Just after my graduation announcement (more stories about it later), I had a short getaway with my family to the beach. It's been a routine since I was young, for every one or two years, to go on vacation like this. YEAH it never fails to impress me though. I had so much fun I must say. The highlight must be playing with the waves: it come towards you, push you forwards, and then it go to the shoreline and disappear, but here come another. It's not something you can experience anywhere or anytime. You just feel nothing but grateful. Also, not to mention the overload delicious food. My stomach almost couldn't handle it anymore. This definitely remarks my freedom. My thought was lightened, my heart was lightened. I felt so warm around my simple family. It's just perfect.

There is this coffee place named Crematology. I was just wondering... why Crematology? Is that word has a meaning? 

So apparently Crema is a Spanish word for cream. I guessed then Crematology kind of means : science of cream. Interesting eh? I love the place as much as I love the name. It's kind of quirky, laid back ambiance, beautiful sunlight everywhere, good coffee, and people didn't mind us when we took a lot of photos, because THAT was pretty much what everyone's doing. 

As you can see, I did BIG changes to this blog, and I was very excited doing it. Didn't plan it actually, it just happened that I saw this simple but beautiful layout, and did it right away. I put so much effort to it, hope you love it as much as I am!

I have been really into reading lately. Sometimes I got information that's very interesting and inspiring. And that took me to a place I can never thought before. 

This book from one of my favorite blogger, Diana Rikasari, called 88 Love Life. What I thought when I read this book is, OMG that is so true! So I picked one of my favorite as in this picture above :

LISTENING DOES NOT ONLY REQUIRE YOU TO OPEN YOUR EARS, BUT ALSO YOUR HEART AND MIND; 

BECAUSE THE INTENTION TO LISTEN IS NOT TO SIMPLY REPLY, BUT TO UNDERSTAND AND FULFILL. 

THE BEST PEOPLE ARE THOSE WHO GREATLY LISTEN TO OTHER PEOPLE. 

BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE MATTER.

In the mood of pastel, and I'm a cafe person like that. I can say many things have changed and nothing could be the same anymore. Yes, lesson learned. However photography will always be something I want to do more and more. Actually we planned to visit St. Ali, famous coffee shop from Australia that recently opened in Jakarta. But there were long queue when we arrived, but the place looks so cool! Hopefully got a chance to properly try their coffee and food next time. Meanwhile, this is Yo Kitchen, a simple and cozy cafe to save the day.

Love, S
