I closed the year 2008 almost uncelebrated. My husband was hospitalized since Christmas Eve with multiple complications for two weeks. In July I opened in this post that the year 2008 was probably the worst year since I was born. It might be a little late to post an article about last year when most people already get use to put 09 on every end of the date they write. But I owe it to my self and especially to the year 2008 to list every blessing that I got, like I wrote at the end of that article.
The Year 2008 was not the happiest year indeed but certainly the most inspiring one. That was the very year I found again the meaning of friendship.

Hon,
Do you remember that day when our eyes met for the first time? It was one hot morning with a set of eyes I will never forget. That day, that very second, I claimed you as mine. Yes, as crazy as it may sounds, that moment I said it clearly in my head,
“It’s him”
Hon,
Do you [...]

I haven’t got any good subject to write for a whole month until I read Unquote’s post mentioning about the extra blessing I received. Ehm, allow me to tell you a little secret about it.
I’m not a religious person. I do not pray like most people because I believe most people do not say prayers in the toilet. Yes, toilet. Toilet is my most sacred place. In the toilet, except doing my most private business, reading books, listening to music, I pray. I’m not trying to brag about my abnormal habit or simply trying to be different from anybody. I’m not even trying to make a testimonial post too. I write this because I’m amazed how I’m proven everything I (quietly) believe so far …

Since we moved to the new home, an apartment unit 1 floor above my office, on August 2 2008 , I have lunched at home more than I used to in 1 year. The lure for having lunch at home are 3 gorgeous angels by the name of Jeremiah Indigo Divine (Igo), Zipporah Imogen [...]

We don’t talk much, me and Nila. Gosh, she’s that kind who will disappear in 6 months and call you almost midnight and say “Hi… I’m in this deserted island somewhere on the map but too tiny to see.”
And of course, when she IM-ed me today and then call on the generosity of the United [...]

It is probably easier if I could kick and punch every person who make me mad. Or maybe it is a lot more satisfying if I could yelled every harsh words known in both Bahasa and English to the face of the person who make me mad.
The last time I tried to send some angry [...]

I believe many people hold this one particular principle of keeping one’s words. To keep promises or to do what said. Everybody or at least most people think it is part of a person’s credibility so they expect other people to hold the same principal.
Skepticism aside, many also think that to help others a person [...]

2008 has not been a great year for me. It is probably one of the worst since I was brought into this world. And it is still in July.
2008 has been the year where my strength is being tested to the very last bit of its thread.
In the early days of the year, we got [...]
