credo ut intelligam
credo ut intelligam I believe so that I may understand “This is an important lesson to remember when you’re having a bad day, a bad month, or a shitty year. Things will change: you won’t feel this way forever. And anyway, sometimes the hardest lessons to learn are the ones your soul needs most.…

parva leves capiunt animas
parva leves capiunt animas (latin) Small things occupy light minds. When I signed up to fly I merely wanted to see the world in all its vast glory, I hadn’t expected to see slummage, rampant poverty, and man-made destruction. Dishearteningly these are happening so close to home. Made attempts to carry pieces of the destination home…

hotel mulia senayan May’13
One night in Jakarta without setting foot proper in the capital is a pity, but I was sincerely too sleepy from jet lag and screwed-up cyclical body rhythms to get up from the comfortable bed. Here’s to the apparition that is me, that is not quite there in Jakarta. Hugeass room, just me and one…

Haneda Tokyo – May ’13
Raiding the local supermarkets is a no-go action in Japan! So well-stocked such that the food&beverage galore is every Japan-enthusiast’s worst nightmare… you’ll wanna cram the entire store into your baggage home.

another world, another lifetime
“Thomas Edison’s last words were ‘It’s very beautiful over there’. I don’t know where there is, but I believe it’s somewhere, and I hope it’s beautiful.” ― John Green, Looking for Alaska What you regard as beautiful is bizarre to some, perhaps your world doesn’t belong in their lifetime. xoxo

my beautiful reality
Ought to be asleep to be in good shape for flight but I’m still running on caffeine! Overdosed as usual. What’s new. Day out with my one of my favourite batchgirl Dia and I’ve found my favourite coffee fix! Affogato – espresso with vanilla icecream at 1-Caramel Dessert Boutique! Talking it out, making new plans…

I love you as certain dark things are loved
“And I, infinitesimal being, drunk with the great starry void, likeness, image of mystery, I felt myself a pure part of the abyss, I wheeled with the stars, my heart broke loose on the wind.” ― Pablo Neruda, 100 Love Sonnets

Carpe Diem
Seize the day. “It doesn’t matter what you did or where you were… it matters where you are and what you’re doing. Get out there! Sing the song in your heart and NEVER let anyone shut you up!!” ― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

[THAILAND] oo1. ISLAND AND THE CITY (Bangkok – Ko Samet)
The minute our home-bound aircraft took off, I missed Bangkok already. Even with my infected tummy hurting so badly from seafood poisoning, the land of a thousand smiles can’t shake me off. Thailand, I will be back!! The amount of insane things we did on this trip was kept to a minimal We capped it…

keeping passion at bay (or surrendering blindly to it)
“Passion makes a person stop eating, sleeping, working, feeling at peace. A lot of people are frightened because, when it appears, it demolishes all the old things it finds in its path. No one wants their life thrown into chaos. That is why a lot of people keep that threat under control, and are somehow…

vividly awake in every sense
“Time to leave now, get out of this room, go somewhere, anywhere; sharpen this feeling of happiness and freedom, stretch your limbs, fill your eyes, be awake, wider awake, vividly awake in every sense and every pore.” ― Stefan Zweig, The Post-Office Girl

be free
“Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.” ― Maxim Gorky, The Lower Depths and Other Plays

bright sunshine on a cold day
“As the years pass, I am coming more and more to understand that it is the common, everyday blessings of our common everyday lives for which we should be particularly grateful. They are the things that fill our lives with comfort and our hearts with gladness — just the pure air to breathe and the…
