• The Path of the Gods

    I got to know the Path of the Gods from a lovely couple I met when I was staying in Sorrento. Hailing from Germany, they had been touring the Amalfi Coast on foot, making their way from Salerno to Sorrento. I saw them the first time at a restaurant I frequented for dinner, when I…

    On Bright Colors and Running

    My fondness of bright colors has been restored since the day you convinced me to run with you, literally. Being my least favorite sport, I’ve avoided running since… forever. So thank you, for the bright colors (and the running, both literally and figuratively).

    Things to be Left Unsaid

    I won’t ask you why the sky are blue, neither why you talked about us that night. I won’t ask you how I could waste two whole years just to fall in love, just like I won’t ask you about the secret you keep from me. I won’t ask about everything between us that falls…

    A Couple of Good News

    Last week I got some good news that made giddy in excitement. Before I throw the first news, I’m gonna tell you a little bit about LitBox.

    A Day in Schwerin

    One thing that I was looking forward to when I attended GrIStuF was a day tour to Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The next day after the closing ceremony, we were packed and ready. Seven o’clock in the station was a bit early for us, but thank god nobody was left behind. Two or three…

    Bedroom

    As a big time couch potato, I spend most of my time in my room. Now, I never really feel at home in Jakarta (and my house), but among other places in my house, my room is the most tolerable. The half-finished painting, Joey says Hi! and Chloe asks Why?, which have sat on the headboard for mere 3…

    There are times

    There are times when you’re going to the same direction, but you’re on two different paths. There are times when you’re on the exact same path, but you’re going to the opposite directions. There are times when fate is kind enough to let you meet him, but mean enough not to let you have him.…

  • About Traveling

    About Traveling

    One of many things that I love about traveling is falling in love so many times, at every hello I meet. The thing I hate the most? The broken heart at every goodbye, the feeling that makes me yearn for a few more days at every city.
