Yeah, you don't misread the title. As a single. February is a month of love, people said. I still don't get it why the first thing most people think about February is Valentine's Day. Because what I think is my payday is sooner or when I still in school, I'm happy because I'll get my pocket money sooner (I get pocket money monthly). So for this week blog challenge, I will share How to Spend Your Valentine's Day As a Single. Based on my opinion :D

1. Working

Let me remind you, 14 February 2017 is Tuesday. For some of us that already working, we need to go work because Valentine's Day is not a holiday. So what to do? Just go to work. You won't even remember Valentine's Day if you have deadline approaching. After working you will feel tired and want to go home quickly (if not overtime), take a bath, eat and sleep. Aaaaand it's already 15 February! No, this is not the end of the post. If you are the type that don't like to go home early, you may continue reading.

2. Hangout with Friends

You have nothing to do and want to celebrate Valentine's Day? Why not? Ask your friends to hangout somewhere. It can be your house, their house, cafe, restaurant, or anywhere else. You can exchange chocolate, buy flowers and balloon, then you can use that to take nice photos with your friends. Something else you can do together is eating and gossiping chatting. You can talk about photos that are posted on instagram that day, it would be interesting *evil laugh*.

3. Watch something a whole day
Marathon. Watching movie, drama or series a whole day while laying on the bed. Yeah, It's not healthy I know, but let us just say Valentine's Day is the day for resting. But I'm sure your parent don't like this idea, you still need to help them. Oh and I can recommend you something to watch.

4. Eat Chocolate

It doesn't need to be a Valentine's Day to eat chocolate, BUT most chocolate will have discount in February, so let's buy them. A lot XD We can eat it for breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner. Is it just me, eh? Don't feel sad just because no one give you chocolate. Why need someone to give you when you can buy it yourself? ._. We need to be independent! We can stand on our own feet! *suddenly giving speech*

5. Go somewhere alone
No, not a trip. I mean just strolling around or go somewhere nice to eat alone. I just realized it's fun thing to do sometimes. I know, there will be swarm of couples out there. You can try to look at them in a positive way. Like today, I see some mid-age man and woman take a walk while holding hands. They were so cute! 

Still, you are single or not, Valentine's Day is fun! It's just a day to spread love. But remember to spread love not only on Valentine's Day, you should do that everyday to everyone :) Most people only remember their girlfriend or boyfriend, it's so sad. How come they don't remember their family on Valentine's Day? Well, it's not my business, I know. Valentine's Day is not about receiving, but it's about giving. Actually you realize that you don't have to celebrate Valentine's Day, right? Valentine's Day is not a big deal for me. I just love many chocolate bar is discounted.

So, that's How to Spend Valentine's Day as a Single by me. Do you agree with the list above? Or you have another suggestion? Let me know by writing it in comment section!

I've never been abroad. I've always wanted to go abroad from high school but I don't want to ask my parent for money to go there. So I decided, later when I'm working I should save my money and go abroad. And now, I still can't go abroad because saving money is difficult TT I have so much priority beside travelling that the money just come and go. But still, I will list place I want to go someday for this week Weekly Blog Challenge ^^

I don't know when I start to love (almost) everything about Japan, but my wish to go there is from long time ago. Junior high school maybe? At first just because I like reading manga, after that I start to watch dorama and I realize Japan have so many beautiful places and delicious food. I want to try their food, go to shrine, onsen, see Sakura, go to the festivals, wear yukata and kimono, become a ninja, etc.

No, I want to go to Korea not because I want to see some idols or some 'ahjussi rasa oppa', -- but might as well if I'm already in Korea -- I want to go there because of the place and their street food. Korean drama makes me want to go there. They have so many awesome places and street food that looks delicious. Don't forget the make up, my friends say their make up price is cheaper than food price. Definitely will buy a lot of make up when I go there. I already imagine myself strolling in a palace using hanbok kyaaa XD

This too, for a simple reason. Tulips and bicycle. Seeing that colorful tulips while bicycling seems fun and will make a beautiful scene. I would love to ride bicycle all day long. And sleeping all day long the next day. Because my leg will become stiff(?).

New Zealand is more like a place I want to stay than place I want to go for vacation. At first I even want to work there and my parent was like "What will you do there?". Err working? They said I will work as a farmer there because we imagine NZ as a green place. I might as well become a farmer like harvest moon's main character. Because, why not? I'm serious considering this as an option for my life because I just can't stand a crowded places. But I also easily get lonely, so I still need a city-like place to live.

So that are some country I want to go someday when I have enough money. Or when I win a lottery. Or when I get married with someone from there. Or I can teleport like Jin's father. But let's stick to the first one. As I finished listing the places I realize I just love places that has beautiful scenery. Well, who doesn't? Places that I can just walk around and get lost. But no, I don't want to get lost because it's time consuming. I love walking around but in here I need to take vehicle to go around. And if I did walk around, the dust and smoke from vehicle is killing me. And don't forget the catcalling. Even when you ride motorcycle people still catcall you, let alone when you walk --'

Yup, that is my list. What's yours? Share it on the comment section!

