Day 13: This 2 Years

There is no any big change I can make in the period of this 2 years. The most substantial of course I could finish my S1 belonging timely. But it is less able to be recognized as a success because until now, I have not found a place that would accept my service in commensurate exchange called a salary.

Maybe I'm too picky. S1 turns out to be an unwritten rule, which I claim myself to be able to get a job that most people called "decent job" for S1. Though there is still no provision for what categories to show a decent profession for S1 too for sure, right? There are, anyway. The dogma from our community! And I've already swallowed it, so be patient with the opportunity to get what is called a proper job is the only thing I can do. Do not want to be a hypocrite as well. I did very little effort.

In this two years, I also began to understand as the name: the treatments that we give to other people, have a major influence on any outcome that we receive from any intention we want to do. So I started to learn to control the nature of my  easily angry. Yes, despite good intentions certainly be an easy target for the devil to ruin. haha. Every time it came for me to do some good intentions, there's always temptation that made me really hard for restrain anger.

Patient.. Patient..
It's my biggest target.

Day 11: It's Not Only a Need, But Love

Another lovely topic for this 30 days blogging challenge by Emotional Flutter. We are asked to make a post about our ideal (I prefer to call it favorite) menus for breakfast, lunch, diner and snacks. I eat not only for the reason of my body need, but I love to. I felt happy every time I was served with so delicious foods. And something I'm proud of myself is it's really rare found leftover on my plate! I can differentiate which food is tasty, but I refuse to use the not-tasty one as an excuse to throw the food to garbage. 

But now I am on on-going OCD, so I do not have breakfast and diner. I still cannot increase my Fasting Hours and stay in my current Eat Window. That's the reason why I am not really breakup with my usual weight, maybe. Lol. But, I love food so much! Happy tummy, happy life! haha.

Note: Images are from Google

Breakfast
For breakfast, I always eat rice. Fried rice and Lontong Sayur (veggie rice cake) will be my favorite. The Lontong Sayur is not a dish you can make in only thirty minutes no matter it's only for a breakfast. You must boil the rice cake at least 8 hours to get the perfect texture. So, buy Lontong Sayur from my favorite lontong sayur seller with her pushed cart is the best option. For the drink, usually I got hot sweet tea but mineral water was the most often.

 

 

Lunch
Everyday I have rice as my main menu for the three-times-eat-a-day, I'm truly Indonesian. Here, you have not eaten if it's not rice. Lol. But, if I was not at home or was deliberately looking for food from the roadside stalls or the lovely traditional cuisines pushed carts, the choice would fall on Ayam Penyet (smashed fried chicken) and Meatball noodle.

Ayam Penyet is Indonesian dish consisting rice, fried chicken which had been smashed to make it softer, fried tempe (soybean cake) and tofu, sliced cucumbers and raw cabbage and long beans with the spicy sambal (condiment) which was made with the mixture of chillis, onions, garlics, tomatoes, belacan (a seasoning made ​​from fermented fish and / or rebon shrimp, shaped like a dough or pasta and coloured black-brown) and lime juice.

For the drinks, the spicy dishes need some sweet and refreshing drink. I'll choose ice young coconut and ice lemon tea. For the ice young coconut, I really love if it was added with kasturi juice and liquid brown sugar.

 
 

Diner
I really like to have Mie Rebus Medan (Medan boiled noodle) and fried Kwetiau for my diner. Back when I was a college student, I and my housemates would walk to Griya to buy Mie Aceh to bring home as our diner. And for the drink, we ordered ice fruit soup. 

 
 

Snacks
I don't really like snacking but I can't resist if you offer me the cup noodle called Pop Mie, chocolate ice cream and Bagelen (bread/bun spread with margarine, sprinkled with granulated sugar and then baked in the oven to dry) from Kartika Sari. haha.



The menus above are not the list I eat everyday. My mother will get mad if I do that unhealthy eating habits. Once in two weeks is enough, I think. *A healthy diet freak will call me crazy*. Lol. My mother serves us daily healthy food for our body. Veggies, fish, meat, or seafood.

Day 10: The Places I Wish To Visit

My house is not that far to a beach. But, to be honest I never see the blue colored water sea which allows me to see the sand through the clear water =(. I never go travelling to some place where I will find that kind of landscape. I still love you, Lestari Indah, by the way. hehe. So, here some places I wish to visit someday.

Note: images are from Google

Dari Sabang sampai Merauke, itu lah Indonesia...
From Sabang to Merauke, that is Indonesia...

Sabang
Beside the beautiful beaches, the other reason why I wish to visit Sabang is to see Indonesia's Monument of Zero Kilometre which is the starting point to measure the width of our beloved country. Sabang is a city located in Weh island. 

 
 

Raja Ampat
Raja Ampat means Four Kings. It's not easy to come to this island, beside preparing a huge amount of money, you must be an educated person to be able to enjoy this heaven on earth. That's according to Sapta Norwandar, Indonesia's Deputy Minister of Tourism and Creative Economy.

