If someone asked me what is my favorite month throughout the year, I would definitely answer... December.

December means a lot to me. Since I was 18 years old, I live seperately from my parents. When I was in university, my parents lived in Yogya and moved to Banjarmasin and finally settled in Solo. So, when December came, I went to these towns. Yes, every Christmas I come home to my dear family.

Since I work in Jakarta, it's kinda difficult for me to visit my parents between my works. Usually I take short leaves in certain months and visit them. But, visit them in December in Christmas season is a must.

Why do I love Christmas? Why do I always wait December?
This special month, every Christmas makes my heart warm. I can tell you that  I feel love everywhere.
No, we don't have such things like exchange gifts and become a secret Santa or something like that. We even stop having Christmas tree! I think it's solely because my parents don't want to spend hours to decorate the tree and put in once again in the box. Wasting their time. Hahaaa.

We just go to church in Christmas eve together, have a nice family dinner and do talking and talking and talking about anything. We laugh and we share anything.

This what I really need. My family is my rock, my safety net. They believe in me and I trust them with my heart.

I know Christmas is not the only day I can feel this way, but it still has the 'magic'.
To gather a family, to warm your heart.

So, Christmas means family.
Family means everything.

How do you enjoy your December? How do you live up your Christmas?

Happy new year 2015.
There are so many wishes, prayers and expectations for 2015.
People tend to make new resolutions in the beginning of the year, eventhough most of the then will forget about it as time goes by. And they will try to fulfill the resolutions when they realize that it comes to the end of the year. Those people are just like me. :)

For years I made so many resolutions and at the end of the year, only 50-60% were accomplished.

So for this year, I just want to make simple resolutions.

To be good, do good, give good, say good.
To be better, do better, make something better.

I know I can do it. God will lead me the way.
Oo.. One more thing. In 2015 I will get married!!

'Words are, of course, the most powerful drug used by mankind'
-Rudyard Kipling-

Mulutmu harimaumu. Itu dulu. Sekarang semakin berkembang. Celotehanmu, harimaumu. Baik celotehan secara lisan dan langsung ataupun lewat tulisan.
Yang sekarang lagi ramai diperbincangkan orang tentu saja celotehan lewat media sosial dan juga blog.

Semua orang bebas berpendapat, semua orang wajib mempertanggungjawabkan pendapatnya. Jadi seandainya celotehan asal dan memang sejatinya saat itu hal tersebut benar-benar dirasakan dan langsung dituangkan ke media sosial, orang tersebut harus sudah tahu resikonya. Dipuji, didukung, dihujat, dicaci maki. Semua bisa terjadi.

Kalau tidak siap dengan segala konsekuensinya, lebih baik diam saja. Atau jangan tuangkan di media sosial. Karena tahu sendiri lah, betapa cepatnya segala sesuatu menyebar lewat media sosial. Seperti virus. Hitungan jam, menit, detik, pujian dan hujatan bisa datang bertubi-tubi.

Berhati-hatilah dengan semua pikiranmu, perkataanmu dan tindakanmu.

The power of words, you have the power to unleash it. Use it wisely.
