my summer holiday

traveling abroad is one of my favorite thing to do. i like to travel and i wish i could travel to all around the world and see the spectacular views of each places and of course for relaxing. simply said, i appreciate all the variances each country has and really want to learn at least one or more thing about its culture. this summer i went to Bali with my friends, spent a week over there and had lots experiences. and on september i went to hongkong, macau, and china for three weeks. nothing really special though, just went shopping, lots of family times and yeah basically not doin so much things there. almost all my aunts are there so we had lots of family time and had fun once in a while. there's my nephew too, and he's totally cute. he's 1 year and a half but he talks like a two and a half yer old boy which is why i love him even more. anyway, i wasnt only remember several streets in hongkong but i also experienced the food. i ate the most popular curry fishball and love it so much!! i also went to china, dont know what's the name of the place but it's my grandpa's village. it's a small village... nuthing's really attract me there. here's some of my holiday pics:

Padang in grief

there's nothing more heartbreaking than to see tons of people are dead and suffering from one of the very deadly catastrophe on earth, an earthquake. Indonesia is one of the worst that dealing with catastrophes. tsunami, earthquake, volcano and flood are four of the most heavy disasters that had happened in this country. a very stabbing reality that we couldn't avoid. everyone's praying and sinking to a very solemn space of their own without compromising. how God has created us into a living being is very beautiful and amazing, but how humans build and run all things He made for us is really not honorable. humans are made to make the earth glows and what we do is mostly the other way around. so while the earth is not taken care properly, of course it will tumble and resulting an awful consequences that we finally have to deal with. it's not just a disaster but also a warning to every one of us to just be a loving and caring people who actually really care about this world. or it could be a sign from God who wants us to see that He's sad with what we did to His creations. Padang was hit by a very extreme earthquakes 7,6 SR strong very recently. Everything is broken and nothing worth left. when i saw pictures and videos of it i mourned and really couldn't say a word. i kept thinking how shock and sad must be those people who are dying inside the crushing building, who are trying to save their life, and of course who missed their family whom they love so much. oh God, show us your pity and forgive us for all mistakes we've made.
