How would I describe my 2020? Well, it was unpredictable but I lowkey enjoyed it. Imagine I was served by flood on the first day of 2020 in Jakarta (fyi I spent the 2020 new year holiday in Jakarta). Then, in early March there was a coronavirus pandemic until now. Online school for almost a year and I’m not able to go anywhere. It was really boring at home, I miss socializing soooo bad!😞

I would have had hundreds of good memories in 2020 if the Covid-19 hadn’t happened. I would have had a study tour to Bali with my classmates. My sophomore year which is supposed to be the most exciting year in high school, I had to give it up because of this pandemic. And in a few months, I will graduate from high school without any memories in senior year. How pitiful I am.

This was our last picture together before the pandemic😥

Honestly, it would be a waste of time If I kept complaining about how 2020 was bad for me. I started to give them up and face the reality. As I said at the beginning of the first paragraph, I lowkey enjoyed it. I believe God always has His plan. It depends on how we deal with it. Keep complaining or just let life flow. I won’t choose the first option. So, I decided to do whatever makes me happy without breaking the pandemic protocol.

I learned to photoshoot myself at home. So, I was the photographer as well as the model. It was my first time, I didn’t expect that much, but here's the result. Tbh it was really fun! I got addicted haha, I tried it again next week, then next two weeks, and so on😆

This gonna be my last self-photoshoot in 2020. Can't wait to try again in 2021!

I also spent my spare time doing digital painting!

December 8th 2020. Is there any Nctzen here?🙋

My school held an annual competition on Indonesian Independence Day. There were many competitions, such as making digital posters about National Heroes, make-up with Independence Day theme, etc. Me and my friend participated in a virtual photoshoot competition.

Also virtual travelling with Google Maps, because why not?😁




 
I met classmates when we went to school to take photos for our diplomas. It was a short time but we took a lot of pictures together.

Well, I ended up have lot of memories in 2020. I've learned a lot of things this year and I'm so thankful for that. 2020 may not be a great year for some people, I also hope that this pandemic will end ASAP. Then, we can normally socializing like before. And for 2021, I'm not expecting much, I just want good memories and experiences. I'd like to try new things that can help me to learn and grow to be a better version of myself. 

Okay, that's all. Please stay at home until everything is safe, stay hydrated, and have a good day. Happy new year 2021!💜

Btw, how was your 2020? Would you like to share with me?😬


Hi, I’m back! So, it has been a year. I wonder how’s your day? What are you doing during this quarantine? It’s pretty boring, right? I have done lot of activities, such as, cooking, cleaning my house, illustrating, and others, but I was still bored. Then I decided to do photo-shooting myself. I got that inspiration from Pinterest, many people have done that.
I’m not an experienced photographer and not a model too. I just like photography and sometimes I’m being really awkward in front of camera. My camera is not that good, it was my uncle’s back then, and he gave it to me, so I have to use it well. I’m worst at make up too, I just put on lip cream as my eye shadow, blush on, and lip LMAO I have no idea, sorry. I’ve tried my best this time soo hope you like it!😍











 Well, it was a bit tiring but very exciting! I'd love to do self-photoshoot next time. Stay safe, everyone! Have a good day, Ily❤

Hi, guys! Happy holiday! Hope you have a great holiday with your family and friends! Well, I have no plan for this year holiday, but a week ago, I went to Tasikmalaya with my mom, her friends, and their students (fyi: my mom is a lecturer in University of Malang).
We were visiting the garment factory named PT. Tjiwulan Putra Mandiri. Yap, I had been there before, but it was in Probolinggo (I've shared my experiences in my previous blog post, here). The garment factory in Tasikmalaya is larger than in Probolinggo and it has a lot of stuffs I have never seen before. I really like the employees there. They work really fast and accurate!






And of course we met Mrs. Ina and her husband again. They are very very very kind as usual. They presented us a typical food of West Java, 'Nasi Tutug Oncom', it was soooooo delicious! I would like to try it when I back to West Java soon!😉


They are Mrs Ina, her husband, and my mother!




We also visited Pasir Kirisik in Ciawi, Tasikmalaya. This palce is kind of natural attraction and it is soooooo wonderful! The entrance ticket cost IDR15.000,-. You will be served by beautiful views of Tasikmalaya. It has some spots for photo but you must pay first to take pictures. But, don't worry it just some spots, not all spots.



"Oh, really?!"





Beautifuuullll~

Can you see a yellow butterfly stick with yellow flower? It just amazing!


Oops! My mom spotted me when I was taking selfies lol😂

Oh, also we went to Panjalu but we just went sightseeing with a boat and bought some souvenirs.


My mom and Aunty Sari❤




Tasikmalaya has an awesome mosque, it is Agung Mosque. This place is sooo huge and has an unique architecture. You must visit there!



While we were in Tasikmalaya, we stayed in one of my mom friend's house, Aunty Nunung. Her house is surrounded by the hills so we can enjoy the views on the top of her house.

Imagine have a house with this views. How beautiful💜

In Tasikmalaya, I bought a lot of good stuffs for my family in Malang. But for myself, I bought a sling bag in one of the store in Jalan Raya Rajapolah (big sorry I didn't capture the store and I forgot the store name😢)



I a little bit disappointed because we were in Tasikmalaya just three days. I want to spent more time here. I like the views; quiet but beautiful.
Tasikmalaya has my heart, see you next time!💗💗
Bonus my selfies lol😜
