BcGIJmzBO-w/VVHSDWBkZiI/AAAAAAAAB4c/0IkXrEHIFk4/s1600/IMG_5773.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
You can now enjoy your sandwich and probably, take a picture of it first if you’d love to. Bon appetite!</div>

If you read <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2015/05/twenty-one-and-some-other-stuffs.html">this post</a>, I told you at some point that if I am diligent enough, I will write about the exhibition <i>later. </i>Actually, I have wrote a piece for ADGI Jakarta as the part of my voluntary work.

<span style="text-align: justify;">As I am typing down this blog post, I am still sitting on my office's desk behind my laptop screen waiting for the revision from my client for a file that has to be printed by tonight and placed on an event's booth by tomorrow morning while the copy has not even been agreed yet. Whoop, what a long sentence. Oh well, it has been a really long day, but thankfully the people here are fun and energizing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: justify;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
With that said, I think it is nice to have an impromptu blog post every once in a while to, you know, celebrate the COMEBACK OF SHINEE!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally guys! Finally! <i>First of all, the copy has been approved, lol.</i> But most importantly, SHINee finally have their Korean comeback! I have not listened to the full album yet, but I know I can always rely on SHINee with their contemporary music style. Their previous album, "The Misconceptions of Me" and "The Misconception of You" are both amazing, especially that I was so lucky to watch some of the song performances live in <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2014/11/shinee-world-iii-in-jakarta.html">SHINee World Concert III</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for now, I have only watched the music video of "View", when I have time later, I will make sure to dig the fancams of other tracks from this song performed live in SWC IV in Seoul. Talking about the music video, just like other commentators on YouTube, I am so happy to see SHINee shooting an MV out of the box and actually with a concept ((and more than one girl, haha)). The story is actually interesting and it somehow depicts the other side of life as well as the transition from a boy into a man. Watching or should I say, growing up together with SHINee all these seven years, it feels like we have both matured together.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am so, so proud of SHINee and will always be. I will make sure to talk more about the album once I have the time to listen carefully and write down my thoughts.</div>

Yay! So I am back again with another intermezzo post! <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2015/04/intermezzo-april-2015.html">Previously</a> I shared some entertaining stuffs that might take longer time to enjoy. Since that not everyone must have had that much time to refresh their mind, I round up some things I like to enjoy when I only had a short amount of time, like break in between my jobs or when I waited for buses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<b><u>WATCH : Music Covers</u></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, by know, you might have already known about Kurt and Sam. They are amazingly talented in music and Sam's voice is beautiful. This song has been my favorite lately, I don't know if it is the lyric, the simple but sentimental piano instrumental background or the stunning voice or maybe all? They did some other amazing mash-ups and cover too. When I am bored, I usually type any song title that I have in mind and add the word 'cover' in YouTube's search box. That way, I found lots of interesting arrangements and wonderful voices.</div>

I first knew about this blog from Michelle who mentioned it on her blog, <a href="http://www.seaweedkisses.com/">Seaweed Kisses</a>. Later that day, I spent the whole night reading the past stories. I really do not need to explain anything about this blog, go to <a href="http://www.humansofnewyork.com/">Humans of New York</a> and experience the magic all by yourself. HONY is also on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/humansofnewyork">Facebook</a> and people there are soooo amazing! Everyone is super encouraging and the comments either makes me feel so motivated and positive or a bit teary eyed. So much respect for HONY's creator, Brandon!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One other blog that I enjoy as well is <a href="http://designtaxi.com/">Design Taxi</a>. They rounded up fun and creative ideas all around the internet world. The only con is that compared to other sites, Design Taxi seems to be very laggy and so heavy to load.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Haha, I actually started playing mobile games again after doing my internship! My colleagues there totally influenced me ((and other interns lol)) to play this game called <a href="http://bestfiends.com/">Best Fiends</a> and everyone is competitive! By the time I typed this post, I am working on passing level 61. This game reminds me of <a href="http://candycrushsaga.com/">Candy Crush</a>, if you have ever played it. I actually played Candy Crush too before and link it to my facebook but when I use new phone and connected the game to my facebook, it starts all over from level 1 so I just quit playing it. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Another game introduced in the office as well is called <a href="http://1010ga.me/">1010!</a> This one kinda reminds me of <a href="http://gabrielecirulli.github.io/2048/">2048</a>, though it is totally different. If the game ever needs a tagline, I would strongly suggest <i>"Survival of the Fittest".</i> I can probably go mellow and talk about how 1010 is kind of a game that reminds how to become the part of community, you should be able to fit in, or else you will lose. Of course it is not about real life but I can't help and think of it like that. So far, these two games have been a good company while I impatiently wait for the buses to show up at the bus station.</div>

