The Most Wanted Person in the World! (part 2)

one day to go guys...

hmmm...for what??

surely, for getting 29 April 2011!

ishh...I mean, what will happen in the date???

OH...COME ON...!!! it's a Lodly Friday!

yeaaahhh....I know it's Friday! But why should it be lodly???

beuuhh....alright!

it's the date where Prince William and Kate will be married!

oooo.....I see!!!!!

well, that's true...
but I think I won't talk about it now.
I just wanna find him, cause actually I couldn't find him in...

wwaait! you mean Prince William is lost????!!!! bb...bbut...I am sure he is in the palace right now huh?? isn't it where he should be?? then, why should he make a trouble by getting himself lost??? oh, come on.......

mmmm....
well, hee....actually, I didn't really talk about Prince William...cause honestly I just wanna find a figure like him here, in Jogja Palace...hehe

do you know that the recent Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono doesn't have a son?? yeah, he just has two daughters. then, who wants to continue the government in Yogyakarta Province if Sultan doesn't even have a son??
hmm...so complicated right?? I myself can't find the answer for it. what about you??

whereas, imagine that if only Sultan have a son, so the son would be a prince. Imagine if Jogja has a Prince Charming, it would be very impressive because many girls would try to get his attention. hey we stay in Jogja! Imagine if the Prince school at our university ....imagine... imagine... imagine....ouch!


hashh....WAKE UP GALS!
it's just a dream, even if Sultan would have a boy, you must already become older and older than the boy, so stop imaging about it!


uuhh...alright this is the effect of too much watching sinetron! which most of the story tells about the usual girl who got the Charming and rich boy's heart. just like Cinderella. just like Kate Midleton and Prince William. oh! one more, just take away your imagination about "Prince William" of Jogja. I think it wouldn't happen, unless you beg to Sultan that he has to adopt a Charming boy in the orphanage! ngimpi!




hmm....I know you are broken heart knowing the Real Prince William will marry Kate tomorrow...chill...everything's gonna be okay without him in your life. there will be another cinderella story (kya judul film aje...hoh) in the future, but now it's not the time to think about who's gonna be your soulmate someday....




HEY! why don't we now imagine about PRINCE HARRY????!!!!


beuuuuuhhhh.....!!!!

Dry vs. Rain!

me, reporting from the cultural city of Indonesia, that Jogja yesterday really confusing at all. It's not about the road, but it's about the weather.

well, yesterday I went to some place by motorcycle with my friend. it was noon, when the sun was exactly over my head. uhhhh.....it was really really hot, I was burnin' up at the time. moreover I was fasting! I didn't really mind about the food or drink in the side of the street, but I was getting dizzy. actually I was worried about my friend, (scared that I would have a crush because of my dizzy,hihi), I'm not tellin a lie. My head was so heavy, my eyes was hard to open, my body was so weak. I was like a chicken roasted by the heat of the sun!

having a trip like that seems like you would never get to the destination soon. You spent much time riding your motorcycle without knowing when you can arrive at home. huufffttt....so tired.

that was at the noon, I was burning. But look at the afternoon! the rain was falling down to the earth...(uuhh...bahasane...). and now I wasn't burning anymore. But look! I was caught by the rain! I have just come out from my friend's home to get some food outside...but finally, I just got the rain...

hmm...BUt that wasn't totally miserable, cause actually I love the rain! and long time not feeling and touching the rain directly...

well, that's the weather in Jogja now, making us confused, sometimes we prepare an umbrella but who knows it'll be shining then. so, better if you prepare a sunblock too beside the umbrella....

so, what weather won this case??

hoho...

KUKUP Beach SNAPSHOTs

 

KRAKAL BEACH: look! so many scallops here!

well, last time I have shared to you about the wonderful of Kukup Beach. Now, I wanna share about a beach too. It's about the furthest beach in Jogja from the capital city of Jogja. whuuuuuu......first time I went there, it was like we would never arrive to the beach! just imagine,  I could feel my body broken because I was riding the motorcycle actually. so tireeeeedddd....!!!

