How To Cut Off Your Friend With Benefits (Without Any Hard Feeling)

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

I’ve been quite productive lately to the point that I feel like I’ve got a lot of things to write. Yeah, despite the fact that I haven’t completed my post for Borneo trip series. That, until I realized that it’s been a while since I wrote some rants on dating topic.

So, here’s the thing… One of the posts with the highest rank on Google is the one about fuck buddies. I’m not exactly proud of my accomplishment in this case, but now I realized what kind of post that triggers my potential out there. And for exactly the same reason, this time I’ll talk again about fuck buddies. Or friend with benefits, if you prefer.

Well, you might as well come with a new vocabulary as in flirtationship. But whatever, this time I’m going to share with you some tips on how to cut them off. And for the love of God, how to do it without any hard feeling.

Which could be hard, given the fact that sometimes you catch feeling somewhere. But anyway…

Dirty Thirty Mixtape: 30 Theme Songs of My 30th Year Living in This World

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

In case you didn’t know, last Monday was my 30th birthday. If you remember that episode of Friends where everybody turned 30, well… I gotta admit that it was only a little stressful.

Like honestly, I didn’t think much about how old I am now. I think much about how I am 30 and still not rich enough to buy stuff without checking the price. But anyway…

So, in this opportunity, marking the early days of my dirty thirty, I’m creating a mixtape of the songs that basically sum up my life in the past 30 years. And just so you know, I’m no longer 30 and single. Just 30.

12 Couple Travelers Who Spark Joy To Your Traveling Plan With Your Partner

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

Happy Valentine’s Day, folks! 😀

If I usually spent Valentine’s day alone, being single and miserable, then this year it’s different. Well, technically I’m not single but then again I’d still spend my Valentine’s day alone since my boyfriend is in Singapore.

But then again, let me throw some mushy stuff to you in case you feel miserable just because you’re far away from your partner on this Valentine’s day: 14 February doesn’t really matter when you’re with the right partner. Why? Because you don’t need a special day to celebrate love. You could always celebrate love everyday. Or hate, for that matter. 😛

I mean, we agree that as much as you love your partner, there is some stuff about them that makes you want to rip their neck sometimes.

Anyway, since I’ve just jumped into the bandwagon to plan out a vacation with my boyfriend… I’m checking out some other couple travelers to get some inspo about traveling with my partner. And I decided to list the 12 of my favorites on the day of love. Yeay!

What Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

This is such a typical question that a potential employer may ask in most companies based in Indonesia. Like, it’s so common that I can’t remember a job interview that leaves this question alone.

Speaking of the question, I remember 10 years ago when I turned 20, I made some crappy note on Facebook talking about some expectation that I had in 5 years. Some have turned into reality, when some other let’s just say we got buried it into the ground. 😛

And well, it’s already Aquarius season lately and if there’s anything that you need to know, then it is the fact that I’m counting down the days to the day I turn 30. I figure, maybe I should make a post like 10 years ago: some scrap about how I want to see myself in 5 years.

7 Songs That I’m Going to Play on My Wedding Day

Posted on by Marya The BeauTraveler

I’m a hopeless romantic.

No matter how much I claim myself as a strong and independent woman who doesn’t need any man in my life, I still have a small dream about marrying the love of my life at some point in my life. I’m a bit surprised how I’m still single when I’m almost 30 when really I thought I’d be married by 11-12-13.

11th of December 2013, 5 years have passed and I’m still here. Single as fuck. RIP Expectation.

You know what’s the sad part about not throwing my own wedding party? Not having my wedding songs played.
