Hello,
2015 is almost finish! I couldn't believe time's running so fast for this year..
Now I'm enjoying my holiday after the 1st semester in master's degree (and this could be my last long holiday before i finish my master's degree :scream).
I'm actually kinda regret this holiday since i don't have enough money to travel while i have many places to go on my bucket list (sob T.T), so i choose to use my super-fast-Internet-connection at home to browse anything! Yippie!
In the middle of browsing (and kepo-ing - if you know what i mean :P), i found a really inspiring article that tells us what to do to increase happiness in new year.
Here's the article:

Okay, I know you're too lazy to read it so I'll just sum it for you.
One thing that we can do to increase happiness is expressing gratitude.
Yes, it's so simple. Why? Just read the article, don't be lazy -_-"
Since I'm a member of gen Y (so I prefer to use blog or socmed rather than a diary book - but I also have a diary book lol), I choose to express my gratitude here. There are soooo many great things in this year but I picked the most gratitude experiences in 2015. So here we go.
1.JAPAN!!! JAPAN!!! JAPAN!!!
It really is a dream comes true!! I wanted to go to Japan since i was in elementary school (12 yrs old) and that dream came true after i graduated from bachelor degree (23 yrs old)! To accomplish this dream, I worked when i was still a bachelor student (as a teacher, joining someone's project, and so on).
I still can remember my first impression when i felt Japan's air (shockingly breezing since it's winter :P). This was my first time going overseas, so I was very very excited when i arrived at Japan. This was also the first time I've seen snow! I thought snow would be fluffy like cotton, it turns out so hard like 'shredded' ice blocks -_-
I really love Japan, especially Kobe city. People are so nice there, they talked to me even when they knew i couldn't speak Japanese, they tried to talk slowly with exaggerating body language to make me understand them :D
I'm so grateful i could visit Japan, met really nice people there, ate delicious and healthy foods, also visited wonderful places in Japan. I hope someday i can go back to Japan. Doumo arigato goizaimasu~
2. Back to School : Graduate Student in Educational Psychology Profession
I wanted to be a psychologist. Not just a bachelor in psychology, but a PSYCHOLOGIST. I am so grateful that I have the opportunity to apply master's degree in Universitas Indonesia to be a psychologist. Since i really love education, I applied educational psychology program.
There are only 13 students in this program and women's force is strong in here. No man in this program! ;D
Who run this program? Girls!
Who run this program? Girls!
Who run this **** program? Girls!
In the first semester, we mostly relearn the subjects from bachelor program (research methods, measurements, statistics). For me, the challenge is not only in re-learning the subjects, but also cooperating with other students. FYI, I never cooperate with them before, furthermore, I never know most of them before we attend this program.
Even though I faced so many obstacles in this semester, I am very grateful. I was able to re-learn the subjects, met many new friends, learned many things from them, and especially, laugh and enjoy togetherness with them ^^
I still have some points here but, since it's already 11pm here, I'll continue this later... (well, actually I'm not so sure I'll continue this lol)
