Diary of Happy Belly Lady

Hello hello

I'm back from my meditation because I'm too confused what will be the main theme of this blog and finally I decided to make this blog as my journal, where I can share my experiences, thoughts, and my favorite things. Btw, I just reached 21 around a week ago (2nd of May) and having the experience of being 21 year old lady just for a week is quite tough already. Everyday I can't get away from my thoughts about the future. What will I become, where will I work, and how can I survive in the real world. These kinds of questions kinda bothering me and makes me worried. But then I remember what is more important is the present and what I'm about to face is in the present is the final thesis. Thank God me and my team have finally decided what topic and now we're working on the proposal and waiting for it to be accepted. Wish us luck!

Anyway, I would also like to thank my friends especially in 06PAM class - Cynthia, Debby, Kalyana, Felix, Victor, Edbert, Bona, Gabstell, Jesse - for the surprise. You guys know what I want. A birthday cake and candles for me to blow. I'm surely gonna miss this moment :(

Yeah my face is so sleepy, because I don't put any makeup to go to campus, and I woke up too early that day, to study.

And another special thank you to my beloved boyfriend for this lovely shoes. It fits me perfectly.

and thank you for the wishes from my family, my friends in high school, BSSC, BS friends, fellow friends in BNEC. Thank you very much. You guys made me a happy 21 year old lady :D

And concerning about this post title, I would like to share what I cooked for breakfast this past few weeks. Those are actually simple. You guys can make it only around 20 minutes, and those foods are:

Hi.

Forgive me for being this late to update the blog, because the photos I used to take at some cafes are blur and at some time I also forgot to bring my olympus digital camera *self-pinch*. Until now I'm still not sure if it's because of my hand or the camera itself, if only somebody buy me a canon camera or an iPhone, I will take it everywhere I go and I will capture anything :3

So last saturday night, me and boyfie decided to cook a Tuna Spaghetti for dinner. It's simple to make and the ingredients are easy to find. Tuna Spaghetti is my favorite choice of pasta too, other than bolognese sauce pasta. I will never be bored to eat it, and so does my belly.

Well here's the recipe...

 

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 tablespoon of Olive oil
• 5 cloves of garlic, chopped (the number can be reduced if you're not a fan of garlic)
• 1 teaspoon of dry parsley, or the fresh chopped parsley
• 1 can of chunk light tuna 
• salt and pepper
• spaghetti

How to cook:

1. Cook the spaghetti in the boiled water, add some salt and oil when it is half done
2. Put the spaghetti aside, while preparing the tuna
3. Heat the olive oil on the pan
4. Cook the chopped garlic on medium heat until it smells good
5. Put the parsley and stir it for a while
6. Pour the chunk light tuna, be careful it might be splash a bit because of the water in the can
7. Stir until the tuna is almost done
8. Add a little bit of salt and pepper, and stir again
9. If the taste is already good, put the spaghetti, stir it together with the tuna

and voila! The Tuna Spaghetti is ready! 

P.S. In case you didn't hear the news, the price of a kilogram of garlic is around IDR 60.000

Thank God I already bought it few weeks before the price became this high. 

Java Jazz Festival 2013 was held in March 1st - 3rd, 2013 at JIExpo Kemayoran, Jakarta. The venue was massive as well as the crowd. It's beneficial enough for you who haven't done exercise enough you can do it here XD because there are many stages and concert halls there. I went there with Kalyana, Ivan, Kevin, Dendi, and Ais. We arrived a little bit earlier, except Kalyana and Ivan. The good thing is that we can take a lot of photos and don't have to queue much to get in to the venue. 

And here's the grand entrance...

Last but definitely not the least, the Special Performance by

Too bad I can only sing some of his songs, and few minutes before me and my friends got in to the concert hall, it was raining hard, so we got wet, a bit. But thanks to Craig David you made such a wonderful performance. 

I had such a fun Saturday night, because I spent the night and day with my girls at Central Park Mall and after that with my boyfriend at late night. When it comes to dinner time, me and the girls were quite confused where we should have our dinner, since there are a lot of cafe(s) and restaurant in Central Park. Then, Debby, one of the girls came up with the idea to try Sam and Jolly.

Sam and Jolly come up with the concept of Yoghurt adFUNture which can be seen in their interior, either the indoor or outdoor. They serve mainly the frozen yoghurt, but unlike Sam and Jolly's friend, Sally, They have a different kind of frozen yoghurt called yo-stick, which is a yoghurt ice cream on stick and  they also serve foods (appetizer and main course) and beverages that are must try. Because we were so hungry we just ordered the main course dishes.

I tried the Meaty Brownie Spaghetti (Indeed I'm such a big fan of this kind of meat spaghetti). It is basically just like the other Bolognese Sauce Spaghetti, but I think this one has less italian taste, because I didn't really taste the tomato and the italian herbs, however it was OK.

Cynthia ordered this creamy fetucinne and I think it has a good taste, because the composition of the cream was adequate and not too much.

Debby tried this Sampler Plater which consists of the chicken boxing, deep fried mushroom croquette-look-a-like, and a crispy tofu dumpling served with yoghurt mayonnaise, the reguler mayonnaise, and thousand island.

and Kalyana, tried the Cheesy Mushroom Rosti. The food consists of fried potato in a shape like pancake and a grilled chicken, topped with mozarella cheese and mushroom. The potato pancake was a bit flavorless but the grilled chicken was not bad, because the salt dominated the taste.

The range of price for the dishes is affordable enough which is around 25k - 135k, for the beverages around 13k - 40k.

How to get there? It is located next to the Little things she need and across the Urban Icon Store.

Oh and by the way they have special deals everyday, but the one I remembered was for Saturday and Sunday, you will get special discount by bringing your previous Sam and Jolly's receipt, applied for dine in only.

So that was my Saturday night, hope you guys had a FUN Saturday night too :)

1. Simply chop the garlic and carrot
2. Heat the olive oil to stir-fry the garlic
3. Add the carrot, stir with the garlic, then add the orregano after the carrot is almost done
4. Put the minced beef, break it up, and stir it until it is well done 
5. Add the tomato paste, preferrably not too much because the taste will be sour 
6. Add some water while you stir the meat and the tomato paste
7. Add the salt and pepper, stir again
8. Put the bay leave, stir
9. Have a taste first, and if you think it's good you can just keep it warm while you cook the pasta, if not try to add more seasonings :)
