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 ...

Snorkeling



‘Sayang, snorkeling yuk’

‘yuk!!!!’

Oh wait! I cant swim!

Sembari diketawain HJ, ‘you should learn how to swim since 5’

Duh aku butuh solusi!

Then somebody said ‘don’t worry, they have life jacket for you. You can do it although you can’t swim’
Yes! Cerah duniaku!

Ternyata, baru 2 tempat udah keok. Udah nggak kuat. Kaki udah kram, tangan udah pegel banget. Dan aku cenderung floating tapi ngadep langit. Ya apa apaan kalo endingnya ngambang tapi ngadep langit. Snorkeling kan ngadep bawah. 
 
gambarnya pinjem google

Pasalnya, pasalnya, itu kacamata snorklingnya itu bocor. Bukan bocor sih, tapi nggak water resistant. Duh apa sih namanya, semacem ngerembes gitu lho. Jadi kan udah nggak bisa renang ya, langsung dicemplungin laut, syok kaget trus napas pake idung. Dasar begoooo. La kan napas harus pake mulut ya. Duhh ini otak nggak singkron banget sih. Yang 2 lokasi pertama sih nggak seberapa bagus kata HJ dibandingin dengan 2 lokasi terakhir. Soalnya 2 lokasi terakhir itu liat kura-kura gede banget dan liat fish garden. Yang mana aku udah keok nggak berani nyemplung lagi. yaudah jadinya aku nunggu di boat ngobrol cantik sama mas-mas kapalnya. 

Btw, this was my first snorkeling. Dan dan dan…tetep jadi satu-satunya orang indonesia dikapal itu. Ini awak kapalnya jangan diitung lho ya. Itung penumpangnya aja, aku jadi yang paling eksotis sekapal. Read : yang bermuka paling kusem.


Promised him two things, to learn swim so we can dive later. Diving lho!!! Bayangkan! Diving!! Renang aja masih gaya batu dada, malah diving! Dia bilangnya ‘diving in shark point’. Sepuntene mas, budal o dewe. 

note: kita nggak bawa hape, kamera apapun sama sekali. jadi nggak ada sesi dokumentasi di part ini

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...

Gampangnya Apply e-visa Rusia

Red square Jadi, WNI diberi kemudahan untuk ke Rusia. Cukup dengan apply e-visa yang bisa didapatkan dalam hitungan hari saja. Meskipun sudah sering apply e-visa, tapi e-visa Rusia ini agak unik formulirnya. Jadi sebelum apply, gw baca gimana caranya di sini yang amat sangat runtut dan mudah dipahami. Sebelum isi formulir online, ada baiknya siapkan foto 3.5 x 4.5 dengan background putih dulu. Setelah itu jangan lupa untuk beli asuransi. Karena agak kepikiran, gw putuskan untuk beli asuransi dari perusahan yang ada di sana. Asuransi yang gw beli dari sini . Tadinya setelah beli kok nggak ada info apapun, bahkan bukti bayar pun nggak ada. Tapi petugasnya cukup tangkas setelah gw email, gw langsung dapat asuransinya. Nomer asuransi diperlukan untuk mengisi formulir, jadi harus beli asuransi sebelum apply visa.  Nah, bagi gw, ini formulir baru kali ini dapat pertanyaan yang unik-unik semacam apakah pernah pelatihan militer, wajib militer, pernah pegang / punya senjata, bahkan sampai ...
