well, i think this gonna be a long long post since i think i had something i wanna show y'all, (hints: it's about cool outfits! :D) and the theme is still about jogja. so i'll divide it to two posts, first is about the trip, and second about the outfit :D
so, i won't tell you about the whole trip, i'll only tell you the interesting parts i had in jogja. since i never visit jogja before, it feels so nice for me to visit there with my beloved fella, my beloved rajawali :D this "rajawali" (which means "hawk" in english) is my school generation name :D we name it rajawali because that's our school's street name :)
when we arrived in jogja, it was about 9 or 10 at night. we go straight to the hotel, and we all sleep tight till the morning come! the next morning, we visit the merapi volcanology museum, in ketep, magelang. next, we went to borobudur temples! it was pretty awesome eventhough the weather was hot and then it was rainy >.<
this temple used to be one of the world's seven wonders, but because of some reasons now it's not the part of it anymore, sadly :(

next, we went to the depok beach! omg, it was just WONDERFUL! fabulous! the beach is wide and there wasn't so many ppl, it wasn't crowded so that you can really enjoy the beach!
maybe the view is not as good as senggigi beach or whitehaven beach of course, but it's cool enough!
there is no coral in there so the wave reaches the beach perfectly :) this beach had a deep trough for about few hundred meters from the beach, so that we can't swim in here, because of the big risk that we will drift.
this beach is famous because it's culinary. i didn't buy anything in there, but there are plenty of stall and small shop. some of my friends buy roasted corn, it so tasty! and the best thing of this wonderful culinary is; that you can enjoy eating the tasty foods which is fresh from the ocean while watching the sunset! wow, what's better? :)

and the next day we visit keraton jogja, but i didn't really learn something because i can't really hear what the guide said! >.<
so, i'm really sorry about this, but let's skip the keraton :/
guess what's next: MALIOBORO!!! this is my fave part! :D i've been waited to go to here since we haven't arrived at jogja yet ^^
this place is just awesome. it's such a market that sell lots of batiks, wayang decoration, unique necklaces, and more. batiks in here are variety. there are lots of batik tie dye shirts, batik bags, sandals, shorts, and more. the prices are variety too, but you have to be smart on bidding the price! it can be very expensieve, but if you're good at bidding, you can really save your money! :D
here are some tips that you should remember when you're bidding the prices at malioboro:
*bid one third of the price that the seller offered for the first time. example: if the seller said it's Rp. 30.000, bid it Rp. 10.000!
*if you can, don't ask the price! just bid to the lowest price!
*when the seller didn't give you the price you want, for example: the seller offer: Rp. 50.000, and you bid Rp. 20.000. if the seller refused, just act like you're not interested anymore and just walk away. then the seller will give you the price that is not far from your bidder, like Rp. 25.000 :)))
*important notice: watch your money! there are plenty of pickpocket in malioboro, so pls be careful. you have to keep your money in the safety places, and don't just suspect suspicious people! because the innocent look kid could be a pickpocket. even an old granny too! and the seller themself could be pickpocket too. just be aware of ppl that are acting so close to you.
GOOD AND BAD EXAMPLES ON BIDDING:
* my friend wanna buy something, the seller offer Rp. 65.000. and my friend didn't bid, he paid Rp. 65.000. this definitely is a bad example!!!
*this is the good one, (eventhough i don't like the person who bid this, she's showing off taht she's smart on bidding -,-) the seller offer the price Rp. 55.000 of one dress, and my friend bid Rp. 60.000 for three dresses. really save your money.
i think that's all the tips for now, and i'll tell y'all what i bought from malioboro on the next post! :)))
you know, i'm really enjoying to write this post, like i enjoy my very first trip to jogja. :)
i swear, i enjoy almost every second i spend with my beloved fella, in the hotel room, in the bus, i really did enjoy it. and since we'll graduate this year, it'll be one of our hundreds unforgettable moments. even if we graduate already, i won't forget what did i hear and had, i won't forget about this trip, i won't forget that every night i watch fashiontv, vodka, and i won't forget that every night in the bus we listened to "kelelawar FM" (which is means "bat" in english) it's not a real radio FM, but the boys in the bus singing and playing guitars and pretending that they're radio announcer. but at night, all of us, including the bats also, are sleep sooooo tight in the bus back to our home. so, from the hawk, we changed to bat, then to snowy owls :)) (which are diurnal animals, that sleep at night and stay awake at day)
thank you my fellas, for all the memories you gave, all the memories we've made. :))) i really enjoy every second we spend together. again, this is one of my fave quotes, and now i really trust on this, and believe that it's true:
"time you've spent with them, that's what makes them to be precious. -the little prince-"
