Resolusi 2012


Matahari mulai condong ke arah  barat, ketika aku membuka laptopku dengan malas-malasan. Tugasku sebenarnya sangat simple; yaitu mengedit sekitar seratus lima puluh foto untuk buku tahunan di gerejaku. Namun, kemalasan memang sangat meracuni tubuhku, sehingga tugasku terbengkalai begitu saja. 
Dengan malas, aku membuka program keluaran Adobe yang bernama Photoshop. Lalu membuka 45 files foto yang sudah ada di salah satu folder laptopku. Pertama, aku menzoom foto-foto itu, untuk melihat apakah ada jerawat ataupun flek hitam yang ada di wajah orang-orang yang ada di dalam foto itu. Kalau ada yang memang perlu aku edit, aku menggunakan sebuah tool kecil bernama Spot Healing Brush, yang dengan ajaib menyamarkan jerawat dan flek-flek hitam. Aku berusaha mengerjakan folder ini dengan cepat, karena aku harus bergegas menyerahkan tugas ini malam nanti. Masih ada 1 buah folder yang harus aku edit. Sesekali aku mengomel dalam hati, “Kenapa banyak sekali jerawat dan flek yang harus dihilangkan?” atau, “Ok, aku mulai bosan dengan ini.” Dan ketika itulah, pemikiran-pemikiran ajaib ini muncul.

Awalnya, aku mengedit foto anak-anak kecil atau bayi. Tak terlalu banyak yang harus diedit, paling hanya menerangkan gambarnya. Lalu makin lama, aku makin banyak mengedit foto orang yang sudah remaja dan yang sudah dewasa dan bahkan manula. Sambil terus menzoom foto orang-orang, aku memperhatikan bahwa flek dan jerawat itu tidak terlalu kelihatan sebenarnya, tapi mereka ada. Saat aku menzoom foto orang yang sebenarnya belum terlalu tua, aku bisa melihat flek-flek hitam di wajah mereka, yang mungkin mereka coba tutupi dengan make up. Aku tersadar. Selamanya, kita nggak akan muda. Ya, hidup terus berjalan, dan umur terus bertambah. Wajah tak akan selalu muda, badan tidak akan selalu sehat. Aku bertekad di masa mudaku, aku akan mendapat banyak pengalaman. Aku memanfaatkan tubuh sehatku dengan baik. Sebelum aku tua nanti, aku akan belajar banyak hal dan memperoleh banyak pengalaman berharga. Sebuah resolusi yang sangat baik di awal tahun 2012 ini.

Gaya bloggingku juga berubah tahun ini. Aku terpengaruh karena membaca buku novel terjemahan. Walaupun bahasa Indonesia baku yang digunakan, tapi terasa ringan saat dibaca. (Bener loh, aku nggak bohong) makanya, aku agak terpengaruh dikit, dan mengganti bahasa bloggingku. Yah, seenggaknya, aku harus tetap bangga dengan bahasaku, walau sudah sedikit sekali hal yang bisa dibanggakan dari negaraku. Anyway, aku akan bercerita tentang liburanku kemarin di Surabaya-Bromo-Batu! It was totally awesome :D

Selamat tahun baru 2012 semua

Mother's Day

Indonesia people celebrate Mother's Day today. Many people changed their BBM display picture with their photo with their own mom. So do I. I'm not the kind of person who shows my love to my family with words or with gifts. For me, it's a bit awkward. I do love my family, but it's an awkward thing to say "Hey, Mom, I love you" or "Daddy, I love you"then hug them. NO! it's not my thing, I guess. I do show my love with my family, especially my parents, by my pray and by talking with them. It's enough for me. My parents also don't show their love by saying "I love you my children"to me and my brother. But I just know that they love me. It's more than just enough for me.










my parents told me that I cried a lot when I was a kid





Nothing beats my parent's love for me, and I know that ;)

by the way, I'm changing my blog's name *again? yeah, sorry for being unstable. 
temps libre de Caroline means Caroline's free time, since I'm posting posts when I'm free, so I guess, it will be ok. it's a French, but actually I can't speak French. thanks to google translate ;) lol!
well ok, guys, it's 2 days to go till Christmas! yei!



happy mommy-or-mama-or-mom-or-mother-or-whatever 's day!

Christmas Wishes!


well, I know that Christmas isn't just about the present, but also a heart and a joy. But, I think it's ok to share my wishes for this Christmas, maybe Santa Claus will give me one or maybe all of the things in my list, since I've been nice this year *at least, I thought so*. So , here comes my top 3 Christmas wishes!


1. A Polaroid Camera




I've want this camera since a year ago, but haven't got it yet :(



2. Lomo Camera




Add caption

I'm totally sure that Lomo has the cutest and the most unique shape of it's products. ;)


3. Going to Japan!




I love Japan for it's beauty and the food and the culture and the ANIME AND MANGA! :DD

my holiloliday

well, I'm on holiday right now! YEI! so happy, yet so bored. nothing I can do during the holiday, actually, TOO many works to do during the holiday. I'm one of the Christmas committee in my church, so hell yeah, I got a lot of things to do, but I'm soooo lazy to do it. Then, L.o.T.E gonna perform on the Christmas Celebration this Sunday, and we haven't finished the coreo. so many things to do.
but a ton of joy for this Christmas! yei! 
And, if you noticed, I changed the background of my blog and I love it :D it's so 'Christmas' with a cute Santa Claus in the side of the blog. hihi.
In addition, after Christmas, I'll go to Surabaya together with my family and my father's co-workers' family. I hope it will be FUNtastic, as I didn't go anywhere during the Lebaran Holiday. 
well, that's all folks for now. I promise to add more photos about my holiday, well, after I have an interesting story to tell you. Because, as I told you before, holiday is so damn boring! I just stayed at home for this two day, hm, not really. yesterday, I went to church for the dance rehearsal, but you can't count it, right? Today, I just spent my whole day for playing Coco Girl and Sims Social on Facebook. *sigh
tomorrow, I'm going to somewhere with my friends. hope an interesting thing happen.


happy holiday, bloggie!
