• Perihal Rasa Malas

    Belakangan ini, saya lagi nggak mood nulis. Kalau ditanya kenapa, alasannya banyak: kerjaan yang menggunung, baju kotor yang menunggu dicuci, bahan makanan yang menanti dimasak.

  • Why I Started Blogging & How I Blog Regularly for Over a Year

    With the coming of December, this means I have been posting regularly on my blog every single week for one whole year. Okay, maybe more than a year. Back in 2017, when I challenged myself to be more active in this blogosphere, I half-expected myself to quit halfway through, just like how I usually do my…
