organization, charity. MUCHLOVE!



Anne Frank

“no one has ever become poor by giving.”

yah, no one has ever become poor by giving, no one.. as i said, im not a good moslem. but i believe if Allah will give us mooooreeee than what we give to other people. its written in Al-Qur'an. and i think all religions teach the same thing, teach us how to be a good person who have good morality.

ok, forget about the religion. two days ago, actually.. i have two same events: charity, breakfasting with some orphans in two different places, by two of community organizations that i follow; Front Pembela Merah Putih, FPMP (FRONT DEFENDER OF INDONESIAN'S FLAG; red and white) and Komite Nasional Pemuda Indonesia, KNPI (COMMITTEE NATIONAL OF INDONESIAN'S YOUTH ).

they have events in the same time on Friday, KNPI at 3pm and FPMP at 4pm. aaah wish i could become an amoeba and split my body in two two. then could in two places at the same time. lol. so, i just went to KNPI first before i went to FPMP. hmmm, i was there maybe.. only 10 minutes, poooorrr. i think they're miss me. so sad to remember their face when met me, sooo excited and BUM so sad when i said "sorry i must go now" :( then i went to FPMP.


here is it in KNPI's quarters. with some orphans and poor people *sorry, im not feel good when i said them like that.. is there other words to describe them to be more subtle? sorry sorryyy my english is not good.
this is the pictures in the last year. i didnt take the picture because of timeee.. the Mayor of my city, attended the event. and hopefully it sincerely from his heart not because of political interests.



in FPMP

woaah everyone miss me. because i was sick last month, so i never come to FPMP's quarters anymore. hugs hugs huuugs. im happy to met them again yesterday. i love them soooo much.


then, yesterday.. i attended the Warbler Lovers Community in my city with the same event. charity and breakfasting with some cute children from some orphanages in my city.
FYI: my father in heaven doesnt has twin, but i found someone who have similar, SAME FACE and posture like my father. and i call him daddy :" it was the best gift ever, because i met him on my 20th birthday. thanks God..
i feel fortunate to be among them. contributed to the event. as my grandfather said that.. the duties of someone in this world is to make other people happy.
i always try to do it. although i admit it is very hard to do. i'll try

I'm not supposed to love you. I'm not supposed to live my life wishing you were there. I'm not supposed to wonder where you are or what you do. I'm sorry I cant help myself because I'm in love with you.

an EX is just an EXAMPLE


Your EX is just a living proof that you can do better. A perfect EXample of what you shouldn't want, a motivation to get what you deserve.
 Ritu Ghatoure

EX means: thanks for the EXperience, our times has EXpired, now EXIT my life. making mistakes is my habit and u were one of them. an EX should stay an EX. they're the EXample of false love and an EXplanation for why i deserve better. sometimes, i gotta run away. so i can see who will run after me. i gotta talk quieter just to see who's listening. i gotta step up in a fight just to see who's standing by my side. i gotta make a wrong decision only to see who's there to help me fix it. a guy who really loves me, not only want "something" from me, sees what a mess i can be, how moody i can get, and how hard i am to handle, but still wants me in his life. i will go with someone who is not only proud to have me, but will also take every risk just to be with me.

this is the point: I'M TOO SEXY FOR MY EX!!

language of teenage girls

fine - pissed off completely
five minutes - an hour
nothing - something
im just tired - im upset, hug me.
go ahead - don't even think about it
thanks - this is a legit apology
thanks a lot - this is NOT a legit apology. this is COMPLETELY SARCASTIC
nice - not nice.
im fine - im not fine at all, cant you see it?

goldayyy 

sometimes when someone make an apology to me, i just answer "thanks" and when i think his reason to apology is not make sense, i just say "thanks a lot"
and sometimes when i  was very disappointed and hung up the call, it was i wanted him to actually call me back. and make me calm down.
yah, that's girl.. complicated.

