Jani Journey Journal

I feel so lucky to be invited to IPPUDO's exclusive tasting event for their 1st ever Chicken Ramen Menu. I mean, seriously! From all IPPUDO's flagship store all across the globe, they chose IPPUDO Indonesia to launch their new menu and I can be the first to try it. In addition to that, this chicken ramen menu isn't available for public until 1st of June 2015. Come on, man! How cool is that?

IPPUDO was found in 1985 at Hakata (Fukuoka) by the famous ramen king, Shigemi Kawahara. It has more than 80 stores in Japan and more than 45 stores all across the globe, including the one at Pacific Place Jakarta. Kawahara's Philosophy, to continously innovate to remain true, has inspired IPPUDO to create the first ever chicken ramen menu that specially made for their customers in Indonesia. And let's keep in mind that they're not just making one chicken ramen menu but two. And again, how amazing is that?

I feel so lucky to be invited to another Zomato Meet Up at Macaroni House back at March. I know I know ... it's been far too long but I just got the chance to write it up and post it here. I've been busy as hell and really haven't got time to open my blog and write a proper review. Not that I neglect this blog, but I rather not to write some review under my standard. Yeah. I'm that perfectionist.

Macaroni House is located at Pesanggrahan street around Puri Indah. It was a small 'ruko' right at the side of the main street. No need to worry about finding this place because they have this red 'Macaroni House' sign in front of them. I feel like a lost people in this particular Puri Indah area as I never went there before. As I look around, there are so many restaurant that I never heard before at Pesanggrahan street, and I'm curious about it. Hmm .. I think I have to come back and have a little walk around there.

Sunday has always been my favorite day. Why? Because every Sunday I could escape my never ending worker life and also my frustrating dentistry co-assistant life. Yes, I'm living a double life as a part-time 6 days a week worker and a full-time 5 days a week student, and it's exhausting. That's why I've been waiting for Sunday all week. It was my kind of stress release day. But most importantly it was the day that I can go out with my family and friends.

My friends and I decided to go to Wu Jang Gun at Wolter Monginsidi. My friend said that the food was pretty good and with a reasonable price also. Reasonable price has always been our number one reason to choose a restaurant. Well ... what more can I say? We are still new to "working world" and we still trying to save some money. Oh! They also one of the halal Korean restaurant. I forgot to ask how halal is their food but I'm pretty sure it was reliable since I saw some MUI (Majelis Ulama Indonesia) Halal's Certificate plaque near the cashier if I'm not mistaken.

Aku mencintaimu karena kamu adalah kamu. Bukan karena apa yang selama ini kamu miliki, bukan karena apa yang telah kamu lalui dan bukan karena apa yang tidak sengaja terjadi. Aku menyayangi kamu apa adanya. Dengan segala sorot mata yang menyimpan pilu, dengan segala perbandingan yang berseru dan dengan segala sakit yang aku tidak tahu. Aku menerima kamu apa adanya. Atas hati yang membeku, atas jiwa yang menyendiri dan pikiran yang kalut. Karena kamu memanglah kamu yang apa adanya aku cinta, aku sayang dan aku terima.

Tapi semuanya tidak pernah semudah itu

Shit.

I know I've been a bad blogger for not writing as often as I should and I really am sorry, hereby I want to ask all of you for some apologies. I skipped the whole April without writing/posting any new post(s) even though I have so many things in my mind to share with. I really really am sorry.

Last month was busy as hell and full of shit in every moments that passed. As long as I remember, April was a month full of tears for me. No, it wasn't tears of joy. Yes, it was tears of sadness, depressions and heart-broken. Even though some great things happened and filled my days with joy and happiness, I still hate April for many unexplainable reasons.

Let's just say the 'Chapter : April' in my life book is closed and it was something that I never want to open or read again. For now let's just pray that May will be much more better in every single aspect.
