Sunset View at Ratu Boko Temple

No one denies that Yogyakarta is one of regions in Indonesia with a host of stunning places to visit. Not only the beaches which are stunning, but also the temples, villages, and others. Hence, it is recommended for you to drop by the city if you happen to have a visit in Indonesia. For those who love watching sunset, give it a try to visit Ratu Boko temple in Yogyakarta. Why so?

Ratu Boko is located at Sleman regency, Yogyakarta, approxiamtely 17 km away from Yogyakarta. If it's your first time coming to Yogyakarta, I recommend you to take a tour which can be easily found on the internet. lol. Well, seriously, everything can be easily found here on the internet. Usually, tour travels will make it as a package. I mean, a travel package to visit Prambanan and Boko temple. The tour travel will make you an itinerary so that it's much easier for those who have no idea how to reach the place. Plus, there will be several options to choose to fit your preferences. Pick the package, complete the payment, and tadaaaa all you left to do is enjoy the tour!

As for me, I obviously did not take a tour package or that sort of thing! I went there by motorcycle. Yap. It took around about an hour from my bed-site (which is at Kentungan, err, well, not a matter) to reach the place. Since I did not really know where it is exactly , I happen to ask people to reach the place :D Ahya, if you plan on staying for days here, you can also rent a car or even a motorcycle to go around the city, and visit Ratu Boko for sure.

Another option to reach the place is by public transportation. Well, it's an option for those who don't wanna take either the tour package or renting a motorcycle. From Yogyakarta, you can take Trans Jogja (public bus) route 1A and 1B then stop at Prambanan bus shelter. Next, take ojek (motorcycle cab) to get you from Prambanan to Ratu Boko. Seriously, I've never gone there by Trans Jogja so I get nothing more to say about it >.< Keke ~

here's one of pictures I took there :)

Now, lemme tell you about the admission or the entrance fee. The entrance fee is IDR 25K for domestic tourists, as for foreigners, it will around about $13. That excludes the parking fee in case you bring your own vehicle.
The best time to visit the Ratu Boko temple is in the afternoon, of course, so that you can enjoy the sunset. If you also love visiting and enjoying ancient ruins, make sure to spare your time exploring the place. Well, me myself enjoyed walking around the temple while waiting for the sunset. Such an enjoyable and refreshing doing, certainly.

as the sun sets, it's the best to take some time doing nothing but enjoying the view :)

Plus,,,,, lastly, just wanna give you tips. It's recommended to wear casual outfit and sneakers or flat shoes when you visit Ratu Boko temple. Well, many stairs you have to take to get the place where I took the picture above. And, it's quite far to reach the place from the entrance. So, it's definitely the best to wear sneakers or any comfortable flat shoes. Want me to tell something? When I was there, I saw a girl wearing short skirt and high heels (!!!!!!). The problem is not on the skirt (wearing skirt is okay, i did it) but the high heels. I have to say this, she obviously looks uncomfortable on her heels. Maybe she had no idea about the place. You know, it's just what I saw and just, er,, I just wanted to give you a tip :D *random
But, hey, travelling is so much fun with sneakers. Sorry, random ._.
Well, just me and the sunset <3

I got to say this, I loved being there. And I will gladly pay a visit again, some day :)

xoxo

Falling in Love with Strangers

Just another random flying issue on my mind. I was singing one of my fav song, and it contains "Falling in Love with Strangers". Then suddenly I wonder how it feels. Have you ever felt so? In a sudden I think of meeting someone new and feel a kinda strange feeling warming up my body just like every time I met you. Well, that kinda feeling. I think it must be good to easily falling in love with someone you meet at the first sight. Just if I can do it. It wouldn't be so hurting and taking time to forget you, then, I guess. Have you got my point so far? I juts think, maybe , it might be either yes or no, maybe it ll be helpful to easily falling in love with someone else once your heart gets broken. If it's possible, then this broken heart can be recover soon right? Well, once more, it can be yes or no. Missing you was blue , That's what I feel and I have to find a way soon to turn that blue into red, before it's too late and my heart gets frozen sin...

Home is not a home without a Mother

I read it somewhere on the internet; a home is not a home without a mother. I don't know why, lately I miss her just so much. Surely I miss her and remember her a lot, but it feels different these past few days; it hurts me missing her so badly. I don't know to whom should I tell this, guess my sister won't listen to me anymore if I keep telling her that I miss you, mom ._. Ehe By the way, it's okay. I'm fine. Not totally fine, but I am fine. So then I remember watching a TV show when the guest said something about losing a mother. As what I remembered, she said that there are "first without mom" things that we will have to do as our moms passed away. Then, I rethink about it. Dear my always lovely Mae , I remembered coming home for the first time after you passed away, mom. It felt totally empty. You know, I used to seeing you welcoming me home; then it all felt so much different when I come home now and no one is there welcoming me. At first, I...
