2021 Reflection (Present Perfect)
2021 was crazy. I have completed one semester in high school. I have met many people along the way, some of them were nice and some of them were mean.
I also have been through many happy moments and sad moments too. But I think it was wonderful, those moments are the ones who has built me today.
And I am more than grateful. Goodbye 2021, I have promised myself I will do better in 2022.
Dear Diary
Today I woke up at 4.15. Then, I took a bath about 15 minutes.
after I take a shower, I ate my breakfast. My mom cooked some fried chicken and sausage. I'm in a hurry because my family had plans for a picnic yesterday. but since my father was worked yesterday, then we're do it now.
When I was in the car this morning, I was a little bored because the road I stuck on a traffic jammed and it took us a lot longer to get there. But i'm happy because there's a lot of pretty place to took some picture. I took my pictures and videos about me, my family, and the view.
Around at 1.00 pm. me and my family were hungry and my dad search some random restaurant near the place. finally we found an Indonesian restaurant. We ate about one and half hours. at 4.00 pm we went home and I took a bath and slept because I was so tired.
