INDONESIA: Mission Trip 2011 Day IX

Oh my goodness, it's been over two years since this mission trip, and I'm only posting the last of the episodes now! I'm so sorry for my lack of discipline. But I am very happy to announce that I have finally finished undergraduate studies, which leaves me with an honours bachelor of arts degree in humanities! I'm definitely utterly blessed and very grateful to my parents who have been very supportive of my studies. Next, on to the other BIG things in life!!

I have mixed feelings about this episode. I'm glad the series is almost over (which means I can focus on something else), but at the same time, it's been a fun ride posting about the trip. Nonetheless, I hope all of you have been enjoying my mission blog posts. I encourage everyone to do something extraordinary at least once in life and share it to the world. It truly is a satisfying experience. For my loyal readers, thank you for sticking by me through the end. I always appreciate your feedback. God bless.

Jagalan, Surakarta
Today we had our 2 Sunday services – the morning one at 7AM and the afternoon one at 5PM. At around 4:30 this morning after our morning prayer and devotions, I went up to the rooftop to take pictures and record a video of the pig slaughter to take home as hardproof evidence. Unfortunately, I attempted to no avail since I could not get a clear shot. It was still extremely dark and the distance between the abattoir and where I was standing was quite far. Instead, I settled for the excruciating sound of the crying pigs and images of the slaughterhouse, as well as the pigs before and after they were slaughtered (see images from the last post here).

Daily Gratitude: Nov. 5, 2012

Today I'm thankful for:

1. A warm bed for me to sleep and dream in. FYI, I slept for more than 10 hours today, so a warm bed on a day like this is very crucial.
2. BlackBerry Messenger – to make communication easier for two people who are currently in different parts of the country at the moment.
3. Taco Bell. Just..


xo,


P.S. Tomorrow onwards I'll be blogging about this on my Twitter (@hazeltheresia).

Daily Gratitude: Nov. 4, 2012

I'm starting a new series called "Daily Gratitude" where I post on a daily basis, 3 random things I'm grateful for, to serve as a constant reminder that there is always something to be thankful for everyday. I challenge all of my blog readers and buddies to tweet or post your list of appreciation everyday!

Today Hazel is thankful for...

1. A brand new day, a brand new chance, and brand new forgiveness.
2. A hot, spicy bowl of Nong Shim ramyun to satisfy a ferocious belly on a chilly autumn day when there is no other food in the kitchen.
3. Photoshop CS4 – its dual-function capability as a medium for creativity and a friend on a lonely afternoon.


What are you thankful for today?


Scrapbook Sunday!

Something I did in my spare time... Looking forward to make more! :-)
