22 November 2015,

Still cannot believe. That I can be here. Still the same November, 22.

This 8 years, I don't know how to say.

I'm not proud of this long-time I've through. Maybe way too long. That's what other said.

But, this 8 years, is a meaningful years in my life.

I couldn't forget how its start. How its turned upside and downside.

For every tears, every trust, every smile, every anger, every jealous, every detail  of this 8 years.

And the last, when I felt lost myself.

I couldn't forget.

I didn't know how I can be here.

I didn't know what makes me here to stay.

Was it His test?

 

Everything has written, even a leaf which fall from its tree.

And also why I can stay this long.

I'm so thankful.

For this 8 years. For the next following years. For you.

XOXOXO,

The Mockingjay

21 November 2015

First time watched Hunger Games, quite scared with the set. I couldn't imagine if it was a real world. But yes, it's almost similar with nowadays situation. People kill each other for their needs. Maybe for food or maybe for the throne. Who has strength can keep alive, while the weak will be dead.

Awkay, back to the movie which is the last part from Hunger Games trilogy. Continuing the story before, that Katniss Everdeen as the Mockingjay who mobilize revolution from all districts against the Capitol. More than against the Capitol to be free, she has another intention, to kill President Snow (leader of Panem). People from all districts start the revolution, they try to reach the Capitol, so does Katniss. She accompany with some of her ally and friends. 

This last part was the second part of Mockingjay (third part of Hunger Games trilogy), maybe this is why the movie not as suspenseful as the movie before. This part is an anti-climax, like a cooling down from other part before.

Not too much drama, or actions. But from this part, we can learn that we cannot trust anyone. Friends an be an enemy, and maybe enemy can show you who is your true friends. 

Spoiler, if you haven't read the book. You can dropped a jaw seeing how the ending of this movie.

Anyway, this movie still worth to watch.

Happy watching!

XOXOXO,

Days without coffee?

Assalamualaikum,

Hello!

Psst.. I'm in a mission!

Can you guess what is my mission?

Taa Daaa.. Lower my appetite to coffee. Decrease my frequent of drinking coffee. I like drink coffee since I was kid. I like coffee as a fun drink. But now, since I work I addicted to coffee. I couldn't spent any day without coffee. 

 Until one day I got problem with my stomach, all of my friends blame the coffee I drank. Some days after I got sick I didn't drink coffee. Actually my sick not caused by this coffee, I just not careful with my eat schedule. 

But one thing I realized that my heart beat faster after drinking coffee. I think its not good anymore. I need to change habit, back to before. Made coffee as a fun drink not a daily routines.

Can I?

Wish me luck!

XOXO,

I watched Spectre

Awalnya nggak terlalu interest untuk buru-buru nonton pas masih baru banget keluar. Tapi, tapi, tapi jiwa ini teracuni. Dan jeng jeeeeeng, jadilah girls-day-out-tak-terencana Sabtu kemarin tanggal 7. Mumpung sampe ke Bandung masih siang, jadinya teracuni pikiran dari cewek-cewek yang tetiba pengen nonton. Jadilah Sabtu sore habis di bioskop. (Psst.. We tried new blitzmegaplex in BEC Bandung, and its quite good to try. Comfort dan nggak se-crowded blitz PVJ).

All I knew from James Bond's movie is an action movie, full of technology, action scene, conspiration, and Bond's Girl. And I think this movie quite same with those criteria. (grin)
When the movie started, an unusual opening happened. A full of theme song 'Writing's on the wall' played with Craig Daniel and some effect as video clip. And there's also Sam Smith, the singer of the theme song.

The movie begin with Bond and his secret unfinished mission. Why it called secret? He didn't involved his team. Only he who knew what his mission. An unfinished mission, a legacy from his ex boss (If I'm not wrong she called as M).

When its time for a spy movie full of conspiration, you can see many places. (still could not understand how they can jump from one country to others).
First start in Mexico. He failed a bombing plan of a stadium which held a festival that attended by many people. On his action, he found a ring of a brotherhood with Octopus sign.
He back home, then he found another legacy from M, a video that told him to attend Marco Sciarra funeral ceremony at Rome. Bond come to Rome, attend the funeral ceremony and meet with Sciarra's widow, Lucia. From Lucia, Bond knowing about Spectre, an international criminal organization, which his husband belong to. Bond enters a Spectre meeting by showing the ring with Octopus sign. At the meeting he found out the leader of Spectre is Franz Oberhauser, a man that believed already dead. Bond's discovered attend the meeting illegally. He escaped from Mr. Hinx chased (Spectre's assassin).
Moneypenny found out about the Pale King, she informs Bond and lead him to Mr. White, the former member of Quantum, which still related to Spectre. He meets Mr. White. Mr. White admits that He was member of Quantum, he asks Bond to find her daughter Madeleine Swann. He told Bond that Madeleine will lead him to L'Americain which will lead him to Spectre. He also ask him to protect her daughter.

Bond meet Madeleine Swann, he told the story of his father asked him to meet her to found L'Americain. But Madeleine refused to help. She expelled Bond. While Bond thinking how to convince her, Madeleine is already abducted by Mr. Hinx. But then Bond success to save her, and she agree to help him found L'Americain.