I usually took fifteen to twenty minutes on a day to update on the recent Korean entertainment news <i>((yes, I love Kpop that much)). </i>This way, I will not miss too much update if I chose to read the news only on my days off. Buuuut, seeing that my super ultimate favorite group, SHINee is having a comeback on May 18th and seventh year anniversary on May 25th, I do not think that twenty minutes is enough at all! And OMG, I am so hoping that SHINee will come for <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2014/11/shinee-world-iii-in-jakarta.html">another concert</a> in Indonesia! </div>

Shopping in a physical store definitely take lots of time and energy, also, you can not really do it in between breaks. So, online shopping is really a great rescue, especially when there are things that you need to buy immediately. Being a fan of <a href="http://www.asntm3.com/home">Asia's Next Top Model</a>, this online shopping site is so familiar to me. It is none other than <a href="http://www.zalora.co.id/">Zalora</a>. They are one of the <a href="http://www.zalora.co.id/asia-next-top-model-3/">sponsor</a> for the models and I love seeing their outfits on the show! I know that naturally girls will become greedy when it comes to shopping so to save your time ((and money too haha)), you can try searching for the product based on your style. For example, I have been looking for a nice basic top lately then I can just go to <a href="http://www.zalora.co.id/product-index/kaos-polos/">this page</a>. And with the hot humid weather in Jakarta, I thought of pairing it up with hot pants which can be found <a href="http://www.zalora.co.id/hot-pants/">here</a>. But of course if you have extra time, you can just browse the whole site and be extra careful not to spend more than your budget! Haha.</div>

Can we take a moment to appreciate just how amazing is the performance of El Gamma Penumbra? I have been rooting for them from the beginning of the show and felt so, so proud and happy that they became the first winner of Asia's Got Talent. Congratulations!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that's a wrap! I hope these things will also become a good source of entertainment for you guys when you only have a limited time. I believe that it is always good to take a short break during your work especially if you feel stuck, unmotivated or basically so done with all your work. Hopefully these stuffs can be a breathe of fresh air and probably inspiration for whatever you are doing.</div>

Whooop! We are getting near to the end of the <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/BUDGET-FRIENDLY">Budget-Friendly</a> <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/search/label/PICNIC">Picnic</a> Party series. This will be the last DIY before we are getting into the food part. Since we will be serving food to the guests, the number of our plates and utilities can be limited. Especially for student who are living in dormitory like us. That’s why we made something that can substitute those plates.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>You can vary the size depending on your available cardboard</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Besides for serving food, you can put tissues on it.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Well, since this tray is basically made out of cardboard, you really can not put heavier or bigger food on it. Also, avoid putting the food directly on the tray. We strongly suggest you guys to put a piece of plastic or doily paper at first. Also, it is best to not put food that has lots of sauces or soups. But as you can see, it works well to put tidbits and light snacks ;)</div>

But we realized that we have not been updating about the current happenings of our life lately. I did update some things on Instagram, so I guess that it is a good idea to compile them here.</div>

Both Yelny and I were very <i>very </i>busy during February 2015. We had this entrepreneurship subject in our university and we were in the same group called "The Secret Messenger". Basically the idea of our group was to sell Valentine gifts in various packages and deliver it to the students or lecturers in our campus on Valentine's Day. The unique feature is the fact that the buyer could hide his or her identity. Also, we are sending the packages wearing those pinky pinky costumes and with bunch of flowers and balloons. So, it's safe to say that our group took part in bringing more love atmosphere in our university. The best thing? Seeing people's surprised and delighted expression when they got the package! One thing that I am super duper grateful is that the amount of our profit was three times the capital! It was super unexpected because economical value was not what our group was looking for initially. Hard work truly paid off!</div>

