Hello! Welcome back! It’s the first blog post
after my blog renewal project and I like the end result. I decided to renew my
blog after taking a break for some time since May. Many things have changed
when I came back. Blogger new layout for editing templates, layout and text editor,
some of my photos disappear, the font size changed, some links are broken, and
I need to use my newsletter service better. Since I have no favorite colors, I
can easily jump from one color theme to another so quickly, haha. I thought I
needed to do some changes here and there, then this renewal project started.
What do you think about this new theme?
Since some things happened this month, I published this monthly highlight pretty late. It’s almost the end of October, and I already started writing the October highlight and doing my new sticker set for November.

In this world, I only love the pine scent or those scents which deliver hygiene vibes, so right now I'm in the journey of collecting of clean scented products available in the world, haha.
What I love : the pine scent, it last longer and has thicker consistency, so it has right amount of scent when dissolved in the water, affordable (might be cheaper than any other brands)

I always love medical drama, somehow, even though
I don’t have any medical related background. One of the medical dramas I
watched this month is Unsung Cinderella - led by Satomi Ishihara. One thing I
noticed is that I always find Narita Ryo in dramas I watched unexpectedly.
Maybe it’s something called fate lol

10. Things I Did
Signed Up for Jenius
I have tried to sign up for Jenius some months
ago, but it failed, then I said to myself that everything which is destined for
me will always find me, so I let it be. I forgot it. In September when I went
to a mall, someone from Jenius offered me help to sign up for free. It didn’t
take long to get my account and the card done, and I got a shopping voucher
too. I really wanted to sign up for this service because I want to buy my
favorite artists’ live streaming tickets and subscribe to some streaming services
such as Spotify and Netflix.
Write 瞳の奥の銀河 lyrics
I randomly wrote the whole lyrics of one of my
favorite Flower’s songs titled 瞳の奥の銀河 which is translated as The Milky Way in
The Deep of Your Eyes. I really love this song, because I love the stars, galaxy
and everything related to the sky - beside it has lovely and warming messages
for those people we love. I want to memorize more kanji, so by writing the song
lyrics I love, I might remember some of them.
Joining Liebster Award
I joined the Liebster Award because a fellow
blogger friend nominated me for this award. You can read the blog post and
answer the questions in your blog or SNS in this post (the whole post is in
Bahasa Indonesia, the questions are in Bahasa Indonesia and English) : Saya Dapat Liebster Award!
Trip planning
I’m going to have a short trip to Bandung in
October. It includes everyone in my workplace since it’s the wedding ceremony
of my boss' son. I planned everything 1 month earlier. I never did this
preparation before. I got the right amount of time to buy other stuff I need
for the trip because we are going to stay there for about 3 days. I thought I’d
bring only a few stuff - by only seeing the list, I thought all the beauty
products including skincare, make-up, body care, would fit in one bag along
with my other stuff but it doesn’t.
Found old notebook
When my sister cleaned our super old stuff from
the school era, she found an old hard-covered blank notebook. I remember that
when I was in High School, I bought a hard covered notebook for taking notes in
Math, Chemistry and Physics classes (then I also used it for writing scripts,
song lyrics, and sometimes random stuff). I remembered that Dad needed a
notebook with the same size too, so I bought one. Later, I found out that he
already had a new notebook so I kept the notebook I bought for the next time
when he needs it again. But I completely forgot it for years lol The book now
looks like a really old one with some vintage effects here and there haha. I
wonder what I’m going to do with it
11. Journal Theme : Oyasumi O-kun!
12. Photo I Like
13. Quotes I Reflect On
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate." (Carl Jung)
"We can go home safely, happily, and peacefully" (Fujii Kaze)
I have been thinking about “home” and “going
home” because mostly my dreams had a person I don’t know who brings the home
vibes. So I asked myself, where that home is right now - I don’t want to be
like this forever, wanting to go somewhere I don’t know. Then Fujii Kaze
released the music video for Kaerou. Before that, I saw many things related to
home and going home but it just brought me more questions, haha.
September is a magical month as I said before.
When I ask a question, the answer will appear through someone else or something
that passes by. Mostly the question dissolves by itself. That’s the magic. God
always listens, so whenever you ask, He will answer through many things around
you. I believe in magic, because God is magic.
I am okay, I will be okay, and I don’t need to
worry. Everything is taken care of.
See you on the next monthly highlight.
