Reflection

I’m kinda tired of people questions about my life lately. People really should learn how to ask more appropriate question and stop bothering others business. Cynical questions like “Graduate already? Ah, just staying at home now?” or “Ah, so you haven’t got job? Just be patient, you will get it soon”. (OK, actually the second questions would be such a sweet and caring question IF it’s said by people who really care about us, here I’m talking about 180 degree different person, they just pretend as if they care while they actually don’t). C’mon dude, working in a big company isn’t the only way to earn money, and hey it’s rude.

I am cool as a cucumber and I love living my life like this at the moment, so why bother? Of course sometimes I worry about my future, but hey, who don’t? What we see ain’t what it really seems. You cannot say that others are just lying in bed and doing nothing for their life, just because they aren’t going to the office from Monday to Friday (or even Saturday, uh oh) like you do. It’s unacceptable to look others down and think they are suffering in life, just because they don’t wear office attire and hang out at pricey café like you do. Some of them may even earn more money than you do, but oops, that’s not my point. What I’m trying to say is that we have to stop measuring people’s success by money, because money is not the only measure of success in life. There are things that matters more than money. For instance, happiness and satisfaction. So, instead of asking “where do you work now? Does it pay you well?” and blah blah blah, you can try to ask more reasonable questions such as “Are you happy?” “Do you love your job?” “Do you enjoy what you are doing?”

And oh, do you know? We actually don’t need to measure anyone’s success before we measure ours, so try to reflect and ask those questions to yourself first before wondering about somebody’s life. AM I happy? DO I enjoy my job? DO I enjoy what I am doing?

We never even lick others' Popsicle of journey, so we barely know how it taste. Since everyone has their own Popsicle, you better enjoy yours and stop bothering. Ciao.

Entschuldigung

Di kantor, beberapa jam sebelum jam pulang karyawan.

Pak Ahmad—salah satu staff di divisi tempat saya magang—bercerita soal keikhlasan dan kaitannya dengan kesehatan manusia. Setau saya, beliau memang dikenal bisa dan biasa mengobati orang dengan cara memijat dan membimbing “pasiennya” untuk mengingat Tuhan, berdoa menyebut nama Allah dan berusaha ikhlas dan pasrah akan segala sesuatu yang dihadapi. Usut punya usut, banyak teman-teman karyawan yang mengakui bahwa metode tersebut terbukti manjur dan dapat mengurangi bahkan menghilangkan rasa sakit yang mereka dirasakan.

Menurut beliau, kunci untuk sehat itu mudah, mengingat Tuhan, memohon ampun, berpikir positif, berprasangka baik, dan memperbaiki tali silaturahmi dengan sesama manusia, terutama orang-orang terdekat kita. Beliau bercerita, pernah suatu ketika beliau bertemu dengan seorang ibu yang mengeluhkan penyakitnya yang tak kunjung sembuh walaupun telah berobat berkali-kali. Saat itu, beliau hanya memberi satu anjuran kepada ibu tersebut, “Coba ibu meminta maaf kepada suami”. Si ibu membela diri dan berkata bahwa dirinya sudah sering meminta maaf kepada suaminya. Lalu beliau menjawab, “coba kali ini, meminta maaflah dengan hati”.

Apa tuh meminta maaf dengan hati? *batin saya dalam hati*

TTD 2013

Picture taken from Google

Instead of resolution or else, I would like to call all the activities that I should accomplish in this year as "things to do". I'm writing it all here, so that I can review it later when 2013 is going to end, therefore I will be able to see how many things I actually do in 2013, and hopefully this will keep me on track. I think it would be fun, so why not trying? :)

1. Graduate from Universitas Bakrie
As I am now at my senior year at uni, so there is no other options but finishing my final paper and graduating soon. Hopefully, I will have been graduated before July 2013. Can I get an amen?

2. Add some more working experience before graduating
Working experiences are indeed important to support our career path and gain some practical knowledge, right?

3. Do vacation together with my friends
I think this is the last year before being a full-time adult. I mean, I and my friends are graduating soon and retiring as an undergraduate students. So, before we cannot see each other face as often as these days, why not going on vacation and have fun together.

