bag obsession

Another things that I like more than boys are pretty dresses/clothes and bags. Yass to bags! I remember my mom used to call me 'mata tas-an' means bag-a-holic. Guess what, I still am!

My all time faves are classics. I love simple and minimalistic design that would last for a long long time.

And another gold from instagram, this time from Indonesia.

boy crush

My blog is always about the things that I fond of. Mostly about Korean cuz I just can't drag myself away from K-wave, I am already swept along the curl. No cure, no turning back. It's almost like an addiction. Shall I call myself a hopeless romantic.

Anyway, recently these hunks caught my attention. I am not into Caucasian anymore, so bye Tom Hiddleston and the gang. I am now madly in love with these oppas. 

Yoo Yeon Seok

Lee Sang Yoon

I've been eyeing these oppas since many K-dramas ago. I think I've watched few of Yoo Yeon Seok's movies and dramas, such as 'Architecture 101' and 'A Werewolf Boy'. I've always been noticing that he's handsome but the one that really caught me was his role in 'Mood of the Day'. Heard that there's another movie where he plays as Chil Bong, a handsome highschooler and baseball player, your typical popular oppa at school. Going to watch it later.

About Lee Sang Yoon.. he's kinda cute, I like him since 'Angel Eyes' but not as much as Yoo Yeon Seok. I prefer his reality show called 'Master in the House', I can see that he is as human as everyone else, smart and rational but also clueless and clumsy at the same time, another side of him that I find amusing. For his latest role in 'About Time', hmm... I enjoy watching him and Lee Sung Kyung together in the drama, super good looking couple and pretty outfits. That's why I love K-dramas so much, every aspect is pleasing to the eyes. But story wise, 'About Time' didn't come up to my expectation, visually still very beautiful tho, not gonna complain the stylist.

In conclusion, my ideal type for now is Yoo Yeon Seok. Boyfie/hubby material. I wish I could have him or someone that's like him as my future boyfie/hubby 🙏😜 *setting the bar way too high?

my kinda jam

Back to writing blog slash procrastinating because I am supposed to write my portfolio on atrial fibrillation. Not your ordinary portfolio since I am working in the medical field.

I was kinda bored while reading on ebook, Youtube is always where I opt to. I was going to find anything entertaining and visually pleasing so I ended up watching Red Velvet's MV Bad Boy. And I realized that my jam is kinda on the quirky side, well at least among my friends. I've always been liking Kpop songs especially the catchy ones to me, like f(x)'s then now Red Velvet's and EXO's. And by looking at my choices hence concluded I am a big fan of SM. Such a great company that gathers great talents with superior aesthetics. Kudos! But one exception is Black Pink which I also found out about this group just recently (like EXO whom I just found few months ago, where on earth was I) -- this quirky girl band is from YG.

Here I just want to post my biases among the idols I like. For me, looking at these beauties is a way to de-stress. 

Anddd.. didn't know when it started, I am digging back into Chinese pop songs recently. I used to love Leehom's songs soo much, but to my surprise, I didn't enjoy it as much now. I like Jay Chou's more.

The first MV gives nostalgic feeling as I've been listening to the song since high school probably, and his new songs are also super catchy, though. He hasn't lost his magic on music. And exception for those 2 Chinese musicians I don't really care about their appearance. I like them just for their music. Unlike Korean artists which really hook me with both their songs and superb visual.

current obsessions

How can one not love anything about Korean?

I am so into Korean stuffs (not that) recently, it's been since I came back for good. I just love almost everything about Korean. I am a big fan of their beauty products and their entertainment empire. K-dramas hooked me at first sight then variety shows and super recently ("in one week") I was finally able to recognize the difference between the most talked-about new generations of hallyu (only BTS and EXO tho). I'd say it's quite an achievement for me as I was too ignorant about the hype even when my juniors were so excited to come and see "some Korean boyband" concert last year. I didn't know who was it back then. AND, I think I am converting into an EXO-L. Super late to find out about these handsome boys. Thanks to searching for Kpop workout on Youtube. I am a big noona fangirl once again. And, I am enjoying workout at home listening to catchy Kpop songs!

My next bucket list to be crossed is South Korea definitely. I am hauling K-beauty products and traveling and eating! I hope I could go with my papa and dede ~

I've been wanting to have my hair dyed so badly. I did try using a non-permanent hair dye last time but it's washed off too quick, even with sweat and it stained too. If only I am not working in the medical field, I must have had my hair dyed red.