FYI, Krakal beach is one of a series of beaches along the white sand beach in Wonosari. haaa...it means that Krakal is not far away from Kukup Beach??? hmmm....I don't think so, though they are close each other, you still need to take in almost one hour long trip from Kukup to Krakal. Nevertheless, Krakal is never quiet from the visitors....hoho

My Cute Sandal! hehe

So melloww...

 Eit, although last time I consider Kukup as the most beach in Jogja, Krakal still has something unique which can make it different to another beach in Jogja. so...what are the differences??

well, Krakal has a long shoreline, it makes you possible to go further to the sea without making you sink. But be careful actually, because the wave is strong enough. You should be careful too when you step on the shore, it contains of slick rock. Fortunately, it allows you to see many beautiful scallops there! I myself is always interested in that thing. last time my friend wanted me to bring some scallops for her aquarium, and I was confused how much scallops I could bring, cause I found many unique scallops there! hoho....

I took these scallops....not yet finished!

It was raining when I went to there lately, and it was not holiday. But there were many people visiting this beach (they're just covering themselves from the rain,,hihi...). when the rain started to stop, all people were happy and started to go to the sea again...hmmm...playing water is always fun right??

It was noisy and crowded actually...

Taking picture is never die!

anyway, for you who will visit this beach, better you go in the early morning, considering about how long the way it is, and make sure that the weather is shiny enough, so you can see the beach beautifully....so blue....ok??

KUKUP BEACH: Everything's get paid here!

Jogja is a paradise for beach lovers??? yeah, that's totally right at all! when I talk about beach in Jogja, please don't just imagine about Parangtritis Beach which many people think that it is the most famous and beautiful beach in Jogja. It is famous, but you know guys, people thought wrong, I think. I myself prefer consider another beach which has the more beautiful view than Parangtritis. it is.........introducing: KUKUP BEACH...........!!!!

Kukup Beach???

huum, have you never heard about it before?? alright, here I wanna introduce to you the most wonderful beach I ever seen (even more beautiful than Tanah Lot, hehe)....well, Kukup Beach is really really far away from Jogja town. It is located in Wonosari Regency. From Jogja, you need about 2 hours to get there, moreover you will pass the winding road which always crowded by the vehicles. Then, you must be careful guys.

So, what can we get in Kukup Beach??

First, Kukup Beach shows us the amazing view of the sea. The sea is sooo blue. The strong wind never stop to blow the wave strongly, make a wonderful sound of the sea when the wave hits the reef..Blaaaaarrrrr....(NB: this is not thunder sound lhoo....huhu). Hwaaaa....sometimes you must feel the sensation of the sprinkling of the water! another thing you must do is that you should try to listen carefully to the sound of wave, feel the wind greets you, and inhale the smell of salty sea....haaaaa.....I am really imagining it so much....so deep, quiet, and calm...

see?? so calm....

well, that's the first point, the second point which makes this beach beautiful is about the hill around the sea. It's all green guys! really makes me fresh! the combination of the blue sea, the blue sky, and the green hill itself is REALLY PERFECT! you can also consider the white sands as the other thing which never be separated in the reason why this beach becomes AWESOME!

cekidot...

haaa......fresh!

Last but not least, Kukup Beach has a cottage overlooking the sea! this is make the people say that Kukup is Tanah Lot of Jogja...(it's just more beautiful, hehe...). Because the cottage is not really wide, I always prefer to go around the cottage, sitting in some stone there, or sometimes trying to pass the fence in order to be closer to the sea...though it made me scared enough...hehe...Kukup has the bridge connected to the cottage which allows you to hear the waves hitting the coral stone clearly, plus feeling the move of the air and the smell of the sea...hmmm...just close your eyes, and feel the rhythm slowly....... .

Can't u see the cottage??

Getting closer to the sea...

Sitting here and feel the air...

