Happiness. It's amazing how simple words can bring someone so much happiness. How are words on a screen processed in the mind, and through some intricate processes, bring the feeling of joy?

I was just talking with my little brother, Bayu online. He's so cute, now he has a girlfriend! I love ibu, bapak, and Bayu completely. Bapak always says "Thank you for remembering us." He doesn't realize that it's near impossible to forget about them. I don't think they have a full understanding about how much joy their generosity has brought me. I don't think they realize that I can never forget about them. I have a picture of them sitting on my desk right now and wallet size copy of that in my wallet.

"You are the best sister." -Bayu

Yes, those were the words that sent me sky high and smiling until now. It took me awhile to calm down, but I responded, "You are the best sister too." I love that boy to pieces. Sure he's a little rebellious and always carry this "I'm too cool for this world" attitude, but he's such as sweetheart when you get to know him.

I will work hard, so one day soon, I will see these people again. They're physically so far away, but always so close to my heart.
