  • November: A Whirlwind Month

    November has been super exhausting—physically, mentally, and financially. Yet somehow, here we are at the end of the month, staring at the last chapter of 2024. Time moves fast, eh? This month felt like a spending spree. I went to so many places—trying new food spots, attending events, exploring. It was fun, but let’s just…

  • Sunday Strolls with Nguyễn and Thái

    Last Sunday I left Bogor in the morning to meet up with Nguyễn and Thái, two friends from Việt Nam, at a Aneka 57 Café in Jakarta. They were visiting Indonesia and somehow, I ended up being their guide for the day. Honestly, I was a little nervous—I mean, I’m the local, so they were…

  • Dream Catcher Story

    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.

    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!

  • Get Well Soon, Bilo!

    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…

    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…

  • Drawing Picture for MOOC

    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…
