For my visit to Bali this time, I decided to stay in Le Pirate Beach Club for 3 days and 2 nights, because I saw pictures of it and the location is full of my favorite colors 😍 I feel like arriving on a turquoise haven, and here I'm going to share about my experience and few guides for staying here.

To go there, I used a speed boat from Sanur, and you can find the ticket counter nearby a famous fish culinary place "Mak Beng" (which is also a recommended culinary visit!). Look for a destination to Nusa Lembongan.

Visited Seaphoria for lunch yesterday. Upon arriving, I felt a little bit uncomfortable with their cramped parking lot space, but no worries because they also provide valet service. First, let's look at these photos of the place and its interior.

Recently, I was upset with a friend. I felt like she is only looking for me when she needs something for me, or when she has no one to accompany her. So I don't feel like we're close enough and therefore I didn't try to fix the problem as well.

But she was the one who first came up to me and said sorry. She explains all things that might cause me to misunderstand. We talk about each other's feelings and things that weighs our heart. And I go home with a happy smile on my face. No burden, no sadness, no being upset whatsoever.

It felt good to fix a problem and finish the matter. It felt good to lose a hatred or disappointment in your heart and feels lighthearted.

I learn that there are times when people are not as bad you thought they would be. Sure, people might make you upset and there are times when you hate them so much. But nobody's perfect. Everyone's got a flaw and their flaw might not be tolerable for you. However, when you choose to fix it, it can also happen that it is only a misunderstanding. And it is so not worth it to break a relationship over a grudge, or misperception.

In order not to be disappointed in the future (or at least minimize the disappointment), don't expect people to be flawless. Don't expect people to understand you either. Keep it in your mind that people do have both bad and good side, and they can do some mistakes as well.

After all, why fill your life with hatred when you can fill it with happiness?

Inspired by a recent vlog from Connor Franta (Why I Never Had Boyfriends) and Arden Rose (Why I  Never Had Girlfriends), I realized that it is quite relatable with my life these past months, or year.

Not that I hate my own gender nor femininity, I do have my girl squad as well, but after high school I was just surprised with how girls friendship works.



Back then in my high school, with my girl friends we spend most of our times talking about food, making crazy jokes, being silly, planning for our dream vacation and recent news from Hollywood. Maybe it was because most of my close girl friends were boyish, or we already spent years being friends, but here in Uni, it is so different and I found it more complicated I finally understand why guys thinks girls are complicated.

When I only joke around or stating my logic, some girls just got offended and thinking that I was rude. When I talk directly or straightforwardly, some girls just think that I am impolite, but when others don't say it directly, girls thought they were backstabbed or betrayed. It just confuses me how they ask people to tell them directly but get hurt when people do that. I also having a hard time trusting girls because they talk about something in front of you and talking about it differently on your back. There are times as well that some girls are telling different stories with what was happening in reality.

I also feel that girls created much more dramas. Sometimes they could get mad at someone just because of a little things, and this hatred could go on for a hella LONG time. I also just learn in Uni that girls expect their friends to be on their side no matter what, and hate people who they themselves also hate. It's hard for me because I got used to be objective and I think that it is wrong to be on someone's side when you think what they are doing is not right. Even though you are my friend, when you are wrong I will not defend you and instead just say it honestly in front of you, and my mom said this could become a trouble if I am friends with girls who demanded loyalty 24/7. I also can't hate people if they did nothing to me, and therefore can't hate people just because my girl friends hate them.

Aside from my close bestfriends, I find it more comfortable to hang out with guys, because they don't conceal the fact and we can just talk directly with each other. They also rarely do gossips and I could trust them with my rants and secrets. Guys rarely become sensitive just because of what I did or said, and sometimes when they play games or talk about cars, I can just keep silent and it is okay for them. My boyfriend and guy friends also give the best advice sometimes, they are willing to listen and understand and directly to the point in giving the solution, and it makes me comfortable because I don't have to get stuck in a drama or a problem for a long time. Moreover, even though sometimes guys joke around calling me fat, but I don't get uncomfortable when I eat a lot, because they did too. And I don't have to feel like I have to eat salads and veggies and counting calories.