det trorukke på sjøl engang

"det trorukke på sjøl engang, det trorukke på sjøl engang, det trorukke på sjøl engang
 det trorukke på sjøl engang, det trorukke på sjøl engang, det trorukke på sjøl engang
  det trorukke på sjøl engang, det trorukke på sjøl engang, det trorukke på sjøl engang"

i tried to memorize this song every day. geez! but the song is really really difficult to say. "this is our song" he said that. :p its a song he made. it means "you dont believe in that yourself even"

well Norwegian guy, u tried to make me melt everytime with those poems that you translate via Google. lol i can see it from the rigid Indonesian language :p but i admit its really sweet haha thankyou

first poem:
"meskipun
saya hanya bisa berjalan
setengah jalan untuk Anda
saya masih akan melakukannya
karena lebih dekat dari sekarang"

second poem:
"Anda
seperti jatuh
aku terbang
tapi kemudian saya menyentuh tanah"

third poem:
"saya hanya melihat Anda
ketika saya melihat sesuatu yang lain
semua saya lihat adalah Anda
senyum Anda, mata Anda
tubuh Anda dan hati Anda"

he's still very annoying everytime. he is lazy guy! always fight with me. he always told me if im "manja" spoiled, he always feel if im so controlling to him *he told me if im the first one who make him did printscreen :p he always thinks if he is Marc Warren, can do everything at the same time, he thinks if he stronger than John Cena, he can speak all languages. he calls me Pally. i think that's what makes me want to always see him.

and today..you know? i feel lucky to watch you sleep.

Indonesian traditions before Ramadhan

hey, tomorrow.. eh no, two days again.. eh no i dont know, when Ramadhan will started. lol. Indonesian people still wait the government and the clergy for the info when the Ramadhan will start. they are still meeting today and still observed when Hilal will appear. ok, i dont have enough knowledge about Hilal. maybe you can search it in Google and this the news in Indonesia. Ramadhan 2013, Awal Berbeda Akhir Bersama. u can translate it in ur language.

ok Indonesia, where the majority of the Muslim community, various events or traditions of welcoming Ramadan many held in various regionsin the Islamic calendar, Ramadan will begin with the coming month of Sha'ban. nah in the month of Sha'ban is usually a lot of ceremonies held tradition of welcoming the month of Ramadhan. 
ok here is it the tradition of welcoming Ramadan which my family or generally carried out by most people of Indonesia:

1.  apologize to the people around us before Ramadan
Islam teaches us to apologize, if we did wrong to others or hurt someone.
FYI FYI, FOR YOUR INFO: grrrr its really really annoying if u use Blackberry. u will got many broadcast about this apologize more than 50 broadcasts per day!!! *ok, its depend of how many ur contact. and most of them sent the same sentences, same paragraphs. ok, i just hope Allah will give many rewards for first person who wrote, and have idea to sent that broadcast. they just copy-paste and sent. omg sure its really annoyed!!! hey, u know, u use smartphone, use it in a smart way. put ur apologize into ur personal message or status its the way better.
  
2. go to cemetery
in addition to the memory that has gone, also reminds us of a pilgrimage to the tomb of death and the afterlife. i went to my father and my great-grandmother's cemetery at 5 pm today with my step father. glad to visited them. we pray for them, cleaning their headstone, laying flowers, and pour water for them.

i took a frangipani flower when i will leave the cemetery

i removed my nail polish. because it was not allowed in Islam to wear nail polish when you pray. or ur pray will called unlawful.  ok, i know im not a good moslem. but i want my fasting and my worship when Ramadan is lawful. i dont want going to waste Ramadhan month that only comes once a year.

3. exchanging food at the mosque
my mom cooked special dishes today, every mom i think. food was placed into something like baskets maybe called "besek" and then inserted again in the crackle. collected and then taken to the mosque to pray. after besek are distributed back to those who carry besek. every home should deliver the besek, and this is usually carried by their children. the children are very happy with this.
this tradition is intended that all people can feel what others feel. because the level of welfare of different people, definitely food every home is different.
we must realize that not everyone is lucky. therefore we must be grateful with what we have today.

okay, i think it's just those traditions who usually Indonesian people did.here are many more traditions that are commonly or not commonly did by the Indonesian people in various areas. of course different way, but the spirit remains the same, which is a form of gratitude and joy the coming of the Muslims fasting month.

so, me and my big family wanna say "Minal Aidzin Wal'faidzin, Mohon Maaf Lahir dan Bathin. sorry for all our mistakes yaa...." :p

magic guy, Paijo

he thinks if he is the number one humble guy in the world
he can read other people's mind *whoa
he is always playing game when with me, playing game everyyyyytime
his smile like a sun and i dont like it hahaha

i know his favorite food that he eats everyday
he gave me good songs
he never wear t-shirt -_______-'
he thinks if he is fat. lol
and..

