#Day262 “life begins at the end of your comfort zone.”
Let me introduce you to my friend Jasleen Kaur, @97jasleen .

She is an exchange student from India, a partner in crime since Day 1 in USA. A sweet & cruel friend of mine.

May 5 is the first non-curfew night in Baltimore. I’m happy that the Baltimore riot ended, because Baltimore is a lovely city. I went there with my friends & family while seeing my dad playing band with Scotty P and friends in BarCocina.

I haven’t been to Fell’s Point since Day 2 in Maryland. It’s not really different. Baltimore is still Baltimore, and i liked it especially with my friends, and Jasleen & Mom were still with me.

Too bad i lost my phone that night. But they know how to cheered me up anyway. They took me to Pitango and bought Mojito Gelato that made my night.

Maryland is curently our comfort zone.

@mapinusi is a good photographer🙌

#Day262 the best kind of relationship is a relationship.

I captured different kinds of relationship on this picture yesterday.

Friendship on the left side far behind, Mother- Daughter in the middle, a lonely duck on the bay, and a boyfriend - girlfriend relationship on the right side.

All of them are sweet, but different kinds of sweet.

A friendship on the left might not be seen, but we know that it is exist.

The thing I realized about all of them is they were gazing at the same view, a duck swimming on the bay. The duck was alone, still eye-catching tho. The duck doesnt even need to try to get attention. I kinda saw that the duck was also in different kind of relationship. The duck was related to the nature, which makes a good combination.
Anyway, which one is your favorite?

#Day260 “You can take me out of Indonesia, but you can not take Indonesia out of me”

Yesterday i went to Around The World #PassportDC in DC. It’s an event where you could travel a lot of countries in a day. I went to 5 embassy. I was thinking about staying the whole day at The Embassy of Indonesia. But there are a lot of things to see! I went to Philliphine, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan and Nigeria. My favorite is Indonesia. Not to mention that I am indonesian, but there were a lot of things to do, music, gamelan, pencak silat, reog, angklung, batik lesson, historical corner, and food for free!

The night before i went to Gamelan Orchestra at UMD - College Park. So there was bo reason for me to miss home since i have been home too many times! 😄 I recommend you guys to go to Around The World #PassportDC next year! It’s worth it 😄 you could travel the world without going outside.

Next week, there’s gonna be a Europe Union Embassy Open House in DC! Dont miss it 😄

PS : I wore batik, which is indonesian traditional cloth

#Day261 Walk like we have purpose. Live because we have a purpose. Smile because there is a camera!
Nothing is better than a candid picture.

I spent my day boating with these girls in Annapolis. It was a beautiful day in Maryland. We walked around downtown Annapolis, eat crabs with old bay, ice cream, going to US naval academy and seeing street musicians.

Annapolis is a cute old town and a good place to hang out and chill ⛵️

#Day258 The Sticking Together Project.

today i went to school right before the 3rd period because my head was a lil bit dizzy this morning. So i was running late.

I surprised with all the sticky notes hanging on the wall. This is why i love OM. Today we had more than 7000 sticky notes to share kindness, silly things, and anti Bullying. More info about #TheStickingTogetherProject you all could see that on youtube by OMHS National Art Honor Society.

The first simple silly sticky note that i got today brighten my day, “You got this” It was from Ian. I got it right after i checked in. Late problems. My favorite was from Thomas “LIVE FREE”. No matter what happened stick into it, be you and do whatever you want to do!

It’s amazing how random words in a sticky note could affect somebody.

Did you all find my #ciamique sticky notes? ;)

 

Shoutout to Tim for jamming with me and Hannah & CRU for ice cream after school!

Keep the good vibes! #ciamique #NyanyianTanahAir #AFS (at Oakland Mills High School)
