..my battle stance..

Another food poisoning episode, this time thanks to the shop with pink hog sign, but you gotta try it if you are back in jakarta, its a nice place selling balinese babi guling at gading. thanks God i recovered in time for makassar trip, we didnt have enough time to go to Tana Toraja this time, but i will be back to the island for manado next time ^^ its great though to see the other part of our beautiful country will upload the pics once i got it from ata and vosie didnt use my own digicam. just realised that my PR is due for renewal next year. i dunno if this is another gut feeling, premonition, or God's voice.. but next year.. i feel there will be a big change in my life direction. there is a feeling that i will be back for good hah. but if it's up to me, i am saying that.. I will be off to another country ;) and if its really up to me to choose.. Nippon it is!! Had a dinner with Via last nite. Met her mum as well. She must find it amusing, pursued her first daughter twelve y

So this week's theme has been 'surprise'. I booked my tic wrongly, and supposedly fly to jakarta yesterday, which mean I would have missed Unplugged, our YRC Sunday special service that I have been eagerly anticipating. I really hoped that somehow, there was something, like a deal to be closed, that would give me reason to cancel my flight. So everytime someone asked me when my flight was, I told them that it's on Sat, UNLESS there is surprise. But till Saturday morning the surprise never came, till 14.20 pm, 30 mins before my departure, and there I was, staring at the departure board saying that the gate was closed, I missed it. That is like.. my first time missing flight. But that was truly a blessing in disguise. Coz God let me meet with the crew who told me to come the next day, and they will let me fly without rebooking and at no extra charge. They call that 'Go Show'. New words ;) Woah.. I got my wishes.. in the most surprising way, No wonder He calls hims

Yaa haa.. another PASSED, thanks God!! It just feels good to pass exams, especially for this one coz I was struggling with the sample questions. But thanks God, the exam itself was not that hard. And having heard from a friend how he got his scholarship for MBA in JAPAN , I am now also INSPIRED to take GMAT and also apply for MBA there ^^ He got into an international univ that speaks English, and the scholarship value is $100,000 USD for 2 years. WOahh.. seeing the zeros, want to faint oredi. And the fact that it's JAPAN, oh gosh.. scholarship plus good money plus chance of finding a wife .. hmm.. this is too good to be true. So my friend, Congrats! God is good ya. Anyway.. Went to see Caeli for my haircut. A not very good reminder of whatever it is. Next... Chance is, tomorrow I am flying off to Jakarta, on a mission to attend Iwan's wedding at makasar. So 2008 really turns out to be a year full of trips. And it's kinda exciting to be going to a new place. My mum dreamed f

To be indecisive and easily influenced is not good, but all the same, it's not really wise to be stubborn as well. If.. I mean IF.. you really want to be stubborn, at least make sure you know you got it right. But which of us is wise enough to always got it right? The safest bet to make, sometimes, is to just stay silent. When you are not sure, just stay silent, and analyse everything. Yes.. observe and analyse. Instead of shooting off your bullets and hitting nowhere, it's better to observe in silence, you will understand more that way. the proverbs say that in many words, there are many mistakes. so once again, unless you know for sure that you are right, say less. read and listen more. you can always throw out the food that goes into your mouth, if the taste is not right. but how do you take back the word that goes out from your mouth, if the word is not right.

Last week was a week full of sweet surprises and free gifts. First to come was ipod Nano. Before last week, the best lucky draw I got, I think, was movie tics. I bought ipod nano myself last year but it's now missing.. hidden in one of those boxes at the store room I hope. So God has been really nice.. He gave me a newer ipod nano that plays video. Cool ;) And then there were movie tics as well. I have not won the contests at moviexclusive.com for sometime but this time, I won it for a movie that I was really keen to watch. So that's a double. Wonderful ;) And then of course, the best of all.. is the one that is neither paid nor competed. Supernatural experience with the Holy Spirit. I have heard so so many beautiful stories of how my church friends were touched by the Holy Spirit. It's just amazing. And that's a superb hat-trick. So what we need now is... a vigilant heart to keep the fire burning. Coz all those experiences count for nothing if we ain't get moving.

A beautiful movie. Another good performance by Takeshi Kaneshiro. I don't understand how there could be a guy as fine as him. I like the plot, very much predictable but the way it jumps from one era to another is nice. And the part where the two characters were finally reunited. "We meet again." said the shinigami. As the sky turns blue, and the rain stopped for the first time, the lady smiled. Not necessarily a movie with some striking points but overall.. a movie that I love to watch.

Ever... It's an experience somewhat similar to, slowly eating cream puff during a lazy dreamy afternoon. letting your mind flow freely, pondering if love tastes as sweet.. wondering if the beautiful lady sitting next to you is attached.. and tomorrow? who knows.. you would then simply close your eyes and smile lazily, contently..

First Kiss OP Kokoro by Oda Kazumasa Zettai Kareshi ED Okaeri (Marco Polo's favorite word, peace devv ^^) by Ayaka Last Friends OP Prisoner of Love by Utada Hikaru

I am currently watching at least three j-doramas. First Kiss - a story about 20 years old girl who suffers from chronic illness and is spending her possibly last summer with her beloved onii-chan. touching at times. Absolute Boyfriend - this one is funny. A girl find herself presented with a robot which is programmed to be her ideal lover. the story will develop into love triangle between the girl, her boss (i like this actor), and the er.. robot. Last Friends - somewhat like the legendary dorama 'Ordinary People'. with issue of gays, abusive boyfriend, and other mature theme that are not common in dorama. Not really a comedy, more of friendship and love. If you have time for only one dorama, maybe you should pick 'Last Friends'. If you like Nodame, you should watch her in this one. The dorama is definitely not for under 18 heh. But I am suspecting it to be one of the more memorable ones.

sesak hangat sore, kamar dan ranjang dan tubuh mu, terbaring sederhana, seakan selalu disana mungkin ditutup saja pintu itu, biar tak kupandang dan tak ku pilu tapi cinta ini lupa berhenti, lupa bagaimana cara nya mati. dan sebentar lagi, takkan lagi kau disini, takkan terbaring disana, cinta ini.. bagaimana?

When I was 14, my teacher told me that my poem was of Primary School standard. Then I learned from a friend that in order to write good poem, you must either have the talent, or you have the right heart. because poem is not just about putting together beautiful words, and make them rhymes. good poem evokes emotion, even if it uses rude and simple or even weird words. Few years later, I found myself writing better poem. That friend, the brave little Julius, had passed away by then. And for several years I thought I was becoming good in this. But then I met people like Vivy, Iot, and Linda, and they remind me of the definition of good poem. They are like my good old friend. So I realised that I was never too good with poem after all, though once in a blue moon i felt i write some better ones. When I got the right heart. But for the last 2 years.. I have not been able to write anything good. Because I have also lost the heart. I can still put together nice words that rhymes, I guess. But
