adapt (again)

well, long time no see,,
i think it's been two or more month i haven't write this blog.
mmm, you can say that i'm busy, but moreover, i am lazy to write,
two month ago i was in Palembang, but one month ago, i moved to pekanbaru,,
and, here i am, in pekanbaru, trying to write my blog again,
it's hard for me to write this blog,,
i still need time to adapt with new environment, so i don't have any hesitate to write my blog,

i know, that from my previous blog, i always been an optimist people, but, not now,,
i feel numb in here,, maybe because i didn't find the right friends,,

it's so awkward when the first time i arrived here in pekanbaru, well it's just the same feeling when the first time i-we- arrived in Palembang, but in Palembang i have friends that can keep up with me, we laugh a lot together, mourning together, sad together, we share everything together,, that's why i can endure the emptiness in Palembang,, but here in Pekanbaru i can't find people like my friend in Palembang,,
ohh, I miss them already,,

i hope i can meet them again, as soon as possible.

well back to the topic,,
i never imagine before, that working in banking sector require us to move around Indonesia a lot.
i never imagine that i can meet a lot of new people,
actually it's a good thing,
but, since i miss my friend (whom i was with them in Palembang), I still can't find the rhythm   in here, i just can get the feel in here,,
but i'm trying to enjoy my life here, cause, i have to spent my time here for the next 4 month,,
ohh, i don't know, it's hard, but i have to survive, i have to conquer my ego,,
i hope i can do it..

Missing Something

ohhh, it's so cold over here

i just can't stop thinking why do people in this office can endure the ac..
oh my gosh, i can't even barely move my hand,
why can't they turn off the ac??
isn't it wwasting more energy??
they said, thi company is gonna be a go green company,,
but what??
they're wasting energy by using ac in a low temperature, which means consumes more energy,,
hy don't we reduce our polution??
try to walk to the office, not using ac, etc,,
i just wanna say that using ac isn't good for your healthyness,,
why don't we just opened the window and let the wind blow???

COUNT DOWN

31 hours 10 minutes more,
I'm going to fly to medan
oh my god,
I'm so happy,
can't wait for tomorrow

deadline ooh deadline

tomorrow is the day
we have to present our paper
the good point, we can breath easily after this
the bad point, we can't even breath right now
hahahhahahaha
i don't know
i just haven't finished my paper, my slide, my form etc
it's even more difficult than doing my thesis
i don't know who will be chosen to present the paper for the first day, i hope it wasn't me
i'm not ready yet
i need more time..
i'm exhausting here
my eyes can compromise
need a lil help here..

finishing task

right now,
in the middle of the night,,
I'm still awaken,
not because, I got insomnia,
or i can't sleep,
it's because I have to awake
I have to finish my task,
my lovely PAK.
I'm so much sleepy right now, but I have to endure it.
I have to finish my task first,
It's so cruel,,
I have to sacrifice my sleeping time only to finish my PAK,
What can I do??
All I can do is finishing my task, which means that I have to stay awake,,
hahahhahhaha..
*zombie eye with evil laugh*

