Finally!! Yess, finally I could manage have a vacation with my Groot out of Jakarta! We usually spend weekend time by hanging out such as going to cinema, karaoke, dinner out, swimming, or visiting some exhibition held around Jakarta. Yesterday (noted, Feb 21st – 22nd) we had a beach vacation at Kepulauan Seribu, Jakarta! As its name, there are many islands in Kepulauan Seribu. We decided to stay in Harapan Island, meanwhile we did island hopping around the small island near to Harapan.

We were very blessed on those days since weather was fortunately so lovely; bright blue sky with some cottons clouds, not too windy then wave was friendly. We felt so because Jakarta not only had a heavy rain the day before but some area still got flood also, we almost cancelled the plan because of that. Oh ya, another luckiness we got is the passenger of the ship we took was not crowded.

As usual the activities during island trip is island hoping and go snorkeling! But I prefer doing relax swimming to snorkeling. Talking about snorkeling, In Harapan (and other island in Kepulauan Seribu) we can not meet colorful fishes and reef easily just like in Kariumnajawa. However, the water is as crystal as in Karimunjawa. The blue and turquoise are similiar. So, tt is perfect lah to take some photos then upload to your online social media.

The unique thing I love most in Harapan is we can see there are many small islands surrounding Harapan. Some of those are private island of the Richie Jakartans that we cant visit without permit. Others are private resort which is expensive enough (for me) compared with beach villas in Bali. Nah, on the yesterday trip we were lucky enough because our guide toke us secretly to one of that resort. pssstt.. do not tell anyone!

When going travel I like to get #antimainstream. I love to explore hidden places and do activities differently. In Harapan my friends and I toke a walk to Kelapa Island which is located next to Harapan. There are some mangrove plants beside road to Kelapa Island which is nice enough as background to take photos.

I have already visited some island in Kepulaun Seribu and yesterday was my second visit to the island. For me Pulau Harapan offers much better activities and scenery than Pulau Payung, Pari, and Tidung. The downside is just the distance that is farther than those three island.

Well, that's all my story. I have no idea to tell more about yesterday trip to Harapan. There are three words describe it; lucky, fun, and beautiful. Here is below sunset photo I happened to catch after island hopping.

Oh ya, here is the Pulau Harapan seen from above. Just like maldive, rite?

If you need short fun getaway, decide to visit Pulau Harapan! It is worth it!.

It has been a week I am not connected to others by social media, then it is also means I have very limited access to internet at home. My smartphone was damaged due to water and then I order the one to replace by online shop. Unfortunately there is trouble in delivering the gadget since Jakarta got flood these days so I have not receive that gadget yet UP TILL NOW!

I always understand and try to always keep on positive vibes facing all the shits come to me. This moments (losing gadget and bad service by online shop) are truly make my day very bad. I feel me resulting negativity aura during this waiting period. I spend much energy in angriness, bad tempered and so on.

Well, I must say (again) everything happen for a very good reasons. I try to figure them all. These are lil bit I learn.

It practice my empathy more. Someday I shall be very easy to empathy if there will be somebody get condition like me. I understand how it feels.

There no reason to be selfish one. I often pray to God, wishing for heavy rain to cool down the temperature of my bedroom. I do not consider the effects of my wish. It could be there are many guys out there having bad condition due to rain I asked for. Right here I am really sorry for that.

Having emotionally mood is not wise. I order that one because of lack of research about others shop which is still ordering the gadget I desire. I did research only in several stores, both online and offline so because of that lack information I got, then I assume that there is only one trusted online shop offering the gadget.

I believe there would be much more than that.

Warm regards,
Ian

Good afternoon all you guys, hope everything goes well. I sincerely pray that for us, you and me. I wish you are in a good condition.

There is something bother my mind today. The story begins this morning when I found my hand phone was inactive due to water. It’s gonna be bit long if I tell you the story how come the water was getting so close with the hand phone. In short, I say my hand phone got damaged and it dead, and seems it left me forever.

Lucky me my yahoo save my all contact number. Then one by one I look for some my friend’s number, I wrote them on my book in case I need to call them later. After I felt I got what I need, then realize me it is apparently my close (my best) friend is only a few. The sum is around 10, no more. They are whom I often contact, both call and text. They are whom I like to my quality time with. I don’t know it really normal like that or me that just anti-social. However I feel blessed, happy having those friends.

Warm Regards,
Ian
