4 years ago, I made a blog because of my interest in writing. Through that platform, I want to improve my writing skills. That blog was intended for posting stories-fictions and so-called poems that I wrote. Around one or two years later, I also made this blog to share my thoughts and experiences. As I expected, being consistent to a new habit, especially when it is not an obligatory matter, is not easy. I ended up only wrote a few posts. Because of the unfortunate event that recently struck almost all part of the world including my country, I have been staying home for almost a week. I actually love being home. But, turns out the boredom hit me in few days since I only have some works left. I thought of what should I do for the time being to kill this boredom and suddenly remember of this blog. In fact, I already planned some contents for my Instagram for expanding my additional skills-or hobbies lol because I do not need to write too much words there. And then I thought, since I have more free time, why don’t I post on my blog too and write more? I can not let this url wasted! This might be a good start for me too. I account into 4 main focus. Read, Listen, Watch, and Made.

I am sure that I (almost) always borrowed a new book as I returned the other book

Just like most kids, it was started from picture books?-Japanese comic/manga to be exact. At that time I also read few full-text children books, but I started to have interest in middle school. My middle school’s library is my source of books, and I almost never took my library card. It has been in my thought since a long time ago that writing what I thought about the books that I read is the easiest way to polish up my writing and critical skills. I left some reviews on Goodreads but I still think reviewing is so hard. I am not picky to try something but I am so picky to left comment on something. Does it sounds weird?

I always love reading since I was little

My interest in music also started in middle school. Of course I also listened to music a lot before. But started from that time, I feel conscious and enjoy more about the music itself. Just like books, I also listen to wide range of music genres. This makes me have similar taste with most of my friends. But as the time goes by, my taste become more specific. I tend to listen to particular type of songs for most of the time. But, of course I still can enjoy songs out of that range, it is all depends on the mood! I mostly listened to Korean, my country’s-Indonesian, Western, and Japanese. But, one day I tried to listen to songs from several South East Asian countries. Guess what? I enjoy Thai songs a lot! especially the rap and RB one. They have very nice beat and I do not mind the language. On the contrary, I found it interesting. Long story short made this section because I discover a lot of good songs that a lot of people might not know. I want to share it because they definitely deserve more recognition. Other than songs, I also listen to podcast. I started because of studying for IELTS on 2018, to improve my listening skills. But now, I enjoy it more and more. It is a perfect solution when my eyes are tired but I want to gain some new information. I might rarely post about podcast since now I mostly listen to one podcast. But, I include it here in case I discover something interesting.
