WEIGHT management

Hello my dearest subscribers of my blog. THE LONG AWAITED IS FINALLY OVER. Firstly, my apologize for being away for quite a while. I finished my very last exam last week (horrayyy!!!!) and now I could take one step back in a way that I could be more relaxed and pretty much enjoying what Spring has got to offer.

Well, some of you might loose weight during exam, but particularly for me, I pilled up some. I was snacking around just to calm down my nerve and worse, I did it more than I could ever remember. I always know I should not have done it but well, as it is always said, flesh is weak. My weight rose up to 61! That was quite a record for me.

I was meant to be fat. I spent most of my time overweighted, but not until I decided to change my own fate. There was time when I looked on myself in the mirror and complained how I could be just as ugly with all those chubby cheeks and swollen belly around :( especially during those days, as we all hit puberty, we want to be attractive and in a stage where we would like to define ourself. Some of us might suffered from personality crisis, in which we didn't feel comfortable of what we were.

As you all expected, I am not satisfied with myself that I was so determined to be what I viewed as an 'ideal me'. I commited to be on diet, reducing the portion of all my meals, not having to eat rice and fatty foods, and withstand myself from snacking around. I tell you, there were lots of pain but it's worth it. I started out with around 63kgs and stopped at 54kgs. After all, I felt so much better and that was one of the best decision I had ever made that changed my life forever.

Too bad I couldn't find my old photos when I was such in a shape of a baloon. But well, for some of you who have been together with me as we grow up together, know exactly how my weight fluctuates throughout the times. But eventhough I am getting fatter nowadays, it still cannot match the fat boy I used to see in the mirror 5 years ago. I am not ashamed to what I was, but definetely, being in a better shape is much better, embracing the future with holding much more confidence in hand.

The road was not always smooth though. There were times when I was just so tempted to give up and accept the fact that I was meant to be fat. There were also times when I stopped at a certain weight and diet was not enough. I almost suffered to what is called bulimia when I forced myself to puke. It was definetely a mistake. The more I puke, the more dependant I am to puking in order to loose some weight. So, no way I'm gonna puke forever.

As a matter of fact, I gradually began to realize a better approach of controlling my weight. It is not quantity that matters, but quality. I started to consume fruits, more vegies (which I barely ate before), and drink more water isntead of sugary stuff. The result may not be as dramatic in the short run, but the effect on long run surprises me.

                               

              

                 

How my weight fluctuates throughout the time

(the bottom one is the 'ideal me' in my perspective)

I don't encourage you guys to follow my tips. Each person has his own approach of dealing with weight control. What works for me might not work for you. Experimentize yourself !! Mix and match what you understand and see if that works for you. One thing that I want to emphasize here is to never ever torture youself with just having lettuce and drink water or whatever method that seemed to harm you. Our body still needs the energy and nutrition from food. It's totally OK to reduce weight for the sake of health (and in some cases appereances) as long as you know the exit point. Here's the sign, if you were kind of about to be in the air already, then it is the time to stop to reduce your weight, really.

Cheers,

Waktu

Seberapa sering kita berpikir mengenai waktu?

Ketika waktu datang mengetuk, kita berkata "tidak, nanti dulu"

Namun ketika waktu berkata tidak, kita berkata "tolong"

 

Alangkah indahnya bila waktu bagai langit

dan aku bagai burung yang melintasi tanpa banyak bicara,

namun yakin akan selalu bersama..

What if !

Now that we are approaching the end of semester, I begin to ponder deep down on how fast time runs, really.It felt just like yesterday when I first stepped in this country, feeling like a stranger and here I am now, standing at the edge of my life journey in Melbourne. I'm thinking about my future. Two words to describe: uncertain and nerve-racking, I have yet to choose which path I will be heading to. I always try to look for the best option available. In this case, I also made back-up plan.

So, this happened to be a classical dilemma, choosing among alternatives. I still remember clearly when I got to choose where I have to study after graduating high school. It is not easy, yet I managed.This thought brought me to a question.
What would happen if I had not set foot as a student in this country?

I began imagining myself in Indonesia, probably taking engineering degree and would not have graduated by the end of this year. Would I have spoken English fluently? Don't think so. Would I ever experience the joy of self-making money? Not necessarily.
I even doubt this blog would have existed!

