My name is Marya Budianta, I was born on the 2nd of September 1994 in Jakarta, Indonesia. Now living in Australia since August 2010. It's a quiet life indeed here, but as Kings of convenience quoted:
"Quiet is the new Loud"
Words are just tools to describe what you feel, while the real chemistry you just have to feel it in your heart. You can't always rely on the things you hear since it could frequently be misleading and a lot of people abuse the truth of words. You need to rely on your wisdom, and follow your heart.
“I believe that everything happens for a reason. People change so that you can learn to let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they're right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and sometimes good things fall apart so better things can fall together.”
― Marilyn Monroe

Always be happy with whatever shape or size you are born with… You are special just the way you are!

Bye bitches
I am always very curious why former followers choose a specific moment to leave me. It’s like… you stayed through the bondage shot but the tasteful artsy nude was the last straw?

I’m currently feeling ill with sore throat and flu. I’ve also been pretty depressed with schoolwork and feeling constantly pressured. Here I am, trying to write a list of the good things happening in my life to make myself feel better:
- Talked to a very close friend today on Skype
- Someone gave me some chips while I was having a meltdown today.
- The weather was not as hot as the typical Australian summer heat..
- I’ve been eating and exercising healthily
- Been having a very good rest
- Had a nice time chilling on Friday night with the drama allies
- The supervisor wasn’t there at work last saturday, therefore it became more relaxing and a lot less uptight.
- People supporting me for this final exam period.
- No more writer’s block: more songwriting ideas and inspirations.
- Haven’t been bullied for the whole school year.
- I have a lot more space to myself now.
- Employed as a music tech worker at Canberra Country Music Festival. I’ve always dreamed of working backstage, it never happened back in Indonesia because I had to be 18+ to do that.
- Been going to gigs, enjoying a lot of rock concerts. It’s great.
- Having the privilege to use free Wi-Fi at this accomodation.
- Lara and Katariina being there for me today when I was feeling down.
- Lee giving me hot tea to cool down my sore throat.
- Teacher being helpful with my drafts, unlike teachers in Indonesia who wouldn’t look at drafts and expect assignments to be submitted the day after. Here, there’s only 8 assignments per subject in a year. Something Indonesian teachers would give in a week.
- Jeremy giving me a back massage. It was so soothing haha :D
- Dancing in Andy’s mini bar, and getting a lift home from Connah.
- Getting good counselling from my psychologists
- Etc etc.
Wow, for a person in a bad mood I manage to write a handful of lists.
Maybe this is a good idea for you too, whenever you need to be reminded of the good things you already have. Wishful thinking is unhealthy, guys!

Water… Water.. Water.. Water..
How much will we save?
In an aquarium, there’s approximately 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (Ten septillion) molecules of H20…
How much water do you use a day?

I miss you so much, Sis..
I hope you understand what I feel…

Flying through the darkness and despair
I’ll keep you with me and our love we share
To build up my home” - Resonance by Marya Budianta

Well, yes I do.. My very lovely hometown by East of Java.
Hot and humid weather, yet warm and friendly people..
Martabak, Nasi Goreng, Tempe Penyet.. Those exotic dishes I took for granted all the time..

Hands down
I’m too proud, for love
But with eyes shut
It’s you I’m thinking of
But how we move from A to B it can’t be up to me
Cause I don’t know
Eye to eye, thigh to thigh, I let goI think I’m a little bit in love with you

Green - my most favourite colour of all times… :)
