Opening 2019 with a good learning : the person you've spent a long time with, doesnt necessarily be the person you'll spend time with forever. If both hearts and minds arent in the same place, reasons will always come up. Sometimes you just have to be faithful to what God has planned for you. So thank you, next.
Hello!
I just had a verruca electricauter today. Sounds sophisticated aint it?
Lol no. It is actually embarassing for me eventhough there's nothing really to be embarassed about.
So, easily you can google what verruca is. I have a looot of verrucas I have no idea why and how i got them. Doctor said i have tens (twenty-ish) of them. And she also said that it was caused by infection and occur more easily if you have wet skin surface. I have either extremely dry or extremely sweaty palm (foot and hand). It doesnt really bother me too much except for during high school exams when I needed to continously wipe my sweaty palm so that it didnt wet my exam paper. But, it hasnt really bothered me so much (medically speaking).
The thing about verruca is; it LOVES wet surface. That's why I have plenty. Some of mine were already painful because its depth and thickness (which i think put a pressure on other areas on my toes). so i went to see a doctor. A dermatologist to be precise. Well, actually some nurses suggested to go to surgeon. But I needed to confirm with dermatologist because before today, I was only self-google search-diagnozed.
And there I was. In the dermatologist room. She was surprised by my feet. Oh by the way it was only my right foot. After signing for financial thingy (thank god I have a good health insurance covered by my company), they (dermatologist and a nurse) treated my foot. They injected anesteshia on each VERRUCAS! and it was hella painful. I had a trouble breathing in and out eventhough they told me to. But well i tried. Like seriously tried. Haha. After that they treated my verruca using electrocauter and perhaps some kind of blade? It didnt hurt because of the drug. But I could pretty much smell the burnt skin so it was kinda horrifying for me.
They treated the 4 big verrucas. The painful ones. But to treat the small ones, they said they werent able to inject anestesy on each of them. So they wanted to electrocaute me without it. I said well okay if you did it quickly. But YOU WISH. As soon as the tool landed on my foot, I pulled my foot in shock.
Nah. I'm good. I'm done for the day. Bye thanks it was painful.
Lol so yeah
They stopped. I need to control the after-ops foot after 1 week. And i need to change my bandage and put some medication on it for 1 week and no water for my feet. (Lol. I'm sure I can handle water from outside. But remember, my feet are SWEAAAYTY). Wish me luck guys!!!
Ps : I really wish my mother were there as when it comes to doctor, I am always so scared.

Rach
Good morning everyone!
So, my name is Rachmi and I am a drilling engineer. I
studied Petroleum Engineering in Institut Teknologi Bandung and graduated on
July 2016. After that I joined national oil company for internship in drilling
department for 10 months, then moved to multinational oil company, as a
drilling engineer.
So, how do I get here?

Back when I was in senior high school, I was that nerdy kid
that no one knew about. Like literally, I was such a nerd that even my class
leader didn’t know who I was until 12th grade. We happened to be in
one class and he innocently asked my friend who I was, he thought I was a new
kid. That was kinda painful and embarrassing.
Then, I wanted to be different. I didn’t want to take any mainstream
major. And I wanted it to be a difficult major, I wanted to prove myself that I
was worth knowing for. Well, I was so naïve. But there I was, so determined to
prove to the world I was something. I decided to take a faculty of mining and
petroleum engineering in one of the best technical institute in Indonesia.
Well, I failed the first attempt. I cried hard and loud. But
I needed to get up. Who else would help me if I give up? I took extra classes
seriously and took the second test. I made it. I made it. I MADE IT. Finally Alhamdulillah.
And I became the only female from my school to join the faculty.
I passed the first year with several hiccups, especially on
my calculus and (perhaps) physics grade. Those aren’t my cuppa tea. After the
first year we will be put into four different majors; mining, petroleum,
metallurgy, and geophysic. I was determined to take the petroleum engineering
major, which was the best at the time amongst other majors so my bad grades
were concerning. But alhamdulillah, I was blessed and I got the seat.
There were three sub-majors in my faculty : reservoir
engineering, production engineering and drilling engineering. We studied all
those three. But the funny thing is, of all sub-majors, I used to hate drilling
engineering, It’s my least favourite subject at school. I was more of a
reservoir and production person. Why you asked? It’s mainly because drilling is
a whole different world to the rest sub-majors. It’s not very petroleum
engineering-ish, more of a mechanic thing. It involved a lot of mechanic and
physics formula that are not as complicated as reservoir and production
calculation but really isn’t my thing. Considering I had bad grade on calculus
and physics, this wasn’t helpful at all. And on top of that, drilling world,
due to what I thought was really field-based, is really dominated by male
population, while reservoir and production, not so much.
