Dear God

Dear God,

There's something wrong with my heart. I know it's already broken, and I believe with time goes by it will heal. But You're planning something else. Today, I met him. Please don't blame me, I've tried so hard to say no. But WHY is it so hard to resist him? I mean, how many times he let me down? how many times he broke his promises? how many times he broke my heart? But I still met him. By that, I knew exactly there's something wrong with my heart.

Yours truly,


Broken hearted girl who tried so hard to resist.

The Cave and Snorkling

Last weeked was sooo great. This was my second visit in Pangandaran but first in Green Canyon. Pangandaran beach is a place known to be scary because the "Nyi Roro Kidul" thing. I myself have also wondered if all these are true about the beach. Anyway, here are few captures of our first day in Pangandaran:

We took a ride for almost eight and a half hours to be exact. Because we stopped and took a rest and all. This was our stop in Nagrek. Rest for a while in here, ate Popmie, and drank a cup of coffee.

We booked a room at Kencana Inn for two days, it costs 700k (2pax).

Stayed in the second floor so it had a beautiful view of Pangandaran beach.

Arrived around 4.30am. After Subuh Prayer and showered in rush, we headed to east side of Pangandaran to watched the sunrise. Kinda disappoint that the weather was too cloudy to take a shoot of it. And this is the best sunrise I can get.

My brother was waiting for the sun to rise.

Took a pictures - a lot- while we played at the beach. And I love how sunlight-effect touch our faces, it looks good in pictures.

An hour later, we were going to Cagar Alam. Explored the caves which is dark and scary and took an hour walk to get to the white beach...

...and it's all worth it.

The urge feeling everytime you see the blue water and white sand. You just want to swim, swim, and swim.

We can't hold our needs to try snorkling for the first time. It is sooo asdfghjklqwertyuiopzxcvbnm. (Read: good)  

We enjoyed the sunset which creates a series of changing colors on the sky <3

Beaches, Baby!

I spent last weekend at the beach (Carita, Banten) with the family. I spent most of my time taking pictures, eating delicious Indonesian food and watching my cousins get messy in the sand. Oftentime I'm thankful I still get to get away from the city and witness such breathtaking sceneries. The world is still a beautiful place. :)

Two Weeks

Anyway, here are a few things that occured over the past two weeks:

• Had a pleasant time with my cousin, nephew and sister in a pool. 
• The waterslide. 
• I was relaxing on the poolside while listening to music and drinking orange juice. Life has been so good lately.
• Sleepover at my cousin's. Watched this creepy horor movies and ended up with a nightmare.
• Rujak Buah. Fresh and hot. Suitable to eat during the day. Unfortunately, I ate it before I had breakfast and my stomach began to hurt.
• Nasi Kebuli. One word: Delicious!
• My last purchased: a bag IDR 50k, an ankle boots only for IDR 150k, and a novel IDR 60k. Actually, I also bought two dresses and a sandal. No more shopping for this month.

Happy Ears: Clean White Love

It's really amazing how social networks lead you to your friend's blog, site, or tumblr account. The world is becoming smaller, indeed. Anyway, I discovered this song through a friend's blog and I fell for it.

Have a happy ears day!

Date A Girl Who Reads

"Date a girl who reads. Date that someone who has a collection of books rather than a collection of designer clothes. She wants to go on an unlimited adventure by reading another creative fictitious novel or another romantic tear-jerker from Nicholas Sparks. 

Find a girl who read, that someone who spends her vacant hours at school inside the library. She is that person who owns a local library card ever since she was ten.

You can often find her inside the bookstore, looking at the new titles shelf. She quietly cries whenever she finds the perfect book or the book she was looking for ever since.

She is that person who wants to wait inside the coffee shop and just read. She is lost in the make-believe world the author has written for her. Sit down next to her, then she might give you this weird look because she never wants to interrupted. Ask her about the book, whether if she liked it or not. 

Buy her a cup of coffee. She is that someone who enjoys a long bus ride but doesn't mind the jittery ride and just continues to read, unmindful of all the guys that want to talk to her. Dont't disturb her now, you might be ignored by her forever.

Get her book for her birthday, for New Year's or even Valentine's as well. She will never be able to complain. Don't forget about the books she listed on her wish list for Christmas. Her life resembles on her favorite book. It's probably the only thing that she understands. Disapoint her, because a girl who reads knows that the ointment to disappoinment are books. You don't need to always be there for her. Giving her book will remind her of your presence. Don't be something that you are not, to her. She knows well that people are like characters. It takes them time to grow. If you find a girl who reads, keep her away from society, for she is a prized catch.

If you find her depressed for days together, ask her about the title of the book that she read. Understand what the story meant to her and hold her. She needs it very badly. She may not cry, but her hug will speak a thousand words, and her smile will make your day.

Propose to her - with a bookmark. She will understand.

Date a girl who reads because you deserve it. She can make your life colorful and yet make you feel grounded. Don't tempt her with vices of the material world, they mean nothing to her. Show her the way the of books and she will show you the way to her heart."

I found this incredible letters from tumblr, you can check it out in here.

Blog Makeover

After four months, I finally changed my layout. It's a bit cleaner compared to the previous one (methinks) and I made the color scheme revolve around green, orange and chocolate. The concept is (obviously) about traveling. I don't think I'll ever get over the whole "life's a journey" mantra I have with regards to how I view life. And for a change, I made a typography for the header. I also upated my sidebar and also added new pages, you can click it to see what's new in my blog.
