About Living Your Life

Finally finished all the exams on this trimester! Hip hip hooray (though I really really hope I can pass well). Anyway this post is going to be about living your life. Someone said to me; go, travel, living your life, care less about your exam, good score is not going to determine your success. While another one outlined; don't be a bookworm, being a bookworm will much or less equal to being not success in the future, since you will have narrower mind and less experiences in life.

Well, this makes me think. Yes experience is important. Socializing and stuffs. Yes, going out is seen as living your life. But is it true that just because you're a bookworm, you can't be a successful person in future? Is it true that living your life always means going out and not studying or reading? What if your passion is actually in books? What if you're actually happy when you're reading? Do you have to sacrifice it for the sake of success?

Next, another another one said to me; success can't be that easily determined. There has to be priority. There has to be a balance.

I don't know. Until yesterday I thought besides university, staying home or at cafe or wandering around while reading novels would be perfect. Oh plus trying to write a novel again. But after this, I'm starting to ask myself, which one should I prioritize?

New Year, Don't Fear

Then for this post, it will recap my new year's eve, with my boyfriend. Again it's still at Den Haag. We spent it by watching fireworks, eating frozen pizza and drinking hot chocolate. It was still a really beautiful moment I never imagined before. As been warned, Dutch are crazy with fireworks during new years. And yes they were, eventhough it was raining that night. Eventhough it was cold and windy. Long story short, cheers for new year with no fear and cheers for wonderful one ahead!

Not a pro in taking fireworks photo, these all are even taken by my boyfriend.

Farewell 2012, thanks for being best one. Hello 2013, let you be a wonderful one!

O, O, Den Haag

As promised before, this is the post of photos recapping my christmas-new year holiday spent in The Netherlands with my boyfriend. It had been such a new experience for me, as from staying with the family, sleeping in the same bed with his mom, meeting his big big family and so forth and so forth. Overall, no words can describe how wonderful it was. I forget my homesick (though, still, Christmas didn't feel the same without family and the tradition going to Jogja). I ate Indonesian/Asian food literally everyday so I get fat again. I felt at least at home.

But now I feel double sick, as I miss my boyfriend, and I miss my family too. Nevermind, I should start studying for exam next two weeks, fighting!

P.S: I only stayed in Den Haag, and the weather's pretty much annoying (until I got sick literally now), however, these are the photos taken.

Having a date with him always means Burger King time.

Rainy Den Haag, o o Den Haag.

My boyfriend's university.

Netherlands and its infamous bikes.

Chilling at one of the cafe and after that, my camera's lens filter got fog inside of it. However for me this gave the photos a kind of unique filter/effect instead.

The central train station.

Places where mostly gave me better nutrition and fat (re: food).

Cheers from me and boyfriend in tram :)
