ILLUSTRATION | The Eros Symbol

Mixed Media Illustration, 2015

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live,

mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same

time, the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing,

but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles

exploding like spiders across the stars and in the

middle you see the blue centerlight pop

and everybody goes "Awww!"

—Jack Kerouac

PORTRAIT | 30th Birthday

October 20th, 2015

The big 3.0 is finally here! I thought I was going to feel anxious about it. Turns out, I feel just the same, if not better! Honestly, it can be tempting at this time to look at what others have done or achieved in their life, and then to look at my own life and feel like I haven't done enough. But I know that this doesn't have to be about that after all, but more about what I want to do next in my life! I have to admit, I do have that perfectionist streak in me. Always striving to do better, and be better than I was yesterday, which can be good in one way, but tiring at the same time. Because it often takes me longer to do or to create things, as I make sure that everything works well, looks good, and makes sense. I'm still working on that. All I need to do now is to start being more present in the moment, and to begin a more intimate connection with my soul. A more mature connection. A more accepting connection. A more peaceful connection. Here's to another year of growing!

THE Y LABEL | 4th Anniversary

With Giffarin Rindiwandana and Larissa Duliar at Palalada, Alun Alun Indonesia

June 15th, 2015

Happy to finally find the time to catch up again, even though it was only for a brief anniversary lunch. I like to call our group 'Triopreneur' because we've participated in the same exhibitions together before, and our collections can be found at the same store, Alun Alun Indonesia. It truly has been great to know that I'm not alone, and as creatives, we truly go through similar experiences. Once again I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude for all the sharing, learning and understanding. Let's keep our passion burning bright, and our creative spirit alive!

WRITING | My Astrological Journey

Photo taken at Bromo, East Java, October 27th, 2013

January 5th, 2015

I guess any kind of transformation must be hard, initially, for anyone who has passion for something that not many people believe in. I myself have experienced some backlash from a few friends and family about my interest in astrology. One even asked whether I'm high. No, I'm not high. I don't do drugs. I am fully aware of what I've been doing. I am fully aware of every word I choose in my own writings. I wouldn't write anything I don't want to read. And I wouldn't share something I haven't experienced before in my life. I always try to share something that I believe could help my own personal growth, as well as somebody out there who might be going through a hard time and looking for uplifting, positive inspirations. This journey has been more of a commitment to myself, and to my inspirations. It has also been an exercise of confidence, time-management, communication and writing skills. You don't have to believe in what I have to say. If you don't want to read my writings simply don't read them, or stop following my posts. Sometimes I too, have to click the 'I don't want to see this' option on Facebook when I see a post I don't want to see or read. Although I don't often do that, because I try to learn from everything - the good, the bad, the positive, and the negative. It's all a matter of choice, and each choice is our prerogative. I don't know how all this will unfold in the future. For now, I just want to keep learning from my own experiences and my own choices. If I make a few mistakes along the way, I will learn. I will grow.
