7. Don’t waste your precious energy on gossip, energy vampires, issues of the past, negative thoughts or things you cannot control. Instead invest your energy in the positive present moment.

Akhirnya mei datang juga.. Bulan yang ditunggu-tunggu karena ini adalah bulan kelahiran aku Ternyata udah setahun lagi aku dikasih kesempatan buat hidup di dunia ini. Sungguh itu semua karena kasih Dia yang tak pernah habis. Banyak banget yang udah aku alamin selama setahun ini dan cuma 2 kata yang bisa aku ungkapkan yaitu mengucap syukur. Setiap jalan yang kuambil, berkelok ataupun lurus, ada Dia yang selalu menunjukkan bagaimana menyelesaikan semua itu dengan baik. Rasanya sungguh amazed dengan apa yang kualami hingga saat ini. Setiap tawa dan tetesan air mata yang ada menjadi kumpulan satu cerita dalam hidupku. Memang, hidup bersama Dia selalu berwarna..

Yang namanya awal bulan memang waktunya memanjakan diri. Setelah habis-habisan menahan diri karena minggu-minggu terakhir di akhir bulan, ini saatnya untuk sedikit menikmati hidup. Dengan apa? tentunya jalan-jalan dan makan enak, yang baru aku lakukan kemaren. Rasanya setiap stress yang ada ditinggalin dulu dan menikmati waktu bersama teman-teman. Cerita, ketawa, bahkan foto-foto, semua ini terasa bagaikan kehidupan baru. Berlebihan? Mungkin tapi itulah yang aku rasakan.

Aku udah dapet early birthday present dari bokap yaitu Canon EOS 1000D. Akhirnya hobi aku yang suka motret-motret bisa tersalurkan juga lewat kamera ini. Ada cerita lucu waktu mau beli kamera ini, saat bokap liat gambar kamera yang mau aku beli ini, dia langsung nanya,”kamu mau jadi wartawan? kok kameranya gede amat?” langsung ketawa ngakak-ngakak deh. Bokap emang paling the best dah. Tinggal satu lagi harapan ulang tahunku kali ini yaitu berlibur bersama di Bali. With this trip, my birthday this time will be a blast!!

Oh iya, postingan untuk citra diri ditangguhkan sampe postingan selanjutnya ya. Bakal banyak yang mau aku ceritakan ke kalian semua tentan hal ini. Sound simple but it’s very important in our life.

Ciao everyone!!! God Bless u…

Minggu ini banyak banget kejadian yang mengagumkan bersama Dia. Banyak banget yang bisa aku pelajari lewat Dia. Sangat banyak hingga cuma satu kalimat yang bisa aku ucapkan ke Dia yaitu terima kasih. Ya, terima kasih.. Terima kasih buat kasih Dia yang begitu besar dalam hidupku. Terima kasih karena aku boleh melayani Dia dalam usiaku yang cukup muda ini. Terima kasih karena aku boleh mengenalkan Bapaku yang sangat luar biasa ke orang lain. Tak cukup rasa terima kasih yang bisa kuucapkan kepadaMu hingga akhir hidupku.

Dunia makin kehilangan apa yang namanya kasih. Seiring dengan berkembangnya teknologi, semua menjadi bisa dilakukan bahkan untuk hal-hal yang sepertinya adalah basic bagi seorang manusia yaitu berbicara. Aku menulis ini bukan karena alasan apapun juga. Aku hanya mengutarakan pendapatku yang udah kusimpan di pikiranku. Sekarang orang nggak perlu berbicara untuk menyampaikan sesuatu. Dengan menggunakan blackberry messenger, rasanya berbicara jadi sesuatu yang makin lama makin jarang dilakukan. Bukannya melarang untuk memakai blackberry tapi kalau memakai berlebihan bisa jadi kecanduan. Yang ada cuman nunduk dan ngetik di blackberry karena rata-rata semua orang ada di dalam list blackberry messenger. Well, semua yang dipakai berlebihan akan menjadi sesuatu yang tidak baik, itu yang pernah dikatakan oleh teman saya. Jangankan blackberry, Facebook aja bisa menjadi suatu kecanduan. Biasanya kan orang cuma puasa makan tapi sekarang beberapa teman saya ada yang puasa facebook karena merasa udah terlalu berlebihan dalam memakai facebook. hehehehe. Udahan dulu deh ngomongin soal ini, rasanya uneg-unegnya udah keluar semua. hehehehe.