But it’s like a curse you know. What you hated becomes what
you have to do now. The world really is mocking me. By the time I graduated,
the oil price had been falling down, and I mean really hitting the bottom for 2
years. It was such a bad time for my class overall. And somehow, I got accepted
in the biggest drilling service company in the world, which was very field
based. But I hated it. The whole assessment process only took a day. Next day
when I got accepted, I even cried due to me hating being away so much. And
despite of the big offer, I declined it. I was not ready and prepared.
Then my CV was empty for one solid month. I was frustrated. I
felt really ungrateful for the turned down offer. A lot of what ifs scenario
were playing in my head. What if I took the job. What if I didn’t turn it down.
What’s the worst could happen with me being on the field. Those were all very intoxicating
and unhealthy for me. I looked for so many jobs. I even applied to other jobs
other than in oil and gas industry. Honestly, I was only looking for hope. To keep
my spirit up. I went to so many interviews and get declined countless times.
However I stick to one belief : God was testing me, whether my effort was big
enough to get the job I dreamed of. I wanted to prove to Him that I really
meant it. I really was determined. And I really wanted a job. I was so hopeless
until one day I got email from national oil company and they said I got the
internship position in drilling department.
Drilling… well again, life was mocking me. But this time I
was really happy. I was excited. There was no field job whatsoever. Everything seemed
really great. But one thing. They said this was not their way to employ people
permanently. So literally there was NO chance for me being employed. And, I was
only an intern, there was no responsibility whatsoever and the money wasn’t that
great. It was below standard minimum paycheck for Jakarta. And instead of
paycheck, they even called it “allowance”. But I took it anyway, I needed hope
and there He answered.
Oh, for your note, I lived with my parents, and still am. It’s
a pretty safe and economic condition for me. First day, first week, first month
passed by. Literally, I asked my mentor the same thing everyday “What can I
help with today, sir?” and the answer was always “Take your time, there’s
nothing much to do here, just enjoy!”. I was confused on what I had to do every
single day. There were only really little amount of jobs given to me. So what
did I do everyday? I looked for another job. I applied to so many jobs I lost
my counting. I went to so many interviews. And hey, I never hide anything from
my mentor. He knew all the process. He even encouraged me to look for another
job.
Until one day, I registered myself to one of the
multinational oil company as a completion engineer. There were two positions
available : completion and drilling. I didn’t choose the drilling because I
still prefer production – reservoir thing. And completion was production-ish. After
registering myself, I actually didn’t really think about it. I made it the
first assessment which was online. Then I went through the second which was
screening interview by phone. There were only about 20 people made it to this
stage. By this time I was just noticing that hey, I might actually secure the
job. But I wasn’t that confident due to countless job application failures. And
then I made it to next stage which was technical and HR interview. I was so
nervous but Alhamdulillah I managed to answer some questions pretty
confidently. Thanks to the internship, so I didn’t forget about drilling stuff.
Then I got the call again. They wanted
me to do the final assessment day. So I went through FGD, presentation and
interview. I felt really intimidated during the HR interview. I felt so
hopeless and I thought that was it. There was no way I got accepted. But… God
said differently. I got a call a week
later and they said I got the job. I was soooooooo thankful, grateful and
excited. I cried due to the fact it was my last months from the end of contract
as an intern.
Couple of weeks later, they told me :
“Hey, by the way, you are gonna be a drilling engineer ya. Not
a completion engineer”
Now that’s amusing.

Rach
Halo!
Haha ini super random ya tapi mau ngasi tau aja buat yang
mungkin belum tau dan semoga membantu :D
Jadi semenjak tahun lalu (atau yah nyaris dua tahun lalu)
aku sudah resmi melepas status mahasiswa dari Bandung dan kembali lagi ke
habitat ku di Bekasi. Dari Bandung yang super nyaman, kos di tengah kota dan
kemana mana gampang, nyemplung ke Bekasi yang aduh udahlah, mau jalan tuh males
karena panas, dan kendaraan umum juga agak susah, plus kalo ke tempat agak jauh
harus nyambung berkali-kali ya.
Nah,
WORRY NOT MA FRIEND!
