Holiday Savior

We want holiday! We want more! Hehe only if we rule the world we can have more.

I have some stuffs I will always bring on my holiday. 

         

1. Pins.

 That's right... Thumb Pins is  needed for my hijab - Islamic cover for women - no matter how expensive the hijab is ;p So I should bring it. The other pin has special meaning too. Sometimes we just tooo excited running in the beach and ripped our clothes. Again, pin can save our holiday from ripped clothes 😝

2. Compact tissues and hand sanitizer .

 I will never leave home without this. As often as we travel, as often we will go to toilet, visit places with unpredictable weather or condition and lots of taste food for sure!

So simple tissue can help us prevent the  super tiny germs or dust ruin our holiday. You don't wanna have some diarrhea or flu during holiday right!? Trust me I ever got those illness and all my faces in photos during that sick holiday was about frowning theme 😪😓

3. Coins.

This small thing help me to pay while shopping. Cash money always need coins specially if you love shopping in traditional market like me. Shopping target won't miss much when you get good price good negotiation, and you have more coins to pay extra.

4. Home key

Might be silly you travel so far and you don't bring this back! So make sure, keep the home key always travel with you. You can always have it in your personal bag. Please make spare keys for your home key. It's a big lose, if unfortunate things happen like you lost your personal bag or luggage, and you come home without key. Place your spare keys in safe place or person you know. Also with this key I save my self from my dad. Hahaha he always frown whenever I called him in the middle of his rest time to open the door, just because I don't have my key.😁✌️

Last but not least...

PLAN .... never run holiday without plan, even it is a simple plan. plan your clothes, accommodations and most of all MONEY! So many stories i heard people didn't  organize their money and they landed in nowhere land, trying sell some stuffs to get back home.

SMILE .... whatever had happened. Rain and cannot get sunshine for photo?Get over it, make you party in the rain.

Laa tagdhob - the hadeeth says -Don't get ANGRY.... Whatever had happened. Being traveler you learn how to handle unpredictable situations. You must conquer your anger too have better situations. Don't let the anger runs your holiday!

Have fun under the sun in your holiday!

Kelas Pilihan #HappinessProject

Ketika masa SMU dulu, semua teman berharap masuk kelas jurusan favorit, IPA. Tapi  hati ini terpanggil ke sebuah kelas Bahasa. Hanya kelas ini saja yang mempelajari bahasa asing, sastra dan mengabaikan sedikit logika matematika. Eeeh tapi di mata beberapa orang, kelas ini dianggap kelas buangan. Hanya yang tidak diterima masuk ke kelas IPA dan IPS, akan masuk ke sini. Bahkan gosip berhembus soal kelas Bahasa adalah kelas anak-anak kelas bandel!

Apapun kata orang-orang, tidak membuat keinginan masuk kelas Bahasa mundur sedikitpun. Dan masuklah ke dalam kelas 3 Bahasa. Ada ibu guru wali kelas yang begitu perhatian, ibu guru funky dan juga pak guru vintage- ya secara kasat mata atau secara pola pikir- hihi.

Mata pelajaran di kelas ini sungguh menarik. Mana ada anak SMU belajar hurub Arab Melayu? Dimana tulisan pisang dengan pasang sama bentuknya? Ya di kelas Bahasa. Adakah kelas yang diajarkan untuk mendengarkan lagu? Ya cuma di kelas Bahasa lahhh. Pelajaran bahasa Jerman kami mendengarkan lagunya Oom Elvis Presley.  Sisa waktu kami juga main. Scrabble itu hal biasa di kelas Bahasa *pamer*

Teman-teman di kelas ini pun seperti warna-warni lolipop. Ada sang pemain biola, ada pengibar bendera dan juga pemain teater, dan sebagainya. They came with colors just like rainbow. Indah dalam perbedaan. Hijab tak berhijab, Muslim Kristen Buddha, we all united in kelas Bahasa.

