Next Destination : Bangka

You know la my favourite things to do is: TRAVELLING!! Yeah better die than life without travel! 

Berhubung adek gw sekarang kerja di Bangka, dan kemaren liat temen dapet tiket promo cuman 110rb PP, mupenggg gw kesana T____T

1. Bukit Fathin San

2. Pantai Tanjung Pesona

3. Pantai Pasir Padi

4. Taman Teratai Dewi Kuan Yin
5. Pantai Parai (Ini pantai terbaik di pulau bangka!) 

6. Bangka Botanical Garden (BBG)

7. Museum Timah

8.Bukit Manumbing

Untuk kuliner:
Kuliner :
1. Tung Tau - ini warung kopi khas pulau bangka, banyak banget di jumpai di Sungai Liat dan Pangkal Pinang
2. Mie Koba - mie ini pakai kuah ikan, jadi yang baru pertama kali makan biasanya enek. Agak kurang pas di lidah orang Jawa. Hahahha
3. Pempek & martabak - ini ajib!
4. Otak-otak amui 

Water Fuse BB Cream Dr. Jart+

Not Medicine - It's Derma Cosmetics

Their statement provocate me into trying their new BB Cream:

Water Fuse BB Cream Dr. Jart+

It's one of Korean cosmetics again even unlike its competitor that have cute and girly packaging, they prefer being simple and elegant.

Their price is kinda expensive in the BB Cream $36 in sephora, and IDR 485.000 in Lotte DS Jakarta.

Claimed to be BB Cream for dark skin and for dry skin I keep trying though my skin color is fair and oily -____-

Here their looks: 

Even they looks thick but they not thick at all. They are light just like a lotion in my skin. And they blend pretty fast and my skin looks more healthy.

I like the result of Dr. Jart+ BB Cream 

I think this BB Cream is pretty clear so they 

will suit any of your skin colour from fair to tan :)

Another plus side is they have SPF25 to protect us under the sun

It's worth trying..But not sure will repurchase or not.

When I finish this must be another new brand has come out.

Yeah cosmetic industry grows so fast! :p

Marina 24h Beauty Challenge

Hah? Maksudnya?

Tantangan 24jam hanya dengan sekali oles hand body? Masak sih bisa? 

Biasanya sih…. 

Bentar2….aku itung dulu….:

1.    Abis mandi pageee

2.    Di kantor, sekitar jam 10an, pas santé-sante

3.    Jam 3 sore di kantor juga

4.    Jam 6 an abis mandi soreee

5.    Jam 9an iseng2 pas mau bobo, kalo inget :p

Banci hand body beneran gw. Sehari bisa 5 kali.  Karena gw merasa butuh sih…secara gw kerja di ruangan ber-AC, butuh kelembaban ekstra, apalagi kondisi cuaca dingin, bikin kulit kering, musti sering-sering pake Hand body.

Well, tapi yang namanya tantangan tertarik dong ya gw-nyaaaa….. coba deh, terasa kering gak kulitnya..

Marina ini Hand body yang aku kenal pertama. Jaman nyokap masih muda nih... emang brand ini udah 30tahun berkecimpung di dunia Hand Body.

Dulu sih gw gak suka dengan hand body Marina. Encerrrr kalo gw bilang.

Tapi sejak 2013, Marina hadir dengan inovasi baruuuuu. Ga cuman packagingnya aja, tapi teksturnya juga, variannya juga.

Ada 3 varian Marina ini:

1. Natural

Natural ini ada 4 macem:  

Marina Natural 24h Nourished and Healthy dengan ekstrak Almond

Marina Natural 24h Protects and Cares dengan ekstrak Apple

Marina Natural 24h Rich Moisturizing dengan ekstrak Avocado

Marina Natural 24h Smooth and Glow dengan madu dan vitamin C

2.  UV White

UV White diperkaya dengan SPF 15, serian ini khusus untuk yang sering berada di bawah sinar matahari. Ada 3 macem aroma juga, jadi biar ga bosen, xixixi :p

3.  Total Care

Yang ketiga ada Total Care. Ini diperkaya dengan ekstrak Pomegranate. Untuk orang2 yang sensi dengan faktor U. Ciyehh meremajakan kulit jeng, boleh tuh ^_^

Varian Marina yang kupilih menjalani sesi CHALLENGE 24 HOURS adalah:

Jeng jengggg......