Bond though L'Americain was a person, he wrongs. L'Americain is a small hotel in Morocco. There is a room in this hotel that Mr. White and his wife spend every wedding anniversary.. They found a secret room built by Mr. White, his working room. Bond found a coordinate of a crater, a location of Spectre.

They travel to the nearest point to this Spectre location by train. They arrived and welcomed by Franz Oberhauser. At this moment, revealed that Franz Oberhauser is a son of Bond's guardian father. Young Bond's be an orphan and taken care by Oberhauser. Franz turn envy with his 'new little brother', he killed his own father and making a fake scenario that he also killed at a landslide tragedy. He keeps his hatred to Bond, and try to make Bond's suffer in every moment. He tortured Bond, but fortunately Bond and Madeleine can escape from this area. Bond alse blow up Spectre area.

Bond and Madeleine back to London. Bond try to help M (his new boss) regarding shutdown issue of '00 programe' by the new ministry and try to stop launching of Nine Eye program which related to Spectre. Madeleine says goodbye, she can't handle to have a life with a secret agent.
M with helped by Q (the technologist of '00 program') succeed stop the launch of new program. While Bond try to save Madeleine, she abducted by Franz. She was kept in an empty building which will be blown up in several minutes. But again, Bond success escape with Madeleine before the building blown up. He chase Franz, and success arrest him. At the end, the story tell that Bond retired. End of the story like in a fairy tale, 'and they lived happily ever after'.

I think this Bond movie is a bit full of drama than the action itself. And as long as I remember, this is the first film keep Bond's girl alive!
Whole of story is fun and entertaining. Not that dull for a movie for 2,5 hours long.
Happy watching! But worth to be watched!

XOXOXO,

Hello Blog!

Assalamualaikum!

Hello blog!

Rasanya udah berjuta-juta tahun lamanya nggak nyentuh ini blog. 

 Sadly karena sok-sok an sibuk, nyampe rumah pasti bawaannya pengen istirahat ajah. Then, di tempat 'baru' nggak ada Ayala (si laptop yang paling nyaman buat dipake nulis. Dear Ayala, you're irreplacable!), and no internet connection.

One day ketemu temen kuliah, He asked me whether I still blogging? And its kind a little kick in head. Terlalu lama aku nyuekin ini blog. So sorry..

Then here I am.. Doakan semoga bisa istiqomah untuk terus berbagi tulisan yang bermanfaat lewat blog ini yaa.. #tsaaaah..

My first step.

I changed the template to be simpler. (mungkin galuh sudah mulai dewasa). But I think its clean and clear enough to read, right? 

And still, keep it with my favorite color. MINT !

Font nya, aku masih terlalu jatuh cinta sama font yang mirip-mirip sama handwriting. I don't know, just felt humble and natural with handwriting type.

Blog title nya juga udah diganti, jadi adorablegee (disamain sama address blog). Hey you! Thanks anyway for 'adorable' inspiration. Tapi teteuuup belom rela ngilangin si Manhattan's Mannequin nya. Tentang title Manhattan's Mannequin. Kenapa mesti nama itu? Aku doyan banget sama series nya Gossip Girls yang emang ngambil setting Manhattan city. Dan karena keracunan banget sama serial TV itu, salah satunya gara-gara fashion trend di film itu yang emagod cucok bingits. Its just like turn any teenager into a mannequin with every fashion style in every scene. Dan itulah kenapa jadinya Manhattan's Mannequin. Manhattan's city with stylish walking mannequin.

Mmmm.. Apalagi yah?

Nothing. I guess. 

I just missed writing so much! 

Menulis dan jadi galuh yang sebenarnya.

And now I'm thinking of what to write next.
wish me luck!






Thank you,

Love,

Galuh 

 

Homemade Kue Cubit Greentea

January 17, 2015

Assalamualaikum! This is my first post on 2015. Hellow everyone!

May this year come to be a year with more blessed, more happiness, and more good things happened.

Beberapa saat kemarin di Bandung (my lovely city yang nggak pernah kehabisan ide soal kuliner), lagi happening banget kue cubit rasa green tea dengan berbagai topping dari mulai meses sampe ke oreo.

Akhirnya nyobain kue cubit rasa green tea yang lagi happening itu di deket pasar cisangkuy. Awalnya sempet suudzon, itu cuma diwarnain doang, tapi ternyata enggak. Greentea nya kerasa! Nggak kecewa dehh..

Eh besokannya pengen lagi, berhubung lagi mager, akhirnya iseng nyobain bikin dirumah. Untungnya masih punya stock matcha powder.

Dan this is it.. Homemade Kue Cubit Greentea a la Gayuh..

Bahan;;

- Gula pasir 100g

- Telur 2 butir

- Terigu 100g

- Mentega 75g, cairkan

- Matcha powder 2 sdt (sesuai selera)

- Baking powder 1/4 sdt

Cara memasak:

1. Kocok telur dan gula sampai mengembang

2. Tambahkan mentega yang sudah dicairkan

3. Tambahkan terigu sedikit demi sedikit sambil diaduk

4. Tambahkan matcha powder 

5. Setelah adonan tercampur sempurna, masukkin baking powder lalu diaduk kembali

6. Siapkan wajan yang berbentuk cetakan kue cubit, olesi dengan mentega kemudian panaskan

7. Isi wajan dengan adonan setengah penuh, lalu tutup wajannya

8. Setelah setengah matang bisa langsung diangkat atau ditaburi topping sesuai selera

9. Kue cubit siap dicubit! ;p

Berhubung kita masak kue cubitnya di atas kompor, sedangkan abang-abang kue cubit masaknya diatas bara api, otomatis kue cubit yang dibikin dirumah lebih cepet mateng. Sooooo jangan ditinggal lama-lama yaah, nanti gosong.. ;p 

Anwyay, have a try!

