A blessed mom of two who loves traveling, diving, blogging, vlogging, cooking, shopping and all the joy life can bring. A lifestyle blogger who has a soft spot for wastra nusantara and purple stuff ��. Been living in 4 countries in 4 different continents and traveling to more than 50 countries (and counting ��♥️)

Before winter comes...

At the end of fall like this, nothing makes me happier than having sunny days.

here come the sun...

Sungguh, hal sederhana seperti menikmati hangatnya sinar matahari di wajah bisa menjadi kemewahan yang mahal harganya saat musim dingin datang menyapa.

A few last weekends, New York City and the surrounding areas were blessed with balmy weather. My kinda weather :).

Tanpa ba-bi-bu, saya, Udi et anak-anak sudah sepakat untuk menikmati udara hangat ini di luar. Memanjakan 4 pasang kaki gatal dan tangan iseng yang bawaannya foto ke sana ke sini. A weekly dose of nature's wonders, I call it. Bon.. Pourquoi pas?

Dan meskipun banyak tempat yang belum kami jelajahi di belantara New York City yang terkadang memekakkan telinga, kami lebih tertarik untuk menyusuri Hudson River. Ceritanya We're in a New York state of mind :), kalau kata Om Billy Joel #cieciecie #gegayaan. Sooo.. Long story short, Udi and I pinpointed the surrounding areas which are worth a visit.

And this time, Yonkers came out of the map :). Using Trip Advisor as our guide, the number 1 on the list in this area is Untermyer Parks and Garden, while the next one is Hudson River Museum. The review says it's lovely but need more tender loving care. Well, let's find out!

About 45 minutes drive, we arrived at our destination.

And as I set my eyes on this gated garden, I fell in love with this Persian-style mixed with Grecian elegance. Perfected with the bella vista of the Hudson River. Tres maqnifique!

I know.. Extra maintenance will be more than welcome but even at its present state, the park is a beautiful spot that worth a visit.

We strolled around the covered park and no doubt we took tons of pictures. The Grecian temple, the couple of sphinxes on top of the marble columns, marbled mosaics, the vista, the temple of love, and more. Of which, if you don't mind, I will share in the next post.

But another interesting part of our journey at that day was the trekking.

We were practically the only groups in the woods that day. And how happy we were spending our time sitting on top of the piles of leaves, positioning our camera on the dirt and taking pictures. In the middle of the pathway :)

Aaah..kalau sudah begini bahagia memang sederhana.

Bisa menghabiskan waktu bersama keluarga tercinta, tertawa lepas di alam terbuka, saling membantu menyemangati kala hiking sudah mulai menghabiskan nafas, dan santai duduk di atas tanah lembab yang penuh dengan dedaunan menikmati indahnya sekitar.

posing before the Hudson River at the back

Speaking of dedaunan, I was also on a special mission at that time. Collecting some dried leaves for my dearest friend, Siti Hairul Dayah.

a special package..

I know fall folliage is probably over but its beauty lingers and I want to capture that and send this special package to Mak Irul. There, on the other side of the world, in a hot, humid, yet magnificent Jogjakarta, lives a great family that I adore. For being so modest, for being so real, and highly committed.

Bagaimana tidak... Mbak Irul, panggilan sayang Siti Hairul Dayah, dikarunia 6 orang putra putri. Dan semuanya homeschooling. Itu juga yang membawa perkenalan kami pertama saat menjadi salah satu finalis Srikandi Blogger KEB. Homeschooling...mungkin banyak yang sudah tidak asing mendengarnya dan banyak yang sudah menerapkannya pula. Di tengah hiruk pikuk dunia pendidikan saat ini, saya mengerti sekali mengapa banyak yang memutuskan untuk mengajarkan langsung pada anak-anaknya hal-hal penting yang akan menjadi bekali mereka kelak di masa depan. Untuk itu saya salut dengan Mba Irul. Butuh dedikasi tinggi, disiplin luar biasa, dan kreatifitas yang tidak putus untuk bisa memastikan anak-anak menikmati dan terus berkembang lewat homeschooling. I got to admit I guess I won't beat that. Dan saya menikmati berbagai proses yang dilalui anak-anak Mba irul untuk terus memicu potensi diri dan membangun karakter mereka lewat catatan si emak. Mulai dari trip ke pantai, blusukan, sampai pencak silat dan masak bareng :). Thanks for sharing it yaaa mbak :)

ini dia Mba Irul dan kesayangannya...punten saya ambil dari blog Mba Irul http://catatansiemak.com langsung :)

Well... Benar kan...keindahan alam bisa membawa kita menjalin silahturahmi dan belajar banyak. Selembar daun bisa membuat perjalanan biasa menjadi seru bersama keluarga :). Sederhana..tapi semuanya membuat kami makin memahami makna keluarga dan juga mengingatkan kita betapa luar biasa ciptaan-Nya. Alhamdulillaaaah...

Stay blessed, people :)

Central Park in autumn

I have to admit that Central Park is one of my favorite spots here in the Big Apple.

Well... Who wouldn't love Central Park?

One sunny day...

Lines of green lush trees, climbing rocks for kids and adults to enjoy, squirrels running around carefreely and the charming landscapes are only a few perks you can enjoy in this New Yorkers' dearest spot. Not to mention several incredible museums you can visit and enjoy here, like American Museum of Natura History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The park is very accessible, too. Public transport is available on the West or East side of the park. I usually take subway line B and C for the West side and line 4,5, and 6 for the East Side. We can have the connection from Grand Central or Times Square. Check mta.com for the complete subway map and timetable. With some short extra walks, you will easily arrive here.

And autumn just simply makes everything looks even more and more beautiful. As ever.

Last year, during this time, I was so occupied with my chemotherapy. Frequent trips to the clinic, drastic changes in my physical appearances, heavily reduced mobility and lingering discomforts accompanied me as Fall besotted NYC last year. How I missed going out and enjoying the nature's beauty but I have to concentrate on my treatment at that time.

But hey... Here I am now.

Feeling much, much better than before. Happily finishing my procedures and treatments while trying to go back to my normal life.

And wonderful Fall is coming to town again. Rendering its magical feeling as red and gold hues painted the leaves and trees.

How my heart sings.

So, this autumn, I simply don't wanna miss the vibe.
And Central Park is on top of the list. For sure, it looks even more wonderful than ever. And blessfully, NYC is surprisingly warm.

We stroll around Central Park West, near the jogging track surrounding the Reservoir and around the Gothic Bridge. Here are some snaps I took with my iPhone in one lovely Saturday. Just before this beautiful fall slipping away.

You know how big Central Park is.

I have shared many parts of the Park here in this blog before, like the Mall and the pond as well as Bethesda Fountain.

We usually go the East side but this time we strolled around the West Part. And it is as beautiful as any part of the Park.

Feel blessed, always..

the signature hues of fall...

some more pics from our Saturday walk

How I feel so blessed for all the great things my Rabb has bestowed upon me and my family. Alhamdulillah...

Obi et Bapak..

Spending some quality time with my loved ones is another blessing that I continue to be grateful for. It feels like a strong medicine for my heart and soul.
