Happy Birthday Mrs. Pristy

Two days ago, in Saturday, our beloved teacher Mrs. Pristy celebrated her 48 birthday. All of eleven social 1 went to her house to gave her a surprise.

Some of us gathered in school and then went to meet others who have waited across the street ( from her house )a. She went out at that time, and we waited about 1 hour. When she finally arrives home, we walked to her house and sang a birthday song for her, until she came out.


she looked so shocked but also so happy at the same time. She smiled and said she was so surprised.

We all came into her house and then Pepen leads the prayer to thanks God(a good one though). After that her husband came down, and she gave the first cake to him ( sweet moment!) and then to her son, awan. We sang a couple songs from "Sentuh Hatiku" ( mrs. Pristy sang it solo! ), Bunda, and then "Separuh Jiwaku Pergi", ( which reminded me of Gracia, hahaha)
there's a video of some friends of mine, sang a funny song. It was a Jamrud song called Pelangi Di Matamu" , but they sang it in English ( Rainbow In Your Eyes ).






This is the cake we bought for her. I went through all the traffic jams in Jakarta until 10 PM just to get her this cake. Hope she likes it.



last, just want to tell her that we all love her so much. Thanks a lot for all of her patiences, cares, loves that she has already given to us. We all will never forget it. LOVE YOU SO MUCH MRS. PRISTY. Hope God be with you in everything and always give you the best you can deserve.

Portrait of a Friend

I can't give solutions to all your life problems, doubts,
or fears. But I can listen to you, and together we will
search for the answers.

I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,
nor the future with its untold stories.
But I can be there now or later when you need me to care.

I can't keep your feet from stumbling.
I can only offer my hand that you may grasp and not fall.

Your joys, triumphs, successes, and happiness are not mine;
Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;
I can only support you, encourage you,
and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you from falling away from friendship,
from your values, from me.
I can only pray for you, talk to you and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,
But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,
room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,
But I can cry with you and help you pick up the pieces
and put them back in place.

I can't tell you who you are.
I can only love you and be your friend :)
