Children uneducated..

It is not an easy task to make the world a better place..
but we can at least try to make a difference to someone's live..

Children are the future of this world..
The following is not an advertisement nor a must-to-do for you..
It's merely an invitation to help..

… 29,480 children under the age of five suffered from serious malnutrition across the province (East Nusa Tenggara)… Since January this year two children have died due to marasmus.
The Jakarta Post, February 24, 2007

Penghasilan penduduk yang tidak menentu, rendahnya tingkat pendidikan, kemiskinan, kekeringan, kelaparan, dan busung lapar pada anak-anak telah menjadi hal yang biasa di NTT (Nusa Tenggara Timur) karena tidak adanya perbaikan selama bertahun tahun. Dengan ini kami mengetuk hati Anda untuk menjadi donatur reguler bagi perbaikan gizi dan pendidikan anak-anak di Maumere, NTT.

Apa yang kami lakukan?
Bersama dengan tenaga sukarelawan dari penduduk setempat, kami mengkoordinasikan penyediaan susu, obat-obatan, buku dan alat tulis untuk sebuah sekolah di desa Wairklau, di Maumere yang memberikan pendidikan cuma-cuma untuk anak-anak berusia 4-7 tahun dari keluarga yang tidak mampu.

Sekolah ini bernama PAUD (Pendidikan untuk anak-anak Usia Dini) Maria Gunung Karmel, didirikan di bawah naungan biara Karmel Wariklau pada bulan Juli 2006. Dengan memakai fasilitas seadanya dari biara, jumlah murid sudah mencapai 40 anak dengan 2 orang pengajar sukarela. Karena kemauan mereka untuk berjuang inilah, maka kami ikut merasa terbeban untuk memberi dukungan moral dan material.

I'm about to bake brownies hahaha
I read it somewhere that brownies are usually what novice bakers do..
Anyway..will come back later with the result..


*update @4.25pm*
The batter is in the oven right now..
How is it going to be? Hhmmmm..

*update @5.25pm*
Yayyyyy?!?!
It's edible..it's pretty nice i think;p hehehe
it doesn't look like that, but hahahaha well...


*updated @4.29pm 14 May 2007*
Apparantely, it is a mistake to put a salt *even only 1 gr* hihi
since..it didn't dissolve well ..
Some pieces of the brownies have a bit of salt in it hahahaha
so...pardon me for whoever who got those pieces..
I'll try to fix it next time hehehe

My life after university has just begun..
I graduated last November whilst I started my first full-time job last October..

If there is such thing as 'identity crisis', probably I'm having one here..
At some point, I haven't been able to decide what I want to do in the future..
I looked around..
and suddenly I said to myself..
"I want to do that..and that..and that..Ughhh that also seems interesting..
And the result..a huge confusion of what I exactly want to do after this?

It feels like I'm being chased by TIME..
One of my friend told me that it's somewhat normal to feel like this..
I just began my journey..that's why I keep on looking around trying to figure out whether this is the path that I want to explore..
And it's better to turn to other direction while I'm still at the beginning of it..

it's freezing in the office..
a jacket still does not keep me warm enough..

At the beginning of the long-distance relationship,
everything felt moving in a really slow motion..
Realizing that I still have one whole year ahead of me to go through only made it worse..
It wasn't easy to went through a day..
Even work at the office failed to distract my mind..

I can't remember when exactly it changed..
Somehow everything's starting to move in a fast pace..
Weeks passes by..Months changes..
Last time I remembered was New Year's eve celebration..
and now..already in the middle of 2007..ckckck

It's now another 4 months to go..
It's no longer feel like forever..
Plenty of things are coming up..
2 of my dear friends are visiting Spore at the end of this month..
The upcoming month, Vivi is coming here *yay...can't wait for this one*..
The following month, one of my friends here is getting married
August..I'm coming back to Jakarta *depends on my brother*
And then September will come..

Haix...icha ganbatte ne...
