Rest In Peace : Our Best Dog !

Loly has passed away several years ago. Thousands of wonderful memories had we spent together. I still remember how these two puppies came to my house. But today we should hardly let Princess, Loly's sister to rest in peace. This post is written one day prior before her death. Maybe you could laugh at me when you read this post. Indeed, it really hard for me to giving up their death.

I still remember clearly how our story begins. Our grandmother sent us (my sister and I ) a birthday present. It was wrapped with a huge cardboard. I was 4 years old and my sister was only 7 years old if I didn't mistaken. When we open our birthday present we realized that inside that huge box there were two little black puppies. We were really happy to see those two puppies. Those two puppies are sisters,but they never got along. We usually got into a trouble when they got in a fight. It was so difficult to compose them both. Until one afternoon, they got in a furious fight. They sound cruel and bite each other. We tried to separate them by using broom and flush them with water but it was useless. For several minutes they continue to fight, my sister has been very hysterical to see them both fighting. Princess won the fight, Loly ran away and hide in the bushes. We found Loly bleed while she was hiding in the bushes in front of my sister's room. We tried to help her but it was too late. She died.

After several years of her death, we notice that Princess's bust that there were sort of injury arising. The bump get bigger and bigger so we brought her to animal hospital in Surabaya. The doctor said that she was contracted breast tumor. We were sad to hear that, the doctor said that let the tumor alone first. Her condition get worse and worse since the tumor get bigger and bigger. Last time, the bump has reached the size of an adult fist and bleed. We brought her to the hospital again and planned to help her death. But the doctor said that just let her live or just bring her to another hospital because the doctor was no longer able to handle it.

Today, the bump bleed again. My sister became really panic and brought her to the hospital that known as the best animal hospital in Surabaya. I believe that the doctors there are better than the previous one. When my sister arrived at the hospital the doctors suggest us to remove the tumor by an operation. But, when they check my Princess's blood they found that there are cancer found. So the doctor suggest to help her die because it's impossible to cure her with her tumor and cancer. This post was made to honor and remember my dog. My dog will always be in our heart. Them both has contributed well as a part of our family. They never be bored to keep the house safe when we are going out, they never fussy about what they eat like the other dogs in general, they always help to keep the mouses, cats, and even lizard stay away from our house. Even though, they usually barged into the house there are much more happy memories about them that will always still in our heart because dog is a man's best friend. Good bye my dog, I wish you will be happier up there.

Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia

General Information :

Kuta Beach is one of the most popular beaches in Indonesia, especially in Bali. Kuta is famous within local and international tourists for its wonderful sunset and its hot climate that really fit for those who craving to be having a tan skin. For me, this beach is a must visit beach if you have a chance to visit Bali. I guarantee that Bali is wonderful. Many people love to visit Bali. In addition to the beauty of the sunset, this beach also offer the tourist to enjoy other activities that majority is managed by the local community. They are offering the tourist to enjoy the beach by doing water sport. Generally, the water sport they offer is surfing, parasailing, and banana boat. On this beach you also will find local people who offering for your hair plaited, ask you to make a temporary tattoo,offer you something to drink or even renting umbrellas to tourist. These local people usually gonna offer those service for a certain price. But the price isn't a nett price. Sometimes you could bargain the price because sometimes there are some merchants who offer high price to the tourists.


My Story :

As I had told you before that these local people is quite friendly. When I visited Bali, I went to Kuta beach. When I was waiting for the sunset, I was looking for some photos on the beach. While I was taking some photos, suddenly there was a man who talked to me. He asked where do I come from. After we had a short conversation, he started to suggest me some place to visit in Bali. I found that those information that I got from that man is really turns helpful. But the most interesting part of this beach is its enterance gate. The enterance gate is exotic. With the ornaments on it, it separates the crowd of the town with the joy of the warm beach. I stayed right on the beach til the sunset.

Tips:


1.Do not forget to use your cream. It might be sunblock or even cream that help your skin become tan. The main thing is to keep your skin keep healthy and doesn't get burned.

2. I do not recommend you to bring your private car as the parking lot isn't broad enough/

Rating :

Fair
This beach offer you a lot of fun. White sand, great water sport, and beautiful sunset is a great package of happiness. But really have to improve this beach cleanliness. But I believe that cleanliness can only be obtained if the tourist and local people help the government by keeping this beach clean.

Introduction to Bali

I'd have to say Bali's my favorite place that I've visited.

-Christopher Meloni



Bali has become one of the most famous attraction in the world. Bali has attracted millions of tourist to come and feel its exoticism. Many of the tourist feel satisfied and becoming Bali as their favorite place. 

