The Tide of a Human

The day someone was born will be most of the time considered as a special moment and worth the celebration. It makes sense because it’s the mark of a person’s existence in this world and for many families the presence of children is a blessing. When the children grow up, most of them are accustomed to the idea that birthday is a special celebration because it’s the day they “arrived” to the world. Also, having another year added is believed as a new opportunity and new phase in life. Later on, how birthday is perceived would be varied into two major point of views, which are the basic idea of giving thanks for another year or a new phase in life and the "advance" idea of a specific moment to have fun celebrating their life. People love birthdays, they like to make it as the moment for doing something different remarkable.

Generally we type on the computer more at the office, right? Those times when we made colorful and aesthetique notes at school and college were almost forgotten, hahaha.. I...

Also aren't stickers convenient? You can use it to decorate your stuff and bring those artists' aesthetique with you anywhere anytime. Isn't it cool? Hahaha.. It makes you happy while at the same time appreciating the artists' works. I also think that compared to another form of artwork, stickers are a form of artwork that are closer to everyone because of its practicality and affordable price. Many people love stickers, nowadays we can find stickers on laptop cases, phone cases, tumblr bottles, journals, etc. Even personally because I like it so much, I sometimes end up not using them because I’m afraid it will tear or fade. I have to look carefully at the materials of the sticker paper. Without further ado and I start to “mumble” writing, hahaha.. I w...
