Ubud Staycation - Desa Visesa, Tegalalang Paddy Field, And Pura Tirta Empul

[Ubud]

Moving on from Seminyak, 

We escaped from the crowd and took our time to enjoy one of Bali's most beautiful town. It's UBUD!!! Ubud is famous for them who looks for Balinese culture, tradition and nature. You will never bored with this city. I rarely visit Ubud when I'm in Bali, Because it took 3 hours of road trip from big city and since I'm alone, it will cost me a fortune LOL. But since I came along with Ci Windy ( @foodirectory @windyiwandi ), we decided to have our healing time in Ubud.

Luigi Italian Restaurant, Bali - Amateur Review

[Luigi Italian]

Coming back to Bali awhile ago, I found this new restaurant ( when I came in Bali ) called Luigi. It was an Italian restaurant at Denpasar area. It was not so far from my place so I decided to come and have a quick bite!

Throwing back to my last escapade to Bali, on one day I was planned to meet up with the @balifoodies at this nice cafe called Elgin Avenue. At first, I couldn't find the cafe because they didn't put the gps for the cafe at the exact location and their name banner was too small so I couldn't find it right away.

3 Days Off From This Hectic Schedule

[Short escape]

Been awhile since my last post, and today, I'm just gonna write a short travel post of my last short escape.

It was 2 weeks ago and I was thinking to refresh my mind from the hectic schedule of my university ( most of it was from the committee of my uni's event ) then, I booked my airplane ticket using traveloka app from Jakarta to Bali. I need some time to be alone and far from all the mess I made.

Bali's Vibe - Talking About Personal Life and How to Enjoy Your Getaway

[Shade]

Heyyaa, 

Today's post is about "Getaway"! Why ? First, let me tell you a lil' bit about my personal life. One thing that really bother me all the time is the fact that I'm studying as a Medical Student in my university. Yeah, I choose to be a med-student but there's some reason and consideration. The biggest reason was because my parents. Since I was a kid my mom and dad told me that they really want to have their child as a doctor and I am the first son born to my family, somehow it burdened me, plus, I am a lil' bit pit with my lil' brother and sister so I decided to sacrifice for them and they could choose to be whoever they want.

Licking over Gusto Gelato - Bali

Many times I came to Bali, but only this was my first time coming to this hype and famous Gusto Gelato store after all this time.

Paddy Field Themed Cafe - Bali

[Lalala]

Moved back to where I used to be, Bali. I came to 2 different cafe or restaurant that have a beautiful paddy field. It such a rare to find place like this if you live in Jakarta 'cause all of the tall building and it's the capital city so there's no available land to build the paddy field here. So it was a right decision to find this place if you are visiting bali and want to escape from the city crowd.

A 1000 Km worth Tea Time at Biku

[Biku's table situation]

Why I wrote 1000 Km worth Tea Time as my Title post ? that's because last weekend, I was in Bali for about 2 days maybe or 2 and a half lol. Yeah, I was having a hard time these couples of weeks or maybe a month. So I need another getaway, I booked my flight and hotel and voilaaaa, I'm in Bali.

Bali Getaway - Part 2

As you guys know from the post before that I really fascinated to visit La Joya Biu - Biu, but I hadn't got a time to go there because it was so far from where I stayed. It located in Uluwatu and as I knew, it took 3 hours driving from Denpasar, so I changed my mind. But thankfully even I couldn't visit there, I had such a great time in Bali!

At the morning, I met Ko Yerdiansha ( @yerdiansha ) to had a breakfast and a cup of coffee. We picked Grain Espresso as our meeting location. As you guys know, he's one of the Bali Foodies so he's a pro in this field lol and I let him to choose the place.

As the Cafe's name implies, this cafe specialities are coffee. Morning is such a good time to enjoy a cup of coffee so without thinking much, I ordered my fav coffee latte, It was caramel latte and for the breakfast dish, my choice was their salmon benedict. 

Bali Getaway - Part 1

[Bali]

In Frozen, Disney's phenomenal film there's a song titled: Let it go, there is a phrase that said "It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small". Maybe it was the right phrase to describe my feeling back then. That's why I took another flight to Bali Last Sunday 'til Tuesday.

[Ruined]

So I packed my 3 days worth of clothes and other holiday essentials. I started planning and looking for my short vacation. There was some place I wanted to visit like Balangan Beach and La Joya Biu-Biu. My senior in my university told me that I should try La Joya Biu-Biu's Spa and she said it's not so pricey. 

Too bad, I couldn't visit the places that I listed before but let me show you some places that I had visited yesterday!

A week in Bali to start my blog.

Another year has passed, although it's my first year as medical student in Atma Jaya Catholic University but the routine never changes.

And I'm start to wandering where should I go for my vacation, after awhile I got pretty excited to think about a backpacker journey like climbing up a mountain or diving in the sea. Then, I asked my big brother [ not blood related, I usually called him ko Sam because his name is Sammy @sammy_e1 ], if it's possible if we could go to Lombok if I go to Bali this time, I already calculated the price and also how to get there, it would be good if I have someone to accompany me and he's more mature than me so I should be safer. Since he said it's possible but he's not pretty sure about his schedule then I booked my flight to Bali at Tuesday, 23rd June 2015 until Monday, 29th June 2015.

Bali,

This isn't my first or second or third been here, I almost went to bali every couple month. I really love the feeling to have a short getaway like in weekend to escape my stressful Uni-life. And since it's much cheaper since I have my big bro in there, it would decrease my expense.

It's began at Tuesday

At the morning I've got Remedial for OSCE last year, since I'm not passed then I should take it again this year, and then my flight using Air asia QZ7514 [ 3.10 PM ] is boarding at 2.30 PM. I got in Soekarno-Hatta International Airpot at 1 PM.

After check in and drop my luggage,

My first stop at airport is Starbucks ( since I'm really a big fan of Starbucks ) to grab a quick bite!
