WHAT IS LYF!!!

Halo everybodyyy, how you doin?

Well. I am just busy with my final thesis so i am sorry for late post hehe. Actually I dont know if there is anybody who read this blog every week not only when I wrote about LGBT which is surprisringly soo much people out the who read my writing ( It’s just because i was spreading it to all of my social media lol!)

So on this post I wanna share with you my all time favorite vegetarian or vegan product that is always on my pantry means I bought it frequently like i cant live without that lol. Soooo without further to do lets start!

• Carbs area

So basically, i always buying and stock any carbs. I have never forget to buy a bread everytime I go to supermarket. And then Pasta!!!!! Who  doesnt love pasta, gosh i could make anything with pasta either fussili or spaghetti. Mamamia! The next is cereal like O.M.G its just like my new addiction!!!!!!!! I combine the 2 cereals and its just like bomb! CARB IS MY LYF I CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT CARB!!!!

•  Tomato sauce

Like can you live without sauce or sambal in your life? I cant because I am an Indonesian #ProudIndonesian. Actually I really want to try sriracha but I dont know we will see. I have read some good comment about sriracha so why not trying something new.

• Peanut Butter

Who doesnt love this? My favorite is from Morin and chunky one. I dont know i just love food which still has a texture on it and I told you when you toast the bread and spreading the peanut butter it is just oh my God!!!! Or try to eat that with nanas. And you are welcome :P

•    BANANA

-NO NEED A REASON TO NOT LOVE BANANA-

• NORI

          Maybe i am a weirdo but i put nori most on my food, because why not

• TOFU

GOSH GOSH I CAN NOT LIVE A SINGLE DAY WITHOUT EATING A TOFU. Like tofu is my bae, seriously. I will be feeling weird if i am not eating tofu a day. I prefer tofu than tempeh because idk men, no need a reason to love something.

• CITRUS

Either its lemon or orange or just vitamin C, i will consume it  every  single day. I prefer citrusy fruit rather than sweet fruit like apple. I love the smell, taste, it is just refreshing. Haha. You dont believe I love citrus that much? My air freshner smell lime and orange and lemon, my body shower smells lemon, my pestiside smells lemon.

Soooo, I think that’s it for today, i hope you like my post and try some of those stuff. Bye Bye and please keep reading my blog. Thank You!

WEEK 17: VEGETARIAN FOOD HACKS

Hai!

Currently on my KKN lyf... First week such a disaster for me.

It's been 17th weeks being vegetarian. Jadi sekarang ini gue lagi kkn, atau kuliah kerja nyata selama 35 hari di Desa Candi, Bandungan.

Karena harus adaptasi sama lingkungan dan teman baru, jadilah gue introduce I'm a vegetarian i dont eat meat, fish, chicken, meatball or whatever you asked, and rarely eat eggs. Then, sistematika di kelompok adalah semua anggota harus masak untuk makan teman satu kelompok. Jadilah gue yang mengurangi ke-egoisan gue dengan terserah mereka mau masak apa karena gue gak pengen mereka hilang kreatifitasnya cuma karena gue gak makan daging dan sejenisnya.

VEGETARIAN PROGRESS : WEEK 16 ( CHOOSE CRUELTY FREE)

Well, Hi!

Nggak kerasa banget udah 4 bulan being vegetarian, and everybody around me now knows that i am no longer eat meat and their products ( except egg and dairy, which i dont eat them everyday tho )

So, anyway being a vegetarian is a lifestyle not only about the food but also about the products that I use everyday which is free animal cruelty or not. 

So here it is, I wanna talk about what is animal cruelty free, animal tested, and what is the difference.

Animal Testing :

Operation on a living animal for experimental rather than healing purposes; more broadly, all experimentation on live animals",although dictionaries point out that the broader definition is "used only by people who are opposed to such work".The word has a negative connotation, implying torture, suffering, and death.The word "vivisection" is preferred by those opposed to this research, whereas scientists typically use the term "animal experimentation". ( Wikipedia : Animal Testing )

In short, you use non-human animal to test some product before it launched to the public. 

Animal Cruelty Free :

Its an opposite of animal testing, the product is against animal testing. They dont use or tested their product to animal, yet can be tested to human. 

So, here is the list of the animal friendly products that you can easily find in Indonesian drugstore :

- The Body Shop

- Original Source

- Lush ( Order it online its vegan friendly )

- Wardah

- Mustika Ratu

- La Tulipe

- Inez

Or you can easily find the Halal symbol on your products. If it has Halal logo on it we can pretty much assume that its not contained an animal inside. Or simply choose the product that made from herbs or nature. 

You dont have to be vegan or vegetarian to see the truth about animal testing industry, if you are a human and have a sense of humanity you will not buy this products. It doesnt mean I am mocking these product and asking you to stop buying this products, but please minimize the use of the animal testing products. Animal is our friend, we live in a same place and there is no law that said human is better than anything in this world, we are all an animal either, what make us different with other animal is we can think properly, we have intelligence , and we can use it to control what we should and should not do. And by the way, friend doesnt eat friend right? 

