Wow, I still can’t believe my eyes (my heart and my soul). My main English blog hasn’t been updated for a while. This contradicts the updates I have for my main Indonesian blog, Soul Hotel. Hehehe, it’s not that I discriminate you. No,,heeee, NO. The fact is I still can’t write interesting things here.

Well, let me try to remember some interesting news happened around me recently. First, it is spring in Groningen now. What to expect? The sun has been brightly friendly lately, so I don’t have to wear thick astronout clothes. The record so far is 22 degree Celcius. People also start to have "praten over koffie" outside the cafe, students study in the park. I don’t know whether people star to remove their clothes and sunbathing in the famous nude lake in Groningen, Hoornsmeer:P.

Second, Indonesia will held its biggest democracy feast, election day, today. Thursday, 9 April 2009, was announced as public holiday so people who have registered as elector may exercise their right. I am still wondering how people will choose their favorite candidate among those hundreds candidates. May the best win!

I think that’s all for today. Ja ne! Mata ashita! Tot morgen!

It’s been more than 3 days in 2009, yet, I haven’t made any remarks about it. It’s not that it is a necessary thing to do. Nah, I am kidding. Of course this is necessary:)). Though, it’s quite traditional to make remarks about this occasion.

The first thing I thought about New Year was that I am very grateful that I can enter this year 2009. I remembered a preacher told me that we have to give thanks to be able entering new year, because not many people can have the opportunity. This sounds positive rather than skeptical for me.

Well, many things can be put in to review from 2008, but I am rather tired now. I don’t want to talk about it here right now, instead, I just want to wish you:

Happy New Year 2009

May this year be prosperous and more importantly, we are blessed with healthiness

About my resolution, I have many lists to accomplish this year. Hopefully, all them can be fulfilled. Good luck with your resolution too.

It’s been a long time since the last post in this blog. I haven’t kept my promise yet. But now, I try to spend sometime to wish something nice to all of you in the world, wherever you are, whenever you read this post, whatever condition or situation you have now.

In this sacred, glorious day and yet, quite gloomy because many problems had by people around the world, I would like to wish you:

Merry Christmas 2008

May this day brings you joy, happiness, and be blessed by having time to gather with your family. May the day becomes meaningful, thoughtful, and inspires you in many positive ways.
