Christmas been passed. Now, lets talk about something a bit heavy: God and religion. A few days before Christmas, I took a trip to get my hometown at Central Java. I took a bus and without any permission I met my little friend, Alan -like your long hair by the way. Then, we started to have a little chat by phone after that meeting.
One day, in a night chat, we talked about God -cause it was near to the Christmas Day-, and I just knew that he ever try to make a space to God because of one and any reasons. But there's one thing that maybe not only become his question but mine also, and I know that there are plenty people out there asking the same: (in a very simple way) is there really A God up there?
With no offense to any religions, communities, and cultures, I decided to write up my mind here on my blog. Once again, it's only one young woman with her short mind.. So, how if there is actually nothing up there in the sky and clouds (I used to think that clouds was the heaven and God live there)? How if all of the shit happened, good things happened, it's all nature, only nature, like "The Secret" told us? Kikin ever asked me this way: how if the God is the same with the mountain, the difference is the civilization -long long time ago, people worshiped the mountain, because their knowledge could only reach mountain with its anger, which is the eruption, but now people knew that the larva was a volcanic process not the mountain's rage.. or how if there was actually one very clever and brilliant man who created all of this religion and God's rule to secure the world from racism, criminality, etc.. Well, who knows? Maybe you know, but nobody really knows.
So, for the ending part, I choose back to believe, cause you know all up above is only my brains, what I more depend on is the hearts. And when someday I die, I'd really like to meet You up there, Father..
I already opened Kikin's gift. I got the right color, the right size, the-exactly-what-I-want-for-this-last-three-months-but-I-cannot-buy-because-of-(you-know)-the-price : purple X2 sunglasses. Thank you so mucho mucho! Ouh, and I gave him a pair of black formal Guy Laroche socks. Anyway, compare to his, my gift is ugly :(
Last night, I attended a Christmas Eve Mass with my pap-mom-2nd bro-and my cousin - Ririn. Welcome abroad, Jesus :)
For my girls, I gave them this reindeer cute headbands
So, again, me and Kikin saying "Ho ho ho, Merry Christmas!"
December is absolutely my fav month, because of the Christmas! This season, I think I was being so happy born as a girl, because girls can do a gifts exchange (tukar kado ??) without any shame. This is what I got as the Earlier Christmas Presents!
The upper pic was from Melisa, my boarding house mate. I got chocolate candies inside it. And the other was from Regina (I did the garage sale with her), I got a frame with our photos inside it. Thank you, girls *big hug
And the biggest thing which make me so excited is the gift from Kikin. I can't open it yet, we promise to open the presents on December 25 which is TOMORROW (hoorayyyy). I gave him bla bla bla, you have to wait with me, hehehe..
The upper is what I gave to him, other is what I got. Can't wait!
MERRY CHRISTMAS, everyone! May joy, hope, believe, and blessing upon you all, Amen. Ciao, xo.
Hi, Readersssss! This gonna be a quite long writing, so please just sit and enjoy :)
A few days ago, I spent a day and night with my friends. That was an unforgettable moment that I had. Big thankss to Miranti and Regina, the two whom I know was made the event could been realized. This event was made in order to strengthen our friendship, due to the graduation of some of our members, so this event can also been called "far e well". Since that evening, I know for sure that I love them all, and I always will. Here they are.
There is one agenda on this event which each of us had to exchange the gift that we had prepared previously with others' gift (actually it wasn't a simple exchange like you all read, but we must play a certain game first, totally fun!). And the funny thing about this agenda is that I got Kikin's present, and he got mine, what a pity, cause we buy those presents together, so the first time when we saw the wrap, we spontaneously scream, hahaha.. But I still like it, red Elmo doll, cute. I gave him a set of badminton tools - in small size of course.
Another substory: me, Miranti, and Rani finally got our photos which contain only the three of us (we had want it for a long time, weird that we got it just now huh??)..
