Day 2 Your Hobby - Dancing Passionately

Today's challenge is to draw my hobby. I always love to do the traditional dance, especially the Javanese dance. Beside my daily activities, I always feel like dancing is my sanctuary. I dance to relax. I enjoy every single step that Javanese traditional dance have. It was very smooth and beautiful. I feel like a 'real' woman when I dance. ;)

And off course it was very hard, especially when I have to listen to the melody from the Gamelan set. I have this special community in my college back then. I was dancing with them for two years. And it's been very wonderful experience that I ever feel. Right now, I'm kinda busy to get along with them anymore. And I'm missing them like crazy. I hope in the future I can going back to dance again :')

Passionately

Definitely,

,said my father..

Ullen Sentalu

"ulating blencong sejatine tataraning lumaku"

Life is like a blencong's light (the traditional lamp used to illuminate the screen in a puppet show in Java, like senthir or kerosene lamps). Flame swaying in the wind, not fixed and unstable. So we must be careful stepping in life we had.


This is the meaning of the name of Ullen Sentalu Museum. A very good museum, with extraordinary ambience.. Makes me more proud of Indonesian culture. You have to go there. And just enjoy and learn..