I am pretty sure I am still clinging onto my parents by now, crying like a baby when they don't answer to my wishes. There is no chance that I enjoy high degree of freedom like what I have here. Not that I don't like living with my parents, but the thought of living under the same roof in this stage just creeping me out. My parents would always ask me where I go, with whom, and worse, I need to beg for money that is just enough to dine casually and do 1 hour of karaoke on weekends.
and the place that I most likely to go would be.... *drumroll*

 PARAGON!!! sadly, this is the only best spot we have back in my hometown.

I would still encircled with my high school best friends. Even I am being in Melbourne today, we are still best friends anyway despite being scattered all over the place.

I would probably shouting around with my sister scrambling for a computer. Then, do another swearing on how slow the internet connection is. Wait! Maybe I don't even know how fast internet connection could be. Next thing, I would post a facebook status with rafferty vocab and poor grammar like what some people do, mistaken "bored" with "boring" as in I'm boring?!? and literally translate indonesian to english word by word without making sure they use the correct grammar. Hello! If you don't feel like good in english, just don't post anything in english, really.

There would still be chance for me to feel the joy of having someone prepare my everything, making up my sheets and do my laundry. I would not have cooked this much and would not have gained this much weight. My life could have been easier and not much to think about.

I would probably think caucasian girls are smoking hot as it is not scene I would see everyday. Here, you point any girls you want: Caucasians, Korean, Chinese, Japanese, and so forth, simply because Australia is a melting pot for many many cultures and nationality. Now, I am just use to it and those foreign girls are not as mind-blewing any longer.

Well, coming to this country was certainly a huge step for me.
Now, how my next huge step will be like? fingers crossed.

The Power of Make-Up

From time to time I ask myself what makes all that sparkling glamourous celebrities look so fresh when photographed. Of course,aside from photoshop, Aren’t they just like us?
How do they look when waking up in the morning?

Those celebrities are very much like you and me. I tell you.

Here's the thing.  MAKE UP makes all things possible.

Living under the same roof with a woman who spends lots of time in front of the mirror, I know exactly how make up can make u look like a princess and even uglify yourself. I thank God that I was raised by a mother who realize the importance of make up, eventhough she never actually taught me to wear them, apart from the fact that I am a boy. Back then, I complained a lot about the amount of time she needed to do her make up. I was like "Mom, why do you have to wear a make up? It's tiring for me to wait you here!"
I vividly remember her innocence reply. "Don't you want your mom to be beautiful?"
O yes, that simple answer struck me at the first place, really. A lot of pretty woman out there choose to be natural and like taking care of her skin and let it glow naturally, refusing to wear make up. I don't say that's totally wrong. But hey, wait a sec! Check this out

Without make up, who is she? Just a girl next door, really.
But make up makes her Rihanna, the singer as we know it. Make sense right?
Make up does make a difference.

Moreover, boys do notice make up. We can tell when you have one or not. Sometimes we act like we don't notice and care, but a girl with make up, of course on a right amount, will certainly look more presentable and attractive. Personally I object those girls who wear tons of make up. But as I said, if make up will boost your confidence, why not? FYI, there is actually something that is called nude make up that makes you look natural even with make up on.

My Friends

I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about MY FRIENDS. I dedicate this post to all my friends in whom I have been close to, counting those whom I dont really like but engage closely in my live in any ways.

Well, the idea of writing this post hit me when I was first annoyed with the behavior of a friend. Long story short, I began thinking of how friends could significantly affect my life. Some are fun, some are annoying, some are creepy, some are weird, but believe me or not, these weirdnesses is just what make them really fun befriended with and make my life more interesting.

Anyway, I promised to a friend of mine who gave a lot of support of me writing this blog, to write a post entitled MY FRIENDS. I feel today is a good time to write about them, but in a totally different approach! Blind-gossipping ! So, this is how it works: I will pick 8 random personalities in which I consider interesting, anonymously. Keep in mind that these are based on my point of view, and may not be totally right.
P.S: 1 of those might be me!

•  Let me start with 'this' guy.We are in very close proximity, yet we are no close as in reality, really.  This guy is warm, gentle, and cannot live without girls. Not because he is popular as in girls like him as a guy, but his personality just right enough for enganging with girls. Personally I strongly felt we have a lot of common and this fact leads us to some sort of cold 'competition'. He talks a lot of things and you will never run out of topic when it comes talking to him. Here's the downside: he does not consider the interest of others. Conversation could get really boring to a point where you just end up saying 'yes', or 'aha, ure rite!'. 

