Shave for Hope 2013 - My Story

September 1, 2013.
Benteng Vredeburg, Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

That day was one of my best days, I might say. That was a shinny Sunday when I had a very special moment called Shave for Hope 2013. For the very first time I thought that I could do something good for others, others who I don't even know.
Yet, it somehow made me happy. So much happy.

Well, the idea of this event is simply brilliant.
Shave for Hope invited people to shave their hair which will be awarded around IDR 100,000, it's approximately $10 each person. And all the money collected will be donated to a kinda social agent that is concerned with helping children with cancer.
As we know, children , and or people, with cancer often have to do a kinda treatment (I'm not really sure how to say it in English) in which they ll get hair loss. And, the event wanted to show them that bald is the new sexy. Bald is beautiful. Social angels, the shavee (people who donate their hair in the event are called Shavee) wanted to show them that bald is not something to be ashamed of.


The idea to help children with cancer by shaving our hair is a great idea which is , for me, simply captivating.

Hey ! Last but not least, I wanna share some photos of the event. Here they go !

great performances from the guests. it's Sheila on 7, one of my fav music bands :') SO Happy to See them !

We've got a nice bracelet :D

Falling in Love with Strangers

Just another random flying issue on my mind. I was singing one of my fav song, and it contains "Falling in Love with Strangers". Then suddenly I wonder how it feels. Have you ever felt so? In a sudden I think of meeting someone new and feel a kinda strange feeling warming up my body just like every time I met you. Well, that kinda feeling. I think it must be good to easily falling in love with someone you meet at the first sight. Just if I can do it. It wouldn't be so hurting and taking time to forget you, then, I guess. Have you got my point so far? I juts think, maybe , it might be either yes or no, maybe it ll be helpful to easily falling in love with someone else once your heart gets broken. If it's possible, then this broken heart can be recover soon right? Well, once more, it can be yes or no. Missing you was blue , That's what I feel and I have to find a way soon to turn that blue into red, before it's too late and my heart gets frozen sin...

Home is not a home without a Mother

I read it somewhere on the internet; a home is not a home without a mother. I don't know why, lately I miss her just so much. Surely I miss her and remember her a lot, but it feels different these past few days; it hurts me missing her so badly. I don't know to whom should I tell this, guess my sister won't listen to me anymore if I keep telling her that I miss you, mom ._. Ehe By the way, it's okay. I'm fine. Not totally fine, but I am fine. So then I remember watching a TV show when the guest said something about losing a mother. As what I remembered, she said that there are "first without mom" things that we will have to do as our moms passed away. Then, I rethink about it. Dear my always lovely Mae , I remembered coming home for the first time after you passed away, mom. It felt totally empty. You know, I used to seeing you welcoming me home; then it all felt so much different when I come home now and no one is there welcoming me. At first, I...
