were good listener and they never bored to listen many things of my sad sharing. What a blessing having such wonderful friends like them. I also thanked to God who had given them to me. God had sent them to give me the strength.

After I married with American and moved to USA 6 years ago, I became so far from my family and friends. Through the high technology, I still keep in touch with them via phone and email. Now I am so happy with my lovely family. I have a daughter from this marriage. She is beautiful, smart and very cute. What a blessing having a great gift (my daughter) from God.

Other things, with our new house and large lawn, I can practice my skill in gardening. I was graduated from Agriculture Faculty in Agronomy specialist when I was 23 years old. Of course, the new climate I live right now in PA, USA has given me a big challenge to learn more about many new plants and how to plant and maintenance them. I am always excited to learn the new intersting things.

I also have special hobby. It is singing. I had joined with 6 Vocal Groups and a choir when I was still in my country. I started to join VG when I was 15 years old until my age reached 31 years old before I left my country to USA.

Other activities I like are writing, gardening/landscaping, cooking, crafting, dancing, trying something new, good and interesting. My writings such as poetry was ever published at local daily newspaper in my city when I was in Senior High School. My short stories and poetries had been publsihed at monthly school magazine since I was in Junior High School. Since I was busy with my study in university, I was absent many years in writing but in the middle of December 2006 I started to write again at the online Indonesia news, www.kabarindonesia.com based on Citizen Reporter (this website was very new. It was around 1 month old when I joint there). I really enjoy writing there. I can write my sharing, experiences, opinion, tips, etc freely with its rules I should obey.

From there I became an active citizen reporter and did some volunteer works from translating Indonesia-English, juries in several competitions, etc. Then they offered me becoming an Editor. Because of my capabilites in several things that they needed, couple months later they offered me as Managing Editor. I never thought they would give me that greatful position. I accept it with my great honor to participate in enhance the popularity of that new website to all Indonesian around the world. I also have 2 personal blogs I always update almost every week. One blog is special contents of everything about me, my hobby, my writings, my thoughts, my activities, etc. And the other one is dedicated to my little daughter. I really enjoy sharing everything in my 2 personal blogs. They are the places that I can record my life and my family life there. I also get many new friends from blogging, until one day, one of my blogger friends invited me to join in his religion Blog. He collected some capable bloggers who can write there about christianity life. I was so glad accepting his inviting.

To improve my skill in English especially in writing, I join with Helium. I get strong encouragement here because I see in Helium, there are many good and experiences writers have joint in. It doesn't make me feel pessimist but its opposite. I would like to show the world, although English is not my mother language, but I can be counted in Englih writings. Someday I wish I can write a book in English beside in Indonesian. Right now I would like to focus to my family, my part time job at Walmart Supercenter, and at www.kabarindonesia.com site. I believe when the right time comes, I would be able to focus to write a book as one of my dreams.
