People (source: unsplash) Sebagai manusia dan makhluk yang memiliki pasangan, keluarga, teman-teman, dan bersosialisasi dengan manusia-manusia lain, pasti ga jarang ada yang bersinggungan atau bergesekan satu sama lain.

I was born in a society that...

I've been listening to A Whole New World these days. Any versions of it and I keep it on replay. I love both Zayn-Zhavia version and Mena-Naomi version, and not to forget the legendary original version Brad Kane-Lea Salonga.

According to my birth certificate, I'm turning 27 this year. It's weird because part of me still feels like 22, I don't know about you, but the actual age I currently am by today is 27. I've heard people say that 27 is a club, kind of. In this year, I learned not to let people opinions established the value I place on...

Udah lama banget nggak ngepost pake Bahasa Indonesia. Saya ada banyak cerita tentang banyak hal sebenarnya, tapi seiring dengan berkembangnya sosial media dan internet, membuat saya berpikir dua, tiga, bahkan entah sampai berapa kali sebelum memutuskan untuk menulis dan mengunggah gambar maupun tulisan tersebut ke dunia maya. But then, I decided to write this down, just because I want it. Sekaligus sebagai media saya untuk berbagi...

Thngs in 2018 (and the Knot) Felice Anno Nuovo! A lot of things happened in 2018. All ups and downs, until I realize that I (somehow) accomplished a lot of things on the list one by one.