Alhamdulillah so happy tummy!

Against the Fear

December 25, 2014

Assalamualaikum! :D

Alhamdulillah long holiday telah tiba!

Yaiy!

Happy holiday everyone!

Sabtu lalu tepatnya tanggal 20 December 2014, tepat pertama kalinya banget aku nyobain rafting alias arung jeram. Tadinya sempet ragu-ragu pas diajakin. Kenapa? Meski bisa berenang, aku anaknya gampang panik. :p Jangankan di sungai gede, di kolam renang aja kalau nggak fokus udah kayak mau tenggelam aja.
Sempet worried banged, tapi yaudah deh kapan lagi ada kesempatan buat ikutan rombongan rafting lagi. Daaaan akhirnya memutuskan untuk ikutan. Deg-degan sih awalnya, tapi yaudahlah yaa. Penasaran juga karena belom pernah nyoba dan ajang silaturahim juga sama temen-temen yang lain.
Pas udah confirm mau ikut, eeeeeh banyak bisikan bisikan nyebelin. Katanya rafting begini begitu, serem, bahaya, lalalalalalala. Sempet jadi ragu juga. But well, bismillah aja lah yaaa.. :) Kalau nggak coba sendiri kan nggak tahu kaya apaan. Ya kan?
Kalo dilihat dari segi cuaca yang udah nggak kemarau (biar nggak panas cyiin) terus ujannya juga belum terlalu heboh, kayaknya sih pas buat rafting. And I'm ready to against my fear! D

And the day is on!
Keberangkatan dibagi jadi tiga area, ada dari Purwakarta, Cikampek terus nanti kumpul di meeting point rest area tol jagorawi. Nah berhubung perginya pagi bingits, dan karena nggak ada yang nganter dari rumah akhirnya ikut nginep di rumah temen yang di Cikampek.
Pas hari Jumat tuh pulang dari kantor agak malem gegara ada kerjaan dan hujan. Pulangnya ngebet banget makan mpek-mpek di Cikampek. Eh taunya macet gara-gara banjir, tapi alhamdulillah pas sampe mpek-mpeknya masih buka. Nyaaaam! :D Abis itu langsung pulang.
Biasaaaa kalau cewek sleepover, nggak mungkin banget langsung tidur, pasti rumpi dulu, daaan baru tidur jam 12 lebih, padahal janjian untuk jalan jam 4 pagi.
Jeeeeeng jam 3 pagi baru bangun langsung buru-buru mandi daaaan siap-siap. Jam 4 udah dateng yang ngejemputnya, tapi keburu adzan jadi sholat subuh dulu baru cuusss.

On the way..

Dari Cikampek jalan sekitar jam 4 lebih, jam 6an udah sampe di meeting point. Baru deh jalan ke Sukabumi. Sekitar jam 10 udah sampe di Cherokee Arung Jeram. Sampe di tempat istirahat sebentar sambil sarapan. Menu sarapannya lengkap, nasi goreng, telor, sama kerupuk dll. Selesai sarapan istirahat bentar sambil nunggu rombongan yang belom dateng. Selesai sarapan, mulai siap-siap diangkut pake angkot ke pos tempat start arung jeram-nya. Posnya sekitar 15 menit dari tempat awal kedatangan. Sampai disana langsung siap-siap buat rafting.

Let's get prepare..
Pertama kita nyimpen tas, digabungin sama tas temen-temen serombongan dimasukin ke tas besar gitu. Nah tas besar itu disimpen di Pos Cherokee. Kedua mulai siap-siap ambil perlengkapan kaya rompi pelampung, helm, sama dayung. And here we go...

