Why swim at the bottom if you can do just that on top of the world?
A couple days ago I went to see Rio 2.
And of course, it really got me thinking, though not exactly about the movie (well, it is kind of about the movie, I mean, that’s why I’m writing this). What really got me thinking was the reaction from a random girl who accidentally sat beside me at the movie.
There are times when I’m excited for a challenge, weekly
However, this week‘s is poetry
which is scary
Poetry is not my strongest ability
It could drive me crazy
All because I have horrible vocabulary
This week‘s Photo Challenge is about capturing a monument.
It was quite a task for me to answer this challenge as I have a few photos of memorable monuments to choose from. After much consideration, I decided to put up this photo of Euro monument.
It is super interesting to be asked “why I blog” at this ‘late’ stage of blogging because actually this blog is not my first blog. (If you are curious enough, you can go here to read what I wrote way back when.)
I started my first blog back when I was 17 – super young and a bit naive. When the question of “why I blog” popped up, I thought about why I started blogging for a while and found something very interesting.
Akhirnya minggu lalu saya ikutan Pemilu.
Tanggal 9 April kemarin jadi hari yang cukup bersejarah untuk saya karena untuk pertama kalinya saya mengikuti Pemilu tingkat nasional.
Bila melihat kebelakang, pengalaman saya ikut Pemilu sangat minim. Waktu SD saya ingat pernah ikut beberapa pemilihan ketua kelas. SMP juga sama. Selepas SMP, saya tidak pernah lagi berpartisipasi dalam kegiatan Pemilu (termasuk kegiatan Pemilu kampus, tingkat kota, dan propinsi).
It feels like life begins there. In a middle-of-nowhere city.
It was her first time seeing snow; winter was October ’till May.
She was considered black – Conservatism? Racism?
For her, origin is such an ambiguous word.
She managed to create second, third, fourth family. She simply knows where she’s from.

Super hard challenge! I hope I did OK.
I am actually really torn about what I found in elementary public schools across Indonesia. Torn between sadness and laughter.
I really like the idea of this week‘s Weekly Photo Challenge: brings a street to life.
Looking through my pictures, I found the most suitable street that has served thousands of lives for thousands of years. It is the Primorsky Boulevard in Odessa, Ukraine.
I finally come to my senses and want to finally start writing about my Half-Round the World Trip.
My first stop on this trip was Taiwan.
