Starbucks :3

I'm really adore food bloggers out there that always have a good and tempting food picture. Such as eatandtreats, ladyironchef, etc. They always go to nice places and order LOTS of food and reviewing them one by one. One of my dream job is actually becomes a food blogger. Imagine that you will be travel all around the world and try LOTS of foods there and WON'T PAY, BUT YOU WILL BE PAID. Wtf, what job that can be nicer than this.

I love writing. I love tempting and nice food picture. I love taking a good picture. But the problem is, I CAN'T TAKE A GOOD PICTURE OR I CAN'T ORGANIZE A PICTURE TO BE GOOD AND TEMPTING. I really need to take a lesson in that. Actually that's not the main reason, HAHA, I'm actually just poor :")

So, here, I will take a review on Starbucks' menu that I tried. I know maybe some of you already know and tried all inside the starbucks. But, here I will just share and tell you what is in my opinion on Starbucks' menu that I tried.

Starbucks Iced Coffee Jelly (right one)

Well, this is the first Starbucks drink that I tried. It is kinda bitter but you can feel the strength of the coffee itself. Well, because I don't really like bitter things,I don't like this one. Because it was my first time to Starbucks, I honestly don't know what to order at that time. So, I ordered what caught my attention at that time and pretended like a Starbucks addict that already went to Starbucks many times (which is really stupid lol wtf).

Iced Caramel Macchiato

Because I was regreting the Iced Coffee Jelly that I tried earlier, I was afraid to order another one again. In my head, it's just like "Starbucks is bad. Starbucks sucks. Starcbucks isn't nice at all". Lol. Then months later, I went to mall and I decided to try another drink. And I'm still stupid. I don't know what to order again. I jut order what catch on my attention. So, I ordered Caramel Macchiato bcause the name is so fancy. Lol. This drink a little bit bitter at first but when the coffee and the milk is well blended, it is sweet but not too sweet. It is good and has a strong taste of the coffee.

Starbucks Iced Cappucino

This drink is actually the same with the coffee that you usually drink. Maybe the taste of the coffee is better but sorry Starbucks, there is just nothing special in this drink. This drink is just a cappuccino taste like the usual coffee.

Starbucks Cotton Candy

Well yeah, this drink is a combination of raspberry syrup and milk. The taste is sweet and..that's it. It is just sweet. Actually the taste is a little bit same with Indonesian's dessert called "Es Kopyor". This is not bad actually, but it is just sweet and that's it. Nothing more special. At first I was expecting it will taste as soft as cotton candy just like the name. But, it's just sweet. But overall I can call this drink is good especially for the sweet lovers.

Iced Coffee Caramel

FINALLY MY FAVOURITE!! THIS IS MY MOST FAVOURITE DRINK EVER AT STARBUCKS. The texture is so sweet and so nice also so soft! The combination of the caramel and the coffee is just like heaven on earth!! I order this drink like million times because I just click and love this drink to the death. But maybe it is a little bit too sweet for those people who don't like sweet things. But for sweet lovers, THIS IS HEAVEN!!

Iced Signature Chocolate & Signature Chocolate (hot)

CHOCOLATE LOVERS, PLEASE PAY ATTENTION. I JUST FOUND A HEAVEN FOR YOU HERE. Nothing much to say, this drink is beyooondd perfect!! For all of the 'real' chocolate lovers, they will die happily because of this. Why I called 'real' chocolate lovers because there are lots of people who like chocolate but don't like dark chocolate. How come you hate dark chocolate, hah?! Dark chocolate is the real taste of chocolate before they combine it with milk, caramel, nuts, or anything on it. This drink really has a rich texture of dark chocolate and just perfect! I love it so so muchhh.

By the way, just a little tip from me, for hot signature chocolate you better choose the original one, not the one with caramel or hazelnut. Because it will be a little bit too sweet if you add caramel into your hot chocolate.

For Iced one, the Iced Signature Chocolate is enough to be a heaven for you, but for me, it's better to add caramel! Choose the Iced Caramel Signature Chocolate and it will give you DOUBLE HEAVEN ON EARTH!!

