Getting my Hands on Film Camera

In attempts to slow_myself_down_away_from_digital_life, I am getting my hands on film camera. Yes, the kind of camera where you need to put the film roll in and then start snapping. If you are lucky, the pictures will turn up good but if not then we let the fate decide. This is not my first rodeo on using film camera, but it definitely the first ever to buy the film and develop it using my own money. It is not cheap, which I know.  What can I say, it's an expensive hobby.  I used my first film roll to take photos of my favorite people. So it has more human than random pictures. It was on family event. After the last shot, I wanted to develop it before I flew to Bali but they had no lab. Luckily we have the lab in Bali. I developed and scanned the film in Ojisanfilmlab Bali. They're just a google away. They sell the roll as well. I had to tell the TSA to do the hand checking rather putting it through the scanner. They understood.  Cimol hides himself in his favorite spot ...

Mengemis = mental miskin

Story of pengemis...

Kita sudah banyak mengetahui modus yg digunakan pengemis2 selama ini. Kadang ada rasa kasian ketika melihat orang tua renta meminta2, "terlihat" memprihatinkan, tak berdaya, ingin rasanya memberi.. tapi tiba2 terbesit dalam hati "iya kalo beneran minta2? Kalo bukan?? Kalo ternyata dia lebih kaya dari kita gimana?". Nahh... ada memang pkiran semacam itu. Tapi ada juga pikiran yg "yaudahlah kasih aja, rejeki orang mana ada yg tau jalannya dari mana. Kali aja dg kita kasih ke mereka, rejeki kita jadi lancar, who knows yaa". Namun ada kalanya juga yg menurutku nyebelin banget nih ya "aduh pngn ngasih tp kok hatinya setengah2 gini. Nggak deh", laa tiba2 si pengemis itu menghina mencaci kita "ya allah mbak, kok medit, wes ngene kok gak gelem ngekeki tho mbak mbak". Nahahh kalo ada yg kayak gitu, percaya deh gueh kalo dia cuman modus. Ntah modus apa yg jelas itu smakin buat respect-ku ilang. Tadinya kasian, ya ilang deh akhirnya.

Nah.. ada juga kan cerita yg pengemis hartanya jutaan dikampung, ada juga pengemis yg keluar ATM untuk menarik tunai yg tidak sedikit bahkan masih menyisakan banyak nominal yg lebih dari jumlah nominal di tabunganku. Sedih rasanya *sini nabung sampe puasa ehh hasilnya gak seberapa, situ yg cuma modal tangan aja tabungan uwaw banget*.

Tapi... disitu bedanya kita. Kalau anda hanya mendapatkan uang dari meminta2, sama artinya dg anda menjual harga diri anda. Disini kasusnya harga diri saya tinggi sekali, saya sgt menghargai diri saya sendiri. Saya juga sgt tak suka jika harus merendahkan harga diri sendiri dan menjualnya seperti itu. Memberikan nilai terhadap diri sendiri itu penting. Disini letak perbedaan kita dg bangsa maju lainnya. Mereka, bangsa maju, amat sangat menilai dan menghargai diri sendiri. Makanya mereka merasa tinggi, karena memang mereka merasa diri mereka pantas untuk dihargai tinggi. Kapan kita bisa maju kalo mental kita masih mental minta2 gini? Masih mental miskin?

Come on!!! Value yourself! Bekerja keraslah dan Hargai diri sendiri! Jika setiap orang seperti itu, dijamin deh kita akan mampu bersaing dg negara maju lainnya.

Ayo Indonesia, ditunggu aksinya!! 10 tahun lagi kita akan sejajar dg mereka yg sekarang menguasai dunia!!

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Taking a Train from Moscow City to Yaroslavky

walking to the wagon We chose deliberately in the winter to travel from Moscow to Yaroslavsky. In my defense, we kinda had to use the holiday a little bit. If we're waiting for the good weather, it probably not gonna happen for 3 months and then nothing again. So this trip was taken on February 2026. So we've decided to take a few days off going from Moscow to half of the golden ring. The name ring, means literally ring. Refers to a few cities that used to be very important in the past. Starting from Moscow city (where which we're coming from, technically). I have to mention the cities here anyway; Sergiyev Posad, Pereslavl Zalessky, Rostov Veliky, Yaroslavl, Kostroma, Ivanovo, Vladimir, and Suzdal. there will be info about the train  We took the train trip from Moscow. I would say it's the "normal type" of train. So we sat next to each other. Two seaters next to each other. I think my husband took the non-economy one. He booked the train from the app, tutu. T...

Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...
