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 ...

Sebulan Di Bali



Kita sebulan di Bali. Lebih tepatnya Ubud karena kita cinta Ubud. Tapi bukan tanpa alasan kita datang kemari ya. H ambil kelas bahasa Indonesia di Ubud. Disuruh milih Jawa Tengah atau Bali, ya mending milih Bali sih aku ya. Pengen keluar dari atmosfer Jawa yang padat dan sibuk. Mending juga nikmatin hamparan padi di Ubud lol.

Nah kita juga sebulan ini jadi semacem pesakitan sih. H sakit duluan, demam plus pilek. Tau lah kalo pilek udah pasti nular ya. Apalagi seranjang. Udah pasti deh ketularan itu. Jadi aku ikut partisipasi. Sama-sama sakitnya, teller, pusing, demam, pilek. Sekolahnya dia juga bolos beberapa kali haha. Tapi tetep ya aku antar jemput persis ojek gitu. jadilah kulit ini semakin eksotis.

Karena 2 minggu pertama udah kek pesakitan yang luntang lantung di Ubud, akhirnya minggu ketiga pun kita coba eksplor daerah Klungkung-karangasem. Kita stay di Sidemen. Pas di tengah sawah lagi. Pokoknya puas lah ngeliatin sawah mulu. 

Hari pertama di Sidemen, sore harinya kita coba ke Padangbai. Lewat jalur yang bisa mampir ke goa lawah. Sore ya, otomatis baliknya jadi malem. Si H ini lagi sombong-sombongnya nyetir skuter. Jadi kalau diduluin mobil dia emosi, ato kalo nggak gitu ada driver yang pelan ditengah gitu dia bawannya emosi yang akhirnya ugal. Serem lho. Aku sempet marah banget karena dia gitu. tapi dasar dia, gw bilang gitu dia ngiranya gw gak percaya dia buat nyetir. Ingin kuberkata (agak) kotor. 

Nah sore itu nggak tau kenapa sih, kok tiba-tiba ya punya feeling “duh masa iya sih jatoh ini”. yawes sembari berdoa semoga dilindungi juga kan. 

Malemnya pas balik ke Sidemen, harusnya ambil jalur kanan karena harus belok kanan tapi dia berhenti di kiri. Trus ngebut kenceng pas belok bruak. Kepleset lah kita. Kondisi gelap, kita ga kenal jalur juga, jalanan berpasir, dia juga terlalu miring. 

Disitu guys gw bener-bener makasih banget atas kekuatan helm gw. Beruntungnya nggak ada kendaraan apapun dibelakang kita, meskipun mreka Cuma klaksonin aja tanpa bantu sama sekali lol (ini juga kejadian di Indomart pas kita bersihin luka, posisi rame banyak orang dan tentunya diliatin juga sama mereka eh tapi nggak ada yang bantu hahaha dan tangan kanan gw cuma bisa 90 derajat aja kesegala arah jadi susah banget pas bantu ngobatin tangan H). 

Kita beruntung siih, kata orang Jawa gitu ya, seenggak beruntungnya kita, kita masih tetep beruntung. Yang lecet banyak si H, gw ga ada lecet tapi tangannya yang bisa dilurusin. Besoknya kita ke rumah sakit buat cek tangan. Disitu guys gw saranin banget lu semua pake yang namanya asuransi kesehatan ntah dalam bentuk BPJS, atau asuransi perjalanan atau apapun yang buat cover kesehatan lu. Sumpah kemaren abis 350ribu (keliatannya kecil kan? Padal juga lumayan itu) gara-gara BPJS gw belom gw transfer ke pribadi sejak resign lol. Parah ih.

Jadi hikmahnya, jangan balapan. Toh tujuan tiap orang beda-beda (wkwkw ga nyambung). Trus lagi, asuransi kesehatan itu penting. Kalau kalian mikir “Ah gw ga pernah sakit”, ihhh sapa tau lu bakal jatuh mendadak kek gw kan. Trus pake helm itu penting! Kita super beruntung banget karena semuanya lagi pake baju dan celana panjang semuanya yang bikin lecet jadi minim. Padal kita biasanya koloran aja. Trus lagi, jangan pernah remehin ‘co-pilot’ lu kalo lagi nyetir. Mata 4 lebih baik daripada mata 2.

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, ...