FLASH BACK


I've think about this yesterday, when I was on the bus, to went to church,,
it just came out in my mind,,
I think about my family, my life it used to be,,
I remember, when I was a little child, me and my sister, go to our primary school, walking, laughing, fighting, just like the other child,
never thought about our future yet, all we knew only playing, and other people must understand us, and we didn't care about the others.
and then tie passed by, we grow up, we entered junior high school, oya, my sister only on years older than me, we become stubborn, we're just like cat and dog, we always fighting, and also i have one younger brother, he is 4 years younger than me and we also fighting, yayyy, we always figthing,, can you imagine how my parents endure with our voice when we fight?? three of us have a louder voice, don't underestimate us, hehehhe..
if I remember those time, i feel sad, how can we make our parents disappointed and disturbed by our stupid behavior. we still childish, the three of us,, never think about others feelings, always think that we are right and the others wrongs, always think that we are superior than the other, and if we fight, we always force our parents to defend us,,, our parents must be very confusing that time and I'm sure that they got headache everyday because of us..
and again time goes by me and my sister entered high school and my brother entered junior high scholl.
and we become more, more and more stubborn, self centered, egocentrics, and a lot of fighting happened in our home.
we become rebel, we always disagree with our parents,, we always think that they are too old fashioned,,
time goes by, my brother entered high school, me and my sister entered the college, changes happened. there were a decrease in fighting, maybe because our activities, we don't have time to fight, but we still stubborn, i don't know where this habit came from,,
and then, the time is come, my brother was accepted in UGM in Jogja, so he has to go to Jogja and leave us,, and then I realize that I love him so much, I missed him, even tough when he was in our home, we always fight,, why do we always realize that we love someone when he/she isn't here with us??
10 months after my brother went to Jogja, my sister was accepted to work in West Papua, she leave us then, and the home is getting lonely. Only three of us in our home, me, my mother and my father, I don't have any friend anymore, even for fighting or only to chit chat.. It's so lonely.
and then after 2 months she leave us, i was accepted to work in Jakarta, and i went to Jakarta.
here i am, in jakarta.
and there are only my parents leave behind in our lovely home, i bet they felt so lonely.
All this memories make me sad, I've never think that we will separate, but i do love those past time, i never thought that we can make it this far, at least we don't need to burden our family,, we have job, a good one.. from a little stubborn child, never think about others, always make our parents sad, etc,,
oh my God I love my family so much, hopefully I can be a better person and make my parents happy.
just some advise for you, love your family, never disappointing them,, because you will feel loose them, when they're not around..
love your family!!!



MOVING AGAIN...

After two and half month in Jakarta, now, I've to moving again next month to Palembang,,
a new city, never been there.
I've to adapt again and I think it's a quite bit hard, cause, in this two month i don't even adapt with the condition in Jakarta, and now, my lovely company make me to adapt with new city.
arggghhhh...
it's hard for me...
my mind still reject, my body can't receive it..
in this big city, our capital city, i can't easily get used to with the atmosphere,, in which that a lot of people desire to come to this city, but not me,, i don't really like Jakarta,,
I'm stuck here,
I don't know, I just don't like Jakarta,,
And now, here it comes, Palembang,,
I don't have anyone there..
But I've got to go there,,
I have to face it,,
This is only a little burden
God will not let His child suffering, He knows what we need, even though we don't like it.
Now I must think that, I've got to go to Palembang, cause I've got to be there, there must be something there, that will make me a better man, will make me more appreciate my life and everything I had,,
So, what are you afraid of???
It's not forever, just a couple months in your life, so enjoy it..

Gambatte ne!!!

MY SAVIOR MY GOD

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at His right hand
Stands One who is my Savior
I take Him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
Of Him to be my Savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Chorus:(Twice)
My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be

Yes, living, dying; let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

Chorus:(6x)
My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be

My Savior lives, my Savior loves
My Savior lives, my Savior loves
My Savior lives....
By: Aaron Shust

Love this song so much..

GREAT EXPERIENCE

I wanna to share my experience with all of you about my friends.
i admire him so much. two days ago he share his life with me. he told me about his father who already dead. his story really touched me. He said that his father is his biggest motivator in his life. He told me that his father worked so hard only to feed his family. my friend has a lot siblings and only his father works in his family. His father even barely to sleep or take a break. His father even said that He can endure not to sleep only to earn money for his family. His father only sleep for 3-4 hours a day. And His father can fulfilled their needs. And one day, His father collapse when worked at store (they have store), their neighbors help his father, and bring him home. unfortunately, his father got stroke. they brought him to hospital in the evening and in the next morning, his father just passed away. when this condition happened, my friend wasn't there. He was in another province in order to work. When his father died, he was called by his cousin and telling him that his father just passed away. He knew this news by phone. Can you imagine his feelings that time??