Starbucks Cheesecake

Well, from the left is Iced Toffee Nut, Signature Chocolate, Iced Caramel Frappucino. The main focus this time is the tiny heaven in the middle. Yaass, the heavenly cheesecake! This cheesecake is so cheesy and soft and yummy! This is the best cheesecake i've ever had (well, beside of the cheesecake that I had from Dapur Cokelat). The textire is soft and chewy and it will melt on your mouth!!

Iced Toffee Nut Latte

Speaking of toffee nut, this drink only come out when the christmas time. This drink has a rich texture of a nut that blended with coffee. You can feel the nut in the coffee! This is my fourth best drink on starbucks. Sadly, it's just for christmas time!

Iced Green Tea Cream

Helloouuww another heaven! This is my third most favourite drink in Starbucks! The texture of the green tea and melt with the milk! This is just best and perfect! It has strong flavour of green tea which is popular from the KitKat Greentea (snacks from Japan) and strong sweet flavours!! One word, perfect.

White Chocolate Red Velvet Cake

From the left, iced signature chocolate, iced toffee nut latte, iced caramel frappucino. Cheesecake, white chocolate red velvet cake. I don't really like their red velvet actually, i think it has much layer that make it bad. I don't really get the sweet from the cake. But some people got it and they said that this is nice and the best red velvet they've ever had. Well, different people, different taste. Well, sorry, for me, I don't really like it. But the white chocolate topping is perfect! Lol :p

Strawberry Cheesecake Frappucino & Chocolate cheesecake

Hellow! This is consider as 'new' recipe from starbucks! I think it is already released on other countries for a really long time, but at Indonesia, it is just released! It is nice but actually because i don't really like strawberry, it tastes just plain for me. But for strawberry lovers, this is like 100% strawberry milk taste. The crunchy topping that will be melt and taste like cake flakes is so damn good!!

For the chocolate cheesecake, it is just like another heaven on earth! The cheesy taste of the cheesecake melt with the chocolateyy taste on chocolate is such a perfect combination!! But I like the original cheesecake better! But this is also beyond perfect! The texture is so chewy, soft and sweet! LOVE :")

Almond Croissant

The drink is Iced Caramel Ribbon Crunch. The taste is just same as the caramel frappucino, but this is sweeter and has a crunchy topping that lead us die to heaven! For dessert, I ordered Almond Croissant, Jesus, another heaven on earth!! The crunchy from the almond and in the inside is the sweet liquid (idk what is it probably melted sugar but not a caramel) and the chewy texture from the croissant itself.  It is just good!!

Chocolate Chip Cookie

 Another Iced Caramel Frappucino (I told you I order it million times lol). Beside of it is the chocolate chip cookie! The price is just ok if we see the size of the cookie! But sadly, it's not as sweet as the usual chocolate chip cookie. But it is still good! It is crunchy and nice :)

English Breakfast Tea

Okay, I should know when I order it, it will taste just like another usual tea lol :p

But actually maybe it's kinda has richer flavour and texture of the tea. When you received it from the barista, it will be a plain tea, so you need to add the sugar as you pleasure. Well, even it is just like another tea, it is good!

Well, that's all I already tried! Well, there is another drink like Vanilla and the other drink that I forgot what the name is. But, that's it! I hope the information will help you to find the right drink (pstt because it's a little pricey) but I tell you that Starbucks is my most favourite cafe. Thankyou Starbucks for creating good and tasty drinks and desserts! I love you!

The most awesome author of the year, IKA NATASSA!

Beberapa bulan yang lalu, saya pergi di suatu toko buku dengan teman-teman saya. Salah satu teman saya menunjuk sebuah novel berjudul "Antologi Rasa"

He said, "Buy this jess! I promise you won't regret it!" But, from the title, I thought that was a "heavy" book, ditambah lagi, teman saya itu pecinta buku-buku yang bahasanya berat dan penuh meaning.

