Mangrove Forest - and green water paranoia

Sooooooo

Now you see how moody I am. I was so excited to write a blog when I first created this undoubtedly-unimportant blog two years ago (i reread my first post and really...really... i wanna throw up).

But theeeeeeen, after two posts, my excitement seemed to crawl out of my body and soul somehow, so this undoubtedly-pathetic blog was left uncared (this blog has the same fate with the flowers that i ever planted). A year after I gave birth to this blog, I came back with a story about a crazy monkey, then I disappeared again for almost a year. 

I'm writing this now because of (no, my excitement hasn't crawled back) being motivated.

So recently I love to watch motivational and inspirational videos on youtube (coz i thought i was so unmotivated that i might end up commit suicide once my parents stop funding me) and i came across a video, there's a middle-aged woman (crap! i forgot her name) talking about 'window' and stuff. She said everyone has 5 seconds to transform knowledge into action. Within these five seconds, the window that allows us to jump from knowledge to action is open. Take a quick move! OR your motivation will go into waste. This concept has successfully made me wake up early for the past three days (Do i hear clapping? :D) Whenever i feel like waking up, i just jump out of bed, NO SNOOZING.

This morning, I was reading a fiction book of Paulo Coelho entitled  The Winner Stands Alone (have you read this? mind to share your review? okay nevermind) and after I finished a chapter, my mood started to crawl somewhere, so i started to think about doing something else. BLOG! Yes... I have a blog (3 blogs honestly) and I completely forgot about it for awhile. Should I write a post? Should I? About what? and my mind was like telling me, 'okay i open a window for u to jump in five, four, three...' so i was like, Fine I'll do it!

So here I am! Fully motivated yet don't know what to write about... LoL

(after i typed LoL, i opened my photo gallery looking for some inspiration and i suddenly knew what to share. That's when i changed the tittle of this post from 'crap... just write!' to 'Mangrove Forest'.)

During the process of writing my thesis, i took quite a lot of trips to some places nearby that i had never visited before. I know it's ridiculous. I mean, even in vacation, i don't usually go anywhere. I love my bed, my pillow, my books, my pc, everything about my room and the smell of it. But when i was writing my thesis, my brain kept shouting the holy chant 'trip! trip! trip! go out! go out! out!

So every other day (maybe everyday), after I submitted the after-revised thesis to the supervisor, i went out with my partner in trip. I guess i refered to her on the previous post as BBF. We're no longer BBF (I guess), coz now i'm quite close to her other protective bestfriends. They'r incredibly nice actually- with different n unique personality. I'll talk about them on next post.

One of the place that we visited was Mangrove Forest. It's not really far from my house, less then an hour ride. I'd never been there before though it isn't far. 

Mangrove Forest is a quite popular destination in NTT actually. I've seen lots of my friends posted their photos on facebook in this place.

To be there and breathe the fresh air was way greater than seeing the beauty of it through others' shot. 

It's beautiful! Soooo nature! 

We walked on the wooden bridge, surrounded by mangrove everywhere, bellow the bridge was kinda-green-water... Pardon my lame description. 

I mean, the bridge starts from the seashore to the sea... but as long as you can see the mangroves, the water is green until you're no longer see the green leaves and only the ocean, that's when you'll have the clear vision of the blue sea, blue sky, and the high mountain on the other side of the sea.

There're some water cottages you can use to take a rest before continue walking along the bridge. (I dont know since when i change the personal pronoun from I/we to you... God, i so suck at this).

So here are some pics of me... I hope the pics can give you a clearer view about Mangrove Forest 😁

See the water? I was actually a bit paranoid by the water. What if there're crocodiles down there? What if my phone fall down? and lots of What ifs... ikr

Now you know why there're lots pics of me. I have my own photographer ^_^

The one acting like going to fly with the help of a jacket is my lil sister.

Though there's an unpaid-photographer, selfie must go on ^_^

My version of  Yoga LoL

Now this is the end of the long bridge. Some kids jump down the sea to swim around. Legends don't swim LMFAO

 

So that's it! Hope you enjoy the tour (and my junk thought) and let's hope that i'll stay motivated to write the next post soon (and i i hope i don't give a new definition of 'soon').  

Let's stay inspired and motivated!

Well Planned Trip

Hellooooo Doobiiiess......

I'm back now... after a year heheheehe

I know, I know... you might be thinking "this lazy girl... it'd be better if u didn't write blog at the first place... waiting for your post is like waiting for rain in the summer"  and for that... I really am sorry. Anyway, to be honest, Iam 100% sure there's nobody out there waiting for my post.. not even read it. soooooo I'm free from feeling guilty. I was just made it up... make it sounds like i'm having thousands of loyal readers haha who cares.. screw it! I write so I can read it later for myself. I'm a very big fan of myself....oh and Greyson Chance too

Ok... Let's drop the chit chat

sooooooo now I wanna share to you all my trip with my Backstreet Bestfriend couple days ago (30,31 oct). What? You wanna know why I call her BBf? It might take 12 hours to explain, but ok let me just give the short version. So,,, Her name is Feby. Actually I wanna kinda censor her name like F*** but I know you have a dirty mind so I didn't do it. 