"MARINA NATURAL

PROTECTS AND CARES"

Diperkaya dengan ekstrak Apel sebagai sumber antioksidan, membantu melindungi kulit dari pengaruh buruk lingkungan. Dilengkapi Sunscreen untuk melindungi kulit dari paparan sinar matahari

Meskipun kerja di ruang ber-AC, tapi posisiku dekat jendela, jadi tetap terkena sinar matahari walaupun tidak langsung. Kalo yang kerja outdoor, mungkin bisa pakai yang UV White.

RITUAL:                                                                                                                                 

Jam 6 PAGI – Abis mandi mulai deh pake hand body Marina Natural ini, wanginya lembut, subtle, tapi ga menusuk ^_^

Jam 10 PAGI - Udah 4 jam nih, biasanya udah gatel pengen pake hand body lagi >.< Udah ga kecium sih wanginya dari jauh, tapi kalo dicium dari jarak deket masih kecium wanginya *cium-cium tangan sendiri*

Jam 3 SORE – Udah 9 jam. *pegang-pegang tangan sendiri* masih lembab, still OK

Jam 6 SORE – Pas mandi sore sih masih berasa enakan kulit ini masih kenyal, ga kering. Coba ah dibawa bobok

Jam 6 PAGI – Udah 24 Jam nih, biasanya bagian siku udah kering kalo lupa pake handbody...

Tapi ini beneran masih lembab. Agak kaget juga sih, melihat harga Hand Body Marina kan murah banget tuh, ga nyangka kalo kualitasnya tahan 24 jam. 

Melihat hasilnya yang Oke, aku saranin temen-temen buat pake juga, 

cowok juga bisa dong, 

sekarang udah ga jaman cowok dekil ^^

Cocok banget dibawa kalo lagi travel-an, kan ga mungkin travelan sambil pake hand body mulu setiap waktu retouch. 
Pake Marina lebih hemat, lebih efisien.

Everland and Lotteworld

What is the best amusement park in Seoul? Everland or Lotteworld?

Answer is depend : weather..Everland is outdoor, Lotteworld is indoor themepark. 

1. EVERLAND 

If the weather allows, I suggest you to go Everland for its always renew their flower decoration according to the seasons. 

One day was not enough being in the 4th largest theme park in the world. But I’d like to share with you my happy experiences by giving information on how to get there, how to save money, and how to have a blast in Everland.

How to get there? 
There are many ways to get to Everland. You may check out their website and plot the nearest and most convenient way from your starting point but for us, we used the subway + bus because it’s faster and cheaper than tours.

Leave early from your area and go to Gangnam Station (Subway Line 2), exit at #10. Then, walk straight around 200m and look for the bus stop. NOTE! Remember the landmark around the bus stop so you will not get lost upon return.

Take bus no. 5002 to Everland. When you enter the bus, you can pay using T-money or cash for around 2,200 won. If you chose to use T-money, make sure to “scan” again your card when going down. Travel time is about 40-50 mins.

Go down at Everland bus station (big parking lot) and transfer to Everland’s FREE shuttle service. Travel time from the station is about 5 mins. and the shuttle will drop you off exactly at the entrance of the park.

When going back, follow the same route. Be mindful that you should ride the bus 5002 going to Gangnam not bus 5002 going to the next destination after Everland. Ask the driver if the route is going back to Gangnam before riding. You should also check the LED signs above the bus if in doubt. When you’re in Gangnam get off the bus once you see the landmarks from your starting point. You can always tell the driver to inform you when you will go down, I’m sure he will gladly do it for tourists.

Operating Hours: 09:30-22:00 (Mon-Sat) / 09:00-22:00 (Sunday & Holidays) *but some rides end around 6-7 pm.

Admission Fees: * One-day Pass- Daytime: Adults 40,000 won (Php 1,600) / Teenagers 34,000 won / Children 31,000 won 

* Admission Ticket (no rides)- Daytime: Adults 33,000 won (Php 1,320) / Teenagers 28,000 won/ Children 25,000 won 

BUT! You can get almost 10% discount by printing the group discount coupon (4 pax per coupon). This is available for foreigners only so go ahead and print screen all you want by clicking this link here!