Your father died, and you weren't there for him in his very last time in this world, and you knew this news by someone else.
He's not crying at the time he got the news, but in middle of the road when going back to his father's place he cried. Fortunately, he still have time to pray for his father. And he also buried his father.

And he said to me that in this life, you have to make your parents happy. meanwhile you still have time and chance to do so, just try your best to make them happy. Try not to make them sad or angry or disappointed by your behaviour.
This story really touching me because, i am a kind of stubborn child who always make my parents sad or angry. I always fights against them. I'm a rebel. And when my friend told me the magic word, that i have to make my parents happy, it really really stick in me. I want to be better child for my parents, and i'm in process in doing so. It took a lot of effort, because i have ego.
But hearing his story, makes me realize that I'm nothing, I'm just a little daddy girl, and I have to be a better person.
And I want you to be a better person with me, respect your parents, make them happy.

Doaku Terjawab Sudah

I've got this words, while i was in my uncle's home in Bekasi. I like the way of the author praise the Lord, and I'm trying to do just the same like the author did, and I hope you do the same way too.

 God's way is different from ours.But, God will always guide us and will never ever leave u

Facing A New World

In our life, there's must be something new everyday, it can be new friend, new partner, new situation, new stuff, etc. These new thing can be a good ones or bad ones, depends on how we look at it.
 We can't avoid it. We have to face it.
If we  met someone new, what will you  think about him/her??
Will you consider him/her as a good person or bad, only in one glance?? Or you need time to observe him/her??
Well, it's depend on you.

 What do you think when you are going to be replaced in the new area that you don't know anything about it, you know nothing about the person in those area, you don't know the situation, you know absolutely nothing, but you have to go there. First reaction is afraid of course. But will you let those freakin' feeling overwhelmed you?? If you do, then you are a loser. How can you be afraid to something that you don't know?? How can you be afraid to something that doesn't exist yet?? No matter how is the condition that you'll meet, just give your best to those environmental. Once you give your best, you will get the best of them back too. You should be brave, you have brain so you can think, you have mouth so you can ask, you have hands, so you can help people around you, so what are you afraid of???
I know, talking is easier than facing the real thing, but like i said before, you will face a new thing everyday in your life, and you know what, you've already done with this thing. Remember your first time going to kindergarten, and then primary school, high school, college, get a new job. There's a lot of new thung that you have faced. Did you afraid for the first time?? The answer is yes. But did you still afraid? The answer is NO.  You enjoy your "new thing" so why do you still afraid if you have to face something new??

My sister is a doctor, and she has to finish her practice in the very rural area. She is afraid in the beginning, because the people in her new area can't speak in bahasa. They are too primitive. Can you imagine how does her feeling?? She came from civilization and she has to deal with this primitive things. But, did it stop her?? NO!! She still went to those place. She can conquer her afraid. And now, she feels happy to be there.
What about you?? Do you still afraid to face a new condition?? Or will you enjoy it and be happy with it?? It's up to you.

LIFE IS A CHOICE..

Working

I just curious with the people who is workaholic. i don't know why, but i think it's a lil' bit crazy if people can addicted with 'work'.
I just compare it with myself, I've been work for 13 days,and i worked from 8 am till 7 pm. and you know what??  I'm tired, I don't even have time to sleep. I just can't think that some people consider that 24 hours a day isn't enough for him/her to  work.
Btw, i just figure it out that working is so tiring. I used to think that working is a pleasure thing, but i was wrong. working absorb a lot of your energy, it makes you stuck, boring, etc. All you have to do is enjoy your work.

if you want to be happy for a day, take a break
if you want to be happy for a week, take an holiday
if you want to be happy for a month, marry someone
if you want to be happy for a year, bequest a wealthiness
IF YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY FOREVER, LOVE YOUR JOB...

life

life is mysterious.
we never know what would happen in our life, next second, next minute, next hour or next day. its all a secret. a big secret. even though we plan our life carefully, accurately, we still out of the plan. we can say that we want to go to the movie tomorrow, but  unfortunately, tomorrow is raining, we can't go.

just like my experience. i never ever want to work in banking sectors, but what??? God gave me the job in banking sector. Arghhhhhhhhh...
God always has His own ways, and we cant predict it. All we have to do just praise Him. God will guide us. i want to quote this phrase, i love this phrase.
 