Dari Pos tadi kita jalan lagi sekitar 20 m ke pinggiran sungai tempat start rafting. Di pinggiran sungai udah ready boat-boat yang siap ngangkut rombongan-rombongan. :D Ternyata sekali jalan gitu banyak banget orangnya. Rombongan aku aja sampe 3 boat (masing-masing boat isi 6 orang + 1 orang guide), ditambah rombongan lainnya jadi sekitar 7-8 boat.
Sebelum mulai, dikasih tahu kalau air sungainya lagi tinggi, jadi jarak rafting yang tadinya 13km, dipotong jadi cuma 9km. Waktu naik ke boat, dug-dug ser gimana gitu rasanya, tapi mulai coba untuk tenang, bismillah! :D Galuh pasti bisa!
Boat aku isinya 6 orang, dengan 3 orang cewek dan 3 orang cowok. Ditambah 1 orang guide cowok namanya Pak Iir. Boat nya meluncur ke sungai, tapi sebelumnya guide-nya ngasih petunjuk seperti kapan mulai dayung, terus gimana cara belok, berhenti, sama boom. Setelah meluncur eh boat kita paling belakangan, haha sempet was-was karena ketinggalan sama yang lain. Tapi lama-lama bisa nyusul. Udaranya sejuk banget padahal udah diatas jam 10, mungkin karena pengaruh cuaca juga. Ternyata asyik yaa.. Ngikutin alur aliran sungai, ketika ada arus gelombangnya yang agak gede bikin perahunya naik turun. Asyik banget deh!
Subhanalloh, alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar. Ngeliat indahnya alam, segernya udara pegunungan, pleus nikmatin arus air yang jinak-jinak gemesin, maka nikmat mana yang kamu dustakan?
Arus air sungai yang kadang selow, kadang gemesin. Tapi so far masih tenang, dan karena isi boat nya 3 orang cewek, guide nya juga nggak bawa ke arus yang besar, lebih ke yang tenang-tenang. Kurang gereget sih jadinya. ;p
Di tengah perjalanan kita mampir dulu ke point tempat istirahat. Disitu kita istirahat dulu, terus dikasih snack. Istirahat sekitar 15 menit lah kira-kira. Lalu kita cuss lagi deh.
Dayung.. 1.. 2.. 3.. Heboh-heboh, teriak-teriak gajelas. Bener-bener ngelepas rasa penat. Ditambah udaranya yang seger banget. ;') Alhamdulillah. Bener-bener SERU!
Nagih banget. Kurang gereget. Kurang lama. Nggak kerasa banget tau-tau udah sampe. Dalem bayangan 9km itu kayak jauuuuuuuh bangets, tapi berhubung kita di arus mengalir jadi nggak terlalu kerasa.
Serius! Nagih pake banget! Feeling save juga karena selain di boat ada guide, kita juga diikutin sama rescue team-nya.

Setelah turun dari boat, kita jalan dikit lagi agak ke atas terus naik angkot lagi buat kembali ke pos awal tempat nyimpen barang-barang. Ternyata dari titik berhenti rafting tadi ke pos awal itu agak lumayan jauh. Jalannya kecil, berbatu-batu, kaya dikocok-kocok di dalem angkot, jadi berasa naik roller coaster. ;p Akhirnya sampe juga di pos, enaknya jadi rombongan nyampe duluan itu nggak perlu ngantri mandi. :D Fyi tempat mandinya di Cherokee Arung Jeram ini udah cucok cyin banget, bersih dan udah modern meski ditutupi dinding bilik bambu. Cuma sayangnya tempat mandi cowok-cewek sama aja. Dan pengalaman nyebelin banget, lagi mandi digedor-gedor sama orang yang nggak sabaran ngantri, cowok lagi. :(

Abis mandi udah di sediain kelapa muda, terus makan siang super lengkap pun udah tersedia. :D Disitu juga berjejer tukang pijet yang siap ngilangin pegel-pegel sisa-sisa rafting.
Seru pake bingits! :D Pengalaman rafting di Cherokee Arung Jeram ini worth 250.000 (Fasilitas Arung Jeram, sarapan, snack, kelapa, makan siang, air minum). Berhubung kemarin rutenya dipotong, dapet cash back yang akhirnya dipake buat cd foto hasil jepretan crew Cherokee.

Seru dan MAU LAGIIIIII!!!!!!!

See you on next experience! :D

Recommended menus of the week..

December 7, 2014

Assalamualaikum!

Aaaakk its been a long time nggak posting food review. Semoga nggak kehilangan kemampuan yeee.. :p

Mengingat terlalu sok sibuknya diri ini.

Alhamdulillah, kita mulai lagi yaaa.. :D

Minggu ini, Alhamdulillah dapet kesempatan buat silaturahmi sama temen-temen kesayangan. :') Alhamdulillah banget minggu ini komplit sekali, Good friends great food! Waktu hari Jumat makan di Hummingbird Eatery, hari Sabtunya makan di Le Marly Pantry. Dua-duanya punya tipe yang mirip, harga mirip, dan tipe makanan yang disajiinnya juga mirip. And... they never fail me! Dengan harga standard, kita udah dapet menu wah. Bener-bener worth with the price! Bukan cuma platting-nya aja yang cucok cyiin, rasanya juga endeuuus cyin. Adorable food to eat!

Biasanya kalau ke tempat itu makan makanan nggak terlalu berat, macem crepes, pancake atau side dish-nya. Minggu ini iseng nyoba main dishes-nya. Daaaan ini ceritanya...

Salmon Chacha a la Hummingbird Eatery on Friday Night

Sejujurnya sih ini bukan pesenan aku, tapi pesenan si abang. Ceritanya abang aku tuh nggak bisa makan-makanan sok bule, kudu banget makan nasi. Akhirnya doi pesen rice menu. Agak-agak khawatir sih, itu menu kayak gimana jadinya. Jreng jreeeeeeng! Semerbak aroma tasty salmon yang baru dimasak. Salmon is on the air! 

Feel amazed sama langsung otomatis ngiler ngeliat penampakannya. Nasi goreng dengan rupa-rupa condiments, pleus diatasnya ngejugrug potongan salmon segede gaban. Emmmm..... HAHAHAHA langsung rampoook! :p

Salmon Chacha a la Hummingbird Eatery

Look! Salmon segede gaban over the fried rice :9

Akhirnya pesenan pastanya, si aglio olio-nya rada dianggurin gegara Salmon Chacha ini. Jadi ceritanya tuh Salmon Chacha itu terdiri dari nasi goreng telor yang dikasih cacahan salmon, ditambah topping a la nasi goreng kayak kerupuk, telor ceplok, acar, salad, dan yang spesialnya potongan salmon segede gaban!

