 Annyeong hasseyo! Welcome back to my blog. Jadi hari ini, aku mau cerita sedikit mengenai ide kreatif diriku yang muncul di saat gak ada stok kertas kado di rumah dan males pigi beli >,< Dan hasilnya gak jelek2 amat lha, setidaknya memanfaatkan kertas kalender bekas dan jadilah kertas kado unik satu2nya lo wkwkwkwk #pedesekali Berhubung ada temen deketku yang ultah di bulan November dan seperti biasa pas detik2 terakhir baru kepikiran mau kasi apa, dan pas gak ada kertas kado pas bongkar2, muncullah ide gila untuk menggambar sendiri di kertas untuk bungkus kadonya. Pas momen itu memang lagi seneng2 sama doodle dan sudah donlod Pinterest. Inspirasiku semua dari searching di Pinterest btw... mirip HarPot gak sih??? wkwkkw first doodle ini...

Hello guys! Semoga kita semua senantiasa sehat ya. Jadi kali ini saya mau share aktivitas saya di bulan September kemarin. Nah, ada yang spesial di bulan kemarin tu, yaituuuu.... saya mencoba membuat jelly mooncake untuk sembahyang pek gwe pua atau istilah kerennya mooncake festival/ mid autumn festival/  中秋节. Berawal dari liat video di youtube ini Little Duck Kitchen , langsung tertarik untuk tes buat sendiri. Berakhir dengan langsung cari cetakannya di tokped dan shopee. Dan ini hasil pertama kali buat jelly mooncake sesuai resep dari video youtube tadi.

Hello! Welcome back to my blog! Hope that all of you are safe and healthy.   Jadi, hari ini aku mau sharing hasil kreasi overnight oat yang aku buat akhir2 ne.. Nah, alasan kenapa tiba2 kepikiran buat overnight oat itu adalah b ermula dari iseng2 buka Youtube, terus nampak deh channel yg nunjukkin proses pembuatan overnight oat dan chia pudding. Pertamanya, tertarik buat chia pudding. So, langsung praktek donk, tapi sayangnya gak berhasil karena keenceran (akibat kebanyakan susu sepertinya), so dari chia pudding yang encer tsb, aku tambahin aja oat nya. Dan jadilah seperti gambar di bawah ini : 07.08 - oat chia pudding with strawberry

Mission Accomplished! Last Sunday, I challenged myself : drawing flowers for one week (7 days) And I did it. Actually it should be 7 flowers for 7 days, but because of my unmindfullness, I drew Lily for two days, so I drew one more flower and it became 7 days 8 flowers ^^ I will show you my drawings and share the tutorial's links (where I learn to draw my 8 flowers)  Enjoy! Day 1 - June 7   LILY

Missing travelling so much >,< Karena gak bisa jalan2 tahun ini, untuk mengobati rasa kangen tsb, ngeblog aja dehh my last year trip to Bangkok. Sekalian nostalgia deh :D Perjalanan kami dimulai hari Sabtu, 14 September 2019 dengan pesawat Air Asia direct ke Bangkok lebih kurang 2 jam. Sampai di Bangkok sekitar jam 1 siang gitu, langsung nge-grab ke condo kami yang sudah dibook lewat AirBnB. Bahkan untuk mesen grab aja uda butuh perjuangan ekstra wkwkwk Kami stay di condo THE ZEST area Ladprao, dekat MRT dan deket UNION Mall dan BIG C supermarket.   Lokasi condo memang agak jauh dari tourist spots, tapi condonya bagus dan aman. View nya juga keren J view from our room <3 first wefie di condo

Hello guys! Akhirnya memutuskan untuk update blog gue di masa pandemi ini. Nah, COVID-19 alias corona virus ini akhirnya nyampe juga di Medan, di awal bulan Maret kemarin. Jadi ya, aktivitas di luar benar2 dikurangi. Yang biasanya gak pernah betah di rumah pas Sabtu Minggu, sekarang mah gak ada pilihan, guys :D Rute Senin-Sabtu ya  rumah - kantor, kantor - rumah. FIX! No #MeTime No jalan2. Nah, jadi ceritanya kurang lebih uda 2 bulan lha, Sabtu Minggu #StayAtHome. Ternyata gak boring boring amat sih di rumah. Mulai deh nyari aktivitas untuk menghabiskan waktu pas di rumah, berhubung gak bisa ke mana2 dan dianjurkan #dirumahaja. And so does my creativity starts. Mulai googling mengenai Calligraphy, project2 kecil yang bisa dilakuin di rumah, dan ketemu sama 1 website ini -  https://thepostmansknock.com/ Mulai terinspirasi dengan project2 yang dikerjain, jadi ya mulai deh, download2 worksheet nya, terus practice di rumah. Yes, lebih banyak waktu buat practice Calligraphy...