VALUE OF TIME

1 To realize the value of ONE YEAR...Ask a student who failed a grade.

2 To realize the value of ONE MONTH…Ask a mother who gave birth to a premature baby.

3 To realize the value of ONE WEEK…Ask the editor of a weekly newspaper.

4 To realize the value of ONE HOUR…Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.

5 To realize the value of ONE MINUTE…Ask a person who missed the train.

6 To realize the value of ONE SECOND…Ask a person who just avoided an accident

7 To realize the value of ONE MILLISECOND…Ask the person who won a silver medal in Olympics.

Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today is a gift
That’s why it’s called…the present!!!


no matter what happen in your life, believe that God will help you. just do your best and you can trough it all.

Finally...

waiting is one of the most disgusting things to do. hehehehe... no defense..
i don't like to waiting..

but waiting will shape us. it will give us time to think.
by waiting you will grown up. you will appreciate something. if you always got what you want immediately without any sacrifice, any effort, any tears you won't appreciate what you've got. you will take it for granted.

but if you want something, and you have to give your best effort to take it, you have to sacrifice your time, your money, even your mind and even so, you still need to wait for that thing for a long long time -- i know this is suck -- but im sure, when finally you reach what you want the feeling is awesome, it's like a miracle.  I'm telling because I've already felt it.

do you realize when you have to push down your ego, trying to be more patient , actually this condition shapes us to be more beautiful. we have to conquer everything that block us, we can't surrender now. it's a process that we have to live with so we can be  a more perfect human.

i know, it's not easy to accept this condition --to sacrifice your time, your money, your mind, push down your ego-- but we have to! if we want to be a winner we have to endure all of that.. believe me, like i've told you before, i already done with this thing. ya i know, when i was on this painful process, i always complaining. i, even blame others, but when i finally got what i want, it feels like i can touch heaven (hehehe,, exaggerate). but it's for true, it's more satisfying when i finally get what i want after i work hard to get it rather than when i got something easily.

and finally, yeah finally my longest waiting has a very sweet result.
thanks God, to allow me doing this process, at least i can reduce my ego. thanks for allow me to be a better person. thanks for everything that you gave to me.

BELIEVE


If I can see it, then I can do it
If I just believe it, there's nothing to it
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
I think about it every night and day
Spread my wings and fly away
I believe I can soar
I see me running through that open door
I believe I can fly
I believe I can fly
-R.Kelly-

Some of you might be familiar with this lyric. Yes, the lyric is taken from R. Kelly’s song I Believe I Can Fly. What do you think about the lyric?? Do you believe you can fly?? Or do you only another pessimist??

Well, apart from the lyrics, I love this song. This song can calm and comfort me. It is beautiful song indeed. I love the way R. Kelly sang this song and he has an amazing voice. And then I search on internet to find the lyric of this song and I found it. And then, I read the lyrics and I think the meaning of this song is far beyond the song itself.

This song convinces us to believe and to gain what we believe, and as long as we believe we can achieve it. This song tells us the power of believe, faith, motivation, hope or whatever you call it.

Believe. It’s just a simple word. But it takes a lot of effort to do it. Because how can you believing in something that you don’t even know that it’s for real, you don’t even sure that you can grab it in your hand, but you have to believe that you will.


Just like the lyric of the song above if I can see it, then I can do it. Here, the meaning of if I can see it is not seeing the real thing, but seeing in our mind, we can imagine and dream it. A lot of successful people in this world begin their journey from their dreams. A couple decades ago, we thought that human cannot fly ever, human do not have wings. Only birds fly. But in fact, nowadays human fly – using airplane of course – but, still we can be in the air. And this entire thing happened because the creators of airplane believe that one day he can fly and he brought his dream in to reality. That is just one of example. Of course, you have your own experience related to this believe.

