Nindia's Letters

Hiyaa!

How are you guys doing? Having fun on the weekends? Or are you dealing with unfinished errands? Well, I got an exciting story to tell you all!

Last week was a super exciting and meaningful weekend for me. Wanna know the reason?

YUP! Last week was the first ever Beauty Fest Asia 2017! Did you had the chance to go there as well? If not, then no worries, I’m here to share bits and pieces of the whole event! Come share this moment together with me and my sister as we meet global and regional influencers who are not only super pretty and kind but are all very inspiring.

Watch below for the whole vlog:

To be honest, I was super excited to meet JENN IM and STEPHANIE! But oh boy, I can truly say that all the other influencers are “influencers” for a reason. They share their stories and I can see how passionate they are in what they’re doing.

Meeting Tina Yong while vlogging <3

So the highlight of day 1 might be meeting TINA YONG accidentally while browsing through the booths. I was expecting to meet Tina on the 2^nd day of Beautyfest but while I was vlogging, she was walking RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! Of course I was super flustered and ended my vlog without thinking -.- but I had the chance to take pictures and talk to her for a bit. She is the sweetest and super fun to be around with. Love you TINA!!!

Meet & Greet with Pearypie

The meet & greets was nice but it sort of feels like an assembly line where tons of people line up and are given a short period of time to say hi and take pictures then off you go… I was really expecting to “talk” to Jenn Im and Stephanie but I can’t really do that when there are a hundred of people behind me waiting to meet them as well. Same thing as to what happened to the Meet & Greet with Pearypie… Meeting them on their spare time gives us the chance to really show our love for them and for them to show their love back to use without being in a rush!

I can say that the most inspiring talk show might be from Pearypie. She was so excited telling her stories and the MC didn’t even need to ask any more questions! She shared her first experience doing makeup for London Fashion Week and how that was her stepping stone to be recognized by talented MUAs. Setting small goals and never be afraid to make mistakes was her advice to all people who are striving for success. So for those of you out there who are trying to reach your dreams, start believing yourself and take small steps to reach your final destination. Because dreams WILL be a reality when you have the will and passion to make it happen!

The Gala Show was the last event for today. There are 15 awards given to regional influencers as well as local brands recognizing various categories in the beauty industry. Malik & The Essentials as well as Soundwave performed amazing performances which keeps the audience awake at such late hours. All in all, day one was truly inspiring and I learned a lot just from watching, not only from influencers, but also from new friends I met in this event.

Met Han Yoora while waiting for Pearypie's beauty class. She wanted to attend Jenn Im's meet & greet but was too late :( Felt so bad fpr her but she's soo cute in person <3

Maliq & The Essentials

My sister and I was sort of late today. The event started at 12pm while we arrived there at around 3pm. We strolled around the booths to find out what promotions the brands offered while keeping our eyes out for influencers strolling around.

The highlight of today was meeting Tina Yong AGAIN on her beauty class. Since this is the last section, we got the chance to talk and spend more time with Tina. At the end she shared her advice for all of you guys who wanted to start blogging, vlogging, or any other hobbies that you might have to just START and CONTINUE to do it. Stop making excuses and just start! It’s okay not to be perfect at first but you will definitely get better as you continue and be consistent doing it.

I truly hope this blog and video can inspire you guys out there to start pursuing your dreams. Be better and continue to grow each day.

From yours truly,

Nindia Djie

Dear loved ones,

Have you ever felt like you’re not good enough? Or you don’t fit in?

I’ve felt that way too, and truthfully, it sucks.

“You will soon find your purpose in life and will finally understand the meaning of life.”

These are cliché statements that are easier to say than do. How do know your purpose? Even if we keep on praying, God doesn’t always answer right away. 

From what I’ve experienced, loving ourselves and embracing our personal traits are the first step to express our love to God. Stop comparing yourself with other people, stop trying to be someone else, and stop trying to please other people for all the wrong reasons. People can always tell the difference between a genuine heart and a pretender. It’s hard to pretend to be someone else and much worse, people can always sense the awkwardness! It's true that some people are so good at pretending that no one will notice. But is it true happiness to lose your own identity? What determines happiness in this life? Is it being successful? Is it to have lots of money to spend? Or is it to fulfill your life's purpose? We have seen lots celebrities ended up feeling depressed even when they're on top of their career and rich people feeling empty even when they can afford anything they want. But when a person understands his purpose in life, he has a vision of what he can achieve and WILL achieve. It’s his motivation to live his life to the utmost potential. It is God’s way of saying that we should be comfortable, embrace His gifts for YOU, and discover your place in this world. Be active and seek His guidance.

The moment that I let go of all others’ expectations of me, I have become much more confident. I have started to discover my passions, talents, and my meaning of life. And due to the same exact reason, I have also started sending you these letters. I want to relate to you, share you these stories, and inspire you. I know that you are a special individual in His eyes, it would be amazing if you yourself can see how much potential you have.

For years I could not separate myself from others. I did not have a specific hobby nor talent that makes me “special”. One advice that I could give to those of you who feel the same way is to try experience various POSITIVE activities and find a supportive community. Experiment yourself with something positive and discover what makes you happy. For instance, don't try to smoke or get drunk just to ‘express’ yourself or as a reason to find your ‘purpose’, because God will never put His creations to do negative things. Finding a supportive community will not only help you discover your potentials, but can also be a way for you to exercise those gifts and in return helping other people who need it!

I am always here as your supportive companion and I hope through these letters, you will learn a thing or two. Keep on smiling and share these with your friends who might need it J
