It's on again!

Villa Parikesit, Salatiga

March 28-29, 2015

I couldn't believe that I did not post anything since months ago, hahaha...

Woah, this blog is on again, and this post is a (refresh) start since I use another new baby (smartphone) to taking pictures for this blog.

Here's my first post using it, last weekend trip to Salatiga with my beloved family. We stayed at Villa Parikesit, a really nice place (honestly), and unbelievably affordable, more than we expected.

These photos are the original files, without any retouch.

Thanks readers :)

Have a nice weekend

ARTJOG '14; Legacies of Power

Taman Budaya Yogyakarta
June 9, 2014

"Goni Cabinet" by Samsul Arifin

Am I the one who always waiting and exciting about this art fair? I don't think so. ARTJOG became one of the popular art fair here in Jogja. Tons of people come to this event every year, and for the very first time ARTJOG ain't free no more. Legacies of Power is the theme for this year, with a focus on political issue of 2014 in Indonesia, when we have general election, and a new president will be chosen.

It was a short trip to Malang, only 8 hours from Jogja by bus. We only had one destination, Jawa Timur Park 1, and we were there from 9am untill 4pm, maximum pleasure :D

My oh my, I won't tell you about this place in detail, just check their website (http://www.jawatimurpark1.com/). But, I would like to share my vision about that place, some pieces that made me want to capture them with my camera phone. Here they are..

Godong Ijo
Depok, West Java
May 2014

Got this #fromwhereIstand hashtag from Instagram, and I like it more than #selfie :p

It doesn't mean that my feet are better than my face, or it does? Hmmmm..

Okay, last week I visited my sisters in Depok, West Java. I miss them so much, especially my super handsome nephews, Aira, Zeke and baby Genta. We had so much fun, and I already miss them now :( But, it's time for my feet to be your guide to the beauty I have found in Godong Ijo.

What so special about sunset that could make everyone loves it? (including me). The colors, the view, the atmosphere or maybe with who you spend that sunset time. But yeah, we are always waiting for sunset to admire it.

Plateau of Gods

Dieng Plateau

March 30-31, 2014

Finally, I had put my feet on the most beautiful plateau in Java, Dieng. Alhamdulillah.. and I just can't move on from that moment. It was fun fun fun and fun, I can't even mention another words to describe that trip.
I would love to tell you a little about Dieng, according to the short documentary movie that I had watched earlier in Dieng Plateau Theater, Dieng name derived from some Sanskrit language 'Di' and 'Hyang' means 'a place of Gods'. Located at more than 2000 meters above sea level, this misty area has a super cold weather. Another statement from the movie, even in July and August the temperatures can reach the freezing level, 0 degrees Celsius.

That's not me, he's local people of Dieng; edited with Morning Glory

Based on my good mood and happy feeling, then I like to share two brand new Curves, Fresh Air (download it here) and Morning Glory (download it here). Check the tutorial here.

Gloomy Valentine's Day

Jogjakarta
February 14, 2014

Volcanic ash has fallen, cover up my hometown Jogja on February 14th, thicker than ever. Those massive volcanic ashes are from Mount Kelud's major eruption which more than 200 km from Jogja. Gloomy morning for us, no more pinky valentine. Hope everything will back to normal, or even better.

Pet Hunt

PASTY, Jogjakarta
January 2014

It was my first visit to Fauna and Ornamental Plant Market of Yogyakarta, never had a thought that this place was quite crowded. Perhaps it would always be fulfill with buyers if they keep neat and clean to make the visitors comfortable. And I've documented some stuff that got my attentions.

LFC's Future Superstars

Bantul, Jogjakarta

Wonderful Wednesday Night at Sultan Agung Football Stadium, watching Liverpool FC U-17 against Frenz United Indonesia. Another memorable moment with the love of my life football club, Liverpool FC, after LFC Tour 2013; Jakarta last year.

Vegetation

"Baru" Beach

Yogyakarta

Vegetation around this coastal is one of the visitor's favorite. Don't hesitate to spend your weekend here. Do not need to bring your own picnic treat, only bring some money to order fresh seafood cuisine. Just enjoy the food, wind, shore, under the tree.

These vegetation picture are already vegetated..

Horse Racing

'Easy' Recreation for Local People

Horse Racing Track
Sultan Agung Stadium
Bantul, Jogjakarta
November 3rd, 2013

This horse racing is an annual event for Sri Sultan Hamengkubuwono X Cup. Finest horses from all around Indonesia, raced to be the champions for several categories.

Horse racing isn't yet popular in my hometown (compared to Europe or America) but this kind of event always caught every local attention. They were filled the area enthusiastic, didn't feel hard sunlight and dusty air. They brought their family here, like something very interesting waiting for them. Too bad that the racetrack doesn't have enough facilities for the crowd, so they just watched the race from wherever they like without any rules, appropriate place, and prohibition. Perhaps, the authorities would found out how to make this horse racing track a lot better, and greater events would be coming soon.

Happy Halloween

Without costumes, party, trick or treat, I'd like to say...
