#Day253 going to my first and last American prom with him is something that i will always remember.
“Look at the flowers! Red tulip, my favorite color”
“Yeah”
“It’s red, white, and purple”
“No, it’s blue”
“It’s purple”
“My dress is blue”
“Yea It’s blue. It’s american colour”
“What? There’s no such thing called American colour”
“Red, white blue, American flag. Now you are in America”
“Oh yea i know, and i am leaving soon”
I am happy that i went to prom with you. The fact that I am leaving soon made me have that mixed-up kind of feeling. He told me not to think about it even though i always did. He cheered me up when I miss home. thankyou for having me. Last night was #ciamique.

#Day250 a post for yesterday.
Happy earth day.
That moment when you realize everything has changed.
It’s spring, the flowers are blooming. No more snow, no more warm hot chocolate.
No more falling on the ground because of the slippery ice.
No more hello, more goodbye instead.
September 25, 2014 from my journal.
“We played hide and seek in the woods.
The little boy with the grey shirt said, "catch me, chase me”
People ignored him.
They hid their feelings out in the woods.
The wind was so chill.
It was cold but i could hear how peaceful the sound of the leaves and the branch that fall onto the ground, even though that little boy keep yelling at people around him.
He wanted attention, he wanted more hello.
I am good in keeping silence.
And i don’t realize after i wrote it that i, my self is such an ignorant.
Even the earth responded to him, by letting the wind blows"
You don’t need to be someone else to hang with me.
Cause there will be no more.
No more me, no more time.

#Day249 {kemarin}
Perasaan itu semakin kuat di akhir.
Perasaan rindu kepada yang di rumah. Perasaan sayang kepada yang disini.
Baru membaca kutipan dari Tere Liye.
“ Bolehkah menyatakan kerinduan?
Perasaan kepada seseorang?
Tentu saja boleh.
Tapi jika kita belum siap untuk mengikatkan diri dalam hubungan yang serius,
ikatan yang bahkan oleh negara pun diakui dan dilindungi,
maka sampaikanlah perasaan itu pada angin saat menerpa wajah,
pada tetes air hujan saat menatap keluar jendela,
pada butir nasi saat menatap piring,
pada cicak di langit-langit kamar saat sendirian dan tak tahan lagi hingga boleh jadi menangis. ”

Semoga semua kehormatan perasaan kita dibalas dengan sesuatu yang lebih baik.
Semua kehati-hatian,
menghindari hal-hal yang dibenci,
akan membawa kita pada kesempatan terbaik.
Semoga.

#Day243 {late post from yesterday}
Last night my hostfamily helps me accomplish another goal in my exchange year. We watch the broadway tour’s Wicked!
They are my favorite people in US 😄
Being an exchange student in USA through AFS with The McGarvey is a wonderful #ciamique journey!
We have an adventurous journey through things we have done together.
AFS connected us with ONE LOVE.
We shared happiness, tears and laugh especially through music and running.
I’m glad to say that I am still here, living the rest of my exchange year. I wish there would be more pictures to put in our Reel Life!
So, please help us to have another adventurous #ciamique journey ahead by winning the AFS Reel Life competition!

#Day241 This is another picture from yesterday.
I guess i went to a lot of beach this spring. But this one is different, it’s more classic.
The boardwalk is cool too, they have a lot of cool shop there!
It’s a must place to visit in MD.
I recognize that our squad pose is too basic, its not even a squad since its inly two of us 😂 @mapinusi

#Day240 i spent my weekend with these ladies. We were there last fall but we created new memories in the spring. We had a great time in the beach. I like how we spent our time together because we understand each other. They know how it feels to have a fear of leaving. And they know how to have fun 🔫

“Do you think there is a piranha”
“It’s Indonesia, not Brazil”
“I am scared if im gonna fall”
“Im gonna protect you”
“You are the little sister!”
“You are short”
#shortgirlproblem
SHE IS DA BOOMBBBBBB
#Day236 i feel blessed this spring break. I’m in an adventure with amazing people. I have a super cool cousin and auntie that makes my journey #ciamique 🔫
Can’t wait to go back home and share the story with my favorite American mom, christina ! 🇺🇸👩
This morning i woke up and realize i saw a moon and a sun in the same time. It made my day 😄
“Ellen, do you see the sun over there? It’s sunrise”
“I see the moon”
“And the sun”
“How could they be together, in the same time? It’s so beautiful!”
“Because it’s a sunshine state, Florida”
I feel the goodvibes here, in Florida 🌞🌅

#Day234 All the way down to Sunshine state. We are in Orlando, Florida. 🌅
It’s another first day of school picture! We stopped by at the school that invite us in. 🎭 The Hogwarts, Where all the magical thing happens!
Sometimes, i dont know which one is real and which one is a dream because of all the magical things around me.
Well, i am living my dream 🌅

#Day233 - First & Last
First Day at Reynoldsburg Summit High School withSasha & the last day before spring break 🌅
So, Yesterday was my first day in RSHS and I enjoyed it. That makes me realize i REALLY wanna be in exchange program again! It feels amazing to know that i am feeling comfortable adjusting with new school that I have never been to. The first day at OM was different, I will be the girl in the corner that just smile & nod when people talked so fast to me. 7 months changes the way I act and the way I speak english. Yay! #fingerCrossed
I surprised i guess I am the only exchange student there. They have some foreigners tho 😄 The people are so cool & nice.
Next goal : i will be an exchange student 😄 again ✌️

#Day232 So today i flew to Ohio. A state in mid-west.
I walked around downtown Easton, Reynoldsburg and Columbus.
Ohio has different kind of interesting places to see. One of them is in The Short North Arts District in Columbus. I saw this street art at the corner of little shop at Short North.
There were a lot of cool & unique stuff in this art district. My favorite is this wall. They’re so close, yet to far.

#Day231 last night, we celebrate Seder and the last supper before Rosa turned 16!
The statue behind us show how people could have such a strong relationship in hugging. We were trying to do that, but we just laughed.
I am not the best hugger ever. But i do love hugging. Hugging is a powerful way of healing. And a way for you to keep in touch with someone without going any further and step into their comfort zone. ✌ ️Most countries have their own way to greet people. Kiss on the hand, cheek, forehead, handshake, and hugging.
Hugging is the most universal form of greeting i guess. There’s no hard feeling on it. You just hug 👌
“What do you feel right now knowing that you are gonna be 16 in 3 hours from now?”
“I don’t know, the number changes but it doesn’t mean everything changes in a day. We are growing up. It doesn’t take a day for you to be a completely different person”
“Yea, I agree. I was just curious. It might take a year, or longer. It’s the reason we have to wait for 365 days each year to celebrate that. It’s a process of growing up”
Happy Sweet 16th birthday Rosa! Yom Huledet @rosie._.rose יום הולדת שמח 😄 You are a sweet girl! I wish the best for you! Someday i’m going to see you as a grown up woman 💁 Keep your faith in you! That’s what makes you wonderful 💕
