Green Tea Frappuccino

Call me cheesy or whatever, but I fell in love with this man. He gave me love, life, and the most important thing of all is that he gave me laugh, lots and lots and lots and lots of it, and I'm very thankful. Frankly, I'm tired of wishing, but dear shooting stars, if only I could just have one wish,I wish that he could be my last, to be the person I will spend the rest of my life with.

MIND TRICK

Have you ever had a feeling that strong towards someone you barely ever met? ...

GO FOR IT!

Lately, I feel like an overloaded hard drive—too many things running simultaneously, all demanding my attention. Beyond my routine work as an Urban Designer at a Master Planning and Landscape consultancy, I’ve also taken on the role of a tourism ambassador for Depok, the city I’ve called home since I was just three months old.

My days have become much more diverse, filled with multitasking and balancing different responsibilities. Yet, despite the chaos, I’m genuinely excited that I can still "be"—present, engaged, and thriving.

I feel incredibly grateful and blessed to have such a supportive circle of amazing family and friends who’ve stood by me since high school and college. Their unwavering encouragement keeps me going, and for that, I am beyond thankful.

July has made me feel a little older (sigh), but life goes on, and I look forward to meeting more inspiring people this year. Thank you all for the thoughtful calls, heartfelt wishes, beautiful prayers, fantastic gifts, and delightful voice recordings. You’ve made this journey even more meaningful. ❤️

 

CHALLENGE

As I step further towards the end of the road I realize that the shades of grey covers my view, giving a slight left for me to continue the journey. Every move thought and speech became a diverse continuum that one can not even interpret. We all live in shadows, trapped inside it because of the external force. Even the nature is helpless.  I can only step forward for the reason that the past path was erased by the dark reflection of myself. I only have my self and my faith.  

REVIEW : PART I

And I was in the middle of wrapping up my mini presentation of a seminar review about sustainable building and construction for my company "TOMORROW" morning while writing this post. I got bored and thought I could use some refreshments. 

So, I decided to pay a visit here. As I scrolled through the labels of my post it came through my mind the heading "PRIORITY", I remembered that I wrote it exactly a year ago, I think it was supposed to be a new year's resolution, but I was too busy with my final project that I eventually recalled jotting down one in April last year.

- Wrap up my Final Year Project
- Apply for an Internship somewhere in a faraway land, or 
- scholarship for master's degree
 (well, I managed to apply for some this year, I'm crossing my fingers for my Fulbright application, and others, I really hope that I could continue my master's soon without constraints of any working contract, Amin)
- Get a summer job
- Spend more time with friends
- Wrap up my department report
- Jogging (this kinda worked out *a bit*)
- Try new cooking and document them (* I did try to make some pancakes :D? *)
- Write a story that i had in my head since a couple of months ago
  *Maybe make a biography :D* (Ii did manage to make a CV for job interviews?! *Close enough*) 
- Travel around Holland and snap some pictures.
- Read some good books
- Learn some new languages
(Even if I started this a bit too late, I still managed to get it on track :D my German class starts this 5th of May yeaayy! :D)
- Conduct a small version of lonely planet
(In this case I'm also planning to visit some places, hope my plan works out well :)) 
- and well... maybe join another conference. 

It's actually nice to make some goals, it gives me the idea of where I am going and keeps me in the right track. Out of the 17 resolutions I made, I managed to achieve 10, in progress of achieving 3, and failed in 4.

So, I guess I'm ready to get back on the track. :) hellooo 2012!

THE SPEED OF LIGHT THROUGH TIME AND SPACE

NORTH SAILS OF THE MODERN BATAVIA

SELF REFLECTION

Its been a while since my fingers had been dancing on top of my loyal-life supporting Asus.I left this blog for almost (1...2...3...4.. ok) 5 months already. After I got back from that vicious cold country, underwent a proper convocation ceremony, and eventually got employed, things a bit changed. Since I've been committed to a working contract as an assistant Urban Design consultant I'm lacking of precious spare time after office hours *seriously I'm not wining nor complaining, just contemplating.. well maybe a little- but just a little*. I solemnly believe that this is a consequence of being employed, I work to be responsible of what I am obligated to take part in and I am satisfied of how I was "capable" of filling the national market demand.

This is to remind myself how I had went through living my life, just to reflect myself on how my emotions and maturity developed. How decisions that were made determines where I head to in life, how I was able to obtain the best out of un-mendable mistakes that I accidentally or consciously made. It's still a long journey, and I'm not sure until when I will arrive in my final destination.

Eventually in the end all I wanted to feel before the glory or a failure of a result  is the process. the "going through" part of the story  which I think is important in making me realize what kind of input I've learned so far or how experience moulds me to become a better individual and the way my perspective change towards responding a certain phenomenon.

beste,

CONFESSION

I will be bold.
I will fix my stupid past decisions.
I will work harder.
I will make better plans.
and I will continue to live up my dreams!

Welcome 2012!! :)
