The real situation.

I still remember that day when I had to sit for the interview to be the English teacher. One of the interview slot was 2 hours essay writing. 1 hour for compulsory topic and another one hour for the free writing which there were few topics you can choose. I am not going discuss on the topic of free writing essay. It's the easiest one, of course. 

My compulsory essay was I had to write about "CORRUPTION". 7 years back, I had no clue what was the topic all about. But I was being me, being so naive..I didn't see that the topic was the major issue in my country. I thought that I live in a peaceful and harmony country which everyone was so sincere and honest.

Now, 7 years after...I can see clearly and understand what  CORRUPTION is all about. If I had to write about it, I think I can write longer...more than three pages within one hour I guess.

But I am just like any other ordinary citizens..too much critics and sharing thoughts or I could be skating on the thin ice. What else I can do? What else can WE do? The power is not in our hand.

Hugs and kisses,

A note to Hannah.

Dear Hannah,

There is no love so lasting, so strong, so devoted, so unselfish than my love for you. It is the first and purest of all love. It begins with your birth and ends with my death. Soon you are going to be a girl..but don't worry sayang. The memory and love that we treasure together will sweeten many a cup of sorrow and will lighten many hours of darkness. You may lose everything in this world, and my love will alone stick by you. You may go down but the memory of me and my undying love may come like a golden cloud, and with all its early strength and warmth, will make you stand up again and fight. 

And if you read this post in the future, please remember that the love between a mother and her daughter is forever. 

Ibu loves you so much my love.

Hugs and kisses,