I told him no. I don't think his favourite will be as same as mine. Dan akhirnya tanpa sengaja, beberapa bulan kemudian, saya duduk di ruang tamu salah seorang teman saya and I saw that book. Karena ga ada kerjaan, saya iseng membaca sinopsis cerita tersebut.

Ternyata, sinopsis nya lumayan menarik minat. I asked my friend who own that book, "Is it good?" And he said, "Of course!" dan saya jadi semakin tertarik and I said to him, "ah, jadi penasaran." Suprisingly, he said, "Then just read it, you can take it home."

Daaannn akhirnya saya membaca buku yang telah menjadi rekomendasi teman saya yang dengan sedikit memaksa menyuruh saya membaca buku tsb.

Tidak butuh waktu lama saya untuk membaca. I was fckn' amazed with this book! Ika Natassa menulis bukunya dengan kalimat yang nyaman, mudah dicerna, dan the most favourite thing ever is her joke. 

Cara Ika Natassa dalam menyampaikan joke nya benar-benar mengena, simple, and sarcasm. Oh, how I love sarcasm! ❤

Ini nih sinopsis buku yang bikin aku tergila-gila

Antologi Rasa-Ika Natassa

K e a r a

Were both just people who worry about the breaths we take, not how we breathe.
How can we be so different and feel so much alike, Rul?
Dan malam ini, tiga tahun setelah malam yang membuatku jatuh cinta, my dear, dan aku di sini terbaring menatap bintang-bintang di langit pekat Singapura ini, aku masih cinta, Rul. Dan kamu mungkin tidak akan pernah tahu.
Three years of my wasted life loving you.

R u l y

Yang tidak gue ceritakan ke Keara adalah bahwa sampai sekarang gue merasa mungkin satu-satunya momen yang bisa mengalahkan senangnya dan leganya gue subuh itu adalah kalau suatu hari nanti gue masuk ke ruangan rumah sakit seperti ini dan Denise sedang menggendong bayi kami yang baru dia lahirkan. Yang tidak gue ceritakan ke Keara adalah rasa hangat yang terasa di dada gue waktu suster membangunkan gue subuh itu dan berkata, "Pak, istrinya sudah sadar," dan bahwa gue bahkan tidak sedikit pun berniat mengoreksi pernyataan itu. Mimpi aja terus, Rul.

H a r r i s

Senang definisi gue: elo tertawa lepas. Senang definisi elo? Mungkin gue nggak akan pernah tahu. Karena setiap gue mencoba melakukan hal-hal manis yang gue lakukan dengan perempuan-perempuan lain yang sepanjang sejarah tidak pernah gagal membuat mereka klepek-klepek, ucapan yang harus gue dengar hanya, "Harris darling, udah deh, nggak usah sok manis. Go back being the chauvinistic jerk that I love."
Thats probably as close as I can get to hearing that she loves me.

Tiga sahabat. Satu pertanyaan. What if in the person that you love, you find a best friend instead of a lover?

It was so damn good and after reading it, I saw there was an online store that sold Ika Natassa complete books in a box! It's lot cheaper than buying it individually! Tanpa banyak mikir, langsung aja aku beli 1 box. Dan sekarang, saya udah baca another series, A Verry Yuppy Wedding. Gurl, I won't ever regret buying it!

Mau tau sinopsis-sinopsis untuk seri lainnya? Langsung aja Googling!

Ada 4 series in 1 box of heaven ini:

- A Verry Yuppy Wedding

- Antologi Rasa

- Divortiare

- Twivortiare

Check it out guys! I promise, you WON'T regret it!

Here are the books :

"If we can't break the rule, we can cheated the rule" 

- Ika Natassa, A Verry Yuppy Wedding.

“How can we be so different and feel so much alike?” 
― Ika Natassa, Antologi Rasa

“Commitment is a funny thing, you know? It's almost like getting a tatoo. You think and you think and you think and you think before you get one. And once you get one, it's stick to you hard and deep.” 

- Ika Natassa, Divortiare

“The simplest things in life are what makes us happy eventually. A warm and comfy home, being loved, and knowing that somebody can’t live without you"

- Ika Natassa, Twivortiare

Choi Siwon 최시원

안녕하세요!!

