July 2016
I can’t believe it’s August already. July rolled around quickly, and I have to say this is my favorite month in 2016 so far. There are some reasons why July is better than the previous months this year… Doing photography full time As some of you might have known, I quit my job and began…

Postcards from Bandung
Last Saturday I packed my bag and went to Bandung with my sister and her boyfriend. I’ve always had a soft spot for this city, so while I still prefer a quiet little town over a busy city, Bandung is a compromise I’d happily accept. As familiar as it could be, it’s constantly evolving. Every…

About Work, Love Stories, and an Engagement Shoot
Since I made a website for my photography work, I’ve stopped using this blog as a showcase for my portfolio. Her Little Journal has always been a personal blog, so as soon as I had another platform for my work, I’ve separated personal photos and commissioned ones. This time, however, is a bit different. For…

The Day Southampton Made Me Cry
Have you ever missed something, so much that you cry? I cried today, for a chapter in my life that’s long gone; Southampton chapter. I’d been doing so well all this time. I avoided playing songs that I used to listen in my Southampton era, and I put all photos in a folder that I…

Bali Trip | Snorkeling at Menjangan Island
When we were planning our trip, one of the first things we put on the list was snorkeling at Menjangan Island. I’d heard about the island and its reputation before, but seeing how far it was from my usual destinations in Bali, it always put me off. This time, it was different. I was getting…

Taking A Leap of Faith
Yesterday was my last day at work. My contract ended and I decided not to renew it. Why would she do that, you might wonder. Well, it was quite a long process until I came to that decision. It had begun since November last year, when I started feeling rotten all the time. Constant fatigue,…

Bali Trip | Ubud
Oh, Ubud. Where do I start? From many, many places to visit, we chose Ubud for our first stop. The place itself has established a reputation as the center of art and culture in Bali, as well as being tourist-friendly. I don’t think I could ever get bored of Ubud, given the vast array of…

Bali Trip | How It Began
I still remember my last few months in Southampton. Saying goodbye every other week, each time making a promise to at least try to meet sometime in the future. The thing is, the world is such a big, big place, and with each passing day, I became less sure about the possibilities of meeting my…

The Light at the End of the Tunnel
May was a whirlwind and when I look back, it seemed busier than other times. Starting with the book fair, then a trip to Jogja for a friend’s wedding, then a trip to the site (which this time wasn’t all that good, to be honest), and suddenly it’s the end of May. To be honest,…

Jogja | A Photo Diary
Last weekend I went to Jogja again after 4 years (wow, has it been that long?). Since it was a long weekend, the traffic was quite bad and everywhere was crowded, so we didn’t get to see many places. I went there to go to a friend’s wedding anyway, so sightseeing took a back seat.…