•  I always thought she is a nice girl to hang out with. She is totally fun, loves to joke, a good listener and supporter, and that I would call her my mentor. I chat with her a lot, I tell you, almost every minute, even just asking for repetitive question and unnecessary expression like zzzzzzzzz or brrrrrr. I managed to know her back when I was still in high school. She demands a guy at this very moment, simply just to drive her brand new car whilst she starring at him with her tiny straight-lined eye. lol

•  When you actually first met her, from her physical aspect, you could tell she is lovable. Indeed she is! She never yelled at people, as far as I know (she's been my friend since forever!). She always get bullied around by her close friends (count me in and just imagine how evil we are) but never gets angry. This girl is the most loving and patient girl I have ever known. She beamed with happiness and excitement. Sure I have seen her mad, but even his mad face made me chuckle a little. The thought of making her unhappy really saddened me.  

•  Translator device! Thats what she think of me as. Everytime I wake up I could easily spot her in my BBM chat lists. Reason? She wanted me to translate her feeling to the english version, just because she wants to look cool on twitter, ha! I like her though she ditched me once for a particular reason. I know she did it not on purpose to hurt me, but what really matters, at the end we made it through and survive befriended. p.s: she runs an online shop on which I often made fun of her shop.    

• I was hoping I'll end up with this girl. Past tense, keep that in mind! haha. So, I used to have crush on this girl.  She looks okay and harmless. Cheerful is her forte. But who knows deep down inside as she like to sugar-coat something. She does not know what she's actually capable of and if she keeps up what she is doing rite now, I am not surprised she'd be successful in the future. 

• This guy is really shy and very hard to understand. To be exact, I don't really know much about him. We seemed close, but as a matter of fact, we don't. He always point the conversation topic to me or our mutual friends. He often acts busy which in fact he's not! I would say he is smart but not as smart as he would have think about himself, really. 

• Call him Mr. Sensitive. He always over-thinks on small matters. He is very insecure and couldn't hold on a solid ground by himself. Yet, he filled himself with fun. He seemed like having a lot of friends. But are all of them going to be there when he needed one? Dont think so. Despite having a smiley exterior, he's so fragile inside. He has his own way of approaching something. His way is always weird but interestingly, he always make it work in the end. People label him as a weakling, but he is actually really street smart. You would not believe what he can do, especially in cooking. 

• This girl is very cool and all, but she doesn't watch what she says. I have seen people get really angry at her, I doubt she realized it though. She appears to be very difficult, when it's actually not at all. After all, she is the craziest of my craziest friends. She is my partner in crime, I think. She is a shoulder to lean on and someone that I could talk to. She is really straighforward and sometimes it is confusing, to place her as a girl or a guy because she's somewhere in between! lol

• She is funny, quite tricky sometimes in the sense of we don't really know what she's up to. She is the most caring girl in my particular community here in Melbourne. She would not go out unless she appear sexy enough (based on her point of few). One cold day during winter, she managed to wear short skirt and light jacket only, in order to tell the world her curvy figure. hahaha. She desperately seeks for love these days and looks God forward to write her love story. lol 

Nah, those are personalities of my friends that are around me these days. No offense, I didn't try to judge them and as I said, I would not reveal publicly who they are. Take a guess and tell me if you got it right. =)
Above all, I would say, I am so lucky to have you guys filling my life. Otherwise, our planet earth would be a such lonely planet to live in..

Winter break

Yes, this July is obviously my favourite month this semester so far. At least I have 3 reasons why.  I finish my exam. yayyyy! that means winter holiday was just around the corner. The next best part is that I was going on a Australia-wide tour, visiting 3 cities, each in different states: Goldcoast, Sydney, and Adelaide. But holiday won't be as exciting without great companion. My best friends were coming along with me. I also made new friends. Holiday, great destinations, and great friends, I certainly couldn't ask for more.  

I do travelling a lot. The fact that I am still in college and have the opportunity to travel with a group of friends is what makes traveling so much more fun. I have traveled with a lot of different friends, and I always learnt something new from them after the trip is over. I also believe that by traveling together, it will make you grow closer to each other.

