Beautiful Weekend

I really am thankful to God for this wonderful weekend He has given me. It started yesterday. I did a part time job, it is still a probation tho. A tiring job it was. However I get to learn to know Ana, a woman in her 50, whom worked part time for the same position. What I did was watching how she did her job and helped her too. When it was time to back home, I found out that Ana lives very close to me. So we end up went back home walking and I enjoyed every moment talking with her along the way home. She invited me for coffee/ tee for sunday, which is today, and I gladly accepted the invitation.

It was around 5.30 PM when I reached home and I was super tired, decided to rest a bit but end up taking long time before I move to make my dinner. After that I started taking flour, haselnut, butter, and everything else I need to bake. It was at 9 PM. At 11 I finally finish baking my haselnut cookies with white chocolate chunk. This is the second haselnut cookies I made in this 2 weeks. The first was shown in the second picture,nwith caramel as the filling. They both taste very good, I am so proud. With this ends my saturday.


Sunday... I made it to church and then at 2 PM, I stand right in front of Ana's house. A very beautiful house. I like it there. She is living with her sons. One is around my age, Alex, and the other is Christian, a teenager. I was there for 3 hours and we speak about a lot of things. Ana is very nice and so are her sons. I really was enjoying myself there. Talking about many random things: working, taxes, social insurance, school, Indonesia, and so on...and so on. I never really realize that I really am craving for social interaction for these three years until today.

Me as a foreigner, being alone in foreign country; where the people are not as open and friendly as in Indonesia, makes me hard to find friends or acquintance. Even so with such an introvert personality like mine. They do not talk alot, I talk even fewer. So every attempt I made to have social living here is always going to dead end. That is why I was very happy meeting Ana who is more talkactive than most of the people here.

This experience give me a lesson. Maybe this sounds klise and most people knows already. I got to know that how an invitation can worth alot to a foreigner. This I will remember to do incase I meet foreigners as lonely, as clueles, and maybe as introverted as me lol. I went back home from Ana's with joy and smile and also with some cakes and chocolates.

How beautiful is today...how beatiful is this weekend!

PS.
Alex told me I look like an 18 years old girl. I do not know if I should be happy or sad with this, considering how big I yearn to build my own family lol.
