Lumiere in Tenerife

Have you ever heard Ed Sheeran song called Tenerife Sea? That song is one of many songs i like from Ed Sheeran :) no wonder, cause he's my favorit singer ;P

Well, what I'm trying to say is, that song is soo beautiful.
As beautiful as my memories when I was walking in the mountains in Tenerife with the view to the ocean. As romantic as the night in Masca with some lights from the small villages and looked up to the sky there were many stars twinkling . As calm as the day by the beach in Tenerife sea. Also, as comfortable as one week holiday i spent there with very nice local people.

Tenerife is a lovely places. I like when there are not so many tourist there and I stayed in the mountain part in Masca. A bit called at night, sometime we are over the cloud, yep the land above the cloud how cool is that :) but the view around especially down to the ocean was so breathtaking like no words can describe.

These are us from our balkon in Masca. and the ocean just hiding in the back of those mountain. We can walk down from our place to the ocean. The way through the mountain valey to  the ocean called Masca track and it was so amazing too. 

 Unfrogetable beautiful sun sunny day and we walked along the top of mountain. It was so so beautiful just like in the fairytale.

I just can't stop taking selfie pictures. I can't hardly resist my self but to takes thousands pictures there :) this one was taking by myself too.

The other side of Masca is other mountain, the highest mountain in Tenerife with the snow on the top. The mountain called El Teide. most of the surface were dessert and the wind relatively blows so strong. I freeze myself there without jacket and warm clothes. 

Look how excited our face are to meet the Atlantic dolphin.

Be careful of what you wish for!

Be careful of what you wish for!

That's what I want to share with you, readers who randomly pass and read my blog :)

Yesterday my friend asked me if I believe in my praying. Maybe what she meant was if I believe that it will become reality or even if  there is really "someting" or "somebody" listens to my praying. Nothing I can explain to argue to her but that's question is actually I need for my self. 

If I recall all my memories what I wanted to be in the future. I'm so regret that I'm not the visionary type of person who put on my wall my life-plan what i will be in the next 1, 5, 10 years. I know that I like so much when I saw my mother return from bus-trip from other countries. I like when she knows more about the world, to be in different places, and met different people. I wanted to try to live in other countries even though I love my country and even more after I know how it feel to live in other countries. 

And know, here I am. I live in Germany since December 2013. I married German that I met in China in Oktober 2012. I haven't find any job and now I only take German course until level B1 with B1 normally people already can take a lesson in German.  

As a child, how could I imagine that i will live in Europe because i married european. Actually there are many countries not only in Europe that i'd like to live in. Perhaps, to live in Europe is something that i've wished a lil bit harder subconsiously ;). Anyway, God already arrange everything so this happen to me. 

One thing, I cannot complain to God for example that I don't have a job. So often with this internet era,  many social medias that instanly update your friends life, I envy their lifes; has a good carrier, build their own house, have the property of their own. I cannot complain because if I looking back this actually what I've wished for. I've already got what I want but as a human we never feel enough especially when we always look up to somebody's life.

God said, that God will add blessing to somebody who feel gracefull to God and remember to say thanks for what we had. I realize that the hardest part of your life is not when you are down, but when you got what you wish but you still want more and forget what blessings God has given to you. When you are down you get closer to God and God will love you more. That's why this is the hardest test for me to never complain, never compare, and be thankful! 

  (I live in the border with Switzerland. I should be thanked for God who give me chance to witness all of this beautiful nature in my life)

(My husband who is super passion to my mood swing, anger, lazy, childish behaviour, and many more... I should be very very very thankful to him and also to God that sent him for me)

        (watching sunrise in Huangshan China. This is one of special moment that I should be thanked for)

Transit in Beijing 2012

Summer holiday has already coming. I was spending 4 months to study Mandarin in Nanjing, China. My family asked me to go home to Indonesia. I do miss my family too, the way I fight with my brother and sister, the way my mum angry with me because I just sit behind the computer all TV all day long (hehe.. ) but, more than that I also want to travel around China.. Well, after long time of thought I decide to go home. But, I also want to travel before I go home (evil smile... :) ) so I did transit first to Tianjin and Beijing before Indonesia.

I have two reason for my Mum, why i should take a flight from Beijing. First is the cheaper flight ticket from Beijing compare to Nanjing and second I  also can buy cheaper souvenir in Beijing

Above is the trem in Qianmen, Shopping at Wangfujing also you can see the  special food you can find  -a scorpion satay, and in the midde is the shop at Hutong Area. 

Had a great time with my friend, Alex . He took me to Beijing  University and take a tour  there.  

I heard a beautiful sound from kind of flute but a lil bit different because it's a chinese traditional instrument. The teacher is Chinese but the student is a foreigner.

Beijing University is a famous university in Beijing also China, Beside Tsing Hua University. I like the atmosphere here, very green and cool. There are so many trees there. The building also has a classic architecture felt like walking inside the garden. 

For your tips: Right now some universities in Beijing like Tsing Hua and Beijing University they didn't allow people to pay a visit beside on saturday and sunday, or you can do like me and my friend, he call his friend first -student of beijing university- to help us passed through the security guard.

Superb Amazing Race South East Asia

Booked promo ticket 6 months in advance then it's time for me to travel all the way from Jakarta to Bangkok, Phuket, KL, and Singapore. Well, this journey has changed my way of thinking. It's surely unforgettable.

What a good deal, buy 3 tickets jakarta-Bangkok, phuket-kuala lumpur, singapore-jakarta all only for less than $100. my budget trip for 10 days. it's like amazing race but it's different with the other amazing race so I called it superb amazing race. 

First destination is Bangkok

This is not my first time to visit Bangkok, actually, but this is the first time to visit Bangkok with backpacking. I feel free to go anywhere I want to go and met lots of friends in Bangkok. Just some information for you, do you know that Bangkok is not a real name for the city. Bangkok just used for the foreigners to make it easy to remember and say. You won't buy a ticket and you have to say like 170 characters as your destination, will you? so, the full name for Bangkok is 

Krungthepmahanakhon Amornrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharat Ratchathaniburirom Udomratchaniwetmahasathan Amornphiman Awa-tarnsatthit Sakkathattiyawitsanukamprasit
(กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตรโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยา มหาดิลกภพ นพรัตนราชธานีบูรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์)

the translation is more or less about the history of thecity; if you have no idea about the words above, here's the translation for you 

The Capital City of Angles.  The Residence of The Emerald Buddha, The Great City of Impregnable, The Gracefulness of the city is steadfast and thriving, The Grand Capital which is abundant with The Nine Noble Gems, it is a Pleasant Capital, The City is abounding with the enormous Royal Palaces that resembles as the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated God, Home of the Gods Incarnate, which was Erected by Vishnu at Indra’s Behest.

nteresting isn't it? when I was there I also visit the palace in the city center

Less is More for Covering Song...

Have no Idea about my hobbies in watching cover Video on Youtube. I could spend a whole day just clicking one video to another video. The artists there just so amazing. It could be really simple but so inspiring, sometime they as good as the original singer or even better...

Here's some of my fave cover artist that I adore...

1. Kurt Schneider and Sam Tsui

I've found them a long time ago... maybe one or two years before. Now, they even get better... I love them so much. They are so Brilliant. I subscribed them and all just fantastic. Not any of their work that I don't like.
