3:55 AM Brain + Livingstone Nostalgia: Insomnia, Breakouts, and Cake That Fixes Nothing (But Helps)
3:30 AMHello, team insomniac.
It’s 3:55 AM and my sleep schedule is performing modern art.
I keep sleeping at 5:00 and waking at 09:00, which is how you unlock breakouts and a personality.
Even if I see a dermatologist daily, as long as I live like a raccoon, my skin will file complaints.
I’m trying to sleep earlier. My melatonin says “girl, be serious.”
anyway
Life’s been… busy-lazy.
Real life is mid, so I’m relaxing instead of waiting for things that don’t text back. Suddenly: it’s almost end of May. Time is disrespectful.
When in doubt, I time-travel to a memory that behaves:
Livingstone Cafe & Bakery.
Why Livingstone lives rent-free in my head
I spent Christmas there last year and now I miss it like a ritual. The place is simple, elegant, and quiet—my favorite combo for lunch + hiding from people. The playlist helped (Christmas songs then, serotonin always). ❤
Address: Jl. Petitenget 88x, Kerobokan, Bali
Hours: 07:00–22:00 (daily)
What I ordered from left to right :
- Choco mousse C SLC IDR 35
- Iced Caramel Latte IDR 35
- Greentea Latte IDR 33
- Red Velvet Tiramissu IDR 35
Prices exclude tax & service.
I always pick the choco mousse like I’m in a long-term relationship with chocolate.
No mains this time. I’d already had hotel breakfast,
so I chose to nongkrong cantik and let sugar do the therapy.
Somewhere in the photo roll is a shot of me photographing cake like a famine survivor. Starving eyes, drool energy. Method acting.
Vibe check
Ambience:
Airy, tidy, and relaxed. Feels like a deep breath.
For introverts:
Yes. Quiet lunch approved.
Music:
Seasonally festive then; generally mood-friendly.
Service:
Consistently kind;
no boomerang menus or vanishing staff.
Tiny verdicts
Choco Mousse:
Silky, dependable. I keep choosing it and I’m not sorry.
Iced Caramel Latte:
Sweet comfort with a backbone.
Green Tea Latte:
Gentle, not chalky, good with emails you won’t send.
Red Velvet Tiramisu:
Cute chaos; cream-to-cake balance lands.
Insomnia epilogue
Pictures doesn’t cure 3:55 AM, but it softens it.
I’ll try to sleep earlier; my skin will try to forgive me; neither of us will win every night.
That’s fine.
I’ll keep choosing small good things:
a quiet table, a mousse that listens, and coffee that doesn’t judge.
Have a good day, guys.
