Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
I decided to make this post because I often see some of my friends saying things that imply that they are ugly. At first, I found it quite upsetting because, in all honesty, I think that these people who say they are ugly are actually beautiful. Sweet and cute. More beautiful than me. Cuter and…
I had never been to Australia before so it was my first time visiting the country. It’s the 22nd country I visited (including my own country, just to make it look many. LoL) and it made it the 4th continent I went to. I had never thought I wanted to go to Australia before, but…
This happened some time ago. There was this one beach that went viral for separating men and women. People called it “Pantai Syar’i”, literally means “shar’i beach” (or “Islamic beach”, if you mind). Personally I don’t agree with this. I even think it’s kinda ridiculous. First of all, not everyone in the country is Muslim…
So, well, I decided to visit Australia. But of course, I’ll need a visa 🙁 *But, you can skip the next paragraph; you can actually just go to the end of this post, you’re welcome ^^ And I might have said this, but, the thing about needing a visa is the toughest on deciding the…
It’s summer break now. My Japanese class actually ended in the beginning of last May. I mean, I should’ve written about this sooner but my hand was kinda tied. Last semester might have been the toughest semester for me. I had to do comps and I even had to skip my Japanese classes for a…
I might have talked a lot about this guy but I haven’t properly told you about who he is or why I love him so much. Or have I? But, oh, well. Ikuta Toma is one of my most favorite Japanese actors. What I love about him or what I love about loving him is…
I could finally watch Yuuzai/My friend “A”. This is a new movie of Ikuta Toma’s (ok, I owe you a post about him. I will do it later). Well, it’s not that new of a movie actually. It was released last year (2018). Remember when I had a transit in Japan and planned to watch…
When I was asked to speak in the “Scholarship Hunting: Exploring the world through scholarship” seminar, the committee requested me to encourage the participants so that they could feel motivated in applying for a scholarship to pursue their study abroad at the end of the event. I felt – and still feel – “dilemmatic” 🙈😅 Here…
As you might have noticed and maybe I have said it myself too: I love stories. Books, movies. I love them. I mean, I don’t have all the time, money, and energy to experience everything in person myself. So I always find it exciting to look into other experiences from others’ stories or in books…
April 21 is celebrated as “Kartini Day” in Indonesia to commemorate the birthday of – and to honor – R.A. Kartini, one of Indonesian Heroines who fought for women’s equal opportunity for education. The other day I was invited to share my experience and to speak in one of the events that celebrated it. I…
