little stories in 2015

Hello folks! Long time no see :D

Firstly I hope you had merriest Christmas and happiest new year! 

Just like the other people (okay, I know I am mainstream hehe) I tried to find out what my best nine photos in Instagram. And now I want to share it with you.

1. In 2015, I made at least two big decisions, and one of them was cut my hair. That's my first time having a short hair, just like when I was 4 years old hahahaha 

That's a "beautiful mistake" I think, because I didn't plan to cut that short, but I love my new hairstyle, look so fresh, isn't it? :D

2. Just like the previous years, in 2015 I engaged to Jesuits' ordination. But I think my engagement last year was special because almost all of the new Fathers is my friend. So last year I attended 5 first masses (actually there were 7 new Fathers, but I couldn't attend all of the first masses). In the photo, that was Romo Sani, one of the most "care pol" person I've ever met :p

3. Well yeah, in 2015 I (still) had good times with PAPITA, it's already 13 years, anyway. WOW! Papita is not everything, but everything could happen in Papita #eaaa

4. In 2015 I also still engaged in Perkampungan Sosial Pingit. I learned a lot, not only about how to teach or how to be more empathetic, but I also learned to struggling with myself, my feelings, my thoughts, my idealism etc. In short, my engagement in Pingit help me to develop as a person. Anyway, this year, 2016, Pingit will be 50 years old! #PestaEmasPingit

5. Another #TourToTheTemples session. That was a moment before sunset at the highest temple in Jogja, Candi Ijo.

6. I had so much fun with my nephews and nieces in 2015! Well, that photo taken just a day after a big decision I made in 2015 hehe :D in 2015, I had a chance to literally took care of them for several days and nights hehehe I am very grateful to be an aunt for cute, funny, creative kids. I also had a new cousin and two new nephews last year, so I am an aunt for 8 kids! Hahaha :D

7. One of my best friend said to me that family will always love you unconditionally, always accept you and give you support, no matter what. In 2015, I really learned to find and give meaning to the words "family". And yeah, I couldn't be happier to be a part of this family. :)

8. Joining Campus Ministry's Media and Publication team was another highlight of my 2015. I met many great people (including my "twin", Jokpin), I learned a lot about organizing an event, I learned a lot through the conversations, I learned a lot about life. 

9. One of 'our job' as media and publication team was share the stories about some Sanata Dharma's students who bike from Jogja to Bali, to campaign about autism and mangrove. Of course I wasn't bike from Jogja to Bali, but I learned from their spirit to do something for others. Anyway, in 2015, I also (actually I am forced) to learn how to bike HAHAHAHA :p 

Yeah, for me 2015 is an epic year. I had so many new things, including new status #EH :))

I think my biggest lesson learned in 2015 was "following my deepest heart". You can always use mask, you can always looks good in front of other people, but your heart will never lie. Whatever the consequences, just face it. 

Thank you for everyone who helped me "find myself" in 2015, there are so many BEST people around me, I can't mention them one by one, but I always whisper their name on my prayers ;)

I'm sure that they are present from God. Prayers, joys, hugs, ears to listened to my stories, even tears we shared together, that's really mean to me. I am so blessed. I hope our friendship also give something that meaningful to you, guys! ;)

Once again, happy new year! Hope you will have a great journey in 2016.

Emmm...

I just had a wish for 2016: get my bachelor degree. What's next? Well, just wait what my deepest heart say :p

Happy holidays!

First day of 2016,
