Apologize for not replying to comments just yet, and for my less frequent uploads.

Apparently the illegal firework situation gets worse although it is no longer national holiday. I've been having episodes of panic attacks frequently because of the loud bangs produced by the fireworks, and it just feels like I'm living in a warzone with constant surprise explosions near my house that I can't anticipate almost daily. Sometimes it's in the afternoon, sometimes it's 11pm in the evening, it's just very stressful, I can’t function properly in the office and also my sleep has been disrupted for almost 2 months. We tried contacting the police but they still couldn't locate the people who are playing with the illegal fireworks just yet as they are always moving. I will also need to reduce my upload frequency for some time as I can’t function normally just yet in this situation.

Anyway, I hope everyone is all safe and healthy everywhere you are! Best regards.

Due to too much loud fireworks for almost a month nonstop during this time if the year in Indonesia, I will take some break doing Youtube for a while. My wife and I haven't slept properly for almost a month due to those loud explosions that is almost non stop everyday(yes, until 2am sometimes), we had some stress and anxiety issues due to frequent exposure to loud bangs and uncontrollable shakes most of the days, and we couldn't even go to our office to work.

I do still have some pre-uploaded videos that I made within these last few weeks, and those videos will be on-air every Sunday, and hopefully after this crazy period, I can get back to taking pictures, recording videos, and sharing my enjoyment of photography again with you.

Anyway thank you for your support 😊