Pertama, icip dulu nasi gorengnya. Bikin terharu banget. Nasi goreng yang dibumbuin garem sama merica doang, tapi jadi makin cetar karena ada rasa tambahan dari cacahan salmonnya. Enak pake bingits!

Daaaan potongan salmon segede gaban-nya sih udah nggak perlu diraguin lagi, totally yummy!

A must try ketika mampir ke Hummingbird Eatery! Tapi pastiin pas lagi laper ya, karena porsinya gede! :D

Chicken Melt to-the-heart a la Le Marly Pantry

Tiga cewek imut kelaparan gegara dinginnya cuaca di musim hujan. Nyangkut disini nyari makanan yang bikin kenyang karena laper maksimal. Dan lucunya, pesenan jatuh pada si Chicken Melt. Kita bertiga pesen satu menu yang sama donk! Karena baca menu descriptionnya ; Baked chicken filled with ham, topped with mozzarella cheese, creamy spinach, butter blablabla, and mushroom sauce. Kayanya kebayang gitu enaknya tuh gimana gitu.

Dan setelah menunya dateng, mata pun terbelalak. Out of our expectation! In a good way tentunya. Jreng-jreng... Datang seporsi dada ayam yang tertutupi melting mozzarella cheese, ditambah lagi dibanjiri mushroom sauce yang wangi, dan yang menarik itu di deket mushroom sauce-nya ada potongan butter yang lama-lama melting dan bikinn sauce-nya tasty salty. Nyum! 

Melt to the heart.. Chicken Melt a la Le Marly Pantry

Pas dipotong ayamnya ternyata di dalemnya ada potongan beef ham yang lumayan tebel, rasanya nggak annoying, malah jadi saling melengkapi. Ayamnya well bake, tapi tetep juicy dalemnya. Terus ngumpet dibawah ayamnya ada mashed potato yang enak banget, salty and creamy banget. 

Bunch of mashed potato hiding under my chicken!

Does popeye know that there is tasty creamy spinach serve at Le Marly?

Honestly aku agak kurang suka sayur bayam, tp disini bayamnya dikasih cream sauce, dan nggak terasa kaya bayam. Ya ampun pokoknya terharu banget! Ini enak banget!

Anyway, gara-gara lagi laper berat awalnya ngerasa itu menu kayanya sedikit. Eh ternyata, bikin kenyang banget banget!

Hmmmm... Bener-bener melt to the heart!

Have a try!

Alhamdulillah so happy tummy!

marry-AGE

December 6, 2014

I'm 24 years old.

When It was at school I used to have target, to marry on 23.

But then, now I'm 24 not married yet.
Don't ask why, only me who understand why it hasn't come yet.

:)

Di umur 24 ini hampir tiap bulan ada undangan, dan bahkan bulan depan tiap minggu ada wedding kayanya. Dan juga di umur ini adalah ketika tiap ketemu orang ditanya kapan, atau bahkan ketemu orang yang nggak dikenal nanya udah married atau belum.

Maybe, its what we call 'marry-AGE'. Mungkin 24 dan usia di sekitarannya adalah usia yang paling pas untuk memulai hidup baru yang dinamakan pernikahan.

Honestly, tired untuk ditanya-tanya kapan. Atau ditanya kenapa belum juga padahal usia pacarannya udah kayak beresin cicilan rumah. Dan pertanyaan-pertanyaan annoying lainnya. A huffness in my deep heart to answer all of them.

I want to marry. I really want to marry. I will. On the right time, He gives me. On the right moment, He allows me.

I can't protest or even angry with the questions. Mereka punya hak untuk bertanya dan sama, aku juga punya hak untuk jawab 'Insya Allah, doain yaa..'. Gemes banget sih emang. Tapi apa mauuu dikata. Its life. Ketika belum lulus kuliah dulu, ditanya kapan lulus. Udah lulus ditanya kapan kerja, setelah itu ditanya kapan nikah, lalu bersambung ke pertanyaan-pertanyaan lainnya yang terus sambung menyambung nggak berhenti-henti.

I'm 24 and I'm in a 7 years relationship with a man. Mungkin dibilang apa yang ditunggu lagi? Tunggu izin dari-Nya. Bukan soal usia pas atau enggak, cukup atau enggak, lamanya kenal dia atau sebentar. Semuanya sudah direncanakan oleh-Nya. Sebuah rencana terbaik untuk masing-masing kita. And I believe, SUPER GOOD THINGS GONNA HAPPEN!

Marry.

Mungkin ada yang dimudahkan segala-galanya mulus sekali, misal sesuai target usia. Bersyukur. Tapi bukan berarti ada hak untuk judge yang belum juga. Bukannya ingin dimengerti, kita sama-sama berjuang, kita sama-sama punya harapan yang sama dalam bentuk berbeda, tapi kembali lagi, sang pemilik Grand Design yang menentukan segalanya. No judge. Aku juga mau menikah. 

Banyak cerita nyata soal perjalanan kesana. Ada yang tinggal selangkah lagi, tapi gagal. Ada yang baru mau melangkah sudah dipisahkan. Rahasia-rahasia kecil-Nya yang kita nggak tahu, tapi pasti ada maksud di  dalamnya. Husnudzon. Tetap optimis dan berpikiran positif. Berserah diri, meski sulit ditengah pertanyaan yang nggak berhenti-berhenti. 

