4 Things to Do During Self-Quarantine (That Are Not Napping or Snacking)

I've never thought that I'd be able to write about a topic that I am an expert in. But when I do, it is ironically when there's a pandemic outbreak like coronavirus. Or what some of you say Covid-19 case.

Now that almost all countries lockdown in their area, those who don't still recommend people to do self-quarantine in order to prevent the spreading of the virus. I understand some of you might get quite frustrated with the idea of having to isolate yourself from your environment. But guess what?! I shamelessly do this all the time.

I've got the privilege to work from home. And when I don't travel, what we call self-quarantine is basically my lifestyle. I barely meet people because I have all the conversations through e-mail, Slack, or Whatsapp.

Despite the fact I live with my parents, I have the second floor of my parents' house for me since my sister lives in Jakarta. The only creatures that get in touch with me often are basically just my cats. Some people see it as a miserable thing to happen to someone. I'd say it's a blessing.

So, in this post, I'll share with you some things to do during self-quarantine, in case you have no idea what to do during this hard time for everyone. Believe me, self-quarantine is not that hard. The hard thing is those people who still have to go to work to make their ends meet during this time.

7 Random Things You Need to Know About Brunei

What's the first thing that came up when you heard about Brunei? Was it the news from a few years ago when  George Clooney called out for hotel boycott over Brunei's LGBT laws?! Well, I'm not going political in this post. Instead, I want to share some random yet fascinating things you need to know about Brunei Darussalam. 

If you read my blog frequently, you might already know that sooner or later, I'm going to post something about Brunei here anyway. So, that's what I'm going to do today.

But this time, I'm not going to touch on the topic that has been on the news in the past few days. I'm going to focus on what I know and what I see from my last trip to Brunei Darussalam. At the same time, I'm going to share some random findings that I've found about the country as well! 😉

Is It So Wrong to Find A Sugar Daddy to Fund Your Travel?

The idea of writing this article came when recently, I stumbled upon a thread on one of the female traveler groups that I'm a member of. The OP was a sex worker based in one of the states in Australia, and basically she asked whether there's any other sex worker in the group. She wants to try some other opportunities outside her state but she wants to make sure that it's safe, and more importantly, legal.

What's surprising is the fact that the thread caused some backlash because some other girls actually called her out for being a whore. And that's pretty sad.

The thing is, she made it pretty clear that she had no one to oppress her to do what she does. It was based on her consent yet some people still called her out.

Not so long after that, there's another thread asking whether anyone has ever tried Miss Travel. And then some girls started to pass on the judgment about it being a lady escort's place to find their customers. Basically, the place for ladies to travel for free just by spreading their legs.

So then I decided to create this post with the hope that maybe, people could see both sides of the story instead of calling people that you barely even know ‘slut'.

11 Random Facts About the Countries in 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia and Some Smartass Prediction: Group E & F

It's Saturday again, and getting closer to the opening ceremony of World Cup 2018 in Russia!

Anyone planning to watch the match live in the stadium? Because if so, I absolutely envy you. It's always been my dream to watch the World Cup live in the stadium.

Never got any luck (or enough money) to do it, so I think with the visa-free for Indonesian passport holder in Qatar, my best (and nearest) opportunity to actually watch it will be in 2022.

But anyway, despite being sorry for myself and my passport and economy weakness, let's try the feature for those countries in Group E and F for this World Cup! 😀
