Growing Up

Since this morning, I've been visiting about 30 profiles of my primary friends in Facebook. Wow maaan! I've just realised how much they've grown up through these years. You know, they all have changed, from those geeky and nerdy kids to those fashionable and adorable people. I don't really interact with them anymore, but yea, I do miss them tho :)

My mind started to fly far far away, to a kingdom I used to go in my dream whenever I tried to be alone. Yea, I safely arrived there and the kingdom was just as hectic as usual. I went up to the mountain and voila, I found a perfect spot for me to split into two. 

My other personality and I.

I asked her if I have grown much but she just kept silent.

I asked her if I'm still a kid but she just smiled.

I kept on asking her so many questions about why I couldn't be like my friends, why they seemed so happy, why they seemed like the one I wanted to be.

Yea, I knew the answer and those questions were actually useless. I was brought to reality back and found myself still here, in my room, in front of my mac.

Things changed and will never be the same.

Time was just ticking away, didn't care even though I asked him to stop for a while.

I used to be such a strong girl, then I grew up, forgetting that I was strong. I grew up being such a fragile girl that thought she could do everything but things just didn't let her to. I grew up, forcing myself to be as strong as metal. Yeah, it worked, at the outside. I grew up by blaming people around me. I grew up and being such an arrogant girl, thought that I could do everything better than anyone else.

And I realised , I turned myself down.

I am the one who can change myself.

Not the time nor people around me.

I am the one who can make myself moved on.

Not the time nor people around me.

I am the one who understands what growing up means for myself.

Not the time or people around me.

Happy Birthday, X. Have a great one !

Today,

Restus has gone to the pussy-heaven.

he'll be alright, won't he?

Beauty and the Beast

Wow it's been like ages since the last time I posted something on this blog. It's not that I didn't want to, but just.. I didn't know what to talk about. 

Anyways, now I'm freaking addicted to the Disney's Beauty and the Beast, which I'm sure you know very well of.

Beauty and the Beast is a 1991 Disney's animation, originally from France and that's why they named the major character as Belle, which means beauty in French.

Belle was told to be the most beautiful woman in her town and also the funniest one, as her hobby was reading books without caring what people said. Maurice, the 'loony' inventor, took a wrong turn to go to an invention championship and was trapped in Beast's castle, causing the two to meet. Belle found her father being a prisoner in Beast's castle and asked Beast if she could replace her father in being Beast's prisoner.

The Beast is actually an enchanted prince named Adam, who was cursed to be a beast by an enchantress, who was disguised herself as an old woman beggar, because of his selfishness and ignorance. The only way to break the spell is to learn how to love and earn her love in return, before the last petal of his enchanted rose fell, which would bloom until his twenty-first birthday. 

In his castle, Beast was not alone. There were Lumiere, Cogsworth, Mrs Potts, Fifi and Chip.

I really recommend it to you all, as it is a long-lasting movie of Disney.

Enjoy!

well well, tonight i'll talk about peter pan...

JAKARTA

i don't understand why i'm so mellow like this. lonely. homesick. wanna go home. crying, especially before going to sleep, became my new daily activity for the first week in term3. at first i tried to think positively, it might be PMS, or might because holiday had just finished or might be iron deficiency ( i learned it at school that iron deficiency could lead us to be grumpy and sensitive and moody). but it's not! it's not PMS or holiday-mood nor iron deficiency but it's because i feel so lonely.

i'm not that friendly or easy to get along with other people. i could stay quiet if no one asked me anything. and there's not a lotta people who understand me ( when i said understand me, i really mean it). and voila, elizabeth vania feels lonely in this freckin auckland! last holiday, i went back to indonesia and gosh, i really realized that no matter how bad jakarta is, it's still my city, where i've grown up and spent most of my life. even though here was a bomb or some other things, jakarta is the most comfortable city in the world. 

#3 Culinary In Bali

The food in Bali was awesome. They use a lot of spice to make it way tastier. I feel it's kinda similar to Thai's food somehow. Bali has its own traditional food such as Ayam Betutu or Satay Lilit. Satay Lilit is seafood satay and it was awesome! Ayam Betutu is chicken with their traditional spice and I like it better than satay lilit :) Here, I'm gonna show you some restaurants that I visited when I was in Bali.