"how old are u?" a guy from Norway asked me that when he read my blog. he thought if im 13, romantic dreaming. what? ofcourse im 21 and yes im a big dreamer. why? problem for u? :p

"but racism is against a race, and France isnt a race. but, its stereotypical. because you cant judge other people over one guy" hey, cool sentences!

"all girls want to go to Paris? youre so hopeless romantic. Paris is a dirty, crowded city. no need to go there. an Indonesian beach is way better" hmmmmmmmmm...............................

him : "thats so little princess" hey, yes i am :p hahaha
me  : "is it weird?"
him : "not weird, just very girly" hmm im not really girly, i like to watch John Cena, smackdown, WWE. remember? :p

"about the prince that made the princess laugh. and then went to Paris. and put the roses in the bed. and drink champagne and buy vintage clothes. riding off in the sunset on a white horse. with to big bouquets of red roses"
hahaha good idea

Tiffany and Adam's farewell

there is always a goodbye in every hello
 
yesterday was Tiffany and Adam's farewell. me, Caya and Popo Cima went to De'Arte cafe, to say goodbye to them. wait, who are they? they are lecturers in Caya and Popo Cima's university. although im not in same university with Caya and Popo, we often spent weekend together. i just remember someday Caya and Popo Cima, and Cece Linda (aw but she didnt join us yesterday because she is in Jakarta since two days ago) asked me to join them to visited Tiffany's home. it was the first time i met Tiffany and Baby Reuben (Tiffany and Adam's son) Reuben is really adorable! now he has lil sis, Adalyn. ofcourse she is reaaallllyy cute, she has marble eyes.

it was the first time i met Adam yesterday, but ive been heard a lot about him before. sure he is really good lecturer, he is really friendly. so sad to realize if Tiffany, Adam, Reuben, and Baby Adalyn will leave Indonesia, Lampung on July 9. wish the best for you all.. takecare and see yaa at US, we will visit you someday!

note: me, Caya, Popo Cima. i think we have many similarities. we like western life, and of course we like caucasians than Indonesian man :p but Popo is senior here. haha lol. me and Caya always learn everything from her. she is a teacher for us lol *ah yah, i know Popo from Caya; my soulmateeee, my sisy, my everythinggggg.


1. its Adam and Reuben. well, Adam is really tall. and Reuben, i think we will miss u the most! i know u will be a good boy and can takecare of ur lil sis, Adalyn :*

2. me with Tiffany. she has really soft voice when she's speak. and im really envy with it.

3. i think she is my mom's twins. and my mom's bestfriend. she is very chatty and talkative to me. aw but thanks God i have her. Caya.

4. yihaa Baby Adalyn enjoyed to hold in Popo Cima's arms. so, why we call Popo? because she is Chinese and she is senior. Popo means grandma lol Popo we love you!

 
and this is me :p
 
photos couldn’t describe in detail of what we have experienced throughout our journey but we would say the valuable knowledge that we have gained is totally priceless.
we have improved our English, our knowledge about western life, about Caucasians, about people out there, about everything how to be good in this life throughout the conversations with Tiffany. thankyou so much!

"... When I was in complete surrender of who I am, the helpless idiot venturing her endless lessons of love and life. When I was thankful that he would grow a day older and see what a mess I could be. And I can feel I am arriving in that moment again, right now, as I am cuddled like his Teddy, and still not knowing what to do or what to decide."

gift for my mom

today i spend much of my time in front of computer. suddenly my mom called me from the porch, i came and turned out. there was a traveling salesman came to my house this evening. he brought three paintings, i immediately fell in love with a painting of fields. because it was late, i feel sorry for the old man, beside that he was from the same town as my family, Jogjakarta, Java island.
finally i bought it for my mother. i will not talk prices here. lol
i think this is as a gratitude because she has been keeping me so patiently and tenderly when i was sick in the hospital last week.

for awesome single out there

u are single? wait, ure not alone. me too! haha.
dont be panic, dont be sad. single ga selamanya menyedihkan kok. ketimbang pacaran tapi disakitin, diboongin, apalagi diselingkuhin. milih mana coba? :p jangan syedih shay!

