About FELEGRIFITO...

Me, and whoever reading this blog, should not be surprised of how incompetent myself on being committed to regularly update this page.

Anyone can tell by how many times I had written this commitment on several of my posts. I will just stop trying to trap myself into such 'big' commitment. I can't even make myself watch a full series that consists of 14 episodes, with 1.5 hours long per episode. I'm not down for such a commitment....weird I know.

Anyway, I'm currently streaming Julie & Julia but the internet is horrible. And to add, this is a Sunday. My favorite day out of all the entire week. Yet, today is only filled by clouds and rains. Not at all my cup of tea, I only dig sunny Sunday.

So, what is FELEGRIFITO?

People often ask me since I keep using this name on so many things. My e-mail (not for the professional one of course, I mean I know I'm weird but not to that extent seriously), then my Instagram, and basically everything. I even put it on my custom made phone case. Some people came up with so many guesses, the funniest was "is it the acronym of your exes name?" :-) OH come on.

It all started way back to my junior high years, as far as I can remember. Instagram wasn't a hit back then, but I saw my favorite band (Hellogoodbye <3) on twitter posting photos on Instagram. So I made one too. I was trying to come up with a catchy username...I always wanted a catchy username for all of my social medias. For example, I named my twitter account @ekakongkalikong. Doesn't make sense at all but I bet you also think this is catchy, right!

I was into con movies during that time. So I looked it up online, what would be a thesaurus of a con man. I caught Grifter, as below for your reference:

Then I gave it a good thought. I believe I wouldn't make a good con man, grifter, or whatsoever. So I'd be a failed one. Failed Grifter. Not catchy enough.....let's tweak it into a more nonsensical word.

FELEGRIFITO it is.

So that's how the infamous alias of me was made :-)

Enjoy your weekend!

Why Do We Fall?

i just took a shower, and this thought suddenly hit me: "what is my favorite movie quote?" i have never been a big fan of quotes, it's even rare for me to use it as captions for my posts on instagram or anywhere else. well, i have to admit that it's pretty often for me to come across an inspiring quote that's very relevant to my situation. but still, i don't see why i have to use it for a photo caption that really doesn't have anything to do with the post (even when it does, it's just not my style lol ok what style) anyway, my favorite movie quote. why does it have to come from a movie? because i'm not really a book person so the chance is very low for me to find my fav quote from a book. then from a movie it will be! i'll start with what are my favorite movies. i am a very VERY VERY big fan of studio ghibli movies but i don't really find any lines that i could use as my fav quote (but believe me all the movies are marvelously inspir...

girls just wanna have fun!

first of all i'd like you, whoever you are who stumbled upon this post to check this out; a luvli (will never quit saying luvli instead of lovely) cover of Cyndi Lauper's song Girls Just Wanna Have Fun by George Ezra <3 & yes indeed that's all i want: f-u-n. no matter how busy & tiring my day was i would at least reward myself for going thru such hard day with a little fun, like having a me-time driving around & eating sushi & finish the day with a dessert. sweet, happy, fun way to end a hard day. or just simply sleep, which also a fun way to escape all the hardships of life for only hours yet it is surely effective :D by the way i just had another amazing-a-bit-stressful holiday trip to UK with only & only my sis! amazing? yes of course it was amazing to successfully visit UK and back again to Indonesia with your own itinerary. but stressful? yes it was also stressful! it was my 1st time going outside asia & having only my si...
