  • Say Hey!
It's definitely not easy to write again. I can't even write any highlight of my 2017. While there are lots of things went by through the year. 

I even let January went by that easily without a single word here.

Hopefully, this time will be easier for me to write things down. Been managing pictures for a while, also planning to print a photobook too. I don't even know if I can manage to have the deadline very soon. 

Let's just hope there will be some time to arrange and design the book.
It's been a while since last I wrote something in here. I'm lost for words. I feel numb all over. The depression taking over my conscience.

But, you came along out of nowhere.

I still remember that first warm hugs that night. It makes me feel like I belong in the realm of your arm curves. Even if it's just a warm introducing hugs, it touched me deeper.

Never realize the meeting will turn out to be an unplanned date. The kiss goodnight so tenders shivering the back of my bones.

Should I not fall for you then?

Some say beautiful mistakes are still beautiful. While you're my handsome one.

So, please stay for a while.
Let me fall deep into the warmth of your kindle heart. Before everything breaks into nothingness.

Then, I will miss you 'till the end of time.


Thank you for the simple smile and silly jokes, you make me smile again.
After a while, I thought I don't have any purpose anymore to be alive.
I guess, there is always something to think about out of severe depression.

Thank you for making me feel so happy.
Thank you for becoming the reason to face my everyday.
Thank you for the kindness heart-care and attention.

Last but not least, thank you for letting me to love you, for now.





Coming back to this town with fresh new friends was so much different. The longing feeling just to feel the vibe of this place. Mesmerizing memories and just sit there to think, contemplate and thankful. 

It's been quite a while since last I went to this city. Maybe around 6-8 years ago, some friends really do asked me to come and visit. Sometimes with a lot reason the trip just never happened. 

Until last Monday.

The unexpected trip which I eagerly to say yes to.


THE WATER PALACE

First entrance
We went to this place at the last minute before they closed of. Just happened to meet an old man as a guide. Even for so many times going to this place there's always some part of this place we don't know. He told us about the history of each used to be room. Why the all the entrances are made with shallow head? Do you know the story about this? 

The Rest of the Memories

Ruins
It's very hot day and standing here feeling the winds was fantastic. Too bad the schedule wouldn't let me to just be for a while. Since we need to go to another destination.
Standing Still

Door to the Past


Let's go 



The Main Shower Place

Guards Waiting Room
Maybe someday our path will cross!


Damn period!

That's the first reaction when I finally said yes to the invitation to one-day getaway. Because having the first day or two was the most uncomfortable one. Let alone need to travel. Anyway, I never actually traveling in such a rush. But this time I really need the quick trip away from this crazy town. I've been wanting to go to Jogja for a while. Can't seem to find the perfect time or just the money to go. When the time is right, the money not cooperating. When there's money, the timing was never right. That's why since this trip being paid for - I just said YES to the last minute.

I miss being in Jogja and hanging out with my dear friends who live there. Since the time constraint, I'm happy yet a bit sad won't  be able to meet them. I went during weekdays they're all working. I have to accept the facts.

Anyway, I went with four gentlemen. They're celebrating their work progress by going on a one-day trip. I was just the last-minute invitee.



I'm just happy to be able to take some of their pictures. Pretending to become a so-called-photographer, the least I can do to actually paid my free trip was with taking them nice pics.

These pictures of them were at the Taman Sari - a place for the mistresses of Sultan and the children, back in those days. This place open from morning until 5PM in the afternoon. My suggestion go there when the lights still up, so you will be able to take some good shoot. Still, if it's too bright there will be a chance for you to get lots of backlight too. That's happened when I was there. It was just too hot for a day in Jogja.

The least to say other than the hot weather, the ticket for the domestic is quite cheap, less than USD 1. I'm sorry didn't get a chance to ask and realize asking for the foreigner price.


PUTHUK SETUMBU

We woke up really early for the sunrise and the hike to this place. It's a bit far from Jogja about 2 hours drive alone. Depends on your driver though. The place still in ongoing construction from the road to the homestays.

There was also a ticket price to go in. Just prepare some cash when you're planning to come to this place.

A small hill for 15 minutes hikes just to see the sunrise on Borobudur Temple from the other side.
First Light at Puthuk Sethumbu
Maybe it's only a one-day trip but to be able to have additional new friends and come back to Jogja after all these years just one hell of a nice trip for me. Finished the roll in my camera too and reload a new film of black and white. I cannot wait for the result.

Morning Coffee
Gorgeous Lights

Floating Leaves

Hopefully, your week also as great as mine!




There’s hell in Hello, and there’s good in Goodbye – anonymous

Don’t break my heart before I give it to you| don’t tell me no before I ask you to| don’t say it doesn’t fit before you try it on| there’s too much to lose to be wrong

I never consider your kiss as a goodbye. But, it’s a ‘see you soon’ kiss. I know it’s going to be a long one and a half month for me, waiting for you to come back. But, it’s worth to wait.  The thought of you leaving just to come back, really ease the feelings. Because I know soon, I’m going to see you again.

