What's your favourite social interaction with strangers?
I came across this question and thought this would be a good blog idea. First of all, considering how often I travel/walk/explore or basically do anything by myself, I have been really grateful that I have had more positive experiences than bad ones. And as much as I like to make as little contact/interaction with strangers as possible, we are social creatures that need interaction. In this post,…
Why do we write?
One of the things I’ve noticed, attending UWRF for two consecutive years back in 2023 and 2024, was the fact that most of the writers started writing because their lives were hitting rock bottom – either they’re depressed, or they have to channel their trauma or repressed feelings that are bundled up in their mind. And I agree, since I do journaling to process my thoughts and feelings, and it…
Press Pause: Clay-Making Session on the Weekend
Awal tahun kemarin sempat ikut activity-nya dari Orasis Art Space. Selain lokasinya galeri yang mereka bikin beberapa aktivitas seni seperti Sun Printing with Turmeric, Monochrome Suminagashi, dan Clay Object Making. Dari 3 opsi, jadwal yang cocok yaitu bikin clay – which is what I really wanted to since last year! Orasis Art Space Galeri di Orasis Art Space Sebelum mulai sesi bikin…
Is Life A Game?
Since forever, I declare myself a non-gamer. Playing games frustrates me. From Super Mario, ‘bounce’ on the old Nokia phone, to Stardew Valley, I couldn’t find enjoyment in any of it. To reflect on that, maybe I just don’t like the fact that I am not being my best right away. I have to repeat the process multiple times, trying and just trying. Not to mention, I do not see a purpose in completing…
Back with Sheldon and Penny: Schrödinger's cat
Life certainly has a funny way of showing me the way (wait, what is this sentence?! lol). Anyway, January feels like a marathon. I kept running and running – no time for catching a breath, even just for a moment. So I took a damn good rest on the first day of February. (YOU GO GIRL!) But… taking a break on a Sunday could look like me ‘abandoning’ my responsibility. I know, I know, it’s sort of…
What places do I read the most, and when?
If we’re talking about reading places – I don’t think the library would come first unless you’re a student, right? I used to spend a lot of time at the library, but not anymore. So, when do I read? Last year, I read 28 books. I was 2 short of my reading goal – but that’s okay. The intention is not just about the number, but also the fact that I am actually still honing my reading skill, focus,…
I Opened My 2025 Recap Jar
I saw a video suggesting preparing an empty jar and writing down something amazing or something good that is happening to me throughout the year – to be read at the end of the year (or in my case, at the beginning of the following year). In the spirit of I’m such a sucker for writing things down, I’m convinced – immediately. I bought this plastic tube and decorated it with stickers (to put some…
GreenBeanRedBean: Hilarious Farming Journey with Kyungsoo and friends
I couldn’t stop laughing! GreenBeanRedBean – GBRB is a reality show produced by Na PD, one of the most prolific producers in South Korea. It shows the dynamic of the 4 best friends: Ki Bang, Kwang Soo, Kim Woo Bin, and Kyungsoo. I honestly, I’m just here for Kyungsoo initially, plus the idea of farming is really appealing to me! hahaha – Apparently, it was Kyungsoo’s idea cause that’s his…
Little things in life
To feel more alive. In this fast-paced world with high demand on work and being on standby online to communicate with others, I realise that over time… I neglect my hobbies and my prized possession. “Life can get you down, so I just numb the way it feels,” said Ed Sheeran in one of his songs. The past few months have been… numb. The music I listened to just became background music. I was too…
Britt-Marie’s story is proof: sometimes, you have to go somewhere that scares you to find the person you always were. ❤️ New blog post on the power of this Fredrik Backman novel, from cleaning lists to the symbol of hope from football.
Building a Smiling Soul
I watched this video about happiness explained by a philosopher (@philosophyminis) and thought this was such a great topic to share on my blog. I only focused on the happiness part in this blog post, but the full video (30-minute long) contains more about love, money, and philosophy in our everyday lives. You can do a quick read here, but if you have time, I encourage you to watch the full video…
Embarking on an experimental journey, I've discovered the transformative power of walking meditation. Inspired by Thich Nhat Nanh, I learned to focus on my breath and embrace each step, even in everyday moments. Slowing down physically calms my mind, enriching my experience and challenging my perceptions.
The video inspired me to embrace an experimental mindset, shifting from perfectionism to curiosity. I'm committed to exploring life without fear of failure, starting with a daily walking experiment.
Finding balance isn't always about perfect productivity. Sometimes, it's about cooking a curry for your future self🍛 Even on gloomy days, a little effort goes a long way.
Celebrating Women's Day: How JENNIE's Ruby Inspires Women
Yesterday, JENNIE released her first studio album with 15 songs. I’ve been consuming a lot of JENNIE’s content for the past few weeks – not complaining, tho hahaha. And I thought that her album and story might be a great example of this year’s theme of International Women’s Day:”For ALL Women and Girls: Rights. Equality. Empowerment.” The story that I write might not directly translate the…
Between the Lines of Busy: How I Make Time to Read in this Digital Age
My Reading Trend Last Year Reflecting on my reading trend last year, I noticed that I didn’t even finish a book in some months, while I COULD read 8 books in December just because I wanted to achieve my goal of reading 30 books. So this year, I aim to read at least 2 books per month and intentionally make time to read. There were times when it was tough to focus on more than 5 pages. That’s…
Journaling Session: A Guide to Write Your Own Love Letter
Last Saturday I joined a journaling session. That was my second journaling session this year with mengenaldiri.id! My first encounter with them was back in 2021. I was losing myself and you know, with the pandemic and everything it was hard to navigate life and myself – internally. I like keeping journal to begin with – used to called it diary tho! haha but as I get older and learn more about…