This is the guy who mesmerized me with his chameleon hair. I am as old as his noona, but whatever ~ Soo good looking ~

Plus he came to play with my favorite 쌍둥이 💕

Out of topic, but this is the color I waaanntt so bad 😍 Will red hair suit me?

Good night!

Macups

When I decided to come back to Indo, I was still contemplating whether I should continue my path in medicine or deviate. I ended up "staying". Little did I know that choosing this path led me to few bunches that are dear to my heart. They kinda grew on me.

Meet Macups!

our very last pic taken at RSHS during OBGYN

They are younger than me (same age as my lil bro) but I don't feel like I was the oldest.. My family in RSHS during my "adaptasi". I thank God that I got to meet these guys since the beginning of my rotation. We became close instantly and dunno how I became one of  Macups.

I became so attached to them unknowingly, my support system!

dyeing my hair red

One day I was browsing thru my instagram feeds when I found this picture of a hair dye. Out of nowhere this idea came up to me to try dyeing my hair (#instagram_is_dangerous as it may lead to countless online shopping). My hair is thin and quite the oily type that I have to wash my hair everyday if I don't want to have a bad hair day. But when I wash and hairdry it too often I will have split ends. Due to the reasons listed above, I have never had my hair dyed. 

So, what made me want to try this product out? 

First of all, it is a temporary hairdye. Second, it is also a hair treatment. Third, it is a Korean product and a friend of mine happened to be in Korea and opened a pre-order.

This was the hair dye / treatment that I used. April Skin Turn-Up Color Treatment (it's the temporary one, since they also have another products called April Skin Turn-Up Color Cream which are the permanent hair dye ones).

 

I am such a sucker for pastel colors (I mean the packaging). Another reason I bought this brand was because of the packaging. And plastic gloves and gown included, too! 

Life safer! 

I found some pictures on the internet showing the result.

I bought the red one, and I didn't apply much. I used like only 1/5 of the tube I think because I just used it for the lower part of my hair. 

This is my normal "never been dyed" hair.

And here is how the color turned out on my unbleached hair. 

Here is some pros and cons.

PROS : 

- They give you plastic gloves and gown.

- The product smells soo good it smells like strawberry (dunno about other color, is it because I bought the red color one?).

- It is indeed a hair treatment because my hair felt softer (tho my hair was always on the smoother side and tend to be oily, the ends are usually drier).

- It claims that the color will only last for about 2 weeks-ish but depends on how often you wash your hair. For me it faded after one week which was good because I can't have red hair for some reason the following week (I washed my hair every other day after I had my hair dyed).

CONS :

- It smudges when your hair is wet, you can't be sweating a lot or wearing white or light colored clothes (solution for this --> wear black).

VERDICT : Good product. I loved it! Should try putting on more dye next time I use it.

hot appas

My bias are the hot appas! Haha. Just killing time as I wrote this but seriously these appas are LIT!!

So in love with these appa deul who are family men 💙 💙 💙

Cha Tae Hyun

with Soo Chan, Tae Eun, Soo Jin and the super good cook Choi Suk Eun eomma

I just happened to watch 2 Days 1 Night one day, and this was the episode I watched. 

I was instantly hooked with this funny actor and his kids (and the variety show). I've just realized that I actually had watched Cha Tae Hyun’s movies such as Speedy Scandal, Oh My Ghost and The Giving Fool. They were really good, entertaining and touching at the same time. I've never been a fan of him because he just looks goofy and the movies are too sad, but NOW I AM!

 

Lee Hwi Jae

with the prettiest eomma Moon Jeong Won, Seo Eon & Seo Jun

I have never heard of Hwi Jae Appa before I watched The Return of Superman. During the early episodes I wasn’t even a fan of this family. I liked Junu Junseo and Daehan Minguk Manse more (Haru okay only, so-so). But since those families left TROS, I started watching Seo Eon and Seo Jun. As I watch them growing up, my heart grow fonder of them.

 

Kwon Yool

Not an appa, just thought he is cute 😊 I watched his dramas since uni without really noticing his presence (Lie to Me and Brain). Same case with the 2 appas mentioned above. Watched Let's Fight Ghost last year and I thought "I knew this guy from somewhere".

Im Si Wan

Another eye candy 💕 To be honest haven't watched any of his movies but I did watch some of his dramas tho until now none that I fully interested in and watch completely. So does for his recent drama The King in Love.. Knowing the lineups, him, Yoona, those are great visuals but I am very very sorry to the fans out there.. (it's just my personal preference) imo the drama is no good. It is way too far from my expectation of such great lineups that I can't get myself watch it anymore. I stopped like until episode 4? Besides, any one else think that the getup and the hairstyle are quite odd?