Actually Bali is the smallest province in Indonesia with 4.22 million population. Majority of their citizens are really friendly. They are really "open" to foreign cultures, while still keeping their original cultures. As a result, this province is known for its artwork such as traditional dance, sculpture, and also musics. 

You still haven't come to Bali if you haven't come to its beachFor me the most special thing about Bali is its beach. The heat of the sun is really right for sunbathing. The sand is quite warm. Attract you to take off your footwear and enjoy the warmth of the sand. The waves on the edge of the beach swash gently. But after you go several feet, it will be suitable for surfing. At dusk, enjoy the sun set. Bali is really suitable for a brief rest. 

The people is also friendly. You gonna find people who will try to communicate with you. In Indonesia it is strange if a strangers attempt to talk with you. But it is an exception in Bali. In another word, Bali is a heaven for thousands of people.

The Living Water

Woops,
Hey dudes!
yaaa, today I'm coming in a different day than I should be.
I also didn't keep my promise last week.
I am really sorry for it.
I am really busy with my school final exams. Last week, I thought that I gonna finished my test as soon as possible. But I was wrong, I have to face my final exam this week. So I apology that I don't have much time to write. I hope you gonna understand.

Today, I am taking some of my time to write and tell you a story of mine.Actually, this is isn't an tourist attraction. I just wanna share you some of my experience while travelling and photographing landscapes. I hope you gonna learn something in the end of this story.Exactly, this story happened two years ago. I was in my first year of senior high school. At that time, I was not be allowed to drive because I should be seventeen years old to get my driving license. So a driver will deliver me wherever I wanna go. Of course with my parents permission. When we were going around a town we were got into a street that has markets on its roadside. The road called "Banyu Urip" or in English called Living Water. Along that road there are many semi-permanent buildings but it doesn't rule out possibility that there also exist a beautiful, big houses. Okay, houses in this street isn't too caught my eyes. But there is something that really draw my attention. In a vacant lot bounded by tarpaulins there lived a old, withered tree. I found that it was cool. I was determined to took its picture once I come back there. So here it is ! 

Weathered Tree, Surabaya, Indonesia

So, from this story we can learn that, even a old tree could be a "hook" for our inspiration. Although, it isn't looks important, it could have another meaning behind it. Of course, when you pack it with an interesting idea. Unfortunately, you couldn't find this weathered anymore as it has been cut down in rainy season to avoid it fall into the street.

My Mandarin Assignment

Happy Thursday everyone !

Thank you for all of my reader who have waited for my recent post.

Two weeks ago, my teacher told me to do an assignment in purpose to add some score in Mandarin subject. And I easily undertook that assignment. On the same time, I just realized that I am going to face my midterm test soon. Oh my God ! She asked me to make a poster that contained a Bible Verse that should be in Mandarin. It was an easy assignment for me. But I really didn't have time if I have to do it during my midterm test. But luckily the deadline of this assignment was still far away so that I could focused on my midterm test first then proceed to my assignment.

On the next Monday, after went home from school I determined to finish my work. That day was last day of the test. So I really be aware of the lazy air strike. Lol. That day the weather was quite windy. But I really wondered if that evening the sunset will be appear and drowned into the sky beautifully so that I could use it for my assignment's background. I've to defeat my laziness and went up to my house attic and braved the rigors of wind. But the sunset isn't as I desired. It was so disappointing.

However a good photographer will produce a satisfactory results in any condition. I believe that the statement is really true. "Even though the weather and the mood wasn't support me at all, I'll make something special today" that words motivated me when took the picture that day. So I took some photos and process it as my teacher expected.

My Mandarin Assignment

And today, I've submitted my work and my teacher feel quite satisfied with my work. Yay! Victory! Hahaha

The Buried Treasure

Two letters that describe something extraordinary. It is zoo, consist of two letters z and o. In many countries zoo become a great place to visit.Similar situation also happened in my town, the zoo has become one of the best sightseeing in the town. The zoo in my town is the biggest zoo in Asia.

Yeaaaa, it's Surabaya Zoo !

Even though Surabaya Zoo is the biggest zoo in Asia unfortunately the treatment to the animal at the zoo is very bad. Sometimes they don't get enough food to eat and also live in an unhealthy environment. 

Already one year after my latest visit to the Surabaya Zoo. And recently I heard about a petition to close the Surabaya zoo due giving a better life for the animal in the zoo. And now I'm really confuse. Do I have to help them close the zoo by giving my voice to the petition or keep support the government and the zoo to keep their existence.

To sign the petition, just click here

So, The picture below shows a hidden treasure in Surabaya Zoo. So please be wise, think twice before sign the petition. Maybe there is still another way to improve Surabaya Zoo.
