Hello lemons, it's been sometime since the last time life gave me a basket full of lemons. And today I received the basket again. So... I will sit with these emotions for a while. I don't have the solutions yet but they will arrive sooner or later. I refuse to host the long drama in … Continue reading Lemons
Weltanschauung
The book is altering my Weltanschauung ( world view). Probably the only history book that made me cry. After reading this book, I see Ompung Si Singamangaraja differently. I admire him completely. The title fits perfectly. Ahu si Singamangaraja, means I am Si Singamangaraja. The last words he said in his final moment before the … Continue reading Weltanschauung
A Fixer
I am used to be a 'fixer' at home and literally almost everywhere. Oftentimes, to the point where I walked all day with no energy left. I feel like I automatically have to smooth things out... If there's friction between my colleagues, I become that "friend" who brings everyone together, even just for a good … Continue reading A Fixer
Differ
Finally, I don't mind making her disappointed with me. Strange... But ... It's a big relief I'm here at this point right now. I navigate the world differently from her and I know she strongly disagrees with lots of my decisions. No .. I'm not blaming her anymore. And that's the point. I accept that … Continue reading Differ

Juni 2026 adalah Juni yang romantis. Tanggal 1 Juni, hujan datang ke Kota ini. Deras, sejuk, melenyapkan rasa gerah Dari suhu panas ekstrim dua minggu terakhir. Hujan bulan Juni, judul puisi Sapardi. Digambarkannya hujan bulan Juni sebagai hujan yang tabah merindu, bijak, dan arif menyimpan rasa yang tak bisa di ucap. Sudah jelas saya terpengaruh … Continue reading Juni 2026
Sunlight
Plenty of sunlight today in my town.. Sunlight is healing yes? And we have adapted well to receive all the goodness of sunlight. 😌😌. I remember growing up in a small village with also plenty of sunlight. From time to time when the heat is so severe, the asphalt road looks wavy. Why am I … Continue reading Sunlight
Celebration
Celebration of what is, that's my focus words this month. And as usual, the universe smiles on my cheesy belief, and since the universe has a very twisted sense of humor, they throw a lot of things on me this month. And I stand on my ground. I celebrate what is. I am good, and … Continue reading Celebration
Pause
Always, in a joyful pause like this time, a cup of tea, a drizzle of rain at night, I see beauty in almost everything around me. Almost? Yea... Almost is good enough for me. This momentary pause is not erasing all my problems, but these tiny slices of time remind me that I can rest … Continue reading Pause
Privilege
It's been some time since the last time I sat here on my front porch and typing on this blog. Today is Saturday and there's no schedule to go anywhere, I'm happily at home and sit on the verandah. I'm thinking about privilege now. I used to think I'm not having a 'privileged' life, no … Continue reading Privilege
