From our own ancestry, especially my sister in the context of this post, it should be no problem for her to be here (you know what I mean). Sorry if my sister looks a bit sullen in these photos, she was probably in a bad mood. My mom took the photos okay; I wasn't with them there at the time.

For your information, I, and my sister too, are of Chinese descent, but not too much. It's from my father's side. His own Chinese is from her mother, my paternal grandmother, and my own grandmother's Chinese is from her father, my great-grandfather. I will tell you more later about it.

Some photos of my sister at Ban Hing Kiong Temple with decoration of Mid-Autumn or Mooncake Festival of 2026. The decorations are nice especially the lanterns. This temple is the oldest temple in Manado City, built around 1800s, and located at today's Calaca Sub-district, Wenang District.

Yes, this is literally me. Apparently “I hate chess” and “I want to play another game” can coexist, let's say it's a toxic relationship. I am also still confused as to why I play chess almost every day, whether it's just to win, or to increase my rating, or to think.

Y2K Aesthetic in Web Design
At the turn of the new millennium, a new graphic style called Y2K aesthetic emerged. Y2K web design was translucent, iridescent, playful and shiny.

Foxes In Love @foxes-in-love.bsky.social · 28/09/2026
A comic of two foxes, one of whom is blue, the other is green. In this one, Blue and Green are sitting at a table, in front of a game board set up with several character figurines and various pieces of landscape terrain. On the table is also a measuring tape and a scattering of dice.
Green: Okay, that makes six. How many points did we need to dodge that strike?
Blue: Eight.
Green: Oof.

Both of the foxes look at the board pensively.
Blue: I guess that concludes the campaign. Another party wiped out in their first combat encounter.
Green: At this point we're just feeding adventurers to highwaymen.

I was here that day because I participated in a study tour by the Manado Dinding Community when I was still in this community. It was nice to chat with some travellers from Europe who visited this nature reserve that day, I liked it. I wish to meet more of them later.

He was one of my favourite scientists. I have been reading about him since I was in junior high school because the first time I knew about Wallace Line was from my junior high school geography textbooks. May his legacy always be told.

He identified a faunal divide that separated the animals on the western and eastern parts of the archipelago, now known as the Wallace Line. To the west of are found organisms related to Asiatic species; to the east, a mixture of species of Asian and Australian origins is present.

Because of his intensive work in the field he is generally considered the "father of biogeography", more specifically zoogeography. Around 1854 to 1862 he travelled to the Malay Archipelago from his journey there, he wrote the well-known "The Malay Archipelago".

For your information, Alfred Russel Wallace (1823-1913) was a British naturalist, biologist, geographer, explorer, anthropologist, and illustrator who was a leading expert on the geographical distribution of animal species during the 19th century.

If what most people believe about maneki-neko is true then please let it happen to me. May good fortune always be with me, including wisdom, health, good family, and good friends. May all that I hope for come true oh my Goddess. Really if I am successful I can help many people.

Traditionally, a raised right paw attract money or wealth, while a raised left paw attract customers or people (hence why you will always find this one version in many Chinese or Japanese shops). This one that I have has a raised left paw because I need it.

It is believed that maneki-neko originated Tokyo, then named as Edo, in 16th or 17th century. However, it was not until the late 19th century and early 20th century that maneki-neko became popular. Interestingly, this is known to the world not by the Japanese but by the Chinese.

Sofia Florina @sofiaflorina.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
To me, it's a piece of art, a symbol of hospitality and welcoming good energy. I appreciate the history and tradition of this thing. Folk tales, legends, and superstitions about cats are common all over the world and Japan is no exception of course with this thing.

This is my maneki-neko figurine that I have at home. This one that I have is gold-coloured and also solar powered inside a plastic display case. I love this, a traditional symbol of good fortune and wealth from Japanese culture.

Sangat sulit untuk menemukan peta ini, terutama di internet karena sangat sedikit yang mempunyai peta ini dan juga memublikasikannya. Peta ini mempunyai skala 1:2.150.000. Aku memosting ini untuk memberitahu bahwa dulu Gorontalo itu adalah bagian dari Sulawesi Utara.

Sofia Florina @sofiaflorina.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Sejak tahun 2000, Provinsi Gorontalo dibentuk setelah dimekarkan dari Provinsi Sulawesi Utara dengan ibukotanya Gorontalo dan sampai sekarang belum ada pemekaran provinsi baru dari Provinsi Sulawesi Utara (dan memang tidak akan pernah terjadi lagi sampai kapan pun).
100
Sofia Florina @sofiaflorina.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Pembagian administratifnya terdiri atas empat kabupaten—Bolaang Mongondow, Limboto, Minahasa, dan Sangihe Talaud—dan tiga kota: Manado dan Gorontalo sebagai kotamadya, dan Bitung sebagai kota administratif. Totalnya ada tujuh daerah tingkat dua. Ibukotanya adalah Manado.

Sofia Florina @sofiaflorina.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Ini adalah peta Provinsi Sulawesi Utara sebelum tahun 2000. Sebagaimana yang bisa dilihat, luas wilayahnya jauh lebih besar daripada sekarang karena saat itu Gorontalo belum menjadi provinsi sendiri, masih menjadi bagian dari wilayah Provinsi Sulawesi Utara.

It's been quite long since I listened to easy listening songs and film soundtracks from late 1960s and early 1970s, so nostalgic.
