interesting people in Indon



Still on Indon trip.

Met few interesting people along the way.

In Semarang, I met an interesting cab driver. I'm sorry I forgot his name.
A little different about him was that he insisted to be paid in Malaysia Ringgit. We had problem initially because we don't have enough change. But he said that he is collecting foreign currencies and he did not mind paying with Malaysian Ringgit.


Then we met with Ibu Karsila, a batik painter.
She learned how to paint batik since she was 11 years old. and has been doing it till forever. She is a very friendly lady. I recorded our conversation as if I was a reporter. She asked;
"Are you really a reporter? Will this be aired in Malaysia TV?"
I giggled and replied
" Nope, you will be in YouTube!"

Kak Nana helped her with the explanation. She seemed not to understand in the beginning.


The most interesting people I met in this trip will be non other then Pak Suwardi.
He is a tourist guide in Keraton castle. 

He was this very humble person, very interesting way of telling us the history of Keraton, friendly and funny! He too is our best photo-choreographer. He knows the best angle in most of our photoshoot.


But behind his brightest smile, hidden an unbelievable story.
He was a Raten.
In Jogja, whoever hold a Raten means that they are blue-blood. He was one of the descendent of Jogja's royalty. Keturunan Raja..

In Jogja, the first son is the King. other siblings will be treated as commoners. They don't wear much jewelry like the king. they don't have the position in the castle. Pak Suwardi is one of the descendent from the previous king.

Surprise enough, when asked about his job, he humbly replied,

"i don't have a high education, I work as the king's slave. I usually will be called by the king if there is royal event. I won't get paid because I am a slave. But I believe the reward is from Allah. It is enough I have a home to stay here in Keraton."

But he has royal blood.

He is so nice and we all like him so much. We enjoy Keraton visit so much because of him


but still the highlight of the trip will still be taking picture with Jason Lo and Idham Omar

Very respectful sir. Despite being a CEO but you guys are still rock.
Jason Lo!!! I finally able to meet you!!! and you are as cute as in TV.



Indon trip was awesome meeting these people. Hope to meet more interesting people on the next trip.

skodeing.... Having a crush on somebody is just another way of saying that you like somebody a little more than the average Joe. Most people will admit to having crushes on a famous athlete or a gorgeous celebrity, but sometimes we start to have crushes on people who are around us every day. here are some ways to know that you are crushing on somebody? 1)You go out of your way to see or hang out with that person. Maybe you have a crush on that cute waitress at the coffee shop and you go out of your way about fifteen miles everyday just to have coffee at that specific location despite the fact that there is another similar coffee shop minutes away from your front door. It is safe to say you have a crush. Naturally, when you start to like somebody, you want to see them all of the time for that happy feeling you get when you’re around them. 2)You are starting to worry more about your appearance . Yesterday your idea of a “going out” outfit was your sweat pants with the hole on the knee

Bleach Frenzy

While admiring the newest character in Bleach, Shukuro Tsukishima, suddenly had an idea. What if Bleach turns into live action movie or drama, who should be in the cast? After a very intensive and long hours research, I came out with this list. Unfortunately, i can only able to come out with some of the characters. It was a very tough decision indeed. 1) Kurosaki Ichigo I couldn't find any Japanese actor that can fit for Ichigo. Well, most of them think that Ikuta Toma may have a chance for it but, errr he is not quite really. None. That's final. they may need to use CGI for Ichigo's character. He is so perfect in the manga and anime!! Ichigo has a very serious face but Toma-kun looks cute. So I don't think he is suitable to be Ichigo. 2) Inoue Orihime - Triendl Reina Initially i was thinking of the sweet haruka ayase or ayumi hamazaki. But suddenly, while browsing, i came across Triendl Reina!!. I remembered her as a guest in Janiben (kanjani8's show). She is sweet
