The savior to a hungry night!

What to do when 14045 is unavailable to be ordered? Here's my situation. 3 orang cewek nginep di rumah gue karena subuh-subuh kita mau berangkat ke pulau. The thing is, there was no food at home, asisten rumah tangga juga lagi pulang kampung. Gilanya lagi, kami, si 3 cewek itu nggak ada yang bisa masak. Sekalinya kita bisa masak mie instan, gue perutnya alergi sama mie instan, jadi proposal mie instan dari Veve gue tolak. "Yah elah lo, udah laper aja masih picky!" Veve ngomel-ngomel. "Ya gimana, nggak lucu besok kita di boat gue sakit perut!" Tapi tiba-tiba Jackie muncul dengan solusi brilian. "Lo berdua nggak ada yang punya foodpanda?" katanya sambil megang-megang handphone. "Apaan deh foodpanda?" Begitu dikasih liat app-nya, kita semua langsung rebutan milih resto buat di orderin. Karena ternyata segampang itu! Bisa pilih area, tergantung kita lagi ada dimana. So cool! Dan malam itu, we decided to order a lot! lol www.instagram.com/cherylmarella www.twitter.com/cheryl_marella www.cherylmarella.com

New Year New Journey

When the clock hits 12am on January 1st year 2015, that's when I know I can no longer wait to do something long overdue. Leaving the country. Crazy as it sounds, but that's exactly what I need at the moment. So with all my might, I am making it happen. That would be the only resolution. I am going back to travelling the world while learning something new. It's gonna be 3 new resolutions in one move. If you asked me if I'm scared, the answer would be: Yes and No. A few country I'm gonna go would be Australia, Spain, Holland, Italy, England, and maybe will end up in Bali. But i'm excited for diving to the unknown. I don't know what's gonna happened, whether i'm gonna make it or not, but i'm so gonna try!

So 2015, here we go! www.instagram.com/cherylmarella www.twitter.com/cheryl_marella www.cherylmarella.blogdetik.com / www.cherylmarella.com

The world is now appreciating men's fashion more and more. And what's fantastic is that here, in Indonesia, we finally have that prestigious fashion week for men event, called Plaza Indonesia Men's Fashion Week. Being held annually, now is their 5th time doing their magic to woo and awe the audience. This year they go regional featuring Joe Chia (Malaysia), Samuel Wong (Singapore), Chris Jasler (Philippines) and Bin House (Indonesia). With special appearance from two international fashion bloggers Bryan Boy (New York), Daniel Boey (Singapore). I think Jail Jeans by Chris Jasler stole the attention for giving such a dramatic mask look, as well as Joe Chia's liberation is my favorite collection of all.

Feminine Energy

How is it actually to live as a woman? Do you have to be an alpha female? Like one of the member of Charlie's Angels? Or Victoria's secret's Angels? perfect body, perfect skin, perfect face even when you post your duckface you'll be the hottest duck faced woman ever? After being in a female body for almost 31 years, i finally came to a self awakening moment. Yes as a woman we do have to be independent (more importantly emotionally independent), but on top of all, is to be FEMININE (not feminim lol, what the hey is feminim anyway? haha). To be feminine IS to be strong. But strong in a feminine energy instead of taking a man's role. Accepting things as it as and content of her own happiness. Letting go of any insecurities, fears, and negative vibes. How do you let go of fear? As human being, we always fear something. This isn't about being a woman anymore. This is about being strong in the core. when you know whatever happens in this world, if everything you have is stripped down and you lose it all, you know you still be fine. If you don't have your career, your man/woman, your friends, you know it's not gonna change the happiness in you. You love yourself. You love yourself so much you wouldn't let anything gets you down. If you know somebody is not treating you right, you know you have to power to walk away. I was in a traffic once, motorbikes went crazy and I was getting frustrated. My mom was sitting on the passenger seat, and seeing me feeling uneasy, she said 'You know, you shouldn't let these little things affecting your joy.' She didn't even say 'happiness' but 'joy'. I told her 'how?' and she said 'Be strong at the core. content with yourself. those things out there is not within you. don't bother so much of whats not within you.' Isn't my mom amazing? Now back to being a woman, being soft, receptive and receiving is basically our gift. To radiate love and nurture are also in our nature. Doesn't matter how great is your career, and independent you are as a woman, going back to the roots is the best way to embrace being a woman itself. Take good care of your body, your spirit, eat healthy to respect your body, exercise for your health, do things that you love and make you happy. And love. Love love love. It is one of the most powerful energy in the universe. In the end, before you do anything, ask yourself first. Are you acting out of love, or out of fear?

lets walk on water!