P.S. : In case you wonder why I don't insert image source, I got them from pixabay :)

Talking about collecting something, I remember when I'm in elementary school I was collecting cute loose leaf for binder. I mean, who doesn't? They sell it everywhere, the loose leaf. Even abang-abang who sells toys sell it. If I'm not mistaken, the range price is around thousands rupiah. Sometimes you get 3 loose leafs for Rp. 1000, sometimes you only get one with that price if that loose leaf is thick or considered rare. Yeah, rare. Now I realize no loose leaf is rare. When I think about it, it was so funny. We paid a quite expensive price for a paper that we don't even write on it. Or at least me, I was like that.

In junior high school, I started to know manga. There is a book rental near my school. Well, not too near, I need to cross the street twice to go there. I forgot who introduced me to this kind of things(?), but she success to make me go there almost every week. As I remember, my pocket money is Rp. 200.000 at that time and the rental is cost Rp. 1000 - Rp. 1500 per comic. If I want to read novel, the price is start from Rp. 15.000. Now I start wondering how I can survived at that time still need to buy something for lunch and keep renting comic and novel. Beside renting, I also start to buy it. I collect manga and novel that I really like, if the story is ordinary I just rent it. I bought manga or novel every month, either one novel or some manga per month. That cost a lot for junior high schooler, but I'm happy :D

On high school, I don't have specific interest. But I think on the last year of high school, I started to have interest for Nendoroid. So random, I know, but they are so cute! At that time I think I need to start collecting money and start to collect it. I also have a plan to display them on a glass cabinet if I have many of them. Ha! Maybe I'm a person who can get easily bored, I only have one set and even that was not original one. Yeah, it's barang kw. We will not see the difference at glance, but if looked at closely the difference will show. For example some paint is not looking good or their hinge is stiff (difficult to move). I don't mind, I like both of them. Maybe If I can take a photograph of them better I will start to buy nendoroid again and It's dangerous for my wallet.

After that time, I think I stop collecting things. If movie, drama, manga, and novel on my laptop can be considered as collection, I collect those things. But everybody do that, don't you? I can't say that is my collection, but yeah that is my hobby. I wonder why I stop collecting things. It feels so fun even your wallet is empty! Maybe it's just not the right time. Maybe later I will start to find another thing I want to collect. So, what is your collection? Mind sharing to me? Who knows I can join you collecting that things.

This week Weekly Blog Challenge's topic is favorite song. I listen to the music everyday while working or writing, but I'm not really an up-to-date person. My playlist is mostly songs from last year and the newest song I have is Goblin OST. I tend to listen Japan or Korean songs than Western. So I will tell you 5 songs that I like currently.

1. Heize - Round and Round (Goblin's Soundtrack)

I'm waiting for this song to be released from the first episode, but they released it recently. Yesterday? Two days ago? I forgot. I'm not sure what the lyric is about but I like it because of the music. It's like the music is so sad.

Now every time I listen to this song I will feel that bittersweet feeling. Because of the Goblin's ending. Yeah, I almost write a spoiler here, but I will leave it like that.

2. Big Bang - Fxxk It

I'm a fan of Big Bang. Other Idol groups come and go(?) in my life, but Big Bang stays. I can't never get enough listening their song. Fxxk It is their latest song, together with Last Dance and Girlfriend. I like Fxxk It because the song makes me feel energetic. The other 2 songs is kind of mellow, IMO. Even I don't understand the lyric and I can't sing it, I just like it!

3. Hoshino Gen - Koi (Nige Haji's Soundtrack)

I recommend you to watch this dorama! Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu is a cute and sweet type of romance drama. The closing soundtrack is Koi sung by Hoshino Gen, the lead actor. When I watch this dorama first episode, I straightaway search for the song on youtube and I realized that cute uncle is the singer. Most of his songs is so unique (you may try to listen to this). I like them. And also the dance is so catchy, it's simple but memorable(?). I like Hoshino Gen too despite of his height *burned by his fans*.

4. Superfly - 99 (Doctor X 4 Soundtrack)

I love this song but I can't find the good quality one. Only the drama version. If you watch Michiko, you will know most soundtrack is sung by Superfly, this song is the latest that's why I mention this song. I'm still searching the full version, if you know please let me know on the comment ^^

5. Blackpink - Playing with Fire

Yeah I love Blackpink too. Their song is good. Especially Playing with Fire and Whistle. I don't understand the lyric (and not bother to find out) but I like listening to it. Maybe because I have two kinds of mood when listening to songs, either sad song or energetic song. This song is categorized as energetic song. If I can dance, maybe I already make a cover dance using this song. Unfortunately, I can't.

Yep, that's all. I realized there is no Western song or Indonesian song on the list. Because as I said, I'm not too up-to-date with songs. Of course I listen to western music as well, but not much. And mostly I listen to drama or movie soundtrack. Maybe It's time for me to check what's the currently most listened song out there(?).

