Put that new glasses on

A few hours ago I read a caption of someone's post on Instagram about how happy she is that she finally got her second pair of glasses and she said,
"Take good care of your eyes, it's not fun seeing the world in  a very low quality."
For a moment, I thought that was funny but then I realised something...
De bermaksud agar tong jaga mata ni baik-baik, karna ketika mata mulai rusak/sakit, melihat dunia dengan kualitas yang rendah tuh tidak asik. Sa ingat skali waktu pertama kali sa tau sa mata minus dan harus pake kacamata. Kadang sedih karna dianggap pura-pura tramau lihat teman pas di mall padahal memang pada jarak tertentu sa mata kabur utk kenal orang pu wajah. Itu baru sa sadar betapa pentingnya punya mata yang sehat dan terpaksa harus pake kacamata. 

Sama halnya ketika tong terlalu sering melihat ke pandangan atau hal yang sama, sehingga kadang tong tra sadar kalau sebenarnya sudah saatnya untuk memperbaiki atau ganti posisi atau beralih ke hal lain untuk dilihat. Itu yang dibilang kadang kita terlalu nyaman sama sesuatu sehingga untuk mo berpaling itu susah skali rasanya. Menurut sa secara pribadi dari pengalaman2 di masa lalu, sa terlalu sering membiarkan itu bgitu saja, sehingga rasa sakit atau rasa lelah atau rasa harus mengganti hal itu dengan yang lebih baik itu jadi susah skali. and guess what? A life full of regret. and guess what? ko tra bisa kembali ke masa lalu untuk memperbaiki. The choice is yours. I made mine. It was hard and take a lot of courage. 

Mungkin yang sedang dalam hubungan sama pria yang mengakunya setia, sudah tertangkap basah selingkuh, tapi ko kasi maaf saja, alasannya apa? karna su pacaran lama, orang tua su baku tau, su tunangan, su terlanjur cinta, su terlanjur kirim undangan nikah kemarin pagi (hahahahah :p) 

Mungkin yang skarang lagi sekolah tapi tra sesuai jurusan yang ko mau, susah sampe ko mo mampus dan rambut rontok semua, knapa tra ganti jurusan atau pindah kampus k? su mo wisuda juga moh, orangtua yang biayai dan orangtua pu mau ini, malu untuk ganti jurusan atau pindah ya nanti orang bilang apa. 

Mungkin yang ingin coba hal-hal baru tapi tra berani karna takut nanti orang bicara ini dan itu, atau takut tman-tman tertawa ko karna dong pikir itu konyol dan aneh.

Well, I have some things to say then...
1. Sayang..masih banyak ikan di laut, ikan yang lebih enak malahan. Mati satu tumbuh seribu. U know what I'm talkin' about ;)

2. This is your life, kalau ko hidup dengan melakukan sesuatu yang ko tra suka, trust me, bahkan 10juta yang ko hasilkan per bulan itu tidak dihasilkan dengan sukacita. Punya penghasilan atau nilai bagus dari sesuatu yang tong passionate about is better than doing something out of the most hated thing in the world -_-

3. Be you! Be your kind of beautiful. Stop pikir apa yang orang lain bilang, dong ada bayar ko uang sekolah ka? ada kasi yang beli kolor ka beli baju ka beli pinang ka? tidak to?

Now, take care of your eyes (heart and life), get new glasses on (new things, new courage) and start viewing the world in a high quality. Okay darling!!

Thanks!
xoxo


God bless

FLAT TWIST OUT ON NATURAL CURLY HAIR

Hi beauties...

I posted a new video on my youtube channel about a month ago and I totally forgot to post it on this blog. So, for any curly girls out there who looking for simple natural hairstyle with very easy style, stay tune to my videos, I will post the link down below, feel free to watch it and please subscribe to my channel for new coming videos and let me know if you guys want me to do a video on some cool hairstyles or maybe my everyday makeup routine and whatever girls you name it!








You will need: 
- hair ties
- any type of hair gel (water based is better)
- brush
- hair pick (afro pick/afro comb)
- bobby pins
- water 
- leave-in conditioner
- coconut oil (any type of oils of your choice)

I did this hairstyle on my third/fourth day hair, before I spray some water to make my hair more manageable, I did have product on my hair (leave-in conditioner), but because it's been there for days, I spray the water and add little bit of my tresemme leave-in spray to add moisture to my hair. Then I was too lazy to detangle my hair, I just straightaway add my hair gel. After that I just divided my hair and started twisting my hair on each section as you will see from the video. You can use bobby pins to hold the end of your hair while you are doing the rest of your hair. When I finished,  I just tied my hair without the bobby pins. When I'm ready to sleep, I just sleep on my sateen pillowcase to keep my hair from drying out. The next day after I showered, I just put a bit more of oil and start untwisted my hair on each section. Be careful when you do this method, because sometimes you get too excited and your hair can end up looking like a mess. To get more volume, I took my afro pick and make my hair bigger than it is, to add those afro looking hair. LOL. Then there you go! A beautiful untwisted hair ^_^

MY BLOG'S NAME (BLACK ORCHID)

Hi there...

