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 ...

Prasangka kita dan Tuhan

Ketika menginginkan satu hal terjadi, ada 3 hal yang saya yakin dan percaya :

1. Usaha tidak akan menghianati hasil. 1000 kali percobaan gagal, namun karena kegigihannya, dengan percobaan ke 1001 percobaanya berhasil. Kenapa? Karena dia sudah meruntuhkan tembok penghalang itu dipukulan ke 1001. Susah? Iya. Saya juga merasakan hal itu berat. Jika kita berusaha 30% maka hasil yang kita dapatkan akan 30%juga. Jika 100%, maka hasil yang lebih dari bayangan kita akan menghampiri. Putus asa itu lawannya. So, stay strong. Dont be so easily giving up. It is all about choice. You choose to win or lose.

2. Tuhan tidak akan memberikan cobaan diluar batas kemampuan kita. Percaya kenapa? Karena Tuhan sudah menyiapkan jawaban dari setiap cobaan yang akan kita hadapi. Selalu ada jawaban bahkan sebelum kita mengalaminya. The answers are always provided even before the questions are being asked. Saya yakin itu. Study kasus kasus pribadi saya. Karena kita akan mengetahui itu adalah sebuah jawaban ketika kita mendapatkan pertanyaan.

3. Prasangka kita adalah prasangka Tuhan. Itu berarti kita harus berpikir positif. Berpikir positif tidak mudah. Ketika kita sudah 90% berusaha, kemudian ada seseorang yang mengatakan "ahh itu tidak mungkin terjadi, kamu hanya menghayal". Sumpah demi Tuhan saya ingin membunuh orang itu. Sebuah keyakinan mental baja agar berhasil, tiba-tiba gagal karena mempercayai kata-kata negatif tersebut. Tapi kita harus melihat kenyataan, hmm kita melihat kenyataan kok, selalu ada peluang gagal dan berhasil dalam satu kali percobaan. Gagal dan berhasil memiliki peluang 0,5 masing-masing. Dan disitulah pikiran positif kita berperan. dengan berpikiran positif, otak kita akan tersugesti melakukan hal positif demi mencapai tujuan kita. Instead of thinking about the possibility of negative things that might happen. Or even already make a plan B, C, D and so. Because when you make plan B, that means you already open up a posibility of a failure. Well yea you can make the plan B only after if your plan A clearly doesnt work. Dan disitulah kecepatan kita dalam berpikir dan bertindak sedang diuji. Yang jelas, Prasangka kita adalah prasangka Tuhan.

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...

Gampangnya Apply e-visa Rusia

Red square Jadi, WNI diberi kemudahan untuk ke Rusia. Cukup dengan apply e-visa yang bisa didapatkan dalam hitungan hari saja. Meskipun sudah sering apply e-visa, tapi e-visa Rusia ini agak unik formulirnya. Jadi sebelum apply, gw baca gimana caranya di sini yang amat sangat runtut dan mudah dipahami. Sebelum isi formulir online, ada baiknya siapkan foto 3.5 x 4.5 dengan background putih dulu. Setelah itu jangan lupa untuk beli asuransi. Karena agak kepikiran, gw putuskan untuk beli asuransi dari perusahan yang ada di sana. Asuransi yang gw beli dari sini . Tadinya setelah beli kok nggak ada info apapun, bahkan bukti bayar pun nggak ada. Tapi petugasnya cukup tangkas setelah gw email, gw langsung dapat asuransinya. Nomer asuransi diperlukan untuk mengisi formulir, jadi harus beli asuransi sebelum apply visa.  Nah, bagi gw, ini formulir baru kali ini dapat pertanyaan yang unik-unik semacam apakah pernah pelatihan militer, wajib militer, pernah pegang / punya senjata, bahkan sampai ...