Salah satu idola yang benar-benar saya banggakan adalahhh~~ Choi Siwon♥♥♥ 

OK, jadi Siwon ini lahir di Seoul, Korea Selatan pada tanggal 7 April 1986, tapiii di aktenya ditulis 10 Februari 1987. Kurang jelas juga sih kenapa bisa gini -___________-"

Dia itu member dari grup band korea yang sangat sangat terkenal yaituu~~~ SUPER JUNIOR! Wohooo~~

Pertama kali aku tau Choi Siwon itu di TV dan aku gak tahu menahu soal korea apalagi super junior. Waktu itu aku pikir Siwon ini adalah CEO suatu perusahaan besar yang sangking suksesnya sampai diwawancarai oleh TV hahaaha XD

Dan aku kaget banget waktu tau ternyata dia super junior O____O

Anyway, apa sih yang buat aku sangat terkesima sama Choi Siwon?

Jadi, Siwon ini adalah anak dari CEO of Boryung Medicine. Bayangin, bokapnya pasti kaya gak karuan tuh O___O

Tapi dia sangat humble dan agak gila sih mungkin. Dia ngelamar kerja di pom bensin cuma buat supaya dapat uang dari kerja keras sendiri~~ Ouuwowowowo Oppa..........................

Itu 1 hal yang ngebuat aku sangat respect sama dia!

Hal kedua adalah He isn't dare to be different! As we know, di Korea, agama bukanlah suatu hal yang sangat penting. Tapi Siwon ini begitu mencintai Kristus. Ia selalu menyebarkan kebaikan, selalu menyebarkan firman Tuhan ke member yang lain yang bahkan gak ditanggepin sama member lain~

Ia juga selalu baca alkitab di waktu senggangnya!! (Gue sih lebih milih baca novel, Gue, si anak berlumur dosa)

DIa juga selalu baikk banget sama fans-fansnya. Dia suka banget nge-mention fanbase-fanbase nya di twitter dengan kata-kata "LOVE!" dan itu gak sedikit yang ia mention. Ia juga memfollow banyak akun-akun fanbase. Ia benar-benar orang yang humble... Huhuhuhuhu ;______________;

Yahh~ Disini saya cuma menjelaskan seperti apa seorang Choi Siwon di mata saya~ 

Bagi saya dia itu~ PERFECT

Tapi saya menyadari juga bahwa Nobody's Perfect~

Hwaiting 최시원!! 사랑합니다 ♥♥

"You do not need to be an elf from the beginning, but you need to be an elf until the end - Choi Siwon”

49 Days / 49일 (2011)

49 Days (Hangul: 49 일; RR: 49 il) adalah Drama Televisi Korea Selatan yang dibintangi Lee Yo-won, Jo Hyun-jae, Jung Il-woo, Bae Soo-bin, Nam Gyu-ri dan Seo Ji -hye. Ini ditayangkan di SBS dari 16 Maret - 19 Mei 2011 di hari Rabu dan Kamis jam 21:55 selama 20 episode. 

Sinopsis:
Shin Ji-hyun (Nam Gyu Ri) memiliki kehidupan yang tampak sangat sempurna. Dia anak orang kaya, ia mempunyai banyak teman dan keluarga yang mengaguminya, dan lebih lagi ia sudah mempunyai tunangan yang akan ia nikahi beberapa hari ke depan. Sementara itu Yi-Kyung (Lee Yo-Won) adalah wanita yang benar-benar putus asa atas kematian pacarnya. Hal itu membuatnya hidup nya datar dan ia sering berencana untuk bunuh diri. 

