It has been more than a month I don't use my beauty clinic's products anymore. Aaaannnnnddd.....I decide to go back again -____-. It's not because I have a huge problem on my skin; acne, oily, and etc...No, but I feel that my face looks so dull without day-night cream, toner, and etc. Besides that, I think I will be spending less money if I keep using the beauty clinic's products than trying many many skincare products.

Since I've bleached and dyed my hair, redyeing becomes a must. It's because my hair keeps growing-it scares me if not-and the new grown hair is black, just like my virgin hair. I keep sticking to Japanese hair dye products because they promise the best result for Asian hair. They also come in many various colors from dark to bright.

So, after trying Palty, Liese, this time I tried Schwarzkopf Fresh Light. The first reason I chose this product is because Fresh Light is now available in Indonesia for IDR 99,000. It's cheaper than other hair dye that sold in many online shops. Actually, I wish someday Palty will be available here too, because I'm always in love with the colors that Palty provides.


This time, I grabbed Fresh Light in Sweet Apricot. Unlike most people, I do not hate the orange tone for my hair. I wanted to diminish yellowish brown on my hair and switch it with sweet orange color.




Inside the box: I got the hair dye, developer, conditioner (which comes in pretty big amount, I like it), the lid (comb-shaped), a pair of gloves, and the instruction.


How to use: Pour the dye to the developer. Shake it well. Change the lid to comb, and it's ready to apply to hair.Wait for 30 minutes (but I always wait for an hour). Rinse it and don't forget to use the conditioner.

To get the even color, I think we all need help cos we can't see the back side. I was helped by my sister, assistant in hair-dyeing. Hahaha


I always do my root first, and wait for about 10 minutes, and continue to do the rest of my hair. My black root need more time to absorb the hair dye.

Here is the detail of the applicator: tilted comb. And the dye itself has purple color, it changes from creamy yellow to purple like this.



After my sister had done dyeing my hair, all I could do was waiting for an hour before I rinsed my hair. So let's do something useful in between, and don't forget to wear shower cap to prevent the air messes the color outcome. Because I am a grateful and dutiful grand daughter, I helped my grandma to ngupas toge for killing the time. Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I looked like a mill-hand, wearing my grandma shower cap, working in front of bean sprouts.




What I like most from Fresh Light hair dye is the conditioner. It has orange scent, so refreshing, and it comes with a big amount in a tube, unlike Palty or Liese that provide it in a sachet, never be enough.

The result!




2-3 cm black root has been gone. My hair color really looks like the Blythe in the box. No more yellowish tone, now it becomes Sweet Apricot. At first look, Sweet Apricot seemed won't give me the bright color, but in real, maybe because the orange tone, it makes my hair looks brighter than it used to be. I think I will give a try to another color from Fresh Light. The Champagne Pink seems good.

Happy new year! Farewell 2012! Welcome 2013!

I'm so excited facing this new year, because like another human being, I have so much resolutions to be achieved this year. Some projects to be done, and 2013 will be a new part of my life, to the next level. I hope!

Anyway, like previous new year's eve, I spent a night with my family. We went to Summarecon Mall Serpong to count down the time before 00:00 and watch fireworks, but I must admitted that it was a mistake. We spent a lot of time on the street. A terrible jam!! Luckily, we reached the mall at the time, an hour before 00:00.

Posing first with Alin!


However, entering the mall was not a relieve. The mall was so crowded, even taking a walk was such a big deal to do.



At first, we just stood there and might just keep that pose until the first day of 2013. No seat, because every seats had been occupied. But, no, it can't be like that! Little Jansen insisted to go for a walk, so my aunt accompanied him to wherever he wanna go. Then, Hanhan seemed tired so he just sit on the pavement.


We searched into the restaurants and hoped to see an empty seat. Fortunate came. We ended by entering Kenny Rogers Roasters simply because we need a seat. We all already had full tummies, but yaaa..a glass of soda was okay.




However, Alin and Hanhan were excited seeing the menu and ordered some meals though they already had dinner.

After that, all we had to do was waiting for fireworks that will launched at 12 A.M. While waiting.....take all the pics!!! *with meme*


I was trying to do Hanhan's signature pose. LOL!



Finally, few more minutes before 12. Kids were rushed outside to see that. I went out too and tried to slip into perfect spot for fireworks view. It was so crowded like this:


However, I succeeded to get a quite good spot with the risk being struck down by rain of dust of burned fireworks. Yepp, right below the fireworks!



2013 had come, signed by the first firework that launched and unified trumpet. January 1st is not only the day of a first year in another year, but also someone's important day because that day, she, officially, became older. Guess who got surprise on January 1st!


It's my sister Nia! And today, she's twenty. Her boy prepared the cake, and made Kenny Rogers' staff to deliver the cake to her.




And guess who was so excited seeing the cake besides the birthday girl! It was Little Jansen.




He was the one who blew the candles and sliced the cake like it was his birthday. Even, he didn't feel satisfied blowing the candles just once. So we lit the candles again, and he blew it again. Hahahahaha.. That was too cute! But after that excitement, he was too tired and decided to fall asleep on the couch. Yaaah it was quite late for him.


That was our celebration for welcoming 2013.


For me, 2012 was a learning year. Although, I didn't attend school, I received many lessons from outside the school. I know maybe I didn't achieve anything in 2012. I failed to graduate on time. I neglected my academic's life.

However, this year, I started making money by myself. Knowing how important money is, and maybe got trapped by looking for money activities. Then finally realized this cannot be ended and just becomes the vicious circle that will bind me. Someone said, "Uang nggak usah dicari. Uang pasti ada aja." Sounds simple, but for me, those sentences have a very deep meaning. No worry, just do some happiness.

This year, I also made some new friends with different characteristics than my university friends'. Many lessons I got from them. I also can say that I have seen much this year, good things, bad things, all I feel can fill something's inside me and make me curious to see more and more. Please allow me to say YOLO. Hehehehe

Yeah, 2013 comes. Though people say this 13 is unlucky number, I really really excited to see what will happen year ahead. Time to learn for mistakes I did. Time to get back to university and graduate asap! And time to start a new adventure I have planned.

Wish me luck! Have a wonderful 2013, everyone!
