WELCOME TO BALI

It has always been difficult for me to describe Bali.
No matter how hard I try to explain it to you, you won't get it till you experienced it yourself!
Okay, so last July, i went to bali with my girls along with Mom, illy, gibran and Mateus Sanchez (Gibran's really cool Brazilian partner).

So let me just put up some of the pictures we took






arrived at ngurah rai airport








mamat and gibran


amazing how well all get along


made's warung. respect michael jackson!


don't even think about the price.
















a midnight birthday surprise at kuta beach, all planned by illy.














bebek bengil
























dream land

and so zap zap 4 days felt like an hour.


kisses to bali and my bali peeps.

what happened last summer?

Haven't really write a blog before so i guess the first post is always the introduction.

I'm Gabriela Lubaba, went to California last year for college. At first I thought wow, I'm gonna be a freshman and its gonna be a new step for me and its gonna be freakin cool with all the hot guys. BUT!
NOT AS EXCITING AS I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE.

it was great at first, cos there's like tons of indos in my campus so i thought it'll be great making friends from our own homeland.
and also, communication will be easier. D'OH!
1st month, got help from indo people. mom and i are so lucky to meet them.
2nd month, the welcome party, mmmm not as welcoming as i thought.
3rd month,ugh dont even have to write it down. tambah dosa kan ngomongin orang.
many other issue that had made me feel so uncomfortable living here.

day after day, week after week, month after month,
and comes the
SUMMER
!!!!

THE MOMENT I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR.
and by the way, not only cos its fuckin cold down here during spring, its also because
IM GOING TO SPENT THE REST OF MY SUMMER IN
INDONESIA MY HOMELAND.

ooh and by the way, a few weeks before my departure, I met this guy in this end of college party at sacramento,
his name's PAUL. he is suuuuuch a sweet guy. we went on three to four dates but i gotta get my ass to indo so bye paul.
and that moment i thought, im gonna see him real soon though so no worries.
oh and he's gonna cruise with the school to south america. But I lost contact with him. I'll tell you why.

not long after that,
I arrived at changi airport, my last transit and there she is, my mom, walking towards me and give me huggies and kixxes.
well, i was 16 and didnt see my family for 5 months so..

and the story of the best summer ever begun.

So this people right here play a big role in my most unforgettable best summer ever story.

LUBNA SHERRIN, her so called nick name illy, my other half.



GIBRAN BILAL RAMADHAN, gibran. but dad called him "kiplan", long story.



FEBRY MARSHALL, cina



CHAYREN OLIVIA HERMAN or also known as oli



YASHINTA SALIM or yaya



RIA LIM LAOWADY, na



MY DANCE CREW, FDC (Forever Dance Crew - Miss Moniq, Abe, Andri, Wandy, Resham, Michelle, Oli, Vida, Morin, Naya and many more)



lastly,

the most important person in the story, the person i least expect to meet in indo, the person i avoid to be in contact with for the last 1 year and a half, the person i've been fighting with for a year non-stop, yet the person that had made last summer my best ever,

RHEZA FABIANTO SEBASTIAN or also known as, my boyfriend (was my ex)




So you see, there are many important event happened last summer. I'm just gonna write it down on a new post.

kisses.
