Why Did You Have To Go?

How far you wanna know How far you wanna go How far you made me smile You'll end up where you came The only thing I care How far you wanna know me?

I heard once in a while Some angels learn to fly Just let those feathers drop The way you let it stop The only thing I care How far you wanna know me?

Why did you have to go You should've let me know Last night I wrote a song for you Why did you have to go

Why did you have to go to go, to go go go Go before you wanna know Before you wanna go

Why Did You Have To Go by Elephant Kind.

- - -

A song that pretty much fit in me, a song that pretty much describe my current feeling, and probably, a song that will be repeated on my iPod for a couple of days.

Thank you, Bam Mastro and Elephant Kind for creating a song with so powerful yet meaningful lyrics in it.

“Go before you wanna know, before you wanna go.”

Taken with Yashica FX - 7 Super with Fujicolor Superia 200 Expired 2005. (And a little bit touch of Ps for the B&W.) in 2013.

Hello.

It’s been a long time since the last time I post and travel with my analog camera. Today is January 1st of 2016, the day when we started the new chapter in the new year. In this moment, I decided to turn this analog photoblog into my personal blog, where you can find stories, photographs, and unnecessary writings just to make myself relieved. Happy new year.

2016, please be awesome. x

The Great Escape III.

Last post of my short vacation to Jogjakarta.

- - -

Puri Ganesha Hotel, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia ||

We are so excited to go to Indrayanti beach. But..... First of all it is far away from the city and we only ride motorcycle. It take around 2 hours and I have to think twice. Second, it's hard to waking up my boyfriend so we decided to find the nearest beach which is Parang Tritis.

Done with Parang Tritis, we go back to our hotel then get ready for a dinner. Before that, we make another visit to Pasar Klithikan because I can't stand not to buy the other camera that took my attention since the first visit.

- - -

Dinner at Alun Alun Kidul.

I met one of my long lost bestfriend here! So happy I get to reunited with her. Let me introduce you, her name is Goretti. Friends with me since junior high.

and she brought her friend here, too.

Having chat for around and hour, then finally we heading back to our place. Preparing things to be packed because tomorrow is gonna be the last day before our departure back home.

- - -

Day 4, The Last Day.

Pasar Satwa Dan Taman Hias Yogyakarta. (PASTY)

Pasar Pasty, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia ||

Lots of cute creatures you can find there! Except for him! :D

Sardjito!

Ghama's favorite place to eat breakfast when he was in his short course at UGM. But we can't find his favorite food because it's Ramadhan season and most of them are closed. So we moved on to Plaza Ambarukmo to find foods. Sadly, our main plan of the day to pay a visit to Museum Affandi must be canceled. They closed the museum on Sunday. Boo! :(

- - -

TAMANSARI!

Finally, our very first destination since we've got here. But we're late so it's already closed..

Tamansari, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia ||

Done with Tamansari, we heading back to The Hotel to get ready for the Dinner. Visit Malioboro for a while to buy some clothes for Grandma, and we're ready to din din at a Rockabilly - themed cafe named Auto 66 Cafe and Resto.

Auto 66 Cafe & Resto, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia ||

Finally we ended the night and get ready for super early train tomorrow morning. I had fun with my friends and boyfriend there, despite the fact mostly I captured my boyfriend only.

I'm not good at writing but hopefully those photographs help.

After done unpacking things, we're up for a dinner for breakfasting.

My boyfriend took me to have a dinner at BIG BURGER accross Mal Galeria.

Blurred burger. :/

So happy to see them again, despite the food are not as yummy as we expected but that's okay. :)

Last destination of the day is Pasar Klithikan. We found some old fancy cameras and bring home some of them.

Then last we ate a super late dinner near the hotel and sleep.

DAY 2.

We woke up a bit late and the Sun is almost go down, we're rushing to the first destination of the day.

A visit to Gembira Loka Zoo!

Yay! Finally! I've been wanting a zoo date since months ago.

(The others are not interesting in coming with us to the zoo.)

Where are we headed to, honey?

.......

....

Now, let's switch off to color films. ;)

Aren't they just cute? I don't take much photographs at the Zoo. They took my attention.

Aw! Sleepy much?

Gembira Loka Zoo, Yogyakarta, Central Java, Indonesia ||

Done with the Zoo date, we're heading off to Malioboro to eat some dinner at eat fancy gelato at Artemy Gelato.

- - -

Meanwhile, we book our ticket back home to Jakarta, but we can't get the ticket for Sunday. With a heavy heart, we confirmed our depature back to Jakarta tomorrow. I feel sad and angry but I can do nothing.

I am mad.

We go back to the hotel and ready for packing. But suddenly Ghama came up with the idea of going back on Monday morning. Woohoo! I feel so happy, so we postponed our departure back.

- - -

Finished with the ticketing issue, we go to Malioboro to enjoying the night at Oxen Free. It's a bar, and for the very first time Ghama take me to a candle light dinner - themed bar. I am soooo happy! :D

Having just a simple little talks with him for hours then we're head back to the hotel.

To be continued.

One Fine Sunday Morning with INDOBARIAN & Workout Embassy.

Last Sunday, 27/4 I got a chance to do interview with Indonesia's Street Workout community, INDOBARIAN.

This interview basically used for my group Audio Visual's uni mid term examination.

What is INDOBARIAN? It is a street workout calisthenics community which currently based in Jakarta. They usually gathered as one to do some exercises together using bar as their media which available at Gelora Bung Karno's sixth gate.

and then...

What is Workout Embassy? It is a community who's having the initiative to help cleaning up the city, somehow it's like a community service. Which.. it's members come from athletes in Indonesia gathered as one.

You can check the result for my group's Audio Visual mid term project, here.

Meanwhile, I took some photographs during the day.

Verdy Bhawanta | Founder of INDOBARIAN

The fellow editor and producer, Lingga Dwiani and Ega Mawardani.

Adhit Lesmana | One of INDOBARIAN's members & founder of Workout Embassy.

Delima Panggabean is our fellow script writer who was standing behind Adhit to hold the mic.

Nyoman Yussapatusama | Co-founder of INDOBARIAN

Gadis Ghalia, our fellow cameraman.

It was nice to join INDOBARIAN & Workout Embassy the whole Morning. Aside from knowing this community, we also know that there's always another side of Jakarta which can help us to be more productive each day.

Big thanks to INDOBARIAN and Workout Embassy for helping us.
