#SevenSummitIndonesia-Kerinci Mount 3805 asl (to be continued......)







This is the time that we flight to Jambi. Last year because i got flight promo ticket Citilink only 110K to Jambi from Jakarta for round trip, then in my mind i wanna going to some places that i never know. So i decided to go to Jambi in Sumatera Island. After that i opened trip in some forums like Kaskus and BPI to find somebody that can follow and join to my journey to climb Kerinci Mount.Honesty if i find hike mates, here we go, but if i can't find no problemo. Amazing i have 11 hike mates after some months looking for. They are Yudhi, Bayu, Idham, Feri, Dika , Fadly, Ziead, Junior, Ade Isnie, Rifky, and me. 10 strong man and 2 woman. First only me as woman who will climb Kerinci Mount with them but one week before the days, my mountaineer friend Ade Isnie asked me to join this trip. Dika and Fadly are from Palembang, and 10 others mountaineer from Jakarta.

The day is coming first day in March, we would go to Jambi, Ade Isnie used Sriwijaya Air lonely from Jakarta to Jambi but earlier than us, Idham used Garuda Airways because he is officer employee in Garuda so that he got free tickets i think..hmmm..makes us so envy, Fadly and Dika were going by travel car from Palembang to Jambi, and the others used Citilink. My mountaineer mates who used Citilink feeling that my ticket is  farther then their tickets. Yap they got normal ticket between 800K-1000K for round trip and me 10x cheaper than them. Sorry guys.

The flight would be landing in 11.00 but in that time we couldn't enter the flight, and surprised we were in wrong gate, C4 for flight to Surabaya, and our plane was C1 but we never heard some information, so we ran quickly and quickly to reach C1 gate, and the attendant said go quickly ran faster, and we were the last people who entered the plane. Feeling worst, and shy we were calm down and silent each other in our chair. One hour air journey from Jakarta in Jambi at 12.15 pm we arrived in Sultan Thaha Airport in Jambi. Welcome to Jambi City, in there Ade Isnie, Fadly, and Dika arrived earlier than us.  After meeting with the driver who would picked up us to Kayu Aro Village starting point to climb Kerinci Mount. 

Decided to get some lunch because we were heavy hungry, and looking for some drinks and foods for our meals along the hike, we went to Hypermart to buy what we needed for journey along 3 days 2 nights, spent 3 hours and half for shoping then here we go to Kayu Aro Village.....

The Power Imbalance When a Diplomat Dates You

  I never imagined that I would find myself entangled in a relationship with a man who held the title of diplomat . There is something inherently powerful about that word — a sense of nobility, intelligence, and integrity. For someone like me, who has always prided herself on being independent, educated, and emotionally resilient, the connection initially felt affirming. I thought, perhaps, I had finally found someone who could walk beside me as an equal. But what I didn’t realize at the time was how easily a title can conceal deeper truths — emotional manipulation , power imbalances, and an unspoken hierarchy that slowly erodes one’s sense of reality. Our story began online, like many modern romances. Joel Runnels introduced himself as a diplomat stationed in Central Asia , working in human rights advocacy . From the beginning, our conversations were intense and intellectually stimulating. He spoke about his work with disabled communities, policy reform, and global diplomacy. The...

When He’s a Different Person Behind Closed Doors

  You’ve probably never heard of Joel Runnels PhD — but in certain circles in Minnesota, he’s considered a quiet hero. A legislative affairs director who has dedicated decades of his professional life to disability rights and working for Minnesota Council on Disability , Joel is the kind of man who shows up at public hearings, writes compassionate policy briefs, and speaks with moral authority about equity, justice, and the need to protect society’s most vulnerable. He works closely with the Deaf community , disabled children, and families who rely on state policy to survive. But I knew another Joel. One who existed far away from the polished conference tables and media headlines. One whose mask would fall the moment the doors closed. And I’m finally ready to talk about him. This isn’t an exposé for the sake of revenge. This is my truth — and it’s also a mirror. Because too often, the people we are told to admire and trust the most are the very ones causing silent destruction behin...

When the Mask Falls: What I Learned After Being Lied to, Cheated On, and Gaslighted by a Diplomat

There’s a unique kind of heartbreak that comes not just from personal betrayal, but from betrayal by someone the world sees as respectable — someone who commands admiration, speaks with poise, and lives behind the diplomatic veil of charm and composure. I never thought I would find myself entangled in the emotionally devastating web of deceit, manipulation, and betrayal — especially not with a man trained to handle international relations, negotiations, and cultural sensitivity. But behind the polished exterior, I discovered a pattern of behavior that had been repeated many times before. A man who had fathered five children with two different women, leaving behind broken trust, confusion, and emotional damage. This is not a story told out of bitterness. It is told out of truth, growth, and a deep desire to help others recognize warning signs — and to choose themselves, every single time. The Charisma Trap He was everything that looked good on paper: well-educated, articulate, intellige...
