Rafting di Pengalengan I

Being a noob and having nothing to do in my work tortures me like a lot!! What do I have to do with my super huge fat spare time?

Maybe i should just have a date with my blog?? yes? hhe I need to keep myself busy =D

What am I going to write about? This is the spoiler...

this was what i saw once i got out from our truck (yes, we used truck, not car, kwkwk)

So, where did we go? please make sure you read my whole story,.. *bear my broken English, =p

My super hubby took me to go rafting in Pengalengan and IT'S JUST AMAZING. Actually I hesitated a bit because I was so insecure about water. I went rafting couple of times, but I had my own trauma. I almost lost my life because of the naughty water and shitty stream had a conspiracy to suck me. Until now, I still remember the incident as clear as crystal.

welcome

Pengalengan is such a great place to spoil your eyes, heart and body. From all the beautiful places so far that I have visited, Pengalengan ranks #1!! It's so heavenly gorgeous. You gotta go there guys. Trust me. Its nature, fresh air, beautiful scenery, pines, grass, lake, river, hills, rice fields, etc are totally gonna suck you in amazement. I am still starstruck. 

It takes 6 hours from Bintaro (STAN college) and its better if you use your own vehicle to go there. If you use public transportation, You need to take bus to Bandung first and continue the journey with smaller bus and ojek. I completely forget the direction to go there, =P Fortunately, I have a dependable husband that is so good in reading map and direction.

Reading map and direction are completely out of my league, not my forte. Nevertheless, we always can ask people everywhere about directions right? so no need to worry to travel alone. =D

warming up is so necessary

tents under beautiful trees

Craft Room

I recently bought a new sewing machine (Janome SUV 1122) and I'm planning to be a crafty person (My parents don't buy my intention, they just doubt it OF COURSE!! they know me the best =p).

The point is that I've never been a persistent and patient person, even my hubby didn't approve my wish to have a new sewing machine at first. but I have to get everything I want right? =p, so with a lil bit this and that I succeeded to make hubby buy the machine!! yay

I always imagine everything too much, well i am a quite imaginative person,. so, eventho our future house will not be built in the near future, but I've already have my dream craft room.

The yellow chair catches my attention

Storage

I like it

Love the blue wall and the storage

spacey and simple

white and baby blue => perfect

like it

need a large space

love the way she/he puts the sewing equipments on the wall

Intimate Space

I always want to have an intimate space to be all alone and where I can talk heart to heart with someone, especially my hubby. It is so difficult to talk to him and make him pay attention to me. He is always busy with his games and phone, -___-

maybe boys will always be boys, wont they?

I can imagine my self sitting here, drowning in my own imagination with a cup of coffee, while staring at the mellow rainy sky

I love white but I am too afraid of dirt, dust, etc

great idea, but it will take spaces

for a loner like me, =D

Cute Kitchens

Learning from my mom's kitchen, I think I will never ever make my future kitchen is separated from the main house. Why? because its just not practical... besides, I will find thousands of reasons for not cooking... =p

so, I've been searching from the internet for a while and find these cute kitchen's ideas

I loooveee this kitchen, simple and bright!! blue, white, creme/chocolate, the window and the door just blend together into perfection. Honeeyyy... please make this one for mee... >.<

I love the marmer desk. It will be so easy to clean the mess after we cook if use marmer. But you know what? Its hella expensive!

so in love with the window

another perfect window idea

not bad

looove it

i wonder how the bed room is smell when we cook ikan asin

love the blue color!

I want my future kitchen to be a special place to gather and welcome everyone, where we can talk about everything, create something, share ideas, etc...

or maybe I can see my hubby chat with our future kids while they're eating and I'm busy cooking and cleaning... hihi... amen...

Jalan-jalan ke Puwokerto dan Universitas Sudirman

Alhamdulillah kemarin diberi rezeki untuk jalan-jalan ke Purwokerto dan Alhamdulillahnya lagi si Bebi kesananya dibayarin sama kantor... eits... tp aku bayar sendiri loh yaa... cm hotelnya aja yang numpang =p

Jadi, BPKP kan ada program STAR dan SPIRIT yang bagi2 beasiswa buat PNS2, makanya bebi mau nyoba apply, kali aja keterima...aamiin... lagian kalau ga kuliah di universitas beneran, doi ga bakal niat buat belajar dan nyelesaiin skripsi.

nah.. gmn kesan tentang Purwokerto?

