Time has passed. I still remember that last year, expecting the new year to come, I hope I will get my bachelor degree. And I got it, thankfully, no matter what happened.

I, previously, thought I won't be present on my own graduation ceremony. Well, because it was very late for me, and I imagined it would be very awkward because no one would care anymore. But, as now I know doing undergraduate thesis, having to experience the sidang were not an easy thing, I didn't care anymore whether people care or not. This is my moment. I stopped thinking about whether someone would come or not. I, myself, must be present no matter what.

And it turned out to be a happy family day.

Yayy, I finally graduated.

Mama, Papa, Alin, and also my grandma were coming on that day. Nia, my sister, couldn't come because she had works to do in Jakarta. My graduation ceremony was held on Wednesday so working people like her won't be able to come.

Nurul has also graduated

OK! Now finished talking about my graduation, let me continue to another life updates. I blogged a bit of life updates in September here. Looking back at it made me amazed how things change so fast. I was kinda depressed at that moment because of confusion, stressed at work, quarter-life crisis (lol!).

Now I got a new job. Well actually, my life wasn't changed that much from two months before. I didn't get a job that suddenly makes me a millionaire. It's not even the so-called a dream job. But when the environment changed, and I finally got out from the tight situation, I felt like a whole new world is now before me.

I moved to Bandung a month ago. I'm happy I can move away from Jakarta. To be honest, this is the most exciting part of this new job, being in Bandung and be freed from Jakarta.

Even though on the first day I arrived at hotel at 3 a.m. in the morning (then it was already the second day), exhaustiveness didn't reduce my amazement. It was such a rare experience to be there.

In Bali, what I need to do was to standby at different hotel from where I stayed, so at noon I was there, working and snacking at the restaurant.

But the hotel has a very nice view. Surely, working there became kinda nice too.

In the evening, I went back to hotel and spent the day watching Nat Geo People channel. And I was attached to Baking Good, Baking Bad show. Even I started the day watching it.

Last Sunday was so much fun because I finally could get my geeky nature pleased. I went to Indonesia Comic Con 2015 at JCC, with my fellow..let's say...geek, Nurul. Alin also came with me.

I was greeted by the giant poster of Star Wars. It made me feel more excited for the new Star Wars coming up in December. And everything there at Comic Con was mostly dominated with Star Wars theme, the cosplayers, the figures, the displays, all about Star Wars.

Other interesting spots at Indonesia Comic Con is the Secret Walls, the live art event that already been hosted in over 50 cities.

Wow, this blogpost is delayed for almost a month! I could not manage the to find wifi where I can upload pictures without any concern the quota will run out. Imagine how's a life of a self-proclaimed-blogger without the internet.

This time I would like to share about my signature look that I wear it on daily occasions, for casual hangouts. I really like applying red blusher. For me, it will make the overall look younger because red on matte base will give vibrant look that appears fresh. 

To add the effect, I do cheat on this look. Wearing eyelashes for casual hangouts sometimes make me uncomfortable. Unconsciously, I will check my fake eyelashes nonstop during the day. I'll be worried if the fake eyelashes aren't attached well enough. And because my eyelashes is really short and thin, mascara doesn't do much. So, to solve this no-eyelashes-problem, I drew fake eyelashes on bottom eyeline. This method makes my eyes appear dolly without too much effort in putting the fake eyelashes. Drawn bottom eyelashes also make the eyes look droopy, kind of giving young looks, representing the innocence (hehe).

Check this step-by-step: 

For lips, my casual look usually just involves the simple gradient lips. I apply the bright red or pink lipstick only on the inner part of the lips and pat it to spread the color. The lipstick will complement the blush-on I wear.

The blusher is from Holika-Holika and lipstick is Etude House's.

See you on the next post.
