Scooby Scuba Dooby Diving

After weeks of planning and delays, S and I finally went for our very first scuba diving lesson today...soooo muuuucchhh fuuuun! Venue was good, instructor was very professional, and the whole experience was somehow very refreshing...yay!

I actually came to know about this scuba diving lesson from Di Kota Kita...they have interesting offers, you know? I also bought my go-karting vouchers from Di Kota Kita...:)

And here you go...pictures from today..:)

The key to scuba diving is to just stay calm & breathe properly...never, ever panic...:)

Eye Love Hot Chocolate

I loooove this eye cropped top from L&K...my best new item of the week! :)

L&K cropped top, Coloriot shorts, Mango short tights, Allura flower piece, unbranded straw hat, Up wedges

Btw, do you know how to make your very own homemade hot chocolate drink that can beat Starbucks's and Coffee Bean's?

Here's how:

Just add a sachet of Milo 3in1 powder plus 2 blocks of Van Houten chocolate plus very hot water to ensure the chocolate blocks melt. PERFECTO.

Lastly, a new sleeping animal-mate in my bed heheh..meet the owl, courtesy of Ideku Handmade....love it! :)

The act of collecting thoughts is most of the times underrated. What people often value and appreciate is the view of someone running here and there working till late night with his or her cellphone constantly ringing being reminded of meetings one needs to attend. And yet those who sit quietly at home thinking what to do next is perceived as lazy and has nothing to do.

Collecting thoughts does not translate to doing nothing. It's the door to opening everything.

No Wonder I Like Skies

Diana (pronounced with long 'ī' and 'ā') is an adjectival form developed from an ancient *divios, corresponding to later 'divus', 'dius', and in the neuter form dium meaning the sky. It is rooted in Indoeuropean *d(e)y(e)w, meaning bright sky or daylight.

It's been such a long, busy week...woah! Not blogging for 5 days feels sooooooo long hehehe...

So I've basically been caught up at work...I love working from coffee shops btw. And it's weird because I don't drink coffee at all hahah...you guys might not believe this but I've never drunk coffee my whole life even just a sip. I enjoy going to Starbucks, Coffee Bean and the like but I would always order hot chocolate milk, tea or just water...:)

Moving on...the Ideafest 2011 workshop was so much fun! I think it made me realize how much I'm into coaching, mentoring or sharing...I'd probably end up being a lecturer one day...:)

I think I ate something wrong that day during the workshop though that I ended up vomiting 7 times in half a day. Parents took me to the hospital and I was diagnosed with food-poisoning. Thank God I'm so much better now...:)

To end the week: CRANBERRIES. Seriously, Dolores is THE BOMB. I've loved her since I was in Junior High School and she will always have that special place in my heart. I love love love Cranberries and Dolores's weird moves.

"Diana, do you always go for branded items?"...absolutely not! I'm very open to any kind, branded and non-branded, local and international, new and old. As long as I like it, I'll definitely go for it. In fact, I very much enjoy shopping at flea markets like Pasar Senen and Gedebage. Fashion is fun! :)

Cheer Up!

In life, there will always be someone who will try to kill your dream. If your dream eventually gets killed, it's nobody's fault but yours. It's your dream. Protect it.

Btw, I've just updated my Up shop with a new program called the "LEVEL UP Scholarship Program"...yay! From now onwards, for every Up shoes sold, Rp.5.000 goes to a scholarship for a low-income child. We now have one scholarship student already, a 12-year-old girl who just started her junior high school (read here). If you know any child who also needs support and has great determination in his or her studies as well, it would be so great if you could also share the information with me so Up can help...:)

Thank you so much before, everyone! :)

S: "Can I drive you home tonight?"
Me: "It's okay, babe. I can drive myself."
S: "Pleeeaaase? I don't want you to drive by yourself."
Me: "Okay then...thanks, babe. Btw, I got you this DVD."
S: "Ooohhhhhh wowwwwwww. Babe, can you go home by yourself?"
Me: "So you can watch the DVD tonight?"
S: "Yeahh.."

Fun In The Run
