Top Seven Fascinating Species You'll Encounter When Scuba Diving in Anilao

For a long time, I had nurtured a deep desire to visit Anilao in the Philippines. However, various reasons, including the pandemic and subsequent lockdowns, continuously postponed my plans. And finally, the moment I eagerly awaited arrived this year. I could hardly contain my excitement as I embarked on my journey to Anilao, undeterred by the news of an approaching Mawar typhoon or Betty typhoon,…

The Gate of Heaven: Lempuyang Temple

The Gate of Heaven holds symbolic significance in Balinese Hinduism. It marks the transition from the material world to the spiritual realm. I visited the temple or “Pura” during the pandemic period. At that time, I completed the vaccinations as required to be able to fly from Jakarta to Bali. Bali was so quiet, and hardly any tourists except people from Jakarta. Less busy and much nicer, to be…

Great Ocean Road: Bird Lock Lookout, Cunningham Pier, Great Otway National Park, and Lorne Beach

Australians make wonderful colleagues. My visit to Australia was a business-related trip, but I had to spend a few weekends in the country. Luckily, I have thoughtful and friendly colleagues who offered us to take a road trip along The Great Ocean Road during the weekend in their cars. A trip that I won’t forget, especially on my colleagues’ kindness and thoughtful offer. The Great Ocean Road…

Stunning Sunset at St Kilda

What more could you ask for the sun, sand and stunning sunsets?

What more could you ask for the sun, sand and stunning sunsets? It was my first time visiting St Kilda Beach, and it was something special. As the sun started to set, the sky turned a stunning orange, red and pink. The colours reflected off the water and the sand, creating a truly magical experience. Then, as I watched the sun dip below the horizon, I felt a sense of peace and wonder. The…

Just Follow Your Heart: Sydney Harbour Bridge

One thing I learned from my trip to Sydney is that following your heart could be wise.

One thing I learned from my trip to Sydney is that following your heart could be wise. Yes, I love travelling, but I have had low energy to travel in the past few years; I blame it on the pandemic and major changes in my personal life. Travelling requires a certain level of energy. Usually, I was excited to plan a trip, but I had minimum excitement when preparing for the trip to Australia.…

One Fine Evening

It was a beautiful evening in Melbourne. The skyline was lovely, with the city lights shining brightly. Take deep breaths, clear your mind, and enjoy the city’s beautiful twilight.  Melbourne has its charm, especially at night. The Yarra River’s boulevard is great for walking and enjoying the evening. It’s a perfect evening for a romantic stroll or leisurely walk for everyone and enjoy the…

Melbourne and Grafitti

Melbourne is a city that is well-known for its graffiti. The city has a number of mural walls and buildings. This makes it a great place for photography. Melbourne is also a great city to learn about graffiti and street art.

Finally, I visited Australia! I arrived in Melbourne late at night and experienced a thorough inspection by Australian Immigration. I spent almost three hours at the airport, placed in a particular lane where my suitcases and myself were sniffed by cute labradors. It was tiring, but no surprise to me anymore; Australian Immigration has earned its reputation for being thorough to foreign…

Keep Going

“What’s done is done. What’s gone is gone. One of life’s lessons is always moving on. It’s okay to look back to see how far you’ve come but keep moving forward.”― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart Taken in Lempuyang Temple, Bali.

Santet and Voodoo: Reflections from a Trip in New Orleans

Santet and Voodoo: Reflections from a Trip in New Orleans

At first, Voodoo reminded me of Indonesian’s black magic called “santet”. It comes from Java Island and is used mainly by Javanese ethnic groups. The shaman, who was believed to have magical power, will deliver needles or nails to the targeted person as per request. Sometimes the shaman used a mediator to deliver black magic like the target’s pictures, clothing, hairs, or dolls. The target would…