As you can see that my blog's name is Black Orchid (Anggrek Hitam), and this post is about the reason why I chose that name and what is the definition of my blog's name.
I am actually confused because when I wanted to post my blog's site on my other social media, it is always comes up with the name "cacanovelista" first and then "blackorchid" comes after that -__- I suppose to use 'blackorchid' only but yeah I'll work on that too.

So, BLACK ORCHID. Why black orchid? why not just Orchid?
Let's break this down in Indonesian. Shall we?..

Black Orchid or Anggrek Hitam bukanlah sesuatu yang asing untuk didengar khususnya anggrek apabila kita berdomisili di Indonesia atau Asia. Anggrek sendiri pada dasarnya merupakan jenis bunga yang unik, khas dan cantik. Kalau teman-teman pernah ke Papua atau berdomisili di Papua, pastinya pernah dan sering melihat berbagai jenis bunga anggrek dimana-mana. Satu hal yang membuat saya tertarik untuk menggunakan nama Anggrek Hitam adalah karena keunikan dan kelangkaan dari pada bunga tersebut. I can write two pages about this special flower, but to be exact you guys can read this article that I found where the explanation is very clear about Black Orchid (Anggrek Hitam).

In Bahasa: http://www.travelingbreak.com/pesona-si-cantik-misterius-bunga-anggrek-hitam/

In English: http://theorchidpot.blogspot.com.au/2012/04/black-orchids.html

Basically those websites are general definitions of Black Orchid. I chose to use this name because I never see black is a color. If in physics they said that Black does not have specific wavelength just like White, then for me Black is a complement. A complement is used to enhanced something else or let's break it as an example, like The Sun is a perfect complement to the sky, just like the Moon to the sky at night time..and the sentence goes on and on. So yeah, I believe that black is good with everything, just like when us wearing a bright and colourful shirts, we will choose something black (dark) with it so we don't look like a clown :D 

Trust me, Black is perfect with everything, just like the other day when I was gonna buy a new phone and I used to have the white iPhone and now that I'm getting a new one, I thought Black will be perfect even though I know it will be damn hard to find my phone inside my black handbag -_- hahaha..

While Orchid itself, is my favourite flower, that flower represents my soul, where I belong, the uniqueness that not everyone can find it easily especially the Black Orchid. Although, I read many articles and books about how Black Orchid can symbolise as death and sadness, which I think in some part of the world it is true, as we always wear black at people's funeral. 

Black Orchid is more like a mystery to me but at the same time it is expensive in the way that it is very hard to find and maintain, and it is beautiful and there is a luxury in itself. Therefore, we shall give it a big Yes to me for choosing this name because it is a mysterious, expensive and beautiful and luxury just like how it looks.

I'm back

Heloooooooooo again everyone...
I am so sorry, I have been so so busy with my life and always wanted to write new updates but university assignments, holidays and all that good stuff kind of made me busy :-/
Anyways..
Now that I'm back, I have exciting news for my curly girls out there who are willing to see or watch fun stuff about natural curly hair, I just created a new youtube channel a few days ago and I am super duper exciting about it.

Basically I just want to share my journey all of you who is interested in watching videos about curly hairstyles, my wash and go and all that good stuff.

How long I have been natural?

I have been natural for 17 years until the day my mom was asking me if I was interested in relaxing my  hair, long story short I said yes and it took me 5 years to realise how stupid I was because naturally I had gorgeous curly hair and the only thing that made me wanted to relax my hair was my lack of knowledge of how to take care of my hair. 
So, that is why on August 2014, I went to take a shower with a scissor..lol..not to suicide or anything hahaha..but to cut these ugly, fried relaxed hair. Yeppp!! I did it! I did the big chop and I never miss my relaxed hair whatsoever. I am glad I did it because now, 8 months later I am living a happier life if I must say because I finally could embrace my curly hair and began to take care of my hair and loving it so much..

I have been inspired by so many naturals youtubers, they are gorgeous and beautiful with their different types of natural curly hair which made me wanna do my own journey and share it with you guys. Especially for my West Papuan girls, as far as I know we all have many beautiful curly hair girls out there who may know how to take care of their hair but some of them are not.

This is why I wanted to create some helpful videos for me and you girls who have been thinking and struggling how do you take care of your hair or how to style your hair or what kind of products would   suit my curly hair???etc...etc..

So, there you go..Click down below and watch my new video, my first video showing how I style my 3rd or 4th day hair which kinda dry but that's okay..forgive me for it, I am a beginner in editing videos and talking in front of a camera :D 

Please watch, comment, like and subscribe for my upcoming videos.

Thank You 

xoxo
