It was believed that she might have survived for up to 32 hours after the fall. However, the autopsy revealed that she died instantly, approximately 20 minutes after the incident.   Rinjani is an active volcano mountain in Indonesia, located in West Nusa Tenggara. It's famous amongst the hikers because it is the second highest volcano mountain in Indonesia, it offers you thrill and challenge because of its difficult geographical condition, and needs 2-4 days for hikers to reach the top.  Rinjani is definitely not for the amateurs because of its extremely steep and rocky trail.  According to the data, it was recorded that during 2016-2024, around 280 accidents happened in Rinjani, with 17 death and others are just 'injuries'.  Marins was originally supposed t...

 So, all the prices went up So, guys. I kinda wanna talk (or rambling, perhaps?) about the current economy, and inflation, etc other economic stuff that happened to me recently and kinda giving me stress (not gonna lie about this) If you haven't noticed, it seems like inflations are happening everywhere around the world. I came from Indonesia, and everytimes I opened the news/ had a phone call with my family, they're gonna complain about all the prices went up.  I live in Japan, the country that was (and still) known for its uniqueness, "country that doesn't experience inflation, but deflation instead" (at least, that's what my dad and everyone in my family used to say. But not anymore) well if you wanna know more in details about the 'rice issues', click this link If you haven't noticed, the rice's price is 3-4 times higher than it used to be in 2020. It's so crazy, and it became national news and people in my workplace are still complaini...

All these kind of questions, that I find.. intriguing and intimidating(?) will popped up everytime you open 'ask fm'. The app won't tell you who sent the questions, it'll be set as anonymous (although I believe, sometimes the user themselves knew who sent the questions already, huh ). The surprising part? People answered this questions, willingly! Why? Because they are bored! Ask.fm is a Q&A platform launched in Latvia, 2010. It reached it popularity's peak in 2013 (I was in middle school during that time). People will send you questions anonymously, and you can also send questions to others too. It was almost like a 'teenager confessions diary' at that time. All my friends downloaded the app and getting excited about the questions they got, sometimes the questions was...

Actually I don't read many comics, but during my childhood, I read few of comic series.  And my favorite was,    "The Adventure of Tintin"  Well, this post may turn to be a boring one, since I guess many of you are already so familiar with Tintin. A very very classical comic series, and I think it's part of everyone's childhood, haha. The comic was also adapted into a movie in 2011, and all my friends in elementary school watched it. But in case, you haven't knew anything about Tintin - stick with me! So "The Adventure of Tintin" was a comic about Tintin's adventure as a young journalist. Because of his job, he got to do investigations on discovering hidden secret of some places around the world. The comic also discussed about the friendship between Tintin and other people that also have big roles on his journey, such as Captain Haddock, Professor Calculus, and also his most loyal little b...
