Going where the wind blows

Jauh-jauh hari udah ngincer jadual libur 4 hari, tapi jelang hari H malah gak ada acara sama sekali. Padahal lagi bener-bener ingin refreshing. Ngobrol-ngobrol sama teman ngomongin kemana enaknya ngabisin waktu libur. Mulai dari Sedudo, WBL, Probolinggo, Bali, sampe akhirnya pilihan jatuh ke Jogja.

coffee break @Malioboro Mall

Jadilah traveling dadakan plus packing seadanya. Ngepos 2 kali di Ngawi & Solo, tiba di Jogja menjelang senja. Ternyata Jogja rame banget....

2 hari di Jogja lanjut perjalanan ke Solo & Karanganyar.  Having fun di air terjun Grojogan sewu, Tawangmangu dan wisata budaya ke Candi Sukuh.

the adventure team

Again, liburan ke Bali.....Kali ini dengan anggota Dharma Wanita Persatuan BP3 Jawa Timur & beberapa anggota keluarga. Seru, heboh, plus suplai logistik yang melimpah. Maklum bareng ibu-ibu, hehe....dan yang pasti nggak terlewatkan, wisata belanja.......

banana boat

Keliling Bali dari pantai ke pantai & shopping center sampe kaki bengkak. Tapi tetap  antusias seru-seruan naik banana boat di  Tanjung Benoa Watersport, diceburin ke laut & berbasah-basah ria sambil merasakan asinnya air laut. Bener-bener asssiiiiiiiiiiinnnn........but it was really fun anyway.

yoga on the beach

yoga on the beach

Last week, we, member of Pamungkas yoga class, went to Prigi, a beach at java south coast. We practiced yoga there. Wow...it was so windy and it made our mats folded again & again. And there was no music as usual, only the waves around us. Since the beach is a public area, there were many visitors watched us practicing yoga. 
After the class, we went to Karanggongso beach.

The typical of south coast beaches are white sands & located in the highlands. So it offers nice view for sightseeing. No wonder if they become favorite objects for vacation.

"Feels Like Home"

a song by Chantal Kreviazuk

 

Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself
Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms
There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life

If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
And if you knew how happy you are making me
I never thought that I'd love anyone so much

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A Holiday Getaway

hard rain

long & winding road

I never imagine that a trip to Malang could be a long journey. It took 6 hours by car from Mojokerto to Bantur, Malang. Through the rain, traffic jam, and such an off road adventure passed through dark winding  and stony road.

We really had a long trip there. From Balekambang at the south coast to Songgoriti at the western region highland. Mountains, forests, plantations, accompanied us almost along the way.

Unfortunately, the rain fell down all night long made us had no chance to have fun at Batu Night Spectacular, an amusement park. So we only went out for sightseeing in a new mall and having dinner at  Wisata Kuliner, a foodcourt near city square with free wifi, after 2 days with bad signal, and an acoustic band live performances.

Having fun with friends was our theme on this holiday. Sunbathe on the beach, picking 'salak' & mango right from the trees, window shopping at 'Batu Town Square', until rain in 'Batu Secret Zoo'. And, of course, the off road sensation!

Aku Ingin

 (taken from "Hujan Bulan Juni" by Sapardi Djoko Damono)

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana:

dengan kata yang tak sempat diucapkan kayu

kepada api yang menjadikannya abu

Aku ingin mencintaimu dengan sederhana:

dengan isyarat yang tak sempat disampaikan awan

kepada hujan yang menjadikannya tiada

late nite on a ferry across Bali Strait

It's a long trip to Bali Island. From Mojokerto, east Java, we need about 12 hours by bus to go to Bali. Tired & sleepy all along the way. But it's worthy!

Though I had been there for couple times, Bali is always exciting for me. It still has many different things to enjoy.
