Bersama sembilan orang teman saya dari Komunikasi Unair, kami berangkat dari Surabaya dengan rute Gubeng, Surabaya - Terminal Bungurasih, Surabaya - Terminal Arjosari, Malang - Pantai Sendang Biru - Pulau Sempu.

Menyebrang ke Pulau Sempu
Meski dalam perjalanan diguyur hujan, namun perjalanan kami tetap menyenangkan. Sesampainya di Pulau Sempu, kami harus menyusuri hutan sepanjang 2,4 Km untuk sampai ke lokasi camp di Segara Anakan. Akibat hujan yang terus mengguyur, jalanan yang kami lewati menjadi licin, berlumpur, dan becek. Beberapa dari kami pun sempat terjatuh berkali-kali.

Setelah dua jam menyusuri hutan, sampailah kami di Segara Anakan. Dengan rasa bahagia setelah perjalanan panjang, kami pun langsung menceburkan diri disana. Karena hari sudah mulai gelap, kami mendirikan tenda untuk tempat beristirahat di malam harinya. Perut-perut pun mulai keroncongan, untungnya kami sudah menyiapkan bekal dari Surabaya untuk dimasak di sana. Mie Goreng, Sosis, Roti dan Snack menjadi teman kami disana.

Pulau Sempu yang sekarang agak berbeda dari cerita yang saya baca di beberapa blog. Mereka bercerita mengenai keindahan Pulau Sempu tanpa ada kekurangannya. Disana saya melihat sendiri bagaimana masih banyak sampah yang ditinggalkan para pengunjung. Saya sedikit kecewa juga mengetahui hal itu, kenapa mereka tidak membawa kembali sampah yang sudah mereka buat?

Namun, Pulau Sempu tetap indah dimata saya. Airnya yang jernih, karang bolong, hutannya yang hijau membuat saya tetap merindukan Pulau Sempu. Alangkah baiknya jika pengunjung menjaga kebersihan dan tidak membuat sampah di sana.

Christina Perri - For A Thousand Years


Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
But watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Maroon 5 - Just A Feeling



"Just A Feeling"

I watched you cry
Bathed in sunlight
By the bathroom door
You said you wished you did not love me anymore

You left your flowers in the backseat of my car
The things we said and did have left permanent scars
Obsessed depressed at the same time
I can't even walk in a straight line
I've been lying in the dark no sunshine
No sunshine
No sunshine

She cries
This is more than goodbye
When I look into your eyes
You're not even there
It's just a feeling
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have, oh yeah

Cause I can't believe that it's over

You've hit your low
You've lost control and you want me back
You may not believe me but I gave you all I had
Undress confess that you're still mine
Roll around in a bed full of tears
I'm still lying in the dark no sunshine
No sunshine
No sunshine

She cries
This is more than goodbye
When I look into your eyes
You're not even there

It's just a feeling
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have

No I can't believe that it's over now
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have

So much to say
It's not the way she does her hair
It's the way she seems to stare right through my eyes
And in my darkest day when she refused to run away
From love she tried so hard to save

It's just a feeling
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have

It's just a feeling
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have
Just a feeling
Just a feeling that I have

I can't believe that it's over
I can't believe that it's over
Now I can't believe that's it's over, yeah
