So wikipedia said that Salatiga is a city in Central Java, Indonesia and located between the cities of Semarang and Surakarta. It sits at the foot of Mount Merbabu(3,142 m) and Mount Telomoyo, and has a relatively cool climate due to its elevated position.

Got it? Okay let's continue.

First day back to my hometown, I went to Satya Wacana University or famous as UKSW (Universities Satya Wacana). Basically, my highschool was on the same location as the uni and my mom teaches at the uni so yeah I have a tiny little small feeling for this place :p

The path way is so green! Everyday after school I used to walk here.

emm.. This is called Tahu Aci. I usually ate this after school back then. You can buy this for only 5k :) cheap right? compare with what people sell at the Capital City.

Then, my dad took me to the rubber plantation, sounds cool huh? Well this "kebun karet" I don't know where exactly the location is *I bet you guys know more about it* was a famous location for any kinds of photoshoot.

So far, these are the photos from Salatiga that I've uploaded on my instagram. I'll write more as soon as I post other Salatiga's photos on my instagram.

Hummingbirds

Hummingbirds are INDEED one of my favorite animal. They are beautiful, unique, small, scientifically interesting to learn and fun to draw! Huitzilopochtli Even, from the myth and culture side; THEY ARE SMALL YET MIGHTY. The Aztec god of war Huitzilopochtli is often depicted as a hummingbird. It was also believed that fallen warriors would return to earth as Hummingbirds and butterflies. The Nahuatl word huitzil (hummingbird) is an onomatopoeic word derived from the sounds of the hummingbird's wing-beasts and zooming flight (Wikipedia). According to Defender of Wildlife , here're some facts about Hummingbirds: BASIC FACTS ABOUT HUMMINGBIRD Hummingbirds are small, colorful birds with iridescent feathers. Their name comes from the fact that they flap their wings so fast (about 80 times per second) that they make a humming noise. Hummingbirds can fly right, left, up, down, backwards, and even upside down. They are also able to hover by fl...

Day 6 - Something You Read

I just returned from Semarang today. We (me and my friend) went to a debating competition at Unnes (Universitas Negeri Semarang) to support our junior debaters. You know, I'm a third speaker btw. Then we went to this bookstore and I bought some books to read. (Taken at my study desk) That red novel over there is An Abundance of Katherines by John Green. I'm in love with the previous novel entitled The Fault in Our Stars by the same author. I cried when Hazel said she was a grenade, and when Augustus went really sick and died ! John Green was a genius!! And I hope An Abundance of Katherines will be as beautiful as The Fault in Our Stars. Yayy! and FYI I can't wait to watch the movie on June! Hope the movie won't dissapoint the readers. Here's the synopsis of An Abundance of Katherines (from the book) 19 Katherines and counting.. When it comes to relationships, Colin Singleton's type is a girls named Katherine....
