Blogger. Copywriter. I have made articles (online/printed magazines and websites) and company profiling. Was a guest blogger for AksiGuru.org. Been a jury for Acer Guraru (Guru Era Baru) Award in 2010 and 2011. Interested on health and education issues.

Enough enthusiasm on skincare and sunscreen. Plans to work out more, starts easy & slow after years of inertia. Buys books out of optimistic feeling, lets books stays unwrapped to be busy with work, lounging with family, or going out for movies. Could not figure out why ‘judes’ is translated to ‘bitchy’ in Google translate (while it’s just her natural resting face). Very rarely got a photoshoot, she keeps best shots as profile photos for as long as she can.

Passionate. Deliberate. Mordacious. Keen. Delicate balance between comfort and distress.
