Dawn In Desa Gumati

Have A Splendid Tuesday

I host myself with bliss knowing splendid moment of today would move me to sweeter life after witnessed The Gunners outclassed Blackburn Rovers on this early morning

I know my joy would be complete if this weekend shall be wasted in Bali -an always adorable place that keeps me in the wings of dreams-, wishing I’d retire in the next 4 years before maturity of life wraps me naturally

Until the moment when I’m jotting down this piece of writing, my heart firmly believes this Island of Gods does what it takes to be the best place on earth and I’ll keep my focus on this dream

As life leads me always in colorful way, I was on a steep learning curve last night as my sometime-over-tenacious approach of “giving more than expected” might have landed me in hot water with some close friends

I, though, firmly believe this type of incident is now behind me

I know I’ve been guilty of not telling completely the better way to win and without clear explanation, others might find it hard to accept and edge inconvenience back into the mind

But life is about the process of learning and it is on the wing of this faith, I’ve been improving my skills, knowledge and expertise of dealing with other people in the close circle and no wonder I’ve been known for being one of the nicest communicators in the group

No damage was caused only explanation needed to clear the air of confusion

Now I’m sitting here, looking down all clear ways while morning was about to capture me with great feelings of Tuesday

Now I’m thinking of flying to Bali to see my Latino friend and till I’ve got the ticket, I’ll enjoy this day to the fullest

Have a splendid Tuesday!

Just Being There With Coffee

Just being there when life loves you more (with coffee)

Just being there when life wants you more (with coffee)

Just being there when life need you more (with coffee)

And just being there when life has no other better to offer (of course, with coffee)

Happy Lunar New Year 2559

Sensing a break in small village would perfect my way back into the freshness, I was relishing another moment of life with serenity of nature and tranquility of lake that hard to beat

I don’t have any slightest worry to confess this lost heaven was felt inside my heart when evening falls on with aplomb

All I know this pouring rain washed away my worry, creating such astonishing emotion while mirroring any falling rain into collection of perfection

I luv pouring rain for many reason and what an enticing time indeed!

All I know Lunar New Year was in the making on Thursday, 7 Feb 2008
And I'm wishing you a Happy Lunar New Year, welcome to our Year of Mice 2559.

Desa Gumati

I could understand why this loving feeling would be partly of two-night-stay in Desa Gumati but to love my life more in this soothing village was just beyond my best hope

I felt I was at the best village in this country

I love the evening and just couldn’t help myself not to admire the dawn of Desa Gumati

And now you could understand why I hated leaving this place

A Letter From Gili... (The Sunset..)

If the whole world was watching this dazzling sunset…

Then it now knows exactly why some people –included me- deem sunset in Gili Trawangan to be one of the best features this cracking world could give

I was sucked into silence, silence of bliss, knowing this moment of life was just in the making as continued magic feeling kept flowing like the red wine

While standing near shoreline, all of sudden, the trueness of perfect creation by our Dear Lord occupied this entire mind and I knew truthfully how greatness was His creation to this wonderful earth

No complaint was spoken nor was there grievance of hot weather which disrupted previous night sleep which earlier I was longing for to be perfect sleeping moment

But there was just about ecstasy, a feeling of thankfulness, a place where I could be as free as I wanted before the night took me to a pub where nice band was playing “Welcome To Paradise” while a tempting offer of Mushroom –a perfect way to heaven- was in offer

There was a time when I was lost in panache, mesmerized by startling color of sunset that you might claim as the best color of the day

There was a time I was wordless when trying to find obvious border of shoreline where ocean ends, when beach starts

There was a time; many times I was speechless…

If asked whether this sunset was the best in the world, it was still arguably one of the best, but it was surely one of the best moments of my life, standing near shoreline, watching sunset crawling back while wishing for another perfect sunset would visit me again tomorrow

Till then, I should rush for another moment of this day, a time to seize the music, a moment to taste grilled sea foods and a right time, perhaps, to wish all of you a very good night before fragile wind of Gili took me away in dream

I wish to see you in my dream, a striking dream of Gili Trawangan…

By now I know I’d be forever in love with this amazing place, Gili….

A Letter From Gili ...(The Beach)

A morning of joy was given here

Stunning sunshine wrapped me in smiles when walking down stairway only to find blue ocean was there waiting me to swim while a thought of grabbing tasty breakfast was crossing my mind too

For a while I knew this first day was made in heaven

As my breakfast was over I stalked into the beach, finding powdery sand in my barefoot before trapped in overjoyed feeling because to be in Gili Trawangan was one of my best wishes on this year

Lush scenery of Blue Ocean was painted in meters away and who dared not to be amazed with such vibes?

Who could say no to such “heaven on earth”?

Now the color of blue was just everywhere…
And Blue Ocean was the only view of the day to indulge any jovial mood, realizing a day like this wouldn’t come every week or every month

So don’t blame me if beach loves me and don’t judge if l love snorkeling like second to none because snorkeling was the only way to see underwater creature which was indescribably beautiful

Again, I love snorkeling and you might laugh at me as I wish I were a Nemo –a smart clown fish-, I wish to swim freely, play joyfully and dance cheerfully with any of loving creature

I saw some nice corals too, colorful textures were shared in brilliant view and endless admiration to our Dear Lord continued like no other end

When sun hit the peak I ended up with snorkeling but I knew I’d be back to resume another love affair with snorkeling and Nemo tomorrow

Until then, I’d keep writing again and next I’d write about astonishing sunset
