MY 2016 BEST NINE ON INSTAGRAM! #2016bestnine

So here are my BEST NINE (aka 9 of the most liked pictures) on my Instagram this year. The first picture generated 13k likes and I was unfollowed by 1k people the next day, if you're Indonesian you'll understand why that happens.

But do I give a flying fuck? No.

NEVER value or try to compare yourself with others just based on the amount of followers & likes you're having. While I am grateful and thankful, I just want to make it clear that earning 5.5 million likes is not the most important thing, it's how you use and connect with your channels, not exactly how big it is.

Thank you for such an amazing 2016! This year has been amazing for travels: finally revisited Australia and Japan, first time to Vietnam, also the year where I push myself more and more in terms of producing good and creative contents, and I am aware that I have to work even harder in 2017, you know that art of 'pushing the boundaries', 'setting the bar', 'starting off' and 'getting what you deserve' that I found beautiful and exciting *wink*.

Now let's cheers to the more awesome & fabulous 2017!!! Any idea where to travel this year? :)

FAT SHOGUN JAKARTA

In the previous post I told you how in the last two months 6 new restaurants opened in Lingkar Mega Kuningan and literally next to Atico, another newly opened Modern-Japanese themed restaurant: Fat Shogun!

ATICO BY JAVANEGRA - JAKARTA

It's just one week away from the start of 2017 and Jakarta's F&B scene, particularly around the CBD-Mega Kuningan area has been growing rapidly good for some time now, in two weeks I have dined at 4 new restaurants in Mega Kuningan, well that's considered a good number for Mega Kuningan standard.

JOINING THE YOUTUBE-SPHERE

Hi everyone! I am now joining YouTube and so far I have uploaded two videos to my channel, and this particular features snippets of my latest autumn trip to Japan!

I was honestly a bit nervous and the not-so-little perfectionist side of me continuously wondered if my video's good enough for YouTube but then I remembered about my first blogging days where I just uploaded everything that I like that, and I should be adapting most of that mindset to match my passion mixed with technical stuff, and since I JUST STARTED then there will be a lot to learn in the future.

My channel will mainly consist of food, travel and blogging related stuff but damn vlogging apparently is not as easy as I imagined it would be and not to mention the long editing hours, I literally studied everything from big zero, but to be honest it's been fun!
Please support my channel by subscribing, and you'll be notified whenever I upload new videos! Thank you guys very much for the kind support!
