As the end of 2011 was approaching, I was thinking of stuff (as many people perhaps did) and of course the question of new year's resolution made its way into my head. I am not one who ever did that. I don't understand the need for it - If you wanna do something, just do it. However as the days were ending, a thought came that I should list all the nice things that happened in each of my days in 2012. It first came to me that I should tweet it everyday or put it in my Facebook status - show a little positivity to the world. Then I realized, I might be in places where I'll have no internet access. So I bought a thin cute book to list everything and I decided I would blog it at the end of each month. That somewhat became my new year's resolution. As not interesting as it may sound, I thought it would be a good practice to dig deep into my shitty days (which I am sure will exist) and see something, anything, at least one thing nice that happened that day. So if these entries are boring, I'm sorry (I'm sorry too if I'm tardy in posting). For some people, they may put things like got married, saw my baby for the first time, got proposed, etc. If it's me, perhaps the nicest thing was a chocolate bar, but then perhaps you can sense how sucky my day was that a chocolate bar was the nicest thing that happened to me :) Some days the nicest things will send me grinning from the inside, some days they will just stop me from crying, but those are my life in 2012, I suppose :)
PS: I did use this blog to talk about stuff long ago. I decided not to delete the entries. To read a more sobering view of my life, you can go here.

September 2012

The nicest thing today was ...

245) 01/09/2012 - the medicine from the doctor seems to be working.

246) 02/09/2012 - being better after I had a bout of really bad (I think) low blood pressure that made me feel like I'm gonna fall and faint if I stand too long.

247) 03/09/2012 - having a conversation which answered my many questions and kinda put me at ease ever so slightly and also the chinese girl in Shihlin who laughed when she saw me and got her colleagues to prepare my order correctly without me having to give any instructions.

248) 04/09/2012 - seeing glimpses of Desta in Opera Van Java (it's finally back to live with a better stage it seems). He still cannot sing :D

249) 05/09/2012 - I completed crocheting my first granny square. It's small with 4 rounds. Not perfect. Still not getting the color changing part neatly.

250) 06/09/2012 - having Max around and to be having little conversation with him.

251) 07/09/2012 - how perfect my bed was this morning.

252) 08/09/2012 - rain.

253) ... I think this is the day I forgot to write. It bound to happen.

254) 10/09/2012 - the nice clean feeling I have after my evening shower.

255) 11/09/2012 - when Dewi talked to me in MSN. I didn't feel so alone then.

256) 12/09/2012 - being safe and sound in my room.

257) 13/09/2012 - being in my room.

258) 14/09/2012 - having and meeting my french classmates in class. Glad to have them around.

259) 15/09/2012 - Glee. It managed to make me smile, but I also shed a tear or 2 because I was really feeling Rachel Berry.

260) 16/09/2012 - a bar of KitKat.

261) 17/09/2012 - finishing today early.

262) 18/09/2012 - when Max seemed to be really excited to talk to me and have discussion on stuff.

263) 19/09/2012 - getting a bit of laugh from Opera Van Java. I miss Desta. They have a new set and all but they seem to be less funnier ... is it just me?

264) 20/09/2012 - when the Jakartans (well most of them) decided that Jokowi and Ahok would be the next leaders for Jakarta :) Thank you guys for being open and acceptant :)

265) 21/09/2012 - the french teacher, Mr. V, told me that I was fast / sharp in discovering the color code in our black and white photocopies.

266) 22/09/2012 - listening to Diana Krall.

267) 23/09/2012 - the fact that I'm alive.

268) 24/09/2012 - Downton Abbey.

269) 25/09/2012 - unexpectedly getting a text from my brother.

270) 26/09/2012 - the chance to get away from nothingness and being able to talk to someone.

271) 27/09/2012 - realizing I can still give a genuine smile inspite of me still feeling pretty much depressed.

272) 28/09/2012 - when I waited some time for a lift to get me down. When it arrived, there was this westerner inside. I was kinda liking his hair color which I thought would be described as sandy brown (I could be so wrong). Anyway, when the lift arrived at the first floor and the door opened, he said "after you" to me. My heart smiled a bit :P Also I like how at ease I was and perhaps happy being among my french classmates gank.

273) 29/09/2012 - how wonderful the bed felt like this morning.

274) 30/09/2012 - MasterChef Indonesia. It was very cheeky of Chef Kenny and the producers to hide the fact that he can speak Indonesian :P
