My Calligraphy Journey

Image
Heloo guys! Finally find back my courage to update my blog hihihi This time, I will share the progress of   my last year mission : to learn something new. And I choose Calligraphy :) I joined a private calligraphy class last year, March 4, 2019. I learned dip pen calligraphy for the first time. It was not easy, trust me hahaha This picture is the result of my practice after the class. 04.03.2019 I practiced almost every day because my teacher told me to keep practice and take photos of it. One day you will realize how much progress you have made. I am so glad I did what my teacher said, that’s why I can blog my progress and feel proud of myself :)

Donor Darah, SIAPA TAKUT?

Sedikit bercerita mengenai donor darahku yang ke-10 hari ini... Setelah absen donor darah selama setengah tahun, hari ini berkesempatan melakukannya. Nah, cerita donor darah ini penuh ups and downs. Pertama kali donor darah itu di bulan November 2015, di mana saat itu memberanikan diri untuk mulai donor darah. Deg2an pasti di awal (first timer lo hahaha ), tapi really enjoy it and addicted to it J Dilanjutkan dengan donor dua kali di tahun 2016, masih belum berani donor empat kali setahun. Hingga akhirnya bertekad untuk donor darah empat kali di tahun 2017, dan berhasil. Bangga dan bahagia dengan mission yang tercapai di tahun 2017. Masa-masa down dimulai di tahun 2018. Sempat dua kali gagal donor darah karena HB tidak mencukupi. Sempat down waktu itu, karena baru pertama kalinya gagal donor. But, I don't give up! Setelah melalukan beberapa usaha untuk menaikkan HB, saya berhasil donor darah di bulan Mei 2018. Tetap mempertahankan kesehatan tubuh dan asupan gizi, say...

About me and PATRIA...

Hello everyone! I guess I haven't made a proper introduction about myself. So here it is! * * I'm Valentine Wijaya from Medan. I was born in a Buddhist family 24 years ago. I have three older sisters that makes me the smallest daughter in my family. I can say that I'm lucky to know Buddhist since I was born, although it's still traditional Buddhist. I graduated from STMIK - STIE Mikroskil in 2015 with Computer Degree. I love doing charity w ith my friends when I was still in college. We did free foods, visited orphanage, and nursing home. But after graduation, life gets busier and we seldom meet each other again, so the charity is stopped. I also joined a Buddhist organization when I was in college, which is called Keluarga Mahasiswa Buddhis (KMB). Although I joined it at my last two semesters, I learnt a lot new things and got so many new friends. From this organization, I started to know what Patria is. I joined Patria in January 2016. I was asked ...

TRIP TO SAMOSIR

Image
Hi! Today is the last day of my long holidays. So, I'm gonna post my holiday trip to Samosir. I call it "AWESOME SAMOSIR" Samosir really gave me unforgetable memories. It was such a great trip to visit Samosir. Although the journey was so rough, eight hours trip, bro! From Medan to Samosir 8 hours and from Samosir to Medan 8 hours too... We started our journey at Thursday 14th around 1 p.m. and reached Samosir around 8 p.m. We reached our hotel using land transportation, no ferry. Actually we planned to use ferry to cross from Prapat to Samosir, but we canceled it because the news said that it was a long queqe. I went there with PATRIA-ers and Dayaka of Vihara Mahasampatti. There were all 25 people, including one Samanera. Samanera Dhammasiri was with us during this trip. I'm not going to write so much, I just want to share all the pictures and videos I took during the trip. Let the pictures show you how beautiful Samosir was! Some pictures were taken by my fr...
