Be careful

Make friends

I love to make friends from all over the world. Seriously! It is such a new experience when you know somebody with different culture and background. My new friends comes from Scotland. He likes to send me some new pictures taken from his country, we also like to spare time for minutes just to say hello and chat. Though we never meet before, he really appreciate me as a 'real' friend. Haha, its hard to explain though. Here are some pics he sent to me. Aaaaaa, I wanna go there!!!

Piano Recital

It was months ago, my music school where I belong held a music recital at Harmony hall, Bogor. My students was so excited yet anxious in the same time because it was the time for them to perform what they've been learning for so long. 

The last picture taken when I was being a piano accompanist together with Christine, the violist. We, the instructors, also gave the special performance with playing 3 songs: All I ask of you, Time to say good bye, and Lascia Ch'io Pianga by Handel. 

I'm so proud with my students! No matter how they annoy me with many reasons not to practice, they prove that they really concern of being the best for things they have to responsible with. I wish you nothing but the best, guys! 

Paid off!

I was in internship session in the last 2,5months at one of the biggest IT solution company in Indonesia, located in Jakarta and Serpong. The main purpose of taking this internship is to fulfill the requirement to start doing thesis. On May 3rd, I got the internship defense with my counterpart and supervisor to present my report about what I have been doing for months. Thank God, I got A!!!

I was surprised and blessed how God works on me. You know, when I started doing the analysis, the head of production got angry to me because I always distract his time. Besides, I broke up with ex and it made me devastated for a while. But, I have to focus! First think first. I forced myself to keep thinking, typing and analyzing, meanwhile the tears can't stop dropping. I have to chase my future no matter how crumble I am. The tears, sweat, hard work finally paid off! I am so happy! I can not describe how happy at the time when my supervisor finally announced my score. She said A and it seemed all my sadness and bitterness wiped and gone! I know God never sleep and He knows what is best for me. I once asked for strength then He gives me problems. It is not because He wants to bring me down but to make me strong, exactly as I asked before. And here me now, stronger, hopeful and faithful that God will give me a better future if I always walk with Him. Amen.

Note this

Sometimes it's better to put that camera and your mobile phone down and really enjoy what you're seeing and being with.

Bitter becomes better

It's 4 am and I can't sleep. Too many reports to finish. Sigh.

Well, we don't know what the future might brings, but you have to face it, ready or not. 2012-2013 have been molded years for me. I ask to God few years ago for persevere, patience, strength, stronger faith and He really gives me that 'gifts' in these years with many challenges that I have to face. And as reward, surely I can get what I asked for.

How can we ask God for sweet things but we don't want to taste the bitter first? It will be sweet after we feel the bitterness and challenges which will mold us to be a better person who see the things with different point of view eventually. Difficult? Definitely! But I have no doubt for He will hold my hands in my bleeding time, yes, just like right now.

I run to God. I have no way out but Him. So why I have to worry?

Faith

Sometimes we make the plans to do this and that, we gonna go to here and there, but do we ever think that it's just a plan? 

So what if it couldn't happen exactly as we wish? Do we have to cry because of the failure that we can not avoid? Because what I've been learning is God already written your story, not you or somebody else.

Human make plans but if God doesn't answer with 'yes', does it mean we stop believe in God? does it mean you don't loved by God?

He has written a big story of you, Have faith!

Don't lose hope!