SATAY LILIT

BUMBU BALI

It is located in Tanjung Benoa. For me, after going and eating at another restaurants, the satay lilit that I had here was the best. The level of grilling this satay might be almost perfect :) It's crispier and 'gurih'. Hard to explain with my broken english.

When you arrive here, you will be served Indonesian crackers called 'kerupuk' with chilli as well. The interior design is awesome. It is so Balinese and so romantic at night because they put traditional lamp for lighting. The waiters were great and friendly. Pretty sure you want to go back after visiting it.

Oh, it has cooking class also. You can check it here

KUDETA

Kudeta is located in Seminyak. The location is in front of the beach so it's really great. It's a nice place for relaxing, because you can do sunbathing then straight eating after that and watch sunset with your partner! When I came there, that place was full of foreigner, there's no native Indonesia as I could see. The waiters weren't as friendly as the other restaurants, maybe because I am Indonesian lol. The price is quite expensive for Indonesian people, but actually it's worth.

I got risotto, pizza and brulee as the dessert. Honestly, the food wasn't really great as I thought before. They were great and delicious, but not as delicious as I thought. But for wedding reception, this place is really cool. IT IS SO ROMANTIC WOW WOW WOW!

Actually I'm not really good at reviewing this culinary subject so for now it's enough. I'm gonna post more next time !

#2 winter holiday

After making this blog for like several months, this might be the 1st time I really write with all of my heart. Well, this is my winter holiday and I'm back in Indonesia *it's really wonderful anyway*. First, I went to Bali for 5 days and it was awesome!

I went there with my family and we stayed in Kuta Seaview Hotel. There was a lil bit annoying problem about the room but it was fine. The room I got is quite simple, which simple means small but enough. But it has suite room *sure it does* and the suite room is cool. The price is reasonable too and we got breakfast everymorning. The restaurant is an Italian Restaurant but their fried noodle is great! The swimming pool isn't huge but I like the atmosphere. I did sunbathing there but I couldn't see any significant difference.

I have a temporary tattoo! It was angel's wings. They were way cool but when I was taking shower I rubbed it so it's not clear now. I don't know why but I always have a freak obsession of angel's wings. Whenever I see angel's wings, eventhough they're small, for me they look so powerful and strong. Weird huh?

Well, it's enough for now. I'm gonna post another one about the culinary in Bali. L8R :)

hello! this is my first post in this blog.

actually i have nothing to write on but i think i should write something.

okay, it's ridiculous.

now, i'm addicted to ALL AMERICAN REJECTS , esp. their song called GIVES YOU HELL.

it's incredible awesome and i really love the video :)

actually, i prefer mellow song to this kind of song, but i don't know why, this song is easy to sing-a-long lol

here's the lyrics :

Gives You Hell Lyrics

I wake up every evening
With a big smile on my face
And it never feels out of place.
And you're still probably working
At a 9 to 5 pace
I wonder how bad that tastes

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell

Now where's your picket fence love
And where's that shiny car
Did it ever get you far?
You never seem so tense, love
Never seen you fall so hard
Do you know where you are?

Truth be told I miss you
Truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man thats worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell
[Gives You Hell Lyrics On http://www.elyricsworld.com/ ]
Tomorrow you'll be thinking to yourself
Where did it all go wrong?
But the list goes on and on

Truth be told I miss you
Truth be told I'm lying

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell

Now you'll never see
What you've done to me
You can take back your memories
They're no good to me
And here's all your lies
If you look me in the eyes
With the sad, sad look
That you wear so well

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell
If you find a man that's worth the damn and treats you well
Then he's a fool you're just as well hope it gives you hell

When you see my face
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you walk my way
I hope it gives you hell, I hope it gives you hell (hope it gives you hell)
When you hear this song and you sing along well you'll never tell
And you're the fool I've just as well I hope it gives you hell
When you hear this song I hope that it will give you hell
You can sing along I hope that it puts you through hell
