introduction


Well, hi.
My name is Runi. It is chrysanthemum in Bahasa Indonesia. My mother wanted to give me the flower name the way it is, but my grandmother thought it’s a bit masculine for a girl. Funny how the name of a flower can be masculine. I'd love to have chrysanthemum bush on my front yard one day.

I was born in one afternoon in September. As mom recalled, it wasn't raining and neither was it particularly hot. I love tons of things. I love cats or any animals of the feline family. I read books, mostly fiction, but I'd grab the ones that I find interesting instead anything from the top chart list. You'll find me reading books released in the 90s and still raving so much about it. I love discovering new music. I take pictures, and find them pretty therapeutic. I love to watch fish in a pond, swimming rather calmly. I’m pretty convinced that I used to be a fish in the previous life. I can talk about Harry Potter for hours. I believe mermaids do exist. I love peaches, both the fruit and the color. One of my current life goals is to be financially stable, so I could donate to as many non-profits that protecting animals as possible. Why am I telling you these things? I don’t know, maybe we could find a common interest, then be friends?

I write a lot. I got my first diary when I was 10—the one that had a lock on it, of course—and never stop keeping a diary with me ever since. I write a lot in many different mediums. I used to work as a copywriter, I got one of my short stories published in a major magazine, I write on my phone notes, or just do daily journaling. However, as you may notice, none actually ever end up here. I started to blog in 2011, but most of the posts are my endless rants of life (they still are, as I’m writing this down). One thing for sure: I will try to change this platform into something worth your while to read—maybe until I marry a prince and the royal law forced me to shut this blog down.

That’s a lot for an intro. Did you read it all?
