Second, the maestro himself great respect for his work with saving his best and is very rarely sold except to his best friend in the world. Third, the maestro had loved Bali so that the maestro is synonymous with breath Bali.
One of the maestro's dream is to have its own museum. He desperately wanted the people in the world one day be able to enjoy almost all his work in a museum that collects his early works to the most advanced. Because the soul devotion and sincerity in art, coupled commitment to myself, finally the maestro to fulfill his dream by founding The Blanco Renaissance Museum in Ubud residence in the past in 1999. "People worldwide have come to Bali if you want to see my work," he said when he was still aspire to have a museum.
The now-familiar Blanco Renaissance Museum The Blanco Museum called-has been established. But the manager of the museum felt the need to equip the museum with something else that supports the comfort of visitors. Among them is a beautiful garden, lush and shady with a trickling fountain in the front yard of museums, many rare birds such as cockatoos, parrots and starlings white, gallery displaying the works of Mario Blanco and gift shop that sells an attractive accessory. "All of these features for the convenience of visitors," said Mario Blanco.

For the maestro, the most delicious dishes are made by his wife Ni Rondji. "Never happened several times my dad had to get out of Bali and when given the other dishes, he could not spend their food because it was used to his wife's cooking. Therefore, for my father, the most delicious cuisine is the cuisine Ni Rondji wife, "said Mario Blanco.
That way, the name Rondji Restaurant is a form of respect to the memory of the Blanco family and respect for the family Rondji Ni Blanco, Ni Rondji known as a wife / mother a good cook and very delicious cooking results and liked by the whole family. And most fond of Ni Rondji dishes instead of the maestro himself a hard switch to other cuisines. "So, all of which complement the existence of the museum always has a direct connection with the maestro," said Mario Blanco.

Although Rondji Restaurant relatively high-class restaurant, but it tries to suppress the price so that visitors to the museum / restaurant is not too heavy with the prices of the menu presented. "At least the middle class can enjoy our dishes. In fact, there are many visitors to the museum after museum eventually wander off fatigue in Rondji Restaurant and without awkward book based menu in the menu list.

Referral taste of foreign cuisine presented in Rondji Restaurant certainly can not be separated from Ubud environment where a lot of foreign tourists who visit here. "We therefore can not negate their tastes," added Mario Blanco.
As is known, foreign tourists every day visiting The Blanco Museum, and not least among them taking the time to stop by Rondji Restaurant which is located at the museum complex. It is quite possible they tried to top-level menus are served restaurant. "All that we serve menu inspired from different countries and we serve back with a touch of our own.

Tukang Foto Keliling (TFK) “Sederhana tapi Berwawasan”


