Happy New Year

It has been long since I became inactive in writing (on only in this blog). It is not I do not have time but most of the time, I just too tired to think, sit down and write something. So this time, I am planning to write anew (I hope it won’t end as only [...]

leave or stay?

For now, I just want to enjoy what I am curretly doing — DREAMING. The road is so uncertain ahead but what can I do now, I am already taking it. There’s no turning back. This is my decision and I am willing to face the consequences. This is a part of my dream, part [...]

I sung the doxology:
