Hi readers!

White Day is coming! I've arranged to giveaway some goods for you girls on Valentine's Day, but due to my really busy schedule (as a graduated-soon-student) I cancelled it. But don't be disappointed, I've teamed up with ROMWE to give away a chic black shirt for one lucky participant.  It goes well with not only your denim shorts or pants, but also your skirts, leggings, etc. Just as Coco Chanel said “Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all."  Go to school or parties, hang out with friends or shopping, it will surely make you stand out. So why don't you try your luck?


The rules are simple:
1. Follow my blog via GFC or bloglovin
2. Add a comment on the product page via Facebook account to show your love to the Tee! go to http://www.romwe.com/romwe-letters-print-black-tshirt-p-70340.html and scroll down until you find this "add a comment" link:



3. Tell me you have done it by leaving me a comment contains your GFC/bloglovin username and your e-mail below :)

Example:

"I'm joining! wish me luck :)

GFC: Helena Natanael
e-mail: helena_nt@live.com"

More details:
Giveaway ends on 17th March 2014, 7 PM (GMT +7). I will announce the winner on my twitter and on the sidebar of my blog (I will not write a winner announcement post) in the same day on 9 PM and contact the winner via e-mail directly, so make sure your e-mail is correct :)
That's it! Good luck and see you on the next post :)


P.S.: 

Congrats to Dewie Aprillia for winning this tee! Romwe team will contact you :)





 

Hi all!
Since this is a Beauty giveaway winner announcement that opens only for Indonesian participant, so I will write it in Bahasa ^^

Nah, gini lebih enak. Hahaha. Kadang nulis pake bahasa inggris, jadi lebih lama karena harus mikir kata-kata yang tepat dulu. Kalo kata yang kita tulis asal-asalan, bisa-bisa apa maksud kita ga terwakili. Hahaha...

Pertama-tama, aku mau mengucapkan terima kasih banyak untuk semua partisipan di giveaway aku. 60 lebih orang yang sudah ikut giveaway ini betul-betul merupakan orang-orang terpilih yang membuatku bahagia (?) Giveaway ini merupakan giveaway yang bener-bener bikin aku kerja keras. Mulai dari blogwalking, baca post blog tersebut, kasih komentar, dan ngundang mereka untuk berpartisipasi di giveaway ini. Untung giveaway ini diadakan selama liburan akhir tahun, jadi aku gak perlu mikirin pr dan tugas sekolah... hihihi. Aku juga kerja keras blogwalking dan nyebarin info mengenai giveaway ini karena giveaway ini khusus buat penduduk Nusantara (cieilah hahaha).

Selama aku ngeblog, dikit banget orang Indonesia yg jadi reader blogku. Entah kenapa kayaknya blog orang Indonesia masih sedikit dibandingin orang luar negeri. Jadi aku agak kesulitan dalam nyebarin info giveaway ini, karena orang luar negeri kan nggak bisa ikut. Dan, dari sedikit blog Indonesia itu, sebagian besar udah tak terurus. Post terakhirnya banyak yang berkisar antara 6 bulan sampe 2 tahun lalu. Sedih banget. Bahkan ada yang cuma judul doang, gak ada postnya >_<

Awalnya aku juga agak pesimis mengenai gimana giveaway ini bakal berjalan. Mungkin cuma sedikit yang ikut, gak sampai 10 orang, pikirku. Aku juga terpikir nggak enak sama Sister to Sister Store yang udah sponsorin giveaway kali ini, Beauty Giveaway pertama yang aku bikin di blog aku. Eh ternyata setelah berjalan, sedikit demi sedikit, partisipan giveaway ini makin banyak... yey! Ternyata blogger Indo sudah peduli sama produk kecantikan :D

