1. Giggle Box Café and Resto (Jl. Progo no. 33 Riau, Bandung)

My rating (8 from 10)

Are you looking for cute vintage café with a zuper delicious food with not a very high-cost price? Here is a place.

Well, are you happy with an English post? If you,re not, I will tell you in Indonesian now, hehehe.

Giggle Box punya banyak cabang di Bandung, salah tiganya ada di Cihampelas Walk, Setiabudhi, dan di Jl. Progo, and I went to Jl. Progo by any chance.

Ketika masuk, kita akan tersihir dengan suasana café yang hommy dan vintage. Lampu-lampunya berwarna kuning, dan jelas itu membuat kita kalau difoto lebih cantik hehehe. Suasana di Giggle Box juga bisa dibilang romantic sih, because… ada lilin kecil yang cantik sekali yang menghiasi tiap meja.

As you know, waiter disini kasep pisan lah. Ngga Cuma disini aja sih, rata-rata waiter café di Bandung itu kasep-kasep—err don’t you know the meaning? Ganteng atuh—.

Waktu itu aku pesan Caramel Frappe dan Chicken Cordon Bleu. Duh yang namanya Frappe itu emang enak sih ya, tapi ini enak parah! Creamnya juga ngga bikin enek, malah bikin nagih! Sumpah! *oke agak too much* rasa coffee di caramelnya juga pas deh. Jempol! Buat cordon bleunya juga delicious parah! Selain pesan itu, teman-temanku juga pesan food and beverage yang lain dong, biar variatif. Actually, I want to tell you about the name, but it’s too hard you know to spell the name of the food. There was one named chicken writszand…something lah, pokoknya namanya susah buat ditulis maupun diucapkan hehehe *ngeles ajasih.

Secara keseluruhan, Giggle Box (for me ya) worth it to try! Untuk kalian yang suka sama hal yang berbau vintage dan makanan yang kebule-bule an hahaha you have to try this! Range harga makanan pun dari 30k sampai 50k, standar untuk café sekelas ini.

Hello, Again!

Hello fellas! It has been a… since my last post. Actually I was verrrryyy busy to blog, hm or I don’t have any internet access now to blog actually.

Well, this is my journal, so I can tell everything I want, right? So from now on, I want to share about café and resto in my current city live, Bandung.

As we know, Bandung is a food heaven on earth. Bandung is a great place to do ‘wisata kuliner’. I agree, because therea are soooo many café and resto that ‘menjual suasana’ with delicious food, absolutely. For your information, I won’t only tell about the ‘high-cost’ café and resto, but also  low-cost café. Sooo, please looking forward to my post soon, okay?

Cupmuah!

Segalanya Dimulai dari Sabar

Kutatap langit di atas. Ini sudah dua tahun semenjak hari itu. Tapi aku tak pernah lelah untuk menunggunya. Menunggunya untuk kembali pulang dan melamarku.

“bila kamu kejar citamu, maka cinta akan turut serta bersamamu. Tak perlu dicari, pasti menghampiri. Tapi saat kau cari cinta itu, ia hanya akan menghindar dan mempersulit hidupmu. Berapa banyak kesempatan, waktu, harta, bahkan nyawa yang hilang sia-sia karena cinta dunia yang sesaat? Bila kau kejar cita, akhirat, dan mencari keberkahan hidup, maka dunia akan ikut menyertaimu dan sebaliknya.”

Untaian kalimat itu masih terngiang jelas di pikiranku. Semua terasa seperti sepotong kaset yang terus di-rewind sampai track 1. Bahkan aku masih mengingat pakaian apa yang dikenakannya, air wajahnya saat mengucapkannya, dan semuanya. Semua tentang dia, aku ingat.

“I’m asking you to be my wife, and no, not now. Later, few years later.”

“are we bound?”

“no, you can make any relationship with anyone, any man, and so do I, but right in this date 5 years later, you’ll be my wife and I’ll be your husband.”

Aku tak bisa mendeskripsikan perasaanku saat itu. Antara senang dan sedih. Kenapa harus sekarang? Ketika kita telah lulus SMA dan akan melanjutkan studi kita masing-masing di tempat yang berbeda, bahkan di negara yang berbeda.

Namun disinilah aku berada. Bersama Adam yang lain, yang siap menjagaku sampai ia kembali. Dan oh tentu tidak, Adam yang lain ini tidak mengetahui apapun soal ia yang kutunggu. Aku juga tidak memanfaatkannya untuk menjagaku saja, justru kepadanyalah aku belajar, belajar sabar. Karena sesungguhnya sabar adalah hal yang mudah diucapkan tapi berat untuk dilaksanakan. Sabar untuk terus bersamanya sampai selesai kewajibannya. Oleh karena itu, sabar, sabarlah aku, untuk sementara dan tak akan selamanya, karena kutahu yang sesungguhnya aku cinta dan mencintaiku, dia yang kutunggu.

