This visit was a truly mid-west-American experience. The food, the conversation with a truck driver @ a roadside and the party itself are a different experience from the one I get in NY. I enjoyed this trip A LOT :) Most of it because of the warm-hearted, welcoming family that invited me... d http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/14/Kansas_City_MO_Sept_07 Wed, 3 Oct 2007 05:38:38 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/10/NY-Connecticut_August-Sept_2007 Sat, 22 Sep 2007 06:13:43 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/9/Miami_august_07 Sat, 22 Sep 2007 05:54:08 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/8/friends_forever Sat, 22 Sep 2007 05:44:32 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/7/UK2K_gathering_august_07 Sat, 22 Sep 2007 05:36:11 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/6/English_Depts_gathering_July_06 Sat, 22 Sep 2007 05:17:31 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/5/Sydney-Tasmania_OZ_Nov_05 Sat, 22 Sep 2007 04:38:12 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/music/item/9/My_quarter_century_crisis_theme_song.._ha Sat, 22 Sep 2007 02:18:26 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/music/item/3/Couldnt_stop_listening_to_this_in_the_last_6_months...

I woke up this morning on my birthday with a very weird feeling asking myself “Am I really 25? THE 25?”<br><br>My childhood dream vision of myself at twenty-five suddenly crept into my mind, a tall, slim and long haired, successful, high achieving young woman at twenty-five who has it all. Now that I am actually turning 25, reality strikes me. I barely have all those physical characteristics I dreamed of. I have not achieved so much. And, there is no turning back.<br><br>I am sure each one of us had a childhood dream of being somebody at a certain age. Most of my friends consider 25 as the most significant age when all in the childhood dreams are supposed to be fulfilled. But, how many of us are left with a contradictive reality, leaving us with the feeling of dissatisfaction when turning a supposedly happy-go-lucky 25? Who says that we have to fulfill certain standards to be considered successful in our 25?<br><br>As I reco... http://purplecraver.multiply.com/journal/item/2/Quarter_Century_Crisis Fri, 21 Sep 2007 22:20:33 -0000 <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/RvSh9QoKCtoAAF@brtg1"><img class="alignright" src="http://images.purplecraver.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RvSh9QoKCtoAAF@brtg1/86.JPG?et=d0lY4D1fONo4xgI9wsYU%2BQ" border="0"></a>It was the year 2000 when I first met Ibu Ida as my teacher in UI’s English Department and never had I had before a teacher that was as seemingly demanding and ‘killing’ as her. That was at least my first impression about her. But, it turned out that her standards made me exceed my own expectations and saved me from the dark hole of other classes that I almost failed. Most of the reasons for that failure were simply because the English Department was not my first choice. But, she opened my eyes to the fact that I should not see the window that had already closed but that I should live up to the present that I had. <br><br>I had never imagined that four years later I would become her teaching assistant. She showed me in class how she was never reluctant to say thanks to the students when she learned something new from them.&nbsp; But, being her assistant was special because she taught me a lot more than just linguistics subjects and teaching methods. Every time we met, she always shared whate... http://purplecraver.multiply.com/journal/item/1/The_torch_that_never_burns_out_A_Tribute_to_My_Guru Fri, 21 Sep 2007 22:18:04 -0000 http://purplecraver.multiply.com/photos/album/4/ASEAN_University_Network_Spore_2006 Fri, 21 Sep 2007 22:12:00 -0000 Getting through quarter-century crisis is apparently very easy...