Annoyed mind and mood swing gegara si 'marry-AGE'. Sulit. Tapi ya mau nggak mau harus bisa dihadapi. Daaaaaannn harus bisa belajar santai untuk nggak gampang emosi dengan pertanyaan 'kecil' tapi nyebelin.

Huff...

After this post blogged, I'm back to face all the question..

I'm on waiting.

Waiting for His license. And I hope, I can be strong enough to keep patient in my waiting.

Insya Allah, I will marry soon, when Allah say Yes.
Keep pray for me, okay?
Semoga Allah memudahkan, melancarkan, membukakan jalan dan rezeki-Nya untuk mewujudkan niatan baik tersebut.. aamiin Yaa Rabb

XOXO,

Galuh Fajriyah Galura 

     

a neverend class : LIFE

December 6, 2014

Dear all,

Really super duper long time no see.

Finally can push myself to give little touch to this blog.

Seems like i lost my me time, my words, and my ability to do little push over Ayala's keyboard.

How 'bout life?

Honestly i felt lost lately.

Just don't know what to do, where to go.

I'm losing myself.

Many things happened.

Many things come and go.

Many things I heard.

I learn that if I sad,

if i felt suffer,

if i felt really down,

i must know that other might be through harder life than mine.

I must keep learn to be thankful.

To enjoy every second, not to waste any of time given.

I don't know.

Life is a long journey.

Which we don't know where the end.

Like a class.

But a neverend class.

We keep learn and learn.

Then there are exams.

And many things to be through.

Just keep learn.

Hey Chicas! Un almuerzo feliz en Perky Pedro

14 September 2014,

Laper tapi lagi pengen coba yang beda, penasaran sama si Perky Pedro yang menyajikan Mexican Food. And here we go..

Chimichanga a la Perky Pedro

Chimichanga. Burittos isi sliced beef dibalut sama adonan kulit, terus digoreng pleus diatasnya ditaro melted cheese, called Chimichanga kalau dilengkapi sama mexican rice (mirip nasi goreng yang dibumbuin tomat). Dan khasnya mexican banget nggak lupa toppingnya ditambahin nachos pleus 3 macem saus (salsa, guacamole, sama sour cream sauce). 

Beef Quesadillas a la Perky Pedro

Must sauces : Guacamole, salsa, and sour cream

Khasnya banget Mexico, Quesadillas! Yang ini Quesadillas-nya diisi sama daging sapi cincang. Nggak lupa 3 macem saus tadi, teteeeeuuup exist! :D Quesadillas-nya enyak deh, cuma sayang agak terlalu berminyak. Dan yang agak missed lagi itu guacamole-nya kurang greget rasanya.. :D

The food really a must try!

Alhamdulillah so happy tummy!

A cup of CUPS

14 September 2014,

Assalamualaikum!

Long time no see.. :D

Actually you still can find my update post on my Tumblr (galuhgalura.tumblr.com) and my Instagram (@galuhgalura) 

Helloooo I'm ready to share again my food experience.

Pas minggu lalu dadakan ketemu sama Mukci bestie, pengen ngobrol sambil minum-minum dan ngemil cantik. Akhirnya milih CUPS. Belum pernah kesini sih, cuma penasaran aja. Katanya tempatnya cozy. 

Dari luar keliatannya minimalis banget cafe-nya. Mostly furniture-nya terbuat dari kayu daaan nggak too much decor, bener-bener simple. As a natural effect banyak kaktus di pot-pot kecil menghiasi seisi ruangan. And yang paling bikin jatuh cinta adalah sun bright effect! Yep, sebagian kecil atapnya dibikin transparan, jadi cahaya matahari masuk maksimal bikin efek dramatis ke seisi ruangan.

Sun bright fill entire of room.

You were my cup of tea, but I drink coffee now..

A cup of CUPS

Okay. Enough with the decor. Food? Drink? 

Pilihan menunya sedikit disini, kopi, teh, cemilan, and breakfast menu. Lately I have more enthusiast in coffee. Akhir-akhir ini lagi curious sama kopi, gegara waktu itu ada yang bawa kopi papua, nyobain, daaaan penasaran untuk tahu lebih soal kopi. Jadi pas dateng ke CUPS sudah berniat hati pengen minum kopi. Mukci yang dateng duluan udah pesen Affogatto (Single espresso ditambah vanilla ice cream), next time kesana kudu banget wajib nyoba satu minuman itu! Pas lihat deretan menu kepingin machiatto ditambah caramel (as usual, karena masih level cupu sebagai penikmat kopi). Tapi ternyata disini yang bisa ditambah extras macem-macem itu cuma latte, machiatto sama espresso-nya bener-bener pure coffee tanpa extra foam milk. Jadi aja nyoba caramel latte-nya. As side dish pesen Apple Cinnamon Waffle sama CUPS Platter.

Waktu iced caramel latte-nya dateng, lucuk deh, cute presentation. Selain dikasih whipped cream, diatas whipped cream ditaruh beberapa biji kopi. How about the taste....

Coffee bean as a topping!

Iced caramel latte a la CUPS

Even its a latte, campuran kopinya kerasa banget. Manisnya juga gak berlebihan. Mirip banget rasanya sama caramel machiatto-nya Starbucks! Pokoknya enak pake bingits!

