Helloo.. It's February now, so it rain less, but when it does, it poured so hard and flooded some areas in Jakarta.. So I'd like to share some changes in my life that i feel really helpful and positive. That being said is by implementing Minimalism lifestyle in order to be more productive. How can it be related at all you ask? Let me start by sharing some literal definition of Minimalism. Minimalism is getting rid of excess stuff and living life based on experiences rather than worldly possessions  (there are other definition on web of course, but this is enough for everyone to understand). There are many benefits of implementing minimalism, such as less expenses, free up some spaces in your life (literally), and my final objective, to be productive. Before i get to "How minimalism can make me more productive", i'd like to elaborate what kind of minimalism i've done :) First of all i have to tell you, that i don't do it per se by the book guide o...

everything you plan may not happen at once some are failing apart other's still on the way the rest is just a pure mystery sometimes you're tired and puzzled but waiting is not a passive process when you're getting ready yourself it'll be worth it

So the story begins when i visited my friend, Ratna & Oky, in the hospital for their new born baby boy. I visit them in RS Mitra Keluarga Depok with Ice around 1 pm. As usual, we chit chatted a bit, hear the story of the babyborn process, hearing Ratna's experience and feelings, checking out the cute baby, and a little bit gosipping haha.. And then when it's time to go home, i wonder where i should go, it's sunday, and still 2 pm, i haven't had any lunch yet. Firstly I planned to see newest caffe in Perpustakaan Pusat UI, J avaroma Bottega del Caffe . I guess this caffe is replacing Starbucks, but I don't know for sure.. Because it's surely hadn't been existed till I graduated in 2015 😅 But I think it was not my lucky day, because on Sunday the caffe in Perpusat tend to close faster than weekdays hour, 12 to 1 pm max usually.. So I had to find another place to crash.. As usual, I go back to Zomato, and find Kopka Coffee & You , still in Margonda ...

Well, Jaksel people, who doesn't know Lucky Cat, right? It's pretty popular cafe, based in Kuningan, specifically in Plaza Festival (known as PasFes) near Bakri University & Epicentrum Walk. It's also my one of favourite place to visit. It can never go wrong to come here. For you who never visit Lucky Cat, and or plan to visit it soon in the future, I'd like to share some highlights of my visits here :) LUCKY CAT (3.9/5) 1. The Taste (4/5)  I love the pasta and caffe latte here. The pasta especially is good. Other than that will not disappoint you. I've also tried fried calamari, the sauce is very much good. They have a complete menu, from appetiser to main menu, and you will have plenty choices. And i also like the sight of every food I've ever tried. It's so pretty you can not resist to take a picture of it.   2. The Price (4/5) They will not robbed you, but you can not expect a cheap price for a good food above :) You know, price will ne...

Hey, happy 2019 everyone :) Another year passed and i hope everyone can have an exciting and blissful year ahead. Anyway today i'd like to share my experience at Romansa, a caffe located in Menteng. Here are everything You'd definitely like to know before you decide to visit it : ROMANSA (Rate 3.85/5) 1. The Service (4/5) When I arrive, the staff is ready to help to open the door.. It's a little gesture but enough to make me, as the guest, feel special and respected. It's one of the aspects. And the staffs are, notable very friendly. They show me the way to the seat when they saw me a little bit lost, well the place is not big actually, it's just me that is stupid enough can not comprehend the direction. YES EVEN INDOOR :( 2. The Taste (3/5) To summarise, the food and beverage is OK. Not my favourite, just Okey and edible :) I Ordered Nasi Goreng Minang and Ice Latte. As a minang fella, the nasi goreng minang is not what i expected. It's not like N...

I always envy people who can commit to do something for others. Commitment to bring happiness to not only to your only being, but also for other human, a significant other. Like how can that possible? A well being, not to mention happiness is something you have to pursue with your own hard effort. Will you grant it for others? If you ask me, i'll say no absolutely. But unfortunately, society said it's all possible. That i'm the one who is being unreasonable. Even if the fact that i just commit to myself too much, and that there's still no room for another priority than me. I repeat and repeat and repeat, i still can only sit solo. But again, what is the easiest thing that has been done by homo sapiens? Lying to themselves.

I have complained in twitter, @raovinahaq if you want to follow me :), that i'm beyond tired of my demanding schedules at work. May be you can also relate to it. You know, being at office since 8 am to 8 pm, every day, 5 days a week. And please don't think that it all stops at weekend. No it's not. In this enhance technology era with communication tools are just one click away, all work related is still discussed in group chat, in weekend. And so, your life is basically all about work. I don't think it's healthy and when i'm almost at the end of my edge, i found this particular twitter account @pinotski . Pinotski and his wife are an influencer in social media and also a great and phenomenal illustrator, they work with art and it's beautifully done. Just check it out in their account, twitter or instagram. They believe that everyone can draw, even though it's hard to be applied to me because i am a human being with no ability to draw in whatsoever. B...