Not so long after Valentine's Day, we happily celebrated Chinese New Year. Since red envelopes are too mainstream, hopefully red balloons will do. And talking about red, my red hair color has completely washed off. Now only the ugly brown post-bleaching color remains. </div>

I went to this exhibition called Secret Garden where every little thing of this place reminded me of Christmas. Well, can't help it with all the light and sparkles. The place is not too big and can be a bit boring for some. But my friends and I were enjoying our moment there, taking crazy pictures and videos <i>lol</i>. Thankfully, it was not crowded at all when we got there so it felt like the whole garden belonged to us for that one hour. </div>

I helped volunteering for <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adgijakarta">ADGI Jakarta's</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adgijakarta/posts/688268747951065">event</a> but ended up having fun in another exhibition during the break time. It was kind of agriculture and small-traditional business exhibition and, and they had this very beautiful flower installation! They were all real flowers, you guys! Can you imagine how ecstatic I was? Oh, and talking about the event itself, I have always enjoyed attending events like this. Basically, I am the type of person who would enjoy learning more from the field rather than from theories. </div>

And amidst of all the entrepreneurship class and going out and about, I managed to finish my portfolio which I am so proud of!!! I have not yet took proper pictures of what's inside. But if you saw it from the outside, yes, I stitched the logo on the fabric by myself. Yes, I made the hard cover on my own. And yes, I did the coptic stitch binding after failing numerous times prior to the real deal. This book is the result of my learning these past ((almost)) three years, and I am overwhelmed with the result. I am so so happy because this book also reflected my personality a lot. </div>

After volunteering for <a href="http://www.indoestri.com/">Indoestri</a> Day <a href="http://filiandyelny.blogspot.com/2014/11/indoestriday-opening-of-first.html">previously</a>, I am so thrilled to be able to join them yet again on the second Indoestri Day. I am amazed to see how the industry has developed just in four months. It is always so nice meeting with new people and being in a place filled with so much passion and energy. Lots of amazing and inspiring people though the event itself was a bit tiring since it was held from morning to evening. </div>

By now, you might have guessed that I love doing volunteer work. Especially when it is related to creative industry! This time, I was helping the exhibition held by ADGI Jakarta called <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adgijakarta/posts/690502867727653">"Designers' Response: Jakarta City"</a>. There was one artwork that I adored so much by Thinking*Room. Let's hope that I am diligent enough to write about the exhibition later. </div>

Store displays have been catching my attention lately. Possibly since the end of last year? I kept on taking pictures of store displays. Pictured above are beautiful shades of threads found in a craft store, cute balloons and flowers all in one store <i>((i can not))</i>, and books! I have always loved reading but it's too bad I did not get to read as much books as I used to :( When I was in high school I would borrow numerous books from the school library. But now that in university, the books from the library there did not suit my preference that much. I guess it is time to start saving my money and invest on good books.</div>

Just recently, I visited this awe-inspiring <a href="http://kopikeliling.com/news/liputan-catalyst-art-market-4.html">art market</a> in Kuningan City. So many talented people all in one room! The exhibition that I have been attending were more into graphic design and the bazaars that I have been going were all food and fashion. So, it was like a breathe of a fresh air seeing illustration and visual art, What upset me was the fact that I somehow lost my one hundred thousand rupiah :'''( I think it fell somewhere when I was pulling out my money. I ended up going home feeling extremely sad. </div>

I watched one of a local Indonesian movie, titled <a href="http://www.filosofikopimovie.com/">Filosofi Kopi</a>. It was one of the best Indonesian movies I have ever watched! The story is based on a short story written by Dee, my favorite Indonesian author. The story flows very well and the dialogues are super fun, not stiff at all. If you want to know more about how I thought of this movie, I wrote <a href="https://instagram.com/p/1_F3HxFG0O/?taken-by=flyingfili">a long caption</a> written in Bahasa on my Instagram. </div>

