APPRECIATE LIFE.    Can you believe that 2017 has gone halfway now? I finally back to writing world. For almost 2 years I've been hiatus, I gotta say everything has changed (literally, changed so much).

Let me start off with the year of 2016. That year have been a whirlwind, containing some of the brightest and darkest moment in my life. 

5/16: A year ago, my twin and I took a leap of faith from just a part of bedroom discussion and start our own business which selling a healthy meal. Then, not long after that we both found a place and opportunity to expand the business, but we decided to turn it down. Because we believe those lifestyle and brand doesn't really suits both of us, however twas a great learning experience for our business in the future. 

We hope you guys can give us some support on the next business we are about to build. I'm truly grateful that the healthy business line that we both created was a success. Couldn't achieve it without the help of our mom, dad, vendor and partners. 

9/16: The next one broke my heart but taught me the very important lesson that of anywhat matters in life, always go back to the root where you came from ; which is family. I lost my dad and till now, I'm still in disbelief he is gone. Over time, I'm hoping and sometimes feel he is still here with us. He is always on my prayer. 

11/16: The next one, my sister finally is a mom as she delivers her first baby, my brother in law became a dad and I finally become an auntie. So thrilled to welcome my nephew and he is truly showered with love from people surrounding. ❤❤❤

1/17: I decided to re-build my career and start working again at one of the main beauty distributor company in Jakarta. 6 months counting and still going strong. Talking about job is always interesting to me. Blessed and grateful. 

5/16 - 7/17: It's only been a year but this moment has given me heartaches and sleepless nights than any years. But 2016 is the year where I have found the greatest sense of fulfillment, purpose and compassion in life. 

NOW: Finally back again to my blog where everything is more simple, more serene and more peaceful. I hope I will spend more time posting and writing. Because, this blog will and always will be the place where my heart is because every time when I felt down, I will turn back and read all of my posts, then I know I am loved more than ever. 






What are you grateful for a year, or even better a day?

A VENTURE.  As i told in my previous post, my twin and I are focusing on our little business venture back in hometown. It was initially her idea and since I'm still searching and hoping to find my dream job, I'm willing to help and support her (yeah, sister power haha!) Never crossed in my mind or even in million years that we would run our own online business. Our strategy of using Instagram as our platform is very effective, thanks to this new form of media which I believe has help in sparking the conversation and feed people with the information. 

My twin and I couldn't be more thrilled to hear the positive feedbacks. We constantly improving from day one and I still remember on how I struggle and being scold on my own recipes. It worth the pain and as times goes by, people starting to understand our business concept and questioning what are the reason behind it. So here i am deciding to share the history behind this early birth online business. 

- THE BIRTH OF O' - 

In the young age, both my twin and I were struggled of being overweight. Snacking on junk food and fried food has always been our favorite food to munch. We hate veggies and even fruits! I remember mommy always ask us to drink our carrot juice everyday and getting to finish a full glass can sometimes feel dauntingly long. Despite of this issue, we are still surrounded by great friends, happy and healthy (in here i'm referring to no major sickness happen)


This was back in 2008. Left is Ola, right is yours truly. 

In the middle of our university break, My twin suddenly went to this oat-based strict diet for around 3 to 4 months. I remember the time when she just sealed her mouth and get away from all this junk foodies, packed her fruit and dried oats for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Her determination somewhat surprised me, especially when I offered her my Indomee and she totally ditched that hahaha. She also started to make different kind of oats from parfait, oats topped with dried fruits and looks good with all the bright colors.



ze healthy yet yum foodies!
Her creative mind and determination is really paid off. She looks totally different after semester break and I'm looking more like to a potato. However, I still do not bother to look any good and even losing my weight! See how the oat do the magic! Lol. 























The pic above was in Bali :) Notice the differences between my twin and I? Then, come to the most favorite part of every girl ; which is shopping. I used to not have any interest in shopping, because I used to spend it rather on food, food and foodies (even my friend tease me as "garbage can" (not a bad way, but its referring as I always love to eat the leftover and I can never see the food left hanging lol!) You probably would be shock that I ever finish a bucket of white rice, alone. Moving on, seeing back at my twin, looking so pretty with all the current fashion trends tempts me to buy too. Well, it doesn't fit really nice on me. Starting from that point on, I wanted to lose my weight. 


The beginning of losing my weight didn't went really well. I wanted to lose weight in a fast way, but I gotten more and more weak. Then, my twin started to share her recipes and in about a month, I started to made my own too. In about 2 months, I lost 20 pounds. After this little success of mine, I felt like I've gained my confidence, lighter and of course healthier. My twin also suggested me to gym and we've been hitting the gym ever since. We are still far from what healthy and fit body defines, but we are working to reach that stage yet. We wanted to do more of this and it would be great if other people can treasure the same goal and experience too! Yay to healthy lifestyle. That's why my twin suggest to create this new venture and hopefully people liked the idea. Recently, my diet is based on O' Healthy Choice overnight oat menu. We consumed it daily and it works! I lost quite some pounds in just a week! But make sure, say no to snack munchin' kay! :) Diet needs some determination, too people xx

O' based on our name which is Ola and Olen. It's totally simple and represent us both. In this post, we would like to encourage you to not just focus on being skinny, but to be healthy. We currently working on the new product and can't wait to launch all em' soon. For more info that you need to know, follow our Instagram or facebook page O' Healthy Choice

TO THE FUTURE. Had marvelous and fun lunch in Tesate restaurant. When I think about it, its amazing to see the journey I have been through with all people I met. They truly gave me the meaning of life and create different chapter in my book of life. I always wondered why did He sometimes placed me in the lowest point of my life where I can't even deal wit, and thats when these people strengthen me. 


Im wearing jumpsuit from Mossino Dutti, its very comfy and I guess I need to lose my weight more hahaha, because the upper part is quite tight for me because I had a really wide shoulder. To let you know, I had the widest shoulder in the family. Well, thanks to my dad's genes, but I never get his long leg. My twin sister and 2 other sisters did though. so unfair rite! hahaha I envy people with small body! I really do.







Currently I'm in the office right now and apparently nothing to do. I guess, blogging is the way to cure my boredom. I'm sitting with the other two co-workers, not talking but keep typing and eating! haha I gotta get my lunch now, toodles, get back to you asap
