I
started writing diary since I was first grade on elementary school (5 y.o. to
be exact!). I still have that diary in my closet, along with all the diaries I
wrote afterwards. It recorded perfectly my first crush on junior high school,
my turbulences and hardship during high school, my first kiss, amazing birthday
surprises, and so on, and so on. Even sometimes I felt that diary was the only
one who could understand me better than anyone else (FYI, I gave nickname to
every diary I had & pretend it was my best friend).
Meanwhile,
my first blogging experience started 7 years ago. I remembered spent so many
times editing the layout, tried to write a soulful poem and fiction stories
too. You might visit it on ilovehana.wordpress.com. Please note that it was my
first blog, so no judging please (lol).

The
diary and blogging era was doomed when I changed my phone to Blackberry and later,
Iphone. Every minute or every second, the phone nudged and blinked showing a
new message. I texted heavily with friends, best-friends, frenemy, or my
current ex-boyfriend. I forgot how to write long sentences. I forgot how to express
my feeling & how to sink in soulful words. I was bitter & full of
sorrow.
Fast
forwarded to almost a decade later, I found joy in travelling. Fortunately, I
have managed to travel many beautiful places in the world. I travelled with
fabulousity a.k.a ate delicious food, going out with comfort without paying
expensive price. Some friends asked me how could I do that? Some others asked
how much money I earned to travel around and they started guessing. LOL. This
was pretty funny when what you have to do was just a research (okay, I have to
admit, tons of research). Instead of answering one by one like I did, my friend
suggested me to re-write on this blog. After thinking for a while, I was
challenged. I decided to write in English instead in my native language
(Indonesian). The main reason was because I wanted my friends (who came from
different background & languages) to be able to read this blog too;
especially those who seek for tips & guidance when travelling in Indonesia.
