Nasi Uduk

Warning! If you're hungry, better go find something to eat first than drooling over your laptop/phone/etc lol.


Many things happened today. Like, things that gave me lasting impressions and worth to be remembered.
I called this kind of stuff 'bottle-up moments'.
Because some moments are just too precious, too rare, and if you could just put them all in a bottle, then you could pick one bottle, one memory, from time to time.
Just to remind you how was it back then.

Okay so here they are :

1. Shilton's birthday! YAY!! Legal! Happy birthday once again, Bro!
All the best for your study, your ministry, your relationships with Pricil and friends, and most of all so you experience Jesus deeper in your daily life. So that in everything that you do, you feel God and ppl see Him in you as well.
Keep the fire burning! :P:P

2. Ci Gil's nasi uduk!
Have been drooling over her instagram's pic this morning.
Her mom came and brought this precious little food from Jakarta.
The glorious nasi uduk.
And I first saw it with empty stomach ._. errr
Then after attending the 3rd service in our church, Ci Gil gave Tirza and I one big container full of...
Happiness. Muahaha! It's the nasi uduk. OMG.
That awesome moments when you hit jackpot.
See? You wouldn't know.
How one small thing you do could touch someone's heart (or stomach) so deep.

3. Sharing moments with my bestie! Thanks for hearing me out, like, for every silly details and all the repeated story over the Royal Pudding. Lol.
It's nice to know that you have this kindred spirit that always be there to listen and pray for you.
I'm sosososo grateful and thankful and blessed.
Let's walk together in faith.
I know we'll be okay and, more than okay, we are victors!
Simply because our Father is the one who hold the whole universe and our own little world as well :P
I know someday, soon, we'll be looking back at these moments and said,
"Well. I'm glad THAT happened. So now I....."
Okay, yes, I don't know what the ..... yet, but I know it's something awesome :P:P

You remember I had had dogs.
Sometimes I take them out for a walk nearby my house complex.
I walk in front with the leash in my hand.
But sometimes, through the leash, I can feel that my dog was not following.
I turned around and I saw her sniffing flowers, bushes, poles, even sometimes sniffing other dogs lol lol.
One time she got too busy sniffing here and there, a car almost ran her over.
Luckily I managed to tug her leash and saved her from becoming doggy penyet ._.

Pardon my metaphor.

What I'm trying to say is..
Our life is a longgggggg and winding race
(for those who still 'sleeping' somewhere : YES YOU'RE ON  A RACEEEEEE!! WAKEUPP YOU COUCH POTATO)
Even knowing the fact that there is too little time and so much to do, we still manage to slow down and literally slack.
Many times, during our 'leisurely slacking' moments, we got distracted by the view surrounding us.
We 'sniff' on things that look, well, fun. Nice. Easy.
Why not?
Everybody's doing so as well.
Why shouldn't I?
Well you should ask my dog. Sniffing around is almost caused her fatal damage.
You know that you're life is safe in His hand, right?
Therefore, I believe that what happened to us now is like our leash is being tugged.
Maybe we're wandering to a dangerous place, where you know you shouldn't be there in the first place, but you just can't let it go.
Maybe we tied up to those 'flowers, bushes' too long till we forgot our purpose, and that we should move forward.
Well, then I'm glad that my leash is being tugged.
Because it means I am saved. I am loved. And that there is no place for insecurities.
I would just let go of everything that He wants me to let go and continuing my journey wherever He leads me to.

If only my dog never let her eyes wander and just follow me, she would never had to experienced the near-death moments, wouldn't she?
If only she just ran after me and never sight-see here and there, she would do just fine, right?

Then, that's exactly what I'm going to do.
To never let my eyes wander and just follow Him till the end.


Good night, blessed peeps.

When God Made a Promise

“I know this is too fast. And please don’t ask me why, because I don’t have the answer. I don’t know why.” “I won’t ask you why. Because I know.. It’s God.”   Wkwkwkwkwwkwkwkwkww duh supershy padahal biasanya ga tau malu. I’m still getting used to this. But those who viewed our IG feed and saw the pic posted in FB would know what this is all about. The Promise of God. It’s been there, mentioned the wholeee time in my earlier posts, yet unnamed. I’ll try to recall the whole story. Some details would be lost in translation because there are wayyyy TOO MANY. Haha. Fyi. I’VE BEEN WAITING SOOO LOOOONG TO SHOUT THIS OUT LOUD. So, here goes. Last Sunday, R asked me out to dinner. A few days before, he’s mentioned this fancy place and I calmly (I think) said, “Yes, yes why not” while inside I was [insert screaming emoji here] knowing that this is not a normal dining experience. OMG. I was so glad it’s through a text message, otherwise he would see ...

Luck?

Yellow peeps! Technically, I need to get myself some proper sleep. But then, I just need to share a thing, or two.. or three lolol. Here goes. Yesterday during FA, we were having this sharing session. A dear friend of mine shared how she felt like wasting her time studying for things she doesn't even want to pursue further. I was instantly reminded of another friend of mine who experienced similar thing. She took business instead of early childhood education because her mom told her to do so. Well, I think she was awesome back then. She went through 3 years of tough time, memorizing stuff she'd rather not knowing, but then she made it! And we graduated together, went through tough time of finding a job, and she got one in some kind of financial institution. What's makes it even more awesome, she took some courses that was required from her. She studied even more stuff about finance, going far far away from her early dream. Cut the story sh...

Season of Love

Yellow! Long time no write :P So.. My favorite month just over :(:( Nevermind. Because the best MONTH of the year is coming in another 29 days! Woohoooo! They say December is the season of love. But I'll say.. Well. Maybe I just tell you a story of 2 different people. WARNING . Stories might contain some fiction or non fiction, even a bit of mixed curcol. Okeh. Cerita pertama is about this guy. Udah bertaun-taun dia menjomblo. Mencari tulang rusuk yang rasanya ga ketemu2. Beberapa usaha pedekate sudah dilancarkan ke beberapa sasaran di waktu yang mungkin bersamaan, mungkin pula berbeda. Tapi entah kenapa. It seems smua ikan di laut itu udah nempel di pancingan penjala2 ikan mereka. Mungkin dia butuh lebih daripada sekedar pancing. Mungkin dia butuh jala. Or granat. At least beberapa ikan will come out alive. Even if terumbu2 karang jd korban. Oh well. It seems there's no hope. Jadi dia memutuskan untuk berhenti. Menyerah. Sto...
