How was Snow?

It has been a while since the last time I wrote something in this blog. Well, I didn't mean too but I really had no idea about what I supposed to write. Even now, I still don't know. Anyway, I've been here (USA) for 6 months already. Can you believe that? Do you wanna know my experiences? Well, I have no clue which experience should I tell you...
O wait, I think I know what I need to tell you. My first snow. Everyone knows that I'm a tropical girl. I come from a country that will never have snow. Fortunately, I get to live in this area (Vancouver-Portland) which doesn't have that much snow. Ya, people said that we might only get snow once in a year and it's not gonna be so thick. But, one day, to be exact last Thursday, February 6, we had snow 6inches or maybe more. We had no school. Yuhuu. This was not my very first snow, but the one in November. It was just a little bit. This one was the one that I could play with. I spent about 2 hours everyday during weekend to sled on the hill near the house. Guess what! FREEZING! double gloves, extra layers would not make me warm enough. At least, it was one of the fun moment since the first time I came here. Btw, snow was beautiful (for me) at first, then I prayed so that there would be no more snow and I can go back to school easily. Hahaha.
This is my story, what's yours?

You Need to Choose One

What will you do when you get bored at school while everyone was talking about things that you never know? Weird question, buy I don't care. Because sometimes that will be happened to you. There are so many options to do, but can you choose the best one? Um, maybe. You can ask them to talk about the other topics or you can go away from them or you can do stuff with your phone (or any other gadgets) or you can eat something so you seem like you are busy. Haha. Too many options and you need to choose one!

KL-YES Nasional 2013/2014 Part 1

Setelah menimbang-nimbang, akhirnya aku memilih untuk posting tentang hal ini. Ya, postingan ini bercerita tentang kisahku dan teman-temanku selama 3 hari 2 malam di Jakarta untuk mengikuti seleksi tahap nasional KL-YES untuk keberangkatan 2013/2014. Everything starts here.... Suatu hari, ketika aku baru memulai kelas 10 di SMA ku, SMAN 10 Padang, aku mendapat info tentang pertukaran pelajar. Ketika itu, aku cuma mengetahui pertukaran pelajar ke Jepang, namun setelah aku mencari dan mencari terus informasi tentang hal ini, akhirnya aku menemukan YES (Youth Exchange and Study). Pada awalnya aku ragu untuk mengikuti test tersebut. Kenapa? Ya, menimbang kondisi fisikku. Aku sempat takut jikalau keterbatasan fisik yang aku miliki akan menjadi penghambat bagiku untuk mengikuti seleksi ini. Ternyata tidak, ketika aku akan mendaftar, aku menceritakan kondisiku kepada pengurus chapter, dan Alhamdulillah, hal ini tidak dipermasalahkan. Akhirnya aku mendaftar, dan aku mengikuti serangkaian te...

Disability is a matter of perception. If you can do just one thing well, you're needed by someone. - Martina Navratilova I've been wanting to talk about this since so long ago. Not trying to compare because I know that there's nothing better or worse, but only different. So, how is it to be someone with disability in Indonesia? First, let me tell you who I am. I was born just like the other who can walk, etc. 2009, there was an earthquake in Padang and I lost my legs because of that. So, I am now disabled like what other people say. At first, it was hard. I did not want to go out and even just taking pictures with the weelchair on. I just did not want people to know me as someone who is "cacat" (the word somehow doesn't make me feel good). But then, afte all the supports from family and friends, disability ain't a nightmare anymore. The year I spent in the United States actually helped me a lot to get up. (Thanks AFS). I learned a lot of things in Amer...
