At 1pm, the airplane takes off to Singapore. I arrive at Singapore around 2.30pm . The next flight with depature to US is delayed for 3 hours. So, I must wait the flight in the waiting room gate A5 at 7pm. The flight was at 5pm. I spend my time there by walk around the duty shops. I sae a cute t-shirt at Giordano, so I bought 2 t-shirt. 1 for me, and the other one for Kiv.

*     *    *

Hello US ! One of beautiful countries in the world. I'm very happy because finally I arrive at US. Now, I wanna meet Kiv. yay! So I jgsTaLk Kiv ;


5 minutes later, someone closes my eyes with his hand.
"Heii.. Stop do that, Kiv!" I say happily.
"Ups! Sorry, I poke wrong people." He say.
"It's okay." I say.

Part 1 ~


When I was a kid, I had one bestfriend. His name was Kiv. Kiv was handsome, kind and smart. His parents knew me well. They was regard me like their own daughter because they weren't have any daughters, they only have 2 son, Kiv and his big bro. They loved me and I loved them too.
Once day, Kiv must went to US because his father got a new job in there. So, that made Kiv should live in US for a long time with his family.
"Kiv.. Please.. Don't let me alone in here without you!" I said sadly.
"Sorry Raa, I can't. I must follow my father. I really don't want to go and let you alone in here. But sorry Raa, I can't. Please don't be sad. We still can chat at facebook, whatsapp, jgsTaLk, etc. This is for you and this one is for me. Please keep this until we meet again." Kiv said while gave me a special designed key chains shaped like a boy with the name "Raa" for Kiv, and the otherwise of it.
*         *         *
Now, I have graduated from high school. And I've got scholarship from my high school to study in US. I'm so happy because I can go to US and I will meet Kiv there. So I use jgsTaLk to talk with Kiv;



At 9pm, Kiv reply my jgsTaLk. He late to reply my jgsTaLk.



I know Kiv has been very busy since he lives in US. So, I don't reply his last message. I will reply his message tomorrow because it's already 12am.

Happy Valentine's Day !!


Today, I want to share some story about Valentine's day.

devotion
St. Valentine, The Real Story
By David Kithcart
The 700 Club

Flowers, candy, red hearts and romance. That's what Valentine's day is all about, right? Well, maybe not.

The origin of this holiday for the expression of love really isn't romantic at all -- at least not in the traditional sense. Father Frank O'Gara of Whitefriars Street Church in Dublin, Ireland, tells the real story of the man behind the holiday -- St. Valentine.

"He was a Roman Priest at a time when there was an emperor called Claudias who persecuted the church at that particular time," Father O'Gara explains. " He also had an edict that prohibited the marriage of young people. This was based on the hypothesis that unmarried soldiers fought better than married soldiers because married soldiers might be afraid of what might happen to them or their wives or families if they died."

"I think we must bear in mind that it was a very permissive society in which Valentine lived," says Father O'Gara. "Polygamy would have been much more popular than just one woman and one man living together. And yet some of them seemed to be attracted to Christian faith. But obviously the church thought that marriage was very sacred between one man and one woman for their life and that it was to be encouraged. And so it immediately presented the problem to the Christian church of what to do about this."

"The idea of encouraging them to marry within the Christian church was what Valentine was about. And he secretly married them because of the edict."

Valentine was eventually caught, imprisoned and tortured for performing marriage ceremonies against command of Emperor Claudius the second. There are legends surrounding Valentine's actions while in prison.

"One of the men who was to judge him in line with the Roman law at the time was a man called Asterius, who's daughter was blind. He was supposed to have prayed with and healed the young girl with such astonishing effect that Asterius himself became Christian as a result."

In the year 269 AD, Valentine was sentenced to a three part execution of a beating, stoning, and finally decapitation all because of his stand for Christian marriage. The story goes that the last words he wrote were in a note to Asterius' daughter. He inspired today's romantic missives by signing it, "from your Valentine."

"What Valentine means to me as a priest," explains Father O'Gara, "is that there comes a time where you have to lay your life upon the line for what you believe. And with the power of the Holy Spirit we can do that -- even to the point of death."

Valentine's martyrdom has not gone unnoticed by the general public. In fact, Whitefriars Street Church is one of three churches that claim to house the remains of Valentine. Today, many people make the pilgrimage to the church to honor the courage and memory of this Christian saint.

"Valentine has come to be known as the patron saint of lovers. Before you enter into a Christian marriage you want some sense of God in your life -- some great need of God in your life. And we know, particularly in the modern world, many people are meeting God through his Son, Jesus Christ."

"If Valentine were here today, he would say to married couples that there comes a time where you're going to have to suffer. It's not going to be easy to maintain your commitment and your vows in marriage. Don't be surprised if the 'gushing' love that you have for someone changes to something less "gushing" but maybe much more mature. And the question is, is that young person ready for that?"

"So on the day of the marriage they have to take that into context," Father O'Gara says. "Love -- human love and sexuality is wonderful, and blessed by God -- but also the shadow of the cross. That's what Valentine means to me."

Kopi-Q

At Kopi-Q. Bandung, Jawa Barat, Indonesia.
This photo was taken at Kopi-Q. Kopi-Q is located in Mekarwangi Complex, South of Bandung. Just imagine, a café that, if it is located in Bandung it would usually be in the busiest spot up in the North, but Kopi-Q recklessly established itself in a relatively small housing complex that would rarely get any glimpse of the Bandung’s lifestyle junkie. But his lucky hunch was not far off the mark because Kopi-Q has become one of the most frequented places in the area.
This café is very suitable for a place to hang out, eat with family, etc. If you want to buy coffe powder, you can buy it at Kopi-Q. At Kopi-Q, they also sell coffe maker, etc.




*NB : All photos are taken at Kopi-Q. Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.