Again its beeen a while since my last post. Life has been a roller coaster ride! My life is like a movie lately, and if there is time where i can say 'life is full of surprises', its now! But can i tell you a story about a friend of mine who inspires me a lot lately?! I have never met anyone who is more positive than him. This year alone i think he's been through hell and back! I imagine putting myself in his shoes and i thought 'nah i might just die', from a devastating heartbreak to a massive car crash, i've never seen this person complained! He never did. Puts me to shame everytime im having a shitty day and starts complaining, i remember how he always laugh his problems off, jokes about it, and always having positive attitude about it. I stop complaining. I told myself to just have faith, big and strong enough faith that you could walk on water and move mountains. I refuse to complain, some shitty situations where people are just using you, leeching you, hating you, drag you down, those are just reminders, that in life, to love, and forgive are the most powerful things. And never count on anyone but you and God. If there's one more day given to you, live it large. For that day might not gonna come again, but your stories will be told till the end of the world. Love, cee. www.mypsychodelicmind.wordpress.com and www.cherylmarella.tumblr.com

A Change of Mindset.

So for about 2 weeks or more i've been trying to apply this whole 'being positive' and getting the positive energy and work on myself. Guess what, it turns out GREAT! Like seriously, whenever i am being grateful for even the smallest thing in life, even greater things came my way. Its so amazing. The key of doing this in what i lear are: 1. Love. To love ourself is the first thing first. To love God. To love my family and friends, to love this life, the situation im in(no matter how bad coz you know it could always be worse), to love the place im at, the work im doing, to love the haters (this gotta be the hardest, even im still learning to do it without hassitation (err did i spell it right?) Anyway... Love, and be loved. We should have that love so big and abundantly that we dont even need a love back. And love will definitely love you back. 2. Forgiveness. Sometimes we are in a very bad state because of a wrong decision we made. We should make peace with this, forgive ourself, forgive those who hurt you. You know holding grudge can seriously damaged you, hatred, revenge and all those will only hold you back from doing greater big things! You need to be in peace, then you can see clearly the path you are going. 3. Positive Mind and Attitude. If you are joyful (no more hatred, anger, pain, etc) and you can love everything around you, keep the positive attitude. Be at least positive for 51% that happened in life in a day. Not complaining too much but focus on the things you are blessed with. Coz its about time for us all to defy gravity! www.mypsychodelicmind.wordpress.com and www.cherylmarella.tumblr.com

Inner Peace Beneath the Clouds

A few posts ago i was talking about inner peace. I gotta say it took me around two years to find it. It was a long journey of finding your own true self. Having faith about love, life, sacrifice and everything in between. And then build yourself again after it was once (or too many) damaged. So many things in life can damaged you. Betrayal, Lies, sadness, grief, grudge, hatred, etc etc. But When you made it, you found it, you know that there's no way you will ever gonna go back down that path, ever again. But life's path is never your call. Storm will come, whether you like it or not. And when it happened, you will think that you lost that inner peace again. But I dont think so. It's still there somewhere in your heart, somewhere beneath the clouds, you only need to clear the air to find it. After all, it is already a part of you that could never be taken away by anyone. With that inner peace, you can forgive, forget, try to look at things from the big picture, not judging about anything, selfless, still love, and just be cool. (With a bit of a fight of course. Coz every storm brings its own damaged right?) The first part will be the hardest. After the second storm, even if you fell, you won't start from ground zero. Don't beat your self up. I always told myself to be still, and know that there is God. One who holds your hand, and never leave and never changed. His promises are true, and only in Him the source of your inner peace will be. To never lose faith. When we have faith we can see all His glory and blessings. Count those blessings, so we can get up and be grateful of what we have and what we don't have. Count those blessings, and help blesses others. Find comfort in each others faith. Don't hate. Don't curse. Don't hold grudge. Ease your soul. I promise you this is NOT gonna be easy. I don't remember how many times i fell. But i always get back up. Never giving up. Ever. There may be storm right now, coz i can't see clear straight to my inner peace. But i will find it again, or i will die trying. www.mypsychodelicmind.wordpress.com and www.cherylmarella.tumblr.com
