Bali never ending

Bali never ending.. 
Yup, bout 2 weeks ago with my friends (Yugo, Kris, Dwi, Ribka and Ummu) explored some places there in 2 days. For Yugo and Kris , were their first time visiting Bali.
In the first day, we woke up early, having breakfast in Motel than at 8AM we started the trip. Visiting relates to met them for couple minutes in Denpasar, had lines in Pia Legong (the famous Pia there). We got 3 packs for each person  without any request before (go show it's allowed). Some articles said that "we have to made a request about 2 weeks before, to get the pia", but we didn't.
After having lines bout 10 minutes there, we drove to Garuda Wisnu Kencana. Place where we found some huge statutes of the Garuda Wisnu Kencana and watched bali traditional dance in the amphitheater. 





Next destination, Pura Uluwatu. The sun smiled brightly a lot there. The skies was blue, the sea-ocean was very blue clearly, and the leaves is green. What a great landscape! "Please take some photos of me!" I asked Yugo. Wearing sarong is a must if you visit there when u wear short skirt/pants. Mmmmm, I love the sarong which has same color with the bougenville purple flower there. 


Near from Uluwatu, there is a beach "Blue point" where we found many surfers on the their surfer board against the waves. We took some photos there, but we didn't touch the clearly water there because we were too tired taking the stairs down (up also) and we wanted to having seafood for lunch at Jimbaran immidietly.  After lunch, we visited Tanah Lot to saw sunset there. What a beautiful scenery! It's gold.

Having balinese friend is the best. Karin and her family, our baliness friend invited us to had a dinner in her home. The family deserved us some of bali traditional snacks and delicious food (sate lilit, ayam betutu, sambal matah, bali vegetables cooked). Talked more, laughed more and ate more. Love the dinner a lot!

The next day, we made up our mind to have a shopping vacation at Sukowati, than continue to Kintamani and Bedugul. We planned to had to arrive at Denpasar before 6 PM because we have to attending Tude's wedding there at 7 PM. We arrived at Sukowati  at 9AM,  shopped an hour there. We drove to Kintamani, the weather was cool, the air was very fresh, the wind blowed. Wemsaw mt. Batur clearly. Of course we took some picture before leaving to Bedugul. On the way to Bedugul we saw many attractive landscapes. Yellow flower field stopped the girls to took picture. 

After more than an hour, after asked the direction to Bedugul to the local people. Finally We arrived at Bedugul. The lake, the Pura and the weather made us stayed longer than the other place we've visited before. But we could catch Denpasar up at 5 PM. After had a rest in motel for an hour, we prepared to attending Tude's wedding. Wedding is the place where everyone meet relates or friends, we did. 
It was our last night in Bali. We went to Kuta, people said "Bali is Kuta". We sat on the sand , heard the waves, and walked along the Kuta street.
Hard to ended the holiday, but we had to take our flight tomorrow.
I've had more new experiences with my friends there. Wanna have another experience holiday with them! See ya in another trip mates!

Beckham, my young-life idol

     
Pagi hari, Jumat, 17 Mei 2013 saat membaca tautan account Facebook David Beckham di atas tentang pengunduran dirinya dari  sepak bola agak mengejutkan, yang terlintas dipikiran "yah emang udah saatnya, mengigat usianya yg pada tanggal 2 Mei lalu adalah 38 tahun". Tapi begitu menonton TV  seputar kabar pensiunnya doi, membuat sedih, apalagi video saat doi masih muda berseragam Manchester United.
Inget saat masih duduk di bangku SMP, mulai mengandrungi doi karena disponsori oleh kakak yang lebih dulu ngefans ma doi.  Jadilah tiap akhir minggu pantengin SCTV (saat itu saluran TV yg menyiarkan Liga Primer). Menyibukkan diri untuk kliping artikel-artikel dan foto-foto tentang doi, mulai dari koran kelas lampu merah sampai majalah kelas gramedia kl ada artikel atau foto tentang dia langsung nyari dan beli.
Pas di SMA kelas 2 jadi bahan ceng2an teman-teman karena tim "the tree lions" kalah dari Brazil di perempatfinal (kl gk salah) Piala Dunia 2002. Maklum, saat itu doi adalah kapten timnas Inggris. Saat itu rajin bgt nempelin foto-foto doi di depan jendela kelas biar murid-murid yang lain bisa cuci mata. *alasanbgt
Doi bersama Naville bersaudara (Gary is his best hommie), Nicky Butt, Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes, dan beberapa pemain lainnya disebut sebagai generasi emas MU yang tergabung dalam angkatan 92 (Class of 92). Kenapa generasi emas? Yup, karena berhasil membawa MU menjadi juara Liga Primer, Piala FA, dan Liga Champion (Treble Winners) di tahun 1999. Masih jelas saat itu jersey MU tertulis SHARP (sama seperti yang tertulis di TV dan Refrigerator), saat itu saya menyangka bahwa MU itu adalah milik SHARP atau SHARP adalah miliknya MU. Tapi ternyata .....…........… ckckck.


Sampai akhirnya doi hengkang dr Old Trafford ke Santiago Barnabéu, berita dan artikel karir sepak bola seputar doi mulai meredup apalagi setelah doi hengkang ke LA Galaxy, namun artikel dan berita ttg fashion, menjadi model, gaya hidup, dan persahabatannya dgn artis hollywood (Tom Cruise) semakin besar.
Tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwa gaya rambut, gaya berpakaian, dan sifat family man-nya banyak diikuti para pria dan menjadi alasan kenapa doi banyak digandrungi kaum hawa. Bagi saya, senyuman manisnya -------- ahhhhh... meluluhkan hati. :)

                    
Sifat dermawannya juga perlu diacungi jempol, setelah hengkang ke PSG (Paris Saint Germain) pada Januari 2013 dengan kontrak 6 bulan tanpa menerima sepeser gaji, karena gaji doi selama 6 bulan di PSG didonasikan untuk panti asuhan di Paris.
Sebagai catatan, kabarnya Beckham menjadi satu-satunya pemain Inggris yang berhasil menjuarai 4 liga di 4 liga berbeda ( Liga Inggris, Liga Spanyol, Liga Amerika dan Liga Prancis).

Gudluck Becks! By the way, I love ur short film commercial with H&M.
