I got tangled over my daily log, so now it’s free writing
time…
What have I been thinking lately? What is happening with me,
around me, beyond me?
And why the hell did I have that dream last night, and what
I thought about after.
Supernatural things never have been my cup of tea, yet I
dreamed about some freaky kid that my friend has and suddenly my mind was
wandering to the supernatural world, that is just how our mind works, I
presume. And on top of all that, I wet my bed a little. And now, my mind is thinking
over things that I shouldn’t be worrying about. How inconvenient, and my day
was awful, I don’t have any desire to work, I chat all day, and now… even a cup
of Joe didn’t do the trick.
But let us wait until I finished my coffee, and also finish
this writing, maybe things will get better. Meanwhile, around me, my family is
(still) a mess, I’m having trouble relating to people here, and my work sucks.
Hahaha seems like a lot of problems… well, it’s not really that bad, come to
think of it, now I’m still drinking a 10K cup of coffee and eating some friend
sesame bread with shrimp (whatever that is). There are people with bigger
problems, and most of them still survived the day just fine, without being
depressed (I do really hope so).
The fried bread is actually good stuff *nom nom nom…*. And after these things combined (writing,
coffee, and food) I actually feel better. Hmmm, oh yeah, I am also listening to
some music (not the music playing in this place, but my own music), Fix You by
Coldplay is playing now, and I’m running out of lines. Oh, how I do smoke a lot
today. I wonder how I will get a balanced life this way… Well, I guess somehow
I’ll manage. Let’s see now, bad feelings gone, (Love Song by 311 is playing) a
mild migraine is still here, I’m promising myself to do better at work
tomorrow, I will not limit myself but will know my own strength, talk to my
family more, get a lot more of new friends, and on top of all, being good.
Now, maybe I should talk about broader topics. Since about 3
years ago, I have been joining this photography community, Lomonesia, stand for
Lomography Society Indonesia. I think some of you might already know what that
is, while the rest of you don’t have a clue. So let me enlighten you in ways
that I think is best. If you know any other photography communities, what we do
is simply taking pictures. But, the catch is, in this digital world now, we in
Lomonesia are Analogue Lovers (I’ll get back to you about analogue). We shoot
photos using film cameras, and not only that, the cameras we used are unique in
every way (appearance, how to use, results). Analogue is the opposite of
digital, so the cameras we use are all mechanical (most of them plastic), using
film rolls, plastic lenses that create lo-fi images, and often the pictures are
unpredictable. Sounds like a scam, huh? Heheh…
Well, I really should show some pictures I made with those
plastic analogue cameras I got. And then maybe it will show how it is unique.
Anyway… enough with the introduction, so after moving to Bali, the first
friends I got is actually from this community, since it’s a worldwide community
and in Indonesia alone, there are representative in most of the major cities.
So, being a new guy in town, I got friends already, what a wonderful thing, not
being too alienated and all. Next step is making a movement, even now; we are
brewing a plan for some event for the community here in Bali, Godspeed…
