OOT: Drugs...

Its like aliens taking control your whole body, your mind.

Can’t hardly see the real person with drugs, him/her is not himself/herself. I don’t think they see you as you are anymore, they dont feel love and care anymore, all they care about is how to get himself/herself more drugs...

Some people managed to get the alien out of them and get a better life, some get a better life for a while before ending up getting really sick. Some just have the alien stuck in their body and mind and die with them...  Can those people, the users choose which one?  Can their family help them to choose?

People said self-will helps a lot to kick out the alien and keep them away, but how to motivate their self-will??? Miracle???

Holidays Second destination Jogjakarta 28 - 29 Oct 2007




Soooo… finally arrived in Jogja after bus to solo then to jogja, 23.30 we arrived, our friend Agam picked us up and took us to Delta hotel click here to see the room and rate: http://www.yogyes.com/en/yogyakarta-hotel/budget/delta-homestay nice budget place with swimming pool though I didn’t have time to swim :( too lazy to wake up early on my holiday :P Agam said prawirotaman area where the hotel is like jaksa in Jakarta, but its much nicer and cheaper I would say.

Went to have kopi jos, typically jogja coffee, after late checked in at the hotel. Would have been much better coffee with less sugar!! It was too sweet, Javanese style… Have been having coffee with lil sugar even without sugar lately so when I had too much sugar in my coffee I could hardly taste the coffee… Catched up a bit with agam there then we went back to hotel and sleep.

The next day, woke up shower time then time to go to Borobudur, we got there at 11.00hr damn it was HOT!!!!!! Left Borobudur and go back to town for lunch… Gudeg jogja!!! Hhuuuhhhhh yummy, so different with gudeg I sometimes have in Jakarta.

After late lunch, we continued our trip to Tamansari, finally I’ve been there!!!:) Then the guide took us to hidden mosque? Around there…. Before Tamansari we stopped by the park behind the Keraton (kingdom palace) where there is 2 big Beringin tree in the middle and people said if you could walk through the middle of the tree with your eyes closed you will have your wish come true. Sounds easy to walk straight with your eyes closed???? Sounds easy for me but I couldn’t make when I tried 10 years ago. But I didn’t try again, only Aline did, in the middle of the rain with orange umbrella, she could have made it…. Almost!!!! Next time…

That’s all about Jogja guys!!!! We ended up our trip at Via-via cafĂ© for some drinks in Prawirotaman street before we went to the airport for Bali!!!!!

Holidays First destination Karimun Jawa - 27-28 Oct 07




Before I slept all the way to Semarang by train Friday nite at 19.00hr, the last time I woke up was Thursday morning = been having my eyes open for almost 36hrs!!!!!
Had Hoka2 Bento for dinner in the train (thanks to thoughtful and sweet Ms. T) then ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz like a dead man till we arrive in Semarang train station, waken up by the guy who screaming that we arrive in Semarang and he took the blanket!!!

Anyways.. that was how I started my holidays…

Arrived at Semarang train station at 4am, stayed at the train station had pop mie for breakfast then went to the Tanjung Mas port to take Kartini fast boat to Karimun Jawa. We left to Karimun at 9am and arrive there at 12.30, lunch time, great food!!! We stayed at Wisma Apung. So far we've been through 4 kind of transportation, the train, the becak, the speed boat and the fishin boat... :P

After lunch and some coffee, we went to Menjangan Besar island. Nice island BUT could have been more beautiful without the trash!! And the water on the sunset side was awful, looked like polluted by the shampoo, washing water… I didn’t go to cemara island unfortunately…

Back to wisma apung after sunset shower time then dinner, hhmm nasi uduk and grilled fish with sambal!!! Yummy yummy yummy…. Couldn’t have holidays without beer!!! Hahahaha was having some beer under full moon across where we were the wisma apung’s terrace with sea as your garden :)

The next day, we went to Menjangan Kecil island after breakfast. Beautiful little resort island (10 rooms only, 5 bungalow). We have to pay Rp. 10.000 to get in the island. My camera battery was empty :( didn’t take some picture of the island. I’ll probably take some pics from Ms. T and Ms. A to add it here.

Back to for lunch and prepare to leave, the boat leave to Semarang Tanjung mas port at 14.00 and we arrived in Semarang at 18.00hr. Sooo we missed the joglosemar shuttle bus we booked at 18.00hr and the next bus at 19.00hr was full :( But luckily we met nice and helpful couple from Jogja who went to karimun to who informed us how to get to Jogja by the public bus and we arrived in Jogja at 23.30hr.. Thanks guys!!!
