Celebrate Christmas in Simplicity

Hello our beloved readers! Sorry for not being active these days... We're so busy doing our exams in school.. How tiring :(
First, we wanna wish you a very...

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2011! ^^

May this Christmas bring us joy and happiness.

And let's hope to be as pure as Baby Jesus.

Welcome him with a brand new sincere heart ♥

Ah.. Christmas always brings a different atmosphere to the world. It brings us joy, happiness, excitement, etc. What do you usually wait in Christmas day? Presents, Christmas tree, snow, Santa Claus? Or the most awaited one.. BABY JESUS? ☺

 I little bit upset to Santa Claus.. no, no, not because I'm too old to get presents from him or not because he didn't give me my present.. it's because he often steals Jesus' stage :(

Christmas is the day when Jesus Christ was born. But nowadays, children wait for Santa in Christmas, not wait for Jesus.. It's CHRISTmas guys, not santamas or clausmas..

We also often celebrate Christmas with partying. It's good, though, to celebrate this joyful day with our family, friends, relatives, or our beloved ones. But, it'll be better if we can bring joy to others, especially those who in needs. Jesus must be happier then ^^

Let's celebrate Christmas in simplicity and spread the happiness to the world! Merry Christmas! ^^

My favorite SHINee's reality show is "SHINee Hello Baby" where the five boys become five appas (dads) and they have to take care of a four years old (in Korean age, three years old in universal age) baby Jung Yoogeun.

Holiday Destinations in Asia

Final exam is OVER! It's almost holiday here, in Indonesia! Maybe it's already holiday for some of you :)
Now, I wanna share some of interesting places in Asia that can be added to your holiday destination list. Check them out! ☺

1. Kuta Beach, Bali, Indonesia

First, I wanna introduce you one of beautiful beaches in my country, Indonesia. Kuta Beach is a famous one. A lot of tourists, foreign or domestic, visit this beach. It can be really crowded here in holidays. You can try some watersport, like jet ski, banana boat, parasailing, surfing, etc. You also can just sit and sunbathing or make a sand castle ;) Beside Kuta Beach, Bali has some of other beautiful beaches such as Nusa Dua Beach, Sanur Beach, etc. There are some beautiful beach too outside Bali. You can visit Senggigi Beach (Lombok), Pangandaran Beach (West Java), etc. We also have Bunaken Marine Park for a great sea-sightseeing :)

2. Ko Samui, Thailand

Ko Samui, island of Surat Thani Province, is an island off the east coast of the Kra Isthmus in Thailand. It has its own airport (named Ko Samui Airport) so you can reach this island easily. After the exploding tourism in Ko Samui there has been a growth in building resorts, bungalows and luxury private villas on the island. It also has some beautiful beaches such as Chaweng Beach, Lamai Beach, Maenam Beach and Bophut Beach. You can enjoy snorkeling here, with a great view of underwater world, kayaking at Coral Island, or have a jungle trip by riding an elephant. What a great experience to share with your mates!


3. Tokyo, Japan

Tokyo is one of great cities in the world. It located in Japan and has some of interesting place to visit. If you wanna have some fun and go shopping, visit Tokyo! There are so many places to visit here such as Harajuku (a central place of extreme Japanese teenager's culture), Asakusa (the tone of the old Tokyo, where Sensoji, a popular Buddhist temple was built in the 7th century), Shibuya, Ginza, and Shinjuku (shopping and entertainment area), The Imperial Garden, or the beautiful Ueno Park which has some notable art museums. Visiting Tokyo can be entertaining and educating :)


4. Gyeonggi-do, South Korea

Located in the mid-western part of Korea, Gyeonggi-do embraces Seoul and Incheon. It offers a variety of beautiful tourist destinations and cultural facilities along the Hangang River. Gyeonggi-do is also proud to embody traditional Korean culture with such places as the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress, the Korean Folk Village and Icheon, which is famous for ceramics. Moreover, visitors can also visit Everland, a huge and exciting amusement park. Seoul, the capital city of South Korea, is also a place for shopping and entertainment. You can see the beauty of Seoul on this music video by 소녀 세대 (SNSD or Girls Generation) and Super Junior.

That's all my recommendation for Holiday Destinations in Asia. Are you interested to visit one of them? ☺

Speak about Edwin van der Sar :")

"I want to thank the manager, he bought me six years ago, maybe a couple of years too late. I wish I'd done it [joined United] earlier. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time here. The fans and the other players have been magnificent. I'll always keep a warm place in my heart for Manchester United, the world's biggest club."

"I've thoroughly enjoyed my time here. I'll always keep a warm place in my heart for Manchester United, the biggest club in the world.

"I want to thank the manager, the fans, the players, and also my family - my parents, my wife and my kids." 

Edwin van der Sar (via: manutd.com)

Perginya Edwin van der Sar dari Manchester United karena sudah memasuki masa pensiun memang sangat disayangkan. Kiper asal Belanda ini nyaris mencabut putusan pensiunnya. Tapi, setelah dipikir dua kali akhirnya ia tetap bersikukuh untuk pensiun. Sebuah keputusan yang baik di umurnya yang tak lagi muda dan keputusan yang menyedihkan buat para fansnya, seperti saya (resa) :'(

EDWIN,  WE REALLY LOVE YOU! Thank You. You're the legend! (hope Edwin see it)

Manchester United : The Champ19ns!

Ya, kita ChaRiSa mau ngucapin selamat untuk Manchester United yang udah menjuarai Barclays Premier League 2010/11. Kemenangan MU kali ini akhirnya bisa menyaingi rekor Liverpool yang pernah sama-sama meraih gelar juara BPL ke-18. Atas kemenangan ini, MU meraih gelar ke 19.

Di tengah kegembiraan ini, ada juga kesedihan yang dialami seluruh keluarga Manchester United. Beberapa pemain seperti Edwin van der Sar, Sir Ryan Giggs, Gary Neville harus melepas Manchester United. Ya, mereka "legend"nya MU. Dan, pensiunnya mereka sangat disayangkan sebenarnya. 


Sedikit cerita :
Di pertandingan terakhir melawan Blackpool dengan hasil 4 - 2 di Old Trafford, MU semakin menambah poinnya. Pasukan Sir Alex ini dipimpin oleh Edwin van der Sar sendiri. Alasan mengapa ia menjadi kapten, bukan Nemanja Vidic sebab ini merupakan pertandingan terakhir di Old Trafford untuk penjaga gawang asal Belanda ini :'( *sedih sekali. Sementara Ryan Giggs dan Neville tidak mengikutin pertandingan ini.

Captain Edwin van der Sar

Di akhir pertandingan, Edwin van der Sar naik ke atas podium untuk mengucapkan beberapa kalimat tentang Manchester United, fansnya, dll. Saya (Resa) yakin tidak sedikit orang yang sedih mendengar ucapannya :'(


Yaa, itulah momen sedihnya. Setelah itu, acara pengangkatan piala dan pemakaian medali serta yang lainnya dimulai. Satu per satu pemain, pelatih, manager, dan yang lainnya naik ke atas podium, diakhiri dengan Nemanja Vidic, player of the year Manchester United musim ini. Piala diangkat oleh Vidic untuk yang pertama, dilanjutkan van der Sar, lalu Javier Hernandez, dan yang lainnya. Sungguh momen yang sangat luar biasa :"D

CONGRATULATIONS, UNITED!

 Ya, sebenarnya masih banyak lagi yang mau saya ucapkan. Sayangnya pasti akan sangat banyak sekali. Sekali lagi selamat untuk Manchester United! Glory Glory Man United!

Edwin van der Sar dan Piala Barclays terakhirnya :')