Kesan pertama adalah MURAH!!! sumpah ga kebayang banget makan ber 6 di Cafe cuma bayar 89.000!!!

Wow!! disana kami benar-benar berasa jadi orang kaya...

Kesan kedua adalah adem, tentram, bersih dan masih hijau. Fasilitas di Purwokerto pun sudah cukup lengkap, cuma sayang belum ada mall yang mentereng dan membahana untuk meredakan hawa nafsu belanja ibu2 seperti saya (*langsung dipelototin sama bebi)...  Eniwe di sana sedang dibangun Rita Supermall loh...

Kesan ketiga, pemandangan jalur keretanya ciamik banget... Subhanalloh... Alhamdulillah banget bisa menikmati pemandangan alam yang hijau dan cantik. T-T rasanya ga bosen liat ke jendela kereta...

Trus ngapain aja di Purwokerto?

hari pertama aku cuma tidur, makan, internetan, makan lagi dst... ga bisa kemana2 karena motor (hasil pinjam si Alan yang sedang kuliah di Unsud) dipakai sama bebi buat ujian... besoknya, kita baru jalan muter2 purwokerto dan ke Baturaden.

Pemandangannya not bad... cm kalah jauh kalau dibandingkan sama Pengalengan.

We had so much fun there. bisa ketemu teman2 lama, makan makanan enak, menikmati pemandangan Indah, murah pula...

Baturaden

Baturaden

makan sate kelinci sambil menikmati alam, alhamdulillah

Loja de Cafe

murah bgt!

Rekomendasi tempat makan : Loja de Cafe (Murah!!! dan enak)

Rekomendasi hotel: M Guest House Superior Room via agoda (Murah!! bersih + nasi gorengnya enak), cuma harus ada kendaraan pribadi kalau menginap disini yaa...

 

Compact House

hellooo this is my first post and it will be about compact house!! =D

Akhir2 ini, aku lagi hobi nyari design2 rumah compact, ternyata banyak yang lucu2 dan unik2. Rumah compact emang mulai booming di Jakarta. Terbukti beberapa kali NET TV sempat mengupas tuntas tentang rumah compact ini.

Kenapa mulai booming? Alasannya jelas, selain lahan yang makin minim, harga rumah di Jakarta dan sekitarnya memang sudah tidak masuk akal. Ukurannya pun sekuprit2. Kalau dibandingin sama rumah emak bapak di kampung mah rumah yang sanggup kami beli cuma seukuran ruang tamunya doang kali yaa...hehe

Eniwe, sampai sekarang aku dan suami masih aja galau n belum juga dapet rumah yang cocok (cocok di harga, ukuran, dan jarak ke kantor). Di saat anak2nya galau, parahnya orang tuaku malah ga nyuruh buat buru-buru beli rumah. Meanwhile, mertua nyuruhnya bangun rumah di samping rumah mereka aja. hihi... alhamdulillah orang tua dan mertua baik n murah hati bangettss....

sebenernya kami belum butuh-butuh amat untuk beli rumah baru karena kami sekarang sudah safe and sound tinggal di rumah mama Iik. Cuma, kalau kumpul sama temen2 atau tiba2 ada kolega yang nanya "rumahnya dimana?", rasanya jadi minder. biasanya si aku timpali aja sambil bercanda kalau kami tinggal di kosan, tp sejujurnya maluuuu... T-T

untuk menghemat budget, ahirnya kami menerima tawaran mertua untuk membangun rumah di Tangerang dengan ukuran tanah 6,5 x 10,5. Tanah tersebut hanya untuk membangun rumahnya saja, sedangkan halamannya gabung dengan halaman rumah papa dan ibu.

berdasar hasil-hasil browsing, berikut adalah salah satu rumah compact yang menurutku kece

I love all the aspects from the house. The cute plants, the simple design, yellow carpet, the bed room, the wooden thingy, the white and creme color, the ventilation, etc. This house is just perfectly made and it catches my kokoro (heart, =p). Minusnya cuma satu guys. Rumah itu kayaknya cuma cocok buat dibangun di Jepang. Kalo di Indonesia, aku uda ngebayangin pasti nanti bakalan banyak sarang laba2 bergelayutan di tiang-tiang kayunya and debu dimana2. huhuu... males dong ya kalo tiap minggu aku musti repot2 naik2 tangga untuk bersih2. T-T

but i loove the house soo much, and you know what?? its size is less than 100 m2!!!