 “halo? I-radio?—aku mau request lagu ya—Sabar by Afgan—thank you.“

“hope you listen, dear.”

Welcome back, visitors!

Wowww it's been verrryy long time no blog, I mean, it has already been 3 or 4 months since my last post. I've passed the looong holiday on July 'til early of September, no no I won't tell you about my flat or terrible holiday *actually I would go to Jogja at first but my Dad canceled it-___-* hmm I miss blogging so much, so freakin' much.
So, with this post, I declarate that I re-active my blog post. Yuhuuuu!

Jauh

Besok hari terkahir kuliah di semester 2........
Satu tahun ini terasa cepat, dan aku merasa kita jauh padahal jarak kita dekat. Hish:")
Btw, playlist lagu yang paling cocok untuk malam ini, sambil melepaskan kenangan bersama-sama ikom H dan kamu selama satu tahun ini:

Jauh

Afgan 

Entah harus berapa lama lagi
Rasa ini kupendam sendiri
Rasa cintaku pada dirimu

Entah harus berapa lagu lagi
Yang kutulis agar kau mengerti
Rasa cinta di hati ini
Yang tumbuh hanya untuk dirimu

Kau jauh… 
Mengapa t’rasa begitu jauh
Padahal kau ada di depanku
Tersenyum kepadaku
Tapi tetap terasa jauh

Setiap kali kutatap dirimu
Kau buat ku sadar akan sesuatu
Kalau bayang diri ini
Tak pernah ada di kedua matamu

Ku mencoba
Selalu kumencoba
Tapi semuanya sia-sia

Kau terasa begitu jauh
Padahal kau ada didepanku
Tersenyum kepadaku
Tapi tetap terasa jauh

XOXO,
Farah, Cuphiks!

Indonesia Hijab Festival 2013

From Thursday to Sunday (30 May-02 June 2013), Hijabers Community held "Indonesia Hijab Festival 2013" in Sasana Budaya Ganesha (Sabuga), Bandung. Well, as a beginner hijaber I went there on the last day, yup on Sunday, with Dinda.With tickets prices only 10k, we can went around the entire of Sabuga. In the entrance gate, we could find right or left booth. There were sooo many booth from local brand, and the well-known brand such as GDA's by Gaida, Nara by Tyanara, and Ria Miranda we could find it in the booth in *we entered the other door*.
In the front gate, there was a place that we could take a photo as many as we want. A place with the letters IHF and the swing in the side.

With Dinda in the swing. Love the photo by the way><

Here, if you looked for pashmina, they provided many pashminas from one booth to another booth. They also provided many kind of clothes and maxi skirt. I also looked for pashmina (it's an obligation hehe) and chiffon maxi skirt. When I looked for that skirt, the price's average is about 200k but my budget was only 200k too, if I bought 200k skirt, I couldn't buy pashmina right?
I was very tired when finally I found the cute chiffon maxi skirt with only 135k! I was very heppih and without any doubt *actually I was confused to choose the one among the others, but finally I found it, yeay!* on Gallery Mutiez. They also available on Balubur Town Square, Bandung.

the tops

Cute tops and cute manequin

Besides skirt, tops, and pashmina, they also provided accessories and shoes although it's not as many booth that provide pashminas and tops. The accessories were so variative, there are rings, necklace, bross, and earring.

I think event like this is so useful for us, especially for me as a beginner because I can complete my collection too and took a look at the other style of hijabers there. It's so addicting and I really love hijab, and I also love photography hehe.
Each booth had a different decoration, it made them competing each other to make a unique and being looked by the customers.

they have to be responsible because I want this in my room!!

I actually purposely choosed Sunday to come because it will be many discount in all booth and it prooved yesterday, and I felt so blessed hihihi

Inside the other gate *that well-known booth where was* there was a catwalk stage and a hijab fashion show that was designed by local designer. But, it's a short show and actually I was late so I couldn't take many photos there.

This event is sponsored by many sponsor, and the two biggest sponsor were BNI and Wardah. So, there are their booth in the near of the entrance gate. Wardah also provided a make up tutorial and get voucher discount 10k in the entrance ticket *they sell their product too* and BNI provided a ATM in the bus.

It's mirror in Wardah booth

Simply, I love this event and I hope there will be many kind of event like this in Bandung!!! Hehehehe

XOXO,
Farah, Cupmuah!
