Curug Cilember Waterfall

Our Train going to Bogor

   

              I'm a person who loves to stay home but one of my friend invited me to join on their trip.  To make things differently I said, Yes.  We're going to Curug Cilember in Puncak, Bogor.
              Some of us met in Block M Square where we took a Transjakarta  to Sudirman Station.  From Sudirman we took the train straight to Bogor Station.

 It took us 1 hour and 30 mins to reached  Bogor station.  From Bogor we took Angkot; it's a public transportation a mini bus that can fit 12 persons.  Its much easier if you hire Angkot. It will save your time and money. My friend talk to the driver since we travel by group we only pay 450 rupiah for 2 hours back and forth.

Finally we reached the Curug Cilember.  The entrance fee cost us 15 rupiah per person.

Cilember waterfall has seven waterfalls in different places, with the highest 40 meters rapids. The lower the number, the higher the location of the waterfall.  Closest to the entrance is seventh waterfall and the most visited. The distance between the entrance to the water fall is 15 minutes by foot.  The seventh waterfall has two flow of water. When we got there some people are swimming and some are taking pictures.

How majestic is it!

We ate our packed lunch .   We rest for awhile then we proceeds to the fifth waterfall.  It took us 30 minutes to walk and  I was wondering where is the sixth waterfall so i google it and  it says it cannot be visited because there's no foot path leading to it that's why it will direct you to the fifth.  Walking all the way to the fifth is kinda hard.  The foot path is steep and narrow. Some of my friends didn't  climb with us. Some of  us reached the fifth waterfall.  As for this waterfall it has a beautiful scenery.   Clear water flowing over rocks and lots of tall trees too.

Sad to say we didn't reached the top because were so exhausted and running out of time as we have to visit another place.  Visiting this kind of place is wonderful experienced. This place makes me appreciate mother nature.  Great escape in a busy city.  I had a great time and thanks to my friends for inviting me.  I'm looking forward for another memorable experienced.

My Converse Story

         A pair of jeans and converse what a perfect pair!Women loves heels and girls loves sneakers.It means

 I'm still in girls category.I love to wear my converse it makes me feel comfortable and I can move

freely.I purchased my first ever black converse and I got it sale.Lucky me!Until I had another pair of

converse.This is where my converse story begun.    
       My new converse is neon blue in size 6 although I'm only 5.5.This is different from my first one

this is special for me because a guy that i thought I knew but haven't met gave this to me.Its kind of

complicated.Its all started in the world of Facebook.Yeah I only knew him through messenger but it

felt like I've known him my whole life.I started chatting with him last march this year.We are chatting

almost everyday.We talked about our lives,we teased each other and we talked anything wherever our

 conversations leads us to.And I was so delighted.On our middle of our conversation about abs a deal

was born.Our deal is in 3 months he needs to have a six pack abs then I will treat him in a fancy steak

 house so my 1 month salary is at stake.On the other way round if he lose I will have my converse the 

one that I like.Our deal is closed.Six weeks past he said I can't do it anymore choose your converse 

and I will send it to you.I was in awe .Is he serious?Is he really gonna send me a converse?Why?I 

mean we've haven't met in flesh albeit I was serious about our deal but not taking it so seriously.Then 

I sent him  the picture of the converse that I like and he bought it.I won't believe until I had the shoes 

so he sent it through courier.I flushed scarlet when I received the parcel and I think Im fallin for 

him.Dont be mistaken I was not into shoes but he honored our deal.He wrote something in the right 

tongue of a shoe it says " I hope this shoes can take you wherever you go and travel" So sweet,right?I 

wanted to tell him that I like him but I'm scared that I won't received the same answer.So I wait and 

wait and wait but still disappointments.I thinks he's not into me but why given me a shoes?I was lost 

until i just said to him "You know what I felt like you like me the way your words telling me and I 

don't know your game and I'm tired playing with it"This is all how it ends he never answer my 

message I don't know why?I never asked again I guess he never likes me.This the first time I cried 

horribly and felt helpless.How could he do that to me.I would understand if he doesn't like me but 

ignoring me like nothing happen is unacceptable.I was furious .Okey if he doesn't chat anymore let it 

be I guess this is all it ends.No communication at all but still I was stalking to his face book  I wanted

 to know what he's up to. Did i just do that i was freaking crazy.Then one dayI can't find him 

anymore I guess he blocked me.I was hurt.He left me with this converse wherever Im wearing it I 

remember him. I'm not mad anymore it's just I wish I have his reasons.Someday if ever we meet I 

want his answer.For now were gonna have a long journey me and my special converse .Bon Voyage!

