Running Errands At Jakarta (Plus Foodventuring)

Was running errands at Jakarta 2 weeks ago for 4d3n, well yeah and a lil bit of getaway. Doing a little survey of this and that and then looking for a reference books for my final project. And of course, meeting a lot of people whom I loved! Nothing beats the feeling of meeting someone you've not seen for years! It's like a volcano of joy just exploded from inside my body and then there's a tad of rainbow vomit, okay that one is gross lol. Below are some of places I went to that's been documented on my camera (on day 3 I was to weak to hold a camera lol but seriously.)

1. Colette & Lola

It's my first stop just after I landed on Jakarta, waiting to be picked up by Devi

bubble gum beads column, so friggin cute!

Cakes and dreams! It's like I'm in Katy Pery's California Girls music video lol

2. Three Buns

Couldn't not love this place at first sight! Great design indeed.

See, this place have a very good natural lighting, which then creates an immaculate ambience.

The squads that day. And no that's not my big brother, we're somekind of panda siblings by the way lol.

Our hungry faces lol.

3. Pasar Santa

Of course my visit won't be complete before I visit this the most talk-about place in Jakarta.

The famous black hot dog with the most queue in Pasar Santa. It tastes great btw.

This greasy-looking fried banana is as delicious as it looks. Me want right now :(

This sexy milk bath cake is too die for! My favorite among others! That's banana milk btw <3

This is from taco-cat. It tastes good, nothing tastes like crap here in Pasar Santa, seriously.

4. Devi's Apartment

Loving this minimalist space, small but it feels spacious. And loving the monochrome look.

Spotted the gift we gave for Devi's farewell!

The view from Devi's room. Foggy and dream-like in the morning.

I was having such a great time at Jakarta, met some friends I haven't see in a while, and it does feel so good to catching up with your long lost friend. I wish I could stay longer and having more time talking with them. Thank you everybody for sparing your time to catch up with me! Looking forward to see you guys again :)

The Adventure Of Lord Vader Pt. 1

Date: 25th April, 2014
Location: Kebun Buah Mangunan & Hutan Pinus Imogiri

For the starter, I'm not actually sure which one deserves to be posted here first. I feel like posting them all at once, but hell no I wouldn't do that because my internet bandwidth won't allow me lol. 

So why I chose this one? It's simple, because I like it. This is the one time where I'm obsessed on bringing my Darth Vader Mask along with me. I'd pretend to be Lord Vader flying across galaxy having his best adventure in Yogyakarta lol. Sorry but I'm that imaginative.. or weird whatever.

That day we went to two locations. First destination is Kebun Buah Mangunan which is located in Mangunan (obviously), Bantul and is not that far from Yogyakarta, it's just 45-minutes drive away from where I live. As it is located 150-200 metres above sea level, from its view-point we can overlook the breath-taking panoramic view of Bantul with its beautiful Kali Oyo. I was stunned when I first got there, the view is utterly gorgeous that I didn't wanna leave at the moment.

See what I meant here. It is that heavenly and it is even more heavenly in real.

Lord Vader was having a guhreat time there, enjoying nature that doesn't exist in his Death Star.

Oh yeah Lord Vader was also teaming up with Mr. Stark here. They're having an important meeting.

For the second destination, we drove to Hutan Pinus Imogiri which is located near Kebun Buah Mangunan, just 10-minutes drive away. Nothing panoramic here, just a pine forest which resembles the one from Twilight. But as for me, I felt like I just landed on Planet Endor, you know the one where cute-little-canibals Ewok tribe live. So yes it is the story of Lord Vader visiting Ewok's home but there's no Ewok in sight because they're scared of Lord Vader lol. Pardon my non-sense please.

Teaming up once again with Mr. Stark. Force-choking and repulsor-blasting those who have lack of faith.

Me! Unmasking the Lord Vader mask. 

This was me obsessed with the force-choking pose. Sorry not sorry.

The fine pine forest. Waldensamkeit moment :)

Lord Vader looking for Ewok tribe but none of them appeared in sight.

Lord Vader having a moment of solitude with pine (?)

Well I guess that's all from the Lord Vader journey this time. I still have one journey with my Vader mask. Yes just one because it got boring at one point so I quit haha. Can't wait to upload it soon.. or later.

A Perfect Getaway

at last I have a few days off from the vicious assignments, they finally declared a truce (temporarily sadly). last friday is an ied adha day, a big day for the Muslim, therefore making the weekend one day longer. oh yes I do love long weekend, but well who doesn't? people in a parallel world maybe haha. anyhow on this lovely long weekend, my family gathered here in Yogyakarta (minus my big brother unfortunately) to take a short trip on this super short holiday ☺ and guess what? we went to the beach! woohoo finally I got another chance to witness this impeccable creation ♡♥ damn I've been craving for this since my holiday in Bali, I was beyond excited the moment my mom told me about this plan. well I guess I won't talk much, I'll just leave the pictures here ✌

here's the beautiful beach: be careful of it.. it will literally take your breath away by its charm

the picturesque horizon: where the sky and the ocean meet, creating a relaxing view

the sea shore: place where people releasing the negatives, remain them as happy people

the ocean wave: which sounds can cause you to be chill and calm.. and happy

my little brother being friendly and playful with the ocean ripple

and here's my dad keeping an eye on my little brother whilst enjoying the ocean's breeze

a bendi by the shore: bendi is a vehicle pulled by a horse, I bet the horse love their workplace here :p

pastel color is sure enticing, it even works on this bendi ♥

yes it is the same bendi as the prev photo, and no I didn't shoot it deliberately haha

it is indeed a perfect getaway ☮♡ I really enjoy every moment of it, big time, no regret at all baby no regret. anyway have a magnificent day people, I hope your weekend is as good as mine :)