Post selanjutnya tentang citra diri yang seharusnya kita punyai. Ditunggu ya. Semoga post aku bisa menjadi berkat bagi yang baca. God bless semuanya.

Banyak masalah menimpa manusia akhir-akhir ini.

TETAPI…

untuk yang berpegang teguh kepadaNYA

you will be alright.

Lay your life for HIM and HE will take care it for you.

Just try and He wont disappoint you.

God loves you.

Have a blessed day!!!

kalo udah mau pulang

pasti rasa ini kembali lagi…

gue ga suka

Baru-baru aja blogwalking di blog seorang pastor senior dari Minnesota, United States. Dia menuliskan doa Pastor Rick Warren waktu pelantikan Barrack Obama sebagai presiden ke 44 Amerika. Below is the prayer..

Inauguration Prayer for President Barack Obama by Pastor Rick Warren

Almighty God, our Father:

Everything we see, and everything we can’t see, exists because of you alone.

It all comes from you, it all belongs to you, it all exists for your glory.

History is your story.

The Scripture tells us, “Hear, O Israel, the LORD is our God, the LORD is one.” And you are the compassionate and merciful one. And you are loving to everyone you have made.

Now today we rejoice not only in America’s peaceful transfer of power for the 44th time, we celebrate a hinge point of history with the inauguration of our first African American president of the United States.

We are so grateful to live in this land, a land of unequaled possibility, where a son of an African immigrant can rise to the highest level of our leadership. And we know today that Dr. King and a great cloud of witnesses are shouting in heaven.

Give to our new president, Barack Obama,

the wisdom to lead us with humility,

the courage to lead us with integrity,

the compassion to lead us with generosity.

Bless and protect him, his family, Vice President Biden, the Cabinet, and every one of our freely elected leaders.

Help us, O God, to remember that we are Americans–united not by race or religion or blood, but to our commitment to freedom and justice for all.

When we focus on ourselves, when we fight each other, when we forget you–forgive us.

When we presume that our greatness and our prosperity is ours alone–forgive us.

When we fail to treat our fellow human beings and all the earth with the respect that they deserve–forgive us.

And as we face these difficult days ahead, may we have a new birth of clarity in our aims, responsibility in our actions, humility in our approaches, and civility in our attitudes—even when we differ.

Help us to share, to serve, and to seek the common good of all.

May all people of good will today join together to work for a more just, a more healthy, and a more prosperous nation and a peaceful planet.

And may we never forget that one day, all nations–and all people–will stand accountable before you.

We now commit our new president and his wife, Michelle, and his daughters, Malia and Sasha, into your loving care.

I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life—Yeshua, ‘Isa, Jesus [Spanish pronunciation], Jesus—who taught us to pray:

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,

for Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

Amen.

Gue suka banget dengan kata-kata yang di-bold di atas. Sungguh doa yang powerful. Gue berharap Barack Obama dapat membawa perubahan yang baik di Amerika dan Dunia. Well..satu orang dapat membawa harapan tapi butuh kerja keras semua orang untuk dapat membawa perubahan. Let’s support him and work together. God bless smuaa!! Have a nice day!!

Diet dan liburan memang nggak pernah sejalan. Selalu aja bentrok. Niatnya mau turunin berat badan dengan acara jalan-jalan tapi tetep aja ujung-ujungnya makan juga malah lebih banyak daripada kalo nggak jalan-jalan. Emang sih secara logika kan kalo jalan-jalan keluar tenaga jadi perlu asupan makanan tapi kalo makannya nggak berhenti bisa jadi berabe deh. Susah emang kalo mau diet pas liburan. hahahaha. Sekarang udha nggak tau naik berapa kg tapi perut sudah mulai membesar dan pinggang sudah mulai melebar. Absolutely not good signs… oh dear *worry mode on* I hope I lost my weight some kilos so I can buy new clothes again. hahahaha. I think that’s my main purpose of this post. C ya there girls!!
