First post in 2017. 

  We've been already in 2017 about two weeks, i just finished my final exams so i just had time to write this post. There's a lot of memes on the internet say 2016 was a terrible year, but honestly for me 2016 was meh, okay. Not my year, but it wasn't so bad though. I started 2017 with a grateful heart and believe 2017 will be more than okay, 2017 is gonna be so much greater than 2016. I've set a lot of goals for my life that i hope i can reach this year. Also there's a lot of story i wanna share with you guys on this blog. The best is yet to come. Stay with me.

  It's the most wonderful time of the year, indeed. A day full of joy and happiness. Presents, cookies, Christmas tree, decorations, foods, all is well, all is perfect. But sometimes we just focus about the festive celebrations, and forget about the true meaning of Christmas. We often forget about Him who had came from heaven becoming a human being to save all of our lives. Christ is the true meaning of Christmas (that's why it's called Christmas, because without Christ, it's just a mas). So have you thanked Him today? We don't need to do a lot of things or take a lot of time to thank Him, we can take just less than five minutes to pray, as our gratitude for what He has done. You know, He has gave His entire life at the cross so we can live, but why can't we give a little time to thank Him? However i hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas. Cheers!

  I love Sundays. It's the one day of the week where you can stay in bed all day without any guilt (unless you live with really strict parents). There are two options you can choose: A) Wake up super late because you were wide awake all Saturday night, or B) Wake up super early on Sunday morning. I usually do A, but wake up early on Sunday is a pleasure too. Beside you can see sun rises, your Sunday will be felt a little longer. In fact, rising early brings some benefits to you (*note to self). However, I always make sure to use this day to recharge, surround myself with my favorite things, and of course enjoy some me time, before going back to the hectic campus life on Monday.

  As i said on the previous posts before, the mainly reason why i went to Makassar was to attend my cousin's wedding, and helped them, of course. It was the first time i've been involved and be a part of a wedding ceremony, which was quite exhausted but so interesting though.

  My cousin's wedding was unlike the usual wedding ceremonials, they were using Bugis tradition. FYI traditional Bugis wedding is pretty complex, groom and bride must pass through several processions before legally become husband and wife. That's why it took a lot of time of preparation to make the wedding "perfect". That's also the reason why i didn't have so many time to stroll around the town.  But it's okay, at least i could learn more about Bugis culture. 

  I won't explain you guys further about the processions here, because it would be really long to explain. And honestly it's difficult for me to explain in English. I'm just gonna put up the photos based on the wedding procession's name as my mom said to me. So if you really curious about it just go google it by yourself. Ha! Sorry.

  Firstly let me say TGIF! Nice to meet you again, Weekend!

  Wait, today is Feb, 14. It means today is Valentine's Day!

  A day to celebrate love. So this post is all about love.