Tak sedikitpun menyesal atau malu saat memasuki kelas itu. Seriously! The knowledge that I had in the class, shaped my personality and leaded my interest. Pengetahuan-pengetahuan yang ada di kelas Bahasa mengantarkan hati ini masuk ke jurusan Sastra. Ikut tes dan berhasil mendarat di Sastra Jepang UI.

Senaaang sekali hati ini ada di kelas Bahasa. Bahkan membuat  bisa membuat kemampuan akademis yang  cemerlang. Lebih bahagia lagi karena pilihan hati masuk kelas Bahasa direstui orang tua—nuhun pisan to Mama Papa. I was having happy time in kelas 3 Bahasa. One day, I will do the same to my kids, they are free to choose their own choice. So I will inherit the happy feeling too:))

The Early Design

One of my nephew tried brief introduction about design. Voila the above scribble is the results. He picked his own colors and strokes. Nice and catch. Wish there is a computer application could print this in to a fabric directly.:))

#Poem - Empty Days

Femme in Brand

In biscuit pack...

In nougat pack...

Many food product use the creator name in their own product. But when it is not enough, they feel the face image branding is good way. Take a look those two pictures above. Both showing classic look a like lady, shows in the product, with typical way of pose. But it  will be memorable and easily identified by the customer to remember the product. If the product quality is good, taste yum, people will always remember the lady face. No matter how classic their style is:D The brand is the lady its self.

The typical for this brand image is:
Be classic: The pose, the color choices and clothes
Be Young : It shows  how long is the product has last, the younger of the image, the longer the product has been selling
Be Happpy : Don't sell the awkward pose ! The character should smiling no matter how classic:D
Be Different : Put the maker original name, complete full name, but it should be different from other product.


Then I remember my grandma who can make many good yummy cookies . Will she accept if later I put her face on the pack , if I sell her creation? Peace yo Nek...I am joking.

Surprised!

I was planning. But I can not decide, when it will happen. Its about another resolution to be able to get back my brain in sharpen way. Curious, the basic value that I have to be able sustain in this situation right know. After the curious with child's world, happy in my own childhood, little bit obsessed with my childhood, now it became a value. The curious will never stop, the needs to know every second about these young and new human.Freshness of their spirit. It became my own curious and value.


Move on. I think being curious its not enough, but should have some plan and ideas build inside. Yes, inside of a human, what you can find? It is beyond the flash and meat or even tiny second of cells. It is a soul, spirit and power which can be controlled and uncontrolled. Depend on the human manage it. Since human, not that simple, curious of a child , to a child, has moved me to wider aspects, bigger view in to humanistic side.
I was happy when I saw the detective works, how he solve problems to helps human and use other human. I was interest how war was painful and leaved some traces of scars for human and society. I was happy seeing Doraemon move from one side of world to another world , by truly magic, which is absurd and so foolish. And those movie experience, complete me to grow me in to 'older' mindset. Still with some foolish and ridiculous side in my brain.
A friend, many friends, thinks I am older than my age, because the way I am thinking and solving problems. I just realize, this answering my own inside , why I can be wise and good listener, beneath my foolish. What make this skills growing well. Is it because my circular friends? Is it because my choices of reading or movie? Is it talent? But this situation, somehow carrying me into a mature side. Which lead me to get indepth with the world of human and psychology. I am very and always interest with those two topics. I was deeper with human in culture, through Japanese. Now, soon, insha Allah, I am going further to the character of human. Somehow, the universe or law attraction, or whatever they name it, but I called the destiny , have been set  me in. I get in my own scenario of dreaming. Since many years ago I was interest in psychology, I had choose-accidentally- to be shrink, as my aunt was asking what college I would take. I was answering Pshychology. But then it is not happen that simple. But now, more than anything, I am very close with my surround and environment, and my choice and my faith, I am going learn it.

Masha allah. ALLAH make it simple. My dad just say easily, back me up easily to support me back to the school. I feel so surprised. Never expect it will happen this soon. When I was planning to another step, but got no good result after working it hard, I get another plan to do. Like the working plan B after the failed of Plan A.Wonderful surprise!
