APRIL MADNESS *2?!

I just reopen my old posts on blog.
Randomly, I read what I wrote on 12th of April 2014. *so last years.. :))
Subjected "April Madness" , tells about how my BIG plan about my own desire of travelling was postponed for several times --"
A trip that  I planned since 2011, and isn't realized yet until now.

GIVE UP?! of course not..
Yess..I am a kind of person who would never give up until I get the goal.

This year, I surely [re]try to make it happen.
Luckily, I will go with 2 of my best friends who are already confirmed to travel together.
Nothing I could say except Hope this will really happen within this year.
Wish us luck!!! Aminn

Anyway..
It's already mid of April. I blame myself for not having a post regularly.
I'm so busy for some business, and the worse one, it also postponed my home leave schedule.
Skip this sh*t.. :')

I decide not to talk about something negative. Cause the negative things will never make a good vibe in life.

When talking about April. It always reminds me about my last year's trip in April.
Where did I go at that time? Here are the clues..

April is highly identical with Spring.
Then, Spring is identical with Sakura or Cherry Blossom. *I'm sure you already get the answer.
Yesss...It's Japan!!! *what is in mind when we heard about Sakura will be definitely Japan. agree?!

Sakura is blooming in every April.
During this month, people around the world will travel to Japan for its Sakura Blossom.
So am I. Thank God I had a chance to enjoy it last year. *gonna write that Japan trip on blog someday :D

Hold the Sakura
Taken Place : Osaka, Japan

I just realized that this date last year I finished my trip in Japan.
Highly I say, I just can't get enough with Japan.
Its culture, food, and everything are addictive.
Gonna be in Japan again someday for sure!!! Aminnn.. *let me know if you have the free ticket flight! *wink

5K #MAKASSARBERLARI #SAFERUNNING [20.03.2016]

Last night..on my way home.
I scrolled up my IG's home time line, and I found that there will be an event at CFD (Car Free Day) Mandala Makassar in the day after yesterday, which is today, 5K #MAKASSARBERLARI #SAFERUNNING

My friends (Kamal, Vedi, Itoh) and I decided to join this event.

Today's morning we woke up earlier, after a while, we went to Monumen Mandala Makassar at 5.45am cause the registration will start at 6am.
This event is presented by the Japanese sports drink which the commercial clip performed a girl band with almost 50 of members *I'm sure you know them so well* ahahaha

Registration - checked, we got the ID number, So let's strike a pose!!! ahahaha

SO READY TO RUN LIKE A PRO :)))
Taken Place : Monumen Mandala,  Makassar - South Sulawesi

As we heard from the committee, this event was held in some cities at the same time.
When we seen the route, it was quite worrying us, since the route was more than 5K, 5.6K for sure. hahaha
The route was familiar. We used to pass it by using vehicle, then today..we have to pass it by running?! sure?!. *think twice, haha

Warming Up session - checked.
5K #MAKASSARBERLARI #SAFERUNNING started at 7am.

I ran in the front row. I took around 35 minutes for this route. It was normal for me, since I usually do run 5K in around 30 minutes.
I finished first among 4 of us, then Itoh finished around 5 minutes after, while Kamal and Vedi finished around another next 5 minutes.

Finish Line.
Taken Place : Monumen Mandala,  Makassar - South Sulawesi

I wondered why Kamal and Vedi were very late finished. In fact, Vedi had to go to the nearest toilet. a morning business..hahaha..
They almost took a short cut since they didn't find any participants after they were starting over to run.
But finally they met another participants and it made their spirit up. VOILA!!! they passed the finish line!!!

YESSSSS WE DID IT!!! *proud*

The finishers #1
Taken Place : Monumen Mandala,  Makassar - South Sulawesi

The finishers #2
Taken Place : Monumen Mandala,  Makassar - South Sulawesi

One thing that surely will help much to get into the finish line during running.
BELIEVE YOU CAN DO AND YOU ARE HALFWAY THERE, cause MINDSET IS EVERYTHING AND MIND SETS EVERYTHING.
*trust me it works ~ act like a men in the high protein supplement drink TV commercial, lol

MY KIND OF MORNING RITUAL

Don't know why..when hearing about a word spells "ritual", it always refers to something magical, Don't you?!

However, I'm not going to talk about something magical.
What I meant about "morning ritual" is supposed to be something good that is routinely happened as a day starter. We are all must be taking a bath and having breakfast every morning every day, but this is definitely not about that thing.
A morning ritual should be an activity that could pump up your mood, also brings your mood in a good level for a whole day. It can be reading a book, having cup of coffee, or strolling around social media. It depends on every personal's enthusiasm.

For me, my own Morning Ritual is listening to music. A simple thing that doesn't need any money, tools and media. Sometimes I plug a rental earphone (since mine was gone..hahaha) to my laptop, or I let everyone around also listen to my playlist. Simple right?!

The playlist is random, but I always pick the upbeat song, local and international song, international song doesn't mean British or American song only, but also something happening nowadays, get it?! ahahaha.. yesss..K-Pop. hehehe

Yet, my first song to be listened, might be a song from Triplet GAC (Gamal Audrey Cantika) , titled "Bahagia" . I love the music, the lyric, and all its content, a very positive thoughts along the song. This song is easy listening, and easily could keep up my mood. :)

Have you listened?! Me did. So how is it?! I bet you all agree with me. hehe.
"Bahagia" means "Happy", this song indirectly stimulates me to be happy.

We would be someone what we think to be.
We are what we think.
When we think that we are happy, we surely be happy.
As I read some thoughts from the unicorn wannabe lady blog. I fully agree with these thoughts.
"Happiness is inside you and Happiness is a decision."

So why aren't we happy?! Happiness is simply in you and what you decide.
What are you waiting for?! Let's be HAPPY FOREVER!!!
