humbled and blessed

Hello Everyone!

I am back. And I am sorry for being gone so long. My management, under my strong protest, cuts down my activities to bare minimum which include my commiting to stop reading and writing this blog (since I do have tendency to stay in front of the computer for a long time:). I know they meant well, so I agreed.

Hence, I practically have not read this blog for over three weeks and I am trully humbled and touched by all your comments wishing me well. I also thank you for the hundreds of emails I've received as well!

I learned two things during my "resting period". First, even though I don't feel sick, I should listen to my body better. Warning signs were all over the place before my "crash and burn". Second, I learned that when I am sick, I didn't just ruin my own personal life, but also people around me who worked so hard for my sucess. Yes, that include all of you who were dissapointed that we postponed my exhibition in Bali. For that I am sorry and I promise I will do better. (Doc.. are you reading this? I am going to listen to you from now on :)

Going back to all of you who are kind enough to wish me well via comments and emails, I am still in awe of the kind of positive energy you guys are sending me. I believe in that. When I started this blog, I couldn't have imagined that we would turned out to become a small and caring community like this. I may not know many of you personally, but I think this episode have convinced me that all of you are my family on the net :) For that, again, I am humbled, touched and feel blessed.

So now, please wait here, come back often, because I have to make it up to each and everyone of you. I am back, alive and kicking. I am excited to enter a new phase in my career. A new phase with you next to me. Even those who call me names and hoped that God would curse me. Even them.

I am here to stay for as long as you are still reading this blog and -soon- watch TV in Indonesia ;)

Tiara

PS: Being away from this blog makes me feel a bit creative. How do you guys like the new look of the blog?
