"Ngapain ke Madura?"

"Ngapain ke Madura? Ada apa disana?"
Selalu itu yang ditanyakan beberapa teman tiap kali saya bilang mau jalan ke Madura.
"Loh memangnya kenapa? ada yg salah dengan Madura?"

Rupanya image orang2 Madura yg kasar dan tidak berpendidikan (maaf) masih sangat melekat di sebagian besar benak teman2 saya.
Kenyataannya yg saya temui tidak demikian. Mereka sangat ramah, sopan dan kebaikannya murni tulus tidak dibuat-buat.

Karena kebaikan sebuah keluarga di Pamekasan saat menjelang nonton Karapan Sapi, Ruth yg cidera mata kakinya bisa diurut sampai bengkaknya memudar, dan kamipun dijamu dengan penganan-penganan khas Madura.
Pun setiap orang yg kami tanyakan sangat santun menjawab setiap pertanyaan kami.

Sayang, waktu Sabtu-Minggu tidak cukup untuk meng-explore seluruh sudut Madura. Tak sempat mengunjungi Tambak Garam Kalianget dan melihat ke-khasan Pohon Cemara Udang di salah satu pantai tersohor di Madura...

Meski begitu, pengalaman ini luarbiasa menakjubkan....

Feel the love in the air?

This is a poem, but I'm no poet.



My happiness is built on sand.
It is easily swept away by wave and drowned, but to build it again and again need no hardwork.

My love is made of marmelade jam, sweet-sour-bitter taste it is, not a fancy of every child.

My heart is solid rock, strong and powerful yet expensive.

But my life is merely mine, for The Lord has the whole me......

My Paragliding experience in Timbis.AVI

Paragliding in Timbis, Nusa Dua, Bali

muke boleh bonyok-bonyok, tapi hati senang luar biasa....
Timbis, impian berbulan2 utk bisa terbang diatas sana, akhirnya kesampaian.... Sayang ga semua orang tau Timbis itu dimana, dan jalanannya pun rusak parah plus ga ada penunjuk jalan. Walhasil, nyasar2 ke villa2 orang dan masuk semak belukar.
Setelah dikirim penunjuk jalan oleh Pak Ketut Manda, barulah bisa 'on track'

Timbis, sejuta pesona, melayang di udara diatas tebing dengan pesona luar biasa..
Take Off di bibir tebing yg bikin deg2an, sampe sendal lepas, haha, dan landing yang masih kebawa2 angin...

Timbis, oh, Timbis.....
I love you... I love the blue of Indonesia.....

Brazilian Wax - scary, but addictive :D (note: for girls only)

Ini kata Mbah Google:

Brazilian bikini waxes were introduced to New York in 1987 by seven Brazilian-born sisters and remains a popular hair removal method in the US.

The "Brazilian" differs from a regular bikini wax because hair is removed in the front, back and everything in between. Most of the time a "landing strip" is left in the front, but some clients opt for everything removed.

Well, if u asked 'Have I tried it?' The answer is YES, many times :D

I first tried to have a bikini wax 2 years ago, but it was not a successful one. I was kinda traumatized. But then 6 months later, a friend brought me to a different place and surprisingly, I had no pain at all after having it done. So, I decided to regularly come to this place.

So, do I like the results? Yes, I do. A lot!!!

From my personal experience, yes it hurts but it feels and looks so clean and nice after that, some places hurt more then others. At times you will think ow f**k and others you will be like 'did u even wax then?'

Pain killers would be a waste of time and money. The best advise is just relax and take a deep breath. Although I've done it a couple of times, doesn't mean that I don't feel the pain anymore. But It's worth it. Trust me.

The person doing it (the waxer) will apply the same wax they use for places like face/underarms because it is better for sensitive areas. They will apply the wax and then wait for it to dry then rip it off against the grain. If they use wax and then put a strip over it then they are not using the right wax for that area of the body. Strip wax is for the legs and arms.

I think the waxer ladies in my country are awesome. They patiently do their things as if they do a facial to my genital (ouch) .... I sometimes amazed how 'generous' they can be, that they don't seem to be awkward with what they do. Big applause for them.

But I wonder, have any guy friends of mine ever done it too?

PS: This blog supposed to give knowledge to girls, but how come only men (and no women) give comments here?
