Rough Guide to Bali

Penjor "Hey I am coming to Bali, can you recommend me things to do?" I got that question a lot. I get it, I live in Bali so people would think that I master everything about Bali. Well... 50:50. I happened to travel around Bali since 2017. So it wasn't wrong to assume me knowing Bali. But I am also a lazy traveler so I don't always do many things in one place.  That is why we will call this a rough guide to Bali.  First thing first, define your style of traveling. Because we all know that Bali is an island. Not a city. So it is quite big, you know. You can not explore all of it in two weeks. Well you might be able to do so, but probably not immersing enough of it.  So... what is your style of traveling? Bali offers you some cultures, quiet normal life, party hotspots, quiet beaches, busy beaches, temples, and so on.  Mt Batur West part of Bali (Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta) If you enjoy partying, you might want to spend your time more in the west part of Bali like Canggu, ...

How are you?

Hello there! It's been awhile. I am so occupied here (with what? lol). Let's catch up on some things.

So how are you? Alles goed? I almost finish my Dutch lesson level 1. I can make a complete sentence now so I am happy that FINALLY!!! At least now I can say more than just Ik hou van jou 😂 I definitely will continue my lesson and thinking about taking French after that 😇

I've been working with someone from Canada, remotely. And I am taking a branding course that really interesting for me. So every time I walk into some shops or see some branding things I would be like "Hmm is that true that you're eco friendly or it is just greenwashing? Ah I know you use this to cover your previous fail branding about that issue!" 😂 On a serious note, I am really interested with this branding stuff and would love to share some when I finish. I will only share what I need to share 😋

I am little bit avoiding login into my social media accounts although it is not easy to do that I still need to log into it to catch up some news. The news lately making me so stressful that make me feel exhausted and tired even siomay and es kopi can't fix my mood. That's a serious thing when foods can't fix me. So I decided to skip for some days. Then when it got little bit chill, my husband sent me some news that I knew since last week and started to talk about it. Oh boy. That was intense.

  
Let's chill. Go get some ice cream

I don't want to talk about the protest and everything happened for the last couple of week, but I am so concerned about people who doesn't know about marital rape. Where almost everybody think that marital rape is okay. Ok we're talking about the real rape where there are no consent from one side. Not the "rape" term as in BDSM. No women, you're allowed to say no if you are tired or not in the mood or sick or anything to your husband. (and vice versa). It is not sinful. Align your logic to your holy book, and you'll find the match.

Oh catching up some about these religious thing pressure, I am un-followed by some friends that finds me annoying because I am criticizing too much about religion and thought that I am convert. They can't handle my guts. Ah they love me, talked about me behind my back. So lovely 😊

Three months living in Bali, make me happy. I feel that I found myself (more) and really enjoying it. When people asked, "Does it feel like everyday is sunday in Bali?" I can say yes to that 😊 it is so enjoyable and liberating living in a place where there is nobody tell you what to do.

 
Seminyak

So I think that's it. I will write more soon. Have a good day everybody 😉

Note: due to our complicated situation lately make the stock market dropping down. It is a good time to buy some stock. Go get some stock pals!

Jumat ceria

Hari ini memang bukan hari jumat, tapi cuman mau bilang aja sih kalo hari yang paling aku tunggu-tunggu itu hari jumat. Why?   Karena jumat itu selalu ceria, kalopun ada meeting besar pasti di hari jumat dan banyak cemilan, orang-orang pada berangkat sholat jumat, yang nasrani juga mengikuti misa di kantor, bisa pake baju bebas dan bebas berekspresi sepuas-puasnya, dan..... bisa video call sepuasnyaaaaaa kapanpun karena dia libur kerja 😍😍 gambarnya lucu 😁  taken from internet

Jangan minta oleh-oleh!

    Taken from internet Pernah nggak kalau kita mau bepergian, trus orang-orang pada bilang 'Jangan lupa oleh-olehnya ya' ? Pasti pernah dong ya... Yang jelas saya nggak pernah ngerti kenapa orang sering meminta sesuatu ketika kita pergi somewhere. Dulu waktu kecil juga saya suka bilang begitu. Siapa yang pergi kemana pasti deh 'jangan lupa oleh-olehnya ya om, tante pakdhe, budhe, mas, mbak'. Tapi lama kelamaan saya mikir 'saya cuman ngomong aja tanpa niat minta oleh-oleh', kecuali kalo memang kita menitipkan hal itu karena memang hanya ada ditempat yang akan dikunjungi orang tersebut, misal buku. Pernah nitip beliin buku di Korea karena emang adanya disana. Jadi esensinya oleh-oleh itu apa? Saya juga kurang tau soalnya udah nggak pernah lagi minta dibawain oleh-oleh. HJ pulang ke Belanda sana saya cuma minta beliin buku. Itupun nggak dibeliin gara-gara bukunya nggak bagus kata dia. Oleh-oleh pun ada yang sekedar apa adanya karena emang adanya begitu...

Meneropong Bulan di Mleiha

Foto diambil dan diedit di hp gw sendiri. Mleiha - 2020 Sepertinya gw memang ditakdirkan untuk mencintai science . Gw ingat sekali, buku yang bikin gw jatuh cinta kepada alam semesta dan ilmu-ilmu yang tersimpan di dalamnya adalah buku Ensiklopedia yang dibawa papa gw dari perpustakaan sekolahnya. Nggak dibalikin pula. Dosa nggak ya gw? 😬 Di buku itu, ada beberapa bagian. Berupa sejarah, astronomi, dan budaya. Gw terpana dengan kesemuanya. Ada banyak gambar-gambar benda-benda langit. Gw susah banget soal hafalan yang dipaksa, tapi gw bisa inget urutan planet-planet bahkan saat kelas 2 SD. 2 SD dulu kayaknya belom belajar planet-planet ya? Benda-benda antariksa itu nggak pernah gagal bikin gw melongo gila. Setelah melongo, hati gw rasanya penuh dengan kekaguman dan itu biasanya bertahan selama berminggu-minggu. Gw juga selalu bermimpi buat beli teleskop. Dari SD gw kumpulin segala macem artikel tentang astronomi, berlanjut hingga SMA dan gw deketin semua temen gw, kakak kelas gw yang i...
