2014 is...

Hey hey,


It has been 16 days after my last post.  It is a sunny Friday Morning in Palembang.  I am sitting here on my desk, next to the window and election news is on broadcast.  I am feeling like Beyonce (Irreplacable Beyonce), doing what I love (which is blog-writing) in my black bra and high waisted skirt.  I feel good, sexy and liberated.  I am happy to feel this way because there are sad days where I felt a little or so much lost.  So, I am writing this post to remind myself how great and full of mistake this year has been.  (I thought about this idea while I was taking a bath few minutes ago) 2014 has been halfway done anyway so here it is