Well, I had a high expectation on this trip as I know this was going to be a nice one. Yet, I am totally wrong.
It was just a perfect holiday and obviosuly going to be a trip to remember for the rest of my life.
 

Goldcoast is my first destination. I have been there three times and yet still falling in love with the holiday ambience and excitement on its themeparks. Tell me about it! I jumped on all thrilling rides and felt just great!
After spending three days there, we flew down to Sydney. This great city has almost everything to offer: breathtaking harbor view, yummy foods and not to mention the exciting city area. I just couldn't help but crying my heart out loud "Why I chose Melbourne instead of Sydney?"

The last leg of the tour was Adelaide. Were Sydney a bitchy downtown girl, then Adelaide would be just a plain, countryside girl with all her purities. I love the quiet environment and the way Adelaidean live in which they operate in a slower pace than any Australian cities I have been to. The highlight of going to Adelaide was relaxing.

Holidays are always too short though. It always come to an end at some point and there is always time to back to reality. New semester is coming on, and I got to be more aware. Of what? My bank account. I looked on my balance and got to agree to a quote that says money is running like water.

In order to make my bank balance look 'healthy' again, I decided to cut up some expenses. That happened to be my eating-outs. But it will soon change. Watch my word guys: The only time I am allowed to eat out is only at weekends, at least until the end of August. This fact also leads me in a way so that my body can be back on shape. Dried bank accounts, and blewing me! Total disaster! 

I guess, I let you guys know how the progress go and hopefully, my bank account and me, can be back on its appropriate shape. I got my fingers crossed. hihihihi

IT WAS OFFICIAL!

The royal wedding may passed already, but I am still suffering from the fever even up to this really second. 

It's been a while since Britain had the empire on which the sun never set. This time, the empire strikes back, putting on a show of pomp and pageantry unrivalled in the world! Yeah, many people dubbed the event as the wedding of the century. It was true somehow. Two billions watchers across the globe, people!

For me personally, I did not want to left behind. I want to be part of the history watching Prince William and Kate Middleton finally tied their knot. Moreover, the next big event might happen in another 30 years more (or even won't happen again! The time has come near guys. haha. *scared myself*) 

Since the wedding was announced, I had planned to watch it on the first place. It was like a dream comes true when suddenly I got an invitation from the Prince himself. aww :( overjoyed and touched at the same time! and I am going to share my experience of a lifetime attending the wedding.. 

What makes this wedding so special to me then?

I have been a fan of royal family and managed to keep update about their news and gossip. 

But this time, It was somewhat like a fairytale wedding. A royal blood married with a commoner isn't scene that you see daily or say, yearly, rite? 

I am pretty sure Kate Middleton might wondered to be a princess when she was just a girl, never thought that I turned out real now. Happy for her!

The royal wedding, basically, never meant to be ordinary: the guests, ambience & euphoria and particularly the wedding gown, have to be something people will remember. 

They have managed those so well. I love the gown. I also like the fact that she did not disclose the design until the moment she stepped down into the aisle. 

However, I asked my friends about the gown and they all said "It was too simplistic and did not reflect any royal princess wedding gown"

But let me tell you, all high profile designers (namely: Dior and Chanel) agreed with me.haha! 

*I am now a certified fashionista* Modest but at the same time so elegant, so English and perfectly fits her. 

and I am so sure this gown will be the trend for upcoming years.

I was sitting next to David and Victoria Beckham. David wore Ralph Lauren suits from top to toe, while Victoria managed to wear her own label VB in form of maternity rope. I should say that Victoria did look more like coming to a funeral rather than a wedding as she appears in full dark navy. but her Christian Louboutin shoes definetely caught my attention. Check this out

Cheers,

Joshua

Hello there! I cant believe it has been actually more than 2 weeks since I wrote my last post. Time does really fly huh? Anyway, thanks for those who couldn't really put their nerves down just to wait my new post. I am really thrilled to write this down in the middle of assignment hurdle. These past few weeks just gave me a lot of stress. I got 2 mid exams and 1 presentation in a group of 3 (in which turned out one of my group member didn't showed up). Thanks God everything happened just fine and now I can relax, sit down and share my thoughts for u. He is good indeed =) ha..ha..ha..(evil laugh) loh?

This post will be about .. my spiritual life

SHOCKED? You better be! It sounds so random and actually my first time writing and tell the world openly about this.

