Surabaya Sprint, Bali Detour: Photoshoots, Cheap Movies, and a Delayed Flight From the Underworld

7:46 AM

If you’re asking where I disappeared to this week: Surabaya. Saw friends, touched grass, remembered I’m an extrovert with a battery life. (lies)

Then Mrs. Lord (aka my mother) landed in Indonesia, so I had to book a Bali ticket ASAP. Prices were high, I bought the lowest fare (still expensive), and my wallet filed for compensation.

Siola Photoshoot: Lights, Panic, Action








Met Cece, Koko, and Golden Girl at Siola for a mini shoot. I picked the lighting (me, a professional flashlight). It was fun and also embarrassing (do not ask). Seeing them = peak serotonin.



Café Hopping on a Broke Budget



Tried Surabaya cafés and realized I am financially allergic to cute pastries after buying flights + random snacks. 

Solution: watch Suicide Squad in Surabaya because it’s cheaper and I can afford more popcorn. Economics.

Nine-Years-Later Reunion




Met a longtime friend I hadn’t seen in 9 years. We speed-ran nine seasons of life in one sitting. I missed her.
 


Verdict: A good 3-day holiday. Then the plot twist.

Flight Delay From the Underworld

Today: sat on the plane for 2+ hours. Delayed.
Phone froze. Had to cancel a friend meet.
Seat neighbor vomited four times.
Weather was oven mode. My patience melted.

Was it the worst day? Surprisingly, no. Exhibit A: the bright sides.

My Four Tiny Joys
  1. Two Beard Papa éclairs for lunch. My coping mechanism is cream-filled.
  2. Yelled at Siri for not understanding my Bahasa-accent English. Comedy for one.
  3. Counted how many times my neighbor threw up. (Who am I.)
  4. Rescheduled the friend meet for tomorrow. Manifesting: better vibes.

I’m not going to spiral just because today was extra. I’m typing this on the way home, hunting random Wi-Fi like a street raccoon, and choosing to call it character development.

Wishing I won’t get crazy just because today is just too much for me. And of course, I hope tomorrow will get better again
And blabbing too much is not really good after all. Just wanna tell you what happens! Oh and of course I wrote this on my way home, searching for random wifi lol





From bad connection, with love,
