Hello, welcome back to another monthly highlight. We
have come to another new month. September will be an important month - just
like other months passed. I decided to change the monthly highlight format to
be more minimal and easy to read without too many explanations or words,
because some experiences can’t be explained by the words, you will know it when
you are in it.
I learned that being present is the most important
thing in this world. For years, I have lived in an unconscious pattern and the
same cycles over and over again. This just makes me get the same results again
and again. Everyone will be different, so whenever you are tired of the same
things that always come into your life, you might need to see inside. You might
need to ask this : what habits do I have?
You might need to do something about it, or you do
nothing. Maybe you don’t know what to do, that’s okay too.
I made this monthly highlight in a new format so that
it can be more helpful and easier to track. Psst, I only planned to make it
simpler with fewer words, but I ended up creating all of these graphics. The
spontaneous work is always the best for me.
Disclaimer : all of the products I mentioned are not
sponsored, I bought it myself.
1. Books I Read
A book published from a diary of Jiddu Krishnamurti
around 1961-1962, which he didn’t write to publish it. Some vocabulary is new
for me, yet I can always enjoy any pages I open randomly from this book. There
is always something that can't be spoken about reading this published notebook.
“It was a perfect day; the sky was intensely blue and
everything was sparkling in the morning sun. There were a few clouds floating
about, leisurely, with nowhere to go. The sun on the fluttering leaves of aspen
were brilliant jewels against the green sloping hills. The meadows overnight
had changed, more intense, more soft, a green that is utterly unimaginable.”
(from KRISHNAMURTI'S NOTEBOOK PART 3 GSTAAD,
SWITZERLAND 13TH JULY TO 3RD SEPTEMBER 1961)
A book that has been on my wishlist for a long time,
and I just remembered to finally read it. Another life-changing book for me.
It’s mainly about the moon nodes, which is the aspect I’ve used to be more
likely to abandon. Then I come into understanding why there is this kind of
life for me to live in, then comes the “answer” of looking at life from another
perspective.
“Truth is an energy, not a personal opinion; it
cannot be reached with two concepts struggling against each other to be “right.”
The energy of Truth is accessed through two people who are being open to each
other’s ideas and wanting to find Truth together.”
(from FINDING RESOLUTION)
2. Beauty Product I Emptied
What I like : the ingredients (Tinosorb M, Titanium
Dioxide), affordable price, consistency, moisturizing, easily blended to my
skin
What I like : not drying, the color is suitable for
my skin tone, affordable price
3. Foods I Tried
Mom bought many tomatoes this month, big red sweet
tomatoes. I can eat up to 5 tomatoes, but then I understand that my tummy
doesn’t like too much tomatoes, it results in stomach ache the next morning.
Then I limit it to only one tomato a day, it can keep the doctor away, lol.
Another fruit mom bought was a big sweet fresh
papaya. I haven’t taken any photos of it because it disappeared in a short time
lol everyone loves it, I even ate too much so that my stomach hurt again during
the night lol.
On a peaceful off day, I decided to cook my spaghetti
I bought a long time ago, haha. I have the chili oils from instant noodles, so
I used them. It resulted to a super spicy spaghetti, that made my head spin
around after eating it. Yet my youngest sister ate it enthusiastically without
having a stomachache or anything else.
A co-worker bought some dumplings. I got one, at
first I thought it had strawberry inside because of the red dots on the top of
it to differentiate it from the other fillings, but it was actually a ground
chicken with basil leaves and a bit spicy seasoning. I usually love the filling
more than the dough, but this time I love the dough more. It has something
different, something like vanilla and a light tasty ingredient which I really
love.

6. Quote I Reflect On
“Whenever you are unhappy there is unconscious belief
that unhappiness buys you what you want”
(The Power of Now / Eckhart Tolle)
7. Journal Theme
Takoyaki. I found this theme to be cute and I really
like the red color from this tombow dual brush pen. I never planned to make
this pattern, but it happened accidentally that I ended up creating the whole
pattern that made traces on the title page.
8. New Item I Bought
The reason I chose this tissue is its cute packaging.
There were two types with cupcakes and doughnuts. This packaging reminds me of
Arashi Sweet Club title image.
9. Products I Like
What I like : the smell (super important aspect for a
shampoo for me), doesn’t cause dandruff or hair dryness
What I like : calming my lips after eating too much
pineapples the other day, moisturize my dry lips during these hot sunny days
