Nature and I

For some unclear reason, I do like to hear the thunder. I love the sound of the  wind rustle. Perhaps all those things bring  me back to my childhood in a city where the rainfall is much greater than any other places in Indonesia. Or perhaps all those sound like a natural music to my ear. The kind of music that beats any kinds of music I like.

For some unclear reason, I do like it when the wind chimes make their sound. I feel like being accompanied by nature. Nature isn’t really still as you think it is. It does speak its own language.

I love to hear some frogs croak singing some kind of songs I fail to understand. It’s lovely to hear they seem to have a choir even though they may be at far distance from each other.

It’s more than just interesting to hear the drop of water at the back of my home, back garden that is.

And all of a sudden, some sequences of my childhood moments came to live! They were awesome!

And I miss BOGOR, the city of greater rainfall!

Enjoying the Snow of December

It’s snowing!!!!!

Yes it is even snowing on Lingua Franca.At least until January the 4th, 2010

December is here…

Anyways, SALJU, der SCHNEE, SNOW!!

I might be one of those rare people who like snow, and in general cold weather. I am used to living in a tropical country where I often feel the blistering heat of the sun.It’s so hot that you feel like diving in a cool water, not just twice, but third times.

And, I DO LIKE cold or cool weather. I am a “cold blooded” person ( a grimace on my face).

With Love,

The picture above was taken candidly by a  truly beloved person of mine.

It was probably around -12 C, I did not remember. But I only wore three pieces of layers. Some friends of mine said I was crazy because three layers were absolutely thin for such kind of weather. I honestly did not think so. I would not say it was COOL, it was COLD indeed, but I wasn’t THAT f.r.e.e.z.i.n.g!  The more I walked fast, and quite often the warmer I would feel.I took a break while looking at the fantastic view of WHITE  SNOW! by the way, why should we clarify WHITE for SNOW? SNOW has been WHITE since it fell to the Earth for the first time ever, right?. I guess the adjective thing is used to emphasize how lovely SNOW is, just my two cents. Anyway back to the journey of taking a stroll around Oldenburg, the cyclist city ( in my opinion), I even let my hands bare naked without being covered by gloves once in a while, oh yeah for the sake of camera shots!.

Danke für  mein BT! Thanks for his taking my photo candidly, unless he  had done that, I wouldn’t have had a picture with me contemplating life while noticing the open white land before me. You know, I am pretty narcissistic myself actually. For the sake of privacy! no portraits of me and anyone related to my life are allowed to have the access to public viewing! How cool is that!

I love to play snow like a little girl,

I love to dance in the snow like a snow-girl,

Then, coming home with cups of tea, and cookies prepared by a great family.  Then, coming home with a warm blanket of a warm house.

Then, counting the blessings with laughter, and happiness in my heart.

SNOW

Smells of winter…

Nocturnal songs during the cold December.

Offering me the warmth of a smooth blanket,

Wonderful feeling indeed.

Created with romantic snowy roads in my mind!