When it comes to party, it is almost impossible to omit this one thing. It is none other than food! Yes, food! It is like the life of a party. It does not only satisfy your hungry tummy, but it also helps you bond with your guests. Since we would like to go all-out with the decor, we think that we should level up our food as well.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steps</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Using your math compass, make a circle with 4 cm diameter. Make the circle shape until your paper is full.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Stack three or four paper at once and cut them altogether so you can get a good amount of circles.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Draw or write anything on the circle. We wrote some birthday greetings and drew some emoticons there.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Tape one of the circles onto the toothpick.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>And then tape another circle on the back.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Do it for the rest of your circle and you will get some cute cake toppers to make your food fancier.</div>

Now you might be wondering where you should put those toppers before they are placed on the food. Of course you can just put it on a regular cup, but if you can make it prettier, why not?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Please excuse the pun for the title ^^ Now, we believe that a birthday will not be complete without a gift. Being DIY girls, we think that a thoughtful handmade gift is much more sweet and touching rather than a lavish one. In here we would like to show you how we wrap gifts in two ways.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-40mxniAYEwg/VTJusNomj6I/AAAAAAAABrw/5NhxSK9fhmk/s1600/IMG_5617.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-40mxniAYEwg/VTJusNomj6I/AAAAAAAABrw/5NhxSK9fhmk/s1600/IMG_5617.jpg" height="320" width="269" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tools and Materials:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Scrap paper, Your choice of gift, Double tape, Scissor, Ribbon, Doily paper</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o9DAFx1aCUU/VTJut8wf_HI/AAAAAAAABr8/r4DY0qbLGsU/s1600/IMG_5620-tile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-o9DAFx1aCUU/VTJut8wf_HI/AAAAAAAABr8/r4DY0qbLGsU/s1600/IMG_5620-tile.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Steps (for gift in box shape)</div>
<div>
1.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Take one piece of scrap paper and wrap it around your gift.</div>
<div>
2.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Fold the bottom and the top part of the paper inwardly, one side at a time so it will look like one in the picture.</div>
<div>
3.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Secure all side with double tape.</div>
<div>
4.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Wrap the front side with a doily paper.</div>
<div>
5.<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Finish it with a tie of ribbon and a handwritten birthday wish.</div>
<div>

For the gifts in cylinder shape, you can simply follow step 1 and 2. The difference is that on step 2, you just have to fold the bottom part. For the top part, you just gather the paper into one and tie it with a ribbon. Voila!</div>

