CINDERELLA


I guess you think you know this story.
You don’t. The real one’s much more gory.
The phoney one, the one you know,
Was cooked up years and years ago,
And made to sound all soft and sappy
Just to keep the children happy.
Mind you, they got the first bit right,
The bit where, in the dead of night,
The Ugly Sisters, jewels and all,
Departed for the Palace Ball,
While darling little Cinderella
Was locked up in a slimy cellar,
Where rats who wanted things to eat,
Began to nibble at her feet.
She bellowed ‘Help!’ and ‘Let me out!’
The Magic Fairy heard her shout.
Appearing in a blaze of light,
She said, ‘My dear, are you all right?’
‘All right?’ cried Cindy. ‘Can’t you see
‘I feel as rotten as can be!’
She beat her fist against the wall,
And shouted, ‘Get me to the Ball!
‘There is a Disco at the Palace!
‘The rest have gone and I am jealous!
‘I want a dress! I want a coach!
‘And earrings and a diamond brooch!
‘And silver slippers, two of those!
‘And lovely nylon panty-hose!
‘Done up like that I’ll guarantee
‘The handsome Prince will fall for me!
’The Fairy said, ‘Hang on a tick.
’She gave her wand a mighty flick 
And quickly, in no time at all

Colorado Trip

So this has been sitting in my draft since 2017 omg. I set you free. Living in Miami Beach is fun, not much different from Bali. I have to say that Bali has the best beaches. The weather in Miami can be really crazy, then winter comes and it's cold, the wind is super cold. We didn't expect it to be that cold. Okay, so let's have a real winter vacation with snow. We went to Colorado and just had a small chill party. Yes my first snow. We had the best time! This is the view from Cindy's bedroom. So pretty! Me and Leona The apartment is sooooo nice. I wanna live there forever Nardy is taking the picture? Byron Avenue kiddos (7/8)

Leke-Leke, Hidden Waterfall in Bali

Hello guys! How are you? Last week, I saw some photos of this waterfall in Instagram and began my research. It turns out, one of my close friend know this place. The waterfall is located in his grandpa's village and Hendra used to go there as a kid. So he asked me if I wanna go there and of course I said yes hahaha. Photo by Vanessa ( @__vaily__ ) just so you guys see what it's like before rain This enchanting waterfall is Leke - Leke or also known as Kipuan Kebo Waterfall by the locals. It takes about 1,5 hours drive from Denpasar. We put Hendra's car in his grandpa's house, then we borrowed their motorbikes to reach the entrance. The trek down took us 25 minutes from the entrance in Sulangai Village. The trek is slippery especially during rainy season. The rain started just right when we arrived. We unpacked our lunch and decided to wait. We waited for 2 hours total until it stopped completely. Hendra, Suci and Leona. It is very nice before

Oh Transportation Problem

Bali is way different once you live here. I must say that it's really difficult to get around the island if you don't have any car or motorbike, just like I do. I have to think of a different way to get to places. Sure you can use the public transportations here, such as Trans Sarbagita or Kura-Kura Bus, but they aren't everywhere.