Believing or hoping to something is a must. If we do not believe that we can do something like our work, then we can’t do it. Actually, we still believing, but we believe in failure. We believe in negative point and that is what will happen to our life. FAILURE.

When I was on college, I always want to get a perfect score, and I think all of us do want the same thing. The measurement of your score is GPA for each semester. When I was on my third semester, I really desire that I can get 3,72 GPA, the reason because I want to have the same GPA like my sister. Maybe it’s not a good reason, but whatever the reason is, as long as you don’t damage others, I think it won’t be a matter. Back to this believe kind of thing. I want to have 3,72 GPA, I believe that I can get it, I can see myself having this 3,72 GPA and I work for it. The final result, just like I want, I got 3,72 GPA.
What I want try to say is, we have to believe that we can, we have to believe that we will have it and we have to put our best effort to get it. Remember! We have to work it out! Because, just by believing without any real action to grab what we believe, it is impossible to get what we want.

  
Some of you will say: ahh the important thing is effort, what is the use of believing, we don’t need any target to achieve, all we have to do just do our best, we will get the best for sure. Well those statements weren’t wrong at all, but if you don’t have faith about something that you really desire, and then for what you work?? For something that doesn’t exist??
You need to believe in one thing, just like my case, I want 3,72 GPA, I believe it, I try to have it and I have it. Believing makes us more focus in pursuing our desire.


Hope is also one of the most important things, to live without hope is just the same like a living human corpse. Nothing to be hoped, nothing can make us believe that we will achieve our goal. So, what do we live for??

Believe that you will achieve something, no matter what it is; it can be money, stuff, job, achievement or anything, believe that you will have it, you will grab it in your hand, imagine that you are in that condition, working hard to get it and you will have it. Supposing that you didn’t get what you want, I believe that what you get now is not far away from what you’ve been desire before, because you’ve had give your best effort to get what you want, you’ve been focus to your desire, so it won’t miss that far.


Well at least it’s better to believe or have hoped, because by doing so you will have something to hang on to.

FORGIVENESS


I’ve had read this book a few years ago. The title of this book is Why Forgive by Johann Christoph Arnold.  The content of this book really touches me. Actually I want to share my opinion about this book a long time ago, but yeah, I don’t have time, well, not really have no time, but I am a lil’ bit lazy to write. So now, I think this is just the right time to write it down.
This book consists of stories about people who struggle to forgive another who has hurt them badly. I think what these people have done – forgiving – is really really a wonderful thing, because I myself find it difficult to forgive someone who hurt me. I rather choose to revenge than forgive. I think it’s normal. We are not an angel, we always response to people in the same way they have did to us, if they are good to us, we will be good to them, and vice versa, if they are did something bad to us, and then we will revenge them, and sometimes we revenge them more worst than they have done to us. In my opinion, that is humanity. Hehehehe,, that’s my opinion, you can have other opinion.
Well, after read this book, I rethink again about revenge someone. It’s hard to forgive. I don’t want to make excuses for myself by saying that I am a human who have feeling, and I don’t want to be hurt and I am not an angel. But, usually I use those excuses when I found it’s difficult to forgive someone. Arghhhh, I know, I know, I’m being inconsistent, but at least I am trying to forgive, although I failed more often.
Okay, now we’re back to this book. I will write done one story about forgiving.
Believe in Miracles
Gordon Wilson held his daughter’s hand as they lay trapped beneath a mountain of rubble. It was 1987, and he and Marie had been attending a peaceful memorial service in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, when a terrorist bomb went off. By the end of the day Marie and nine other civilians were dead, and sixty-three had been hospitalized for injuries.
Amazingly, Gordon refused to retaliate, saying that angry words could neither restore his daughter nor bring peace to Belfast. Only hours after the bombing, he told BBC reporters:
I have lost my daughter, and we shall miss her. But I bear no ill will. I bear no grudge… That will not bring her back...Don’t ask me, please, for a purpose…I don’t have an answer. But I know there has to be a plan. If I didn’t think of that, I would commit suicide. It’s part of a greater plan…and we shall meet again.
Later, Gordon said that his words were not intended as a theological response to his daughter’s murderer. He had simply blurted them out from the depth of his heart. In the days and weeks that followed the bombing, he struggled to live up to his words. It wasn’t easy, but they were something to hang on to, something to keep him afloat in the dark hours when grief overwhelmed him.
He knew that the terrorists who took his daughter’s life were anything but remorseful, and he maintained that they should be punished and imprisoned. Even so, he refused to seek revenge.
Those who have to account for this deed will have to face a judgement of God, which is way beyond my forgiveness…It would be wrong for me to give any impression that gunmen and bombers should be allowed to walk the streets freely. But…whether or not they are judged here on earth by a court of law…I do my very best in human terms to show forgiveness…The last word rests with God.
Gordon was misunderstood and ridiculed by many because of his stand, but he says that without having made a decision to forgive, he never could have accepted the fact that his daughter was never coming back. Nor could be have found the freedom to move on. Forgiving also had a positive effect that reached beyond his personal life. At least temporarily, his words broke the cycle of killing and revenge; the local Protestant paramilitary leadership felt so convicted by his courage that they did not retaliate.

