When you need a getaway but can’t get away

view from 8th floor *swimming pool

You really need getaway, but you can’t get away. Why not try on staycation?

Staycation lately become hits for urban people. They are too busy or maybe don’t have any leave left so, to avoid the stress from work or life, they took short staycation.

This weekend I also with my junior (junior due to age-haha) decided to try staycation.

She texting me in the mid day when I still working. Neechan, aku lagi bête nih. Minggu depan coba nginap hotel yuk. Berenang dan sarapan enak. And with no doubt, I said YESSSSSSS!!

Then we decided to choose which hotel that we want to stay.

Usually the business hotel located in central or south Jakarta offering cheaper price on the weekend than on weekdays.

So we were browsing through the hotel booking site and also googling which hotel we want to choose. 

Actually my favo hotel for stay located in central Jakarta called Intercontinental hotel, but at that time we don’t have enough budget so we try to searching another option that still comfortable affordable yet.

And finally we choose Manhattan hotel. Located at bilangan mega kuningan, and a lot of shopping mall around hotel into consideration to choose this hotel, and the range price as well. 

anddd,,,, jang jaaaang,,,, saturday!!

arrived at 2 PM we directly go to front office for check in. 

we have to waiting about 15 minutes although the queue was not too long. around 3 guest in a row.
after that we got the key and we just going upstairs.

we got smoking room in 11th floor.
and after we open the door the smell of smoke was toooo strong. :(
how can i say, usually in the 5 stars hotel even we booked smoking room but the smell of the room not like this. this is so terrible smell. :(
we calling receptionist to make the room more fresh with air freshener, they said yes but the room service never come. T_T
and we're not found the towel also (even floor mat) we have to calling front office desk to asking towel. and we also need long time to waited the towel come and need to calling over and over. fiuuuuhhhhh......

i don't want to ruin our staycation but yaa, with this service hhhmmm, its kinda lil bit ruin my mood.

yaaaa unfortunately for hotel that claim 5 stars hotel, their standard was not soo 5 stars at all. :(
but yaa, as indonesian always said apa boleh buat, we have to enjoy it until the last. :)

in the afternoon we going down to the swimming pool area. to enjoy the breeze and wind in the rooftop and also take a pics of course. hahahah,,,,, ^^

we back to the room and go to the shopping mall next to hotel building. and eat dinner there.
after that go back hotel and do sauna, the take a shower and time to sleep. *turn off the light

in the morning we take a breakfast. the breakfast was so so. nothing special.
the ground staff also didn't offer coffee or tea for us. :(
but ya at least the breakfast has so many kind of varian and yaa was good. *luckily i'm kind of person easy to satisfy.

after that we go back to the room and wait our time to check out.

yaaa, for this staycation not so satisfy but we enjoy it.
but maybe to choose this hotel for next staycation maybe no. hehehe....

so sorry... ^^

at the end don't forget to be happy and there is always a way to have fun even don't have much time... :))

Happiness.......

spread your happiness everywhere no matter how look silly you are....

Have you ever take a time for a while, and thinking about something that can make you happy easily?

Yes, for me Happiness is easily to found in the simple things.

Such as calling my mom and hearing her voice and her laugh clearly, Enjoying my favo ice coffee in favo coffee shop during the sunny weekend, see the plane landed safely, hearing the voice of rain and many more. 

Im just  typically people that can get easily to be happy. Ahaha… 

And.... don't forget to be happy!!!!! :)

Para Para Paradise Escape, Jeeva Beloam

view from the front of restaurant

 

Terletak di lombok timur Resort ini menawarkan keindahan yang begitu nyata dan menenangkan.

Postingan ini sebenarnya telat sekali karena sudah sekitar satu bulan yang lalu.
But no late for sharing the happiness rite?

