Bandung Spot - Tebing Keraton

Hello guys! This time I wanna tell you some beautiful place in my lovely hometown, Bandung. I know, Bandung has many beautiful spots that we can visit them. That probably makes us puzzled where we will go if we spent holiday in this beautiful city. But now I'll tell you one of the beautiful spot in Bandung, called " Tebing Keraton".

Tebing Keraton is located in Cibural, the north of Bandung. This place was founded by the hiker that were going around that place. He found the beautiful place to see the view, so he were initiative to build some place for many peoples to see the magnificent of this place just like him. And why it is named "Tebing Keraton"? Well, the residents around said there was a supernatural palace on that cliff. That was so creepy, so don't do any inappropiate things there. But don't worry, now the place is safe to be visited.

This place was very high, you must go up for 10 kilometers from "Taman Hutan Raya Bandung". The way to there was so rough and narrow, so you must go with a well-sized car that can fit with the rocky road. At some place that near the destination, there was a bikers that offer you to transport you to the top. But I recommend you DON'T use them, because that was very expensive with the charge around 50.000 rupiahs. If your transporation is enough for climbing on final stage, just use yours and ignore their offers.

After the roughness of the way to get there, you'll see the beautifulness from one of "heaven" in this world. Just with a cost of 10.000 per person, you can enjoy the fatastic point of view from the north of Bandung. You can see the pine forest, cliffs, river, and the mountain there in one pack. I recommend you to get there on the sunset, when you can see the sun goes down with the gorgeus view of nature. But remember, don't go back too late beacuse there was no traffic light on the way. Oh yes, don't forget to bring a camera to take some photos, like me that take this photos just with a handphone camera.

Hope this helps you to find some cool spots on Bandung :)

Song - Beautiful Life (Maliq & d'essentials)

Hello everyone! Now I wanna tell you some song that sung by Indonesian jazzy band, Maliq & d'Essentials. This is the first song at their album "The Beginning Of A Beautiful Life" that contributed at 2010. Now let's see the lyrics and enjoy the music.

 

Lyrics:

If we believe in something and we just keep on trying
We will survive We will survive
If we believe in something and we just keep on trying
We will survive We will survive

This is what I named a beautiful life
Where we visualize the dreams we had
There’s no wrong or right when it come from the heart
Just be thankful God for what we’ve shared

Let’s go back to one night it was
on Wednesday as I remembered it was 15th of May
I sang Badu and some Maxwell too
We played a repertoire that others don’t do
Thought we got no money and still doing it for free
For the sake of Music And Live Instrument Quality
Didn’t think the would love it or even understand it
But they actually sang and danced long as we kicked it

This is what I named a beautiful life
Where we visualize the dreams we had
There’s no wrong or right when it come from the heart
Just be thankful God for what we’ve shared

From bar to bar or a café Every Friday or sometime on weekdays
I sing like a bird at night until 2
Never get tired for this something true
It’s been our intention to shared our experiences
For you and I to find our path to self realization
Now I’m grateful for all the struggles
Cause through it all we become strong fighters

This is what I named a beautiful life
Where we visualize the dreams we had
There’s no wrong or right when it come from the heart
Just be thankful God for what we’ve shared

It’s a beautiful life Act from the heart when you play your part
It’s a beautiful life When you survive and everything is alright
It’s a new beginning of a beautiful life

It’s a beautiful life When you survive and everything is alright
and it's alright

Review:

This song has the meaningful lyrics. They told "If we believe in something and we just keep on trying
We will survive" , And then also "It’s a beautiful life When you survive and everything is alright". That means if we believe in something (God) we will can survive living in this world. When we can survive, everything's gonna be alright, and then you'll get the meaning of the "Beautiful Life". So, this song tells us to enjoy the life that made our life feels beautiful. But don't forget that the beautiful life is the bless of the God. Like as they said, "Just be thankful God for what we’ve shared"

Besides of the meaning, this song has a nice music arrangement that had the genre of Jazz (my favorite genre of music,tho). The singer (Indah, the female singer of Maliq & d'Essentials) voice and the music was very match, so this song heard very colorful like a beautiful of the life. Cool, isn't it?
