A Day With Our Customers Vol.1 : MONICA WIDHASWARA

In our very first A Day with Our Customers project, we visited the home of Monica Widhaswara, a 22-years-old pretty lady who just completed her study at University of Indonesia. From our short session, we were instantly enamored by her sweet & warm charm. We think she makes a darling BFF!

Tell us about yourself!

I just finished my studies, so now enjoying my internship in a multinational company. I love hanging out with my girl friends and go shopping – offline and online. In terms of personal style, I like things that are easy to wear, not so much into layers, but I don’t mind wearing prints.

How much do you love shoes?

I love shoes so much! There’s just no end to buying shoes haha..

Is it true, that shoes define a person’s personality?

Shoes absolutely define one’s personality. When you look at the overall appearance of a person, shoes just seem to stand out the most.  You can easily tell from the shoes whether someone is more of a comfort seeker or ‘beauty is pain’ believer.

What does happiness means to you?

Happiness is about making my family and friends happy. I just always want to be there for them and see them happy. And there’s always that other kind of joy when I manage to acquire a new pair of shoes!  Other simple things that make me happy are my pet’s cute behavior, having a happy tummy (I love anything green tea and potato!) and the weekends. On weekends, I would go watch movies with my boyfriend and explore new restaurants with friends.

Who is your role model?

Recently I have been very much inspired by a senior from university. She has taught me on how to build and manage my career path by staying focus on what we want to achieve in life. I am highly interested in Human Resource Management, and I want to build my career in this industry.

Loving this braid a lot!

We love you. Do you love UP?

I’m not really a brand loyalist, but somehow with UP it’s a different case. From the first time I came across UP’s website, I could instantly tell that the shoes are worth to try. And it’s true! Upon my first purchase, I have found UP shoes to be comfortable and durable...and now I’m hooked! My close friends know that I loooove UP so much, 2 out of the total 6 pairs of UP shoes I own are actually birthday presents from my best friends!

Our day ended with smiles. It's always nice to make new friends, yes? Thank you so much for your time, Monica! Hope you enjoyed having us...muah! :)
