October in pictures
I started food logging this month, so I actually have gazillions of food pics. That said, I don’t think I would put all of them as it would be too many 😅

Women’s health on menstruation/period
Yeah, I know the title (and the topic) can be off-putting for some folks. That said, I honestly feel that we have been neglecting the topic of women’s health for far too long, up to a point that I would say we deliberately not talking about it, hm? It’s always “taboo” or “unladylike” or “uncouth”…

September in pictures
I wrote about Restoran Rose back in 2019 here. They now have moved locations, and the new restaurant is located right in front of the previous one.

Food-related series
I’m not sure if this is some kind of trend, but I have been noticing an increase in video clips, usually on Tiktok, from TV series. The clips are usually a “summary” of an episode and narrated by an AI voiceover. The names of the characters are wildly different from the actual characters’ name on…

“The Maid” by Nita Prose
I was checking my blog when I remembered I tried my hand at writing in the Indonesian language once recently — and quickly decided to revert to English. That said, I wanted to re-write the post now, in English. The post was Bahas Buku: “The Maid” oleh Nita Prose. Not exactly rewrite word by word,…

The Liebermann Papers on BBCPlayer
Sherlock Holmes was my entry point into the murder mystery genre, then kids-friendly-sans-murder mysteries such as Enid Blyton’s “The Famous Five”, Robert Arthur Jr.’s “Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators”, and Stefan Wolf/Rolf Kalmuczak‘s “TTKG”. Afterwards, there were some names, some were new, obscure, and some even haven’t got their well-deserved international recognition. One of…
