Kawah Putih
It was 6 years ago when I first came here. I didn’t remember much about that time, except that it gave me the privilege of saying, ‘Oh yes, I’ve been there’ whenever people talked about how beautiful this place was. Kawah Putih (literal translation: white crater) is located 50 km south of Bandung, but it took…

The one with the Liebster Award
I love traveling, photography, and cute things, and WordPress is really good at picking up the patterns of things you like and suggesting relevant blogs for you. That’s how I stumbled upon a blog called Indonesia in my pocket by Andine, and of course, it’s an instant love. Now, about Liebster Award. This award aims to…

All those shades of blue
It’s been almost 3 months since I left Southampton, and I’m acutely aware of how much I miss it. And to be honest, I miss seeing the blue sky. I haven’t seen it since I arrived in Jakarta, thanks to the grey polluted sky. So today I went through my folders and picked some pictures…

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…

The ones who are gone
image source Sometimes when I lie in bed at night, in those minutes between closing my eyes and finally falling asleep, I think about the people I used to know. People that once were so close with me, the ones that used to be parts of my days, the ones with whom I shared so…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Home for now
Moving from one place to another has never been my favorite thing to do. As much as I’d like to think of myself as an adventurer, I can’t lie that I have no trouble leaving the places and memories that I’m attached to. When I was 10, I moved from a little town in Celebes…