VEGETARIAN PROGRESS WEEK 9 : SUSHI TEI VEGETARIAN OPTION!! (VEGETARIAN FOOD REVIEW (1))

Helloooowwwwwwwwwwww.........

Its me, haha. Welcome welcome to my blog, so I will update about my vegetarian progress, and i will start making vegetarian food review and will update frequently because I love food and I want to help you the new beginner vegetarian where to eat, so without further to do lets get started!

I was at home a few days ago for my short holiday after busy months i couldve said..... and you know my sister doesnt know that i am a vegetarian right now, she was pretty shocked and keep asking why am i being a vegetarian and i guess i dont need to explain to her, because im very tired of people keep asking why am i being vegetarian and bla bla bla i kinda sick of it. So i just said to her "nevermind, im okay" and my mom was thinking that im being a vegetarian just for a temporary but i said im being vegetarian for i dont know when . Funny mom.

So i was spending my day with my family actually just me, mom, and sissy. We were hangout on public holiday to the mall (Duhh Ros!) then we decide to eat sushi. I used to love it but since it uses fish as an ingredient so i dont know what to eat. Then we went to Sushi Tei and surprise guys they have Vegetarian Menu!!!!! ALL PRAISE TO SUSHI TEI!!!!

so here is the menu

I AM SO EXCITED !

So i was eating their Yasai Itame Roll, which is pretty much just veggie tempura and all of the good stuff haha, i like it probably 3/5.

 Next I was eating Kitokuchi Tofu Katsu, its pretty much just deep fried tofu but what i dislike is they use silk tofu which is for me i prefer firm tofu its easier to eat and they have no salt in their tofu so yeah but the sauce is good lil bit salty. Overall 2,5/5. By the way it contained eggs and milk so if you are vegan don eat this. haha

 The last one my favorite one, Vegetarian Miso Soup! Ah if you are mushroom lover like me and love soup then it is a must because of its broth is sooooo good. Oh my good, i could have eat only broth and rice haha. Inside the soup they have few types of mushroom, rice noodle, tofu, and the greens haha. Its 4/5 because its sooo filling and warming your body. 

So that is for me, i hope you like my post because id love to do this, reviewing food or sharing a recipes. So see you in the next post!

Eat right, and say no to cruelty on your food!

Vegetarian Progress (WEEK 3)

Helloooowwww....

its been 3rd weeks of my vegetarian lifestyle, i must admit that this is not easy as i think but on the other side its easy lol its confusing...

TBH im still craving for fried chicken stuff and meatball, my weaknesses. But when i think about how they have killed i think twice. Actually its hard to find vegan or vegetarian ingredient in my local store. It must be contained with animals like oyster, chicken broth and anykind like that.

Thats my problem, i dont know if my spices contains animal or not. Blah

But on the other hand i found it easy for example, its easy to find vegan or vegetarian food in Indonesia, it has pecel, gado-gado, ketoprak my love and everything which are animal free!!!!!

But sometimes i got bored with them, so i just cooked sometimes. 

Its hard being vegetarian in dorm when you have no blender to make smoothies or acai bowl and stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its hard to say goodbye with chicken and meat because of i still have them as a food on my mindset and thats wrong, they are not for food, they are our friends. And its just wrong if i eat them. I can control with eggs because of they are bad for my face but not for the chicken. Because every food that im craving for is "chicken flavored" dang!

And then, i still eat chocolate jam, and any kind with milk contained. Tapi kadang-kadang gue makan sesuatu yang mengandung telur kayak kue kue atau mie yang pake telur tapi bukan telur utuh ya cuma jadiin campuran jadi bentuknyaa gak kayak telur ya gitu lah pokoknya hahaha..

Well i feel some benefit of being vegetarian :

1. No acne seriusan muka gue mulus lus lus hahaha

2. Gak gampang capek 

3. Leaner, ehehehe idaman semua wanita yah...

4. Pencernaan lancar car car

Cons of being vegetarian :

1. im having bad craving for ayam goreng, like deadly serious problem. 

2. Cepet laper, dont know why.... jadinya pelariannya nonton mukbang gitu sambil minum aer

Jujur berat banget jadi vegetarian, i dont really enjoy it not in bad way kayak for example i used to treat my self if ive done something big biasanya makan junk food gitulah pokoknya tapi gue gak bisa because ive been commit with this relationship. caelahhhhh

gue belum merubah mindset gue, gue masih pengen makan ayam serius deh. Kalo daging sih no but chicken..... its bad really bad i shouldnt do that.

If only im surrounded by vegan or vegetarian people then my life would be so much easier, thats my hope to find my vegan friends, because i really want to level up to be vegan. 

Thanks for reading
