Goes to Bentara Budaya Jakarta #ArtsVenture

Alo!
So, the point of this post is I went to Bentara Budaya Jakarta with my brother. Actually, we went there last year, there's an exhibition about Japanese war.
Why did we go there? My brother appreciates art so much and so do I, also I like something historical. So we decided to go there and look around.

Remember the picture that I said my favorite? It's one of a picture describes about some bomb accidents in the Japanese war. And these pictures up here are all about it. It's me looking carefully to the pictures because right when I passed them, the vibes suddenly turns out blue. I decided to stop and felt it. These pictures still reminding me of don't forget to be always happy, even until now it still gives me that vibes.

So please, be happy.
