Sunset... Pura Batu Bolong

Last February, my best friend and I met in Bali. I departed from Bandung, while she departed from Osaka.

My best friend really loves Tanah Lot, with its majestic structures of stones and crashing waves. There's something peaceful and powerful in this area. Some say it's due to the presence of the sea gods, some believe it's because the place is blessed. I think it's part faith and perhaps superstition. They keep Tanah Lot area sacred and inspiring at the same time.

We stood there for a while, and found a cozy place to sit on. We arrived at about 5 - 5.30 PM and the wait wasn't long. We sat on the steps leading to the beach, and the view was... well, you can see for yourself here. Maybe next time we visit, we should bring a bottle of sparkling grape juice and make a toast or something. Or be philosophical and write endless poems, accompanied by the hues of yellowish-orange sun and grayish white sky and darkish sand. 

Yes. I am a dreamer, and I dig fabulous sights and romantic settings.

Sunset in Kuta

Bali has been a special place for me. Especially for my best friend, Nina. When she was still in university, she went to Kuta with her friends. Last May, after picking her up from the airport, we decided to go to Kuta.

There we were, two ladies of different backgrounds and nationalities. With different thoughts and dreams. Watching the sunset together made us smile. It made us dream. And yearn. And hope.

Happiness comes in many forms. Blessings come and go, and we might not realize our lives are brimming with them until we take some time to reflect and remember.

And when we do, we will realize that life might take us to a straight or roundabout route, but God will always shower us with blessings, sometimes when we least expect it.

I believe so.