FYI, although many people bathing in the sea, I think Kukup is not the place beach to take a bath. Yeah, almost all of the white-sand beach is not appropriate for taking bath. That's because the water is salty, makes our eyes sore. we don't want to drink the water also, huh?? But, tetap saja....taking bath there still made us fun! hehe....

well, that's all my explanation about the wonderful of Kukup Beach. my trip getting here was not vain. Although I was tired in that long trip, the view over the Kukup Beach just made my tiredness disappeared! Yeah....but I thought I don't want to come back again considering about the long way home...hhe,,

TAMAN SARI: Best Place to feel 'them'

Happy Holiday!

it is Sunday today, what activity do you have today??

well, when you are in Jogja now, you should have time to visit Taman Sari. It is actually a complex of Yogyakarta Palace which contains of some buildings there. Inside the buildings, you will find a pool. some years ago, it was used as bathing pool for the princess, and now, you are restricted to touch the water and play the water. the buildings looks so old, you can see from the walls and the woods which has already been peel and porous. But, those are the things which make Taman Sari beautiful and ancient.

Taman Sari is next to Kraton Ngayogyakarta, and it is about 500m from the famous Malioboro Street and Bringharjo Market. You only need to pay about Rp 3.000,- to enter the building. hmmm....so cheap right?? Yeah, you may also take best pictures there because every corner of Taman Sari has a uniqueness. check my photos here....

Welcome to Taman Sari

the old door

the pool can be seen from here...

what a beautiful ancient place to take a picture!

 

nah, those are just few pictures I took with my friends inside Taman Sari. Although it was raining at the time, the visitors kept walking around this area. I met some foreigners who were really interested to know this place. With an umbrella, they were seriously paying attention to the guide. My friend and I actually wanted to know more about this place by listening to the guide's explanation too (hee...lumayan....free guide service! hoho).

You know what, I got some information about this place. Actually, it was so often here that people surrounding Taman Sari heard mysterious voices in the night. Sometimes they heard Gamelan Sound (Javanese Traditional music), or sometimes heard a cart and the horses. whuuuu.....made me feel scared suddenly. moreover when I passed the dark alley inside this place. hiiiiyyy...I didn't want to pass it alone! Btw, I myself never hear about it before, but I can feel 'something' here. Yeah, the place gave me different and cold atmosphere, so silent here, just made me comfort and fresh, it wasn't noisy like the other tourism place.

FYI, outside Taman Sari, you can visit the other ancient building near Taman Sari. This building is not complete anymore, it was because of the time and might be the earthquake happened in Jogja before. anyway, here you can see the view from the top of the building. But, be careful, the wind was so strong (not appropriate for thin person! haha....no). But, last time I went there, we were banned to go up to the top because the doors were locked. I thought it was dangerous anymore for us to go up further.

hey, it's the building! can you see it??

just till as this high...

before restricted, you can go up higher

all in all, Taman Sari is still becoming an appropriate tourism place to visit in Jogja. this place contains of a pure Jogjanese historical buildings. The societies are pure Jogjanese people. the combination between the place and the societies show us the real Jogja. It's comfort, natural, friendly, fresh, and clean. this place has  ever been the location for making some movies. So, don't be confused anymore to visit this place guys!

From Sherlock Holmes To Imam Bonjol

hey guys! today I went to bookfair with my friend, Endy. We would like to go there because we didn't have anything else to do at the time. Our friends was so busy making PKM (Program Kreatifitas Mahasiswa) in campus. so it's better to go outside than staying at home alone, right??

well, huft!

