  • Cool, nice island! It’s pretty hot for me, but I prefer much colder weather as a baseline. More than the heat though, the humidity is so heavy it feels like I’m swimming through the air.

    Figure, though I have no reference how dry air actuality feels since it’s pretty much humid all year round.

    There was actually an earthquake about 30 minutes ago here!

    I didn’t even know that, the news says it’s pretty mild.

    I like it! Monsoon season is my favorite season. Plus the people here have been so kind, it’s been a really positive trip so far.

    Glad to hear that, the general consensus is we’re pretty friendly toward foreigner.

    Got any food recommendations?

    What have you tried?

    The usual suspects for Yogyakarta is :

    • Gudeg (Slow cooked Jackfruit, sweet/savory) Gudeg Pawon is the famous one.
    • Sate Klathak ( Satay, griilled meat )the famous one is Pak Bari (Mr Bari) or Pak Pong
    • Bakmi (noodles)
    • The House of Raminten, local legend serve pretty much everything
    • Angkringan, IDK how to describe this one, maybe it’s like Izakaya
    • Bakpia, some kinda biscuit.






  • I knew it haha. I already watching Journal with Witch since I love the manga so much. Grieve is such a strange feelings for me because I never experience a loss of immediate family, yet. Ofc I’ve lost pets/partner but I’m guessing a family member are a different beast altogether. In my mid 30s and dreading everyday cos my folks ain’t getting any younger.

    Now if the rest of the season is like first two, I think they did a goos job. Just the inclusion of sound alone make the 1st episode better than the manga IMO.

    “So that’s what Asa’s singing and how she sounds like”, I think this is the only series that make me yearn so much for adaptation, and quite surprise they did.

    Didn’t know about Wonder Egg Priority, I’ll check it out but the subject matter probably too dark for me though.





  • Backward bycicle, SmarterEveryday.

    I’ve done this with guitar on my early 20s. I’m righty and one day just decided to locked-in like Destin did to see what would happen. And like him it got to the point where something’s flipped and I could strum open/barre chord comfortably but didn’t get too far with melody though, picking hand is by miles much more awkward, orienting and holding the pick the right way is much more precise control than I thought. I could do decent enough legato to fool non-player.

    Then I stopped for a week and it’s just gone, I didn’t become ambidextrous.




  • In no particular order

    • Frieren
    • Natsume’s Book of Friend
    • Tanaka-kun is always listless
    • Hunter x Hunter (2011)
    • Seitokai Yakuindomo

    And if the rest of the season is as good as the pilot episode, Journal with Witch. I’ve been waiting for the episode to comes out so I can hear what Asa was singing before the Bieber joke. It was delightful.

    Eh, I’ll throw Sword of the Demon Hunter there aswell. I’m in my mid 30s so I don’t really care about battle scene as much, though I wish it got better animations. You could say the story is similar to Frieren, though not as tight.
