My Actifit Report Card: November 12, 2026
Today's report marks a 30-day streak of posting my activities with Actifit. I'm an Actifitter now! I had absolutely no idea how I managed to do this regularly without taking that first step on October 13th.
Since then I've had the weirdest time of my life but also learned a few things about myself and my surroundings.
When it's not too hot out, I like to walk on the balcony on the second floor. From here I can see the rooftops of all the neighbors and the clear sky above me. The balcony is also very close to the durian tree, so I can obsessively check up on the blooming durian flowers.
About the durians...
That one flower that I have been taking photos of, the one that started to form into a tiny durian fruit, slipped away. It fell during the rain yesterday. This is really sad and disheartening news but not unexpected. This is a young Banyuwangi durian tree. It's not even 5 years old, and yet it has started flowering this year.
That alone is already a blessing for us. It's done this three separate times in the past year. So really, it's done a wonderful, wonderful job.
There are still other flowers in different branches, but they are rather hard to reach. We keep wishing and hoping but realistically speaking......
It's hard to 'take care' of the durian tree at home. Most of the fruits we have in Jakarta come from other islands and are grown by farmers who've spent years after years perfecting their craft. Meanwhile, the non-farmers, like me and people who grow it at home, are just letting time and nature do their thing. A durian tree, left on its own, will usually bear fruits after a looong wait: 15 to 20 years.
Not every fruit survives, but hope does 🚶♂️✨💚
I can ramble on and on about durian trees, but I also need to do something about this if I want to see durians growing on this tree in my lifetime. This sloth has got to mooooove.
That is all from my walk today. Thank you for walking with me. Hopefully you enjoyed your activities, too!
