Marriage Life

It's been 3 months after my marriage. Life is so much different. My priorities are changed. On the other hand, I learn many things day by day. That marriage is not only about sharing happiness together, but also sharing any upsets and sadness. That marriage is not about taking one's life to the another one's, but making a new one. That marriage is learning that someone's smile is also your happiness. Knowing that you won't be alone when you sleep and wake up in the morning. Knowing that someone will smile when you are sleeping and hug you tight. 

Enjoy Life

Enjoying my role as wife, daughter, and entrepreneur at the same time.

Life Lesson #31102016

Nikmatnya menjadi entrepreneur adalah langsung terjun sendiri ke lapangan. Mengetahui setiap hal dihadapi, apa yang harus dikerjakan, belajar dari kesalahan agar tidak terulang lagi, belajar dari pengalaman. Dan yang terpenting, semua itu dilakukan dengan mencurahkan seluruh hati dan pikiran. 

New Favourite of Online Furniture (and stuffs) Shopping - DEKORUMA.COM

This is my first post about reviewing something in my blog. Why? Because personally and honestly I feel satisfied with the service. I actually bought this in early June, while I was thinking about buying one specific IKEA product and I had to bring that to Surabaya (I was in Jakarta, because I had to move to Surabaya for a while). I was looking for this MULIG Clothes Rack (I looove this products). And then I was searching for IKEA Online Service which is not available and I decided to Google it. There are many other parties (online shop) that sold the products, but then I thought that the delivery charge will cost much from Jakarta to Surabaya (most of online shops are in Jakarta) since the good is weighted more than 1 kg so I had to compare which one sold with the lowest total price. Then there was a site called DEKORUMA that blew my mind. The price of the good is same as IKEA charged aaanndddddd.............. NO DELIVERY CHARGED!!!!!! What a heaven. Without any further thought, I decided to bought MULIG Clothes Rack from DEKORUMA.

WORK HARD

I am a woman who obsessed with the word of "Working Hard". I prefer to be called a work-harder than a work-smarter. But then I had a conversation with my friend and she said "I agree with you. But to me, when someone works hard, she/he also works smart at the same time. Work hard and work smart are one package."

Form that day, I agree with her. To me, work hard and work smart are absolutely one package. If people only work their a*s off without thinking smart, they are no different with slave.

WHAT FAMILY MEANS TO ME

Halo, blogger world. It's been a while. Sebenarnya saya sedang ada beberapa pemikiran yang ingin di tuliskan, hanya saja belum ada waktu. Saya lebih sibuk pada saat weekend daripada hari biasa. Sekarang baru sempat untuk menuliskan.

Buat saya, arti keluarga itu sangat amat penting. Memang saya tidak secara gamblang diajarkan oleh keluarga saya bahwa "Family over everything". Sejujurnya, saya belajar mengenai hal itu sendiri dari setiap kejadian yang saya alami dan dari semua artikel, pengalaman orang lain, dan buku yang saya baca. Bukan berarti keluarga saya tidak begitu, saya hanya lebih banyak belajar dari dunia luar.

Pemikiran Malam Ini

Saat berada di titik terendah, bukan cacian dan hinaan yang ingin didengar. Jika memang tidak dapat berkata baik, diam itu emas. Tidak semua orang merupakan pribadi yang dapat meluapkan emosi dalam bentuk perkataan atau tindakan, ada segelintir orang yang lebih memilih untuk tidak memberitahukan apa yang dirasakan dan apa yang dipikirkan kepada dunia. Banyak alasannya, bisa jadi dia hanya ingin  memendam atau dia berfikir "Ya sudahlah, tidak apa kok."

The Importance of Doing Our Job with Heart

So, I have been following this tv series, since the first time I watched the first episode, and I fell in love directly. They said that this drama series is cat and mouse kinda love story. You can google for complete synopsis since this is long story to tell and my point is not about their love story (even though I love how Ben loves and treats Alice).

