I said hey, what’s going on

Published by Justine

Fuckin’ hell, it’s already September. Can you believe?! I’ve come to the point where I don’t know what to write about anymore, that even my other blog is currently enjoying an annual drought. Usually I don’t let more than 6 months pass without publishing an entry but it just couldn’t be help. Was I that busy this year? I certainly still had time to watch Terrace House and a bunch of Korean dramas, so I can’t really say that I was too busy to write in here. I guess the need to formulate a proper blog post kind of lost its charm on me and updates result into bite-sized micro social media posts in the form of Instagram stories or Twitter updates. I don’t even post that much on Facebook anymore. Nowadays I feel like I’m chasing something with no definite destination. Is this how 30s feel like? Isn’t one supposed to have things figured out by now? 20s was a long, winding road full of reckless pursuits and bad decisions that I guess I’m …

Day 28 – Memories: Top 5 moments in your life

Published by Justine

I will try not to think about this too much because then it will be too hard to narrow down. I have been blessed with a fruitful life and choosing the top 5 moments will be a challenge. I’ll try to make this as concise as I can as well. In no particular order.. 1) Disneyland Hong Kong in 2006 (Disneyland, period!). Went there just a few months after it opened because just as all 90s kids are I am a complete Disney geek. We stayed at one of the Disney hotels and I begged my mom to take the Disney train with me from the city (everyone else took a cab) and we walked ALL the way from the train station to the hotel (didn’t take the shuttle, nothing). Needless to say I started bawling my eyes out when I reached the place. I had this weird moment where I just broke down because of happiness. I can’t wait to visit Disney America, Europe and Japan, no matter how old I am! 2) Watching …

Jakarta Friends

Published by Justine

I’m missing my Jakarta friends more than usual since there have been a few events here and there that for the first time since I’ve gone home, I was very sad to be missing. Apparently July 7 was quite the happening Saturday for a lot of people. My high school batch a.k.a the people I went to school with almost my whole life in Jakarta decided to have a huge reunion. The last time we had a reunion was in 2010, and not only was that one of the first major ones, I was also one of the main planners of the event. I’ve yet to see photos on Facebook but once I do I’m gonna be missing my old friends more than ever. I’m glad they had a blast and everyone got to catch up with each other. One of my ever dearest friends, Caroline, also celebrated her birthday on Saturday. We always have these special dinners and my special dinners are never the same without my Uni friends. I hope she had a …

Happily Married.. Really?

Published by Justine

I shouldnt be so surprised anymore when I catch up with old friends (hookups/whatnot) I havent seen in a long time and they tell me theyre married. This mindset of mine should be fixed that Im not in high school anymore, Im not even in uni anymore. Im so close to entering the mid-20s stage and everyone around me is gradually tying the knot (and having kids). Not only friends but even the cousins I grew up with are building their own families and sometimes I ask myself where it leaves me, am I really that idle? Then again, if Im happy with the way I live my life then it shouldnt be a problem. Speaking of weddings, one of my good friends from high school is getting married this weekend. Theyre both only 21. Im really happy they found each other but at the same time I cant help but think about how young they are. Ever since I graduated a year ago Ive already attended 2 weddings of uni friends and classmates but …
