I am SEVENTEEN

This post is about my 17th birthday which was on March 5th 2012 :)

March 5th 2011 was the date of my 17th birthday, yet because I was living in Bali, that day also coincide with a Hindu feast that was Nyepi Day(Silent Day)

Nyepi day is a very special day in Bali. Nyepi is the Balinese New Year and the date is determined using the Lunar Caka calendar. The night of the first new moon between March and April will be the eve of Nyepi. Nobody is allowed in the streets and no electricity or electronics are allowed to use all day, even the airport is closed, only emergency transports are allowed in the streets. It is the believe that because the island is silent and dark, including the houses, that the bad spirits will leave the island and the new year starts in peace. To make sure that none of the bad spirits is hiding in any of the houses, the Balinese will walk through their houses the night before silent day and bang some pans to chase them out. Those are some information about what Nyepi Day is.

Although my 17th birthday was coincide with Nyepi Day, I was still really grateful for another year God has blessed me with. There was no greater happiness on that day rather than the happiness I got and for being able to share it with people I love the most.
 ♥THANKS JESUS. I prayed that I can be a mature lady in this age.
