Merri Kurisumasu!

its almost christmas! or as the Japanese use to say Kurisumasu. well, some people would be spending Christmas with their family, staying over with the cousins that we never thought that we have, or celebrating christmas with their partner in Alaska, enjoying the Mt.Alps scenery with a glass of champagne in the hot springs, or celebrating Christmas alone with lots of papers and works to catch up to? please don't do that, whoever you are that choose to stay in the office on christmas day, you don't deserve that on a Christmas day! or maybe you just don't celebrate christmas at all?

Well i'll be spending christmas in Bangkok...... I dont know why, I found it just plain weird and awkward? to spend Christmas in Bangkok? or maybe it's just me with my idea of celebrating christmas in a snowy morning/night with the fire place turned on, while enjoying a cup of hot choco? with your family and with your family's another family would sit around the christmas tree with present boxes underneath, while Nat King Cole sings The Christmas Song. yeah.... 

However, celebrating christmas in Bangkok is not that weird.. in fact, it's not weird at all. Ha! it's the most common thing to do. for the people that have been living in winter season for decades, super negative temp that is. and for the people that is lonely on christmas and need "someone" to company them.. in bed.  Don't judge! Well, I'll make sure to share it in the blog on How do I spend my christmas in bangkok, 2013.... hope it would be as exciting as the snowy morning/night with whatever is written above! 

So, before I end this weird Christmas related post. I would offer a gratitude to the simple or big things that makes me happy and just thankful, for this year.

1. Lord Jesus. I am so thankful to have an awesome, amazing, loving, humble Lord Jesus. If I could describe tp you how good His heart is, how His plans for you are just perfect, how His words and presence soothe your heart, how His time is always been so perfect, how He knows you more that you know yourself and How simply humble and merciful He is; I would love to share it to you. But the feelings to be able to experience it are thousands more amazingly beautiful. so thankyou, Father. 

2. Papa & Mama. I believe that every parents are the best, they are the best God's given people to look and care for us. every children would say that "my parents are the best" and it's true. I am so thankful to have an awesome supportive parents that are just... awesome. They are the most coolest most wonderful people on earth. I just love them with all of my heart. We both know that hey are there for us and they worked so hard for our own sake. isn't it just amazing? Thankyou papa, thankyou mama.

3. My sister. She is the most bravest, supportive, beautiful and caring person that you could ever meet. She's not just a sister but she's my best friend. She is the whole package, the one that i could run to when my world seems shattered down in pieces. The one that reminds me when I'm about to fall again. The one who loves God and her parents. The one who never willingly to give up and the one who loves me and accept me for who I am. thankyou kris :)

4. My bestfriends. Whoever you are, that spend nights over nights crying together and laughing together over silly things. Whoever you are that makes me laugh in Skype when I'm sad, when I'm on my PMS... Whoever you are that pray together in her room, whoever you are that hug me when I went straight to her room and cry... whoever you are that gossips about silly stuffs in her room, whoever you are that just remind me how God accepts me for who I am.. You, whoever you are, you are awesome and amazing to me, so thankyou for that. 

5. My Mbak and mbok. well obviously, they couldn't see this but just to share it with you and probably to remind you guys that read this? that these people are amazing. They work for you for their whole life, they leave their love ones, their children and family and friends, to work for us; to wake up at 4 in the morning, to open the curtain, mop the floors and clean your clothes. However, we forgot about them, we think them as if they are unimportant. they are important, well to me that is. I would never to treat them badly or to hurt their feelings, to be able to left their family behind is enough already and i guess to make them to feel like they are worthy is one of the many things we could do for them :) so terimakasih mbak dan mbok!

6. Organisations that offer aids, foods, shelters, protection, health service and many more to people in needs. Obviously they can't see this, but without them (and the help of Lord Jesus), what would they be? their dedication and work and passion are just something to be proud of and to be thank for. 

7. My close one. I am grateful for the attention and care that this person have done to me personally. I guess, I adore and proud of this person achievements and of his hard work. He is the most hard working person I have ever met. He is always thankful to the things that he has, he always see the good sides of everything. I dont know that he realize this but he has a good and a loving heart toward his family and bestfriends. Thankyou for that, I hope that good loving hearts would never fade away, and I hope that he able to open his heart to miracles and grace. 


there's alot more to be thankful for, but that woould take more than these.. and I don't have the time for that! well I have, I should have.. 

Anyway, Thankyou for YOU that read this and I would recommend you to write a list of what you thank for, I can assure you 100% that this works like a time machine, it brings back the memories and more importantly, to remind you that you are loved and taken care of. 

So adios amigos, I am going to bed, it is 1:24 in the morning on Christmas eve, alone... while evryones sleeping. okay, alright, goodbye, see you soon?

:) Hugs!
