2020 is the Year to Cut the Crap
Personally, 2019 is the year of massive healing and expansion to say the least. I started the year with in-explainable sickness that I’ve strongly assumed related to the lower vibration of depression, anxiety, stress, that I experienced in the past that still stuck as a trauma in my body. I also find out more and more, I get sensitive to other people’s energy, this also affect me big time in my journey of healing. I took one step at a time to heal my body and soul, thankfully my medical dr and healers (shoutout to dr. Herwien, Mbak Intan from Rumah Remedi, Raj Kumari, Michelle, Mbak Fiona Wang, My sis…

Welcoming 2020: A Decade in Review
Welcoming 2020: A Decade in Review A decade in review! I guess before entering 2020, it’s good to look back to see what I’ve done with my life. 2009 I was a newlywed, married to my university sweetheart after 8 years of relationship, we bought a house and a car together. 2010 Our marriage started to crumble at the point that I need to hire my first ever lawyer, unfortunately it was a divorce lawyer. 10 years after our divorce, I have nothing but gratitude as we have made the best decision. I have grown so much as a person after that. The asset from that pain was my knowledge on…

A Day in Life of a CMO at Storial.co
I woke up at 5.30am today, starting my day with the intention of having a better day than yesterday. I listen to a guided meditation by Dr. Joe Dispenza for 20 minutes before I sit at my home office and start writing the things that I’m grateful for on my gratitude journal. I’ve been doing this practice since 2014 and it has helped me a lot to keep myself to see the brighter light in life. When I finally open my laptop, it’s to do a lot of reading. I read news and articles related to literature, entertainment, technology and marketing industry at Feedly, while eating 500gr of my assorted…

Gary Vaynerchuk Wants You to Post It Already Focus on your vision to give values to your audiences
We’ve been doing it all wrong. Most of us would be obsessed with the amount of likes that our pictures get on Instagram. It’s far from the actual point of creating the post in the first place: to create awareness of whatever it is you want to say to the world. According to Gary Vee, we need to create a content with empathy, a content that is going to entertain our audience or keep them informed. We don’t just post a picture because we look good in it. Tell people, what’s in it for them. Tell a story. Gary said written word is important, even on Instagram posts. Make sure…

The Quest to be Free
Have you ever fall in love so hard it kills you? You can feel anxiety creeping in your back bone. The kind of fear with no exact logic. The what if he woke up one day and decide that he doesn’t love you anymore? Sitting alone with my juice and healthy food, I thought keeping it clean will help me clear my mind.

Essentially Essential Oil
I noticed something pleasantly different when I write my book last weekend. Now, the book I’m writing at the moment has a different difficulty level. You have to understand stock market like an expert, because I’m writing the biography of one. With my work during workdays and all that shit that happened in my personal life, it was so difficult to focus to write. I can’t write for so long because my brain just seem to stuck. But two weeks ago, I found these gems: essentially essential oils! I use Copaiba, which I bought because I burnt my fingers from nail polish remover (stupid wounds, really, but it might gave…

When You’re Tired: Rest
I always need minimum once a month getaway and I’ve been neglecting this need for the past few months due to work. Just recently, I have moved past a relationship, opening a new chapter in life, and I want a new fresh start. So I head to Bandung. My friend Heera was opening her house for me, where I found peace, and the warmth of belonging. Spent my day at Bandung’s many parks and breath in as much as fresh air as I could get. Reading Marcus Aurelius’ Meditations once again, to remind myself how to be stoic in the hardest situations in life. “I am willing to be ok,”…

NOT a New Year’s Resolution 2018 Just creating new better habits
2017 is not an easy year for many people including me. But, it’s not fair to label it a ‘bad year’ because when I read the whole journal of 2017, I discover 20+ yayness and only 3 wtfs.

New year’s eve was opened with me and Vera stranded in a very…