I’m here to save you (if you happen to be save-able)
hahahahha
Oke, aku akuin emang di Jabodetabek udah banyak opsi pilihan
kendaraan ya untuk pergi kemana-kemana termasuk ke tempat kerja. Mulai dari
KRL, angkot, bis kota, dan busway. Dan ya, mereka itu sangat amat membantu
dalam menyediakan angkutan umum yang terjangkau. Tapi, pasti tau dong kalau
kalian mau naik kendaraan kendaraan di atas, pasti harus bersaing bersam
puluhan bahkan ratusan penumpang lainnya, apalagi di jam-jam ramai kaya pergi
ke kantor. Dan itu ga terlalu nyaman kan?
Nah! Aku punya solusi yang (mungkin sebenernya tidak etis?)
membantu banget buat kenyamanan dan kantong. Yaitu :
BIS DEPARTEMEN PEGAWAI NEGERI!
Hahahhah jadi gini, dari awal aku kerja, paling ga ada kali
tungan bulan aku naik kendaraan umum yang bener-bener umum. Sisanya pastiiii
naik bis departemen. Dan ini tuh sama sama menguntungkan, bagi penumpang dan
supir bus nya. Karena biasanya sifatnya omprengan dan pegawai aslinya ga penuh
penuh banget jadi bisa ditumpangin sama orang-orang biasa.
Bis departemen tuh bener-bener ngebantu banget deh pokoknya.
Karena kamu bisa bebas tidur atau santai ga perlu waspada ada copet dan
teman-temannya. Makanya, tau rute yuk! Setahuku, hampir semua bis departemen
ada dari barat, timur, utara dan selatan jabodetabek. Nah, kamu bisa numpang
tuh. Tapi, harus cari yang searah dan sesuai kea rah kantor ya! Tanya aja
supirnya. For your info, banyak departemen negeri yang kantornya di daerah Jakarta
pusat. Jadiii, bagi kantor-kantor yang DILEWATI oleh bus-bus tersebut, boleh
numpang!
Contoh, dulu aku numpang bus departemen perhubungan atau
departemen dalam negeri dari jatibening ke kantor ku di Kwarnas (Jakarta pusat)
tapi banyak orang yang turun di daerah Sudirman, Karet, Matraman, dll pokoknya
yang dilalui oleh si bus tersebut. Nah, untuk kantorku yang sekarang berada di
TB Simatupang, aku numpang sama bus departemen pertanian deh. Karena dilewatin
sama bis ini. Naaah, gitu deh! Gampang dan nyaman banget kan? Asal berani
nyetop bis dan nanya sama supirnya, pasti dibolehin kok! bayarnya juga murah! ga lebih dari 10.000 lah sekali trip.
Semoga tips nya bermanfaat ya!
Selamat kerja!
Love,
Rach
Halo!

Apa kabar hehe
Kalo kenal aku, (gak ya? makanya kenalan. ga deng
hahahahahahha) sangat disayangkan, mataku minus (hiks). Dan daridulu aku adalah
pemakai setia kacamata maupun softlense. Yah, lebih sering softlense sih sejak
kuliah, karena lebih pede dan ga berat kaya kacamata. Biasanya aku pake
softlense yang dari melawai yang paling murah dan ga pernah macem macem. Tapi, ada
satu merk softlense yang udah lamaaa banget pengen beli tapi belum sempet beli
karena takut aneh dan ga cocok. Dan finally, aku punya cukup niat dan
keberanian dan kesempatan (softlense lama expired) buat nyobain softlense ini.
Softlensenya adalah Nobluk! Hahhahahah asli ketinggalan banget ya udah basi-_-
Ada yang bikin aku seneng dan ga terlalu seneng sama
softlense ini. Langsung aja yuk!
Product Description
Nobluk adalah salah satu merk
softlense BEST SELLER dari DreamColor. Kandungan air nya cukup rendah yaitu
42%. Terbuat dari lens 58% poly hem. Diameter
14.5-17.5mm. Lengkungan 8.6mm. tersedia dalam banyak warna, yang paling hits
adalah grey dan brown. Dan ini tuh gaada ring nya jadi kaya mata asli cakep
gitu kalo dilihat di foto. Harganya sepasang IDR 100,000. Plus dikasi softlense
case yang lucuu. Senang :D
My
thoughts
 |
| Nobluk Grey |
Seriously,
I was really excited ordering Nobluk Grey. I had been waiting for an
opportunity to buy it anyway. Dan pas nyampe langsung coba donggg. Secara
warna, oke banget secara independen asli. Disini aku ngomong independen karena
di kulitku ga oke, bikin mataku kurang pop. Walauuuu di foto keliatan oke. Apa
karena aku gapake riasan mata ya. Kesannya tuh lesuuu banget. Dan agak pucet.
