Dream Catcher Story

March 27, 2024 Journal

Last week I heard that my friend/ex colleague from my previous workplace passed away because of her sickness. We were not that close but I feel sad hearing that news. One of her colleague, whom also a friend of mine uploaded an Instagram story update and showed her office room. My late friend had a beautiful dream catcher hanging on a corkboard behind her table at her working corner. I was frozen for a moment. My memory flies back toRead More

New Chapter in Life

Right after I graduated on August 2018, I wrote a list about what kind of job that I want.

But I remember that we should put specific details in our prayer and wish-list so yeah that’s why 😛 Long story short, I accepted the offer fromRead More

If Music Be The Food of Love, Play On

December 11, 2018 Music, MĂșsica ClĂĄsica

Oh it’s been a very very very long time since my last post and here I wanna tell you. I’ve graduated and I’m a clinical psychologist now!

Ah, so let’s talk about music.  *** I’ve been a fan of Bandung Philharmonic, a pro orchestra from BandungRead More

Get Well Soon, Bilo!

June 24, 2017 Random Things

So since I live home alone, my only friend is Bilo my almost 7y/o kitty-girl (if the invisible ones don’t counted). But in these last few weeks something weird happened to her. She started to eat palm-fiber from my house broom and vomit it out later. Bilo what’s happening to you? 🙁 Then I asked Giza’s hubby who’s a vet. He said long-haired cats like her will usually eat grass because of its high fiber, so she chews the broom for missed theRead More

March 2, 2016 mirzart

Been about a week from the day I said yes to Kat. Now guess what: all finished and I’m so glad that Kat and her team like my result! Kat said that she want a picture of me and her playing drum expressively. It’s so fun that in fact I can’t play that instrument at all. But then the omg-i’m-so-excited feeling didn’t went that well since I found that my drawing is so bad 🙁 So here I tell you the process.Read More

Drawing Picture for MOOC

February 25, 2016 mirzart

In October 2015 I participated to a music therapy workshop held by my campus. The speaker is Dr. Katrina McFerran, a board certified music therapist from University of Melbourne, Australia. After the workshop, I made a digital sketch of all of workshop participants and uploaded it on Facebook. I think it’s been a quite long time after the sketch I made, but yesterday I got a message from Katrina and she asked me if I interested to contribute to her newestRead More

From Strangers to Bestfriends

January 2, 2015 Friends

Selama taun 2014 aku punya dua kelompok temen baru, masing-masingnya cuma ketemu intens sama sekitar 6 bulan aja. They are AAX and Bandung Foodies.

Ini agak aneh sebenernya, waktu itu mereka adalah anak-anak baru di kantor dan aku sendiri udah lebih lama. Aku jadiRead More