I have watched all the episodes in season 1 and cannot wait for the season 2 to come. While, in the 2 last episodes the story became so tense. There are so many betrayals (someone work for someone who betrayed that someone and work for another person that betrayed that someone who betrayed at the first time for different person. If you watch the film you will get it). This is not about the love story I want to talk to, but I take some lessons from that. When we work, we do our job, we have to do every thing with our heart. In this series was shown how easy someone betrays another just for something that another can offer. But, when we do our job with our heart, the possibility to betray someone is smaller, even if we are offered by million things better, but nothing can beat our happiness and relief of doing something with heart. That thing can be called as "Loyalty".

WEEKEND JOURNAL

16 May 2016 Journal

Ini sudah hari ke 16 artinya saya sudah tidak lagi mengabdi pada satu perusahaan yang telah memberikan saya pengalaman dan pelajaran selama lebih dari 2 tahun. Ya, saya telah memutuskan untuk resign dari pekerjaan saya sebagai seorang banker (Relationship Manager lebih tepatnya, atau mungkin orang jaman dulu sebut Account Officer). Intinya pekerjaan saya adalah berkaitan dengan Sales dan pencapaian target. Keputusan untuk keluar ini sudah saya pikirkan lebih dari 1 tahun, tapi memang butuh mental yang matang dan restu dari orang-orang sekitar. Yang paling penting adalah dari orang tua saya dan calon suami saya. Calon suami saya sudah mantap untuk mendukung langkah saya keluar, hal ini berkaitan dengan prinsip. Dia memang orang yang memegang prinsip bahwa lakukan apa yang membuat kamu senang. Bukan saya benci untuk bekerja menjadi seorang Banker, tapi saya merasa itu bukan panggilan saya, saat ini. Banyak sekali yang saya ingin coba. Menjadi seorang Banker sangat amat menyita waktu saya. Berangkat pagi pulang malam, memang saya masih single dan belum berkeluarga, tapi saya sangat visioner dan memikirkan dampaknya dalam jangka panjang. Saya akan sharing  nanti mengenai pemikiran saya ini.

Positive People, Positive Life

I have been making a huge decision in my life just to follow my dream. I don't know if it will work, but at least I can be happy ( I wish).

Anyways, 1 month from now I will be a "office work-less". I will spend more time at home, and I think I will try to commit to write more. I really like to share, and to read someone experience of something.

CLASTUDIO

When I was in college, I was taking Economics as my major. I never thought that all lifestyle-related stuff will take my attention that much after. I never thought that fashion, especially, would be the thing that makes me happy just to think of it. Then, I have a dream to work my dream, I mean literally to walk the dream, do what I want and what makes me happy. Of course, obstacles come and go. I am not really good at making new relationship with people, in other words I have difficulties in dealing with people (but I have to since my job now is all about dealing lol). I mean, building a brand is not an easy job. If we want people know our brand, it is better that we know more people. I still believe that word of mouth is the best marketing strategy ever. Just the way is changed, like social media is the platform. Through social media, they talked. And that is one kind of word of mouth.

Anyways, finally I have chance to try. I open my own brand, CLASTUDIO. There are many ideas for this brand, but for the first and opening collection, I choose the basic first. I create basic outfits women at least must have. I love basic, I admire simplicity,  and I love wearing an outfit that I feel comfortable with, so CLASTUDIO is the reflection of it. I am the kind of person who really concerns about quality, so I, myself, do the quality control and check every single detail of my collection. Every piece.

I know that it won't be easy to build a brand (since I am nobody ;p) but at least I do what I want to do. I will do my best for this, and pray that this will work. I don't want to have plan B for this (I don't know if I will need that later). There are many sacrifices sometimes (maybe, I don't think so) to go back one step to make a big leap. I think I am now taking that one step back.

Well, you can help me by visiting my website here and put your comment below about it!

p.s: here are some of my first collection. Let me know what you think!

 

School of Grazia x ESMOD Jakarta

I was joining an event called School of Grazia  x ESMOD Jakarta, a seminar talking about PR, Retail Business, and the importance of Media in Fashion world. This is related to my plan about expanding my business line (please head to www.cla-studio.com to support local brand :) ). I think I need more knowledge in fashion since my background is economics.

So, there are some points I got from the seminar (I will only write what I think is important):
