Since two months ago, I already beg one Mini Dress ( again) to my hubby, and due to that reason, we visited some of the Mall where I used to buy one.
The problem was not the Items but my body size ( Yes, I am an extra-S woman!). For the Asian Size, I will be fit on Small or Medium Size where for the American or European, I need no size than Extra Small!!
Fortunately, I heard that one of my favorite brand "Minimal" have opened their Boutique in Jakarta ( before, we had to go to Bandung to buy one dress from them) and lucky me, it was in "Citra Land" shopping center which was so near to my flat, so at the opening day, we went there
But I was not lucky as I thought before because their collections for now is available in a " big " size ( even tough I had already gotten the Extra Small One) due to the style or just say the " seasons" that they are having now. So I just said Bye bye to this collections this time, hope that I will find the suitable one ( for me ) next sessions!
Next, we went to my favorite shopping center when I stayed in Sudirman : Ambassador and Plaza Semanggi . Centro in Plaza Semanggi is one of my favorite Department Store but once again I wasn't lucky because their " trends" for now is the " Elegant" party dress where I just looked for a semi casual " Mini Dress".
Then we also went to Plaza Indonesia and Grand Indonesia but what we had was not so different from Centro. Ok, I do love chiffon with floral patterns on it, but please do not make me looked too old with that colors and cuts!
The next destination was Puri Indah Mall which is the nearest Mall from my house ( beside Mall Taman Palem where can't be labeled " Mall" ) there I found one black chiffon mini dress which I liked, but only available in size S/M ( means ; the size S is equal with size M) where it length couldn't be "compromise" with me
Depressed with the conditions, I decided to give up after this recent sessions end. Just hope that the next trends are suitable for me. My hubby tried to cheer me up by buying a short pants for me ( what a nice rewards! Hehe)
But Lucky me, when we went to Daan Mogot Mall ( also near my house) to get my watch fixed, I found a black mini dress at Matahari Department Store. The size was " M" but it was still suitable for me! what a nice surprise after a long and tiring hunting! Thanks God!

"Breaking The Rule" Day
Week End kemarin, bener2 hari "breaking the rule" nya gw. Mulai dari Pantangan untuk ga konsumsi Daging putih en merah, Ngemil sampe "Jam makan" semuanya gw langgar abis..hihihi...
Jadi ceritanya waktu itu kita udah siap2 mau ke keluar, ke suatu tempat, abis sarapan Roti Keju Mayo ( gw juga lagi tergila2 ama Mayo akhir2 ini) Hubby gw tiba2 bersin2 en gejala "alerginya" kambuh lagi, kaya badan mulai meriang en idung mampet, persis kaya orang mau demam.. karna dia juga udah lemes, jadi deh kita ga ga jadi kemana2
Nah, karna lagi meriang gitu, gw pengen kasi makan siang yang anget2 buat hubbyku.. tapi karna hari Minggu kemarin ga belanja en reload isi kulkas, jadi deh nothing to cook. Jalan satu2nya cuma beli di Food Court bawah
So jadi deh gw turun ke bawah dan mesen Soto Ayam Betawi Cabang Tanah Abang yang dari wanginya enak banget..gw pesen 2 porsi pake ayam dimana biasanya gw hanya akan makan pergedel, kerupuk plus "isi" yang lain en suwiran ayamnya dihibahkan ke hubby
Nahh, selama nunggu gw pun ngebeli HappyTos dibawah ( my Second sin) en pas makan siang, ternyata isi sotonya cuma ada pergedel kecil selain Ayam tadi,, jadi deh hubby gw saranin makan ayam aja, daripada cuma makan nasi ama kuahnya..berhubung emang udah laper banget ( mana udara dingin bikin tambah laper) gw makan deh Ayamnya..so pantangan dietgw pun terlanggar sudah..
Abis itu, Happy Tos di atas meja pun manggil2 untuk dinikmatin..once you try, you will get addicted..jadi deh pantangan ngemil ( apalagi gw alergi MSG) pun dilanggar..gatal2??pasttiii..
Next, Malemnya Hubby yang udah baikan bersedia nganterin plus nemenin gw yang pengen motong rambut ( Agenda Bulanan) dan sejak kuliah dulu, gw udah langganan ama Jhonny Andrean, baik yang di Bandung maupun di Jakarta,malah untuk yang di Plaza Semanggi ( tempat tongkrongan masa single) gw udah punya Hair cutter favorit, namanya syapa ya gw lupa, yang pasti dia mirip banget ama Inul, makanya gw panggil Mba Inul..hehe
Nahh berhub udah malem, dan di deket sini juga ada Jhonny, jadi deh kita ke Mall Daan Mogot untuk gunting rambut..sampe sana, abis Gunting, Hubby yang pecinta makanan Jepang udah ngajakin makan di HokBen,,padahal menu di Hokben kan Ayam dan sapi yang bisa gw makan ( karna gw ga makan Sea Food) jadi deh, gw pesen Egg Chicken Roll dapet 5 biji, gw abisin 3 biji...huff..gagal lagi jadi Vegetariannya...makannya malam pula!..
Nah besoknya, mulai deh pencernaan gw terganggu..baru nyadar "Dosa" kesayangan gw udah ga boleh diterusin lagi..so besoknya gw pun tobat, back to the Green ones and malemnya goreng ikan Gurami Goreng Garing aja deh jadinya.,, forget all the Chicken and Beef !!
