Myself.

Basic introduction: my name is Amanda or Nona. Whatever you like to call. I have approximately nine nicknames from my full name to the given nicknames from my friends.

For now, temporarily, I live in South Jakarta. Why temporary? South Jakarta has a lot of beautiful art spaces, discussion forums, indie cinemas, yoga studios, edgy-kinda-lifestyle. Why won’t I live forever here? No, thanks. I have an optimism that someday I will leave this capital city and wander to the place I suppose to go.

I was raised in another big city in Java and for now, I am not intended to go back. It’s not because I do not love my ‘hometown,’ but contrarily in that town I dare myself to dream big: to go far far far away. So, I keep that promise in mind and finally, after turning 18 I moved to another town.

I had magnificent four years life in Malang. More than just a cumlaude predicate or classes I took in University, I learned about self consciousness and critical thinking from late night discussion accompanies by tubruk coffee and cigarette smoke (of my fellows). In addition, shores and highlands are within a stone throws from the downtown. So, it was like four years full of picnic for me…

Well, I wish that I could live nomad because I always seek for adventure: to new places, unique culture, and witnessing progressive movement.

From the aforementioned paragraph, I do believe that there is a vivid description of myself, that you could guess. Adventurous? Easy going? Friendly? Weirdo? Stubborn? All-right.

There is nothing interesting about me. But once you made me interested to you, you will get impressed toward my personality. Well, I assume myself to be a good listener, but if you crave for good stories… I have a bunch!

Love,

Amanda.