Apple cinnamon waffle

Caramelized apple

Then here we go with the waffle, what I adore so much from the waffle? The apple! Caramelized apple yang nggak over cooked. You still can chew taste of apple. Dimasaknya nggak berlebihan, jadi apelnya masih kerasa utuh. Overall tasty, apalagi ditambah sprinkle of cinnamon, tapi sayang banget coba topping es krimnya pake yang rasa vanilla. Pasti lebih nyes di hati.. :p

CUPS Platter

Full of spices french fries! Nyum!

And the gong was... CUPS PLATTER !!!

French fries, Dori, champignon mushroom, dan chicken yang dibalut adonan tepung. French friesnya enak banget. Rasanya kaya kentang beneran bukan kentang frozen yang ada di super market, udah gitu french fries-nya dibumbuin ada rasa gurih sama sedikit spicy. Lalu untuk yang lain-lainnya kan dibalut sama tepung. Kirain tepung biasa, tapi tepungnya sungguh luar biasa ternyata. Adonan tepung terigu yang ala homemade gitu, terus bumbunya pun sungguh nikmat nggak terkira. The best part yang aku temuin adalah, chicken crispy yang bener-bener masih juicy banget dagingnya! ENAK BANGET!

A must try!

Alhamdulillah so happy tummy!

Catatan Hati Seorang Istri

August 10, 2014

Lately lagi hits banget di kalangan ibu-ibu ini sinetron CHSI (catatan hati seorang istri). Terlebih lagi adanya tokoh super duper nyebelin yang dipanggil Hello Kitty, musuh bebuyutan ibu-ibu gegara doi merupakan wanita idaman lain gitu. Awalnya nggak terlalu ngeh, tapi ketika orang-orang mulai heboh ngomongin Hello Kitty di socmed, iseng-iseng nonton beberapa kali. Rame sih. Tapi waktu mulai nggak jelas, berhenti deh nontonnya.

Well umm, katanya sih ini sinetron adaptasi dari novelnya mbak Asma Nadia dengan judul yang sama. Daaaan nggak beberapa lama, mamanya partner beli itu buku. Nggak sengaja tiap main ke rumah partner iseng baca.

Awalnya mengira isinya bakalan sama kaya ada yang di sinetron, tapi ternyata beda. Jadi bukunya CHSI itu lebih ke kumpulan cerita para istri mengenai rumah tangga mereka. Waktu baca bab awal, ngerasa salah banget untuk baca itu buku dalam kondisi belum married. Cerita-cerita serem mengenai pernikahan dari sudut pandang para istri. Dari mulai yang KDRT, sampe perselingkuhan, panas hati aja sih bacanya, mungkin malah bisa menyebabkan trauma.

Mulai masuk ke bab tengah buku, nggak terlalu semenyeramkan sebelumnya. Bahkan mulai merasa banyak yang bisa dipetik dari buku ini, untuk aku yang belum married. 

Bahwa pernikahan itu nggak kaya dalam dongeng, menikah, lalu selesai dan happily ever after. Kenapa menikah dikatakan ibadah? Karena menikah itu nggak mudah, banyak yang harus diperjuangkan untuk mempertahankannya. Enggak melulu indah. Kadang harus mengalah ataupun mendesak. Pernikahan dikatakan sakinnah bukanlah pernikahan yang nggak ada ributnya sama sekali, melainkan ketika ada masalah maka pasangan akan kembali ke Al Quran dan sunnah untuk berusaha menyelesaikannya.

Dan yang paling ngena waktu baca bab 'Kasih Kasmaran Lagi', bagaimana Kasih berulang kali mengungkapkan bahwa dirinya pengen cerai. Sebel sama suaminya. Sampai hampir ada orang ketiga. Kemudian merasa bahwa janji Allah tentang 'yang baik bagi yang baik' itu nggak berlaku bagi dirinya. Tapi lambat laun, seiring perjuangan tanpa sadar untuk mempertahankan rumah tangganya membuahkan hasil. Pernikahan tetap utuh dan keduanya saling introspeksi diri, saling memperbaiki diri. Sampai pada kesimpulan, 'yang baik untuk yang baik, gadis baik-baik mungkin akan dipertemukan dengan laki-laki baik yang akan menguji kesabarannya'.

Well, an inspirational book. For married and single woman. Tapi cowok juga nggak masalah sih baca. :p

Semoga bisa menjadi seorang wanita kuat dan lembut yang bisa menjaga keluarga yang sakinnah.. Aamiin Yaa Rabb..

Happy Reading!

The Phenomenal : Roti Gempol

August 10, 2014

Akhirnyaaaaaaaaaa.... :D

Punya kesempatan buat nyoba roti yang hits banget dan fenomenal banget itu. This is it..

Roti gempol..

Waktu SMA sering banget padahal main ke daerah sini, cuma nggak noticed aja sama keberadaan toko roti ini.

Penasaran banget, banyak yang bilang enak. Bahkan temen yang tinggal diluar kota malah udah pada nyoba dan bilang enak. Ketinggalan zaman banget yaa? :p Daaaan bahkan si partner eh udah duluan nyoba.. :(

Pertama dateng ke tempatnya itu bingung. Kenapa? crowded! Banyak banget yang beli. Tempatnya sederhana banget, kecil, tapi tetep banyak yang duduk-duduk untuk makan disitu. Pemandangan pertama itu yang nampak orang lagi bakar roti. Dateng-dateng lihat menu terus langsung pesen.