No no. dan secara kenyamanan, aku kurang cocok karena bikin kering banget.
Sehari harus netes mata minimal dua kali.dan gampang bikin merah. Padahal aku
pake softlense new look dari melawai yang jauh lebih murah dari nobluk. Dan ga
pernah netes mata seharian hahahha. Jadi.. kurang suka huhu. Mungkin bakal
kupake kalo ada acara acara tertentu aja kali ya.
Plus
:
-
Warnanya
baguss natural
Minus
:
-
Ga cocok
di warna kulitku
-
Bikin
mata kering & agak iritasi
Rating
: 3/5
Repurchase
: No… mau coba yang lain sajah 😊

Hello girls!
I’ve been having crazy blackhead all of my life. And Let me
tell you this : I’ve found something that almost can be my game changer! Yoohoo!
Here’s my secret to a (fairly) fantastic skin : Cosrx BHA
Blackhead power liquid!
Sejak aku menggunakan ini, keliatan banget loh berkurangnya
komedo komedo di hidungku. Jadi super senang walau belum bisa terlalu ngilangin
semua, tapi udah bisa banyak membawa perubahan baik ke hidupku (lebay haha)
Product Description :
Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid
adalah chemical exfoliant larut minyak yang membersihkan kulit kulit mati dan
kotoran dari dalam pori untuk mencegah breakout. Dengan harga di online sekitar
IDR190.000, volumenya yang 100 ml bener bener awet banget loh. Botolnya pump
yang memudahkan kita buat ngeluarin produknya dengan rapid an bersih. Texturenya transaparant dan ringaaan banget
kaya pake air biasa tapi agak licin dikit gitu. Dari baunya, ga ada yang terlalu menyengat,
malah ga bau kok kalo ga iseng nyium nyium hahaha. Dan claimnya, COSRX BHA
Blackhead Power Liquid ini bekerja untuk menghaluskan dan membersihkan kulit
dari waktu ke waktu. Dan juga mencerahkan wajah untuk kulit yang lebih rata. Dan
ga kaya produk kebanyakan nih, dia diformulasikan dengan betaine salicylate
yang klaimnya lebih lembut disbanding salicylic acid yang biasa ditemuin di
produk produk BHA lain. Ohiya! Untuk daftar ingredientnya bisa dilihat di table
dari COSDNA dibawah ya!
See? Gaada hal yang terlalu berbahaya kalo menurut cosdna di
atas. But, is it fully safe? Wait a sec!
How to apply :
Pakenya gampaang banget. Bersihin
muka dulu (pake sabun atau cleanser as usual) lalu keringin dan pakai BHA
Blackhead Power Liquid ini. Cukup dua pump aja udah bisa mengcover seluruh
wajah. Kalo aku makenya ditunggu dulu 20-30 menit buat biarin si acid nya
ngeresep dan bekerja di kulit. Baru ditimpa sama skin care lain. Ohiya, Karena ini
adalah chemical exfoliant, JANGAN pakai ini tiap hari dan JANGAN dipakai
berbarengan dengan physical exfoliant seperti scrub. Karena bisa overexfoliate
oke oke? Dan overexfoliate tuh ga enak. nanti kulitnya merah merah dan iritasi,
malah bisa bikin makin jerawatan loh guys! Cukup pakai selang seling (sehari
pake sehari enggak) dan voila! Good to go!
Oh oh! Pakainya malam hari aja ya.
Karena dia exfoliant, sifatnya kan mengikis kulit ya, jadi bisa jadi bikin
kulit agak sensitive terutama kalau kena sinar matahari. Gamau kan kalo
kulitnya makin bermasalah (dan gosong)? Ehehe
Claims :
Oke, I’m going to give you a
brutal honest testimony. Produk ini mengklaim bahwa bisa menghilangkan komedo. Ya
dan tidak. Jadi, saat awal awal aku pake, literally baru banget make nih, yang
ada aku purging. Kenapa aku bisa bilang purging (dan bukan breakout)? Karena lokasinya
Cuma ditempat-tempat yang emang biasa jerawatan dan ga terlalu lama, Cuma dua
minggu. (tapi honestly, dua minggu yang sangat menyiksa dan membingungkan ini
tuh purging atau bukan). Be very careful ya girls! You MUST 100% sure that it
is purging and not you breaking out because your skin is sensitive or
incompatible to one of the chemical. Break out could last for months! Purging,
gak demikian. Kemungkinan besar kalo Cuma pakai produk produk yang bisa dibeli
bebas (bukan resep dokter atau keras), purging mungkin berlangsung paling lama
satu bulan Karena selama itu lah cycle kulit kita. Dan note bahwa exfoliant
atau produk yang bisa menyembuhkan jerawat dan kawan kawannya emang BISA banget
menimbulkan purge. Separah dan selama itu bener bener tergantung kondisi kulit
kita. Cuma Tuhan yang tahu. Haha -_-
BUT! After 2 weeks, keliatan
banget loh penyembuhannya. Jerawat jerawat purging nya ilang. Dan komedo komedo
ku mulai perlahan tidak keliahatan. Asli loh ini mah. Textur kulit kaya lebih
halus ga geradakan dan pori pori ku yang super gede jadi keliatan kecil Karena komedo
komedonya ga keliatan keliatan banget lagi. Senang! 😊
tapiii, perubahan itu terjadi di botol pertama saja. Saat aku repurchase botol
kedua, kaya ga keliatan lagi sih perbedaannya apa ☹
mungkin kulitku udah mulai terbiasa dan mem-badak haha
Overall : 4/5
Pros :
-
Ngilangin komedo
-
Texturnya ringan
-
Awet banget (di aku lebih dari 7 bulan)
-
Perbaikin textur muka
Cons :
-
Bikin purging
-
Cuma bisa dipesen online
Repurchase?
Aku udah repurchase kedua kali
sih… kalo ketiga kayanya mikir mikir dulu Karena kulit aku sudah tidak ngaruh
dipakein ini. haha
Semoga bermanfaat!

If you know me (probably
no haha), I’ve been having blackhead and whitehead issue since my elementary school
year. I know, crazy right? Maybe it wasn’t too severe but I just can’t. I
remember my nose turned brown due to scratched and teared up skin because I
squeezed the whitehead and blackhead with full force. Haha okay sorry it’s
gross and you shouldn’t do that (supposedly)
Well, bottom line is,
I’m annoyed so much and I’ve been looking for the best way to make em
disappear.
Eh okay, sorry, lets swith to Bahasa Indonesia ya!
Salah satu dari metode yang kucoba adalah dengan biore pore strip. Nah tapi banyak banget yang ngerasa ini ga seefektif itu. Ga ngangkat sebanyak itu. But i got the answer! At least, metode yang ku pakai cukup ampuh di aku buat angkat komedo.
First of all, personally aku ngerasa kalo biore pore strip ini tiap variannya beda keampuhannya. Dan menurut aku, yang paling juara adalah varian charcoal yang warna hitam. Tapi bisa aja karena sugesti soalnya kan komedo warna putih jadi kalo di varian lain yang warna putih ga terlalu kelihatan. Haha
Oke, jadi biore pore strip ini hasilnya juga langsung kerasa, KALAU kita bisa gunain dengan benar.
Entah kenapa, dulu hasil yang aku dapetin (komedo yang keangkat) kurang
memuaskan a.k.a terlalu sedikit compared to visible blackheads yang kerasa di
hidung. Nah sebenernya aku punya tips and trick kalau mau pake biore pore strip
ini which is :
-
Scrub dulu
mukanya. Terutama di bagian hidung. Merk bebas asal ga usah terlalu keras yaa
man teman. Pastiin kulit matinya udah keangkat.
-
Pake clay
mask. Ini lumayan ngebantu buat narik si sebum ke permukaan dan ngelembekin
komedo komedonya
-
Basahin wajah
dan temple si biore pore strip
-
Keringin. Harus
kering yaaa kalau ga sayang porestripnya mahal hahhahah. Anyway kalau aku suka
diem depan kipas sampe setengah kering terus baru bobo bobo di Kasur sambal nunggu
fully kering
-
Cabut dengan
gerakan dari bawah ke atas. Inget : dari bawah ke atas ya!
Voila! Kalau buat aku personally cara di atas ampuh banget buat ngangkat
komedo buanyak. Ehehheheh terus jadi puas tapi geli gitu sih kalo orang lain
liat haha
Perks :
-
Instant
results
-
Kepuasan pribadi
- Banyak komedo terangkat
Negative :
-
Should be
used under proper treatment
-
Agak agak
pricey haha
-
Komedo balik
lagi
-
Cuma ngangkat
di permukaan
-
Some says
that, pore strip ruins and enlarges your pores
BABAY!
luv,