*Iklan sebentar*




Thank you banget buat temen-temenku di kelas yang jago gambar, Karina dan Cynthia... Suka banget sama art yang kalian bikin ♥
Karina bilang kalo artnya ini di dedikasiin buat aku yg pecinta teddy bear (?) jadi ada teddynyaa.. hahaha. Kalau Cynthia, dia merupakan silent reader blog ini, dan dia tau aku suka fotografi makanya di gambar itu tangan kananku pegang DSLR.. Dia berhasil membuat aku terlihat unyu dalam seragam sekolah hahaha XD


Oh iya, dari hari Rabu (16/01/13) kemarin, sampai hari ini, Jakarta lagi gak bersahabat banget cuacanya. Banjir di mana-mana, menyebabkan macet total di banyak tempat. Banjir bervariasi tingginya antara 20 - 500 cm. Aku sendiri gak bisa sekolah sejak hari Rabu karena akses jalan raya ke sekolah tergenang banjir sepinggang... Untunglah kemarin dan hari ini, sekolahku meliburkan murid-muridnya... Jadi aku bisa tenang di rumah tanpa harus mikirin ketinggalan pelajaran... intinya ayo berdoa buat Jakarta.. berdoa bukan hanya agar banjir cepet surut aja, tapi berdoa biar pemimpinnya sadar kalo Jakarta butuh dibenahi secepetnya, megaproyek Deep Tunnel cepet direalisasiin. Lalu juga berdoa agar rakyat Jakarta dan sekitarnya sadar kalo banjir ini semua akibat mereka yang suka buang sampah sembarangan... dan karena sebagian kecil orang yang mau gampangnya aja itu, satu kota Jakarta kena akibatnya. #PrayForJakarta

*kembali ke topik*

Itulah cerita dibalik giveaway ini. Sekali lagi thank you buat yang berpartisipasi. Tanpa kalian, giveaway ini takkan berjalan. Memang tidak semua dapat memenangkan giveaway ini, tapi kalian semua adalah pemenang di hatiku ;) Inilah pemenangnya . . .






Selamat ya! Cek inbox email kalian, Aku udah kirim e-mail konfirmasi pemenang dan meminta alamat kalian untuk pengiriman hadiah :)

Untuk Mystery Giftnya, haduh aku bingung karena banyak banget yang komentarnya bagus. Mulai dari ngasih wejangan 17 tahun yang berguna, komentar yang kata-katanya lucu, sharing pengalaman pas mereka sweet seventeen, bikin puisi, dan quotes. Semuanya aku baca satu per satu, tapi karena bingung banget, aku baca itu sampai 3 kali. Ada 5 komentar yang paling menarik buatku:

Wow... Happy Birthday GF..!! ^^
It's great to have your sweet 17 celebrated. I envy that you can celebrate it at The House Of Chocolate.. :( Wish you've invited me. Hahahaha *slapped*

I've created a quotes for you Hope you like it.. ^^
The greatest gift that you can give to others is the gift of unconditional love and acceptance.

And once again Happy Bithday..!! >.<" GBU

From : Vella Febriani

wahh sweet seventeen!!
waktu dulu ulang tahun yang ke 17 pas banget aku kecelakaan motor, jadi terpaksa di rayain di rumah sakit :-(
Itupun dalam satu hari gak ada yang ngucapin met ultah sama sekali *poooorrrrrr me*
semoga usia 17 bisa jadi gerbang untuk pendewasaan kamu, jadi 17 tahun bukan berarti bebas ngelakuin segalanya, tapi tetap hars bertanggung jawab sama semua kuputusan yang nanti kamu ambil *aduh berasa tua*

From: Conietta Vyonella

Happy sweet 17th dear.. hahaha..
wihh era semakin maju, kirim undangan lewat sosmed? Kreatif juga.. bener2.. go green. save earth.. haha.. Semoga semakin bertambahnya usia kamu, kedewasaan km juga semakin bertambah. seiring juga dengan tanggung jawabnya.

