It Hurts Because It Matters
image source What a contemplative month this October has been. I’ve experienced the nasty jab of realizing that I don’t matter when I thought I did. And to experience that again — albeit in completely different circumstances — in the space of less than a year after the last, let’s just say it’s been a…

Reasons to Love October
October has always been my favorite month. You could say that it has something to do with my birthday, but I have a long list of reasons to love October. To me, October always has this nice, warm and wonderful vibe. It’s when the weather is cold enough for sweaters, coats, leggings, and boots to…

I Love Like I’ve Been Hurt
The phrase ‘Dance like no one’s watching, sing like no one’s listening, and love like you’ve never been hurt’ is not something new. Dance like no one’s watching? Oh yes I do that, because otherwise, how would I get myself to dance? Sing like no one’s listening, I do that too. Sometimes in the bathroom,…

Some things along the way vol. 5: People
It’s no secret that I like to take pictures of bright things when I travel. Another thing I like to capture is people. Obviously, this takes much more effort. For one thing, people are constantly moving. In my early camera days, I had so many blurry pictures of the moving objects. When I got the…

A weekend in Bandung
I think by now everybody has understood how much I resent living in Jakarta. It still hasn’t changed, and I still need a getaway every few weeks or so. I’ve always loved Bandung. Probably a bit too much, seeing how many posts I’ve written about it (I wrote how I felt when I left it…

A Birthday Post for A Crazy Girl
Special people in my life tend to get mentioned here. This girl, she’s been mentioned before, but for who she is, she deserves one blog post. There are many reasons why I had such a blast in Southampton, and she’s one of the reasons. For starters, she’s weird. If (God forbid) my phone got hacked somehow and…

When your good friend told you he was leaving in 2 days
One of a very few things that made me look forward to going back home was seeing my old friends. A year is quite a long time, and add 6-7 hours time difference to that, things could be a bit rough. Flashback to 6 years ago, the first time I recognized him was when he…

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 Dinner
One of my favorite things about Christmas is… Christmas dinner. What’s not to love? Friends, food, and sometimes, exchanging presents. Of many Christmas dinner I’ve had, I feel that I should write this one, so in the future I can remember exactly how I felt. There was nothing really extravagant or sophisticated about this dinner.…