4. Objectify dream project in term of business
I'm a business student and I'm graduating soon, I like doing business and I want to have my own business. 2013 may be a perfect time to start doing a real business. Hopefully I will be able to make it true on this year, together with my partner-in-crime.

5. Have a permanent job after graduating
Being unemployed may be a biggest fear for every fresh-graduate, including myself. But every fresh-graduate has his/her own definition of permanent job. For me, permanent job have a broad meaning, it could be working on some companies as an employees, and it could also mean making your own company and start being an entrepreneur.

6. Be able to drive!
I'm 19 going on 20, yet I can't even drive a car and I think I need that skill. So, I want to learn to drive and may be have a driving license by the end of this year.

****

That's all my major things to do, besides, I still have another things to do such as doing more sport, pray more, and having breakfast more often (yes, I'm that lazy to even have my breakfast). I hope the eagerness will stay with me all along this year, so I will be able to accomplish all the good things as much as I can on this year. Aamiin. Anyway, have a good day!

No Calls

Source: Google

It was a so-so evening when my phone rang, a call from unknown number. I was in my room, browsing random stuffs on my notebook. I picked it up. I heard a lady voice ensuring that she called a right number. Then, I had a quite quick chit-chat with her before she hung up. Actually, I could say that it  was a happy call (not that famous happy call pan, of course). She told me that there’s a manager in her company want to do a phone interview with me.

So, yes, I was very-wery-berry happy at that time. She told me the date and the exact time when the manager would call. I memorized it and waited for that day to come. Excitement.

Not Enough

Allah selalu punya cara yang indah untuk mengingatkan hambanya. Walaupun hambanya seringkali terserang virus amnesia dan lupa seketika meski telah diingatkan berkali-kali. Tapi tetap Allah ga pernah lelah dan terus memberikan tanda kasihnya dalam hal kecil yang simpel dan seringkali ga disadari.

Hari Ini

Hari ini saya membaca banyak sekali komentar dan opini yang sangat beragam seputar berita Gaza, Palestina. Sebagian besar mengecam keras perlakuan Israel terhadap Palestina, sebagian mendukung Israel, sebagian lagi mempunyai salah satu dari dua opini tersebut namun merasa tidak perlu membicarakan dan memulai perdebatan lewat media sosial karena menurut mereka itu tidak relevan dan sia-sia.

Sebagian ada yang menulis opininya di website atau akun sosialnya masing-masing (mungkin seperti yang sedang saya lakukan sekarang) dengan versi dan pemahamannya masing-masing. Tentu saja, setelah tulisan tersebut di publish, pada akhirnya memunculkan opini-opini baru dari para pembacanya, sebagian setuju dengan apa yang ditulis, sebagian sangat bertentangan dan melontarkan komentar-komentar pedas.

Tujuan saya menulis tulisan ini bukan karena saya juga ingin ikut melontarkan komentar saya tentang Palestina dan Israel. I just want to write on my own blog, for my own reminder, that people in this world really see problems from various perspectives, and I often get confused after reading so many different opinions sampai-sampai saya jadi blur di sisi mana sebenarnya saya berdiri dan pendapat apa yang saya punya untuk masalah-masalah yang saya baca tersebut.

Try to Deal

Experience is a hard teacher because it gives the test first and the lesson afterward — Vernon Law

Hi all, here I come back blogging about another random thought that have just pooped on my head. This time is about dealing.

So, just for your unimportant-common-knowledge, I lost my phone 3 weeks ago when I was hanging out with some great friends, we were so happy, laughed out loud, and I feel that it was one of amazing days of mine, until it turned out become a ‘blank moment’ when I realized that my phone was not there in my bag. I tried my best to make it come to me back, but maybe God have the different plan, so yea, now I am officially lose it.

But what I want to tell is not about my sadness of losing that phone or how mad I am with the one who took it out from me, what I want to tell is that what happened to me makes me realize thing that maybe I have ever realized before but forget it right away, that is dealing. Life is about dealing, dealing with the situations, dealing with others, dealing with your friends, dealing with imperfections, anything. Dealing for the fact that we’ll never know what future’s gonna give us. Maybe sometimes we feel uneasy, or think that life is unfair, but as long as you believe that God is the best scenario maker, you’ll believe that life is gonna be always fair, it is, by its own way. If your life was a film, then God is able to give you  twists, not only at ending, but at any part of your life that you will never expect. And every twist will leave you with a new life lesson.

