Birthday Girl

October 22nd: Happy Belated Birthday Aga

adventure weekend

This month the weather was not so good coz rain fall almost everyday. This is the transition beetwen dry and rain season in Indonesia. We (me, Aga&Alicia) decide to make something good for the weekend coz last saturday was Aga's birthday and Alicia's last week in Indonesia. We decide to do small adventure travelling to the place with nice weather (semarang is extremelly hot) although wether seem not support us, we want to took that risk :P . We decided to go to Gedung Songo temple and since I never use public transport to go there (always using motorcycle) we have a chance to do adventure things :P . After almost half hour wait the bus and not coming, we decided to rent an angkot (kind of public transportation in Indonesia)

We have great time there and lucky rain was not come even it was cloudy day. Little bit about Gedung Songo, there's 6 (it must be 9) temples around the hill so we must walk around 1 - 2 hours depend on the way we walk. We enjoy the weather, the weather was really nice, cool and fresh.

After lunch we found the bust directly to Semarang, we just wait not on right way from Semarang. Even we enjoyed during use this bus and not so many people on the bus so we can have our favorite seat.

In the night me and Alicia set up small suprise for her, just small cake and small candle at OUR Cafe. After that, some AIESEC member just came and another friends also came. It just good day to have small travel, nice conversation, good food and end up with small party with good friends.

On Sunday, I invited Alicia, Aga, Scott and Sara (Island girl & Scott's date now..ups, sorry Scott)

to enjoy mangrove forest and plant some mangrove on Tirang Island. We try to save this small island coz we think that this island will dissapear if we don't plant anything there coz of hard sea abration. We got hard rain on the way back and Alicia said it's like Vietnam soldier when we walk on the mud and hard rain. But everyone seem have fun time there even all of our body got wet. The local people set up nice dinner with seafood as main menu and we break fast with them (this month is fasting month for moslem people)

Around 20:00, local people there perform rebana music. Rebana is kind of music around coastal area and mostly use for moslem events also. Honestly to say, I don't have interest with this music even I have lived for 26 years in Indonesia, beside I'm Catholic and I thought it's moslem religious music. But it's turned out that I really enjoy to play this music instruments coz they let us to try the instruments, it so much different feeling when we just heard and when we play it.

Really good way to end my weekend and I hope you also have great weekends :)

Introduce Tiara Lestari

I think now there's no man (and woman :P) in Indonesia who don't know Tiara Lestari as 1st Indonesian model who has pose on 1 of Playboy Magazine (sorry Tiara I took your picture without permition:P ) . But I'll not talk about that :P . Tiara has blog to 'promote' herself like Hermawan Kartajaya said, and because Hermawan is 1 of the top marketing guru in the world so I really interest to visit her blog and you really can find her idea by visit her blog. I thought she made her blog also to absorb what people will think about her professional model career. In just 2 months already 30.000 people klik on her page, great things done by model who develop her own blog and I must said Hermawan is true that he's great marketer to found her own value.Now a little part between Tiara and me :P. 1 time she said that she want to 'open' herself and asked the browsers to ask everything to her and maybe she will response it. I ask "have you found your soulmate? that's all thanks" and she choosed my question to answer. I think this is the real case how someone has interaction between the blog that he/she made with their readers beside I'm suprised that she choosed my question. so this is her amswer about my question and if you have a chance please visit her blog also :) .. have a nice day everyone

PS: I agree with her about soulmate :P

---------
We all agree that a soulmate is someone who was MEANT for you and MEANT to be with you.
Soulmate for me is a bestfriend above all else, someone who motivates you, makes you laugh easily, someone who listen patienly to what I have to say, someone who I can say anything to, someone who let me be a "monster" but will forgive me quickly when I apologize. Essentially, someone who will stand by you. We think alike, share the same interests and has common value. He makes a dramatic impact in my life(and I don't even rely it sometimes). He makes me to be a better person. He connects with me in a way that I can't explain... you know, we know what each other are thinking by just looking and smiling at each other. He always seem to always finish my sentences.
He completes me in way that when we are both together we are so much stronger as whole than when we are alone. And when we are away from each other I feel like a part of me is missing. We are comfortable together in silence. He would gladly put me and my needs ahead of his own. He has a deep desire to provide me with all that I am missing from my life.
Does the long description above enough for you guys? There is one man in my life that fit the above description. Is he my soulmate? Probably you would say yes. But let me point something to you.. I am not with him now. I have called one person a soulmate in my life and that is him. Yet, we're not together anymore. Whatever happened between us, he always hold a special place in my heart and I thank him. From the bottom of my soul, I thank him for the love he gave me and the friendship we had (have).
Let me ask you again. Is he my soulmate? Or do I need to define "soulmate" better?

tragedy on the beach...

Last weekend like you see on the pictures that I went to the beach, Parangtritis beach around Yogyakarta city. And we saw the couples that playing with the beach, I thought it's fun to play there with the couples but little bit dangerous because the wafe is quiet big. But after couple minutes I have attention with that couples seem nothing danger with them and I really didn't notice about them after we continue walked. Today I got news from Katerine, the girl that kindly drive us to the beach, that the man from that couple that we saw died because drowned on that sea. Quiet shocking and wondering what we will see if we stay little bit more longer there and see the accident. I got the news but too bad only in Indonesian language.
