30 Days of Writing Challenge Day 5: Your parents Let's start with the person who gave birth to me. The real boss in the house. An active person and love to try new things. From salsa, line dance, food photography, until she decided to do home baking business. After working for more than 25 years at an international sport brand company, I thought she decided to have a long rest as a working mom. But no, she just doesn't want to sit still. When she failed at something because of her, she won't stop blaming herself. I think I got the self-blaming thing from her. But the difference is, she doesn't give up easily. She will to find a way to make it work no matter what. You can check out her recent work at bakulanbudenani (please give some support!), and you'll find proof of my description. Moving on to her husband, the man whom I got the resemblance from. The face and about 80% of his personality runs to me, especially the careless one. A sweet tooth (as expected from a ...

30 Days Writing Challenge Day 4: places you want to visit Honestly, I've got little time to do this challenge writing. So I'll try to make this simple and short. Even though I already visit Japan earlier this year, it's still not enough. I want to comeback to Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Also exploring other cities like Hiroshima, Hokkaido, Kobe. I would love to explore it in Spring and Autumn. It will be a dream come true if that happen. If you ask me why I like Japan so much, well I don't know. Japan just has a special place in my heart :') Turkey has been added to my top wish list of countries I want to visit. I think Turkey is a country that has so many beautiful historical building with its complex history. And of course I would love to have a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia's magnificent sky. As for my home country, I really really want to visit Labuan Bajo. I think you can enjoy pretty much everything there. The calming blue sea, the breathtaking green hil...

30 Days Writing Challenge Day 2: things that makes you happy A friend once said. every time I eat it make others wanna eat too.  "Oh really?" I replied.  Since then, I asked some of my friends about this and all of them agreed. One of them said, "I love seeing how you eat so well, like you really enjoy the food". Then I remembered my mom once said when I don't like a food or not having an appetite, my face shows it. There's an interesting quotes related to this from a Korean drama called Hospital Playlist. The lead female character said there are three types of person in this world. First, the one who look happy when eating something. Second, the one who is the happiest when eating alone. Third, the one who is happy when seeing others eat. Well, now you know which type of person I am :) The other thing that makes me happy is strolling around the city and traveling with public transportation. Usually after work, I don't go straight to home. I always stop ...

30 Days Writing Challenge Day 1: Describe your personality In almost every conversation, I'm always gonna be the one who listen. I don't know how much stories I listened to but all of my friends love to share their stories with me anytime and anywhere. It's not easy to get to know me because basically I'm not a great storyteller and I'm lacking of life experience. I don't have much exciting stories to tell, to be honest. And here I am, spent my time thinking too much about what's the best description of my personality. I'm very trusted when it comes to travel and culinary related. My friends always ask me for food recommendation. I'm also the one who arrange travel plans which includes making itinerary, searching destination, buying tickets, etc. I'm the best travel and eating companion, well at least according to my them hahahaha. Despite how good I am with travel plans, turns out that I'm suck at planning the future. I'm far from ambiti...
