Chasing Alex (Fiction) Part 1

http://www.lifehack.org/517175/chasing-happiness-is-what-makes-you-unhappy-doing-this-can-bring-you-lasting-joy?ref=mail&mtype=daily_newsletter&mid=20170109_editor_pick&uid=1065094&hash=77817e7a756d80757f6d7c806d7e757a6d4c73796d75783a6f7b79&action=click

My name is Amy. I am the youngest. My sisters are Julia and Meg. One day we decided to go out for picnic because the weather was fine, not rainy as usual. When Meg was preparing our picnic basket, suddenly there was a frisbee flying and almost hit her.

"Hey whose frisbee is this?" she yelled.

A young, skinny and tall man approached us.

"Sorry my mistake. I was asleep when my nephew threw it. Are you okay?"

"Be careful next time. Somebody can kidnap your nephew."

"I'm awfully sorry."

"Never mind Meg. Let me introduce me and my sister. I'm Julia the eldest, Meg the 2nd an iid Amy, the quiet one is the youngest. Are you a newcomer? I never saw you before."

"I am Alex. Yes I am a nanny and also study at Melbourne Uni at the moment."

"Really? I and Meg graduated in La Trobe. Amy how come you never saw Alex? Oh yes, I forgot. You always hide in library."

"I often see you there and in book shop as well. But you were wearing reading glasses, right?"

Amy didn't answer. She was daydreaming that she and Alex are going to the ball and basket ball games. Actually she knew Alex because she was a librarian assistant when she didn't have any classes.

Hi all. Do you have a facebook account?

Some people say social media can kill your chance to meet real people not online. I did video calls not skype only to my relatives of course that I've met.

My Ideal House

Do you like to live in a palace or a house? I'd prefer to live in a big house with lots of furniture just like an apartment or a boarding house because I can't live by myself and 2 cats.

I love my house even though it is small but comfortable.

What abput you? Which room do you like to spend time there?

I'd prefer my library in front of a fire place, sipping a green tea milk and choco chips biscuits made by a bakery.

I want to have a coffee table and games room someday...

https://themighty.com/2016/12/signs-of-depression-recovery/This morning I lost my Ielts student. He and his mum didn't tell the admin so I came as usual to my part time office, assumed that he still needed my lessons. I waited for an hour then I asked Ms Rizki to call his mum. It turned out that she had paid full for last month. Act confidently, I called my driver and said good bye to my friends there. It's the 2nd time I lost my job because my other boss told me that he didn't hire me anymore because no more  new students in his course. He said that it's time for me to take a vacation.

Well my bad luck continued. A week before new year I got poisoned after ate British fish and chips in a Japanese restaurant or after I ate an ice cream? I ate too much and got sick felt like want to die. I refused hospital coz too embarrassed if my father colleagues knew.

Luckily my mum gave me honey and my husband looked after me even though I threw up 2 nights in a row. The next day I felt better.

I am ready to face anything then I left my ATM card in security desk in a mall if I am not mistaken. Tomorrow I'll fix this if it really lost. I'll tell the bank that the card is expired this month but it's lost so she can't cut it as procedure. That's all about my misfortune so I will review my 1st new year resolution:

Be happy by listening to my fave music, participating in writing contest due this wednesday, reading daily newsletters, posting on facebook, instagram and path, talk to new friends and old ones, take care of my appearance by put on my red lipstick and make my readers laught at my BBM status.

What about you? Are you happy now?

Be Who You Are

Have you ever been old that you were fake? Only copy cat your teen idol. It's normal as a teenager but as an adult you must make up your mind. Who do you want to be? Me, I always admire my grandmother. She was good at speaking Dutch, French and German. When she studied with other Dutch classmates she was a good swimmer. She also great at cooking. I missed her after she and my grandpa died.

They always encouraged me to become number one. I got 1st rank twice in elementary school. My parents didn't mind as long as I am healthy and happy. These days parents force their premature child to go to school in early preschool. What about you? What was your child experience? Who motivated you. Ok thank you for reading. Happy Friday afternoon wherever you are!

Do you know Bipolar Disorder? Famous people such as Catherine Zetta Jones and Robin Williams had it. I also have bipolar friends, smart but manic depressive.

They can experience mood swings first happy then sad. It just happens just like uninvited guest.

If you suddenly feel low, unenergetic and lose interests maybe you should consult your shrink. The doctor will test whether your family genetically inherits that to you. Mania happens if you suddenly want to spend all your paycheck by shopping online which becomes trending topic in Indonesia nowadays. 

If you had to choose a mania who is always happy go lucky Tiger a risk taker and a depressed Eeyore or greedy Pooh who will mostly be your friend? I'd prefer Piglet because she? is shy and afraid of many things just like I was. Good evening all

My Happy Ending

If you are happy why worry about what others think..Do what makes you happy not what makes them happy..If they know you are happy, they should be happy for you.Who do you love the most? Is it God first or your family? Share what sacrifices you've done for your closest friend and family. For me, I quit my full time job because I want to spend more time with my son and family...

http://www.lifehack.org/426221/what-a-typical-day-is-like-for-introvertsI was always cycling or jogging with my husband and my father but sadly they are too busy because they always pray at At-taqwa, the famous mosque in our city.