The efforts to maintain its sustainability is by restricting the diving activities in Raja Ampat. The reason, the temperature released by the diver's body is feared could damage the coral reefs. That's why Sapta Norwandar told that it must be the qualified and educated people visiting Raja Ampat, so they can understand how to behave, not damage the coral reefs. Source.

 
 

What a random post! This is the result if an amateur must explain something she never see with her own eyes. No matter what, I have filled the Day-10 homework for 30 days blogging challenge. Lol.

“In life, you will realize there is a role for everyone you meet. Some will test you, some will use you, some will love you, and some will teach you.

Day 8: A Love Letter


                                                                                        To: You ♥

I don't know how to call this a secret or a mystery
by God having sent me into your life.
Since my first time presence in your days,
I'm sure you had designed so many beautiful dreams and hopes.
I really feel blessed for that.

Your sincerity, warmth, 
and everything you had given, gives and will give to me.
Even if I have enough power to chase the whole people
away from this world
and put it to your hands,
I will never be able to repay you.

But, time by time,
It's looked like I start to make you think
why it is not going as your expectation.
I change, 
but you are still the same.

I make thousands mistakes,
you give millions forgiveness.
Please, let me be a little more greedier.
I hope you will be the same,
keep holding my hands.

Don't let me move out of range of your heart,
as you always say,
there's my name in every time you pray.

                                                                              You, Mom and Dad
                                                                                           I Love you

Day 7: If I Were A Time Traveller

Yesterday is history,
tomorrow is mystery,
today is gift.


It's like a backfire when I put "Time Traveller" in the polling section though I knew people MUST be choosing that option. But it's the consequence. I must write a post under that theme. Please take a note that it is only for fun. It's not something which I really hope it will happen to be real. As a Muslim, I believe in the strict prohibition of someone to be a daydreamer. "If only I trust her", "If only I did what she said", "If only I were the deceased Princess Diana's only daughter". Lol.

Time Traveller here is not like something we usually see Doraemon did with his time machine which could bring him and his friends, to go around the world. Like from Japan to hundreds years ago somewhere in Egypt. It 'limits' to the time since I was born and the places I have ever been in.

1. When I was a 6-or-7-months-old baby

I was born in a government-owned cocoa plantation and it was an incident in baby daycare where the parents in the plantation housing entrusted their children in when they were working.

My mom retailed:
When my mother came to the daycare to pick me up, the nanny innocently told her that she was confused why I cried. When my mother saw my condition, she was shocked for what had happened. I sobbed and there were some bite marks on my body. And it's predicted I'd cried for hours.

It turned out the other baby in the daycare who bite me. The nanny who was responsible to make everything under control asked my mother to resolve it amicably but she firmly refused that. She instead asked my father to complain the problem to the supervisor to discharge the nanny. Because the nanny left the babies and she was back to her home to do her personal activity. And it's true. According to my mother, the nanny never back to work in the daycare until her retirement.

The reason I 'want' to be back to that time is not because I want to sue her as the young adult version of the victim baby. Lol. But I 'want' to see how the bite process. Lol. Because my mother added that the incident had caused some hearsay the baby bite me was experiencing demonic possession. Once again, according to what my mother said, it's too hard to believe when seen from the bite marks, they were done by a baby. It's not only one bite mark but there were several which my mother called 'many'.

2.  When everything was 100 times cheaper

Have your parents or someone told you that an amount of money at this time which can only buy one kind stuff, could be used to buy so many stuffs 20 years ago? Yes!! I 'want' to be back to the time where I could buy tens of grams of gold with my weekly pocket money and bring them back. Lol.

Day 6: What I'm Afraid of

Everybody must be having several things scaring them. It includes me and because I'm human, I think it is not a big matter if I have some fears.

1.  Darkness

Oh my! I can not explain how big my fear to this scary moment is. If many of you will not be able to sleep if the lamp is turning on, I am in the opposite side. I can not sleep in a dark room. That's why when I was sleeping and the power outage was happened, I would wake up in a sudden, anxiously searching my phone to get its light.

It's better if I immediately realized to grope my bed to hold the phone. Because several years ago, I would scream to call my parents to 'help' me. Slept without preparing the charged lamp which had been  positioned at the closest place from me was a big mistake! 

Ever at one night when the power outage suddenly happened. The anxiety attacked me and I forgot which bed side that could be the way to get my feet out of it. I instead reach the bed side against the wall and stupidly I pushed the wall, cried, frustrated. 

Tried to calm down, then I turned my body to find the opposite side and I walked in the dark by holding the wall, very slowly, to reach the bathroom where I called my parents whose bedroom was next to mine. And a tiny speck of light would be my savior.

2.  High Speed

Boy, politely I tell you. If your ideal date is playing and having fun in the amusement park with its killing rides, it's better for me to be honest to you: just leave me! That's all. Full stop.

Day 5: The Beach

It just takes less than 30 minutes to reach a beach from my house. There are several managers in that beach which make it has so many names. The brand new favorite one is Sri Mersing. Compare to others, Sri Mersing is the most distant and it's such a benefit for me. Less visitors = less waste.

