Rumah Turi - Solo




So, I had a chance to visit my Dad's hometown last week in Solo ( ay, pobre la gente que ojala que no este sola todo el tiempo ... :P ) in Central of Java for a short business trip.

My friend Nuri and I we had to check some works that we are currently
doing
in Boyolali and we decided to stay in Solo for a night.

Tisa, our partner had recommended this Hotel named Rumah Turi
that is located in Turisari, that happened to be not so far from where my late Grandmother from Dad's side lived when she was young.


A little story about Rumah Turi that this hotel is an eco green hotel, that is uniquely designed , and every construction was made from used material such as recycled wooden, metals and cotton fabrics.
What i love most was, they chose to have a yard instead of swimming pool that really soothe my eyes when I walked to my room.

They do have a great system for watering every plants like a sprinkle of water from the tip of the shelter that automatically showering the green area every morning. ( I really thought that it was raining hard that time , then I realise that I did a wrong guess )


Loving the green roof, that made it gorgeous with plants like chillis, eggplants, and spinach.

And if you ask about the price, they offered the best price that I couldn't ever imagined.
350.000 ( for the low season, I assume. )

Solo is one of the best authentic Javanese city in Central of Java and has its own speciality on culinary. Most people come for the food also for vintage goods shopping.
I'll post more pictures about the vintageys later.

Well, Alice Multinu... You can consider this place to visit next December, A QUE SI? ;)

Happy Birthday Sir Freddie!



I was pretty petrified when i opened Google on last Monday, the 5th of September.
That day was the first day working after a week holiday for Idul Fitri the end of Ramadan..
I clicked the Google Doodle that day and it played a fancy animation of Freddie Mercury, was wondering if that day was the birthday of Queen as in the band. To my surprise that was the Freddie's birthday.

It got me shivered and automatically remember my childhood memory (again) with songs from Queen that I knew from lased disc my Dad owned back when I was 10.
This LD was being played almost everyday by myself and my brothers.

So I guess, what I can do now is just posting this video from Youtube so that I would remember and I could play the video over and over again.

I wanted to say it could've been me, but then I remember God's promise..then I want to know what would I say in 10 years..
Will it be the same or I end up praising His name cause I passed the test and say Thank Jesus that it wasn't me.....

My flesh is weak.
I need you right away.

For the rock that never turn a deaf ear to me

Today I received a picture from my friend Marcello who has just got his tattoo finished.
We had several convos according tattoos that he planned to make and shared several idea, quotes or daily special things about his family.

After a busy week we had no chance to chat, time differencies was also the reason.
This pic was quite surprising me cause I know that he just finished his first enormous Cross tatoo on his back last week.

"Drew, my band member made them for free... He didn't charge me any penny!" Cello said.

About the verse from the Bible He quoted.
Psalm 28:7

7 The LORD is my strength and my shield;
my heart trusts in him, and he helps me.
My heart leaps for joy,
and with my song I praise him.

I'm grateful to have this faithful friend for more than 15 years.
God takes care of him and his family in California.

Later I said, " You know, my friend.. There's a very small chance for you to be my Dad's son-in-law!"

He laughed.

Strange Things Will Happen


Today was a pretty day
No disappointments
No expectations on your whereabouts
And oh, did I let you go?
Did it finally show that strange things will happen if you let
them?

Today I didn't even try to hide
I'll stay here and never push things to the side
You can't reach me cause I'm way beyond you today

Today was a pretty day
Autumn comes with
These slight surprises where your life might twist and turn
Hope to unlearn
Strange things will happen
If you let them come around and stick around

Today I didn't even try to hide
I'll stay here and never push things to the side
Today I didn't even look to find
Something to put me in that peace of mind
You can't touch me cause I'm way beyond you today

It's funny how distance often causes many problems to everyone. Long or short. Far or close. Full contrary gets me laughing at a time.

facetted faces


i haven't got enough time to write nor having my own private time to blog.
my ceramic studio keeps me busy in crazy way.
been running with projects, opening outlets, lotsa meetings, showroom openings, feast and celebrations, seminars, travels and such...

but finally, one meeting with client got me to open up and write this little stuff.
he introduced me to this ceramic artist whom interested in the shape of bauhaus.

and i fell with these pieces of vases.
i must tell that i am amazed with the runny glazes.

Seriously, this guy is awesome.
check on his works with porcelain and stonewares.


hope you're all doing well.
let's stay in touch, i might have been busy..
but still got you in mind.

bye now!

To work or to fight.

To pray and to work, Ora et Labora. Orar y Labor
I might prefer myself in a better specific verb. To pray and to fight. Orar y Luchar.
Why fight? Because to fight means against laziness, and to fight means having your mind sober and giddy up; trespassing whatever comes upon you.
And the first verb is being placed for a reason. Because without it, you end up fighting alone.

Later that night, after the CLARA event.. we celebrated our besty Lukman's birthday
in Luna Negra.
It was a fun one and quite a stuffy.
We ordered Nachos, and Beef Carpaccio Rucula Salad and later on
I ordered Beef Angus Steak.
Splashin some white Chardonnay White Wine,
Nuri , Lukman and I definitely missing the presence of Anto Arief whose now exhibiting in Amsterdam.

Happiest Birthday deary Elgun!!!
Wishing him the highest achievement of life, and may the passion be fulfilled.




The funny thing was, we always have a single seat unoccupied.
Happened also in Loewy, the next evening when Lukman and I had dinner after a long day at the CLARA Local Market, we found ourselves sitting in a table with 3 seats.
Lukman took my camera and said, " Let's take a picture and pose as if Anto was in the middle...)

..........aaaaaaaaaawwwhh....
