Hi guys! I'm supposed to be studying for my tests tomorrow but anyway, I can't hold back the urge to share this post with you now. So as I've promised many times ago, I would start documenting my oh-so-called 'journey' in Jogja. I will write and talk as much as I can about amazing holiday destinations that you can reach even by yourself and places to eat. Because this city is just so full of that! Mouth-watering culinary that is.

Last Saturday night I went to this cute little place called Zango Express with boyfriend. It's a waffle place, FYI. I first knew this place from my best friend and she told me to try the chocolate one because it was super delicious. And I did try! Although I can't say that the taste is as amazing as my best friend would say because I expected something more than that, but it tasted okay. Maybe because I've had snacks before therefore my stomach was already full, so I couldn't really recall the taste. But it was okay. The waffle costs for IDR 20k (++), so I guess it's pretty affordable? I would go back to this place to try its matcha waffle :9 It has indoor and outdoor dining room so if you just got back from a long hot day under the sun, you can take a rest in their indoor dining room!

I can't probably go too details on this because I was in a rush. But I'm open to any questions and suggestion on where or what to eat. I will be delighted to help out! Until then, thank's for reading. Now I gotta go back studying lmao. Happy Sunday!

Hiii! How are you guys? Oh wow, I miss blogging so much! I know I didn't write much last month. I was planning to make some posts but I always got myself caught between my tight schedule. It's not like I have many things to do... But this semester will soon come to an end and I will have to prepare myself for the final tests. I hate it. That means I will have to be prepared to see my grade this semester lmao. I will definitely work harder. Uh, that sounds familiar. I remember saying that to myself last year. Oh wait... it has been a year??? Time flies! It's been a year (++) since I became a college student. With final test coming around the corner, I think I'll be celebrating my new year in Jogja again. I miss celebrating new year in Jakarta, you know. The celebration is much more epic there, somehow. My parents told me they will come here so we can celebrate it together. I'm excited!

I've been listening to random songs recently. And what's stuck in my mind right now are no other but Justin Bieber's latest album, Purpose. I personally like Purpose, Sorry, and the very recent one, Love Yourself. It's funny. This is the first time I misinterpret a song. Maybe because the title doesn't go right with the entire song? I mean, "love yourself" usually goes with something that makes us feel better about ourselves. But then again, it's actually about a selfish girl who loves herself too much, that she should just go and love herself. Ahahahah. But anyway, I like it. Been playing it for many times already this week and I can't stop humming to the tune. What are your current favorite songs right now? :)

I start thinking about the continuation of this blog. I mean, I feel like I'm losing my identity here. I forget what kind of blog I want this to be shaped, thus it's starting to be lack of posts. I forget that this is a personal blog, where I can post anything about my personal life. I was pretty picky when it comes to posting new writings to the blog because I was too concerned about what the readers will say about it. So, few nights ago I talked to my boyfriend, saying I want to start making reviews on eateries and cafes here in Jogja. He sounded very supportive about it. Because I've been to too many places here and I actually have opinions about it. I hope I can get it started right away. Fingers crossed! xo

One of the best fashion advice I've read on the internet so far is to shop at the men's department. That's like the best way to spend your money on fashion for starters. Men clothes tend to be easy to be styled than women's. True. Especially because I have a larger body shape and size so most women clothes just don't have the right stuff for me. That's when shopping at men's department comes in handy. They're so much bigger, of course. But we women can still opt for the smallest size which is S. That's like the M size for us. I personally really love oversized and loose clothes. That's why I love stealing my brother's clothes or borrow my boyfriend's sweaters because they're hella big and makes me feel secure. Sadly loose clothes make me look so much bigger than my actual size lmao. Doesn't matter tho, the most important thing in choosing and wearing clothes is to aim for our personal comfort. People's thoughts can follow.

What do you want to be in the future?

I remember having so much goosebumps when I was getting asked that question many years ago when I still hadn't known about how bitter life could be, or how picky the people around me. You guys probably told those adults about the dream of being a doctor, an astronaut, a president, all those big jobs and careers with huge responsibility. No, before you assume me I was gonna judge those dreams, let me tell you one thing; I was dreaming to become a minister. Or anything that works in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to be honest. At least any kind of job that requires "suit and tie". Because I am surrounded with that kind of people. Almost my whole big family works for the government in the ministry. Only my father takes a quite different way by choosing the non-governmental way to make a living. It still takes us everywhere. But I got influenced mostly from my relatives. I remember paying them a visit in their office and spent my entire day following them. Though I didn't get to witness the detail of their works but still, that kind of experience alone is enough to make little Dyn to have such dream. When I told my parents about it, they were very supportive. Which is why now I am in a law school, trying to get some grip of what I'm going to face in the world of Indonesian governance.

So if you ask me again, "What do you want to be in the future?"...

I can't really tell. But I wanna work in the creative industry. Something that is related with my passion. Be it writing, photography, or graphic designing. So far I really want to work in a magazine. The world of journalism has always been so interesting for me. If my study isn't enough to earn me a job in the journalism, I don't mind taking another course or study. It's so much better than sitting around wearing suit and tie while surrounded with people with the same mind who only see black and white in their worlds. I don't think I can stand that kind of environment. But I don't know, my parents will probably scold me because that means I'm throwing away my dream. Well, that doesn't sound too bad. I have many dreams anyway. If one goes down, I still have a thousand more waiting to be brought to life.

As long as I know what I'm doing and be responsible for my own choices, I'll be okay.
