18Jan2012

This might be one of the best days in 2012. I left the office on time, when the sky was still bright. Something I never had earlier in 2012.

I went shopping with my sister, spent some time in the dressing room, leaving the other shoppers waiting outside our door :) We had a light meal, one of my favorites, okonomiyaki and takoyaki. After, we went to Giant and shop all the things needed and wanted. Dropped a bottle of UC-1000 on the floor and left it unpaid after calling the janitor. Sorry! :(

Going home after redeeming our shopping slip with two tiny jars from the mall management, I got to spoil myself with a full body treatment. Quite a luxury I didn't have within the last 2 weeks.

This is a happy day for me. How's yours?

New year, new hope

But one needn't to wait the new year to have a new hope. 

Have hope, have faith. 

Embrace your every moment. 

Enjoy the present.

Good news, bad news

We'd always be expecting for the good news, not for the good bad one.

Well, today I got a great one. Secret project in progress. Yaay.. Can't wait for the next Monday to get my special something for a special surprise for my special someone :*
I'll write here when the time has come.

I also got a not-so-good one. So, there's this someone who's been missing for quite some time and today I heard that she's actually on vacation now. Well, it's been bad before, and it's not going to get better I think.

Not that I don't care about her. I tried to talk to her but she didn't respond. I just don't know how to help her if she didn't even talk to me, right?

Yes, I'm making excuses. But I think she should've been mature enough to know about good/bad, and her attitude for the last 2 months has not been a good one.

Grandma's birthday

Today's Grandma's birthday! We had a meal in Telaga resto in Modernland Tangerang.

My wish for Grandma: wish you live a long life, health and wealth, wisdom and compassion and all the good qualities.

The food's okay but nothing special. The great thing is meeting the big family. You might not know it, but my big family is real BIG one ;)

Here's some pics..

26 before 27

Prologue: today I'm officially 26yo +1month and I just make time to post this here. This happened to be my birthday contemplation and resolution.

--

Accidentally I found this journal, which I have been abandoning since new year. I got this list: 25 before 26, which consists of 25 things to be completed before I turned 26 (though it actually consisted of 6 things so far) and guess what, I haven't done even ONE of them. So sad, because I turned 26, like 3 days ago!

So, now I'll write another list of 26  before 27.

Fixing things

Put "commitment", "attitude", and "performance management" in one conversation with a mad staff and it will be rage.

Once again - God, give me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Please.

I think I just want everyone to try again and I would just hope for everyone's clear mind on this. Have a great day :)

I owe this

Tentang asa dan saya

Harta yg hilang tidaklah mengapa, asalkan asa tidaklah patah. 

Tahukah kamu, mungkin kita tak punya kuasa untuk menghindari kehilangan harta, tapi asa adalah api di dalam jiwa. Jagalah ia menjalani hari dan memutar kembali roda kehidupan. 

Karmaku, karmamu, karma kita semua, membawa kita pada situasi yang sama. Kehilangan. Harta. Tapi. Bukan. Asa. 

Ini pilihan. 

Dan. Saya. memilih. Untuk. Kembali. Melangkahkan. Kaki. 

Sekian.