As many people say, when life gives you lemons, just try to make a lemon tea, that way you will still able to enjoy your life. If you don’t like lemon tea, maybe you could try to  sell it and start to become a lemonade tycoon. There are may ways to enjoy life even at the what-you-think-the-worst-time-of-your-life, rite? So, I want to believe that when something (that I think) bad happen, something good is waiting for me afterward.

my lovely "research team" friends

29 February

Hi guys, just wanna say, happy 29th-day-of-February :)

Nothing special on this day actually, it just makes me remember about something. Maybe we are one of them who have ever grumbled that 24 hours per day is not enough, maybe we are one of them who have ever said we need more time to finish our works, maybe we are one of them who often say "so little time, so many things to do".

SO, maybe, today is the 1-day-bonus given by God to answer all of our complains.

Then, maybe it's us who have to re-think; is it really a matter of time? Or maybe it is us who always procrastinate and make 24 hours seems never enough? You know your own answer :)

InsyaAllah or InshaAllah

A (little bit) serious post this time, ehehe. Yesterday when I had chat with my friend, he said InsyaAllah when I said InshaAllah, and now I am getting curious about it. So today, when I was blog-walking and browsing here and there, I remembered about this 'InsyaAllah or InshaAllah' thing, then I started googling to find the answer (yes, google is my best friend forever, indeed).

So, in arabic this how we write it: إن شاء الله‎ (means: God Willing). Then, come to the question, which one is correct? InshaAllah or InsyaAllah? 

You know, arabic is the language of Islam, but then not all muslims speak it. So that's why there are some differences when transliterating arabic letter into alphabets. The ﺵ letter in Arabic is written as 'sheen' (shin) in English while we muslims in Indonesia, Pakistan, India and Malaysia, usually write it in a different style. We write ﺵ as 'syin', so this is where the difference comes from.

So basically, both are same, there is no difference when we pronounce it. It's only a writing difference in every country, it still refers to the same meaning, and I think it does not really matter as long as we pronounce it right.

Wallahu a’lam bish-shawabi. Cheerio! :) 

End-Of-October Post

Ga kerasa yah bulan Oktober udah mau abis aja. Habis itu bulan November, terus bulan Desember, teruuus... jeng jeng! udah tahun baru 2012 deh. Time flies so fast, no?

Sekarang, dengan ga kerasa juga, saya udah jadi mahasiswi tingkat tiga, kalo istilah inggrisnya, udah junior year, udah tinggal dua tahun lagi (paling lama) duduk di bangku kuliah. Terus habis itu saya ngapain ya?

Bahkan saya masih blank mau ngapain di masa yang hanya tinggal beberapa ratus hari lagi itu. x_x

Yang sekarang ada di otak saya, di masa depan saya harus bisa merealisasikan mimpi untuk kuliah di luar negeri, lebih tepatnya kuliah di Eropa, lebih tepatnya lagi kuliah di Jerman. Maunya saya, saya bisa bikin skripsi dengan mulus, terus lulus S1 tanpa hambatan sebelum umur saya 20 tahun, bikin mama sama bapake nangis-nangis (nangis bahagia maksudnya), terus bisa dapet beasiswa dan lanjut kuliah lagi di Jerman, paling lama 3 tahun setelah saya bergelar S.E. Dalam waktu 3 tahun itu? Entahlah. Maunya saya (lagi), ya kerja dulu -tapi ga tau dimana, belum dipikirin- supaya bisa punya pengalaman dan menuh-menuhin rekening tabungan.

But yes I realize that life is not a fairy tale, life is not about "what-I-want", it's about "what-I-have-done". Saya sih sebetulnya udah agak sadar dikit kalo hidup itu harus punya perencanaan dan strategi yang jelas, dan lebih dari itu, pelaksanaan yang baik dan konsisten. Tapi sepertinya saya emang baru sebatas "agak sadar" aja, tapi belum sepenuhnya sadar untuk bikin arah yang jelas untuk muara hidup saya sendiri.

