More Brighter Year

Before this year ends, i would like to say that this year has been really really a good year for me. I learned so much things, that i can't tell every details here, but here is 3 things I learned and experienced in 2012:

♥ When you want something so bad, go get it, work for it, do the best to get it. Coz if you don't, you can never have it. But if you do, at least you get a chance to have it. There's one thing i really really want this year, at first i was not sure if i can have it, i was afraid to go for it, too afraid. Then i thought "if i don't try, i will never know if i can have it", I decided to go for it. And you know what, i failed. But amazingly no regret, no regret like "oh man, why do i have to do it in the first place?", of course i was upset, but i had no regret, at least I've done the best to get it, at least I've tried, at least i don't die wondering about the answer. Though the answer was not good, but I felt revealed that i finally knew the answer.
♥ Cherish every little moments that happen in your life. This year I learned to cherish every little things that happen around me, every cares from people around me, every loves people give me. I used to be careless and inattentive person, but this year i learned to be more caring, more warm, give more attention to other people around me instead of focusing on myself. Balancing between your family time, best friend time, working time, and the-me-time.
♥ Don't worry about the people who hate you, worry about the people who love you. Can't more agree to this quote. I felt so bad when i realized I spent more time on people who hate me then I ignore the people who love me. Like, how rude i am to ignore the people who love me just because i was focusing on people who hate me.

I'd say that this year is one of the best year in my life.
I loved, I got broken heart, I cried, I struggled, I made mistake, I suffered, I learned, I cherished, I grew up, I smiled, I laughed. 

Like everything happened in this year, I am grateful I survive this year and learned so many things. Now I am ready for more brighter year!

Giving

Setiap kali gw pulang dari Puri Mall, gw selalu lihat ada bapak bersama 2 anaknya di jalanan depan Puri Mall. Mereka duduk di pinggir jalan, dengan gerobak di samping mereka. Mungkin Bapak itu pekerjaannya pemulung sampah. Setiap kali lewat, gw selalu berkata dalam hati "yah mall uda tutup, gw gak punya makanan buat dikasih, nanti besok-besok kalau ke sini lagi, gw beli makanan untuk mereka" dan setiap kali gw datang lagi, gw pun selalu lupa untuk beli makanan. Dan setiap kali gw lupa, gw merasa bersalah, tapi ya udah sampe situ doang, rasa bersalah hilang, lalu gw pun lupa.

Sampai pada tanggal 24 Desember, gw dan teman-teman keliling Jakarta Barat dan sekitarnya untuk bagi makanan ke anak jalanan, gw teringat lagi si bapak dan 2 anaknya di depan Puri Mall itu. Dari rencana kami, daerah Puri gak masuk dalam daftar tempat yang akan dikunjungi, karena di situ termasuk daerah elit dan tidak ada anak jalanan. Gw di dalam hati gelisah, karena selain gak masuk daftar, Puri Mall itu jauh dari tempat-tempat yang akan dikunjungi, otomatis akan memakan waktu untuk ke sana. Setelah menimbang-nimbang, pikir-pikir, akhirnya gw putuskan untuk bilang ke teman-teman, gw kepengen banget ke daerah depan Puri Mall. Dan mereka setuju. Yay! Sambil berharap semoga bapak itu ada di depan Puri Mall. Ketika sampai sana, ternyata dia ada! bersama 2 anaknya. Senang bukan main.

I felt like I'm doing the right thing. And felt so glad to have a chance to give them something. Like you did something that can make someone happy, you saw their happy face, just a "makasih" can make you feel so good, you felt something in your heart. You know, true that it is happier to give than to receive, like Jesus said.

Japan ♥

Yay! finally got a chance to go to Japan! so excited when i knew i can go there, cause Japan is one of my bucket lists :D you know, like oh my goodness, it's Japan! Its food, its  culture, its kawaii things, and so many interesting things about Japan. So, here i wanna share some things about my trip to Nippon. Long post alert :p

My family and I went there in November, coz they said that's the best time to enjoy autumn leaves. We stayed in Kyoto for 9 Days, at K's House Kyoto. I really like this place, coz it's so cozy, clean and comfortable. The room is simple, there are a twin bed, a table, and an air conditioner. Yes, there is no toilet in every bed room here, but don't worry the toilets are so neat and clean even for spoiled child like me hehehe. But If you are looking for a fancy room, then K's House Kyoto is definitely not for you.

At the beginning of our trip, for 3 days in a row we visited many temples around Kyoto just to enjoy autumn leaves and the view. All i saw was red, orange, and yellow along the way. Luckily, we found a blooming cherry blossom tree coz it was impossible to find cherry blossom in autumn.
