Flash back to what had happened in 2013, below are several things to describe how colorful 2013 is:
NEW JOB
As of May 1, 2013, I started my new journey at ….. I hope I can contribute many to the company.
FAMILY IN PADANG
In the late of August, my girlfriend and I went to Padang to visit her family there. This was also as my responsibility as a man to introduce myself to her family. Overall, I enjoyed the trip; the family was very nice and welcoming, foods are superb.
N.E.R.D
Non Erosive Reflux Disease, this has been successfully making me suffered from a bad stomachache and terrible upper-abdomen symptoms from April 2013. I was very scared if this could be a heart condition or not. Having checked my medical condition to Penang, I found that this was not a heart condition, but totally a stomach problem.
Although sometimes I can still feel discomfort in my upper abdomen and chest, but things are getting better now. In the end of January 2014, I will have to do the control to Penang again to determine what will be the next cure.
Thank God, that this was not as bad as I thought. However, I still have to control my meal and life style. Thanks to my family and my girlfriend as well for they were always there to support and take care of me when I was run to a hospital, etc. Especially to my girlfriend, thank to accompany me in Penang to run several tests for medical checkup.
FIRST YEAR
October 27, 2013 remarked my first year relationship with my girlfriend. I'm so happy so I cannot say anything about this. I can only hope this lasts forever.
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR
Christmas is always special. Had a Christmas' Eve Mass with my lovely girlfriend at St Theresia, and also had a dinner with the Bebs at Potato Head Garage. Livia's mom visited us along the Christmas holiday in Jakarta. Had a year-end dinner with my ex colleagues at Goods Diner. Finally, closed the year 2013 with family at Grand Tropic Hotel, had family casual dinner, watched fireworks in some of western part of Jakarta.
IN A SUMMARY
2013 was a very struggling year to my health condition. Lots of money and time spent to overcome the situation. However, I found that my family situation are getting better and better. Dad is in a more-friendly type of father now. Mom gets happier and last month she just had a holiday in Singapore. There were still frictions, but they were still normal.
Rio and Lia have good early stage of career. I'm very sure that they can be successful persons. I also hope their relationship with their boy/girl friend will go to the next step in the future.
I think my relationship with my girlfriend is getting deeper and we are ready to step further.
2014
This will be a big year for me as a person. I'll be thirty years old and I'll marry my girlfriend in October 11, 2014. I wish and pray that everything will run smoothly, and the most importantly is our marriage-life after the wedding.
I pray for everyone's health and happiness. Hopefully, we will have better career ahead, will have more quality time to our beloved ones, will be wiser and more mature, and above all, we will get closer to God.