Next! Feby has 3 bestfriends from her class and they are incredibly possessive, if you know what I mean. It's like they put a tag on Feby's forehead written "She is ours... not for share... Thanks!" haha I know it's quite normal. Girls are like that. They hate to see their beloved ones get together with someone else. Because of this... whenever Feby and I were out somewhere, we made sure that they wont find out. It's indeed radicilous. I mean, Feby and I are just 2 girls share lots of things in common. That's why we feel comfortable each other, and that's why even in the different classes we often hang out together. I don't mind going out with those three too, but Feby says hell no, it wont work.

So I guess you can figure it out where the hell that term BBf comes from.

Anyway... let's get back to the trip ^^

Monday morning (actually I wasn't feeling good that day.. but I took the meds and prepared to go) Feby came to my dorm with her little brother (she said he's her bodyguard..her mom wont allow her going anywhere without him :D). I packed my bag and we went to King Mart to buy some snacks. My trip expectation was to get rid of some calories yet we still prioritize the snacks haha (Girls will be girls)

Our destination was a place named Batu Putih, miles away from town. After 2 hours on bus, we finally got there.  Uh uh not yet, 4 km to go, and I insisted to walk. I thought it was near. Hell! We had been walking for hours but it seemed like our destination was still faaaar away. Feby was so upset and the look on her face was like "it's all your fault... if you don't insist to walk, then we're already in the inn right now.. scretching out feet and taking nap" hahaa Com'on... trip expectation was to loose calories,, so hell yes we had to walk.

Let me just make it short, because honestly, Im kinda loosing my mood to write again :p

We arrived at Feby's relatives' house at Batu Putih (after a very long walk of course), we had lunch and after taking a break for 2 hours, then we began our adventure to some beautiful spots. It was awesome. The scenery, the landscape, the journey, the story, the selfies :D they are all awesome.

We went back home the next day, at 3 pm. Feby brought home a box full of mangoes :D

Here are some pictures of our trip

Im with those purple shoes^^

It's me who took the selfie ^^

Me with my fellow cows :D

Cool huh? I mean the landscape :D

 It was an amazing trip, despite the sick I brought home :D  I'm good now anyway, after took 13 pills of paracetamol in 5 days straight. Well, the trip worth it.

Second post : Crazy Monkey... Damn YOu!!

Hellloww Doobiesss
what'z up?!

The first experience i want to share to all of you guys happened last year,, on December 28th exactly. I was spending my christmas holiday just at home (as always) when my friend asked me to go out with some of my classmates. Actually I didn't want to 'coz I was just  getting better from sick..but..... I thought going out for some fresh air might not be a bad idea so I decided to go.

It was 'Gua Monyet' that we chose to visit. We were bored to go to the beach so we picked a totally different place than usual. Alright, let's get back to "Gua Monyet". The place was named Gua Monyet 'coz there are many monkeys living inside the cave (Monyet means monkeys). It's not like common caves you've ever seen. Just some holes of mountain coral-stone which are look like caves (I don't know what im saying. Just picture any cave you like LOL)

Before getting there, we stopped by at a snack bar to buy some snacks for us and for the monkeys, of course. We were told that if we go there without bringing snacks or something to eat, the monkeys will get angry and carry away our belongings. That's why we prepared everything well 'coz we didn't want they stole our bag or HP into their caves :D LoL

Right after we were there, one by one monkeys were coming out from the cave and looking at  us. We fed them the snacks. They were so tame that you don't have to be afraid that your hands will be eaten/bitten/chewed by them. I gave them food in my hand and they ate that, not my hand but the food certainly  :v

       (It's me :) feeding the monkey)

The crazy thing was,, even I've fed them, they still stole my own belonging. My Coca-Cola. Yeahh one of the monkeys ( I bet he was the worst/naughtiest one) grabbed the coca-cola from my hand. I only had a sip (Damn Monkey) ..

Look! looks like he enjoyed the cola so much.. my coca-cola :( 

I promise one day if I come back here I will bring a bottle of whiskey,, A special gift for this one brat (The coca-cola monkey).

And not only my coca-cola.. a bottle of mineral water (AQUA) was also stolen by one of them (maybe the best friend of that one which has stolen my coca-cola :D). Since the bottle couldn't be opened, he tore the bottle using his teeth till the water came out and he drank it up.

I was wondering,, Do monkeys eat and drink everything we eat and drink? after coca-cola, AQUA,  what's next? Coffee? Tea? duhh

By the way, that was one of many nice experience i've ever had (however the monkeys were not all nice) :D

The thing that  has been stuck in my mind is,, is that kind of place will still exist in this modern n global world? Let's say a decade from now... How long till the place be changed to hotels or any factory buildings?  Will the monkeys survive? Or will they have the same fate as the great dinosaurs?
