  • Weekend Links


    How are you, friends? I feel like I’m not being myself in the blog lately. My writings feel and look forced, as if I write just to fulfill an obligation. I don’t want blogging to become this stressful. I want to go back to fun blogging, like I used to do a few years ago when I wrote everyday basically about what I had been doing that day. Simple as that; like writing a diary, only people from all over the world can read it. Does that make sense? Will my day-to-day rambling be appealing to you? What do you want me to write more, seriously?

    And because I’m so caught up in this feeling of wanting to write like the good ol’ days, this week’s Weekend Links is a collection of my favourite posts on my own blog. Sound narcissistic? Totally! But maybe you can see a different side of me by reading these golden treasure. Haha!

    Whoa, I end up listing too many posts! So sorry. But I hope you find your favourite posts too 😉

    Have a great weekend!

  • Weekend Links (All About Blogging)


    I survived the internet apocalypse! Well, clearly not an apocalypse, but I was so miserable anyway. We finally have our internet back and running, so I can be back to regular blogging and watching cat videos. Yay!

    This week has been going on so slow. We took Jess to the vet for the very first time for her very first shot and have done nothing else exciting. We planned on going to Pangandaran Beach which was supposed to be today, but canceled because of a lot of things. But we’re going to Keuken #6 tomorrow, so we’ll just lay low and relax today.

    This week’s Weekend Links consist of a lot of blogging topics, because I feel like I need to re-motivate myself in the case of blogging. I’ve been feeling uninspired lately, maybe due to the lack of internet connection so I haven’t read people’s blogs too much.

    Here ya go!

    I need more of these blogging-related tips. Do you have some? Share with me!

    Man, living with no internet connection is like living under a rock inside a cave. I’m not actually a person with FOMO, but let’s be honest here, I can go a day or two without checking my Twitter or Instagram, but one week is too much. I have yet to solve this issue but I’m still trying. Bear with me!

    But I’ve still managed to collect a few links. Enjoy!

    • Flying or invisibility? Kristin’s post has made me wonder. I’d take flying, though. How about you?
    • Cat ladies, assemble! These tips on how to get better photos of your kitties needs to be bookmarked, like, right now.
    • I’m not intending to make my blog go full commercial as for now, but I’ve been saving useful tips like this one about writing sponsored content. Just in case, you know… (Hey, brands! Hi!)
    • Speaking of sponsored content, my childhood hero, Hilary Duff, released a new music video for her single, Sparks. It’s been criticised and dubbed as a big commercial for Tinder. I honestly like the song and I cringed at the video. What do you think?
    • Ramadhan is closing in (less than a month!) and so is the Eid. I like shopping but I’m not a fan of Eid shopping because everybody seems to do it at the same time and so it’s crowded and hot. I’m going Eid shopping from home this year. You know, just sitting in front of the computer and choosing pretty (+modest) dresses from Zalora. Oh the joy of living in the digital era! (See? Internet connection is my basic need!)

    I haven’t been in your blogs for a while, so let me know what you’ve been up to this week! Did you have fun?

    I’m closing this week with a good news: I got a job! I had the interview and microteaching test yesterday and I got the part time teaching job. I’m starting next Wednesday and I can hardly wait! I’ll tell you all about it in a couple days 😉

    And links!

    Have fun this weekend!

    Hey, there! After having two consecutive long weekends, this weekend seems odd. We went shopping with my mum and my little sister yesterday, and I had a photo session with the teachers of Mata Ilmu Private Course today. The weekend has been fun so far, but very exhausting. Sadly tomorrow is Monday and that means husband’s going back to work and I’m going back to job hunting (yes, I’m a job hunter again now!). But next Thursday is a holiday so this week will again be shorter than the others. LOL!

    And onto this weekend’s links:

    • I’ve been splurging badly these past few weeks. Need to stop ASAP and do these things instead of spending money.
    • How many times should we be told that we’re not actually responsible for other’s happiness?
    • Sometimes we can be so hard on ourselves. This apology letter to body is a good reminder that this is our body and we only have one and that we should love it.
    • When I was still teaching English classes in a high school, I used to be guilty of having favourite students. It’s kinda hard not to.
    • I loveee reading people’s love story (i.e. how they met, how their first date was, how the proposal was, etc. I’m simply a nosy person :p). One of my favourtite singers, Meiko, just got married a couple weeks ago and she shared how she first met her (then future) husband. Super sweet!
    • If you’re a blogger, you shouldn’t be ashamed of promoting yourself/your blog. Here’s why.
    • I was a sponsor of Sara’s blog last month and she’s hosting a giveaway from me right now. Enter to win a phone case (which I reviewed here)!

    How has your weekend been? 😉