And it feels like there’s something here| but I wanna see it before it disappears| and if there’s something real between me and you| well are we both open to

The way you said on that last night before you drifted to the land of dream, “It’s all you...’ really caught me. Even so, you tried very hard not to show your emotion with me, but I can really see through inside. You tried so hard to keep telling me that you still have an issue with your past.  Which I don’t really bother about it, the past stays in the past. While I’m here, breathe and be with you. Somehow what I believe is you still don’t want to admit, we do have a little something here.

All these possibilities| so many little possibilities| right in front of us| close enough to touch and far enough to have some time to see

The way you tricked me, mock and teased me said it all. The sweet unconscious things you said or did to me also proved that we have something here. Even I don’t want to rush to judge the feelings, but I know deep down, somehow, you do care for me. It’s the little things you said which somehow you’ll forget. But I know at some point when you said it you mean it. I’m glad I’m kind of impulsive the night we first met. But we still have lots of time in front of us.

Before you go on that plane, on the way to the queue line, you teased me again.
You said, “I don’t know what’s going on, but somehow, something about us works. Which is I can just say whatever without having to be feel something or think about it. While with the others, I’ll start to stutter.”

Those small things you said really makes butterflies in my stomach, and my heart skips a beat. Somehow I want to believe, you know it’s easy to make me happy. It’s the small things you do from the unplanned which can works like a charm to me.

You’re a wonderful person, a really nice one.  Yet, you try to hide those wonderful things, behind the silliness and craziness.  A true person who cares about people around him, yet you hide them for your own sake, so you’re not going to be broken again.

All these possibilities| Oh these possibilities| Are written in the stars | We are who we are, baby| And I can’t help but think that possibly | There’s possibility

So, believe in possibilities. YOU CAN be HAPPY!

Song lyric Freddie Stroma – Possibilities 
Bali and it's never ending surprises! This will be my first time this year to be on this island again. Will be going again soon to meet up with some friends from far away land.



I don't really have much to say about this island. You definitely can find lots of things around the net about this island and how gorgeous it this the view. You can definitely see the most beautiful sunsets and sunrises, the amazing view of the cliffs and beaches. Lots of temples for sure and beautiful gates too!



I am indeed lucky to be living in this country with lots of amazing view of islands.

One thing for sure every time I went to this place always to hang out with some friends, find a new spot to take some pictures. Meeting old friends for some reunion over coffee with a view. Things we don't get to see while in Jakarta.

Coffee with me?
So, if one day you want to hang out and see Bali, let me know. Maybe when the time is right we can hang out together.

May your dreams come true,

I always dream to be on this island for a long time. Back in 2015 I already booked a ticket to go by myself. Crazy things happened one the mountain blew and made all the flight canceled that day.

Chances are just beginning of this month, I met this fellow trip of mine and encourage me to go with them. I didn't think twice and directly say YES to them. They helped me booked the promo ticket too. 

Hello, Lombok!
So, then here we go!

We were going from Bali to Lombok with a promo ticket. Since it's still Ramadan season, some of the tickets are being on a sale. The flight was only like 15 mins from Ngurah Rai International Airport - Bali.

This view was when the captain said we will be landed shortly. My excitement soars like a kid getting a new toy! I've been looking for this trip so bad. Stepping into this island will cross one more bucket list in my life.

"Why do you go away? So that you can come back. So that you can see the place you came from with new eyes and extra colors. And the people there see you differently, too. Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving." - Terry Pratchett, A Hat Full of Sky

View from the plane
The excitement arose just when we landed and welcomed with this gorgeous view of the sunset.

Starting to love Lombok for the first look.

Hello, Patrick!

Pink Beach
Meresa Hills
Feel free to check out Instagram @diklik_tour and @actortrio_lombok if you really want to excitement to be arranged professionally with them.

May your dream come true,

For me, it’s never easy to talk about myself. I don’t know why. I found it very weird. But, when you want to know about me I can quickly answer everything. So, just don’t! *biggrin* It still feel surreal that I finally leaving my 30’s – this is ever weirder because I feel like I haven’t achieved anything for the last decade. I can’t even say anything I can be proud about. Still, I really thankful for everything happened. Especially those things that make a positive impact on experiences in life.

On the religious side, I will always be grateful to God. No matter what the situation, He will always be my anchor to hold on to. Therefore, I am indeed blessed to be able to reach another age in this millennial year. When empathy is written on the social media, rather than being said directly. Where people more mobile than once before in the last 20 years. Where news travels faster than a lightning bolt, sure you experience this, also when hoax spreading more effective like incurable diseases throughout the whole nation.

A dear friend of mine once told me about being at 40. She was indeed glowing when she told me about her stories. I mesmerized by how she can tell me how fun yet challenging at the same time. The difference with my situation only the marriage part.
I am single, happy and ready to mingle 
Friends have been wondering and family member doesn't even ask me again about this status. I'm sure I have lots of them curious, but I am sure also the time is not right for me to distract myself from this kind of situation. I believe being in a relationship takes more of your time and attention, while my parent still needs more attention at the moment (yes, I still lived with them until this very moment)


Sometimes it's kinda scary to think about how time flies really fast. I still have a lot to achieve, dreams to fulfilled which I don't even know where to start. 


So, thank you for all of you who remember my birthday - which I never put a reminder in any social media I have. Thank you for all the prayers and wishes, I am glad I have you to share my day with. Never been party goers or going out to celebrate, I'm more a laid back person to spend my day contemplating about my life.
