Read more: 2019: The Highs and LowsIt’s well into February 2020, and as usual, I’m late with the recap of the previous year. The past month has been incredibly busy, and as I was in Indonesia, I prioritized my time for friends and family that I don’t see very often. Naturally, this blog had taken a backseat. But I’m squeezing this…

Morning Light, and A Catch Up
I have never been fond of growing up. In my mind, there are too many great things about childhood and youth, a lifetime simply is not enough for me to explore them and be satisfied. Fairy tales, folklores, and games are among my favorite things about childhood. Sure, I could still explore those child-appropriate things…

Twilite Orchestra Concert: A Tribute to John Williams
On Saturday night, you can always find me in one place: home. What with the time when most people choose to go out, and Jakarta horrendous traffic, I’d happily avert it all and sit at home with my laptop and a cup of tea. There are only very few exceptions to that, and last night…

Starting A Photography Business
If the last time you saw me in the flesh was some time when I was in Southampton, I’m pretty sure you wouldn’t recognize me now at first glance. I’ve lost 10 kgs since those days (the first 4 kgs was intentional, and the rest was due to stress), and I’ve become a lot less…

Some things along the way vol. 8: Yellow
The last time I posted a series of bright-colored pictures, I was feeling blue. Now, almost a year after that, I find myself feeling the need of bright colors again, as I’m burning out with the humdrum life in this city. Last weekend I opened old folders of vacation photos and collected these pictures for…

Let’s Talk About Dreams
Throughout my time in college, and the time after that, I always admired my peer who seemed to be so driven, outspoken, and confident about everything, particularly their career. Unsurprisingly, they went far up the ladder with ambitions that never seemed to diminish. And in those times, I always felt somehow inadequate for not being…

Things That Shouldn’t Surprise You When You Live in Indonesia
I feel that I have lived long enough in Indonesia to compile a list of things that shouldn’t surprise anyone who might want to visit someday. Some of the things (#1 and #3 in particular) don’t apply to all areas, and as I’m currently based in Jakarta, I’m living the extreme cases of those. But…

The Tale of A Runaway Bride
She woke up today with a heavy heart. An emotion that, when she thought about it, left her feeling deflated and unsure about life.

One Year On
A year ago today, I was packing and trying to fit everything into my already-full suitcase, while choosing which pieces should be left behind. As usual, I’d left it until last minutes to pack. My room should have been emptied by then, but clothes are strewn all over the place, cardboard boxes were being filled…

Maternity Photoshoot – Ocha and Dito
I have known my best friend Ocha for years. We were classmates in college, and the amount of things we’ve shared is just ridiculous. Late night conversations, struggle and tears that came with college life, dark secrets, and so forth. If there’s one thing I’m grateful about my course, it’s how it brought me to…

Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone Illustrated Edition
*this post contains spoiler* I might have a mild obsession with the Harry Potter series. I mentioned a bit about that in here, when I went to Warner Bros Studio for The Making of Harry Potter tour. That visit itself is one of my happiest memories of all time, which never fails to make me…
