Look and sound glamorous, and perhaps it is. Perks of working in Automattic, BTW. Time zone weirdness, post-pandemic travel stress, don’t get me started with visa application process, and new things you see as you go.

    Sydney, Australia — September 2024

    Sydney, Australia — September 2024

    Some eagle-eyed folks might already realized that this blog looked quite different, and it is. I moved my blog’s hosts to Hostinger — along with my photoblog (https://photos.corianderinpho.com/), and, currently thinking, the Impromptu Journal (https://impromptujournal.com/) — BTW, Impromptu Journal has been on hiatus for months, now. I’m thinking of reviving it along with a new… Continue reading

    Manchester and London Trip: April 2024

    Manchester and London Trip: April 2024

    A trip to Manchester and London. The museums, the parks, the best palak paneer I ever got in Manchester, the importance of recognizing one’s wealth and technological advancement usually comes from other nations’ expenses, and squirrels. Continue reading

    Life update and Bandung trip

    Life update and Bandung trip

    It has been, like… 3 weeks (?) after my last post of having hospitalized due to an accident, and I can say that I’m recovering. I’m pretty happy with the progress, although I must admit there are some aspects that I have strong opinions on. First is the cane. The walking cane. Or stick. Whatever.… Continue reading

    My favorite part of my trips

    My favorite part of my trips

    I’ve been living a (hashtag) blessed life as I had the opportunity to travel to different places as part of my work as an Automattician. Now that the Division Meetup in Munich, Germany is passed, I want to recap some of my favorite things from my travels so far. Orlando, United States of America (2019)… Continue reading

    Photo dump: Sapporo, Japan (October 2023)

    Photo dump: Sapporo, Japan (October 2023)

    Just recently, I went to Sapporo for a team meetup. As a company with distributed working/remote working Before It Was Cool™, Automattic understands the importance of meeting face-to-face. Yes, we do remote working, and yes, we also appreciate the opportunity to meet our co-workers in real life. Anyway, the trip was mostly work-related trip as… Continue reading

    The reason why airlines with flights bound to Asia should serve cup noodles

    The reason why airlines with flights bound to Asia should serve cup noodles

    … Or make it every airline company with every route. Cup noodles, a humble instant food, ready-to-eat with sodium, carbohydrates in the form of thin noodles, and hot soup that sometimes too hot when we slurped it impatiently as our tummy growls. Air travel usually is tiring. Exciting, for some and for first-timers and kids,… Continue reading

    Japan Trip: April – May 2023

    Japan Trip: April – May 2023

    Ari and I have been planning a family trip since last year, and one of the main factors was my kids’ jealousy of me because “mom always goes to cool places while we are stuck at home!” (So, no, they don’t miss me when I’m away for business trips. They are more annoyed by the… Continue reading
