Batik * Black and White

One, two, three oh no but four months I've almost forgot to write something in my blog. Everyday I feel so tired after finishing my longshift schedule. I prefer to sleep than do anything. Xoxo.. But today is my day to kill my laziness. Honestly, I took this pictures several days ago. I love this batik dress so much, because it is sewn by my mother. I always miss her when wearing this dress..

Dimas Diajeng * Batik Day

Batik * Ied Mubarak

Yeah, finally fasting month was over approximately one week ago. During Ramadhan, as a Muslim, I was prohibited from eating and drinking from dawn to sunset. But by fasting i learned a lot that i have to sympathize with those less fortunate ones who do not always have food and drink readily available. Another lesson was that i have to control desires such as hungry, thirsty, and a-n-g-e-r (the most difficult to be done). Xoxo... Then, after fasting for one month, I was  absolutely happy meeting Ied Mubarak 1432 H. Happy gathering with my all relatives. They're from Makasar, from Jakarta, and sure, from Yogyakarta coming and staying at my home. Just let's welcome the guests wholeheartedly. Anyway, that was the best moment to request forgiveness each other for our mistake throughout the year. Not only with our family members, but  also with our friends and our neighbours whoever they are...^_^

Batik * Tamansari Watercastle

Long time ago, Tamansari Watercastle was a recreation garden or a resting house for Sultan and his family. Not only just a recreation, but it's also a compound of bathing pool, canals, rooms and large swimming pool. Built by Portuguese architect in European aquatic construction, Tamansari’s also adorned with Javanese symbolize ornaments. From Tamansari, we can go upstair and see the beautiful scenery of Yogyakarta. Oh, last week I came here to take a lot of photos. Xoxo.. How narcissistic I am. I wore my batik skirt that I ever wore before. I really love this batik so much. That’s why I couldn't stop myself taking photos. Click click...

Batik * Skinny Jeans

Indonesia has a great inspiration woman known Raden Ajeng Kartini. And every April 21, we celebrate Kartini’s day. It’s dedicated to Kartini who has a brave. She fight to win her equality with men. Live in 19th century, she was the daughter of Assistant of Head of Regency who was also the descendant of a noble family. During that period, access to higher level of education was restricted for women. They weren’t allowed to go out until married, so they just stayed at home. But Kartini spent her time by reading books. Then she wrote a book too, “Habis Gelap, Terbitlah Terang (After Dark, There is A Light)”. Using her knowledge and creative thought she was able to establish a school on the backyard of city hall for local people. Shorthly, that’s why Kartini become a pioneer of women’s emancipation.

I get loads of lessons from her. Maybe I can apply some of it by studying hard. Xoxo. Actually, after doing my job in the afternoon I have to go to the language course immediately. Sometimes I stop by in the park to read dictionary. And now, this is what I wear under the tree. I think, batik dress combined with skinny jeans is so nice. Great day, yay!

Batik * Krakal & Sadranan Beach

Second day, my boyfriend and I visited Krakal and Sadranan Beach. The views are very very exotic. Krakal has scratching white hill with blue slopes gently to the sea. The beauty of green lime-scratching hill with blue seawater offers a perfect harmony, which is very natural and ideal for sun bathing. Well... maybe Krakal is bigger than Sadranan, but Sadranan is the most special for me. Because Sadranan is like private beach. So quiet. Arrrghh, I didnt want to go from here. Oh, that day I wore my new batik dress. This is what I wore^_^

Prambanan Temple ( Love Story )

Last Sunday, I spend my weekend to Prambanan Temple. Prambanan temple is extraordinarily beautiful building constructed in the tenth century during the reigns of two kings namely Rakai Pikatan and Rakai Balitung. Historians suggested that the construction of Prambanan probably was meant to mark the return of Hindu Sanjaya dynasty to power after almost a century fell under Buddhist Sailendra domination on Central Java. Prambanan temple has three main temples in the primary yard, namely Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva temples. Those three temples are symbols of Trimurti in Hindu belief. Brahma the Creator, Vishnu the Keeper and Shiva the Destroyer. But that day, I just took a walk in Wisnu (Vishnu) Area. I was wearing black and white blouse with a black slayer and necklace also adorned my neck. My necklace has long chain with a medalllion of wayang prominent figure. Wayang is one of the heritage in this country, so I really like this necklace. And oh, there is a legend that Javanese people always tell about this temple. As the story tells, there was a man named Bandung Bondowoso who loved Roro Jonggrang. To refuse his love, Jonggrang asked Bondowoso to make her a temple with 1,000 statues only in one-night time. The request was nearly fulfilled when Jonggrang asked the villagers to pound rice and to set a fire in order to look like morning had broken. Feeling to be cheated, Bondowoso who only completed 999 statues cursed Jonggrang to be the thousandth statue.

Dangerous Time! Save Our Earth!

Actually, I do really want to visit Kaliadem which is cool and has a beautiful scenery. So, I can forget my boring days because my boyfriend still works out of town. But, as we know, Merapi Volcano isn’t in good situation and could be explode again anytime, I decide not to go to the north side. Hmmm, finally I just enjoy my whole time in my home sweet home. I feed the deer around my house. It's better than do nothing, right? LOL

.

I love my home so much. Yep, my house is small but it is surrounded by a big yard. I’m very happy walking around my house. I can see a lot of trees without any pollution. Because I just stay in my house, it's pretty enough to wear a simple T-shirt that has the writing in front of it made by patchwork batik. Jogja’s teenagers are really creative, aren’t they? They create eco-friendly clothes using batik waste. How cool...