FOOD! If you follow my instagram, you will think that I like eating so much. You're correct! Well, who doesn't like to eat? I'm not just like to eat, but love to eat. I love dessert so much, but I'm also fine with main course type of food. Oh! FYI, even If I love dessert, I don't like something with cheese. But I do love pizza and pasta with cheese. Hm, that's not dessert ya.

Who doesn't love chocolate? Well, I think there are people that have allergy to chocolate and I know some people that doesn't like chocolate. They exist :( I love everything that has chocolate flavor like milk, ice cream, cake, snack, etc. Especially food that use dark chocolate. Why I like chocolate cake the most? Because I can easily find cake that use dark chocolate. But yeah, a little bit expensive. Not a big deal for me, because chocolate can make me happy. Tbh, I don't like white chocolate. White chocolate is like a scam, because they don't use cacao at all. Only using chocolate aroma if I'm not mistaken. Well, most people I know like white chocolate, sih.

Sushi

Me also like japanese food like sushi, ramen, bento, and their friends. Raw sushi is delicious, but it depends on the restaurant. Unfortunately I don't like the dipping sauce (i don't know the name), wasabi and gari (the ginger). So I eat sushi directly or dip it to chili flake. Oh no, now I want to eat sushi because of this TT

Eating pizza make me realize not all cheese taste not good. I like mozzarella in pizza and pasta. Or should I say I just love pizza. Everybody loves pizza! End of story.

That's it, some of my favorite food. What is yours? I would love to eat with you(?) some day!

Happy New Year everyone! *party*

Maybe when you read the title you're thinking 'Meh, another new year new me post' or 'Another new year resolution that won't be last for a week'. Or not? That was my reaction when I see my friend's resolution every new year before. Now, here I am writing 'New Year New Me' post. Not sure if this resolution will last until December, but I will try!

When writing this post, I'm wondering what can be considered as resolution. So I'm doing research(?) and asking my friends what are their resolution for 2017. I feel more mature while thinking about my resolution. Last year, I didn't even bother thinking about it. I lived my live aimlessly. There is no target and I'm not sure what I've achieved. And now I get some(?) resolutions in my mind and here is my list:

Get healthier
I'm feeling thankful because my health is great last year. For this year, I'm trying to be healthier (and sexier(?) ). Currently I work on Monday until Friday and I spent most of my time sitting while working. Not much movement beside typing. Yeah I feel like muscles will grow on my fingers. On weekend, I get to move more if I go somewhere. If I have no plan on weekend, I will spend my weekend on my bed, scrolling on timeline and playing game on my phone. Not so productive, right? I realize sometimes my body ache because I seldom move my body. Well, lately I try to walk more on weekdays. So I think I just need to increase it.

I need to watch my diet too. I've managed eating more vegetables and not drinking soda for past few years. This year I want to cut down junk food consumption. And eat more fruit.

More confident
My resolution every year *flipping hair*. It's not that I can't achieved this, but I change a bit every year. At least there is a progress. Better than nothing. Not sure how to achieve this resolution, but environment can affect me in a better way. I think I have a positive environment now, so I will learn from them to be more confident about myself.

Learn to cook
Yeah, I can't cook *hide*. I really need to learn how to cook. Really. Forgive me, Mom.

Can code faster + Get my online portfolio done
Don't laugh at this one, because I'm serious. Sometimes I learn something fast, but sometimes I'm so slow at learning. This year I need to polish(?) my coding skill more and learn something new. I'm wondering whether there are some kind of group or community or anything here, I need someone to teach me or at least a friend that can be invited for discussion. I know I can do this. I just need to be consistent.

Get my online portfolio done. Yeah, I really want to do this, but still can't. I already looked at some people online portfolio. And It's so cool! Then I start to feel not confident about myself. Thinking something like 'What can I do?' 'What should I state on project?' or 'What skill do I really have?'. I'm so frustrated by myself by that kind of thought. I think I will use experiments instead projects for now LOL. I have set my mind. I need to get it done by this year. Please cheer me up!

More consistent on blogging
I need to be more consistent. This year I want my page views per day increase. Hope I can check my Alexa Rank this year *cry*. I want to increase my post about beauty, of course. At least now I have more motivation than last year, so this resolution can be done. I just need to set schedule. Schedule for my life that is a mess.

Time Management
And other management things. Really need to work on time management, because I think my life is not tidy(?) enough. I need to separate deadline for works and for blog. Time for works and time for anything related to blogging. I need to set my sleep and wake up time too, so I can insert time for me to work out. For a better future!

Going somewhere for vacation
Can you call this a resolution? Not sure, but this year I'm planning at least once, going on vacation. I plan go to Lombok first. Maybe on the end of the year. Staycation is fine too. Maybe going to Bedugul for recreation? Zoo? I can do that.

That is all for now. Actually I've already started(?) most of them, but well, we need consistency when working on our resolution. Have you listed your resolution? If you haven't, I suggest you start now!
