It has been more than 6 months of 2019.
Ups and downs, fast and slow, move and stop, right and wrong.
I asked myself what actually I am running for? Why planning is matter? Why everything must be exactly the same as I planned? Why I expect something? Why I did same mistake? Why I struggle for something that MAYBE isn't worth it?
This month is one of craziest month during this year, extremely crazy. Why? First, my working life was really tight and so many things to do. Second, my personal life was disappointing and fucked up. Don't ask me why because it is pretty complicated. LOL.
Because of that I planned to go somewhere to escape, yes! Take a break and breathe.
I planned to go to Philliphines to swim with a whale shark and eat some crazy food there.
I also planned to go to Vietnam to sleep on the boat in the middle of Ha long bay.
Lastly, I planned to go to Belitung just wanna see one of the biggest stand up paddle competition in Indonesia.
Well, everything is messed up! And I end up going home with my 6 days leave. Disappointing? I thought so, but I was wrong.
So, I decide to go to Bandung and join my teammates to Pocari Sweat Bandung Marathon.
I am really happy and feeling energized, because I felt my teammates transfer a positive vibes and a new sprits to me.
We closed the day wih a nice coffee latte and Tahu goreng ;)
And after that, I spent my another days to enjoy Bandung in my old way. Woke up super early morning to catch the sunrise, feel the summer breeze, drink an ice coffee latte, and enjoy my childhood memories.
I took some pictures that always be my favorite view, when the street is no traffic, people walking humbly and having a low key conversation while sipped their hot sweetened coffee, everyone breathes with a clean oxigen, and we enjoy when the crazy day is not started yet.
We back to the street! I still love to hear the sound of analog shutter sound.
Jalan Braga, early morning, 5:40 AM
An iconic street artist in Bandung.
It is nice to see everyone can walk almost everywhere.
Conventional news paper? Why now? Its always convenience for your eyes, no?
Jalan Asia Afrika with no cars or motorbikes at all!
Savoy homan Hotel with a shy sunrise.
Mesjid Agung Bandung with a clear sky.
Bandung morning weather is always great. I know why a lot of people love this city.
After 3 hours sightseeing in a city, I had a nice coffee morning in a hidden coffee place which is pretty nice and good to chill and breath nicely in a middle of the city.
It is SPADAA KOFFIE , the location is in the middle of the city, just click it to make it easier anyway ;)
I enjoyed the place, is a vintage yet warm tone with a summer breeze everywhere. Love it!
Confident enough? :p
As I told you, I was wrong if I thought that my leave days will be shit. I would say this is pretty amazing. I'm feeling good, feeling positive while I was surounded by negativities lately, feeling fresh to breathe with nice Bandung weather.
Now I realized that basically happiness is not come from the other, it comes from your gut and mind.
If you found someone that makes you happy even more, so that means you are lucky ;)
But my advice, stay away from a bad influence, stay away from negativities, it will kills you, kill your personality, kill your body and soul. Be good! Be ok!
The key to being happy is knowing you have the power to choose what to accept and what to let go.
This current situation is giving me an opportunity to re-evaluate what I want and I need.
I am grateful with everything that happened to me.
Hi Bandung! Terimakasih ya!