Never once I plan about writing spiritual things in this blog. but well this topic just popped out from my mind right away. This is interesting though, considering many of you don't really know about this. 

1. What brought me to Jesus? The obvious answer is my mom! She put my 11 year old self in a youth service and afterwards, I began developing my personal relationship with Him.

2. My spiritual life is filled up with UPs and (I got to admit) MANY MANY DOWNs (as u expected). there are those times when all I wanted to do is just to ran away from Him. He seems like far away when I needed the most. 

but let me tell you. He never been as close! 

Whenever I try to give up on Him, an inner voice of mine (which I believe is the Holy Spirit) tells me to stay still because the best is yet to come. 

and here I am know, still keeping my faith on Him, just because of His goodness. His promise is so real "to catch me even before I fall". 

Lately, I consider myself in the low level of spiritual life. Definitely needed a booster. I know I did things against His will, didn't pray much and skip reading the bible. I keep questioning if He keeps loving me for all those circumstances. But again, He showed me how He still cares for my life. He blessed me and my family in many ways , in which, never crossed in my thought before. For now, I can say that life's good. But guysss, please remind me to this post when I argue about my life in the future somehow! haha

I want to grow more as I know I am still a baby (in context of spiritual life), but a teenager (in actual life). How imbalance is that ha???

One more thing, I secretly wish this in my prayer:

1. That 이 승기 will eventually believe in Him, so that we can strengthen each other and growing together as brothers in Christ (haha! this is my cell group's anthem)..
2. That "someone" (u guys know who) is my perfect match I have been longing for! In bahasa, I keep it as simple as "kalau jodo dekatkanlah, kalau tidak, jodokanlah Ya Tuhan". (seriously!)

just yesterday I feel so blessed with this song. I hope you guys like it as well. I think it has the best wording ever, especially the first paragraph. 

"DI HATI-MU TERUKIR NAMAKU

DI MATA-MU TERLUKIS WAJAHKU

BUKAN KAR’NA KUAT GAGAHKU

NAMUN HANYA KAR’NA KEMURAHAN-MU"

GOD BLESS YOU ALL~

nineteen 19

What happen with 19 ?
I am turning 19 in a few couple of hours and really feel the pressure is on. It is so true that time flies. I felt just yesterday I turned 18 and it was actually a year ago. My mind brought me to my birthday last year.Everyone pretended not to remember my birthday and I thought it was going to be a pathetic birthday. But well, it turned out that it was a memorable birthday, well-prepared surprised, and going to be a night to remember.

I feel bad now not to mention my other memorable birthdays with my parents and friend. But trust me! You're all the best and I am not going to forget each birthday I've been through.

I guess, happy birthday to myself (so I will be the first one)

This year will be my last year as a teenager and I promise to make the most of it! Accordingly, this year will be the year I will be graduating as well and probably my last year as a student. I made some list of wishes and resolution this year and I pray that they will all come true!

1. Get closer to and please Him in any ways
2. Being a great blessing for parents and friends (as they have been great blessing for all these times)
3. Success in everything I do
4. and.. become a world class billionaire

and these are the less serious note

5. Travelling around Australia (not to mention Alicesprings and Great Barrier Reef)
6. Find a casual business-related employment
7. Getting taller by a few more inches
8. Meet my favourite celebrity as a mentioned before ( LSG! o yeah!)
9. and to get picture of my future (seriously, I have no idea up until now)
10.
11.
12.
...

and the forte for this year will be : LIFE IS FULL OF SURPRISES. That's the reason I left no 10, 11, 12, and so on intentionally blank! I want my 19 to be fun and filled up with exciting surprises.

Well, let's see what 19 has in store for me. Have a good time guys :)

MAGICAL EFFECT

Well, this might sound so random. But this time, I would like to share something relates to the beauty & body care product. I called it "the" product because it is somewhat memorable yet magical to me! (Real testimony, and this particular product might have to pay me someday). and the name of the product is ... 

BB CREAM ..

I know and I fully aware this sounds crazy. A boy using BB cream? What the ****  is in his mind??

Before you judge, let me explain to you the product feature. 

