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 ...

Darurat teror

Indonesia merupakan sasaran empuk serangkaian teror. Banyak kejadian teror yg terjadi di Indonesia dalam kurun waktu yg singkat. Teror terakhir yg terjadi adalah teror di Sarinah. Teror tersebut menewaskan beberapa orang termasuk peneror yg bersangkutan. Teror yg menjadi kejadian runtutnya kejadian teroris adalah bom Bali 1 yg terjadi di awal tahun 2000an.

Semenjak saat itu banyak kejadian teror yg terjadi. Dan tentunya mereka membawa nama Islam. Ah lagi2 kedok agama yg digunakan. Namun apakah sejatinya mereka adakah muslim? Atau hanyakah kedok belaka? yg mengetahui adalah mereka dan Allah semata. Sedangkan kita? Hanya bisa berkata2, berspekulasi, serta biasanya saling tuduh sana sini, bela sana sini, dan menyalahkan satu sama lain. Nahh.. itu, salah satu tujuan pelaku teror sudah terlaksana dg baik, yaitu memecah belah dan menakuti manusia yg tidak bersalah.

Mengapa Indonesia? Bisa jadi karena kemiskinan dan pemahaman yg salah tentang agama. Menyoal agama, agama mana sih yg nyuruh orang membunuh? Bukannya setiap agama menyuruh menyebar damai ya? Lagi2 soal pendidikan yg kurang. Pemahaman yg kurang disebabkan olh keterbatasan pengetahuan. Tuh kan, lagi2 pendidikan itu penting kok. Biar gimana juga pendidikan itu penting agar tidak 'salah terima' ilmu dg pemahaman yg sempit.

Faktor lain adalah kemiskinan. Ini menurut kacamata saya sih, kemiskinan dan keterbatasan serta kebutuhan akan uang membuat manusia gelap mata.  Bisa jadi mereka memang perlu uang tapi bingung harus melakukan apa, akhirnya dg iming2 'jihad'dan mendapat banyak uang dari pihak terkait, sehingga dia memutuskan untuk menjadi teroris.

Salah satu tujuan teroris adalah menyebarkan ketakutan kepada manusia. Tidak ada yg menyalahkan jika anda memang ingin berjihad dijalan Allah. Tapi dilihat dulu caranya. Kekerasan bukan jawaban untuk berjihad. Apakah anda tahu, menjadi seorang guru juga merupakan jihad. Jihad karena berjuang untuk mencerdaskan anak bangsa demi nanti dewasa mereka bisa menjadi orang yg berjuang di jalan Allah dengan kebaikan, bukan kekerasan.

Jangan salah, banyak teroris yg sudah ditangkap akhirnya menyadari jika hal yg dia lakukan adalah suatu hal salah dan mereka menyesal karena telah memilih kekerasan.

Dan saya rasa, teroris bukanlah orang yg beragama. Karena apapun agama anda, saya yakin 100% mengajarkan untuk menyebar kedamaian. Karena menurut saya, teroris adalah jalan pintas menuju kesesatan dunia akhirat.

Sekali lagi, mereka hanya akan menebar ketakutan. Please be smart! Jadilah orang yg setidaknya membantu orang lain yg sudah mulai 'terlihat sesat' agar kembali ke jalan yg benar. Sampaikanlah padanya, bukan teror lah jalan menuju restu Ilahi, namun bermanfaatnya anda bagi sesama dan lingkungan adalah sebaik2nya manusia.

Sebaik2nya manusia adalah manusia yg bermanfaat bagi orang lain. Bukan yg merugikan orang lain.

Have a nice day :)

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, ...
