A Sweet Little Escape may Happen in the Bathroom

Call it immature. Call it weird, but admit that it may always happen to you. At least once in a lifetime.

Feeling swamped with works, getting home exhausted, you'll find a small release when you take off your clothes and shower. It puts your stresses away, takes your burdens off. You start to make yourself comfortable in all of a sudden.

What's the magic in a small box called bathroom?

I believe there is a scientific explanation that when you take a bath, your body releases the blah blah blah and blah blah...I don't know.

The important thing to me is just that when I enter the room and close the door, start to water and clean and rinse myself, nothing can bother my mind from anything. I only have I, myself, and my mind (and my God of course) there. I have the chance to dream of any silly unrealistic crazy things I want without the fear of being called not normal. Ideas spread, inspirations are everywhere. Sweet.

No wonder some people could spend ages there, especially girls. It's just truly relaxing!

How could you be more relaxed and fresh? Feel the freedom. Feel the comfort. Feel the sweetness of living your dreamland. A very simple way to feel happy, isn't it?

Simply put, never forget to thank God for that sweet little spot you have to explore your mind in your sweet little time. Just be wise, though. ;)

Rumah Pohon

Aku...
Ingin ku ukir kenangan indah di ruang terdalam di hatimu
Ingin ku goreskan kata yang tulus dan abadi

Aku...
Ingin ku lantunkan untaian nada yang indah 'tuk temani kesunyian hatimu
Ingin ku dengungkan melodi menyejukkan 'tuk tenangkan gemuruh di jiwamu

Kau tempatku berteduh..di tengah riuhnya jeritan kalbuku
Kau tempatku bernaung..'tuk hapuskan air mata dan derita
Kau tempatku mencari kedamaian..di tengah ramainya duniaku
Kau tempatku bersandar..'tuk redakan setiap sakitku

Kamu...
Kamulah tempatku berharap dan berlindung
'tuk warnai jiwaku yang memudar

Kamu...
Kamulah yang terbaik yang kupunya
Kamulah rumahku...Rumah pohonku

You betrayed us.

We trust you..you ruin it, break our hearts..You simply disappoint us.

You love to break the rules..You're such a REBEL, I may say.

Rebels finds out breaking rules is fun, simply because they are DUMB.

They don't understand what the rules are made for. They're just too SELFISH to understand.

Rebels know it's risky to be one. They know they have consequences when they decide to break the rules.

If you're afraid to face the consequence of being a rebel..then why did you take the risk you COWARD?

Please don't underestimate the GRACE you got..because second chance doesn't come twice.

We LOVE you..we CARE about you..
Please don't underestimate it..don't underestimate us.

Can we just trust you?
Can I just trust you..?

The Comfort :)

Today's devotion reminded me of you, Lisa.

I thank God for the comfort he gave
To know you're in better place now
Without tears, sadness, sickness, mourn
Bring me a relief not to feel loss again
To let you go and be happy for you sincerely

For you have a heavenly address now.. :)
You definitely are much happier now
for Heaven is God's home, where you enjoy His presence for all eternity
for Heaven is comfortable in every way, where you'll never be sick, upset, hungry, or thirsty
for Heaven is a beautiful place, where a "clear as crystal" river will flow from God's throne,
and God Himself will give Heaven its light


It's comforting to know you are His bride now as you always dream of..
It's comforting to know you are enjoying heaven - a better place by far..
Praise the Lord! :D

You'll remain in my heart.. :)

It was the last day of February 2012. The first time in my life losing someone very close to me.
A dearest friend of mine, a sister in Christ.

Lisariana..
A beautiful tough girl who loves God with all of her heart and decided to commit all her life to serve Him.. :)
She's not a genius, so she never stopped trying to learn..
She didn't have a golden voice, but she did her best to sing for Him..
She couldn't play musical instruments damn well, but she used what she got to serve Him..
She faced a lot of problems, but she kept herself devoted to God..
She didn't have a perfect relationship with her family and friends, but she never stopped being grateful for having them..

No..She's far from perfect, she's not flawless, but she had an attitude to live..
An attitude to live as a good child of God.
An attitude to give all she had to serve God.
An attitude to do her best to glorify His name.
An attitude to be light wherever she was.
An attitude to love God and to devote all her life to Him. :)

It was a blessing to have such a dear friend like her.
It was a blessing to know her strengths and weaknesses, knowing her thoughts and feelings, to have a true friend like her.

Thank you for teaching me that being best friends doesn't mean having a perfect relationship, instead of having a  valuable relationship..accepting each other, understanding each other, encouraging each other, listening to and supporting each other, and of course praying for the best for each other. Love you a lot, Lis.

It was a shocking news as it made me couldn't feel my legs stepping on earth.
Facing the truth that we weren't together anymore..
Facing the truth that I haven't tried your super delicious dish yet..
Facing the truth that I was hoping to play piano for your wedding, but ended up playing it for your funeral..

It was a terrible news to hear, but it was a good news to know you are with Him now.
Miss you..

A Move.

Second day since moving to IPEKA's main office.. :)
If feels great here..not as tired as going to puri..haha
Anyway I was in love with IPEKA Puri already..I got good friends and nice kids there.. ^^

However being in the main office feels great too since I know some of them already, and Cicile is here!
haha we feel a bit awkward to be colleagues now..but hey who cares? haha..

Lesson learned:

Life's changing, but don't stop trying..

Make the best of every moment, do your best as long as you can..

Because chance doesn't come twice.. :)
..and don't forget to thank God whatever it may come.

Just face it, and be grateful of it.

Thank you Lord for everything. You're awesome.. :)
So let's keep doing the best!
Have a great life, people!! :D

Recent Updates

Wow! It's been ages since my last post.

Hi, I'm back! :)

Things happened, things changed.

Anyway, I have a news! I'm graduating this 21! YAY.

I can't stop thanking God for His abundant blessings and guidance during 3,5 years of my study in English Department of Atma Jaya. Thank you for being there everytime.. I mean it, everytime. Those times are hard, challenging, and yet fun. Thanks for the great adventure, Jesus! :D

Thank you for letting me graduate with satisfying results too. I never imagined to get these achievements, which always make me stand in awe everytime I think about it. How awesome You are!

Now I'm currently working in SMPK IPEKA Puri as an English teacher.. New fun experience. Yay!

The school is very far from my house which make me feel so exhausted, especially with my relentless activities preparing Easter at church. Oh my! :|

However, making friends with the students makes me feel happy..and young. :P

I'll learn a lot here.

See you in the next post! :D

Are we in Tune?

Once in a rainy afternoon, I heard a soothing melodies. I knew, that sound came from a piano. It was beautiful, so beautiful that made me feel like leaving this real world, deep into my fantasy.. The harmony was so calm and mild that made me keep wondering..

"how that beautiful sound is produced?"

A piano has many keys..Each of them has a unique sound. Although there are only 12 tones, but each of them has a different pitch. unique, it's unique..

In order to make a beautiful harmony, a pianist has to press some keys..Those keys work together, producing a certain harmony.. They work alternately, combining some harmonies to be a beautiful song in accordance with the pianist's hands, which turns out to be a beautiful performance..

Somehow I wondered..it's life..it's us..

We live together, we are the keys..God is the pianist.

Let's live in harmony, helping each other, supporting one another, completing each other to live according to God's will.

Let's do our best, don't ruin the harmony. Once a key is broken, it will burden all the other keys, and of course distress the pianist.

Let's live in tune.. :)

And after I lost myself to a deep thinking, I realized..

that beautiful sound came from my hands on my piano.. :)