Beruntung sekali, kali ini saya mendapat kesempatan untuk mengenal dan bergabung dengan keluarga besar Tukang Foto Keliling. Tidak hanya itu, saya juga berkesempatan untuk berbincang-bincang dengan Komandan Tukang Foto Keliling : ,“Nyoman Sujana”, yang akrab disapa “bli Man”,
Menurut penuturan Nyoman Sujana ; “Tukang Foto Keliling adalah komunitas terbuka bagi penyuka seni Fotografi, .TFK bukan hanya sekedar group hoby foto,TFK sudah seperti keluarga.Di keluarga TFK,sharing tentang foto benar-benar terbuka. Tidak ada sesuatu yang dirahasiakan, baik itu tehnik pengambilan foto, sampai cara pengeditan foto.”
Komunitas Fotografi yang tergolong unik ini bermarkas di Pulau Dewata Bali, TFK belum ada basecamp khusus,. Untuk sementara, kantor Nyoman Sujana yang terletak di “Baliwis spa-Nusa Dua” dijadikan sebagai tempat berkumpulnya para anggota TFK.
TFK terbentuk sekitar 7 bulan yang lalu. Berawal dari pertemuan7 orang dengan hoby yang sama, diantaranya : Nyoman Sujana,Yande Zetia,Dewa Enggung Susila,Dayu,Wayan Benny Saputra,Gede Sumanjaya,dan Merta Yasa,, .Dari pertemuan tersebut,Yande Zetia mengusulkan untuk membentuk komunitas fotografi yang bisa dijadikan wadah bagi penyuka seni fotografi,sekaligus sebagai sarana untuk belajar bersama,berbagi ilmu dan menambah wawasan dalam bidang fotografi. Akhirnya mereka sepakat untuk membentuk komunitas fotografi dengan nama “Tukang Foto Keliling (TFK)”.
Disepakatinya nama “Tukang Foto Keliling” sebagai nama komunitas, karena nama tersebut dirasa lebih sederhana, tidak mau egois menamakan diri Fotografi. Nyoman Sujana juga menambahkan ,”sebagian besar keluarga TFK adalah fotografer-fotografer pemula dengan keterbatasan alat. Hampir semua keluarga TFK menggunakan kamera dan lensa yang sederhana, namun keluarga TFK selalu berusaha untuk memberikan hasil yang terbaik, tidak kalah dengan yang menggunakan kamera mahal.”
Tidak hanya memotret model, TFK juga memotret kebudayaan , landscape,even-even,dll. Untuk saat ini, TFK memang lebih sering memotret dengan konsep model dan hunting lokasi.,. Model disini juga sudah menjadi bagian dari keluarga TFK, tidak ada istilah bayar-membayar untuk model. TFK juga sebagai wadah untuk proses belajar. Baik model ataupun fotografer bisa belajar untuk menambah wawasan dan konsep dalam foto. Tidak hanya sekedar memotret dan dipotret tanpa hasil yang tidak bermanfaat.
Sebagai orang yang dipercaya untuk menjadi komandan TFK, Nyoman Sujana berharap, ;untuk kedepannya TFK bisa terus menjadi wadah berbaginya ide dan pengalaman seputar fotografi yang bisa membuat keluarga besar TFK menjadi semakin maju,selalu berkarya dan berusaha mendapatkan hasil yang terbaik tanpa melanggar norma.
Sampai saat ini,Tukang Foto Keliling beranggotakan lebih dari 130 orang. Bagi yang ingin bergabung dengan keluarga TFK ,bisa join di http://www.facebook.com/groups/167956969911454/ ….
Good Luck TFK!! Salam jepret-jepret :D

NOVEMBER 13TH – DARK MOON - TILEM KALIMA
The Balinese adhering to the Hindu Dharma religion will celebrate 'Tilem' in temple ceremonies, which are mostly held in every major temple and family shrines around the island of Bali. On this day Hindus make offerings to the Gods, placed on the ground at the entrance of each housing compound. The aim is to beg God's grace; so that one's dark thoughts will be illuminated by Him.

NOVEMBER 15TH – TAHUN BARU HIJRIYAH 1434
Today marks the first month of the Islamic New Year and calendar, also known as 1 Muharram 1433. It is celebrated in Indonesia as a national holiday therefore all banks, government offices and some commerce will be closed.

NOVEMBER 17TH – BALINESE BLESSING CEREMONY - HARI TUMPEK KADANG
Tumpek Kandang Day is dedicated to animals. This Balinese Hindu ceremony is held every 210 days to honour and bless livestock and domesticated animals. The name Tumpek Kandang is derived from two words, 'Tumpek', which means Saturday and 'Kandang' being the Balinese word for cage. This special day honours nature and in particular cows will be washed in the rivers and adorned, pigs will have their bellies washed & wrapped in cloth, as well as being given specially chosen food. The Balinese believe this will bring their livestock and themselves more prosperity. Prayers will be held at the temples across the island.

NOVEMBER 28TH – FULL MOON - PURNAMA KANEM
The full moon (which has particular importance to the Balinese Hindus) falls on this day and ceremonies are held throughout the Hindu temples all across Bali. The Balinese that adhere to the Hindu Dharma religion will take offerings of food, fruit and flowers to the temple to be blesses by the priest. The Balinese themselves are then blessed by performing various rituals using holy water, incense smoke, petals and rice grains.
