When talking about avocado, I yearn for more es campur (mixed ice) or jus alpukat (avocado juice) with chocolate milk. In Indonesia as is some part of South East Asia, avocados are taken as desert companions. But then Dom, Melissa's husband, taught us to sprinkle of olive oil, salt and/or sugar on top of our avocados. I thought it was very exquisite. Olive oil boost the fruit's creamy texture and enhance its flavor. [...]

I  used to be a rather monochromatic and mostly in neutral shades. It was not until Melissa shared me the science of colors that I learnt how powerful it is when you add pallet of colors to your days. So my new obsession this holiday: bold colors. [...]

À Bout de Souffle (Breathless) is a movie to watch. If you have not, you should; and if you have you should watch it again. This Jean Luc Godard's masterpiece is the real thing.

My love for books grew since a very young age. I remember how my parents took me to the bookstore every single weekend, and since they were not much of a traveler back then; my first traveling adventures happened inside of my head. I remember waking up in a rainy Sunday morning and made my self a glass of hot chocolate and grab any book that Enid Blyton wrote. [...]

The Mahabharata comic series by Raden Ahmad Kosasih was one of my first comic collection. I was only eight years old when my mother introduced me to the grand work of this maestro. She used to read it to me as bed time stories. My favorite hero in this epic is the immortal Bisma, and the most unforgettable illustrated scene is Bisma’s sacrifice in Kurusetra land during the war of Bharathayuda, between the Pandawas and Kurawas. Born in West Java, on 4 April 1919, R.A. Kosasih was a writer and illustrator of traditional epic legends. [...]
