Bonjour à tous!
Good morning from eastern Jakarta. I wish you a very well-spent morning and also a good leisurely breakfast to start the day. As you all know, long holiday means that i get more time to spend on making a good healthy brekkie. I feel like going back to my early high school year when all i wanted for my brekkie was a nice bowl of oatmeal and i ended up being called the queen of oatmeal because i brought a bowl of oatmeal to school every single day.
Today, i'd like to share you about how i usually have my oatmeal made. As for today, i made a bowl of chocoatmeal topped with banana, apple, sprinkle of muesli, almond, and of course, my all time fav cinnamon powder.
Recipe:
1. Firstly, add 3 tbsp of quick-cooking oats to the pan along with 2-3 cups of water (depends on how you like your oatmeal, i prefer mine not too liquidy)
2. Then cook your oats in medium heat, not too hot nor too weak. Do not forget to keep stirring.
3. Add 2 tsp of cocoa powder and *sweetener (*optional)
4. Keep stirring until its texture is dense enough or just as how you prefer your oatmeal texture to be.
5. Pour them oatmeal into a bowl.
6. Then top em with any topping you like. Today i topped mine with banana, apple ( for the crunch), a sprinkle of muesli + almond + poppy seed, and also a lot of cinnamon powder.
7. Voila!
yumness!
And look what's written on the bowl...
Have a nice day, people.
See you soon!
Today marks the last day of me being a freshman. Yasss people, finals are finally over which means those 90 days worth of series-marathon, sleeping-late, and of course beautiful brekkie have officially begun!! Yep. No judging people. No judging. You guys do 'em too, right? I got countless plans in my head but i have this weird belief of mine when it comes to planning something. I prefer everything spontaneous than everything planned. I do not exactly know why and i can't seem to find the best word nor phrase to explain, nah you know why, right right right?
Maintenant, i'm in the phase of confusion, kinda, about things that i want to focus on in the future. This blog-writing game is also in that list anyway. By blogging, tbh i really wanna share about some of things that have inspired me personally. Maybe re-writing my personal journal, who knows? I actually own this small cute journal (which was given by my mom's friend since buying cute journal will never be happening for the rest of my existence) with my awful handwriting on it. In this past few months, i've been making myself writing about things i lean, or things i'm grateful for, or even random thoughts, everyday. And maybe, i'll share some of 'em here, maybe.
Or, will i post about some super simple food recipe? We'll see... I actually have been thinking about going vegetarian. No particular reason, it's just me after watching some documentaries about the cruel way of treating animals and also i always have this very weird feeling looking at animals in a plate. But, be ready to judge me people be reeeaaady. i like sushi. That short sentence sums errrything up right?
This past few weeks i have been listening to nothing but Mystery Skulls. Check em here! My studying jam, i guess? And the Forever album is just bomb. Eargasm from 00.00 till 41.16. Plus, you gotta check the 'Ghost' animated version mv, gotta be my favourite animated music video ever.
Everyone, have a nice holiday.
I'll see you soon.
à bientôt!
I'll see you soon.
à bientôt!
Bonjour à tous!
To be completely honest, this post should have been up on Sunday but finals got me feeling like Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.
I, somehow, managed to take a pic when i was on my way out of my french course. Oh yeah, featuring the leaves and the-somehow-very-photogenic-grey-floor.
Being super basic
and..............
some treats won't hurt right?
BOOM.
Bonjour à tous.
This time i'd like to say that it has been such a great opportunity for me to just live, to observe, to survive, to learn, and also to try getting into this blogging-writing game up until my 19th year of existence. I just turned 19 last Friday which marks this year as my last year of being a "teen" in term of age. I did say "in term of age" because i do feel like being a teenager is still what is currently set on my mind instead of being a fresh new adult.
This past 9 years of me being a teenager has been such a thing.. I graduated from elementary, got into middle school, high school then finished my 12 years of wearing a uniform with three different color skirts and somehow these paths i have taken leads me to this little canvas i am painting now, as a college student. Living my life as an ordinary teenager, i find myself very hard to be this certain kind of person i have always wanted to be, loud, warm, easy-going, et cetera...not even close to one of characteristics i have mentioned. But as time goes by, year by year...oh well actually in this past few years, i kind try to accept this hidden part of me which i have never and did not even want to realize and see. I realize that i have been looking up to people all my whole teenager life that i am not my own self anymore. It is not an easy matter to get out of your comfort sofa and try to walk in a new pair of shoes..and it will never be. I did not know how long it took for me to just get out of it...to get out of the whats-so-called mainstream. And i do not explain what i really mean because of some things that you will never give an objective glance at..so i better shut my keyboard's sound up. Here.
I am writing this not because i want to spoil about someone's insecurities because i believe everyone does have their own insecurities about themselves and i personally think that it is healthy to have one which means that you are fully aware of yourself. What makes it unhealthy is none other than all the pressure that you've probably put into those insecurities of yours. Why don't we just take our time to cut those heavy strings and look after them but not make them as a part of yourself but as a thing that you need to take care of..something that you'll need to look after and as something that your future self will see and thank the current you for cutting it off from your own back in the past.
Have a nice Sunday night people, It is a new week for you to be grateful of.
Good night.
Bisous.
