It's raining again. For more than a week now the rain pour down on earth without mercy. There's nothing wrong with that. We should be grateful that we still can enjoy the rain. But when you live in Jakarta, rain is another story that can ruin your plan, schedule even your life. I might change all my schedule for the day if it starts raining. In this so called the capital city of unbelievable country, rain means flood and then major traffic jam everywhere. From the highway, alternate way even some unknown streets, are stuck full with cars, motorcycle, angkot, buses and any other transportation you can name it. In the fast pace of modernity, this city is more than unpleasent to live in.
When so many people still try to make their luck by coming to Jakarta, my Dad had decided to leave this maddness behind since 2002. He chose to come back to his home town, Jogjakarta and has built his activities in rural area far north from the down town of Jogja, called Bayan.
Look out the view!!

Secluded behind this green scenery,
my Dad has found his passion. Working for more than 30 years in an oil company was just a job for him to feed the family. Here, in this remote area, he spends his retired days getting close with the nature, the one thing he loves the most beside his family.
My Dad breeds chicken. Well actually he breeds everything that moves. He has several goats, many ponds of fish, dogs that always produce more puppies in a year, and of course birds.
You must be thinking, it must be a big business to own such things. If you as
k my Dad, he absolutely will say that all these are just hobbies. Of course he sells the chicken or fish and sometimes the goats, but to him the money will go for the operation of this place.
Is he happy living his retired days? I believe so. Even my mom will never understand his fondness toward animals and nature, I guess 35 years of marriages eventually open up her heart to accept the heart of a man she chose to be her husband years ago.
Yearly visit to Jogja is always something that I've been waiting for. It's always a good thing also to change the atmosphere from crowded city to this peacefull place. It's such a bliss that you won't
change with anything. My Mom usually will cook us all the food from this place. The chicken, fish and some vegetables come from my Dad's land. How wonderful it is to have that kind of luxury.
Being close to nature also make him a very down to earth person. As a man comes from this small village far away from the city, he has a very open mind and heart. I guess when you decide to get close with nature, you will have the understanding about the greater power that moves universe. That creates the whole land beautifully. And in the mist of all, it opens up our heart to accept our lives truthfully. My Dad might look scary on the outside. But once you get to know him, he's such a wonderful person with a big heart who listens and respects others.
My Dad is just a simple man who try his best to live life to the fullest.
