I’ve been ranting a lot about how irritating winter is in Northern Taiwan. Taiwan’s humidity makes cold weather difficult to bear, and it doesn’t even snow. Except in some of its high mountains, such as Hehuan mountain and Guanshan. Since winter’s almost ending, me and my friends decided to take a trip to Hehuan mountain …

Is it just me, or some people really are only meant to cross the path of our lives without having any clear memory whatsoever of their encounter with us? Why is it that impressions are not reciprocal? I may have a strong impression about someone, but on the other hand, it’s good enough that the …

Yesterday, my boyfriend reminded me to make this since my birthday’s coming up. As I went through my blog’s archives, I can’t believe I didn’t do this for my 23rd birthday. No wonder I can’t remember what I did on my birthday last year. Hahaa. It’s always fun to do this, although most of the …

Minggu ini saya terobsesi dengan drama korea berjudul Dream High. Kayaknya ini satu-satunya drama Korea yang pernah saya tonton dengan lengkap. Untungnya cuma ada 16 episode, karena biasanya kalau udah obsessed dengan sebuah film, saya bisa maraton nonton bahkan ampe berulang-ulang selama berhari-hari. I finished this one in three days. It was 16 episodes worth …

I got a bike! Gratis! Di Taiwan, salah satu mode of transportation-nya adalah sepeda, termasuk di kampus. Sejak awal saya datang, teman-teman saya mengatakan bahwa punya sepeda akan sangat membantu, terutama karena kompleks kampus kami cukup luas. Bagi saya pribadi sebenarnya saya ngga merasa kesulitan dan keberatan berjalan kaki dari asrama ke jurusan saya (atau …

Don’t Judge A Country Before You Set Foot In It

Ini bukan post tentang kesan saya mengenai hidup di Taiwan (mungkin minggu depan baru saya akan menulis tentang itu ). Post ini bermula dari status salah seorang teman di jejaring sosial yang menyinggung soal jeleknya kapitalisme. Saya langsung mengasosiasikan omelan teman saya itu dengan Amerika. It kind of happens naturally, since some people in Indonesia …

Beberapa waktu lalu, saya melihat video ini di post di salah satu Tumblog yang saya ikuti. Saya tertarik melihat judulnya : Amy Poehler at Harvard College Class Day. Pikiran pertama saya : “Wow. Is she the honor student of the year? … Tapi dari mukanya sepertinya udah cukup berumur. Apa mungkin dia alumni Harvard?” Bagi …
