Read more: Home Journal: WFH, Early Spring, and Little Joys Around the HouseReading the news lately has been depressing, and to be honest, I feel like I need a break from reading/watching/consuming anything about coronavirus. Unfortunately, it’s plagued both the real and social worlds, and I feel like there’s no escaping it. This has become our new normal, and the world once was before this started seems…

A Nightmare
Last night I had a nightmare. In that dream, I saw my dog being shot, and I watched helplessly as blood seeped out of her body. She was trembling all over and shrinking, and before long she lied helplessly in a pool of blood. I woke up sobbing, and my chest literally hurt, as if someone just…

The Lodge Maribaya
By now you might have established how much I loathe Jakarta. Some people were born to live in buzzing cities, but I’ve never really adjusted here, no matter how much I’ve tried. If you asked me what my achievements in life are, I’d put surviving in Jakarta as one of them. It’s a constant hurdle,…

BLOGGER DISCOUNT FOR PHOTO SESSIONS
Calling all bloggers out there! As you might know, I recently resigned from my job to do photography full-time (you can check the website here!). So far things have been great and I’m glad I decided to take a plunge for this. I can feel my creativity is growing and for the first time in…

Pustakalana Children’s Library
Some of you might know that I love reading. I never go out of the house without a book or Kindle in my bag, and I never go to sleep without reading a bit (or a lot, if the story is particularly exciting). Reading has been a huge part of my life. It’s a bit…

Bali Trip | Pemuteran
Pemuteran. I don’t quite know why it took me so long to write this. Maybe it had something to do with the number of photos I had to work on now that I’m doing photography full-time, that in my spare time the least I wanted to do was working on other photos. Or maybe it…

July 2016
I can’t believe it’s August already. July rolled around quickly, and I have to say this is my favorite month in 2016 so far. There are some reasons why July is better than the previous months this year… Doing photography full time As some of you might have known, I quit my job and began…

Postcards from Bandung
Last Saturday I packed my bag and went to Bandung with my sister and her boyfriend. I’ve always had a soft spot for this city, so while I still prefer a quiet little town over a busy city, Bandung is a compromise I’d happily accept. As familiar as it could be, it’s constantly evolving. Every…

About Work, Love Stories, and an Engagement Shoot
Since I made a website for my photography work, I’ve stopped using this blog as a showcase for my portfolio. Her Little Journal has always been a personal blog, so as soon as I had another platform for my work, I’ve separated personal photos and commissioned ones. This time, however, is a bit different. For…

The Day Southampton Made Me Cry
Have you ever missed something, so much that you cry? I cried today, for a chapter in my life that’s long gone; Southampton chapter. I’d been doing so well all this time. I avoided playing songs that I used to listen in my Southampton era, and I put all photos in a folder that I…

Bali Trip | Snorkeling at Menjangan Island
When we were planning our trip, one of the first things we put on the list was snorkeling at Menjangan Island. I’d heard about the island and its reputation before, but seeing how far it was from my usual destinations in Bali, it always put me off. This time, it was different. I was getting…
