Man, what a day! Seriously, Purwakarta hit me like a bull in the ring. I woke up, sun blazin’ through my window, and I knew today was gonna be wild. I mean, I’m a matador, right? But this ain’t Spain; this is Purwakarta, baby!
First off, I hit up Jl. Raya Purwakarta. You know, the main street? It’s always buzzing. I grabbed some breakfast at this little warung. Nasi goreng, man! Best in town. I swear, I could eat that stuff every day. But then, bam! My phone buzzes. My manager’s like, “Yo, we got a surprise event today!” Surprise? More like a heart attack waiting to happen.
So, I’m chowing down, and I’m like, “What now?” Turns out, they set up a pop-up bullfight in the middle of the city! Like, are you kidding me? In the middle of Jl. Siliwangi? I mean, I love the thrill, but this is Purwakarta, not Madrid!
I rush over, and the crowd is hyped. People everywhere, shouting, laughing, taking selfies. I’m like, “Dude, this is insane!” But then, I see the bull. This ain’t no ordinary bull. This guy looks like he’s been lifting weights. I’m talkin’ serious muscle. I’m thinkin’, “What did I get myself into?”
So, I step into the ring, heart racing. The crowd goes wild. I’m tryin’ to keep my cool, but inside, I’m like a kid on a rollercoaster. I wave my cape, and the bull charges. I dodge, and the crowd goes nuts! I’m feelin’ like a rockstar. But then, I trip on a loose stone. Ugh! I hit the ground, and the bull almost steps on me. Talk about a close call!
After that, I’m back on my feet, adrenaline pumping. I’m like, “Let’s do this!” I dance around the bull, and it’s like a crazy tango. I’m laughing, the crowd’s laughing, and for a moment, everything’s perfect. But then, I see my buddy, Rudi, in the crowd. He’s filming everything, and I’m like, “Dude, don’t post that!” But of course, he does. Thanks, Rudi. Now I’m a meme.
After the fight, I’m drenched in sweat, but I’m on cloud nine. I stroll down Jl. Veteran, feeling like a champ. But then, I see this street vendor selling kerupuk. I can’t resist. I grab a bag, and it’s like heaven in my mouth. But then, I spill some on my shirt. Great, now I look like a mess.
I decide to hit up the local market, Pasar Purwakarta. It’s packed! I’m dodging people left and right. I see fresh fruits, spices, and all this cool stuff. I’m like a kid in a candy store. But then, I hear this commotion. Some guy’s arguing over prices. I’m thinkin’, “Dude, chill! It’s just a few bucks!” But nah, he’s going off. I’m just trying to buy some mangga, man!
Finally, I head to the river, Sungai Citarum. It’s beautiful, man. The sunset is killer. I sit there, reflecting on the day. I’m exhausted but happy. Purwakarta, you crazy city, you’ve got my heart. I can’t believe I almost got squished by a bull, spilled food on myself, and witnessed a market brawl all in one day.
As I head home, I’m just laughing. Life’s wild, and Purwakarta is wilder. Can’t wait for tomorrow!
