This has been a bad year for me. It didn't start right, something not good have been happening every month. A couple hours ago, my cellular phone got snatched. I was opening my car and he grabbed my phone. I was so shocked that all I did was called my friend who was parked a couple of meters away from me. She responded better than I did, shouted "snatcher". The watchers were kind enough to go after the suspect, unfortunately he was such a good runner, was able to turn around towards me. I almost blocked him. But then I was aware that these people carry knives with them, I let him go, a cell phone is not worth my life. The guys on the other side of the street were not that helpful, they could have stopped the snatcher but no one dared to blocked him (maybe they have the same reason as I do).
A tricycad driver was kind enough to go to the nearby police station. As I collected my thoughts, me and my friend went to the station to have the incident blottered. Was I impressed by the way the officers handled my complain? NO!! I have heard so many reports that some police knows these people, even protecting them to some extent. One police even adviced me to text the snatcher, asking him to return the memory card, since this is very important to me!! And the same police told me that I am earning good money, I can buy another phone!!
Now what can I do??? Hope that there are better police in that Station, someone who can change my mind that police are good people too.. I want my phone back!!! Huhuhu

Belated Happy Easter

A few days later, I decided to write about my Easter. It feels good to make other people happy, seeing them smile makes my day. Me and my family went out of our way to celebrate Easter with a less-fortunate community. Egg-hunting activity for the kids, with matching old toys from my nephew and neices as prizes and a volleyball tournament for mothers - grand prize: Rice and grocery items. I wish we can do this more often, not just christmas and easter. And I hope more family will do this too.. Inspiring =)

my recent adventure

Now, i don't know how to describe my recent trip to yogyakarta. It's been my dream to see the Borobudur temples, finally I saw it. It was huge, really beautiful, everything I imagined. I wanted to see the sun set behind it but suddenly, sky started to turn grey, rain starts to fall ..
At least at Prambanan temple complex, it was bright and sunny and very hot.. Result = sunburn!
People in Yogya are very friendly, special mention to Yatti, receptionist/everything else in our hotel. Our tourist guide and driver (both are muslim) were very warm too. They don't take advantage of tourists.
