It certainly feels like forever since I am sat face-to-face with a blank screen, ready to write. Gone were the days when I could just open a writing prompt every Saturday and jot away on my notebook to write short proses for my readers. And the saddest part is, I am well aware how writing…
Halo. Jujur, aneh rasanya membuka blog ini lagi setelah sekian lama vakum posting. Bagaimana tidak? Terakhir kali ada tanda-tanda kehidupan di blog ini, ya sekitar setahun yang lalu. Kalau ditanya apakah masih ada pembaca yang mau membaca ocehanku di sini, aku juga kayaknya nggak bisa jawab. Tahun sudah berganti, dan berhubung banyak banget teman-teman pembaca…
Yes, I know, it’s already several days into the year, but I think it’s never too late to come up with your own New Year’s resolution, even if you’re several months late! Here’s the story. After 2020 ended, I read my journal from start to finish, taking note of all the things I aspired to…
To be honest, I never expected my next blog post to be written on the very last day of 2020. I didn’t even plan to write anything a week ago, lest I’ll sound overly dramatic and emotional with all the reminiscence and rewind of everything that happened in 2020. I’ve seen enough posts about it.…
When I was a kid, my father almost always worked until very late every day. It baffled me to think that I never had a good, long, conversation with him until I hit puberty—not because we didn’t want to, but because he was never around, to begin with. After all, he always went to work…
I’m going to be brutally honest; I never had any intentions of publishing “Polaris Musim Dingin”. It’s true, you can ask my editor about it. It took months for me to let the very idea of publication simmer in my head before I finally relented, and let the book meet its readers.
Earlier this week, I received a package from my friend, Alicia (misshoneybug). I knew that the package was coming; my friend already told me beforehand about sending it over. But since I had been expecting it for a couple of weeks already, I couldn’t even begin to tell you how excited I was when I…
Being hospitalized is not fun. I never liked being punctured with needles all over, and I certainly don’t appreciate having to lay down all day to “rest”. Sometimes I feel my condition worsen just by staying in a hospital for too long. However, I just spent this week being hospitalized. This should explain why I…
When I said I would be taking a month off blogging, I certainly didn’t expect just how much I would miss doing it. A lot of things had happened during the month I was away from my blog, but at the same time, I didn’t feel like anything major had happened at all. Sure, there…
