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.
Still remember my post about inclusive schools here? I told you about my class, in which there was a student with disability. But I was wrong. There was not a student. There were students with disabilities. I knew it would somehow show me as ignorant to realize this only at the end of the class….
I got new sandals! (Or shoes?) Not sure what people call them. But for me, it’s not really shoes, and not really sandals either, so maybe shoe-sandals? šš Well, whatever, that’s not what I want to talk about. Hhe Well, actually I had not intended to buy such new shoe-sandals. Let us just say that…
I want to share my experience hunting for a “cheap ticket”. It was another drama. Well, my life is full of drama! šš As I’ve said in my other post, I’m going to Manila for a conference at the end of next Month. I’ve been hunting for a cheap roundtrip ticket since I received the…
Hi, I know I should’ve posted bout this much earlier, but I just couldn’t make time. *Sigh My spring break has been over. And it was since about two weeks ago. The spring break in my university this year started much earlier. Usually it’s at the mid March or the end, or the begginning of…
What is peace? What is safe? I have always tried to not talk about how dangerous it can be to live in the states. One of the reasons is that I don’t want to make my family at home worry. Another reason is that I feel Tucson is very safe. Nothing horrible has ever happened…

Several days ago, I went to stroll around the town with a friend. Actually, sheās been asking me to hang out several times but either our schedule didnāt match, or I simply couldnāt make it. That day I decided to okay her invitation because I didnāt want her to think that I didnāt want to…
This past week I have been absent from Instagram and other social media (Twitter and Facebook). The reason being isā¦I donāt know. Maybe Iām just bored.

The other day I went to Lee Lee, itās an international/oriental supermarket in Tucson, AZ. For me itās basically like a paradise, one of my secrets of survival living away from home. Why?

She asked, āDo you celebrate birthdays?ā I was…
