Inspired by
a song for my title, I somehow need to list down few little un-living things that make me
cheerful. Well, please bear in mind stuffs listed below are just additional
ingredients to my oh-awe-some life. In addition, some captivating stuffs below,
I even haven’t own or even touch it (yet) but oh well I always adore the magic
of pictures these days especially in Instagram. So let’s list my lovelings.
1. Candles
Since the very beginning of
2012, my study time (9PM-1AM) has always been accompanied by scented candles. I
used to have aromatherapy heated by usual candle but please the beauty of
sparkling flame has always cheered me up when I do my accounting calculation. The
best one I can get in Indonesia is only Yankee’s candles which also have fewer
varieties in compare to Saltskin & co from States. Currently, I am in deep relationship with the
scent from Yankee’s Beach Flowers. It is just feminine in scent.
2. Flowers
I have a deep conviction that
all ladies should love flowers, period. The dining table at home has been
decorated with flowers since last month. Inspiring books about flowers
arrangement, websites and blogs; they are indirectly forcing me to turn my
bedroom into a garden. Interestingly, when I google the top most favorite
flower type these days guess what it peonies! One word for peonies, you are
fluffily beautiful.
3. Scrapbook
The scrap and the book, I found
myself into them since last four years ago but back then in Indonesia the most
complete scrapbook store was in Bandung unlike now. Yes, it is painful for my
tiny fingers to cut gazillion of papers but I am inseparable with the colored
papers. I have vowed to myself last week that my future home should and must
have scrapbook studio. Good kitchen is second priority after scrapbook studio.
Duh! If only I can bring the whole stocks of papers, cut outs, rub-on, stickers,
ribbons and paper cutters back home all at once.
4. Books
Due to the hectic senior years,
I have deferred my gratification to pause my reading habits. It is just extreme
once I am into one book, I can spend the whole night up to 3 AM just to finish
it without noticing I have class tomorrow. This never sounds safe and sound for
a school hours. For Easter break, Fitria Yusuf’s book regarding H Temptation is
enough to entertain my on-my-break soul. Imagine I need to leave Kinokuniya
without Hunger Games book series. Sorry, but my soul cried for good. Fall in
love with Fifi Lapin’s newest book but still deferred my gratification for
now.
5. Classic design
These days coffee house and
restaurants have been going through the era of minimalist design. Those bird
cages hanging around the pancake house in Bandung, white framed papers making
collages on the wall, and even just a simple tea cup set or cake stands. I am
still crossing my fingers to get the sundae cup set in Aksara. Honestly, I have
no idea what will I do with it once I bring those babies home it’s just I want
them to be my property (pardon me).
farewell to Easter break ,
