I'm not a runner. I'm just a person who wants to exercise more. Running is one of the 'easiest' thing to do. Since I also love to getaway, one of the thing to make me cemunguddhh to exercise is by running while I travel. It's so much fun to run in a new place, different scenery, unknown people (or people you only meet while you travel--hello, mbak Ajeng makasih udah nemenin lari!), and definitely new route. So, last September, I went to Singapore for weekend getaway, and ran for 2 days in a row. Super fun!
It is indeed a very pleasant time to run from Gardens By The Bay to art & science museum (too bad I didn't take pictures), or morning run near the hotel and surprisingly found beautiful lake with fresh air-- where no pollution and tukang asongan!

Daripada lebaran tambah lebaran, mending leba-Run :)
Eid Mubarak 1434 H!
Maaf lahir & batin
was out running during eid holiday and cycling the next day with my brother. The view behind my house complex was beautiful, wasn't it? :)
Watching Sigur Ros live was such a magical experienced since the very beginning. They can really set up the mood to the maximum, with their amazing visual and beautiful music.
I might be far away from where Jonsi stood. And it's also the first time I just sat down, without busy taking pictures, but just enjoying the concert. Listen to the music. Feel the ambience. Be a part of the concert. Not want to let the concert ends. It was so magical. Wonderful. Beautiful.
I didn't understand even a word what Jonsi said. I might just know 'brosandi' and 'hoppipolla' word. By this, I think Sigur Ros has proved what music is for; to feel, to enjoy, to be grateful hearing such a good music.
I am thankful I was there.
I am grateful I had such experience to see them live.
Watching concert sometimes is a once in a life time moment you won't regret, because it's so wonderful to see and hear good music live.
And Sigur Ros concert is one of the reason why.
Another bucket list has been stroke.

"Remember one thing:
when all you ever do is try to please others, the only one you’ll let down is yourself."
Because there's always one person who need your attention.
It's yourself.
I haven't said before that my life was bad, but this is bad. You'll find how much nightmares you've been afraid of in me.
--
Night can be called a night when you need a human-made to see the light. I am sitting on the porch, with Gravity song on my ear. My lips are locked. My throats deeply understanding every word this song said. Every single meaning behind it.
Gravity stay the hell away from me.
How can we describe thing as 'bad'? What the criteria--the real criteria to state it as a bad? If you think your life is bad, how can you know that it was or will be good? Isn't bad is just a word to blame for every mistake you've done? For every risk you've taken? For every chances you've left? For every word you've said?
Because what I learned, what you did reflects to what is happening now and what will happen later.
It's a karma. It's not about good nor bad. It's a life.
So what, if your life isn't what you captured before? If it's all about the risk you've taken, the chances you've left, the mistakes you've done, words you've said--how dare you blame for what you got today? Life is always good, you know. For every bad you think it is, you have to look down, see around, to feel what other might feel. To see what other can see that you can't. To understand that you don't have to underestimate your life. No, it's not bad. It's good. It's always good.
Bad is just a perspective.
Because you know, it's life anyway.
Bad or good, it's how you see it.
It's all about perspective.
I miss the feeling of getting lost in a nice place alone.
Being alone doesn't mean that you have nothing.
Being alone means that you have a full time to think about yourself,
to understand what you want and what you need.
To understand you.
Sometimes, being lost can lead you to find yourself.
Can't believe it's already Java Jazz Festival again! Even the venue is in the far far away island, but I still made it to be part of it. Well, actually it's because I should write about it XD. But anywaay, Java Jazz has became 'another' annual conference for me and of course other music lovers to see great musicians performance on many stages in just 3 days only. I came only on the 1st day, but overall get excited to see how Indonesian musicians were more appreciated we can see by its fullhouse! Congrats!
So, just in case you are not Indonesian and want to know about this music festival, Java Jazz Festival is a 3-days music festival for Jazz lovers. You can see many great jazz performances, not only from Indonesia, but also international musicians. This is absolutely a chance to see good music in 3 days, especially if you only can see music through your local tv, it's a totally refreshment. Just watch ad be part of it, you can already feel the music and enjoy this festival.
Not only because I love music, but this festival had a really warm memory for me. We can just hear, see, and feel it. :)
See you in Java Jazz Festival 2014!
I don't know since when, but, I've been addicted to travel. To be in a place I've never been before. To get lost and be found in unknown place. To explore new things. To see different things. To feel that everywhere is a home.
Berkeliling, berkelana. Sendiri, berdua, bersama. Tidakkah tidak kau rasakan bahwa, dunia itu luas. Dan semakin engkau melihat, semakin engkau menyadari betapa kecilnya kita.
Go travel. Lihatlah dunia tidak sesempit yang kau lihat sehari-hari. Bukalah pikiran seluas dunia baru yang kau pun tak tahu seperti apa itu. Mempelajari. Memaknai. Tiap langkah dan tiap tatap adalah berharga. Sebuah ilmu yang mungkin tak akan kau temukan jika hanya melihatnya lewat buku semata.
To know the best of you, to learn good things in the world, to see the precious moments. Untuk melihat hidup yang lebih luas. Berpikir yang lebih dalam. Serta melihat lebih seksama.
Sisihkan waktumu untuk melihat dunia, yang berbeda dengan apa yang kamu lihat lima hari sebelumnya.
Dan untuk pergi tidak perlu sampai mendapat bonus.
Cukup menunggu promosi tiket pesawat, ketika beli satu dapat dua seperti saya, misalnya.
