Blibli Meets Style Event

Hey guys!!
Whaddup...?!

Holiday Holiday Holidaaaaaay~~

Yep,it's December already.. How's your preparation for the holiday? I hope you can enjoy your holiday time with your family and the beloved ones :)

Me?? Well.. I have a MC-ing job for New Year's Eve in Sentul Bogor fortunately.. Because this is the first time I get a job for Holiday time.. It feels amazing and I'm so grateful.. But coin has two sides.. The bad side is I cannot spend holiday with my family this year.. Kinda sad cuz I always spend the NYE with my family back in Indramayu..

So back in November, I went to Blibli Meets Style event.. Blibli is an online mall.. Where you can buy a lot of authentic stuff there.. I once bought a perfume there because they offered the real deal.. I mean IDR 450.000,- perfume became IDR 89.000,- only! It was included shipping cost to Jakarta also.. Man! I saved a transportation cost, parking cost and also time cost. It was wrapped so fine and I got my perfume safely.. (Sorry I forgot to take a picture back then) You definitely should check Blibli.com out!


I met Diana Rika Sari for the first time here. There were also Michi Momo, and other Bloggers (Beauty and Photography). So, there was a fashion show here performed by cutiepie. I mean these kids are so adorable! Look at 'em ^^


And also there was a fashion talk show with Diana Rika Sari talkin about what is going to be a trend in 2015.. So, shall we begin??

Diana Rika Sari took a note from what she saw from Jakarta Fashion Week 2015 back then. She told us what's in her mind about what are going to be the trends of 2015 :

1. Black & White
 2. Black / White / Neutral
3. Geometric / Art Deco
4. Art on Fabric
5. Runway to Real Life
After explaining about what's HOT in 2015, Diana opened a question session, where audiences could asked here.. And then suddenly I saw the girls the twins Gabriella Olivia and Ines! Yay, finally I met somebody I knew.. So I moved my seat with them.. They looked gorgeous as always! And after the moment I moved, Valerie entered the room! Another yay! Hahaha All I thought about that moment was "We are going to have a lot of selfies #lol".

But since Gaby have another appointment.. So, only three of us who continued the selfie madness using Ines Magic Phone!


Lookin so fineeeee even tho this were taken in a dark room using front camera!

Well actually, there was a dresscode for this event. But I didn't know as Ines,Gaby and also Valerie. But Ines won the best dress because she wore the rainbow clothes with her gorgeous hair. While Valerie and me wore all black clothes.. hahaha

After the event, I took a picture with all the attendances & blogger fellows
Thank you Fiona for inviting me and also Blibli for an amazing night!

Madame Tussauds - Bangkok (2013)


Hey guys! Whaddup..?!

I just cleaned up and organized some pictures on my laptop. And I found some pictures that I took when I had a trip in Thailand. Thailand is one of my favorite destinations recently. Why? Maybe it’s because of the food, the people and the atmosphere. It’s not so different with Indonesia but I found a lot of things new here. But, the struggle that I met here is many people in Thailand can’t speak English.

Well there isn’t a lot of things that I could tell you this time, but here they are pictures of me visiting Madame Tussauds in Bangkok back in 2013.

PS: The pictures contain silly materials & poses

WAKU WAKU JAPAN CAFE Opening Party

Hey guys! Whaddup..?!

Finally the Waku Waku Japan Café is officially opened. It’s located in Gandaria City, Upper Ground. I had an opportunity to attend the opening party of it. It was actually planned that I would go there with Ka Bena (benablog), Ka Bintang (sugarandspace), Ka Vendry (moinblog) & Aulion. But from them all, only the two of us that could make it.

The Opening Party was held in Gandaria City. There were 2 events. One was located in Gandaria City, The Piazza. And the other one was in the café itself. I was arrived earlier than the schedule, because the location is really near from my board house. Then I met Ka Bintang there a moment later.

I was aware that there would be a plenty of blogger invited to the event, but I wasn’t expected that Stella Lee was there too. Because I thought she’s still in Japan (based on her Instagram’s post). And I saw Clara Devi was there too! Oh, this event would be so much fun!

First let me show the interior and the atmosphere from the café itself. This is the entrance of the café.

And then these are the seats. Well, there are two kind of seats that you can choose, the chairs and on the pillow like you see on the picture below.

The café itself has two rooms, the inside one and the outside one. Actually I’m in doubt if you ask me “Would you like to prefer, to sit inside the café or outside?” Because if you choose the indoor one, you can feel Japan atmosphere by seeing a Sakura decoration on the ceiling + you can sit on the pillow like the Japanese usually do.

But if you choose to be seated outside, you can see The Piazza directly and there are a lot of traditional Japanese things as the decoration.



That’s the café tour guys, now let’s continue to tasting the main meals of Waku Waku Japan Café. We were offered to choose three meals. First, Tai-Chazuke. It is a meals contains of freshly sliced sea beam (in Indonesia we called it Kakap).

And then we had Tempura-Chazuke.

Last one was Salmon-Chazuke.

