Yogyakarta! Visit Goa Pindul!


Happy New Year 2015! God bless thru out this year!

So, December 2014 were days off for me. I was absent 1 week for bed rest at home. Then I took 25-28 December leave for Christmas. And at last, office was close from 1-4 January due to New Year holidays. What a month for me!

Our plan going to Gunung Kidul to visit my relatives on Christmas holidays was failed. Mom, sister, and I only made 1 day trip to Yogyakarta. We had lunch and watched “Night at the Museum 3: Secret of the Tomb” in cinema.

It’s mom who was not satisfied. So, on my New Year holidays, we determined to make trip to Gunung Kidul, Wonosari, Yogyakarta. Just me and mom with so limited budget, hahaha!

So, we departed on January 2, Friday on 5.30 a.m. by bus at Rp 35.000,-. We reached Giwangan bus station, Yogyakarta at 9.30 a.m. Then continued taking bus to Wonosari at Rp 15.000,-. We stopped at Nggrogol at 11.30 a.m. and took motorcycles at Rp 15.000,- to Ngricik, the village where my relatives live. From intersection Nggrogol to Ngricik, my relatives’ house, it took only less than 10 minutes. Those costs are for 1 person.


The cost from Wonosari to Gombong was surprisingly cheaper. Ngricik to Wonosari bus station took less than 10 minute at Rp 5.000,-. From Wonosari to Giwangan bus station using smaller bus only cost Rp 10.000,- but took longer time for stopping. There was no traffic jam on Wonosari road. Otherwise, it will take more than an hour by bus. From Giwangan to Gombong, it cost Rp 30.000,-. Fiuh, what a lesson, hahaha!

What was fun from the journey is visiting Goa Pindul. It’s the new rising tourism place in Wonosari, developed well since 2010, where you can ride a tube to go along the river under cave. That’s one what makes Wonosari was crowded with vehicles now. Domestic and foreign tourist came anxious about Goa Pindul. How can I have not visited it where my ancestors are from Wonosari, hahaha!

The ticket is only Rp 35.000,-. I went with my cousin at 8.30 a.m. and even many people were already there. Although we were only 2 persons, they accepted and sent us 1 guide who kindly took our pictures along the journey. The guide would explain about Goa Pindul just like when visiting museum. The cave is about 350 meters length with water depth 1-12 meters. There are ancient fish live there but people never catch them. I have phobia of seeing big fishes. But that time, I forgot about it and just enjoy the ride. Don’t worry, no crocodile there, hahaha!

From my aunt’s house, it took less than 10 minutes by motorcycles to Goa Pindul. *sorry I can’t describe the distance exactly. So, it’s very near. I even just wore my pink dots pajamas and didn’t wash off there. We were ridding the motorcycles back home wet.



It was raining season so the river was not clear. Let’s visit again in summer? Hahaha! Also I have not ridden the rafting. Hope I can post about the rafting next time. Visit Yogyakarta, visit Goa Pindul ^^

Taare Zameen Par

Taare Zameen Par ~ “Like Stars on Earth” (released 21 December 2007) is another movie from Aamir Khan that I adore after Three Idiots and Ghajini . It is really really really a touching and beautiful movie. It tells about an eight-year-old-boy, named Ishaan, who is dyslexic but blessed with excellent painting talent. Taare Zameen Par received numerous awards, including the Filmfare Best Film Award for 2008 and the 2008 National Film Award for Best Film on Family Welfare . It was India's official entry for the 2009 Academy Awards Best Foreign Film but it failed to progress to the nominations short list.

I want to Love You Simply

*pic: suka warna kuning dan payung+hujannya* Hujan di bulan November ... kekasih yang jauh ... rasa rindu ... tiba-tiba teringat puisi karya Sapardi Djoko Damono zaman kuliah ... sederhana ... tapi kok bisa daleeeem banget. Ada yang mengartikan puisi ini sebagai curahan hati seorang "secret admirer"..., atau curcolnya orang yang mengalami "one sided love"..., atau tentang orang yang kehilangan seseorang yang dicintainya..., or even about "a forbidden love"... Tapi aku sukak puisi ini dan ga bisa setuju sama salah satu dari empat makna puisi di atas. Because now I wanna give this poem to my Cha Bo Gum ^^ (baca: bukan Park Bo Gum loh ya) Jadi ijinkan aku untuk menginterpretasikan puisi ini ala baper kangen pacar ~ *https://indonesian-english.com/blog/terjemah-puisi-aku-ingin “Aku ingin” , Indonesia dan Inggris Sekarang marilah kita simak kedua versi puisi  “Aku ingin” .
