It's been one year since I met her. One year, 12 months, 365 days.

I'm that kind of person who is easy to fall in love with a city. For example, some cities that I visited before, I love them all. I even made a persona for them. I see them as a 'person' in the city perspective.

I'm that kind of person who sees all the cities as a person with specific characteristics. They have feeling too, like a human being, like us.

But then, how about her? How about Milan?

Do you think I have that 'loving' feeling, to this city? To her.

I fall in love with her, easily. I feel like all the corner of the city is something interesting, despite all the traffic and unpredictable weather and how loud its people.

But, that is love, no?

We fall in love without we even thinking about how we fall in love.

She is Milan. She is pretty. She is unpredictable. Sometimes she is as cold as winter. Sometimes she is as warm as summer. She is photogenic. She is Milan.

There were a lot of surprises happened. Those unpredictable surprises. But if we look closer and stay longer, you can see that she is friendly and adorable. She is like that cold girl who you will never forget in the future. The thing is, there is something about her that you will miss.

But whatever happened in this city, I will always have a special feeling for her.

It's always a pleasure for me to know her.

People, food, and places.

It feels like I can accept her whole attitude now.

Let us be a good friend again until I don't know when.

Let's make another roller coaster year ahead, Milan.

In this current room, super new, super fresh room, I just moved this month. I have a single room so I can do whatever that I want in this room. On the right side, you can see world map from my friends in uni and tickets, postcards, that I visited before. This side is my traveler side, I want to show to myself that, I've been to a lot of places, yet still just a little part of the world. So it will motivate me to travel and learn more from people and places.

On the left side, there is a shelf with books, cosmetics, stationery, and things (random things that I want to show) with a small led lamp around to make it more fancy and happy and 'Tumblrsque'. I'm that kind of person who likes something cheerful and fancy to my room (even though actually my room is not that fancy). The happy room makes happier people. I like to make it even more pretty with photos. So I put some of the Instax photos near the shelf, with my favorite people here to remind me that I'm surrounded and blessed with all those people.

In the left side, there is a cactus chalkboard written In Bocca al Lupo (I wrote that by myself), near the bed, just to remind me that I need to do everything as my best. It's a classic Italian idiom that means "into the mouth of the wolf" that means; Good Luck! in general. That is one of my favorite Italian word (that I know, but I know just a little, so...).

Behind me (who took the pictures), there is a cupboard and the door. That was a bit messy at that time so I didn't take a picture of it. But I think you can imagine my room after you saw these pictures. Anyway, just like what I said before, in daily life, this room also contains bottles of water, items being dried, bags, and clothes on 'that chair'.

Afterall, I really like to stay here, play with my ukulele, browsing, take a nap, and just chill. Because it's still summer holiday. I hope this room will stay with me longer, I hope this will be my sweetest room until I finish my study. I really wish. I believe room that makes you feel comfortable with all the familiar things around you will rest you well in the night, will cheer you up when you are working and will make you be what you want to be in your own room.

How about your room, guys?