*trying to be a food blogger*
So, Chazuke is a main course that contains rice with some vegetables and Japanese spices like wasabi and others that I forgot to ask. (because I was too eager to eat, hungryyyyyy)
And the mixed rice and vegetables was poured with fish broth (I guess) and you have to eat it right away before the rice get mushy.

What makes the three of em different is the topping. But if you ask, which one is my favorite, well because I only tried Salmon and Tempura ones, I prefer to choose the Salmon one. Because I love Salmon >.<
*come back to be a fashion blogger*

After we had the chazuke, we tried the most popular Japanese food in Indonesia. Yep! It’s Sushi. But it wasn’t the ordinary sushi that I usually eat because this one is placed in a bowl. Wait, what? Yeah, it’s called Chirashi Sushi. Actually this menu is pretty common in Japan, but maybe for some Indonesian like me who hasn’t visited Japan yet will be unusual to see sushi in a bowl.

*come back to be a Food Blogger*
Hmm,well actually it was kinda unusual for me to see Sushi that I usually eat with this kinda sushi. I mean, have you ever see a sushi in a  bowl? I haven't. If you guys can see, the Cirashi Sushi kinda looks like a mixed rice with some fish topping (fish ball,fish meat and others fish things???) and vegetables. But it tastes really delicious! I mean look at the Cirashi Sushi, doesn't it look so Kawaii to you??  ლ(́◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ) 
*come back in to be a Fashion Blogger*

After having meals, we continued in to the opening event itself which was located in the Piazza Gandaria City.

First, we wore a Japanese Traditional cloth, Yuka. And I got a samurai.

Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that Arief (Poconggg) was also in the Opening Party.

After trying the Yuka, the MC of the event told us that Ultraman was going to join the crowd! Yay... And taraaaaaaa! I presented to you, Ultraman Mebius.
And I got a chance to take a picture with him (+ a selfie ^^).

After taking a picture with Ultraman, I tried to play some Japanese Traditional Games ^^

Food Tasting with Waku Waku Japan Cafe

Hey guys! Whaddup..?!

It's December already! Huh.. There are a lot of stories that I haven't told you yet. It happened on November. But wait,one of it was from Halloween Eve -_- But,hey I'm going to tell you about what I did on November.

Some of you maybe already knew about Waku Waku Japan. Yes! It's a Japanese TV station which is aired in TV Cable (Indonesia). So,this Waku Waku Japan TV is going to have a Cafe in Jakarta. But before they opened the cafe,they wanted to know about Indonesian's taste especially for snacks. In order to know about it,they invited some bloggers & people to taste it before they launched the cafe & the snacks.

Ka Vendryana (Moinblog) & Ka Bintang (sugarandspace) were invited to the food tasting. They asked Ka Bena, Aulion & Me to join them too. Since I didn't have an activity that day,so I joint the food tasting.

I went to the food tasting with Ka Bintang, while Ka Vendry went with Ka Bena & Aulion. I guessed that only Bloggers which were invited to the food tasting, but it turned out there were some JKT48's members!

To be really honest, they were cutter in the real life than on TV #itsacompliment :) We introduced ourselves but I didn't remember all of em. But I recognized Haruka, since her English & Japanese are really good!

Ok,enough for the JKT48,let's focus on the food. Before the food tasting, we were being told about the Waku Waku Japan Cafe. It would be opened on Gandaria City! Yay,it's really close from my board home.

First I tasted  Shiki-Oriori. It's a Traditional Cookies based on seasons in Japan. First, I had Autumn and Winter. Autumn contains Brown Sugar and Soyu. Winter contains Chocolate and Sansho.

The tastes of these two cookies are different than all the cookies I have ever tried. If you see from the picture above, Winter looks like an ordinary choco cookies, but hey there is a surprise taste in it. (Try it your self in Waku-Waku Japan Cafe). And then we have The Autumn ones. Autumn contains Soyu sauce. And as you guys can expect, yes it tastes salty yet spicy.

After tasting the Autumn and Winter, we tasted Summer and Spring. Summer contains Black Sesame, Spring contains Matcha.



Like you guys can see, Spring and Summer isn't far from my expectations. But the Matcha in the Summer one isn't strong. So, for those who doesn't like Green Tea that much,maybe should try this Summer cookies. And about the Spring, as you can see on the picture, there are plenty of black sesames in it, and yeah the scent of the black sesame is stronger than the Matcha one. Spring tastes Umami!

After tasting the Shiki OriOri, I taste another cookies. Well, it's a mini pastry I guess.


I totally forget about these pastries name, but these pastries suit very well with tea or maybe coffee. You can spend a noon with your friends here at Waku-Waku Cafe (Which will be opened from Nov 28th until Jan 28th).

Well, If you are asking, I guess my favorite cookie goes to the Winter one!

Thanks to BBlog Indonesia and WakuWaku Japan for having me there ^^ You can read the details one about the cookie and food tasting with Waku Waku in MOINBLOG (PS : there is my photo there).

And yeah, I'm gonna post the Waku Waku Japan Cafe Opening Party on the next post. You can check the further info about the Waku Waku Japan Cafe here : WAKUWAKU CAFE 
Till then!