Again, I am not saying that all girls are mean and annoying and all bad things, and I am not saying that being female is a bad thing. Just because some girls are making you uncomfortable, doesn't mean that all girls are like that and we can't stereotype a person just based on the gender. I love hanging out with girls sometimes, when we can just shop and talk about clothes and K-dramas and I love how girls can relate so well to the way I feel about stuffs. I love how some girls were nurturing and cares so much about their friends, and some girls were crazy like real crazy and not playing pretend. I still love my mom and my girl friends so much, and I am not planning to stop only until these rants about this small population of mean girls, but I wish WE could all learn something from this. I believe woman should empower one another, instead of bringing each other down. I believe woman should stop hating on each other and talk about each others' back. I believe woman should be able to tell others when they are wrong, and accepting other's advice and critics as well.

I also wish that us girls could learn more to become a wise woman, in a way that no matter what people tell behind our backs, and no matter what nasty rumour said about us, let us learn to just.. try to be a little more positive. When that happens, all we can do is only 1) Confront people or 2) Close our own ears and be ignorant because we can't just control other people's mouth or brains. After all, if what people said is wrong, time will soon reveal the truth. If you feel that the rumour is wrong, just keep being good and be yourself, instead of making matters worse by persuading people to be on your side. Or maybe start being the one who do kindness, who forgives and if possible, forget. "We can't control the filters that others choose when they look at us". Spread love, not hate; easier said than done, I know; but let us slowly learn together.

Dear Caroline,

Life might be hard for you right now, but be tougher.
In the future, the world will try to crush you in every way possible.
Breakups, choosing between friends and your significant one,
Deciding which path to take for your future,
Choosing between what you love & what people wants.

Remember, you can't please everyone.

Enjoy your time drawing dresses, enjoy your time singing to every Disney movies you're watching
In the future, there are times where people might not appreciate you for your talent, nor your creativity.
But your brain instead.
In the future, happily ever after is a once upon a time,
But you have the power to choose how you want to feel.

Not everyone will love you for the way you are,
And no matter what you did, sometimes it will always be wrong in the eyes of people who hates you.

You might be worried that you won't ever find your Prince Charming,
or he might not like you for everything that you are.
But trust me, at the right time,
you'll have a love story with someone who loves you just the way you are.
It might not be all sunshine and rainbows,
but the storms and rains can strengthens the bond.

Not everyone wants to be your friend,
but not everyone hates you either.

You might feel like you want to give up, over and over again. Don't.

Enjoy your time eating Cheetos and Pringles and Oreos and Pizzas,
Because aside from having to stay healthy in the future,
Some people will be glad to take joy in listening to you being sad about your weight.

However, not all people meant what they say and say what they meant.
Those people who always talk straightforwardly or hurt you sometimes?
They will hurt you with the truth.
But hey, they will be there to listen and give you the best advice you are going to need.

You will find out later in life that people who love to eat, are the best people
They might bully you and insult you and joke about you.
But they will build legos with you when you failed your class,
And study together through all the ice chocolate and cakes and burgers and infinite refill of sodas.

Although remember, that not everything that people say are the truth.
Before you talk about something, make sure it's true.
Before you believe, learn to listen from both sides' point of view.
Don't get carried away, don't judge, don't assume.
Sometimes you never know what happen until you're in their shoes.

Your friend might choose their grades over friendships,
But try to understand that those two things can be separated so that it won't affect one another.
You can reach your goal, while at the same time keeping the friends you loved.
Learn to tolerate, learn to be forgiving.

When you have a problem, telling it to a lot of people will only make it worse.
Speak and solve it directly only with the person who is related or involved.

One by one your friends will leave.
But when they get back, it will feels like they never left.
And you will realize that they are the only people in the world who gets your jokes.
Who understands when you're talking about those literary devices you will soon learn.
Who calls each other bitches, but always there to provide a shoulder to lean on.

Laugh to yourself, make a joke about yourself, don't overthink things.
There will be times when you are glad that you can be a sunshine in other's life and make them having a hard time breathing, because they're too busy laughing.

Be prepared for the future, because life is going to get harder and harder.
Cherish the time & people you have now, because the clock keeps ticking and it will soon fleet fast.
