Some things along the way vol. 4: Bright Colors
Things have been gloomy here, and I’m in desperate need of mood boosters. Also, I’m out of words. Completely. So here’s captionless colorful pictures I took here and there, because when things are so blue you can’t even write about it, bright colors should help fixing your mood at least a bit, just like a cup…

Some things along the way vol. 3: London
Growing up in small towns for the first 15 years of my life, I’ve never been fond of big cities. There’s something about them that makes me feel on edge. Also, I get grouchy in crowded places. London is no exception. In all fairness, it’s a vibrant city with iconic landmarks that could leave you…

Some things along the way vol. 2: Couplets and Solitaires
When I travel, I take pictures of everything. Monuments, people, mosaics, floor, landscapes, architectures, you name it. Some of them are random things I found interesting. Looking at these particular random/interesting photos could actually remind me of the exact thought I had when I saw it. Sometimes my imagination goes a bit overboard and creates a…

Bandung
I’ve never met someone who’s lived in Bandung and doesn’t fall in love with the city. It’s almost like a voodoo, actually. People who have been there are charmed with the city. Going back there — even for only a few days — is always a delight. My parents have been living in Jakarta for…

A Look Back on 2014
I’ve been meaning to wrap 2014 into one nice post, but somehow, I find it hard to even begin writing about it. Earlier in 2014, I made a resolution to have no I-wish-I’d-done-that regret. I told myself that I’d try new things and say yes to whatever came my way. I’m glad to say that this…

Christmas 2014 and a bit about Bath
I don’t know how to begin writing about this. I’ve posted quite a lot of things about Christmas with my apparent affinity for it. Christmas isn’t just about one day, anyway. The preparation prior to the day is as exciting as Christmas day itself. So let’s start about this December. I’ve been practically giddy with excitement…

Winchester Christmas Market
There was one morning when I was woken up by a knock on my door. My housemates asked me if I wanted to go to Winchester with them that day, and I said yes straight away (I’ve never, ever said no to Winchester). So I got up, made some toasts and a cup of tea,…

Christmas All Over Again
It’s this time of the year again, when the Christmas trees are up, tinsel is everywhere, and Christmas songs are played in almost every shop you walk past. The time of the year when you can’t help feeling anything but merry. I’ve always had a fondness for Christmas, no matter what happened. Even in the worst years…

Winchester Bonfire
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always loved fireworks and bonfires. Everything that has fireworks or bonfires will always be my fondest memories. Among those are my 20th birthday when someone when to my place and lit fireworks (the big ones!) and the new year’s eve 2013 when my friends and I watched the fireworks…

Snippets of September
As it’s always been with this blog, this is a late post about September. The other day I was sorting photos in my phone because the memory was running low, and found a few photos that reminded me of some good days in September. I spent half of September working on my dissertation in such panic and stress,…