How Being Discriminated Changed Me

      According to Merriam Webster  discrimination is a noun that means the practice of unfairly

treating a person or group of people differently from other people or groups of people.What made me 

write this blog because there is a lot of buzz going around on how this society discriminates 

maids/nanny's and it affects me because I'm a nanny.  It makes me sad to hear stories like this.

 There's  exclusive Condo that's says maids and nanny's are not allowed to used the tenants elevator

and another story about this exclusive resort that offers "Yaya's Meal".  I think there's nothing wrong

with the meal the only  wrong there is how  they labeled it.  Its so discriminatory! For me they

shouldn't put it at all.  In my case  my employer would just order  a big size of food to share but most

of the time my employer let me choose what I want but if this is the case of course I would choose

the cheaper one and if there's kids meal I choose it.  Good food at the same time it's cheap.  Sadly not

all employer are like mine. Some of them treat their maids unfairly.  I believe God created us equal

and as I always said  in my previous blogs our work doesn't define us it's who we define.We may not

be punish here but Gods sees us!

   Let me share a story of mine how I felt discriminated and how I put it into new perspective. A guy

once told me that my job isn't respectable. Yeah, you heard me right and it's a big slap on my face!

It's like who the hell are you to tell me that.  Do you know what I earned every month is a damn hard

good money.  I felt pity for myself.  I can't sleep that night thinking of  what he said. Is my job isn't

that respectable in what way? I'm good at it and I'm honest. What he said gotten into my nerve and

I started to realize it is the truth, people will look at you differently even if you finished college as

long as your are maid they will look at you as a lower class.  We can't change how people

think but it's up to us how we deal with it.  Are we gonna cling to it or we gonna move on?  For me

whatever  your job is as long as you're doing it for the glory of God and you are honest and good at

it.  Its respectable besides its not the job who gets respected its you who gets respect.  Maybe the 

word respectable that he used is not the right word.  I'm not angry at him in fact  he made me realize 

I can be bigger than what I'm doing right now. He made me see the reality and challenge me that 

even if I'm a maid I can be whatever I want to be. I need to  set goals and turn it into actions.  I 

believe someday I can make a difference and be an inspiration to others.

What I learned in my 27 years of Living.

Tomorrow I will turn 27 and 3 more years I'll hit the big 3-0.Before my special day end I wanted to share what I learned in my twenty- seven years of my existenced

* Read to expand your mind = I try to read whenever I have spare time.By doing this I learned a lot

                                                  like simple new language,history of a place,peoples lives,etc.Someday      

                                                  I want to write a book.

*Being single is not that bad = I've been single for almost 7 years.It might look bad at first but

                                                  believe me you get past over it once you focus about yourself.Its

                                                  not you become self centered.I learned to date myself. I'm either eat

                                                  my choice of food,watched a movie or just strolling around the mall.I

                                                  have nothing to worry about beside myself. I believe that you must
                                                  love yourself first before you were able to love someone!

*Save save save = This is what I Learned later on in my life that you have to save as early as possible

                               if you want to retire early on in your life and do what you love most.If I could go 

                               back to my younger years I should have save during those years but sadly I can't 

                               but it's never too late to save as I become wiser now.

*"Nothing is ever handed to you

   You have to work for it"        =    I loved this quote!I read it in a book titled The Trumps Card by  

                                                        Ivanka  Trump.This quote has big impact on me. For me it means

                                                        if I want something to achieve I have to work my butt off really 

                                                        hard because no one will do it for me except me.Yes,people will       

                                                        help you once in a awhile but it doesn't mean you have to depend 

                                                        on them!

*F.E.A.R =  as it means False Evidence Appearing Real. We all have our own fears. I fear a lot that
                     leads me to stay in my comfort zone and that wasn't  productive in my past life.

                     if I could have known how to handle my fears in my younger days maybe I struggled 

                     less in life. When fears reign on me I pray to God that He will help me to way pass over 

                     it.

*Its okay to CRY = Sometimes we need to cry. Crying doesn't mean we're weak it only means were
                                 human and we feel pain. Once  in a awhile I cry there are times in my life that I 

                                 felt that I carried the weights of the world and all I need is a good cry and it's 
                                 damn good releasing all the negativity inside you.

         As I grow older I become mature.Life is full of surprises it's up to us how we handle it.We are 
    the only one who can run our life and decide what/who we become.Our parents is just there to 
    guide us and of course with the the help of our Almighty God. Cheers for more years  to come!
