Jogja Biennale XII - Not a Dead End

 

Continuing my last post with different theme *cause I feel bad for neglecting this blog* I’ll share some of my journey to Jogja Biennale XII in Jogja National Museum and Taman Budaya Yogyakarta. This is like annual art event in Jogja (and Jakarta as well, but I don’t know if there are more cities) and this year took Arabian (Or middle east?) as their theme. There are several venues of this event, and I went to 2 of them. The most interesting one is in Jogja National Museum. They have wonderful display and interesting collection, though some of them can be quite creepy in a way. But I quite enjoy the event, though sometimes I have no idea what the artist is trying to show through their piece. I thought it was a great and inspirational experience for me, who’s been busy with assignments and haven’t got to chill for a while. You can come to Jogja Biennale XII too since it’s still open until early January 2014.

Hello 2013, Good bye 2013

What year is today? We’re almost at the end of 2013! So I almost haven’t updating this blog for half a year, I guess? I’m in my 3^rd semester right now. Going to have my exam in a week *wish me luck!*. And I don’t know, in the middle of my busy college life, I found the urge to update my abandoned blog. As I read my old post, I really found my posts were cheesy and… immature? God, this is embarrassing I hope my friends won’t read my blog! 

2013 has been an interesting journey, up till now.  I learned a lot this year, gained new experiences and friends. I’m always a positive kind of person, so all the bad experiences I had this year were like blurs to me. I just took the lesson from every mistake that I made and moved on. I had my up and down. Maybe some of the down was boys related? Nah, just kidding *I don’t even want to talk about it*. But I guess overall 2013 is a happy year because I only shed tears less than 10 times this year, and mostly because I watched sad Korean movies –guys you definitely should watch wedding dress, I cry a river to that movie- and the rest are just my pent up anger, not sadness. I guess the highlight of 2013 is my vacation to Singapore hahaha I know I had such an uninteresting life.

I swear to myself that I’m not going to make New Year’s resolution because honestly that’s bullshit. I’m a carefree person and I’ll just do what I want to do in 2014. I’m just wishing for new opportunities to come to me, more happiness and less sadness, health, enough money to fulfill my shopping craze for knitted sweater *my undying love for knitted sweater!* and good marks on my upcoming exam.

This is such a short post, isn’t it? I don’t know I just had the urge to post something and nothing’s really come to my mind so I just randomly blabber to you I hope you guys don’t mind. Have a wonderful New Year people! May 2014 brings more happiness than sadness.
