Stories, experiences, and feelings in this journey of life.
Here’s where I write about what happened or how I felt when I live(d) in Tucson, AZ during my study. But I decided to continue to put writing about my ordinary/daily after returning to my hometown in Indonesia under this category.
Today I’ll share yet another recipe. It’s called Perkedel Kentang. For the previous recipes, you can read it here. Perkedel Kentang is one of my favorites. Well, maybe some people will say it’s just a variation of mashed potatoes, but nope, for me it’s not. It’s different. This is one of my Indonesian prides. LoL…
Hi, today I’ll share another recipe. It’s called Corn Soup. For the previous recipe, you can read it here. Ok, so, first I knew about Corn Soup from my sister. There was this food stall near her boarding house that sold various kinds of food and she told me that her favorite was their corn…
Hi, this actually happened in August 25, the second day Fall semester started, but I thought I could put it here too 🙂 Actually it’s not the first time I had video-calls with my parents, but usually I had to wait for my sister to go back home to visit our parents to be able…
Hi, today I want to share my recipe. Well, I know I said I didn’t really like cooking. I really don’t, but it doesn’t mean I can’t cook, and to survive and save money, somehow I must cook, so let me share some recipes for some of the food that I can proudly make. LoL…
I’d been reading a lot about gaslighting lately: what it is, the example, how to deal with it, etc. To be honest, I’m not sure if I can let anyone gaslight me. I feel like I have control of myself so there’s no way I let someone take such control over me. But, well, one…
Disclaimer: 1) You can actually skip the first few paragraphs, focus on the bolded sentences, and go towards the end. 2) The pics I post here are actually of the brochure I got from the doctor in my Campus Health Center. It’s made based on the guidance by CDC/Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (U.S….
I am not sure if I could write a lot for this post. I guess I just want to make it short. Ramadan this year was really different, especially with COVID19 pandemic. You know I don’t go out that much, but staying home because I choose to stay home is really different from staying home…
As you might have known, I’m studying at a beautiful and great campus at the south-western part of the States: University of Arizona. So yeah, I’m a “Wildcat”. I really love this place, the town, the university, the people. They all are good. And this semester, my campus has this food distribution program by UA…
Well, I should’ve written and posted this sooner but I just couldn’t make time to write about it. Ramadhan has been over, but it’s better late than never, right? Actually this was not not my first Ramadhan and thus not my first fasting experience in the United States. When I first came to the US…
The other day my studio apartment manager notified me that they were going to check the air conditioner in each unit. (Well, it’s summer; Tucson’s getting hotter). It’s kind of notifying the residents that if they weren’t home, they would enter the unit. Is it safe? Of course, it’s not as if they’re going to…