Partner bilang yang enak itu yang rasa asin, akhirnya mesen Roti gandum perseorangan dengan topping keju, telur dan smoke beef. Really can't wait for my bread!

Nggak lama kemudian pesanan dataaaaaang... 

Take a deep breath! Its looks so yummy!

Jangan bayangin roti bakar yang ada di tukang jualan biasa. Its totally different! Roti tawar yang di toast, with crunchy looks, nggak sama sekali kelihatan oily kaya di tukang roti biasa. Bener-bener homey banget, mari kita cobaaaaa...

Cocol saus sambel lebih enak...

Daaan voila! Rotinya beneran crunchy sama sekali nggak kerasa oily, isiannya sih biasa aja keju smoke beef sama telor, tapi paduan ketiganya nggak berlebihan. Beneran enak banget dan bikin nagih! Belum lagi rotinya yang bikin sendiri itu rasanya beda banget. Enak banget dan a must try banget! :9

Alhamdulillah so happy tummy!

Have a try!

Happy Saturdate in Warung Pasta

6 July 2014,

Nggak pernah bosen-bosen deh ke Warung Pasta. Inget banget dateng kesini pas awal-awal buka, momentnya pas buka bareng pertama kali sama si Eheeeem. Selalu jatuh cinta sama baked pasta-nya, terutama si Bloody Mary. 

Senengnya disini tuh menunya buanyaaaaaak banget, jadi nggak bosen-bosen. Banyak banget yang pengen dicoba. Selain tempatnya yang cozy, affordable price, makanannya enak dengan porsi yang pas!

Sebelum Ramadhan, saturdate kesini. Rasanya nggak terlalu lama deh datang kesini, etapi tapi menunya udah nambah banyak banget! Makin banyak pilihan pleus makin banyak banget yang pengen dicoba. Tapi berhubung ada yang lagi diidamin, akhirnya kemaren pilih calzone-nya, meski bukan menu baru, tapi yaah pengen coba sik. :p

Calzone yang dipesen yang mitty cheese. Calzone itu mirip pastel, tapi ukurannya gede banget! Dari namanya ketebak donk toppingnya itu keju sama daging. Yep! Betul sekali!

Waktu dateng, ngerasa amazed banget sama size-nya yang gede banget itu!

Mari kita makan! :D

Mitty Cheese Calzone a la Warung Pasta

*siap-siap* Berasa mau belah duren aja makannya.

Intip isian calzone-nya. Saus daging pleus keju! Nyam!

Adonan calzone-nya itu mirip sama yang dipake buat di pizza tipis Warung Pasta. Kebayang donk gimana garing-garing chewy-nya gituh. Teruuuus isiannya itu loh saus daging cincang + lelehan mozzarella cheese + taburan parutan cheddar cheese. Endeeeeuuuus banget cyiiiin. Another must try! :9

Sunset Affair a la Warung Pasta

Segar banget! Bener-bener pemadam kehausan.. Sunset Affair a la Warung Pasta.

Buat minumannya, ada nih menu baru yang kece badai. Sunset Affair! Syrup nanas, ditambah syrup vanilla, dicampur sama daun mint yang ditumbuk, ditambah lagi potongan strawberry! NOM! Seger tiada duanya. Psst... Minuman seger tuh emang paling cocok buat mendampingi makanan yang mengandung keju. :D

Alhamdulillah so happy tummy!

Chicken Parmigiana with Spinach Fettucine a la Pizza Hut

6 July 2014,

Assalamualaikum!

Udah lama banget nggak posting...

And I really miss it! :D

Okay anyway, this is another late post. :)

But better be late than never lah yaaa.. :D

My recent favorite pasta di Pizza Hut itu Nyonya Curry Spaghetti, but lately pengen coba cita rasa lain. Akhirnya coba pesen Chicken Parmigiana with Green Pasta.

Chicken Parmigiana with Spinach Fettucine a la Pizza Hut

Green pasta? Yep! Di menu ini karbohidratnya berupa pasta yang ditambahin bayam, jadi warna pastnya hijau. Lalu pasta yang udah direbus al dente ini ditumis pake olive oil + chilli flakes, a la olio aglio gituh. Daaaan lalu sebagai toppingnya ada potongan dada ayam yang gede banget yang udah di bake pleus ada lelehan mozzarella diatasnya.

How that's sound?

TASTY!

Pasta + olio aglio (olive oil, rempah, chilli flakes) nya enyak banget.. nyam!

Olive oil + chilli flakes nya bener-bener tasty in mouth. Nge blend di mulut secara sempurna. Kalau dirasa-rasa sih kayanya ada campuran rempahnya juga, jadi gurih dan enak banget! Pastanya meski dikasih bayam tapi nggak kerasa kok bayamnya. :D

Chewy and juicy chicken breast topped with mozzarella cheese!

Lalu yang bikin semuanya perfectly epic adalah si baked chicken breast nya. Perfect bake! Juicy and super tasty! Chewy gitu nggak kering, dan makin sempurna ditambah sama lelehan mozzarella.

Maka nikmat mana yang kamu dustakan? ;)

Alhamdulillah so happy tummy!
