Eat Pray Love

I have red the book, I have seen most of the places where the story took place and have met some of the people  who were big part of the Bali chapter. They have made a movie out of the story and some of the shooting was in my village and I really can not wait to see the whole movie.

When you look on the above picture, it was exactly the road that I drive through almost everyday and enjoying the beauty of that  green paddy field. Sometimes, I would drive through early in the morning when the sun rises behind the coconut trees reflecting its light on the flooded field, sparkling on the morning dew on the green grass along the dike of the paddy field. But there is always be a fabulous sunset that I would be pampered with in some of my days driving through this tranquil village with its stunning panorama over rice paddies and sacred mountains in a distance.

Mr. Ketut Liyer who was in the book Eat Pray Love is a famous Balinese healer around Ubud and  I have known since 1996 when I used to accompany a group from the US to do palm reading and also getting the magic drawing. He is such a great man and I always enjoyed myself being there and listening to his funny English that always made our group were laughing every time that he was speaking to us. Oh well, I should had gotten my palm reading at the first time that I met him but I never did which I am feeling sorry about it now. I wish that I did...

A few weeks ago I was taking my Aussie friend there visiting his home but It was so unfortunate for us as he was in the hospital. He has been complaining about his health just like what it was written on the book. I am just hoping that he would be home soon and could give his service again for the visitors as surely there are a lot of them coming for a visit everyday since people red the book.

The Sun is still shining

It has been quit a while that I haven't written anything on this blog. Life has been keeping me busy and there have been so much going on in my life that has taken so much of my limited energy. Sometimes, I feel so tired and not really eager to go on and wish that my time is up at this moment. It would be a lot easier as I am not sure what I would expect to go further. It is all about the same from day to day and it seems that it is not worth it. It feels like it is just a waste of time.

When I see the sun rising on the east, it seems that it is going to give me a better hope for a better day and at least that I can still feel the warmth of its light that is shining down through the foliage around my little home.

Maybe, I should try to go on and feel the warmth of its light to energize me to accomplish my tasks that has been given to my temporal life. A life that is filled with disappointment, depression, failure and frustration. Even though, I often think that those are the things that teach me to be mature and giving me a certain value of my life.

As long as the sun is shining on me, I know that I have to live on and do my best.
