How to Get Presents from Santa (12 years old or below)

Do you believe in Santa Claus? Well, perhaps only a few of you would answer "Yes". This red-dressed old man has been a special christmas icon, but yet we still doubt whether he really exists or not. I don't know if it's a good time to share my childhood experience, but since this blog is the only place I could write my idea into reality, I'm telling you now SERIOUSLY that Santa Claus DOES EXIST. Here's the way how you could get your present.

It was my primary school friend, Priscillia, who told me the way. However, she importantly told me to believe and not to have any doubt that my wish would be fulfilled.

4th of December finally came. I was told that during the night, Santa Claus would deliver the christmast presents for kids (means Santa Claus distributes the present on the evening before 5th of December). As soon as I arrived at home after school, I picked some green grass from my garden and put them on my shoes. My shoes were then filled with grass and I put them below the christmas tree which I decorated with my sister before the first week of advent (4 weeks before christmas). At night, right before everyone went to bed, I prayed to Santa Claus, telling what I wished for.

When I woke up the next morning, I hurried to reach the christmas tree and amazingly, I found no grass at all in my shoes! Lying beside them, a present from santa: It was not a big colorful box with ribbons, but a small disc case, covered with white paper.

He wrote for me; here is how it showed (which I copied exactly as how he wrote it, whcich was clearly not a writing style of any member of my family):

"
FOR : A LITTLE GOOD BOY ADITYA

I JUST PASSED BY AND SAW YOU FELD INTO SLEEP
I HEARD YR PRAYER,BUT I HAD NOT ENOUGH TIME
TO PREPARE AND BRING WHAT YOU WANTED.
I HOPE, THIS PRESENT MAKES YOU HAPPY.
SORRY,IF YOU DO NOT GET ALL WAHT YOU WANT, BUT
AT LEAST YOU ARE LUCKY, BECAUSE YOU HAVE YR PARENT
AND A SISTER, WHO REALY LOVE YOU.THERE ARE MANY OTHER
UNLUCKY CHILDREN, WHOM NOONE CARES OF.
PLEASE PRAY AND THINK OF THEM TOO. THANKS.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

with love,
St. Claus

The present I got was a VCD of Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone movie. Then what was the present I wished? ...it was the Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone Game for Playstation. I was not very disappointed but I was very happy to recieve this present from Santa Claus himself!(oh come on Santa, if you happen to read this, I want you to know that I was very delight with your present. It's only a slight difference, and it's not as if I had the VCD before you gave me).

Before I end this, I'd like to remind you again to pray for the children whom nobody cares of, just like what Santa told me to.....

Alright, that was a real experience of my life that I will never forget. You may say I'm a dreamer with too much fantasy, childish or perhaps unrealistic, but in fact, all of these reality happened and not in a dream indeed. In Roman Catholic church, we believe in a Saint named "Santo Claus" as well, whose life was really similar to the figure "Santa Claus". So what's the reason for you not to believe in Santa Claus?

So from now on, don't ever say that Santa Claus doesn't exist, because he does exist! Tell all the kids in this world to believe in Santa Claus and share the happiness! With your strong belief and nice attitude, you will be rewarded with presents from Santa! Let everyone experience this magical moments themselves!

So, when 4th of December comes, for all children around the world, no matter you are...

He sees you when you're sleeping
He knows when you're awake
He knows if you've been bad or good
So be good for goodness sake
You better watch out
You better not cry
You better not pout
Im telling you why
SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN
...with presents for you!
:)

Joy on Earth, Peace for Everyone.
Ho-ho-ho !!! Meeeerrrrry Chhrriiistmaaassss !!!

Drawing with Pencil

Looking back 2-3 years ago, you may find me drawing with my HB, 2B, 4B, and 6B pencils at home or school. "Mammals", "Pisces" and "Birds" were some of the themes, and I produced these pictures as the results. They may not be very excellent, but I am delight of the results. I'm sharing them because I think that they're just cute for everyone to see !



"Cat and Mouse" -In Tom and Jerry, usually the mouse wins!




"Near The Coral" - maybe they are just "passing-by fish", but what's the reason of drawing only the coral?




"The Woodpecker" - How much wood would a wood-chuck chuck if a wood-chuck would chuck wood? (this one is my favourite ! yeah!)


You are very welcomed to copy and save them on your computer for free !!

Just bare in mind that you can easily lie to others, claiming that they're your works, but you absolutely cannot lie to God and your own self, your own heart :)

The Dream That Had Perished From Our Education

Education, in many people’s opinion, is an investment for the future. A few years ago, our future was guaranteed by wealth but now the social guarantee for the future belongs to the education. It means that people see a better future depending on their education.

However, let’s now take a look to the grades from the schools in our country. Those final marks are spectacular, but many among those certificates take the students to land on unsuitable jobs, such as maids, servants, cleaning services, underpaid laborer, blue-collar worker, and sometimes ending up in the world of prostitution (indeed, it doesn't require good marks on any subject at all!).

There will be less job opportunities in the future. In fact, there are many more things – such as economy crisis, natural disaster, or the never-ending political conflict – that may cause someone to be regarded as useless at work. Arguably some people may start to think that the education could not guarantee a better future. Therefore, schools in Indonesia should not teach their students only to get brilliant scores on the certificate, but also assure a better future for the students by developing creative and productive personality with systematic plans. In that way, the present-day young generation will be able to thrive and survive in the future, as they are trained to create their own work, and not merely to search for jobs, which are surely limited.
