Blushing sunset of Mt. Salak. #sunset #trekking #mountain #travel #indonesia

Cristal clear water of Mt. Salak. Very cold and refreshing. #trekking #mountain #travel #indonesia

Last Water post, Mt. Salak. Looks like it comes out the Lost World movie, but the scenic brooks certainly feels like a little piece of heaven. #trekking #mountain #travel #indonesia

At Last Water post, Mt. Salak. Along the way to here, we always follow the river trail. We can always hear the sound of the river, close and far. After this spot, it’s all rocky, slippery trail, far from water source. #trekking #mountain #travel #indonesia

Coincidences

Chilling out in a cafe, browsing #OneRepublic fandom in tumblr and then suddenly hearing Say (All I Need) playing. Awesome feeling. – Read on Path.

Situ Cangkuang, Garut. Dengan menaiki getek bambu, kita bisa menyeberang ke pulau kawasan candi Cangkuang dengan kampung adatnya. I was here with my whole family when I was in 5th grade of elementary school, our one and only road trip that my father always wanted to have again. We used to discussing on where we’d go next, but now that was just nothing but a wish. That I wish we had gone and made time. Made memories. – View on Path.

Kampung Naga. Walaupun kagum dengan kehidupan mereka yang sederhana, selalu sedih mengetahui akses pendidikan belum terlalu terjamah oleh mereka karena faktor ekonomi. – View on Path.

Udang-udangan dari anyaman bambu. Sering dipakai sebagai souvenir pernikahan di Kampung Naga. – View on Path.

Gunung Galunggung berselimut kabut. Bikin kangen sama sejuknya. – View on Path.

Solar glory atau fogbow. Sesuai namanya, fenomena pelangi yang jarang terlihat ini disebabkan oleh cahaya matahari yang terurai oleh titik-titik air di kabut, bukan titik hujan. – View on Path.

Situ Galunggung di pagi hari. Beauty sometimes is just between an arm’s reach. – View on Path.

Cerita silam: Menapaki 512 anak tangga, kami tiba di puncak Galunggung ketika fajar masih terlelap. Seiring munculnya matahari di ufuk timur, kabut turun diam- diam. – View on Path.

I crave space. It charges my batteries. It helps me breathe. Being around people can be so exhausting, because most of them love to take and barely know how to give. Except for a rare few.

Eat the damn chocolate cake, get your hair wet, love someone, dance in those muddy puddles, tell someone off, draw a picture with crayons like you’re still 6 years old and then give it to someone who is very important to you. Take a nap, go on vacation, do a cartwheel, make your own recipe, dance like no one sees you, paint each nail a different color, take a bubble bath, laugh at a corny joke. Get on that table and dance, pick strawberries, take a jog, plant a garden, make an ugly shirt and wear it all day. Learn a new language, write a song, date someone you wouldn’t usually go for, make a scrap book, go on a picnic, relax in the sun, make your own home video, kiss the un-kissed, hug the un-hugged, love the unloved, and live your life to the fullest. So at the end of the day, you’ll have no regrets, no sorrows, no disappointments.

OneRepublic Concert, Jakarta - Indonesia, October 26, 2013



It was one of the best moments in my life watching OneRepublic performing live on stage. And to end that spectacular night, I got to bring Eddie Fisher’s drumstick home!

Counting Stars is about the struggle to pursue music. I got married pretty young, so I have to provide for someone. I just couldn’t wait to not counting pennies anymore, but start counting stars.

About Wealth

I’m coming from a middle class family. My father was not a rich man. When he died, he left nothing for us, only his wisdoms. One thing he taught us is to act accordingly to our surroundings, whether in wealth or poverty. Fancy holiday in Bali or keeping it low in Semeru. Five-stars hotel or thin mattress on the floor. My father was million miles from million dollars, but I can never spend his wealth of wisdoms. – Read on Path.

Taking a rest at the shelter before continue trekking #trekking #travel #indonesia

It’s autumn in the summer. #mountain #travel #indonesia

Mystical mist coming down Ranu Kumbolo mid morning. #travel #mountain #indonesia

I could sit here all day, listening to the sound of the wind whispering songs to the grasses. #mountain #travel #indonesia

After hiking Tanjakan Cinta, we can see Mt. Kepolo. Peeking at the back of it is Mahameru summit of Mt. Semeru.

After hiking the steep track, the view is definitely worthwhile, looking at the vast expanse of Ranu Kumbolo, Mt. Semeru. #travel #trekking #indonesia

Love Hike a.k.a Tanjakan Cinta, a steep track off Ranu Kumbolo. It is believed that anyone who can hike the track without stopping or looking back will have an eternal love #trekking #travel #indonesia

Bromo valley, a sight to behold when we arrived at the truck stop. Ranupani is still an hour away by foot.

The road between Ngadas village and the last village of Ranupani. The road is not all the way smooth, some are still in renovation. We have to trek 1 hour before we can continue by ojek to Ranupani.

A village amongst the clouds. Ngadas Village, the one and only Tengger tribe village in Malang regency. The other eleven tribe villages are spread out in Probolinggo and Pasuruan. Still holding on to their tradition and beliefs, Tengger tribe still accepts modernizations, unlike the other indigenous tribe, Baduy #travel #indonesia

What I really mean to say is that I hope you aren’t held back because of a number. And that you don’t rush into things because it feels like time is slipping by. I hope you do what’s right for you. Hold on. Slow down. And breathe in. Your age is your age. But more importantly, your life is your life. Don’t change your journey so that it matches someone else’s. We need to walk different paths so the whole world can be explored. Revel in the differences. And enjoy where you are.

Every so often, life takes you by the heart and pulls you so low that you feel your soul itself is 6 feet under. Truth is, a test of life couldn’t present itself more clearly. Tests are not there to make us feel weak, contrary to popular feeling. They show us our weaknesses, true, but they do so as a way to give us the opportunity to capitalize on our strengths and grow to the next level of our personal journey. So, the lower life pulls you, know that it’s because God knows you have what it takes to climb that much higher to get back on top.

Juni tahun lalu posting foto yang hampir sama dalam flight Jakarta - Surabaya. Kala itu tujuannya Probolinggo/Lumajang dan merupakan perjalanan dinas pertama untuk kantor.
Sekarang tujuan akhir Bojonegoro dan kemungkinan merupakan perjalanan terakhir saya untuk kantor yang ini. Can’t wait to see where life takes me next! – View on Path.