house of chocholate looks so yummy gitu yahh.. berasa pingin ambil tuh coklat lewat foto.
Lol. Wahh kalo liat foto km gini, jadi inget ultah sweet 17th ku juga..
Pasti km berasa seneng banget akhirnya umur 17. haha.. secara kalo masih kecil srg dibilang,"nggak boleh ini itu belom 17th". Tapi ntar setelah lewat umur itu bener2 g pingin nambah tua.. lol..

once again, happy birthday dear...wishing you all the best. Gbu

From: Sonya Selly

Cieeee, sweet seventeen ya? Jadi ingat masaku beberapa tahun lalu, berasa paling happy di usia segitu. Hihi, pertanda bakal dapat KTP, boleh nyari SIM, boleh keluar malam :P
Selamat bertambah usia ya, makin dewasa gak boleh cengeng loh :D

Kesan pertama membaca postingan ini ialah ... mupeng! Aku suka Magnum, dan kue (eh salam, es krim) ultahnya yummy banget! Lilinnya taruh mana ya? Kalau tahun di dekatnya kan meleleh, terus acara tiup lilinnya dihilangkan dong? Sayangnya ... :(

Senang sekali teman-teman antusias datang. Karena solidaritas kan? bukan karena lokasinya yang pasti berhidangkan santapan istimewa? :P Kok aku ak diundang, sih? Jahat, jahaaat :'(

Hei, maaf ya gak bisa kasih kado. Cuma bisa kasih ini:

Puisi buat yang lagi ulang tahun:

Aku bukan pujangga
Penggores kata dan menyihirnya
Membuatmu terpana
Lalu senyum bahagia di air muka

Aku hanya seorang teman
Mengucap bila kau berkenan

“Selamat bertambah usia
Moga hidupmu selalu bahagia

Selamat menempuh hidup baru
Sebab usia perlambang waktu

Kian detik kau kian dewasa
Semangatlah menggapai asa!”

yey!
Selamat ulang tahun, Sista Helena ^^
Be greatest for your family yah.

Tanggal 25 ini aku juga ulang tahun loh :p

From: Arga Litha
*P.S.: Ini komentar terpanjang yang pernah aku terima selama blogging. Thank you ya! hihihi^^

Sorry telat ngasih ucapannya ya Helena...

Wow, unik banget perayaan ultahmu, karena semua dikeliling coklat dan es krim. Suka sama temanya. Suasana tempat juga unik.

Btw, selamat Ulang Tahun ya dear..
Aku berdoa, supaya kamu bertambah dewasa. Dengan kedewasaanmu kamu bisa menentukan pilihan yang terbaik dalam hidupmu. Sebuah pilihan dapat menentukan langkahmu ke arah yang positif/negatif. Maka jangan lupa dengan orang-orang sekelilingmu, tertutama Keluarga dan teman-teman terbaikmu. Dari dukungan merekalah kamu bisa mencapai cita-citamu. Dari hal kecil dulu misalnya menetukan tempat dan jurusan kuliah nanti.

Wish u all the best ya dan Tuhan memberkatimu setiap kamu melangkah. Jadi jangan lupa memiliki waktu senggang untuk berdoa dan ketempat beribadah.

From: Belliani Bebe

... Tarik napas sebentar... Lanjut copas lagi...

Happy birthday! (gapapa telat daripada ga sama sekali XD)
wah udah lama aku ga ke magnum cafe >_< setelah baca post ini rasanya pengen ke sana lagi hehehe

foto-foto dari temenmu lucu-lucu banget haha. jadi inget dulu aku ulang tahun ke-17 justru malah sengaja ga dirayain :p males aja. tapi jadi sayang juga kalau liat orang ngerayain --a yah yang penting perubahan diri jadi lebih dewasa aja hehehe :)
yang paling menyenangkan ketika ulang tahun memang adalah dikelilingi teman dan keluarga ya. rasanya senang kalau ada orang-orang yang kita sayangi ada di sana ^^

semoga dengan bertambahnya usia kamu jadi pribadi yang semakin dewasa dan matang buat menghadapi dunia luar ya hehehe aduh jadi berasa sok tua aku hahahahaha :p soalnya berasa banget udah kuliah kangen temen-temen sma, apalagi momen-momen acara pesta ulang tahun gini.

selagi muda, nikmati setiap momen yang ada hehehe ini selalu aku ingetin ke diri sendiri juga :)
have a nice weekend!

