On this day, I remember our Indonesia adventures 3 years ago, which are both happy and sad memories.

Long distance relationships come with unique challenges. Doubts. Heart Broken. Failing Communication. They are just there to make us strong. Three years ago, we tried our best to make up for the years we were apart. We decided to meet in INDONESIA to make our long distance relationship a fulfilling and memorable one.

Indonesia is gifted with beautiful sceneries. The long and risky driving to Mt. Batur was the most challenging in our trip. I have to close my eyes because the roads climb up to a ridge and when it descends back into a valley made me feel dizzy. I felt better after I saw the awesome lake at the base of the volcano.

Since this is a volcanic area, they have public hot spring. We never missed eating with their local porridge and curry chicken.

I met this old woman still using this old boat to move around the lake and even using this to catch fish for food.

Because I look like an Indonesian, it wasn't hard for me to meet, greet and make new friends. We visited one famous Batur natural hot spring in Bali. We were very delighted with their natural setting.

Our adventure never stops in the hot spring. It continues until we reached to our last destination, Ubud, Bali. Thanks, google map to lead us to the place. It is pretty challenging if you don't know the language while avoiding corrupt police.

Who could ever forget our to our risky trekking to Mt. Rinjani.

Sooner or later, we realized whatever how challenging our journey is we still end up arriving at our destination. What a relieve and fulfilling trip!

Memories in Austria from June 7 to June 16

Day 1 in Vienna – June 7, 2012 Leaving Budapest makes me sad, but going to Vienna makes me so excited. Another cultural experience has been waiting for us. So, the day before we left the country, we made sure that we have the necessary foods for the trip and cash because we need to buy train ticket. We woke up early and started walking at 5am heading to the Train Station, Budapest- Keleti. We supposed to leave at 6:05 am; however, there was something wrong with the rail jet, so we were transferred to another train that left at 7:10. We reached in Wein Meilding station in Austria at 9: 58am. Of course, travelling is not really all fun. I felt so tired specially, you can’t sleep well and you have to wake up so early. This train or Railjet 60 is much faster than the train we had from Bekes while the train from Debeljaca to Becej is the slowest of all. This is really second to Bullet Train. They have comfortable seats and ventilations. They give us program to inform us about ...

Lesson learned: Expect the Unexpected

T raveling is not e asy e specially when you have to step out of your comfort zone. A ll the inconvenience, desperation, and unexpected troubles that happened during the trip are lessons to reflect upon. We have proven how risky traveling is w hen my husband and I went to Europe for our honeymoon last year. T here were times we put our selves in danger because we messed out our bookings and things didn't work out as we planned them. Since the first day of our trip, we were used to booking our next departure ticket ever y time we arrived in a city. It was in contrast on what happen in Sweden. We didn’t know that we had to book the ticket from Copenhagen. Apparently, we thought that we are getting ahead, but we are not. We had to call Denmark's office to book the ticket knowing that we had no where to print it. It was a blessing that the S...

Letting Go of All Worries in Donna Buang Snow Mountain, Warburton | Snowplay | August 12, 2019

They say that winter always describes as cold, numbness, scarcity even associates with death. For me, that is snow, that is those days of bluster and ice that can be dangerous, but it can be also magical. It is a flash of diamonds that are covered everywhere. It is just all pure and white. May I wish that these thick pillows adorned on the trees and the soft and fluffy snow I am stepping on could heal all my worries about the future. Yet today, I am happy simply to walk with my family in it, it creates footprints of our own. The snow is soft enough that walking itself is very challenging because aside from it is so slippery, my feet are plunging to it. " God... please help me not to slip." The worried thoughts of a 27- week pregnant mommy me. And this is my winter pregnancy worries.