"YOU SHOULD BE MRS.RIGHT, IF YOU WANT TO BE WITH MR.RIGHT"

yep, itu quotes entah dari mana gue lupa. yang jelas magic banget buat gue. i keep it in my mind. ketika lo down, ngerasa sampah banget ga nemu-nemu juga orang baik yang tepat buat lo, lo fikir deh "apa kita udah cukup baik buat seseorang?"

so, tugas kita sekarang perbaikin diri. keep calm, Allah udah siapin yang terbaik buat kita ;)

“There are a hundred things she has tried to chase away the things she won't remember and that she can't even let herself think about because that's when the birds scream and the worms crawl and somewhere in her mind it's always raining a slow and endless drizzle.

You will hear that she has left the country, that there was a gift she wanted you to have, but it is lost before it reaches you. Late one night the telephone will sign, and a voice that might be hers will say something that you cannot interpret before the connection crackles and is broken.

Several years later, from a taxi, you will see someone in a doorway who looks like her, but she will be gone by the time you persuade the driver to stop. You will never see her again.

Whenever it rains you will think of her. ”

Neil Gaiman

HUJAN, PETRICHOR

tau nggak sih? kalo bau tanah basah yang kecium waktu hujan turun itu disebut petrichor.


mungkin ada beberapa yang suka sama bau petrichor. kalo gue gausah ditanya, thats why kenapa gue selalu suka sama gerimis atau hujan. petrichor inilah yang gue tunggu. gue bisa habisin waktu gue diteras lama-lama sampe hujan reda, cuma buat ngerasain dinginnya embun, angin, aroma petrichor, bahkan kalo beruntung gue bisa liat pelangi.

katanya nih, kalo kita suka sama aroma petrichor. itu artinya kita ngewarisin perasaan dari leluhur kita yang emang bergantung sama iklim basah buat ngedukung kemampuan mereka bertahan hidup. hmm petrichor sih menurut gue, bau penghanyut alam bawah sadar. iya ngga sih? lo bakal keinget tuh si mantan waktu lagi ujan-ujanan berdua. haha

petrichor, kata ini tersusun dari bahasa Yunani, petra yang berarti batu dan ichor artinya cairan yang mengalir dalam pembuluh darah para dewa dalam mitologi Yunani. istilah ini diciptain pada tahun 1964 oleh dua peneliti Australia, Bear dan Thomas, untuk sebuah artikel di jurnal Nature. dalam artikel itu, penulis ngejelasin gimana bau berasal dari minyak yang dipancarkan oleh tanaman tertentu waktu masih kering, terus diserap oleh tanah dan batu. selama hujan, minyak dilepaskan ke udara bersama dengan senyawa lain, geosmin, menghasilkan aroma khas yaitu petrichor.

senyawa petrichor ini udah ada namanya dalam senyawa kimia lho namanya adalah senyawa 2-decanone. selain dari senyawa tadi bau bauan khas hujan katanya juga terdapat karena pelepasan spora dari bakteri actinomycetes yang hidup didalam tanah lembap basah dan akan mati kalo tanah itu kering.

vintage for me

if you're open this blog u will see what the theme i used here, yes vintage! then vintage tends to mean 60s-early 80s. technically, it means out dated. however, it's used to define the styles of the past that are popular today.

clothing always repeats itself in cycles (the next time your mom gives you grief about wearing two different colored socks, ask her what she wore in the 80s) but the current trend isn't wearing clothes with a new interpretation, but actually the pieces from that era.


it's actually one of my favorite styles. the ideas don't actually have to be old though. just the look or 'feel' of them. there are a lot of modern 'vintage' styles if that makes sense. a lot of stores make clothes that are supposed to look like they are from a few generations ago.

look now! at my campus, vintage is back! everyone use old type of their clothes. and i did it too. i love when my mom gives me her old clothes. there are too many story about every pieces of them.and i love to hear that stories.

and i just have plan to have a house of my own. i will make it be a vintage house, maybe its the first idea in Indonesia, Lampung especially. i will get it! amen!

vintage music for today


One of the classics in VSOP's catalogue is Lucky Lucy Ann (1957) by former Les Brown vocalist Lucy Ann Polk. this is "Dontcha Go Away Mad", the final track on the album. There is a lot more greatness where this come from in the VSOP catalogue.