Heloo guys! Finally find back my courage to update my blog hihihi This time, I will share the progress of   my last year mission : to learn something new. And I choose Calligraphy :) I joined a private calligraphy class last year, March 4, 2019. I learned dip pen calligraphy for the first time. It was not easy, trust me hahaha This picture is the result of my practice after the class. 04.03.2019 I practiced almost every day because my teacher told me to keep practice and take photos of it. One day you will realize how much progress you have made. I am so glad I did what my teacher said, that’s why I can blog my progress and feel proud of myself :)

Sedikit bercerita mengenai donor darahku yang ke-10 hari ini... Setelah absen donor darah selama setengah tahun, hari ini berkesempatan melakukannya. Nah, cerita donor darah ini penuh ups and downs. Pertama kali donor darah itu di bulan November 2015, di mana saat itu memberanikan diri untuk mulai donor darah. Deg2an pasti di awal (first timer lo hahaha ), tapi really enjoy it and addicted to it J Dilanjutkan dengan donor dua kali di tahun 2016, masih belum berani donor empat kali setahun. Hingga akhirnya bertekad untuk donor darah empat kali di tahun 2017, dan berhasil. Bangga dan bahagia dengan mission yang tercapai di tahun 2017. Masa-masa down dimulai di tahun 2018. Sempat dua kali gagal donor darah karena HB tidak mencukupi. Sempat down waktu itu, karena baru pertama kalinya gagal donor. But, I don't give up! Setelah melalukan beberapa usaha untuk menaikkan HB, saya berhasil donor darah di bulan Mei 2018. Tetap mempertahankan kesehatan tubuh dan asupan gizi, say...

Hello everyone! I guess I haven't made a proper introduction about myself. So here it is! * * I'm Valentine Wijaya from Medan. I was born in a Buddhist family 24 years ago. I have three older sisters that makes me the smallest daughter in my family. I can say that I'm lucky to know Buddhist since I was born, although it's still traditional Buddhist. I graduated from STMIK - STIE Mikroskil in 2015 with Computer Degree. I love doing charity w ith my friends when I was still in college. We did free foods, visited orphanage, and nursing home. But after graduation, life gets busier and we seldom meet each other again, so the charity is stopped. I also joined a Buddhist organization when I was in college, which is called Keluarga Mahasiswa Buddhis (KMB). Although I joined it at my last two semesters, I learnt a lot new things and got so many new friends. From this organization, I started to know what Patria is. I joined Patria in January 2016. I was asked ...

Good morning from the ninth floor of one hotel in Medan! Can you spot the rainbow? The sun is so shy this early year, but the view is so awesome! So, this is the 1st January of 2019, first blank space to fill with memories and moments with people around you. Happy New Year 2019, guys!

Hi! Today is the last day of my long holidays. So, I'm gonna post my holiday trip to Samosir. I call it "AWESOME SAMOSIR" Samosir really gave me unforgetable memories. It was such a great trip to visit Samosir. Although the journey was so rough, eight hours trip, bro! From Medan to Samosir 8 hours and from Samosir to Medan 8 hours too... We started our journey at Thursday 14th around 1 p.m. and reached Samosir around 8 p.m. We reached our hotel using land transportation, no ferry. Actually we planned to use ferry to cross from Prapat to Samosir, but we canceled it because the news said that it was a long queqe. I went there with PATRIA-ers and Dayaka of Vihara Mahasampatti. There were all 25 people, including one Samanera. Samanera Dhammasiri was with us during this trip. I'm not going to write so much, I just want to share all the pictures and videos I took during the trip. Let the pictures show you how beautiful Samosir was! Some pictures were taken by my fr...

Annyeonghasseyo ~ Ohayo ~ Hello ~ Akhirnya, setelah sekian lama, saya berhasil mengalahkan rasa malas saya untuk mengupd a te blog saya :D Sorry for letting my blog so empty this year. Actually get little inspiration from this bro ->>  William  gak mau kalah istilahnya wkwkwkwk Sedikit cerita mengenai 4  bulan lebih yang sudah terlewati di tahun 2018 ini (hampir 5 bulan sih). Intinya sih I had a lot fun these 5 months hahaha. Hari pertama di tahun 2018 saya habiskan dengan puja bakti hari Metta. Such a good start, right? J I do spent a lot time with myself. I had coffee and cakes by myself. I also spent my Saturdays and Sundays with my family and besties. two cups just for myself ^^ Hal baru yang saya pelajari tahun ini yaitu belajar memilih buah berkualitas bagus :D Telat amat ya belajarnya? Tapi lebih baik daripada tidak memulai sama sekali kan? *Still feel grateful* Now buying fruits has been my weekly activity, yihaaa ^^ Di p ertengahan...

Hi guys! It's been a long time I updated my blog. I was so busy lately. And today I get so mad at office. Super hectic Monday and Tuesday. Luckily i have good officemates who always can make me laugh. Thanks buddies! I'm glad I met you guys! So, after the bad day, I ended my office hour quickly and had a "me time" enjoying a cup of green tea frappucino 😍 Pardon my selfie 😅

Hi guys! How are you there? I was so busy this August, with a lot works to do and some problems. I was very tired this week and stress. Luckily, I realized that I can't let myself get stress like this. Complaining really isn't make your problems solved. So, I decide to face my problems bravely. And I feel better now. Yesterday, I got angry with the situation that I faced. But, I'm the one who get hurt because of that feeling. So, I stopped to complain and try to cheer up. It was hard, but I passed it. I want to challenge myself to be a better person, especially in Buddhism way. I must control my emotion, and learn to realize that all the situation is temporary. Learn to let go. Learn to be a wise person. And still a lot to learn. So, cheer up, dear myself! You can pass this situation! #cheeringmyself #iamstrong

Continuing my previous post about my holiday, here I post about my last day exploring Penang. LAST DAY - June, 29 We visited Penang Hill and Kek Lok Si that day. We catched bus to Penang Hill station and it started to rain. Unfortunately, it rained really hard when we took the Funicular Train to Penang Hill L We spent one hour there to wait the rain to stop L selfie while waiting for the rain to stop After the rain stopped, we explored Penang Hill, took a lot of pictures. The fog was so thick that we couldn’t capture Penang Bridge clearly. But still, the view was amazing.   the road was still so wet lhoo <3 All foggy view When the sky, mountain, sea, and buildings in one frame, plus the fog of course :D
