My name is Amanda used to be called candy. They are call me candy because I love eating sweets. I grew up in the family is very rich and luxurious. My mother and my father named Ria named Gratitude but of a different nature to the name dad never complained always grateful when father and mother are very self-sufficient even more. Father and mother are never really away from the religion of prayer, chanting and even fasting. Therefore, my brother and I were away from religion as my parents. One day I dream that in my town is very powerful earthquake accompanied by lava mountains around my city devastated.
