Sorbet Colors

Hello, Summer!

Well, technically, it's whole-year summer right here in Indonesia, but hey, nobody's complaining. ;) Anyway, Summer is identical to hot, humid weather (which of course, is one of our country's trademarks), and what's the best way to adjust to it? Cold stuffs~~!!! Say, like, a glass of Freshly Squeezed Lemonade, a refreshing portion of Zaru Soba and of course, a cone of Ice Cream or even better, a scoop of Sorbet!

True to the title, on today's outfit post, I'm wearing Sorbet-colored clothes. From the grape toned outerwear, raspberry striped top to the minty green skirt, they all look and feel very summery to me XD ~All of them are also very lightweight, just perfect for this Summer's outdoor activities. 

Put together bright lenses and bright lips to complement the whole look.

Outfit: GOWIGASA Bold Vertical Top | GOWIGASA Silky Flare Skirt (upcoming collection's) | GOWIGASA Studded Belt Mocha | GOWIGASA Lilac Chiffon Outerwear | GOWIGASA Milk Envelope Bag / Clutch (upcoming collection's) | Hat & Shoes are from Japan

Woof vs. Meow

Just-for-fun personality test!

Are you a dog person or a cat person?

I believe we are a bit of both but usually leaning towards one more than the other, right?

For me, I am leaning towards cat and so is Jess (I guess that's why we are so compatible– in addition to our well-matched zodiacs!).

So, how do you know which type are you?

*scrolls :D*

Cat people are 11% more likely to be introverts and less likely to be active joggers or bikers.

Dog people are 15% more likely to be extroverts and 36% more likely to be very active outdoors.

Cat people are more likely to enjoy ironic humor and puns.

Dog people are more likely to enjoy slapstick humor and impressions.

Cat people are more likely to wait for technology to prove itself before buying.

Dog people are more likely to be early adopters.

Cat people are more likely to prefer individual competition over team competition.

Dog people are split evenly on whether they prefer individual or team competition (50-50).

Cat people are generally more neurotic; however, they are also more "open" than dog people. Open to experiencing new things, to hold 'unconventional beliefs' or to unusual ideas that is, thus it allows them to be more creative but also getting painted as "weirdos."

Dog people tend to have more conventional or traditional interests.

Dog people are more agreeable and extroverted, which make them more sociable than Cat people.

Dog people are also more conscientious.
"Conscientiousness" is a tendency to show self-discipline, to complete tasks, and aim for achievement.

Cat people are people who value their own time, enjoy doing things on their own, and want to be able to spontaneously take off for a weekend and such.

They are also more independent than Dog people; just like cats who don't need walks, don't need you to let them out to pee, and don't fall into a depression if you won't play with them.

A cat person doesn't really like to bond with many people. They might even give the impression of arrogance, while in fact they are just shy and passive, and they feel like they need to know you first before you can be friends. You have to earn their trust. That's why cat people tend to only have a few close friends that they are comfortable with.

As for me, the closest people in my life consist of both dog and cat person, and my BFF is totally a dog person (opposite attract?) ☺

I'm a cat person who is in love with a dog.

Which type of person are you? Share them below! : )

Hyde the Puppy

Hyde (Japanese pronounciation: Hai-doh) is a Kintamani-Labrador puppy whom our brother got from his friend when he was already 3 months old. Here's a brief story about how we got him in the first place. Christian (our brother's friend) said that his dad wanted to slaughter Hyde and made him a Satay for God's sake. He then became a hero and offered our bro the puppy! Kind of Fate because at that time our brother was looking for one, and we ourselves have never even thought about having a puppy before because we live in an apartment and we thought a dog would be too much to handle, BUT one day Hyde just came into our life. Like a boss. :')

He is blond and he has very soft, cotton-like hair! Mad love it when:

• He strolls around and his hair touches our feet coincidentally
• He stops whatever he's doing to make an eye contact with us (and of course going back to whatever he's doing but nevermind lah)
• He feels tired and he will immediately lay down like a rug
• He chooses to sleep beside us, curled-up!
• He licks our face like there is no tomorrow (a big lick to the face is a sign of affection and closeness - googled)!

With Hyde, our days have been filled with "Aww..." "Ohhh..." and so on.

Oh, we just love him so much!