Blemish Balm Cream or as we know as BB cream is among Asia's hottest products right now. Originally formulated in Germany and was initially used by dermatologist to help laser surgery patients refine their skin. It gained a huge success and widely used in Asia, particularly in South Korea, Japan, Hong Kong, and such. Now, the improved formula is said to have skin whitening, brightening, anti acne, anti wrinke, and anything you can mention! Sometimes also used as light foundation. Many cosmetics brand now bring BB cream as their pledge product, namely Etude House, Misscha, and so on. 

Nahh, get the picture now? 

It is not as impressive as the name might seem. Just an ordinary product and normal feature upbringings. 

What really tickle me to write this post, is the effect of using it. After quite a while,  I started to see changes! 

Changes may vary from people to people. For me, its is somewhat MAGICAL. 

Have you watched beauty and the beast? or heard the story of a ugly duckling that turned to a swan?

That's the kind of effect I'm talking about! 

It turned me from nobody to somebody everyone is talking about! The effect affects my daily routines and ultimately my live in many ways. My skin looks naturally flawless. I feel 300% more confident and able to held my head up high :) and now girls are going crazy for me. 

NO, that was not my purpose of using it, but seriously, I will consider that as a weapon to attract girls somehow. haha

Those are some of the joy of wearing BB cream. Before I forgot, these are before&after photos of me! spot the difference! 

BEFORE

AFTER

FYI, I use this particular product: THE SAEM BB cream for male. Happy shopping sistaaa :)

opposite sex attraction

Lately, it is pretty hard for me to find an interesting topic to share to you guys. Not because I am lacking of ideas, but I am afraid that topic just simply won't attract your attention. It made me wondered then, How to be attractive? (especially to attract the girls or guys that you like in particular, haha)

When I'm talking about this, it does not mean I am an expert or whatever you call it. Let me get this clear: I NEVER DATED SOMEONE, so this is not based on my personal experience. But rather, this is somewhat a summary from what i read or heard about the art of seducing your opposite sex and how to tell that they interested in you. For guys, this is a common thing. But girls? Please don't lie girls. I know you wondered as much as guys do. How to attract your opposite sex for the very first move and without saying a word.

Research found out that making eye contact is a powerful weapon! seriously, not just to attract the one you like, but apparently everyone! For guys, this is a very scoring first step. Most guys went wrong here, there's no way you can attract girls just by staring at her breast or legs :( but a quick glimpse may do hahaha!

Secondly,  throwing smiles is a sure way to get the chemistry going. Remember! One smile means more than a thousand word. Not necessarily tell him or her that you are interested, but apparently, make them curious about you. They will try to figure out what's behind that smile and. Monalisa smile is a good one. Each person comes up with each different interpretation, some says she was hiding the sadness behind the smile but the others say its just an empty smile. BE MYSTERIOUS (what my friend said! you know who you are haha)

For guys: And How to Tell That She's Interested ..

You'll know immediately if a girl's interested. She'll look straight back, then turn away, and perhaps smile. If she looked you in a steely glare it's probably not going to happen. It's the turning away that tells you that something is going on.

There are other signs you should look for too. If she plays with her hair or jewellery , adjusts her clothing or breathes in (to show you how slim she is!), that might mean something. They say that she's interested in your approach, and she's trying to look her best for you. Body language tells it all!

In a more extreme way, just try to do a facebook/twitter stalk on her. Girl will suddenly become lovecentric and often post love-related note or status when they feel like giving signal to you :( Sad, i never have one. hahaha

For girls: and How to Tell that He's interested

Guys, I know this sounds like a betrayal, but let me share our dirty little secret. A guy would be looking at you by any chance, and always put effort in his appereance whenever he is around you.

In any chance, he will try to have conversation and just having time together with you. But girls, I know you have some sort of natural knowledge, called INTUITION. Your intuition is much stronger than guys. You can feel the vibe and tell immediately if a guy is interested to you.

TOO BAD I never had my own personal experience. But I promise myself, SOON, i repeat, VERY SOON, I will write down my own personal experience and tips as well as showing the world how awesome my girlfriend is. I promise! =)

My Favourite Celebrity

Ermm, lately I am falling in love with Korean entertainment, including dramas, movies, songs, and such. I love something that sounds korean in general, but suddenly i feel so attached with this particular person. Now I would like to dedicate a post for this person in whom is my favourite Korean celebrity. The name is ... *drumroll background song*  ... LEE SEUNG GI !!! (as you all expected). Yes, the lead actor of Gumiho and yes, the guy you often see in commercials .hahaha

Without even I tell u who he is, I know you would bet him! Now, the question is why I ended up being his fan? and why should him? Aren't I supposed to be a fan of SNSD or other beautiful celebrity?

