Bavaria Trip | Prelude
This is a story that should have been told a long while ago. I had it written and re-written, but somehow it never felt right, like something was missing. I tried to put it into words, all the feelings and experiences and memories. But while most of the pieces were there, the puzzle was incomplete. I…

Those Little Acts of Kindness
Every once in a while, I get rough days, and sometimes, those days stretch for a whole week. Like this week. It didn’t start very well as I got the flu and had to stay home on Monday, and also for almost the entire Tuesday. Wednesday was a public holiday here, so I effectively only…

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…

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…

The Beginning of 2016
On December 31st 2015, I packed up and drove with my friends to Bandung, to spend the new year with old friends from college. We expected to be stuck in the traffic for 6 hours (the traffic could be nasty sometimes), but it turned out we got there in mere 2 hours. The nicest surprise. We…

2015
I usually end December with a post that includes a look-back on the year, reminiscing my favorite moments and lessons learned. I feel like I can’t do that this year. 2015 is a year that’s full of… nothingness. After a year full of adventures and remarkable moments in 2014, moving to 2015 was like stepping…

To A Place Where Christmas is Christmas
This month has been quite busy, to say the least. It started with a field trip to Central and East Java for work, then followed by heavier-than-usual workload. On top of that, the preparation for the holiday season has added to the frenzy. All those things have kept me busy for quite a while now,…
