It has been a long dream to have our very own website set-up and to have our own domain name as well. And today it’s finally up and running. This is our first time to have a joint blog. Arida and I both have our own blogs, we still haven’t decided yet whether we want to keep blogging on those, or focus on this one; which judging from the time we have, I think we may very well be focusing just on this one. Why “the-prasetyos”? Well because that is our family name. We have somehow decided to start using family name for our children also (in the future). Later on, he/she will be able to join their parents in nourishing this blog.
This blog will be a casual one. No formalities, no “too-serious” topics and for sure no touch of hatred will be on this blog. We will try to post in English, but there are times when we do miss our native language, so we may post in Indonesian. That being said, we would happily welcome any comments from you (be it in English, Indonesian, Spanish, or any other languages).
We hope that this blog could not only bring the two of us closer together, but also bring more friends to us. Hopefully by opening up, our friends would get to know us better and new friendships could be made.
Cheers,
Arida & Arief