I kind of made up this feature because I really wanted to share stuffs that I currently (or not actually that current) enjoy. Also, one day if I look back to these posts, I would want to remember how much I love a certain movie or song or other things.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Drama: Kill Me Heal Me</b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="525" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/u3xWDcVUTbo" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
This drama is AMAAAAZING!!! This is one of a very few K-dramas that I follow during the airing date. Most of the time, I will wait until a drama has been completed and watch it only if my friend said it is good or if the drama has insanely great reviews on the internet. But this, hands down, (almost) my favorite K-drama ever! <i>((competing with A Gentleman's Dignity still)).</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This romance-comedy drama tells a story about Cha Do-Hyun, a heir of very big and successful group in Korea who has seven personalities. He has a mental illness called DID or mostly known as multiple personality disorder. He then met a first year resident doctor called Oh Ri-jin. The introduction itself is very interesting, wait til you watch the drama, OMG, I am sure you will all be hooked. I especially praise Ji Sung acting highly. He is the one who playes as Cha Do-Hyun and all seven personalities and he successfully nailed it! All other actors also did a very amazing job and the writer too! I love how the story flows not too slow yet not too fast. It just feels right. And man, all the small details that turns out so important, and the plot twist. This drama is totally recommended!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And also, they have this very amazing soundtrack:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ya0nm7unMQo" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
You have to watch the drama first, then listen to the song and read the lyrics translation <i>((all the feels)). </i>This soundtrack complements the drama very, very well.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Movie : Furious 7</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RgKAFK5djSk" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I honestly did not really follow Fast & Furious series but I did watch FF6 in a cable TV. The 7th installment, I think aside of being very epic, is very emotional since Brian here has become a father. I love how they highlight the value of being a family here. Also, the fact that Paul has sadly passed away, it becomes more heart-breaking. It saddens me how many times 'funeral' word is mentioned in the movie. The ending is very very beautifully shot, and I love every small details that symbolizes the sweet yet sad separation. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Movie : Cinderella</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_wppM8ycod0" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe, I should have not watch this trailer back in 2014. Or maybe I really should have. Visually speaking, this trailer is so beautiful. even if it is just a glass shoes! But all the sparkle and shine, I can not. So, I ended up watching it last March though. Unlike Maleficent, this time around there is no plot twist. The story is as classic as the Disney's version of Cinderella. What I love the most about Disney's live-action movies is their visual, they are so pretty and detailed! Anyway, back to Cinderella, when there is kindness, there is goodness. When there is goodness, there is magic. :) and another favorite saying, have courage and be kind.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Music : "Sniper" - SHINHWA</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nbgv1aqv2QQ" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been listening to this song so many times lately, though this is not very current. But I really adore how after 17 years, SHINHWA is not losing their color. They have grown up and became mature throughout all these years, but they cleverly adjust with the situation nowadays and show that they are still in the game though they are much older than the singers these days. My favorite part got to be Junjin's rap, he is so cool!<br />
<br />
Othe K-pop songs that I have been also enjoying lately including: "<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TK9gEpUVFyo">Flower</a>" by XIA, like how can I not love Junsu's voice and song? <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glXgSSOKlls">"Ice Cream Cake"</a> by Red Velvet. The girls are so adorable and the song is somehow addictive. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWfsla_Uh80">"Call Me Baby"</a> by EXO. Though I am not as much of a fan of EXO now. but I still love them and happy for the new album.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Music : "Lost Stars"</b><br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sLTRSakuugs" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I first knew about this song from <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mas2izBchZU">Roy Kim</a> who is one of my favorite solo artist. I learned later that this song is an original soundtrack of the movie "Begin Again". The original version is sang by<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cL4uhaQ58Rk"> Adam Levine</a> and Keira Knightley separately. I have not watched the movie yet but I am looking forward to watch it later since I love movie that involves song and music.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>TVC : Cupidity by Cornetto</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/SBQZgS1KgcE" width="560"></iframe></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again, this is not something current, but I have just watched the series this past week. Cornetto made an ad in forms of short movies for their Valentine campaign. I love it when brands make short movies for their campaign. Anyway, this was one of the four movies released in February 2013. Also, the most popular and heartwarming one. For other series, you may want to check out the playlist <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/CornettoGlobal/playlists">here</a>. It is too bad they did not make other movies for 2015. Also, there is a title from the 2014's campaign that supposed to have part 2 but still left hanging up til now. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, bonus point, the music of all the movies are really good! The music fits the movie very well and they are very soothing.<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>TV Show : "Asia's Next Top Model"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/w0zgHNRB-6Q" width="560"></iframe>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside of watching dramas, I love watching TV shows as well. This time it is the current season of Asia's Next Top Model. I love the previous cycle where Sheena became the winner <i>((I was rooting for her! yay)). </i>Aside of AsNTM, I also enjoyed watching Masterchef ((and Masterchef Junior too!)) when it is on the run. But my all-time favorite has got to be, The Amazing Race! It really lives up to its name!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>TV Show : "Asia's Got Talent"</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Coincidentally, I have been watching Asia's talent show. This time it is Asia's Got Talent. It is just so entertaining to watch so many different and amazing talent competing together. The judges' reaction is also very funny as well! This is one of my very favorite act <i>((yes, they deserved that Golden Buzz!)). </i>It is not only about the dance, but also the story! My other favorite act is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EHQY8_OC2Q">TRIQSTAR</a> and also rooting for <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgZ0BlEoFHw">Young Boys</a> from Indonesia! But I did not manage to watch the whole audition episodes so I might have missed some other amazing acts. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whoop! It has been fun wrapping up some things that my eyes and my ears have been enjoying. It's been a while since I read so next time, I hope I will be sharing some of my favorite books. What are things that you currently enjoy? Share it with us to here!</div>
