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 ...

Impulsive Buying?



Kadang gw mikir, gw ini termasuk impulsive buyer nggak ya?

Satu hal yang bikin kita nggak akan jadi impulsive buyer adalah soal duit. Temen gw pernah nanya apakah gw sering beli-beli barang yang nggak direncanakan gitu. Jujur sih jarang banget sekarang. Dulu bisa aja gw ga ada angin badai tiba-tiba beli HP flip seken karena pengen aja punya, padahal juga nggak dipake 😑 

Sejak beberapa tahun terakhir gw udah mulai nahan diri untuk beli barang tanpa rencana. Biasanya gw tulis barang apa yang pengen atau butuh dibeli, dimasukin ke daftar prioritas berdasarkan list keinginan atau kebutuhan, kemudian direncanakan dan dibeli ketika duitnya udah ngumpul. 

Misal nih, gw butuh sepatu baru warnanya gw pengen putih, kebetulan harganya 600 ribu. Tapi di saat bersamaan gw juga butuh meja kerja yang kebetulan juga harganya 600 ribu. Udah ditulis sejak beberapa bulan lalu dan tinggal eksekusi aja kalau duitnya udah terkumpul. Ternyata saat duit terkumpul, urgensi beli meja kerja lebih tinggi daripada beli sepatu. Ya yang tereksekusi meja kerja jadinya. Tapi kalau ada duit lagi yang ntah kapan longgar , ya gw bakal beli sepatu itu karena udah masuk ke daftar tunggu eksekusi. 

Bukan tiba-tiba hari itu liat hari itu juga beli. 

Sama halnya dengan kaos F.R.I.E.N.D.S yang gw udah masuk list udah lama tapi nggak kebeli-beli karena belum nemu kaosnya. Eh waktu ada diskon, harganya sesuai budget, tentu langsung gw ambil. Kalaupun gw tiba-tiba pengen sesuatu, gw pasti tunggu selama seminggu apakah gw masih punya nafsu untuk memilikinya? Kalau masih, gw tunggu lagi sampai sebulan. Kalau perasaan gw udah datar nggak pengen lagi yaudah gw lepas. Karena pertimbangan gw sekarang lebih ke butuh apa nggak sih barang-barang ini. Atau kadang ketika mencari pilihan harga lain di marketplace udah secara sengaja aja tiba-tiba bosen dan males beli lagi.

Barang kecil-kecil yang nominalnya kadang 50 ribuan atau 100 ribuan ini kadang masuk pos "jajan" yang sering jadi pusat keboncosan tanpa disadari. Gw sadari ini cewek banyak banget godaan beli barang-barang murah-murah lucu-lucu yang nggak guna, potensi bocornya alusnya lebih tinggi daripada cowok. Cowok kalau mau jajan jarang banget yang harganya murah. Jarang aja cowo tiba-tiba beli tas lucu kecil buat kondangan seharga 100 ribu di Miniso kan?

Alasan lain gw jadi nggak gampang beli-beli adalah nggak adanya tempat untuk menyimpan barang-barang itu. Gw selalu berusaha nggak numpuk barang dan sortir barang yang gw nggak pake lagi. Prosesi sortir menyortir ini nggak asik lho 😓

Satu hal yang gw nggak bisa nggak jadi impulsive buyer adalah makanan. Apapun jenis makanannya kalau saat itu on the spot gw pengen makan itu ya gw beli. Nggak pake mikir-mikir. Karena... disimpannya di perut kemudian dibuang juga pada akhirnya 😁

Are you an impulsive buyer?

  1. Sama banget mbak. Dua tahun ini nggak begitu napsu beli2 barang, tp begitu ada diskon sering kalap pdhl barang yg nggak masuk wishlist. Huhu
    Mungkin boleh ditiru kl mau memutuskan beli barang tunggu reaksi 1 minggu dlu ya. Apakah masih butuh dan napsu atau berlalu gitu aja. Hihihi

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, ...
