My grandpa (from mother's side), Soebardi Dwijosoesanto was a really nice and stern guy. He worked as a headmaster during his working days. His wife, which is my grandma, worked as a teacher in the same school. They worked in a public school. Whenever the children heard his footsteps, they turned quiet. Headmaster's and the teacher's salary in public school isn't big. But he wanted the best for his children. He sent his children to a catholic school. He didn't have much money. One egg, for seven children. My grandpa made SMP-SMA bellarminus. Not made the building. Find the teachers, the curriculum, and others related to that, he was the one who did it. I remember the way he shook hands. His grab was strong. When he retired, he moved to Solo in his village. He was keturunan mbah demang. Mbah demang is like one of the richest guy in the village. I love going to his house. The house wasn't so big, but the land is. He got the place where the villagers gather to discuss something. And he had like a timbul-timbul pictures of the story of Jesus in a wood. And he got this giant Maria statue! I wished I have the picture of it. And he even got church in his house area. It's for praying of course. And I just heard this from my mom, he liked to gather people who's less luckier than him and pray together. I remember his last hours. It was at night. I couldn't sleep because my mom was talking to my grandma loudly on phone. I listened to her conversation. My grandpa died because of a liver cancer. He had been suffering from that disease like 10 years before he died. He didn't do anything with it. I forgot what were they talking about. I remember when my grandma told my mom that he shouted something while sleeping. And a few minutes later he's gone. I'm so glad to know him. He was a great man, a great catholic, and a great teacher. I love you and I miss you :') I know you're fine up there.
I recently fell in love with The Balm's products especially their liquid lipstick, Meet Matte Hughes. Quick review, it's one of the best liquid lipsticks out there. I love liquid lipsticks that have mousse-y texture and doesn't suck the moisture out of my lips. Although it doesn't last as long as some liquid lipsticks I own, it's very comfortable on the lips. The only problem I have is that a lot of online shops sell fake products and claim it as original products. Me being reckless, I fell in the trap and got myself a fake lipstick. This writing is meant to show the difference between the fake and the real Meet Matte Hughes, and to share some tips based on personal experience on how to avoid getting fake products. During the holiday I purchased The Balm Committed in an online shop on Instagram (IG: cathydolla now seoulshopping - this online shop changed their name 3 times since I purchased the fake lipstick ). I've been eyeing on Committed and Adoring and dec...
