Hey ๐
And Hello November!
This weekend, I had the opportunity to stay over at my cousinโs home. It was quite a reset as heโs living in the village a bit further away from the city center. Just as a typical neighborhood here in the village, it has the kind of view thatโs pretty unmatched.
On the way to his house, all I was seeing was like the type of drawing Iโd draw as a kindergartener. Thereโs corn fields, some clouds, a weird intersection somewhere ,and a blue sky painted over an off white canvas. I donโt get to see this view daily and whenever I visit his place, I am always thankful for that opportunity.
Currently in that place, the noise is pretty minimal. I am not sure if there would be more noise in the future but as someone who hates extra noise and some loud noise everyday at 3-4 AM in the morning, staying overnight there felt like I was transported to another realm.
It felt like even big cities are quiet in their own way. But where I am living now, itโs a full blown noise 24/7. There are studies overseas showing the link between socioeconomic status and environmental noise. While that study was in Montreal, I guess that can be applied or learned where I live now. Here is the study of this noise and socioeconomic status correlationin any case youโre interested and are experiencing similar things & looking for some approval on this issue.
Hosting Hive Book Chat
During the evening, I was hosting Hive Book Chat with my niece being around me. She kept trying to show me her toys and was needing my attention. By the way, if you have spare time every Saturday at 12PM UTC, feel free tuning in. This week, we have @bemier, @papageno26 and @omokhafue and @oluchi which was so intriguing that we all heard the enthusiastic voice of papageno, talking about yellowface from RF Kuang. It really makes you want to read the book.
It was also movie night for the family and we binged watched a lot of Indonesian horror movies. It was kind of fitting for the halloween vibe that we still felt. So, we binge watched quite a bit of it until 2 AM and some of our selection was pretty chilling and gore too. I might write reviews about them soon or maybe not cause I canโt even stomach them haha.
When it was time for me to leave, I didnโt want to. Parts of me didnโt want to go back to his extremely noisy environment that I came to hate. Since I also talk about free will, I am taking that chance to check out some other house I could live in. From my experience staying in that house, it was quite noise free and not as bad as this one where itโs full blown noise and not so random noise at 4 AM daily.
Obviously, itโs Sunday and that means church time. I had such an awesome experience at @littlenewthings church and still canโt move on from that one. My church in this city is a lot smaller and more intimate. This first week of the month, I got this during communion. Oh and I almost missed it because I woke up somewhat late ๐ but either way, I made it on time!
There are so many exciting things in my horizon that I can pick and choose. I learned lately not to get too ahead of myself or blow it all together. Patience is all I need and some thinking to do. Strangely, I am back alive and this has me adjusting to so much extra energy I have. Best I could right now? Going for a swim to shake it all off ๐.
Unlike previous November where it's often somber or often just a prolonged monsoon season, this time the weather didn't bother me a bit. I had way too many surprises in life recently that felt like waves after waves. The only thing I can do? ride the waves! See where life leads me, whatever it will be, I am sure I'll finally see "the sands on the horizon" just like this robin schulz song titled waves. And this is just another season of life too. So, I hope this month will be kind to me and the people I cherish lately too.
By the way, this was one of the most meaningful projects Iโve worked on this year regarding to Hive awareness in Indonesian (SeptโFeb 2024โ2025). You can learn how I managed it here :

Thank you so much for the mention and kind words ๐
I'm afraid I won't be able to come to these hangouts each and every time as it's right around lunch time for me and also I can't really manage to read a book every week.
But it was nice to interact with everyone and see what you had to say, I will definetely drop by some more in the future!
It's nice that you find some peace and quiet while staying over with your family. Sending you good vibes โจ
No worries @papageno26, having you there was a great addition and whenever you can, please don't hesitate to join the fun. So, feel free to drop by. We all so excited with your review on Yellowface and hope to read more from you once you finished the book ๐
It's definetely nice to be in a conversation with all these people that I see posting on Hive now and then, much more personal and fun.
I did finish the book and I will try to publish something more detailed about it, eventually.
The final element of suspense and twist at the end was a bit too easy to predict, I found, but overally it didn't take anything away from my general enjoyment and impressions from the book. Still a very entertaining and smart book!
Feels good to get really busy and enjoy it, but also find the enjoyment in those little getaways somewhere, doesn't it? I've been experiencing a few myself lately. Also good to feel November actually rolling in a bit. Some of that seasonal change which almost inspires and feels like personal change.
That's so true, it feels good to be busy again and to actually do something. Usually around November, I'd feel sad/sadder but this season of life, I feel like I could do so many things again. Let's hope this enthusiasm stays this way haha.
By the way, the other day during my flight back home, I met this young film director and gave him my hive card, kinda hope he'll find his way here haha.
Yeah it sounds like you've finally found some purpose. No longer kept down and now focused on things that really matter. Glad to see it :)
Oh, I get the noise everytime thing. Whenever I'm in school, cause I live the dorms, it is always noisy 24/7. And I hate it so much cause sometimes I have to put on my airpods and although I don't mind music, I want to be able to stay in peace and quiet for moments.
And that's another reasons why I don't want to resume anytime soon, there's peace and quiet here, well somewhat and highly depends on the mood my siblings are on๐.
I enjoyed our Saturday book chat too
๐ Hope to see you again this Saturday, I hope you're bringing your fantasy romance again, it's something I don't know about but I am always excited hearing why you read those literally works.

That was a really a good time you spend in the village of your cousin and you attended church on Sunday. You also watch horror movies and I hope you would often this kind of vacation.
It'd be nice to have it often for sure ๐
It's nice exploring, some us don't like noisy places, like me I love quiet places and I'm looking forward to your movie review, I'm a fan of horror movies.
I might not get around that horror movie thingy. I mean it was difficult to stomach.
