Okay, don't be confuse with the title :). Though I always like astronomy, right now I won't talk about it :p. I want talk about a page in Facebook name Starring You. it's great page, since I love star and postcard, haha. Okay I will tell from the beginning when I found this page ;).
So, maybe you all know that I'm old school and one of my "old habit " is to write letter, postcard and other stuff and send it to other people. I'm lucky cos my friend told me about Postcrossing :). And then after that I also join with a group of postcrossers from Indonesia in facebook ( yeah actually before I know about the group, I rarely update my facebook account cos i'm too busy with my twitter, haha but now I become facebook user again :p).
From that group, I met lots of kind people, one of them was Mbak Na, my senior in highscool ( imagine how excited I was when I found out, haha). She told me about the page, Starring You earlier this year. And then I like the page and sent my address via pm and wait for the postcard to be send to my address, hehe. Lucky me, I got my first postcard from Michael, the founder of Starring You when he visited Bulgaria, yeaaayy!!!. Thank you so much for the postcard and the stars Michael! :D.
About the page, so starring You is page that be founded by Michael. He will travel to lots of coutries and send lots of postcards with stars to people around the world that interested :). So if you want a postcard from other coutries, just hurry to like the page!! :D. The page had mission to share as many beautiful places as possible with everybody who's interested. Why postcard? Because it's always nice too look your mailbox and find out beautiful pictures of postcard than just only find bills or advertisement, hehehe.
And why naming Starring You?? hmmm... It's just my assumptions after I talked to Michael, haha. So he told me that he must travel a lot and rarely go to his home country and meet with his family. So he thought that whenever he go, he still could see the same stars as his family would also see in the sky :). Awwww... that's so poetic, haha. and it's true, I like the philosophy, hehe.
Lucky for Indonesia, cos this month finally Michael visit our coutry, hehe. He will go to six cities ( and while I write this, He enjoy Bandung I think, hehe). Lucky again for me cos my city near with one of his destination, Yogyakarta. So we plan to meet up with other postcrossers ( for your information, actually Michael is not postcrosser and he knew about it after long time he already sent postcard on his page :p). As type A, I arranged the meet up. Finally in May, 11 me with other friends can meet up with him, rather funny story in the beginning and in the end, haha. But we all good, I think.
So we took him to Sultan Palace, yogyakarta with andhong ( horse carriage), enjoy the crowded place, yeah it's weekend so the place always crowded with tourists, hehe. When I took him to my favorite spot in the palace, Pringgodani home ( it's home for the Prince once upon a time and full of portraits from generations to generations that being painted by my favorite painter, Raden Saleh, haha). Okay back to the portrait, It's one of the genius of Raden saleh that make such an illusion. So there are the shoes or the eyes of the portrait that would follow and pointed to your direction when you're moved. Haha.. it's really surprised and amused him, I think.
After that we went to eat gudeg, one of tradition food from Yogyakarta. Oh by the way we rode Becak or pedicab. He like the sweet food. And Gudeg is the good choice.
After that he went to Semarang for 2 days and came back to Yogyakarta again in May, 14 ( yeah yeah I know everyone joking that in here I'm being his manager, haha). He visited Lawang Sewu and Masjid Agung Jawa Tengah ( great mosque) and accompanied by mbak Na and other friends from Semarang. He want to Borobudur actually to see the celebration of Vesak, unfortunately the temple not open for tourists during the ceremony. So we took him to have a picnic in othe temple, Prambanan. Hehehe, I really excited with the picnic concept, I think I more enjoy it than him, hahaha.
And it's the last day we can give to him, hehe. In Indonesia Michael meet lots of new people :). and he have lots of fans too :v. He's really famous here, everyone want to take a picture with him :p. And because of that we all made a joke of it, haha.
It's really nice to meet with him, because he's really nice!
Don't forget to send me postcard while you travel again, haha!!
For now, just enjoy Bandung, then Jakarta as the last cities you must visit!
Always take care!!
