In Bali when a person meets someone he knows somewhere..

ESPA Yeh Panes in Tabanan
I’ve been taking things for granted about living in Bali up until a few months back. Ever since I traveled around I realize that other cities I visit in Indonesia don’t really have the gems I have here in Bali.

How Nyepi REALLY is in Bali
A lot of friends in Twitter asked me stuffs about Nyepi today, mostly the dos and donts. I’ve lived in Bali my whole life, so although I am not a local I get a pretty good sight of what’s going on in Nyepi days. In theory there are four rules Hindu people must obey in Nyepi, this set of rules […]

I bet there’s an easier way […]
Denpasar: where to hang out?
That, my friend, is a tough question if you ask me. I hardly hang out in Denpasar anymore since I prefer just go get the hell home and come online. Let’s stop there before I sound like a guy in despair. If you’re a guy like me (read: don’t like crowd, can’t stand heat and can’t stand to live without the […]
Reintroducing: Lunatic Notes
If you’ve been wondering why I haven’t posted regularly here, it’s because I’ve been losing momentum and partly because I’ve a new playground to rant in. Reintroducing Lunatic Notes. It’s a new rantground for me and the boys to talk about tech and design. Mostly about making things work the way you want it to work. Nothing new, […]
