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 ...

Your 74, papi

If only you were here now, I will be the first to say Happy Birthday to you. Unfortunately, God wants you to leave us forever. If you still with us, it could be your 74 right??

I still remember what we did together hehe.. Clearly remember. Always take to school and pick me up everyday to school. Always said that you will kick my friends if they make a mess with me. Sometimes you mad at me, I am ok with that because I was so young and bad hehe.. You always clean up your motor even it still clean and always in good condition. You love traditional music. You have lots cassete. I remember when you take me to school, and I kiss your hand, my teacher saw that and told me "Prisca, kalau kamu cium tangannya orang yg lebih tua, ciumnya harus bener bener dicium, jangan ditempel ke pipi saja", I did mistakes, and I kiss your hand sincerely from that time.

Always worry about me, worry when I came home late even just 5min. Always wants me to be a doctor, but finally I become a mathematicians, sorry papi hehe. Always told me that he didnt want me to have a special relationship with my neighbor haha.

Until he leave us, I never know what things that he wants to tell me. He said he wants to meet me, he ask me to see him, but I didnt come.

I am late, was late.. Never want him to leave me like that. I am sorry grandpa. If only I could turn back the time, if only... Just if only...

Semoga kau diberikan tempat terbaik di sisiNya, bersama orang2 yang kucintai lainnya. Aamiin..

I love you grandpa, my lovely Papi
Malang, August 14, 2014. Your 74.

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, ...
