This post is gonna involve the word "Australia" a lot. So for my fellow Indonesians out there not liking that, feel free to navigate away from this post. Vielen dank (I learnt a little German recently. Long story.) Anyway, so as you all might or might not know, I lived in Australia for more or less 6 years since I was 1-2 years old or so up until I was 7 (I guess). Before I went to Australia, I believe I've already known Bahasa Indonesia. Probably barely, but yea, whatever. So when since me and my family moved to Australia I guess I picked up English quite quickly. And I got into the culture, the habits, the mindset, etcetera. Long story short, me and my family eventually had to go back to Indonesia. When I got back to Indonesia, I literally forgot Bahasa Indonesia. And it took me like at least 3 months to remember the basics (or maybe re-learn it). What I'm tryin' to say is that there is this period of time where English was actually my only language. And be...

This video taught me a lot of things. To never give up, always be grateful, to chase my passions, to not let what people think overcome me, and many many more. Casey is an awesome human being and his life is as awesome as he is. He wasn't rich, he ran away from home when he was 15, he had a baby early in his life, his life wasn't exactly that good at all (at the beginning at least). But now he's a filmmaker, youtuber, content creator and his life is awesome. So yeah... If you think you're life is shit then look at this guy and what he had become. Never give up lads. Just never. Like NEVER.

So before I even started this blog, I use to write journals. Not exactly everyday but yeah I do write them often. But recently I started focusing on this blog and started to forget about my journal. This night, right before I wrote this, I stumbled upon it (long story). So I decided to share it to you. What I'm gonna share with you right now is a Journal I made at December 4 2015. The title was "change". It was inspired by a Ted Talk delivered by Jules Evans entitled "How philosophy can save your life". So Today is the fourth day of the first semester's finals. It was Science and Sports Education today. Science is a big deal. And guess what? I'm rather pessimistic about my results on it. I definitely messed up a lot of answers. So, hey.. What the hell should I do? I'm basically fucked you know. But then I accidentally got to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XuwYvFlNGns (it was a long story). It told me about how powerful philosophy was. ...

Since I was like 10 years old up until now there's probably no day in my life where I haven't listened to music. I think I'm the kind of guy who likes all sorts of music. From classic, acoustic, rock, to EDM, pop, rap, whatever. If I think it's good I'll listen to those stuff. But that's not what I want to talk about in this post. I want to answer a question. What kind of music defines me? That is one of the hardest questions of life, man. I mean, seriously. How am I suppose to pick one kind when I like to listen to like all of them? Well you know what I'll try to answer it anyway so let's see how it goes. First of all, to me, music is a media to tell stories. Music is a way of sharing. So with that being said, I think I'll definitely rule out EDM. I only like EDM because it gives you the fun and the hype and the sort of "togetherness" when you're amongst your friends jumping to it. But it's kinda hard to tell stories with i...

Okay so before we even start, I want you guys to know that yes I use the word "learnt" instead of "learned" and both are grammatically correct so don't you dare point that out as a typing mistake haha. The next thing that I want to address is that yes I only lived in Australia for 6 years since I was around 1-7 y/o and some of you might think that's enough to be qualified as "growing up" in a certain country but I'm sure some of you think otherwise. I don't really care but for me, I would definitely say that I did grew up there because it contributed a lot to my ways of thinking and perceiving, etc. First off, after I was born in Indonesia and I had only lived for about 1 year, my parents decided to go to Australia to study. We flew to Perth via Bali (because there was no straight flight from Yogyakarta to Perth (up until now I think)). We stayed in a small apartment in a place called Carlisle or somethin. And I pretty much spent like m...

I have experienced that one time in my life where I thought that I just have no use in this world and I might as well kill myself. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's thought of that. I was experiencing depression back then. I felt as if I'm carrying too much of a burden for someone my age and it is utterly unbearable. I've had a mental illness. The interesting thing is that I never told it to anyone. Not even my parents. I'm afraid that people wouldn't take me seriously. I'm afraid that they'll say I'm just weak or overreacting or whatever. Nobody actually knew I was depressed. That's just one example. Can you imagine all the people out there having the same or even worse conditions than me and they're afraid to share it to anyone whatsoever because they're scared that they'll be stigmatized and then society would pull away from them? I mean, they're lucky if in the end they could resolve it on their own like me. What i...

Elementary is a wonderful crime-drama TV Series on CBS starring Jonny Lee Miller and Lucy Liu. The series is about Sherlock Holmes (J. L. Miller) who fell into heroine-addiction and in the end was entrusted with a sober-companion named Joan Watson (Lucy Liu). This TV series is out every week (unlike BBC's Sherlock) which is one of the upsides. But that's not the only thing that I love about Elementary. I feel that Elementary is much simpler than BBC's Sherlock. I mean, let's admit that J. L. Miller isn't as perfect looking as Benedict Cumberbatch and that would obviously make the girls who would look into this series think twice. But trust me, there is a certain magnet in Elementary. And in fact, J. L. Miller plays Sherlock Holmes quite nicely. The coldness, the emotions, everything seems nice. And just to let you know, I'm also a fan of BBC's Sherlock. But the amount of patience I have to put to wait for Season 4 is just not that worth it compared to El...