OKAY!  Hold on that thought! I know you guys would think I am a ***. But, here's some fact you need to consider.

1. Girls can be a fan of other girl celebs, but why guys cannot.. Where is the justice people?? hahaha
2. I am a fan of him, not because I adore him as a male or what. But instead, it is more like INSPIRED. There is clear difference in being inspired and getting crazy with.
3. He is such a good role model.  Good and extremely busy singer, actor, MC, endorsers Yet, he maintained a good achievement at school!

I know a lot of you would say "There are bunch of other celebrities which are actually better than he do" or maybe "What is in your mind for being a fan of him".  But I think he is really worth to be inspired in. Really. Firstly, he has a nice voice, good personality, and down to earth life style (as what I read in articles) for his class.
Next, I love his styling. Not to much (like this),not to chocky (like this), and not too much blink-that might get you blind. Instead, he always put everything together in simple and nice way. I also like the fact that he is so friendly and always smile in front of the camera. Not to mention his favourite to wear a hat like this

and this 

LAUGH ALL YOU CAN! ~ but really, i know we have a lot in common. More like.. ermm. brother n sis-- i mean brothers !

O yeah, FYI i like this and  this for his commercial and MV respectively. I hope some day I can come to his concert and see him singing in person. :)

My Introduction

THERE'S NOTHIN LIKE JOSHUA..

Some of you may have aware that is my title for this personal blog, but wonder how i could come up with this title. Originally, it is the slogan to promote Australian tourism. There's nothing like Australia, which in bahasa means Australia Tiada Duanya. I was kinda inspired with this slogan somehow and decided to apply it as my blog title. But, this is not I am going to discuss in this post. I am going to introduce myself quite briefly since not everyone who read this blog is acquainted with me. Now, raise your hand if you have known me for quite a while, let's say 2 years?

Well, the first post may give you slight insight about who i am, rite? I am a boy, 18 years old, and a thinker.
My full name is Kwik Joshua Sanjaya Adrianto. Kwik is my family and my nickname, while Joshua is the name in which people supposed to call me with. However, I don't know since when my friends started nicknaming my family name. I am currently resides in Melbourne to study and quite enjoying myself here, although there are those times when I really really wanted to go home. I study business and hit third year of my study.

Now, referring back to the first paragraph. Why I named my blog with Joshua Tiada Duanya? It is because I consider my self quite a unique person, one of a kind, or whatever you call it! This is true in some extent. Many of my friends told me "Hey, I have never met someone like you!" or "How come there is such a person like you do". However, when you ask me what is unique and interesting about myself, I got to admit

I certainly have no idea!  

Once during ice breaker session in tutorial class, I said "I come from Indonesia". But is it that cool?? There are dozens of Indonesian students study here as well, and apparently, this is not counted as something unique anymore. I wish I could say that I have travelled to all six continents, or I can speak in English, Spanish, French, as well as Korean. Or even something so spectacular, like, I have been to the moon!

Guess, I need to find one though. If you guys know what it is, do not hesitate to tell me, k? I am glad to hear from you :)

My First Post

Hello all, this is my newest (and basically my only) post in this blog. Some of you might wonder why I start to write down my own blog. First of all, I started to realize that I have a lot of things in my mind. Some of you who has been close to me for years might realize that I am such a thinker. I think basically EVERYTHING and when i say EVERYTHING, it really means everything, from important stuffs to a quirky ones. Eventually, I ended up confused. Judge me all you can, but hey!! wait a minute! Thinking is the best way to preserve our memory and improves our brain capacity, see? haha..

The point of telling you guys this is that I also want to share my thoughts and imagination. Sometimes my thoughts bring me to place I have never been before. I remember back then when I imagine if I were a princess prince back in Indonesia. Or if I were son of Hollywood celebrities, how fun would that be huh?!?
But well, this is me. I got to admit I am neither a prince nor a son of famous people out there. Just a plain 18 year old boy born and grow up in a small city in Indonesia.

Hmm I think thats all for now. I really hope you guys enjoy my post and support me to write even better :) O yeah, dont forget to leave comment
