I would like to devote this blog to smoking. In fact, not to smoking by itself but giving up smoking. I'm a smoker myself and want to quit smoking. Frankly speaking, I've smoked for a long time (about eight or nine years) and have done many attempts to give up this bad habit. As you could guess yourself, all of them were failed. There were times when I haven't smoked for a half year or even more but I've always come across some circumstances when I couldn't help but take a cigarette and light it

Some people come into our lives and quickly go.

Some people move our souls to dance.

They awaken us to a new understanding with the passing whisper of their wisdom.

Some people make the sky ore beautiful to gaze upon.

"Looking for a pot of gold" written by Arleen Amidjaja

Initially the cap itself was white. A few days ago, a person who found it colorless, and thought it was the time to give it a new face. So, she prepared paste, brush, pigment, and paper napkin herself. The paper napkin itself could be used widely other than the function of cleaning itself. Those materials themselves was quite a help to the cap for injecting a novel spirit. Okay, that's all for practicing intensive pronouns. Thank you for reading my post. Ta-ta for now.

Three days ago, on Saturday, it was my newborn niece birth. She is my sister's second daughter. It was a happy occasion to see this soft creature after waiting nine months.