Tau pertanyaan yang bikin saya tertohok yang saya baca belum lama ini waktu mau isi salah satu application form?

Kemauan yang Melahirkan Kesempatan

Selesai mengikuti Indonesia International Week 2011 yang diadakan oleh ISAFIS kemarin, saya dapat banyak pengetahuan dan pengalaman baru, dan pastinya juga teman-teman baru. Baik yang produk lokal, maupun produk impor asal Eropa dan bahkan ada yang made in China.

Tapi yang mau saya share sekarang adalah, produk-produk lokal teman-teman baru asal Indonesia yang punya semangat tinggi untuk menjalin koneksi dan ikut terlibat dalam pergaulan internasional, dan dengan kemampuan komunikasi menggunakan bahasa Internasional yang juga sudah tidak diragukan lagi. sehingga mereka memang memiliki apa yang disebut dengan capability.

Siapa mereka? Mereka adalah teman-teman ISAFIS yang saya kenal saat ikut acara IIW kemarin.

Bertemu mereka, seperti menemukan sebuah komunitas baru, dimana "ritual-pergi-ke-luar-negeri" adalah hal yang biasa (tentu tujuan utama perginya tentu bukan dalam rangka liburan atau jalan-jalan ya). Sebagian besar dari mereka, rata-rata sudah pernah menginjakkan kakinya di negeri orang, entah untuk ikut simulasi sidang PBB atau yang biasa disebut Model United Nation, atau mengikuti International Week, dan mungkin kegiatan-kegiatan lainnya yang saya tidak tahu.

Kagum? Pasti. Berkenalan dengan mereka, seperti mendapat energi positif dan motivasi yang intinya "Mereka aja bisa, kenapa kamu engga?"

Obrolan saya dengan salah seorang teman, sedikit menyadarkan saya akan satu aspek lagi yang kemarin sempat 'ketinggalan' dari pikiran saya, seputar "pergi-ke-luar-negeri".

Saya: "Hebat ya mereka, udah kemana-mana."
Si teman: "Bukan hebat, yang benar itu mereka kaya-kaya. Lo juga bisa pergi kok, asal ada duitnya."

Kpop Fever

Habis browsing sana-sini, daaaaan.... menemukan fakta menarik!

Ternyata ga cuma Indonesia aja yang sekarang punya boyband dan girlband ala-ala korea kayak SM☆SH dan 7 Icons, karna Malaysia sang negara tetangga juga punya lho. Check this one out.

 

Nah, ini dia girlband asal Malaysia-nya. Nama grupnya GulaGula, personilnya terdiri dari 6 orang cewek-cewek manis (katanya lho ya). I think we've already know the hope behind giving "gulagula" as their group's name, rite? "We are sweet just like sugar".

Nah kalo yang ini boyband-nya! Personil grupnya ada sembilan, dan nama grupnya 24:7, daaaan.... belum menemukan penjelasan lebih lanjut tentang arti dari nama grupnya. Nih, ada lagi foto-fotonya mereka.

Put your clothes on, guys, ati-ati masuk angin.

*speechless*

ini kocaaaak!

Dan tadi ketemu komentar kocak seputar grup ini, mari disimak.

"No wonder orang jadi langsung nuduh nih band Maho! Nih grup namanya 24:7... Iya, kita juga heran kok namanya gitu! emang dese2 itu endorsenya McDonald sampe bisa diorder 24 jam 7hari seminggu kali yee!!! Katanya mereka digadang-gadangkan jadi saingan SM*SH!!!

Aduh gila bener nih boyband Malaysia!!! Super PD abis dengan pudel dan perutnya yang kagak sixpack mana PD Gila dengan sempak kolor merek crocodilenya! Mana pose sama make upnya aneh bin ajaib! noh foto terakhir kek mau nari piring segala! Ahhh Masih bagusan SM*SH deh kemana-mana!

Jangan sampe nih boyband datang dimari ya, nanti kita timpuk rame2!!!!"

Well, itu cuma salah satu opini ya guys, saya sama sekali ga bermaksud memprovokasi atau kawan-kawannya, cuma sharing karna emang kocak abis begitu baca ini tadi.