I knew this will happen to me,

seeing many books there, made me wanna buy it all so bad. couldn't they see I didn't have money??? hashh...embarrassing!! but definitely I couldn't stand to not to buy some of it!

yeah, after thinking for a long time what book I wanna buy, I decided to buy four of Sherlock Holmes serial. you know what, it's really difficult to me to find this book before. I just met Sherlock Holmes serial not written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, when I met some books of his, there are so many of it and I didn't have much time to save my money! even I also found Agatha Christy's there. haaaaasssshhh....sabar....

waduuuhh....kapan lagi bisa nemu waktu wat nyari buku2 Agatha Christy yang kya gini...

hmm...nevermind, maybe I have to save money from now to get the books in my hand! okay....

well, although I couldn't have it right now, at least I have four Sherlock Holmes series for my reading. here are they....

hoho...I got 'em!

after having these books in my hand, Endy suddenly had suggestion to go to Monjali. (Monumen Jogja Kembali). hmm...I thought that's not bad idea. moreover I hadn't go there yet, so we directly went to Monjali, after taking praying first in JEC...(padahal jumatan lum selesai, tapi kita dah sholat duluan,,,hehe...gak tau jee...).

finally, we arrived there. getting Monjali doesn't need much time btw, it's about 15minutes from JEC. but today was so hot, we couldn't wait to be there soon! by paying Rp. 7.500,-, you can explore Monjali as lyou ike. but, be careful...don't be surprised inside! hoo....

"ku kan menaklukanmuuuu....."

Lorong di dalam Monjali yang lumayan dark and scary...(aslinya lebih gelap lhoo...)

"Aaaaaa.....Tidaaaaakkk....!!!"

in the 1st floor, you can see many diorama which describe us the history of the Return Of Jogja, plus you will hear people talkin' bout it on the recording, including President Soekarno's voice. here is one of the diorama...

sssttt.....jo gemrungsung bae...!!!

beside diorama, you can find some heritages inside, such as an old telephone, sewing machine, chair, and there was also some replicas and many more, remember...you are not allowed to touch them. hoho...but if you wanna touch some statues, I think it's okay, just like us when we took pictures with them...hehe...

mana yg orang? mana yg patung??

pak Imam Bonjol...saya minta uang....

that's all our trip, it was so much fun, though the weather was so hot, at least we got knowledge visiting this monument, I suggest you to go there guys, cause you will find somethings you never meet before! after that, you may also have some drink, just like us...hehe...

hmmm....nikmatnya es buah di kampus UGM...

Exploring "Almost" Merapi

it's been long time after the eruption of Merapi made the people surrounding Merapi (Jogja, Magelang, Klaten) fidgety. the eruption effects were so bad, most people have already known because the tragedy was appeared in every news on every media, every time. they talked about the evacuees camp, the volcanic mudflow, the livestock animals which couldn't be evacuated, and the unstopped eruption itself, etc. a hundred of volunteers were sent to the camp to help them do everything they need. cooking, studying, feeding, checking their health, and so on.

now, Merapi has been being a tourism object. In the surrounding of Merapi, it's all grey because of much volcanic things, the ex-mudflow, the volcanic stones, the sand, etc. but, don't ever imagine that it is really horrible to see, it is firstly, but then, you will see the scene you never see before, it is AMAZING! REALLY AMAZING! he....that was why I couldn't stop to take picture, whereas I was just in far far away from Merapi. yeah, I couldn't go closer to Merapi cause it was really expensive to catch there. I had to spend about Rp 20.000 to rent motorcycle. my friend's motorcycle was forbidden to go further 4 km from Merapi. it was the people who gave that rule, that's only what they can do to earn money after Merapi eruption, I understand obviously, but it was to high for me, for a girl who has several money,,hee...fortunately I brought some food and drink for my trip, because there was so many stalls which offer foods and drinking water.

although I couldn't see Merapi more clearly, my trip with my friend was not so bad,, it was still memorable trip for me,,hoho...(soale maem siang e dibayari! hehe). No at all, I always enjoy my trip, however it goes, cause I love traveling so much!

it is a must for me: going closer to Merapi someday, cause I believe the scenery out there will be more outstanding to see,,but I will not pass the way like last time cause there is another way that doesn't command us to pay as much as like yesterday, even it might be free...that's my friend, Allim, said to me,,

so, do you wanna join me to the next exploring??
