Hi my dearest reader,

Happy New Year to all of you!!

I want to look at 2016 and say thank you. Especially to you all, my readers, thank you, seriously. From the very depths of my heart I say thank you – for being here, for reading my stories, for greatly appreciate my works, and for enabling me to do what I love.

Overall, 2016 it’s a roller coaster ride for me. Let's make a short list of things that I accomplished and learned.

• I traveled quite a lot for my standards. I visited 2 beautiful Islands in Indonesia (Wakatobi & Karimun Jawa) and I also had the chance to got my first ever scuba dive experience (in Wakatobi National Park!!)
• I've finally met SNSD again, for the second time, (Phantasia Concert in Jakarta). And I got Yoona's signature!!
• I've completed my last story, The Commitment
• I got my first annual bonus from my company!
• I won another Tech Contest in one of America's website. And I received an action cam as a prize
• I learned to say no
• I also learned how important it is to have family and friends in life
• I've been hanging out alot with my parents (dinner, movies, short trip), and hangout with my gf ♡
• My confidence at work has significantly improved
• And I have adapted a new mindset that has definitely changed my life for the better

The Bad:

• No comeback/ new album from SNSD as a group. (But, Taeyeon and Tiffany's solo were awesome tho)
• Lack of YoonYul's moment (I missed them so much) 
• I've been in and out of hospital this year, not a pleasant experience. My father was also hospitalized once.
• There's an AFF Author that (was) one of my reader (Syahun97), plagiarize my story (Sweet Talking Baby), that's so disrespectful and there's no apologize from him/her until now. (I've reported it, and AFF took down the story)
• Being the youngest at work can be hard sometimes.
• I need new smartphone!

Overall, 2016 has been quite a busy - productive - hectic year for me (by my standards). And I still have a lot of things to go through and that life goes on.

2017 is going to be a great one, as a Sone I really hope for SNSD comeback with new album, and as Trooper, I wish 2017 will be YoonYul's year. Let's hope YoonYul will ship again this year!

Oh, I just bought SNSD 2017 Season's Greetings, for those who were wondering what's inside the box, you can check my unboxing video through youtube link below

Girls' Generation 2017 Season's Greetings

Oh yeah, 2017 will be my 3th year on AFF!! ♡

To celebrate it, I might, maybe, perhaps... want to try something new, not really new, but for me it is.

I might publish another YoonYul story, but I can't promise to publish it soon, it's still under development.
And I hope that you will wait for me :)

Have a blessed 2017 everyone, and always stay healthy!

Warm Regards,