My husband is an extrovert, while I'm introvert. I have many friends since I was a child. My family thought I was a shy and quiet girl, while I hided my real characters haha.

So how do you know if you are extrovert or introvert? There's also a mix of them -- ambivert. What type are you? If you have to date someone which type do you like best?

Morning all. Today I want to discuss the importance about how healthy you are by determining your sleep pattern. I am a coffee and tea addict no wonder sometimes I have insomnia from time to time, playing FB games especially hidden objects. I also typing and preparing Ppt for my next week lesson in a midwife college. Top of it I try to save some money because I want to pursue my next goal: a master course in Melbourne with my son.

With all those thoughts running in my head make my brain and mind won't sleep. I even play Holy Qur'an in my mp3 player which really helps because when you are sleeping like that my guardian angel is also listening and keep me safe from nightmares.

I become a morning person today when I wake up without an alarm clock. I pray and prepare for my son's breakfast with Tom Yam soup it's tasty! After his father goes with him, I walk to a mini market not far from our house. I really enjoy morning walk. If I had a dog I think it's fun to walk it. But my kitten always travel by it self. OK I must take a shower after I have a proper breakfast not just a honey and dancow cereal in a tiny bowl hahaha....After reading this please let me know what type are you?

My latest Facebook note

https://www.facebook.com/notes/kurniati-evalinde-saptarina/the-best-thing-about-moving-in-and-out/10153902383395718

My boss's daughter has always been living abroad so that makes her smarter and more independent than anybody else around her age.

My 1st time moving school when I was in 2nd grade of Senior High School in Bandung. My peers didn't care about me and sometimes I felt I wasn't belong. But later I met new friends who had the same hobby as I am reading and traveling.

I can't find a better school and college there.

I was lucky that my father could afford me to study at private uni foreign language.

That's all for now. Have a nice lunch and break time.

What My Life Looks Like

http://http://inspower.co/create-your-own-sunshine/

Yesterday my husband and I went for our monthly check up at Mitra Plumbon Hospital. First I went to an oculist then he checked his cholesterol.

Our health and healthy diet/life style can't be ignored.

Next week I will continue my 8th meeting with my midwives students at Akbid Graha Husada. It turned out that some of my final students failed in competency tests.

It's important to maintain our time management with family, colleagues and virtual friends.

That's my life looks like everyday is always a new chapter. How about u? Do you live to the fullest and alway chase your long term goals such as get a new job, get married, buy a sport car or run your own business?

Dear all Britpop fans. Today I want to share how much this band has influenced me so I am inspired to work as an EFL teacher and an indie writer in my wattpad

This afternoon my Mum cooked me crepes and I ate it with orange jam. Before my Dad ended our discussion about politic in our country, I prepared my teaching references to be sent to a local newspaper in my city.

Who mostly supports me in this band? I would say all because these lads are genious and have different skills. Graham the third on the right has a solo projects and I love "Freakin Out", "You and I" etc.

Then there is Alex James the cheese God, has 3 kids and I had a crush on him before I got a wedding proposal from my husband now. His wive is beautiful.

Both Damon Albarn and Dave Rowntree can't be forgotten.

I don't pick them by their looks only. They won "The Universal" in MTV music award.

I think that's enough. If I could see and watch their concert I would ask for wefie and their signature/autograph/posters and biograpy. How about you ladies? Do you like Song 2, Beetle Bum or Tender?

Hi happy weekend, but I must teach until 3.30 pm before going to a school event at Cirebon Super Block. It is my 1st top of my list and I always have dates with my best friend and husband. Yes guys, he is the same person that I met when I graduated. He listens without interruption. He cooks, washes the car and shares chores with me. Do you have the same relationship like we have? One more thing how do you date based on your culture before you get married? Do you make friends first or just connect?

I was known picky when I date or made friendship. But if you meet me from the 1st time and give me your wide smile then the ice queen melts. This story isnt about me. She is my best friend who can't get married coz she takes care her sister's kids 24 hours if she is free. She is my friend at college. We never discuss who is her soul mate because she doesnt care.Is it wise? Please give your opinion and about me I always know that I can love only looks but it does not make them my soul mate? How do you know he is the one?

Why Do I write by Cathie E West

I have several reasons why I write not just because it is one of the lecturer's requirements. See for yourself.

To Serve

Sharing information—ideas, experiences, skills, research—that helps educators become more proficient is a valuable way to serve others. A book is the ideal communication vehicle for
“sharing” since it has the potential to reach a wide audience. Applying Servant Leadership in Today’s Schools by Mary Culver (2009) exemplifies the type of book that “serves” practitioners. Culver presents service leadership strategies coupled with authentic scenarios that support their implementation.
To Lead
Professionals in the vanguard of leading-edge educational practices often write books that show others how to follow along. A case in point is Richard and Rebecca DuFour and Robert Eaker. This influential trio has written extensively about the role professional learning.
