WW: Way Lalaan Waterfalls, Lampung, Indonesia

Here comes our first trip in 2020!

This time, as we spend new year's eve at my hometown, Lampung, we took the liberty to explore more of its natural landscape.
We drove to Kota Agung (interestingly, translated as the Holy City ), the capital of Tanggamus regent, in Lampung Province. It took us around 2 hours to reach the city and we directly visited this famous waterfalls.

My kids went crazy as that was the first time for them to see the waterfalls that close and even swam under it!
Super exciting indeed.
As for me, I haven't visited this very place since ages ago and was super happy to go back!

Enjoy the photos while I will be back for more detailed stories.

clean and fresh water..

Join us on (almost) Wordless Wednesday and have fun with the Link Party

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Ready to take off for 2020

How’s January treating you?

It’s still raining cats and dogs here in Jakarta and we’re not even on the peak time yet.

Flood has been occurring here and there but many have been assisted.

Everything is back to normal and my office has been busily starting our programs for 2020.

Obviously, it will be a busy year as we are now officially members of UN Security Council and UN Human Rights Council at the same time.

My son will soon be facing the final exam, which will take place in April.

I have faith in him as he’s a smart kid but I do see him struggling with the completely different educational system we have in Indonesia. Well, more drills and extra classes have been given and let’s hope he will nail it this time. He was in honor roll and one of the best students on his 5th & 6th grade in NYC. Again, I believe he will do his best.

I will soon join the Senior Diplomatic Training in my office. It’s the final step in my professional career and I can’t wait. It will be a 3-month program of classes, outdoor activities and more skills. I’m excited for sure.

Last but not least, I am so relieved that the obgyn didn’t find any cancerous cells in my womb after series of bleeding periods. After that painful process of hysteroscopy (I have to write it down!) and uncertainty from heavy bleeding I had, I am pretty much ready to have my womb removed through hysterectomy. Yet the hyperplasia that took place is non atopic or not going to develop into something more dangerous. At least for now. Whatever it is, I’m optimistic I will be fit as a fiddle.

And now, let’s party, shall we?

To a Fabulous 2020

Wishing all my dearest friends and family a fabulous 2020!

I know 2019 has been super colorful for me and my family.

Colorful as we have so many ups and downs.

Beautiful moments captured yet many solemn instances took place.

We have so much to be grateful for, amidst the frequent trips to hospital that my hubby and I had to do along the year..

2019 is also filled with so many ‘first time’ as well.

Visit to Moscow, Russia .. hunt Aurorra Borealis in Tromsø .. ride the horse at Gedong Songo temple .. join Guinness World Record breaking attempt in diving and succeed .. do hysteroscopy ... those are among the view things I have on my list in 2019.

I guess the list is quite long.

First time ever seeing the Aurrora Borealis at Tromso, Norway

In my professional career, 2019 has provided so many wonderful opportunities for self-development and network expansion in the field of human rights and multilateral affairs.

I got the chance to travel to so many beautiful spots in the world as well, including a frequent trip to my second and third hometowns, Geneva and New York City.

But the most important thing is my petite family.

The Frakarsas

My treasure and all my life.

I was so lucky I got to spend some quality time with them.

My kids are having fun at school and making friends with so many talented youngsters, including exploring their passion in so many new fields, like martial arts.

All in all, happily, my family enjoyed our stay in out beloved Indonesia and again got a chance to explore the beauty of wonderful Indonesia.

I will definitely share more of my reflection of 2019 soon.

Wherever you are now, I sincerely wish you a blessed and peaceful 2020

May we have the faith, the strength and the courage in this new beginning

Always believe that the Almighty always has the best scenario for all of us

Cheers, 

Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends

Happy, happy New Year!

May 2020 bring you all the joy, happiness and success in all aspects of life.

We had a rough start here in Indonesia, particularly Jakarta, as we had big flood coming on the first day of 2002.

It 's so sad to see those heavily affected by flood, including my dearest family, friends and fellow bloggers. I sincerely hope things will soon be normal and better, although the moonsoon is still lingering around and the rainy season hasn't really reached its peak :(.

I guess it gives more reasons why we need to move our capital soon.

My family and I spent the last days in Lampung.

Just like like last year.

We commemorate the passing of our father (my father in law) on January 2nd so we all gather here. We have the rituals of sending our prayers together to our late fathers and families. It's a great way of gathering the family together.

But we also had so much fun exploring Lampung.

This time we visited Way Lalaan waterfall in Kota Agung, Tanggamus.

It was so much fun although it was raining cats and dogs.

The kids were having tons of fun and it was really a great opening of the year.

Now, may I kindly invite you to our weekly party, Wonderful Wednesday with My Purple World, Oh My Heartsie Girls and Friends!