Happy Sweet Seventeenth Birthday, fellas! My schoolmate + blog fellas, Ellyzabeth Tanaya from Lisa and Her World is officially 17 years old on 10th November 2012. All the best for you, Lisa! She invited me to attend her birthday lunch on Samudera Suki, Taman Anggrek Mall, one day after her 17th birthday.


I was really excited with this lunch because I met Vania Aprilia from Pudding Monster! This is my first ever blogger meet up, actually I've arranged to meet Vania on last summer holiday, but due to our different schedules, so we postponed it. And ta-ra! finally I met her :D I haven't talked much with her but I know she's a cheerful person from our little conversation eye-to-eye. See you again (soon), Vania!


Sorry guys for my M.I.A. these recent weeks. I've been really busy with school, my scores, my courses and GLOWINpassfour! Yes, my school's cup, GLOWINpassfour has ended. But it had given lots of memories. I'll share with you about the fantastic and glowing cup's closing on next post. FYI, the cup's closing is on 10th November! same with Lisa's birthday, hohoho. So wait for it! (and my beauty giveaway will start on early December, wait for it too!)

Hello readers!

I'm having a long weekend right now, because I'm free until next Wednesday, my mid-term holiday :D Not really free actually, some tasks and holiday project are waiting to be done.. *sigh*

Today's post title was inspired from "Happy-Go-Lucky", a famous movie title. I change Lucky into Girly because this look might be the most girly look I've ever post until now.. I rarely wear skirt, I feel more comfortable in shorts/pants.

Last week, after finishing mid-term exam, some friends and me went to Grand Indonesia mall. I love this mall, it has lots of beautiful corner to take some snap, hehehe :p

I wear collar necklace from Romwe actually, but after my friend took some pics of me, the chain of this collar necklace broke. Ugh, bad luck for me. That's why in half of this post, I didn't wear the collar necklace :(

However I was so happy, to have a chance sharing a day at Grand Indonesia with my best friends. It was great enough to pay my-bad-luck about the collar necklace! lol. I'm not lucky, but I'm happy and I'm girly on that day ;)


- Details:
Pink top: unbranded
Collar necklace: Romwe
Bag: OASAP
Purple Skirt: Orange
Watch: Revel
Mustache bracelet: from Lisa's giveaway
Flats: Yongki Komaladi

Hello!

First I wanna thank all people on my last post who cheering me up and give support to me :) Sorry I haven't had the right time to blog-walk and replying each one of your comments. But I promise that every comment on this blog, will be replied by me, sooner or later.

These first days being on Science class are crazy and hectic. That's what I feel right now. No other comments. High School are pretty tiring, but the real life (college/university then go to work) after this phase looks more tiring. I start to wonder, "What if we woke up, as a baby, and our whole life had been a dream?" (idea from @Autocorrects on twitter) That will be SO AWESOME! hahaha.. yah, unfortunately it's just impossible :( I just miss my old memories on primary school. The routine isn't as insane as this. *sigh* No matter how, I should try to love the activities and daily routine at school. School is cool!









By the way, the winner of my OASAP silk dress giveaway is....



the winner is picked randomly by Oasap. Congratulation Francesca! Please claim your gift before 31st July 2012 by replying e-mail that Oasap has been sent to you. For others, cheer up, more giveaways is coming soon :)


Have a nice day, and for those who are in high school (just like me), keep fighting and do your best!
