i can't call it a holiday, this is a get away and 1 week to find away and guts to stay in Jogja as soon as possible, AMIEEEEN...!!!

me and Ay stay in a guest house in Jl. Am. Sangaji it's a Griyo Sastrowardoyo, and from the name you can guest who's the owner of this old house. it's a homey taste house full with old interior and furniture, love it so :)



we spent a lot of time in the road. down the street that once we passed the time when we were in a date,hehe... jogja is rainy in that times but we still have a happy time to drive our motorcycle down the road...:)

so looooong story to recap, but the point is yes we always fallin love with this city and hope we can reach our dream as soon as possible. and Jogja looks so really sad when the time we must have to say goodbye to them, the rain is fallin so so soooo hard that afternoon, our flight is delay, we came in Soeta in 9pm. and now ready to work hard to get our dreams: for Jogja 2011 !!!