Jadi, intinya bukan tentang gimana penampakkannya girlband dan boyband Malaysia ini, tapi wabah Korea yang sudah merebak kemana-mana. Terlepas dari suka atau ngga suka sama hasilnya, saya salut sama orang-orang Korea yang udah bikin industri entertainment mereka sedemikian rupa, sama drama-dramanya, sama Kpopnya, dan semua-semuanya, yang pada akhirnya bisa kasih great influence sama masyarakat di belahan dunia yang lain. Sampe-sampe, negara-negara Asia lainnya, kayak Indonesia dan Malaysia ini, juga mencoba bikin sesuatu yang mirip sama yang ada di Korea sono, yaitu vocal grup yang biasa disebut boyband atau girlband.

Apapun komentar dari aksi pembuatan vocal grup ala Korea di negara-negara lainnya, intinya saya kagum sama Korea dan para pelaku industri entertainment-nya, karena hal ini nunjukkin kalo Korea punya ciri khas yang unik dan digemari sama banyak orang, plus laku dijual di pasar, bahkan pasar internasional. Kalo ngga bagus, pasti ngga ada yang meniru kan? Yang meniru kan pasti juga awalnya timbul niat karena ngeliat kesuksesan dari apa yang dia tiru, dan meniru dengan maksud ingin mendapatkan kesuksesan seperti yang ditiru.

Lagi, intinya disini bukan tentang masalah salah atau bener pihak-pihak yang meniru itu, atau bagus enggaknya hasil dari 'tiruan' mereka. Disini saya cuma mau bilang "Salut buat Korea for the influence!"

Everything Happens For a Reason

Image source: Google

Sering kali saya mengeluh, sedih, dan kecewa waktu keadaan berjalan ngga sesuai sama keinginan. Waktu kelas batal, padahal udah engap lari-lari dari kosan sampe keringetan dan ngos-ngosan; waktu koneksi internet lambat, padahal deadline kirim email tugas tinggal hitungan jari tangan kanan doang; atau waktu laptop nge-hang saat tugas makalah belom di save. Pokoknya, betenya sampe ke ubun-ubun.

Tapi sebetulnya, setelah dilirik-lirik lagi, bisa keliatan kalo selalu ada satu hikmah dari segala sesuatu yang terjadi.  Hanya jika kita mau coba lihat dari perspektif yang berbeda dan berusaha untuk tetap berpikir positif. Saya punya teman yang bisa berpandangan positif dalam menyikapi setiap keadaan yang dia alami, mau lagi susah, mau lagi senang, dia tetap bisa lihat sisi positifnya. Kalo lagi susah, dia tetap bisa optimis dan tidak putus asa karena dia positive thinking; waktu lagi senang, dia juga tetap ada di zona 'sadar' dan ngga lantas terlena sama yang lagi dia dapat. Positive thinking membuat kita bisa jadi pribadi yang bersyukur, namun tetap antisipatif.

Selain itu, kalo dilirik-lirik juga, sebenarnya selalu ada alasan kenapa sesuatu terjadi, jadi sebetulnya ngga ada yang perlu disayangkan atau dikecewakan. Mau itu menyenangkan maupun bikin kesel, I do believe that everything happens for a reason. Kembali lagi, tergantung gimana kita menyikapinya.

Learn The Sign, Please

Actually I don't want to be fussy about this, but things are getting really annoying lately. It is not a big deal, actually. It's just me who feel irritated by 'those kind of tweeps'. Yeah, we are talking about twitter land right now.

So, have you ever meet 'those kind of tweeps'?

Okay, let me explain you first what I mean by 'those kind of tweeps'.

They are them who always too-much-concern about their followers, curious about the reason why someone's unfollowing them, and say 'thank you' for someone who has just unfollowed them. (I don't really get the last point, seriously).

How to Cope with?

Have you ever feel that sometimes things go out of our expectation?
Ya, kita memang ngga bisa selalu mendapati bahwa kenyataan akan terus sesuai sama yang kita harapkan dan apa yang sudah kita rencanakan. Tapi untuk bisa selalu deal sama setiap keadaan yang kita alami, itu juga bukan perkara gampang, menurut saya.
Sometimes, muncul rasa kesal, atau sedih, atau marah, atau apapun. Rasa yang nunjukin kalo kita masih belum bisa deal and cope with the situation.