Ouhh, and a week before the event, Miranti asked me to make a writing about this friendship, and here is what I got. A simple writing titled:
Friendmily
Birds fly in a group, because it will be easier to them to resist the wind blow. Ants looking for bread crumb together, because the crumb will be much lighter when they lift it up together. Accordance, in a certain season the whales do migration in a swarm, so they can support each other, to reach their destination. That is what animals do. And what we do was exactly the same. Here we are, in the middle of big big world; try to survive from all of the insecurity and uncertainty, making a cluster, named friendship.
But when one bird was exhausted, the others were keep flying. When an ant was threatened by a human feet, their group was keep walking. And when one huge whale got old and weak, his swarm was still swimming, leaving the old die. That’s what animals do, but not us. And that is why this cluster no longer named friendship, but friendmily. Sometimes we fight like a friend, but we always love like a family. And when there’s one of us gone, everything won’t ever be the same.

This is a short fact about love and apology (well, as for me). For me both are the same. They should be declared explicitly. You can’t love without sounding “I love you”, because that will feel weak. Accordance, you can’t apologize without saying “I’m sorry”. You can’t just giving a cute doll or candies or maybe parcels and ask your friends to understand that you’ve felt guilty for anything bad you’ve did. That is selfish. What happened with those giant dignities? I never despise people who are wrong and then say sorry. Wrong-mistaken-wrong again-mistaken again, that’s what people do, that’s what I do, there’s nothing wrong about that, so why you should feel disgrace to ask for forgiveness? Anybody?
Hiruk tak lagi pikuk Malam kembali temaram Sekat senja terus turun, capai tanah dunia Tak lama muncullah Kirana Si Cantik yang anggun, gemulai nan bercahaya Terbangun ia dari lelapnya Keluar menyambut bintang-bintang Surga
Kakiku terus berjalan Pulang ke haribaan Hatiku pun lelah, lemah mengucap pasrah Mengejar mimpi usai sudah
p.s: didedikasikan untuk siapa saja yang akhirnya menyerah kalah. you're still a hero.
This morning, me and my friends set up a garage sale event at Gasibu, Bandung. We were so happy, because many of our stuffs got sold. Yeayyy!! It was a cool experience there.. So, please meet me and the three other pretty girls at Gasibu, two weeks from now. See ya, ciao, xo.
I like writing, I like it so much. I like the tic-tac sounds came from my laptop pads anytime I toot the letter pads. I like writing as much as I like the rain and the color brown. I can sit for hours, keep tracking of something beautiful, rain for oftentimes, then write them down. Just like now, enjoying the self-time, thinking, seeing dark and thunder, hearing nature, and write them down.
Do you ever think why there are a lot of kids and women and men, teens and olds who are alive but not live? I mean like those who are ill, paralyzed, or disabled from the beginning of their life. What’s the purpose of their born? For their surrounding, of course they give them many lessons, to be grateful for our life, to be grateful for this hands and legs, for this eyes and good lungs and strong heart, and the liver, and so on. But for they their-selves? What is it? What’s Your plan, my Dear Lord? In my limitary logic, I think they are Angels You sent to world, for humanity, for people like me. I hope, really hope they are truly Angels. Please made them Angels, Lord, let them all be happy.
December's coming I see the bells in gold and glow I hear the songs, the fast and the slow How happy can still enjoy the jingles, the tinkles How blessed can still feel the lights of candles It seems like my life has been so perfect But my mouth is still ask for some happiness of fake I got all I have just by the irony of fate But sometimes I admit those as the success of my trade
It's always nice, the ambiance of Christmas The tree, candy, Santa Claus, the green and red, The party, and the merry We decorate our home We buy presents for family We dress our body with white shirt or gown Till sometimes we forget to fill it up with some kindness We forget to give a little gift for Baby Jesus
Let's see our surrounding Look around and spread the love we have Let's make everybody smiles with a little thing we can do Because we've been so blessed With our shiny eyes, Our blushing cheeks, Our clearly voice, Our handy hands, Our sturdy legs, Our lovely family, Our trendy handbag and shoes, With our completeness. Let's share it, people
Merry Christmas 2010 May you all have a little Christmas in your heart God bless!