I went there with my ex boyfriend for our last vacation. (read: Good bye Vacation)
and why i took so long to posting this blog because i also need time to recover all the broken heart.
Now i still broken heart but at least i'm not cry anymore.
They said that time heals almost all the wounds rite? and i do believe and hope so even now still struggle with this feeling.

oooppssss..... sorry for can't stop blabbering and now back to the topic that i just want to share about the beautiful scenery of this place.

took almost 3 hours from lombok International Airport, and we have to passes forest with not so good road.

melewati jalan berkelok kelok dengan medan yang ga bisa di bilang nyaman terlebih karena pas kita dateng lombok sedang di guyur hujan, jadi jalanan yang penuh lumpur dan ngeri mobil terpeleset dari jalur, but fortunately kita sampai juga ke Jeeva beloam juga dengan selamat.

begitu sampai kita langsung check in. dan untungnya bisa ga perlu nunggu waktu lama (padahal kita datang lumayan pagi)









we got beruga 10 which is this is the favorit beruga  among the guest because the view from this room was so so amazing. jeeva beloam had 11 beruga and all the beruga was really good of course, but beruga 10 and beruga 11 become the favorit though lil bit far from the front office and restaurant. :)

but still lucky us got this room.

beruga 11 taken from our room, beruga 10

setelah kita diantar ke kamar,kita ekplore lihat-lihat sebentar dan sambil nunggu lunch tiba kita putusin buat jalan jalan ke sekitar resort ini.


berkali kali kita terkagum kagum dan benar-benar surprise bahwa ternyata ada view seperti ini di indonesia.

library or media room

setelah capek berkeliling kita putusin buat nunggu lunch time di library atau media room.


Offering the serenity this place was really perfect for honeymoon or just for short escape from the noisy urban life.
i'm so satisfied with this vacation. though sad at the same time. :)
but at least this vacation gave me such a good memories rite? *start to crying again.

Hanya dua hari satu malam stay disini tidaklah cukup untuk menikmati keindahan alam pahatan Tuhan ini, tapi saya sudah cukup bersyukur bisa menginjakkan kaki disini.

saya berharap someday bisa kembali lagi kesini dengan suasana yang berbeda. maybe for honeymoon? ahahahaha..... *ngayal babu adalah bagian dari doa ^^

ooo iya jangan lupa juga untuk order banana juice yang epic banget disini. entah kenapa rasanya bisa enak banget tapi ini adalah the most favo drink around us or around guest here. Saya sempat coba banana juice nya dan juga watermelon juice yang ga kalah enaaaaaakkk nyaa. *hhhmmm yummyyyyyy

malam hari nya kita disuguhin dinner dengan konsep barbeque dan itu enak banget.
dinner di pinggir pantai dengan suara deburan ombak di temani sebotol wine....
hhmmmmm sounds romantic..... try this to surprise your lover and she will be happy. haha... :P

Tempat ini benar-benar menawarkan keheningan dan keindahan yang tidak akan bisa di rasakan di jakarta. *yaeyalaaaahhhhh....

sampai keesokan hari nya kita sarapan dan setelah sarapan kita bersiap-siap untuk ke pink beach untuk snorkeling. unfortunately kita ga bisa snorkeling karena malamnya hujan dan ternyata itu mempengaruhi visibility di dalam air. tapi ga papa lah yaa....
akhirnya kita putusin untuk balik lagi ke resort leyeh-leyeh dan nunggu waktu check out tiba sampai diantar ke airport.

antara sedih harus kembali ke jakarta karena setelah ini kita benar-benar akan berpisah dan tidak akan bertemu lagi, but as you always said to me that i feel sad firstly but i must be happy in the long run...

When you have to say Good Bye for your Lover....

The world is not ours, we must move on...................

Have you ever in the tough condition like this? you don't want to, but you have to say good bye...
now i have to struggle with my pain even i believe that time heals almost all the wound but its not happen to me.
day by the day i still struggle with my sadness.

sometimes i got crazy idea that i have to throw away my panty in the sea to avoid the bad luck.
ahahahaha. kinda silly.
but they said that when you got broken heart so you will do such silly things many times.
