New Year, New Hopes

Happy new year, guys! I know I'm late for 10 days :D

My new year celebration is not special, I went to bed early and didn't even do the countdown and see fireworks party. I got a lot invitation from my friends to go to some parties at some club or bars but, well, I'm just too damn tired at that moment. And, yeah, I had a tummy-ache because I ate too much at the evening. My boyfriend's dad made a ton of sate lilit, which is one of super mega ultra delicious foods in this universe, so yeah I couldn't control my greedy animalistic tummy. Hahaha..


Sate lilit
Sate lilit, whoaa, so damn sexy..!
But even my new year celebration sucks, but yes, I do make a lot of wishes for this years. Some of them is just upgrades or renewal of my resolution at 2012. Well, 2012 itself is such a huge year for me. My health condition is pretty well, thank God for it. Oh, and I got a promotion also, learned a lot of subject from the experts, pet 2 kitties, met so many new friends and hanging out with them. I'm not such a homey girl with an awkward social life but since I moved to Bali, I rarely hung out with my friends. I love them!

I hope that 2013 will be more fantastic. Just like any other people, I hope that what have been going well on 2012 will be better and what I messed up last year will be solved this year. In particular points, these are my resolution on 2013.
  1. Educate myself. I want to continue my study actually, I want to study Physics and Math again, playing with numbers, solve some puzzles, I think it'll be fun. Or maybe I can take a foreign language course, or photography or drum or whatever as long as I can learn a new thing.
  2. Spend less, save more, invest more and more. This needs a lot and big effort of course, because I just can't say no to sale, hahaha :D Sometimes, I buy any stuffs that I actually do not need it because it's on sale. And after it, I just like 'Oh God why did I buy this crap? I should save it for my future for bla bla bla because bla bla...'
  3. Live healthily. More fruits, complex carbos, vegetables, proteins, and any other good things. Less caffeine, sugar, salty snacks, junk food and fried thingy. And yeah, I have to exercise more!
  4. Behave nicer to other people : ) 
  5. Read more books! Oh I have a lot of book list that I want to read on Goodreads. I wish I read more than 50 books (fiction and non-fiction) this year.
  6. Giving more to the community
  7. Buy a new stove because my old one is destroyed by my kitties.
  8. TBA
I hope I can make my wishes come true. Wish me luck! : )

Bring Your Own Coffee Cup !

Hola people! : )

First, a very merry Christmas to you all! May joy and peace light our path to our better upcoming days. May us be wiser and smarter to react & solve any problems at the future. May Santa aware of his obesity. May all bad peoples get their karma soon.

Speaking about bad peoples & Christmas, there were some dumbf*cks in my country, Indonesia, named themselves as FPI (Front Pembela Islam; en: Islam Defenders Front), who'd like to ruin Christmas mass in Ungaran—a city in Central Java province. The worst thing is they accused Christians degrading Islam because Christmas mass were held not so far from a mosque. Insane, right? I'm not insulting any Moslems by write about it, I just think that this organization is TOO arrogant and intolerant.  >:-\

Ummm, now let's talk about the main reason why I write this post.Well, we all must know visual.ly. This website provides like a ton of infographics. Yeah, they shared a lot of useful information in an interesting poster, so there's no reason to not read it. And today I found this. It shows us how much we pollute our environment by using a disposable plastic/paper coffee cup. Check it out!

 So, what do you wait for? Bring your own coffee cup! : )

Journey to the South Part of Bali

Whoaa, it's been a month I didn't write anything in here! I can't say that I am busy, I just do another stuff I like. So yeah, I almost forget that I have a blog too : )

Well, few days ago my parents were having a trip in Bali with their friends, so my boyfriend and I kidnapped them for a day, rent a car and hanging out with them (along with my boyfriend's fams too). And guess what, I  nominated myself as their guy-who-take-their-pics.

My favorite place in Bali is along the south part of this island. Although it's fairly hard to be reached, like we have to drive up to the hill, but when we finally arrive there we can stand at the edge of the cliff and look at the uncontaminated blue ocean—a very large one for sure, inhale a very fresh oxygen and see a bright puffy cloud! So, yeah, the rest of us went to Uluwatu temple (we called it 'Pura Uluwatu' in here) which is located at Desa Pecatu, Kuta—south part of Bali. Uluwatu temple isn't so far from Suluban beach as I write in this post. The transportation to get there is pretty much the same, car or motorbike and there's no public transportation heading there. To enter Uluwatu temple, we have to buy ticket, I forget how much it is, but I'm sure it's very cheap, less than IDR 10k. This place is built right above the edge of coral cliff and it is ± 97 above sea level.
This is a view from the left part...
Big puffy cloud..

According to Balinese, Uluwatu temple is one of 4 main temples in Bali. It is built since 11 century by Mpu Kunturan. At that time, this temple was used by peoples who lived around there to worship Dewa Rudra (Dewa means God) for their salvation. After about 400 years, a Hinduism missionary named Dang Hyang Nirartha decided to be Mokhsa in this temple. Because this place is a temple, before entering the main gate, we have to wear such a shawl to be wrapped around our waist and if we wear a short pants/skirts we have to wear a special cloth (Balinese call it kamen). 

There are a lot of monkeys around and inside Uluwatu temple. They like to take a little and shiny thing, so usually if we go there with a tour guide, they'll suggest us to take off our earrings and another jewelry, glasses; hold our cell phone and camera very tight. Rumor has it that those monkeys are well-trained and if our stuffs are taken by those monkey, the more valuable our stuffs, the more expensive we have to pay their diviner to take our stuffs back. Yeah, once again, it's a rumor. The certain thing that we must aware are their bites. Believe me, it'll hurt so bad.
The little villain..
So, what are you waiting for? Come to Bali!

Late Night Talks

A few months ago there's a song that played over and over again on every radio station and TV channel in my country. It's pretty much lovey dovey, very easy listening and typical Top 40 song. I could hear this song like 20 times a day! No kidding. A couple lives next door also seems like this song so much and they played this song repeatedly. And guess what, it gives me a very long & strong effect that the last line is still stuck in my head until now. Gosh...

Rumor - Butiran Debu

The original last line is 'aku tanpamu butiran debu' which literally means 'i am just a dust without you'. Well, I have a better line... 

Yeah, I instagram it...

"I am just flour without you..." said the Cupcake to the Egg. Romantically absurd! -___-
