Moving to Taipei

Hello semuanyaaaaa!!

Sekarang Hana lagi di dormitory, asrama. Udaranya adem – adem enak, lagi hujan gerimis. September ini aku officially pindah ke Taipei. Really laaa.. My best birthday gift ever! Tuhan itu emang paling baik sama aku, tahun ini aku dikasih kado scholarship ke Taiwan. Yuhuuuuuu!!!!!!

Nah, di post kali ini Hana mau cerita – cerita tentang perjalananku ke Taipei. If you do have any other questions, atau pengen tahu tentang sesuatu tentang Taiwan, do email me! I am email friendly, kok :)

Perjalanan mendapatkan beasiswa ke Taiwan ini sungguh sangat susah! Ribet la, ngurus ini itu, keluar banyak uang ( walaupun ga sebanyak kalau ga dapat beasiswa) dan banyak halang rintangannya. Tapi Puji Tuhan, Tuhan Yesus selalu menguatkan. Ada aja jawaban dari tiap persoalan. Sungguh ya, kalau Tuhan sudah kirim kita ke suatu tempat, dia pasti juga akan sediakan segala sesuatunya.

All in all, akhirnya aku officially pindah ke Taipei 2 minggu lalu. Berangkat dari rumah jam 3 pagi. Ga pake make up, ga pake ba bi bu, cuci muka sikat gigi langsung berangkat ke Juanda. Gak nyangka di pagi – pagi buta kayak gitu, temen – temenku udah nungguin di airport.

Terharu cak… Kudu nangis.. Gak nyangka..

Makasih yaaa… #peluk satu – satu

Nah gak lupa juga foto keluarga sama orang orang tersayang. Ini papa mamaku yang sudah kerja keras bantuin aku mencapai cita – cita.

Jam lima pagi aku berangkat ke Taiwan. Sebelumnya transit di Malaysia dulu sekitar 7 jam >.<. Wampunnn.. Traveling sendirian, kowah kowoh (linglung) gak jelas. So sorry kalau ndak sempat foto – foto di dalam pesawat. Aku selalu dapat kursi di aisle, jadi ga bisa foto sayap pesawat atau awan – awan cantik #nasib.

Untunglah ya, aku ini orangnya rai gedhek (ga tau malu). Di pesawat, aku ketemu anak Indonesia juga yang mau ke Taipei, namanya kak Aves dan Mega. Okelahhhh, langsung deh aku claim jadi temen. hahaha. Selama tujuh jam nunggu di Malaysia ya sama mereka – mereka ini. We become good friends in a zap.

In case kalian mesti transit di Malaysia untuk waktu yang lama, aku saranin untuk nunggu di movie lounge. Tempatnya emang agak nylempit (mojok), tapi cukup cari toko permen ini. Di belakangnya ada movie lounge yang nyaman.

Di movie lounge ini, kamu bisa nonton film – film dari HBO. Waktu itu aku nonton X Men. Lumayan lah.. Di movie lounge ini kursinya empuk, dan ada flight board, jadi sambil nonton, kita bisa pantau, pesawatnya udah datang apa belum.

Setelah nunggu selama berjam – jam. Akhirnya terbang ke Taiwan!!

Lagi – lagi ga ada foto pesawat yaaa.. Aku dapat kursi di aisle >.<

But i arrived safely in Taiwan! and finally met my boyfriend <3, paling ganteng se Taiwan. hahaha. Dia berdiri di gerbang kedatangan 4 jam >.< Kasian.. Salah satu koperku hilang dan aku mesti ngurus proses lost n found yang lumayan lama, sampai satu setengah jam. Kalau misalnya koper kalian hilang di Taiwan, no need to freak out. Mereka bisa diandalkan kok, koperku yang hilang dikirim ke apartemen keesokan harinya.

Waktu pertama kali datang, rasanya sebel banget karena koperku hilang. Aku juga ngerasa ga enak sama pacar yang udah berdiri berjam – jam buat nunggu.

Dan jrenggg… Waktu keluar dari bandara, dia udah nunggu sambil bawa buket mawar. Aaaaa ga jadi sebel :) He is just super sweet towards me. Seriously, i feel very lucky having him in my life.

All in all, aku bersyukur banget bisa pindah ke Taipei dan dapat kesempatan mengejar impianku. I would not be able to do it without everyone around me. So, i really look forward to what life has to offer for me in Taiwan.

Taiwan, please be nice to me!

Some drugstore skincare products that i used

skin

I use Kose skincare range for my daily routine. Good, really, my skin feels supple and rejuvenated. But, i have to admit that Kose takes a fortune from my thinny thin wallet T__T. In the other hand, drug store skincare product are SOOOO MANY out there and affordable! Many of you asked me through email what drug store skin care products that are recommended. Today i would show you some that works on me!

First, i encounter this blue holy grail toner. Met this way way back when i was in USA and still acne friendly girl. Of course Clean and clear essential toner`s price here in Indonesia is way cheaper and has same function! I got this for around 15.000 rupiahs or less than 2 dollars. I really like this, because it tightens my pores and my face feels so clean.

It works well and very recommended for combination to oily skin. Leave it if you have dry skin because it can feel stingy upon contact your skin. I personally use this after washing my face. Pour some to the cotton ball, and pat it nicely onto the skin, especially T zone area.

Next is Citra Hazeline Sparkling White Glow UV. I bought this accidentally, just because i want to join some Indomaret video contest which require me to buy this Citra face cream. I like it and i finished this a month ago.

It looks like this. Creamy white paste that once sets in your skin, it sets, matte. I apply my bb cream after, and the result? AMAZING! It seems like my skin glows from underneath. This cream, when wore itself, has that pearly effect. The shimmer is so micro, when i see my face really close to the mirror, i can see sparkle. When i step back, i see nothing, just a fresher face. Definitely won`t make your face like a disco ball.

I am still using my Kose skincare, though i alternate with Citra at times. Citra can be a bit drying when used in some period of time. Not hydrating enough.

Next, eye cream! Been using Biokos eyecream for two years. TWOOO YEARSS!! Omoo that is a long time. I am not ussually a faithful user for beauty products, really. Biokos vital nutrition is not impressive either, but i stick to it because it is very convenient. Firstly, my eyebag is not that bad. I use this as prevention only and it works well. It feels moisturizing, smells nice, and affordable. Other eyecream is like 100 ++ rupiahs, but Biokos vital nutrition is a fraction of that. That is why i buy this again and again and again.

I would recommend this for prevention only. If you have a very bad dark circle and fine lines, I am not sure it would work that much. But so far, it keeps my under eye area moist, thus prevent the lines to come out. Plus, it works well as an emergency eyeshadow primer.
