YATS COLONY YOGYAKARTA

I have been hearing so many people raved about this new hotel in Jogja prior staying here so this was my home for two nights with friends on our latest visit here. Before I move further do note that this won't exactly be a hotel review and more like a gallery post of the hotel & its surrounding as I didn't take any picture of the room interior (I totally forgot wtf), but one thing that I can tell you I had a pretty good stay and sleep for those two nights: most likely because of the comfy bed and the cloudy pillow.

SUPER LOCO JAKARTA

Had lunch earlier today at Union Group's latest exciting establishment: Super Loco, which has been operating (as this post's written) for around 1 week. Since the first day guests have filled up their waiting list that I couldn't even put my name on it and have to wait another week to be able to come (and none of the shortcut shit by contacting the PR directly).

BLUE BAND MASTER OLEH-OLEH: WINNER REVEALED

Initially wanted to share this post earlier as I have finished with the photo edits around two-three weeks ago but I have been extremely busy with my travels that I have to keep a lot of posts pended, apology to that but I am now writing & sharing my experience attending the Blue Band Master Oleh-Oleh winner announcement that took place in Plataran Dharmawangsa.

PORT FIVE SIX - GADING SERPONG

Earlier today I went to have lunch with my brother at one of the newest brunch cafes and eatery in Gading Serpong: Port Five Six in which my good friend William Gozali played a big role in here starting from the deco to of course what he does best: FOOD.

LA MAISON JAKARTA - GRAND INDONESIA

For those who have been waiting for the arrival and are fans of this establishment, your wish is granted, LA MAISON IS OFFICIALLY OPENING ITS FIRST JAKARTA STORE TODAY! It's located at Grand Indonesia East Mall precisely beside H&M, the pink outlet and the huge La Maison sign should be eyecatching enough to notice as soon as you arrive from the main East Mall entrance.

THE FAKE FAME (AND THE DIRT) OF BUYING FAKE INSTAGRAM FOLLOWERS AND LIKES!

putting this picture as the post header because after writing this post I need something calm to see

I have been wanting to write about this particular post for quite some time, it has been around my 'draft' and I don't know, something struck me today and motivated me to write about this. It is a topic that has been talked about since my early Instagram days and as Instagram has grown to this giant, more and more people cheat their way to Instagram fame in a very non-sense way, so non-sense that most of them are not ashamed by it.

MARTY'S SMOKEHOUSE BANDUNG

One of the good new findings from my latest Bandung trip has got to be this newly opened steakhouse (as this post is written: 2 months old) located also not too far from Sejiwa. Marty's Smokehouse is located in Vio Hotel Cimanuk but I am not 100% percent sure if the restaurant is part of the hotel's F&B or the owner actually owns both property, there are two entrances to the restaurant, one's via the hotel entrance and then turn right, or you can directly go from outside where they have this tiny door directly to their semi-outdoor seating.

SEJIWA COFFEE BANDUNG

Sejiwa is one of the newcomers on Bandung's growing coffee scene and based on my visit I already had great feeling that this is going to be the next 'it' hot spot packed with more youngsters/families. Why? Keep reading.

YOFORIA YOGURT STUDIO - BANDUNG

So I literally just arrived back from Bandung, couldn't sleep and in the mood to write something, I slept the whole time on the way and now feeling so refreshed, especially after taking a bath, thought I just share you my experience visiting this very happening pop-up Yogurt studio located in Paris Van Java Bandung: Yoforia!

LEGOLAND MALAYSIA

Finally back to blogosphere after a quite long hiatus! Quick update I have been travelling non-stop and will be this entire January I'll barely be in Jakarta this month. Writing this post from my hotel room in Bali, you know how I love blogging and writing so much that if I don't update I feel like I am semi-ignoring my passion and I am not happy about it, it's this totally different this feeling than where you're obligated to do so. I never owe anybody anything or pressured to losing loyal readers, I blog because I love it and I feel updating.

THE NEW WD PASSPORT

To my surprise, besides food and travel, gadget review is something that's sort of highly anticipated here in my blog, and everytime, I repeat EVERYTIME I post something that has to do with my photography gear or external storage, along comes the requests for a short review, just like this one when I uploaded this on my Instagram Stories and Snapchat around a week ago.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017! (AND FREE NEW YEAR PHOTOSHOP CURVE FOR YOU!)
