Day 4 Favorite Place - Bandung

Bandung is so damn freezing right now. I think because it's already rainy season on November. Last time, I read the news that the temperature is around 15-17 degree (Celcius). Whoaa, it's a breezing one. But I do really like it. Even when Bandung is hot, I like it even more (FYI, I don't like rainy days) 

Bandung is so crowded after all. From week to week, the traffic jam getting worse. And when I'm looking at the car on the road, most of all have letter 'B' on their police number. I'm wondering why many Jakarta's people always come to Bandung so often? What are they looking for? And thanks God, you still make my Bandung feel kinda freezing even when so many Jakarta's people so crowded here and might bring some 'hot' situation ;p

I always think that Bandung is so special and beautiful. I think lot of people feel the same way about it. My Bandung is getting crowded and famous. But I hope Bandung will be the same for me. I hope Bandung will never change. Even at least start from some years ago, Bandung have a lot of transformation. I feel a little dissapointed, but this is still my city. I have lived here for almost twenty five years, for whole my life. So I will love this city until I die. I will not forget this city and what happening to me in here. 

With love, from me. :)

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,

Today, I was bored 'till dying.

And I just making some look at my account on this website.. And feeling kinda surprise when I found the blouse that look like a kebaya..

So, I mix and match until I got this :

front

back

It's already quite long when I last played Looklet, and how much fun, when I went back again, apparently had a lot of additional models and settings.

As seen, I love the character of the model's face. And how the skirt is similar to Indonesian woven pattern (although I know it was printed)


Oh, how I love Indonesian Look!!

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..