Can you imagine that?? How could a father forgive the person who killed his daughter?? Maybe we will think that he is not even a father, how could he do that to his daughter? Why doesn’t he take revenge in the name of his daughter??  I feel Gordon is the stupid father. He has no courage to revenge. Arggghhhh.. It’s killing me to see the path that Gordon takes.
It’s hard for me to accept the way that Gordon choose which is to forgive his daughter’s murderer.  But, actually what Gordon has done is just such an amazing thing. Not everyone can forgive the way Gordon had done.  It takes a lot of courage to forgive, really a lot of courage that not everyone has it in their life.  And Gordon is not stupid; he is the wisest father actually, because he can think clearly in that condition.
 I know that forgiving will help us to move on. I know that but I just can’t apply it in my life, not now, I guess, but the more hatred I felt, the worst feeling I got. I can’t move on. It tortures me-the feeling of hatred- but I and most of people in the world choose to live up our hatred in ourselves.
Sometimes I think that, there are no useful to hate someone or to revenge someone. Maybe we will satisfy when we succeed to revenge them, and then what??? Did we get any advantage?? NO!!! Even in my experience, after revenge someone I feel regret. I feel like, oh my God, how can I do that to him/her??  And do you think if you feel sorry of what you have done to someone, it will end the hatred?? What if that the person you have revenge can’t accept what you have to them and want to revenge you back?? And he/she did. They revenge you back. What will you do then?? Revenge them back?? It will not stop. It’s just like a vicious circle. You did something bad to me and I will revenge you, and then you revenge me back, and so. Well if that’s happen in your live, I can tell you this: you will not move on, you will stick in where you were now, no peace in your life. Only hate. And that’s not good. It will torture you. You even get mad, sick and never feel happy in your life. Of course you don’t want that happen in your life. We want to be happy, everyone does. And I think one thing to be happy is to forgive. I know it’s hard, but it’s worth. Let us try our best to forgive. First try to forgive ourselves. I think if we can forgive, this world will be a better place to live.

How should you forgive and why?  I can’t tell you. It’s probably the hardest thing you’ll ever attempt to do. But I can tell you what I’ve seen and experience personally; once you are able to let go of wrongs that have been done to you, it changes everything. It will change your relationships, your attitudes, and your emotional make-up – your whole approach to living. It will give you a better life. Plus you’ll find that when you forgive, you’re always a winner. You don’t lose a thing. Because it’s not a sign of weakness to love somebody who hurts you. It’s a sign of strength. –Steven D. McDonald, the foreword in Why Forgive–
Forgiveness is a door to peace and happiness. It is a small, narrow door, and cannot be entered without stooping. It is also hard to find. But no matter how long the search, it can be found – Why Forgive—
