Desert Island Discs: 5 Favorite Episodes
People who have lived in the UK for some time might be no strangers to Desert Island Discs. Me, I found it pretty late. I was introduced to Desert Island Discs by H’s mom, who started the habit of listening to the episodes alphabetically while walking the dogs. I tried listening to a few episodes,…

Gothenburg Fringe Favorites
This blog has been quiet for a while, and that’s because I’ve got a lot going on right now. Hopefully things will calm down in the next few weeks, but for now, I’d like to share about Gothenburg Fringe Festival, the thing that kept me busy last week. A few weeks back, I saw they…

A Short Trip to Bandung
I’ve always said I love Bandung, and as someone who lived there for 8 years, it baffles me that Bandung isn’t more internationally renowned, compared to, say, Yogyakarta. It might be for the best though, since one of the things I love the most about Bandung is its homeliness and friendly vibe. No matter how long I’ve…

Recently Read – First Quarter of 2017
Reading progress has been a bit slow this year, with only 8 books in 3 months. I’ve gotten into a reading slump, and it’s hard to get out of it. I’ll need to get back in the game soon though, as I’m behind on my Goodreads Reading Challenge. Any advice on how to get out…

7 Favorite Christmassy Romcom Movies
I’m not even ashamed to admit I love romcom more than any other genre. It’s now exactly 2 weeks until Christmas, but I have yet to truly feel the festive spirit (what’s wrong with me?). So I thought it’s high time I fix that, by watching some Christmassy movies. With things that are going on…

November Reading Wrap Up
Compared to the quiet October, November was far busier, work-wise. I had a lot of projects going on, so I didn’t have much time to read. I only managed to read 2 novels and 1 short story, which isn’t much compared to last month.

Review | Lalala Festival 2016
Last week I went to Lalala Festival. It is — borrowing their tagline — the first international forest festival in Indonesia. If you’ve heard about it, you probably have heard about the uproar as well. Their Instagram account was flooded with angry comments from the festival goers, complaining about the festival that was disastrous. Emotions…

October Reading Wrap Up
This October was a good one, reading-wise. Partly because I finished all work ahead of schedule, and partly because of all those Kindle deals. I’d been introduced to books by authors I hadn’t known before, and for the most part, I loved it! There are books by one particular author that I wasn’t really impressed…