I feel it so many times.
Bahkan beberapa jam yang lalu pun saya masih mengalaminya. When things go wrong -wrong because it's not same with what we expect-, and we feel hard to accept it.
Rasa kaget, ga terima, kesal, marah, sedih, semuanya campur baur jadi satu.
But, what do I really get in the end? Marah-marah dan ga terima toh tetep ga bisa merubah keadaan jadi lebih baik. Yang ada justru kita feel more, more, and more bad and also dissapointed.

Pada akhirnya, kita ga bisa merubah apapun yang emang udah terjadi. Apalagi dengan marah-marah dan kepala yang ngga dingin. Mau kita ngga terima, atau kita ga suka, pada akhirnya toh tetap harus kita hadapi juga. Why? Because we cannot control the environment. Mungkin untuk beberapa kejadian-kejadian ga diinginkan, kita masih bisa bikin antisipasinya, contoh sederhananya, belajar yang rajin supaya ga terima kabar kalo kita failed di salah satu subject mata kuliah. Atau sarapan sebelum beraktivitas supaya ngga kelaparan pas lagi ngerjain sesuatu. Tapi, ada kejadian-kejadian yang out of our control, kayak misalnya musibah kecelakaan atau traffic jam, atau kabar dan kejadian buruk yang kita ga sangka-sangka.

So, how to solve this? How to cope with?
Memang, as I have written before, we cannot control the environment. Buuut... We're still able to control our reaction to it. Kita masih bisa pilih, reaksi apa yang bakal kita keluarin saat kita menghadapi suatu kejadian. Mau dengan marah-marah kah? Atau mau dengan kepala dingin kah?
Up to you.

Yang perlu kita pahami supaya kita bisa kontrol reaksi kita adalah sebab dan akibat dari tiap-tiap reaksi itu sendiri. Kira-kira kalo kita sedih dan ga terima, ada manfaatnya ga ya? Kira-kira kalo saya lapang dada dan cari alternatif penyelesaian masalahnya, bisa berguna ga ya? Yang mana ya yang lebih baik buat saya pilih?
Bla bla bla bla bla, dan semua itu tergantung sama kita. Think before we act, and listen before we speak. Itu sih yang menurut saya bisa berguna supaya bisa deal sama apapun masalah, keadaan, dan lingkungan yang kita hadapi. Intinya pertimbangan dan pemikiran yang panjang. Jangan mau kalah sama nafsu buat marah-marah atau rasa putus asa yang bisa bikin sedih.
Hidup kita, kita sendiri yang mengalami, kita sendiri yang tau gimana caranya menciptakan hidup yang terbaik.
Go find happiness, blopples. Because we deserve it. And just let go of something that is not good for you, because you deserve better.

With love,
Annisa Sudibyo

Friday Bloody Friday

Hai bloppers sekalian, Happy Friday all!

Ciyee udah hari Jumat aja ya blop, artinya apa coba? weekend start!

Weekend = harga tiket bioskop udah lebih mahal = jalanan tambah macet = tempat-tempat hiburan plus resto-resto tambah padet = yagitudeh. (apasih?)

Um, okay, kali ini ga ada hal spesifik yang mau saya post, jadi izinkan saya untuk ngetik ngalor-ngidul dan membuat posting kali ini jadi agak kriuk-kriuk-crispy alias garing, okeyy? hahaha.

. . .

Happy saturday all. How's your day?

Mine? Not too good, so far. You know, just flat and filled by doing nothing.

You know what's my most visited place today? The answer is, bath room. I don't go anywhere else but bath room. All I do is just stay aaaaaaaaall daaay in my bed room. Almost doing nothing.

Yes I know this is bad, bad habit. You shouldn't follow, for sure.

I plan to start studying (again) this night, so somehow I just wanna spend all my free-time and just take a hibernation from that heavy books and formulas.

I still in my final exam, btw. This is my 3rd semester, so this is my 3rd final exam since I entered university. Four subjects more for next week to go finishing this exam.

And I have allready had so many to-do-lists after my exam done.

First, I'm gonna make a film project with my friends, to participate in my campus' event.

