Let’s be friends!

I’m an Indonesian living in the United States. I was born & raised in Jakarta, Indonesia, then moved to Colorado, USA in 2007. Now I live in the Happiest City on earth, San Luis Obispo, California.

I grew up with British children books and European fairy tales, started to read at 5 years old because I wanted to read Tintin comics. I love anything European & my dream is to visit Ireland & London. However, I stranded here in the Wild Wild West. There must be something wrong with God’s answering machine when I left Him my message about my wish list.

Since I am Asian, I also grew up with everything Asian. Asian cooking, anime, manga, Asian entertainment, etc. I’m 35 now and I love to have friends from all over the world.

I love writing. I write just because I like it. I never published any of my work, but I wrote articles just for fun and they got published in a magazine, until I got a job there as an editor-in-chief.

I also love art, but I am not goood in making them. I tried and still try, although I am sure I have no talent.

Now I am a full time worker at a clinic for Alzheimer’s disease patients. I am still busy doing personal projects, writing and some other random projects I do as a freelancer, because I have experiences in several type of jobs before. I am also doing volunteer work for a non profit organization.