Everland is one of the most popular places in Korea for families, friends, and couples. It is the home of over 40 heart-pounding rides and attractions and it is divided into five sections: American Adventure, Magic Land, European Adventure, Zoo Topia and Roller Coasters, in addition to the Global Fair. There are tons of rides to choose from but here are some of the recommended activities for you to try:

Indoor Activities: Pororo 3D adventure, Global Village, Spooky Fun House, Mystery Mansion, Rotating House, Space Tour, Safari World, Animal Wonder Stage and Friendly Monkey Valley

Exciting Zoo: Bird Paradise, Animal Wonder Stage, Petting Zoo and Safari World where white tigers, tigers, lions and bears roam around freely, providing guests with an up-close look at these amazing TRAINED creatures (Yes, trained like a dog! haha the bear can wave Aneyeong and can twirl like a ballerina--say wuuut?!!)

Thrill Rides: Hurricane, Double Rock Spin, Let’s Twist, Rolling X-Train, T Express, Flume Ride, Columbus Adventures and Championship Rodeo

Quick Facts about T Express: With a 77-degree incline, "T Express" is the steepest wooden roller coaster in the world, as of March 2011. The South Korea attraction reaches a top speed of 64.6 miles per hour and is 183 feet and 9 inches tall. "T Express" was opened in March 2008, and the track is just over a mile long.

Fantastic Fairyland: Racing Coaster, Ball House, Magic Swing, Aesop’s House & Fable Garden, Peter Pan, Flying Elephant, Royal Jubilee Carousel etc...

Everland is also known for its gorgeous flower arrangements and beautiful gardens, which have been year-round fixtures since the Rose Festival in 1985. When we went there, the tulip garden was closed in preparation for the Tulip festival which unfortunately happened the day after we went there. But try to catch their Rose festival (May-June), Summer Splash (June-Sep), Happy Holloween (Sep-Oct) and Winter Wonderland (Nov-early Mar) festivals.

2.LOTTEWORLD

How to get there? 
Going to Lotte World is very easy. Ride the subway going to Jamsil Stn. then exit at #4. Look for the signs going to Lotte World. You will know that you’re in the right place if you see the big replica of Trevi Fountain inside the complex—a photo opportunity where you feel like you’re in two places at once haha Rome meets Seoul :)

Fees: Passport (free access to all facilities including Folk Museum): Adult 40,000 won, Teen 35,000 won, Children 31,000 won

Admission (no rides but free performance viewing): Adult 25,000 won, Teen 22,000 won, and Children 19,000 won

Note: Click this link for more information about ticket price. 1) Tickets can be bought next to the entrance of Lotte World. 2) Free admission for children under age 3. 3) For those who plan to stay all day, passport tickets will be the most convenient to buy. 4) But if you plan to visit Lotte World after 4 pm, take advantage of the evening discounted tickets. You can still have enough time to enjoy the rides because it closes at around 10 pm.

BUT WAIT THERE’S MORE! You can get over 50% off discount on your passport tickets with the help of the “Scalpers”. Yes, you read that right! Scalpers! And it’s not only in Araneta concert shows or UAAP games where you can encounter them but also in a first world country like Korea haha.

However, word of caution, buying tickets to these scalpers can be very risky especially to foreigners with language barrier. We were lucky because we had our “in-house” Korean translator, my boyfriend, and he was the one who negotiated with the scalpers. But if you are a brave soul and you are sure that you can negotiate clearly with these scalpers then go ahead. To spot them: go near the entrance or establishments around the Lotteria fast food (few meters away from the entrance). Surely, there will be someone who’ll approach you with tickets on hand. Try to ask about it but as a rule of thumb, always insist on paying the tickets once you’re already inside Lotte World entrance (at least). No cash outs until you receive the tickets okay?

There’s so much to do in LotteWorld. It is the world’s largest indoor theme park and it is also regarded as a city within a city because of its complex life town (CLT) features. Practically, it’s tourism, leisure activities, shopping, cultural events and sports all in one place. The theme park is divided into two parts—indoor or called Adventure Land with 4 levels and outdoor or Magic Island where the horrifying rides are located.
