Hello, my dear friends. Just for your little information, today was the day I ended my job as a barista at Starbucks. And now you sounded like "What? Did you just write the post reasons why you chose to work at Starbucks?". Well, it seven months passed already, and I don't get it how times jump that far. And yes, I was only working for seven months. 

I was dreaming about getting a part-time job at Starbucks since I was in high school (and it was also on my 2012 life list, you may check my journal). Life seems like teasing me, even God loves to tease me since the beginning. I never thought I would find myself working at my favorite coffee shop, with my Chinese Education degree (funny that my friends out there working as a teacher, me busy making lattes for everyone), as a full-timer, andddd... in Bali. But I am so thankful for this great opportunity. Working at Starbucks has taught me almost everything. And now I am here, writing some of the things that I have learned:

Personality Test | INFJ

Around three weeks ago, my best buddy, Jessica, told me about this personality test. It was pretty fun because I was searching about online personality test too. I had been taking different types of personality tests since I was in school. My daddy, who is a counselor and a grapholog, sometimes helps me to find out too. I am always curious about myself. Sometimes I feel I am hundred percent know much about myself, but the other day I am feeling strange, unfamiliar with myself. But I think it's normal especially for us who are in the 20s stage. We are busy seeking for identity day to day, through what we do or the way we think. We are very weird yet complicated creature ever, when actually God simply made us from dust. But does it mean we are very unique in our own way?

This personality test is very easy to do, and I loveeee the way they explain for each personality. They even let us to explore our kind of personality (our strengths&weakness, in a relationship, career paths, etc). What makes my eyes wider, there are so many kind of people in this world! 

When I plan to write this post, I took my test once again and the result is still the same. I got myself: INFJ. 

 

More about INFJs

I am little surprised with the fact I am one of INFJs. I am kinda a helper, which means I don't ever think myself is a helper hehe. But mostly this personality speaks loud for me. Like in friendship, an INFJ seeks out someone who shares every facet of passion and imagination. That is even more obvious, because I only own few people in my life to share dreams with.

It is really fun and excited to find out what kind of a person we are. Jessica always reminds me to "be friend" with ourselves. Because no matter how we know much about the others, knowing ourselves more is even better. And the most important thing that we can't forget is, to remember The One who created us. Stay awesome, people!

Balangan Beach | Under the sun we met

Last week, I got chance to visit a beach on my Bali's Beaches List, Balangan Beach.

Balangan Beach located at southern part of Bali island, it takes around 40 minutes from Kuta. It's totally different from my favorite beach ever (I fell in love on my first step), but yet still gorgeous. I once read an article about this beach, they said it's almost feels like you are going to Raja Ampat (woww). There are not so much local tourists here, not yet maybe. Lots of surfers come here, the rest people were just enjoying the sun like me. Before I live in Bali, I am not so a beach girl (you know, wears bikini, sun bathing, put sunscreen, blabla). But it is really a regrettable thing if you don't try to love beach, since you live in an island that have best beaches in the world. Still not trying to wear bikini (hehe), I spend my time at the beach mostly for just relaxing, my eyes especially. You know the feeling when you surround yourself with so much blue things; the sky, the ocean, the wave. Believe it or not, seeing those things will boost your mood up. The sparkling white sands is another bonus. If you are not kinda a beach girl like me, bring your favorite book or magazine, rent the beach bench (mostly around 50,000IDR, and there is no hour limit!), enjoy your beach time.

It's really Monday again anyway. Writing this post makes me hope to back to the beach soon. I wish everyone have a great great day. Stay awesome!
