My Remedy
A few days ago I wrote about how I was so stressed and unable to do anything but watching Friends. Fortunately, there was one thing that I looked forward to: Mafia meet-up. Knowing that this would be the last time we hung out together before Didi and I leave for England, everyone made it (except…

Rough Week
I’m having a rough week. I have to let a few things go, things that have been my passion for such a long time and things that I so dearly love. I keep saying to myself to let it go, that something better will come to replace it. Something that is much better. But I don’t…

A Long Overdue Post: Dufan 2012
One of the perks of being a college student is having the freedom to do something, and the time. Ever since my friends and I graduated, its getting harder and harder to meet, say, for lunch or dinner (let alone a day trip). Because the time is limited only in weekends, there’s always someone missing…

Leaving Bandung
My first impression on Bandung wasn’t that good. I came from sunny Sumbawa, with clear blue sky and fresh air. It took some time for me to get used with the grey sky and polluted air, and a few weeks to learn how to cross the road with cars passing by (and I’m proud to…

Mafia Rempong Metal Strikes Back!
So it’s been 3 years since we were together, and 2 years since we stopped working together. With us being scattered in different cities (and different islands), it’s getting harder and harder to meet and do something together. I really miss these guys so much, and I’m not gonna lie here, sometimes I miss the…

When Lidya was in Bandung
This weekend I found some photos of Lidya’s visit in my old folder. So it was a year ago (probably longer than that) when she visited me for three days. We did what we usually do when we meet: shopping, drawing/painting, telling stories (love stories, to be exact), gossiping (and cursing some people, pardon us), and going…

Varend, My Favorite Kid
Meet my favorite kid in the whole world, Welvarend Damanik. He’s a smart 5 year-old kid (recently just celebrated his 5th birthday!) who speaks German much better than Indonesian. Back when I was in Europe, I babysat for him for a few times, like when his parents were out for their fifth anniversary. All the…

A Couple of Good News
Last week I got some good news that made giddy in excitement. Before I throw the first news, I’m gonna tell you a little bit about LitBox. LitBox stands for Literary Box, a mystery book filled with curated books that the readers can subscribe and order. The tagline is, “Recommended readings. At your door step.”…

A Day in Schwerin
One thing that I was looking forward to when I attended GrIStuF was a day tour to Schwerin, the capital of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. The next day after the closing ceremony, we were packed and ready. Seven o’clock in the station was a bit early for us, but thank god nobody was left behind. Two or three…

Bedroom
As a big time couch potato, I spend most of my time in my room. Now, I never really feel at home in Jakarta (and my house), but among other places in my house, my room is the most tolerable. The half-finished painting, Joey says Hi! and Chloe asks Why?, which have sat on the headboard for mere 3…
