Teacher's Day = Thanksgiving Day?

We don't have Thanksgiving day or even Thanksgiving dinner, as I can see many gorgeous pictures captured the moment almost in every blogs, here in Indonesia. However, we have Teacher's Day, which we (teachers) are very grateful of, on the same day. On this specific day, many presents are coming to us, it has many meanings though; such as a bribery so we get loose of their kids or an expression from the bottom of parents' heart because we educate their children or even an apology for their kids' misbehaves. For all of the good reasons, I, on behalf of every teachers who got presents :P, am thankful, especially for the person who had brilliant idea that teachers should have their day!

I have these amazing cards from my boy, which I use them as bookmarks. I love handmade! Thanks!

I love this particularly :)

Will somebody call me 'Gran'?

Looking at our earth condition now, we can tell that the nature is mad at us. Some floods here, some earthquakes there, some tsunamis down here, some eruptions up there. The heat burns us and the rains drown us. It's a revenge for what humans have done in the past.

I got this chain message informing us that the earth temperature is going to increase four degrees in 10 months. Can you imagine that?

Go green is not a strange word for us again. All of the campaigns has been done to awaken humans. Yet some of us are still ignorant. Take me as a subject. I still use plastic bags! I can't stop using it! The big excuse is, of course, to accommodate house's trashes. I like to take a shower for minutes! I prefer to read a book rather than read online! And many other ignorance.

Moving on, it's also very familiar for us with this "The end of the world is coming" line. Yeah, all of the natural disaster and the moral corruption are signs of the end of the world. It's written clearly on the bible. But, does it make one to be more religious? more caring? more ignorant?

For me, I become both optimistic and pessimistic at the same time. I become more optimistic knowing that the end is coming, so I need to be my best. And pessimistic too doubting that there will be future for me.

The picture is very much influenced by Gran in Double Act by Jacqueline Wilson.