Then, I'm gonna make a paper about Corporate Governance with my Integrity Team (Nessy Diana and Hesti Aulia), to participate in ICMSS (Indonesian Capital Market Student Studies) which is held by Management Departement Faculty of Economy University of Indonesia.

Then, I'm gonna make some (what it called?) umm.. such a handycraft to be competed in my campus' event too. Maybe I will post my do-it-myself handycraft in the next post, if I have a time.

Next lists are such happy-to-do-lists, haha. Yeah, I've promised my friend to accompany her go shopping in Pasar Senen (Senen Market), searching for a new lenses for her -or maybe our- glasses. Then, I also wanna go to Pasar Asemka (Asemka Market) searching for my handycraft’s materials.

And last, I and my aunty are going to hunt some good materials for our kebaya (kebaya is a common traditional dress for us, Indonesian). My uncle are going to get married this April, so we have to make a kebaya to be worn on that event. Maybe I will post the photo next time :)

So, enjoy your day people, and so do I, I'm trying to.

p.s: please pray for my exam, hope the marks will go well :)

Warm Regards ﭢ

Mother, I Want It

Mother, I just wanna say that I want that thing to be my birthday present. You know what thing it is, I have ever mentioned it to you before. But, yeah I know that your husband -or simply say my father- will not give a permission and let me get that thing.
Okay, at least, I have state what I want here, mommy. I know that there are always a way when we want it most and ask it kindly to God.

Hello World, What's Up?

Hello all, and welcome November :)
I always love this month, because November is my birth-month, ha ha ha

But, you know people, somehow I got a feeling that this day will rock, and YEAH, I was right! Blessed month and blessed day for today!
I have been getting so many happiness today, especially in my business :)
One word: UNEXPECTED!

H mm, tell you later about the business, because I am too happy to explain it to you now :p

I hope everything will gonna be okay and keep great. People I trust will still trust able and don't make any troubles.

with so many bunches of happiness
a.p.s

My Random Thought

Have you read that sentences above? I got it when I opened my old magazines several weeks ago, little part of some psychology’s article on that magz. It’s kind of “survival tips” to mend your broken heart, from them who had been there for so many times.

And I think, I read that article in –almost- exact time. I read it when I have just broken up with my boy –or now becomes my friend.

See the first sentence? I like it most! Agree with those words, that we ought to let go something that is not good for us. Nice statement for almost all problems. But don’t misinterpret my meaning, yang saya maksud sesuatu yang ngga baik itu adalah sikap-sikap negatif yang suka muncul saat kita dihadapkan sama suatu masalah atau persoalan dalam hidup kita. Whatever the problem is. The easiest example, time when-and-after you broke up, as I have mentioned before. You would be lying if you say there are worse pains than that one thing, because it’s painful, rite? or am I exaggerated? I guess no, haha.

Okay back to topic, sikap-sikap negatif yang muncul itulah yang nggak baik buat kita, misalnya (in broken heart case): rasa ingin balas dendam, murung sendirian, suka bengong, nggak peduli sama keadaan diri sendiri, mengurung diri di kamar and still sooo many examples I can’t mention one by one. Sikap-sikap negatif dalam menghadapi masalah-masalah, itu tuh yang nggak boleh dipelihara lama-lama dan harus dibiarin pergi, because they are not good for us at all. So just let them go away from our life! Because we have to learn from past, live in the present, and think about the future. Living in the present moments not only makes us happy, but it also helps in creating wonderful memories that will make us happy in the future.

Apapun masalahnya dan apapun sikap negatif kita, I think we should not let the negative stay and take our time. We have to make it positive! Because, whatever your problems are, life must go on, dunia nggak bakalan berhenti sejenak menunggu sampai kita bisa melangkah lagi. And don’t forget, my lovely readers, seberat apapun masalah kita, kita nggak pernah sendirian. Karena semua orang punya sahabat dan keluarga yang akan ngingetin kita untuk keep our chin up and go on living! J

And how about the second and third sentence? I just like the analogy somehow, hahaha. Besides, maybe it will work buat kalian yang memang baru aja putus cinta, yah lumayan kan buat membangkitkan semangat dan mencetak lengkungan kecil di bibir kita sehabis ngebaca kalimatnya :p

With love and spirit

A.P.S
