Hello! It feels like the September Highlight was
posted yesterday then I have to write the October Highlight. Yeah, I posted the
September Highlight pretty late and I only made one post during October. Yet
the views count was still around the same number as August - a bit less
perhaps. So, during October there were some things happening. I had a short
trip with the bosses. I bought some new beauty products and some new scarfs. I
had to attend some wedding parties. I had to go here and there for some administration
stuff. I also got high fever in the middle of the month. There were still
emotional ups and downs too. The roller coaster ride was still going on. I
captured some beautiful sky photos and videos too. During the full moon, as
expected, it rained, so I couldn’t see the moon - even though I had seen how
beautiful it was some days before the actual full moon, it was beautiful and
bright contrasting the navy blue night sky.

4. Place I Visited
Bandung
The weather was similar to Malang. They are both hot and sunny but the wind is cool. The water was similar too. The foods were nice. When I was there, it didn’t feel like I was in other city. It felt like I didn’t go anywhere. The place where we stayed was nice too. I watched K-drama a lot. We got delicious catering foods 3 times a day with big size. Haha. The best part of it was the foods were like being preserved, it’s still in their best condition after 2 days (I couldn’t eat too much food, so I split one box with co-worker, and save the rest for the next day - it turned out we still had much foods when we came back to Malang)
5. Quotes I Reflect On
“Money is easy to find. But once it’s wounded, people’s feelings can’t be easily healed even by using all the money in the world”
“Boiling water will soften a potato but harden an
egg. You can’t control whether you’re a potato or an egg, but you can decide to
play a game where it’s better to be hard or soft.” (James Clear)
6. Journal Theme : Osushi!

11. Products I Like
Because I got painful acne on October, a day before my short trip to Bandung, I chose to use my Etude House Soon Jung pH 5.5 Relief Toner and Etude House Soon Jung 5-Panthensoside Cica Balm in my skincare routine. It worked beautifully to calm my skin and reduce the pain. I found my acne got dried in the next day as it had reached its final stage without being too painful. Two products I used really didn't cause drying on my sky, it only makes the acne undo its plan to grow on my face.

13. What Happened
Fever Attack
I got high fever on October 17. It felt like I just
had a marathon for some days, my body ached and even though it’s considered not
too high fever, my normal body temperature is lower than average people, so
it's a high fever for me. I didn’t take any drugs to lower the temperature. I
only drank water a lot, it made me go to the toilet more often than usual, but
the fever went down quickly. The fever had gone yet the pain was still there
for the whole Sunday. On Monday, I had recovered and everything came back to
normal. Then I got some off-days, where I suddenly lost my smelling and
tasting. My life was peaceful lol. Any foods were the same. Even the most
delicious food was plain. I didn’t know what happened but I had prepared for
the worst. I didn’t go anywhere outside. When I had to go to work, it had been
more than 2 weeks since my high fever. Even though my smelling and tasting
ability hasn’t come to the normal state, it gradually comes back.
Blog Renewal Project
Since I started to blog again after a hiatus and
on-off period, I want to renew the interface of my blog so that I can start
fresh. The old interface has the vibe from my hiatus period which makes me lazy
to blog. It didn’t take so long to adjust the new theme with everything in my
blog, because the widgets like disqus comment box, subscription box, and
sidebar images are still there. I needed to set the menu, linking, and fonts
(which has been a mess since blogger renewing its interface).
The feeling during September and August were around home and going home, then the feeling during October was around sleeping peacefully for a long time. That's why I listened to "my long forgotten cloistered sleep" in endless loop, haha. I really wanted to sleep for 1000 years, then waking up on 3020 would be interesting. What kind of technology will I see? What kind of people will live on this world? People would think that my wish is a bit scary, but I prefer sleeping for 1000 years with only nice dreams, haha. Then I understand why I can't live in the fairy tale as sleeping beauty anymore. There's no protagonist who wants to sleep for so long.
So that was my October Highlight, the busiest month
of the year so far. See you on the next monthly highlight. Wish you a wonderful
year-end!
