It’s been a long time since my last cranes post, and it's been so many important things happen in my life. I should talk about it little by little on my future post.

Maybe some people have wondered why my cranes post stopped or paused. I'm just busy at that time. So, when it's stop, the hardest thing to do is to start again. I try to take some pictures but I wasn't managed to post it. I really sorry, to myself.

Paper: reuse paper

Story: paper cranes in the park.

It`s hard to go out, I feel so tired after playing in Disney, but I don`t want to break my promise.

I`m not wealth, then family and friends become the most precious things in my life. Sometimes it`s break my heart when I make them disappointed. So I try my best to not let this happen. And the scariest thing in my life is when your family/friend turns to be your enemy. I will try anything I can to fix this kind of situations. But if it doesn`t works, the best I can do is pray to The One Who Own the Heart to turn his/her heart then he/she can forgive everything wrong that I ever done.