Suatu hari, Yi-Kyung hendak bunuh diri dengan cara menyebrang jalan raya yang ramai dan hal itu mengakibatkan tabrakan beruntun yang di antaranya adalah Ji-Hyun. Ji-hyun mengalami tabrakan hebat, dan tiba-tiba ia terbangun di jalan raya melihat tubuhnya bersimbah darah dan tidak ada orang yang bisa melihat dia. Satu-satunya orang yang tampaknya bisa melihat dia hanya sesosok laki-laki bersepeda motor. Ia berdiri di samping sepeda motornya. Pria di sepeda motor adalah Scheduler (Jung Il Woo) - sejenis malaikat maut yang menunggu untuk menjemput jiwa seseorang ke kehidupan berikutnya. 

Ji-Hyun mengikuti tubuhnya ke ambulans dan memperhatikan paramedis berupaya untuk menghidupkannya kembali. Di rumah sakit, Ji-Hyun bertemu Scheduler lagi. Scheduler berkata bahwa karena ia belum dijadwalkan untuk mati, maka ia diberi kesempatan untuk pulih dari koma dan hidup kembali. Ia harus memenuhi sebuah misi: ia harus mengumpulkan tiga tetes air mata murni dari tiga orang yang benar-benar mencintainya selain dari keluarganya dalam 49 hari ke depan. Ji-Hyun langsung berpikir tentang tunangannya dan dua teman terbaik dan yang pasti ia akan hidup kembali. Ji-Hyun kemudian mengambil alih tubuh Yi-Kyung dalam pencariannya untuk menemukan tiga orang tersebut. Ji-Hyun mendapat pekerjaan di sebuah restoran yang dimiliki oleh teman SMA-nya, Han Kang (Jo Hyun Jae). Dalam pencarian 3 air mata selama 49 hari itu, Ji-Hyun menyadari bahwa orang yang selama ini ia kira menyayanginya, orang yang berarti segalanya bagi dia, ternyata mengkhianati ia. Ji-Hyun tersadar jika ia kesulitan mencari 3 air mata itu.

Banyak hal yang akan terjadi disini. Kenyataan masa lalu si scheduler, kenyataan tentang tunangan dan teman baik Ji-Hyun, kenyataan tentang Yi-Kyung, dan banyak lagi. Saya sangat sangat terpesona dengan film ini. Saya selalu terpana ketika menontonnya. Film ini mencampurkan rasa kekeluargaan, percintaan , dan persahabatan. FIlm ini mengajarkan kita bahwa tidak semua orang yang kita anggap baik akan memperlakukan kita dengan baik. 

"Crying. Do you think crying with tears is really crying?" - 49 Days.

Singapore Trip =)

Tahun 2011, saya mengunjungi negara yang sangat dekat dengan negara kita ini, SINGAPORE ^^
You know what's my first impression? A-M-A-Z-I-N-G. Changi Airport is the most awesome airport for me, it was so clean and cool!

Cool, isn't it? ^^
Yahh, setelah melihat pemandangan-pemandangan ajaib, ternyata life isn't that perfect! Saya harus nunggu setengah jam di Terminal Arrival Immigration karena.....passport saya membayang. They thought it was fake, annnndd I was not allowed to enter the gate :)

Anyway, mungkin karena muka saya cute dan polos (ignore it), saya diperbolehkan masuk~~
Saya naik taxi menuju ke Value Hotel di Balestier road~~~ Yuhuuu

Saya melewati Orchard Road yang saya pandangi dengan terkagum-kagum ^^
Setelah itu saya beristirahat di hotel dan malamnya saya langsung jalan-jalan. Saya mengunjungi suntec city mall, Marina Bay, dan makan malam di Lucky Plaza =)
Esoknya, saya pergi ke Sentosa Island~~~ Wohoooo. Sentosa Island 정말로 예쁜 ❤❤

Soooo Beautifullll ^_____________________^

Esoknya, saya check out dari hotel dan pindah ke apartment dekat Lucky Plaza (sorry, I forgot the name of it)
Ini beberapa view dari apartment saya:

Beautifulllllll~~~

CHRISTMAS EVE AT ORCHARD!

Wooooow!! Christmas Eve at Orchard?? More than words!!

Finally, beberapa hari kemudian, saya harus pulang ke Indonesia, back to reality, but I had a great time!

Sebelum pulang, saya foto-foto kece dulu di orchard road
