Jogja: Lil Farewell

Yesterday, me and my family took 3 days trip to Jogja. We were staying at grandparents' for my farewell, eventhough until today I still haven't got my visa and residence permit. Unfortunately on the second day of the trip all of my family got sick except my mom. And so we didn't go out much. We were just staying at grandparents' house and having a "farewell dinner".

As well as buying the best martabak ever for the last time (before leaving).

Where I met 'mbah' who randomly gave me really good advice about uni, thanks 'mbah' :')

And the rest of the time was well spent at the house. But I didn't take much photos of it and also its view (which would be very nice since the house's still located in the middle of village). Yeah, that's my mistake, I'm sorry.

Anyway, this is the new dog, Sisi. 

And this is the random Chinese magazine where the text is still in Chinese so I didn't even understand. But I like this page where there are charms I wish I had one.

Then we were going back to Jakarta. 

Well, this was the last time going to this Adisucipto airport. Of course I spent my time well on my favorite bookstore, which was located right at the waiting room. Where they sell unique imported books that somehow are just different from those being sold at Jakarta.

And I bought this book instead of "street photography" book because my dad let me to buy this not that book. Yet after reading the first few pages, I actually am into this book.

So, these are few lines I would like to share here:

"I wasn't depressed and I wasn't having midlife crisis, but I was suffering from midlife malaise a recurrent sense of discontent and almost a feeling of disbelief. 'can this be me?'"

"but though at times I felt dissatisfied, that something was missing, I also never forgot how fortunate I was."

"I didn't want to look back at the end of my life or after some great catastrophe and think 'how happy I used to be then, if only I'd realized it. I needed to think about this. How could I discipline myself to feel grateful for my ordinary day?"

And this is the shot of another "oleh-oleh".

Bye bye, Djogdja.
