(Re) Defining Body Positivity

"kok lo gendutan ya sen?"

"makin lebar ya sen?"

"kok lo udah diet tapi tetap sama aja ya keliatannya?"

Sebagai wanita yang memiliki tubuh besar, saya sering sekali mendapatkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan seperti itu yang (terkadang) membuat saya merasa tidak percaya diri. Pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut sepertinya tidak pernah pergi meninggalkan pikiran saya, yang akhirnya saya akan menganggap dan berbicara pada diri sendiri bahwa saya tidak akan pernah cukup bagi orang-orang sekitar. Seperti misalnya,

"Sen lo gendut banget sih, mana ada cowok yang suka sama lo nanti"

atau

"ihhh muka lo bulet banget sihh kaya tahu bulet" 

dan seterusnya yang memberikan suggest negative terhadap diri sendiri.

A Little Sweet Escape in Bali

Hey guys, yup I'm back again writing on the blog yeah. well this time I would like to write about my experience in Bali, alone. well yes, alone. why alone? you dont have friends Sendy? haha not really, why i choose to be alone in Bali cause i went there not for holiday instead of having something to do which is JOB INTERVIEW. Yass job interview in Bali. well am i crazy that I went to Bali from Jakarta only for interview? I dont think so, cause i believe miracle could happen in anywhere and anytime eventho yeaa i spent a lot money for it but nothing is payoff if you havent try anything right? right! 

I'm personally a person that would do anything to make my goal come true, even for finding a job that really suitable for me. FYI, I have been jobless form few months. Sad? definitely yes. I have tried my best to get accepted in some companies i have applied, but God says other things. I havent got a job till now but i believe someday i will and i believe in God that He has better plans for myself that still keeping it for the right time. Have in Faith ya sen!

Anyways, when i was in Bali, well nothing cool things happened sih but it was just incredible short sweet escape. I have been to Bali before but not alone! and this time, when i was alone it was pretty amazing and yes i knew the road and street in Bali now. So whenever you need company to Bali, just call me yes? :D I stayed in AKATARA STAY, booking by airbnb. It's located in Jimbaran and not that far from airport and Nusa Dua. the stay is pretty cool! they have king size, AC, TV, and aslo WiFi with affordable price per night

Hotel room

The room is pretty large and its so clean. and yes the most important one is, WiFi connection is so fast. so you dont need to worry if you are working on digital world, this hotel is very recommended! Not only that, the owner of Akatara is also friendly. Called Enddy and Pak Gusti, they assisted me well during my sweet short escape. I rent the motorbike and it only cost Rp. 60.000 per day. what a price! its really cheap if you compare the price in the rent bike station. the price could be twice higher than this. Besides, the location of my place is easy to find. It has many spot to do and if you get lost you can ask people Nusa Dua Square or Universitas Udayana. pretty simple and i bet you wouldnt get lost anymore if you are in Bali alone ;)