 
 

I and my family sometime spent the afternoon quality time in the beach just to have some feet bath or if the weather is nice and the water is kinda teasing, we will swim. My parents also like to chat with the fishermen and buyt their fresh fish.

And also I and my best neighbor girls concurrently my best friends always have at least every once a week (if Molida is here) to chill out there and sometime we swim like it's our private beach. Because we usually come in the afternoon when the visitors had been out of there. And we can drive our motorcycles just to have girl's chatting by sitting on the swings there.

Day 4: Those 5 Lucky Stars

Seriously I never be a fan. Too many people admire a bunch of people with certain abilities and talents what they called idols nowadays. They are very fond of what their idols did, follow what they wear and make it a trend. They kinda faith, too.

I myself sometimes like them; some people with certain talents. But I'd rather use 'favourite' instead of 'idolize'. I follow news about them but it doesn't affect my emotion. They are happy, I felt it's nice to see others' happiness. They stricken by some big problems, oh, hopefully they can solve them. They made hits, I think the hard efforts were worth it. If they were failed, I think they should practice more.

But that's not because I 'favourite' them, but it's just a human nature in me. That's the same feeling I gave to common people around me. And never hope I'll be as faith as those fans. Because I won't.

So here they are the 5 lucky stars. Lol.

1.  Ralph Fiennes

How can this handsome man had been being that ugly He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named Voldemort, the leader of Death Eaters? But the You-Know-Who was a great role. He was not too often appeared but just mentioning his name could appall people in Hogwarts.



2.  Vin Diesel

Saving Private Ryan, The Fast and The Furious and xXx sequels. But I like him the most in The Pacifier where he must be a babysitter for the Plummer kids. Lol.



3.  Wallace Huo 

I knew him when one private TV channel in this country aired At The Dolphin Bay where he gave a role as Xiao Gang, a music director and another TV channel aired 100% Senorita where he was as Wei Xiang who must find the girl he loved whose face had facelift by a madman and her identical twin sister could not change his feeling.


4.  Belinda Peregrín Schüll

It was a telenovela which made me and so many elementary school-ers at that time were very excited to wait the school ended. We rushed to go home and bring the lunch to eat in front of TV. It was ¡Amigos X Siempre! I love Ana Capistrán Vidal, a role by her in ¡Amigos X Siempre!. Her smile + her beautiful clear eyes = girl's envy.

  

5.  Anna Maria Orozco

You know Betty La Fea, right? I like her character in that telenovela. A story of an ugly woman ended by a happy ending with the perfect guy. Even the opening soundtrack was very entertaining.

Day 3: Shuffle Mode: On

 Yo Te Amo by Chayanne

First time for me to listen to this music was almost more than 10 years ago when it was being the soundtrack of Meteor Garden 2. I'm not sure if teenagers nowadays know what Meteor Garden is. Lol. It's my first Spanish song ever. I never find another Latin song because it's not so popular here in our country.

En palabras simples y comunes yo te extrao
En lenguaje terrenal mi vida eres tu
En total simplicidad seria yo te amo
Y en un trozo de poesia tu seras mi luz, mi bien
El espacio donde me alimento de tu piel que es bondad
La fuerza que me mueve dentro para recomenzar
Y en tu cuerpo encontrar la paz

Si la vida me permite a lado tuyo
Creceran mis ilusiones no lo dudo
Y si la vida la perdiera un instante
Que me llene de ti
Para amar despues de amarte…vida

No tengas miedos ni dudas
(choro) este amor es demasiado bueno
Que tu seras mi mujer
(choro) yo te pertenezco todo entero
Mira mi pecho, lo dejo abierto
Para que vivas en el

Para tu tranquilidad me tienes en tus manos
Para mi debilidad la nica eres tu
Al final tan solo se que siempre te he esperado
Y que llegas a mi vida
Y tu me das la luz del bien
Ese mundo donde tus palabras hacen su voluntad
La magia de este sentimiento que es tan fuerte y total
Y tus ojos que son mi paz

Si la vida me permite a lado tuyo
Creceran mis ilusiones no lo dudo
Si la vida la perdiera en un instante
Que me llene de ti para amar despues de amarte…vida

No tengas miedos ni dudas
(choro) este amor es demasiado bueno
Que tu seras mi mujer
(choro) yo te pertenezco todo entero
Mira mi pecho lo dejo abierto
Para que vivas en el


 25 Minutes by Michael Learns To Rock

Can't you feel how sad is that? You search someone to confess your love to but it turned out the person was standing in front of a place which you never think she/he would stand there, soon entered the marriage altar.

After some time
I've finally made up my mind
She is the girl and I really want to make her mine
I'm searching everywhere to find her again
To tell her I love her
And I'm sorry 'bout the things I've done

I find her standing in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn't search
She looks so happy in her weddingdress
But she's crying while she's saying this

[Chorus:]
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are
Twentyfive minutes too late

Against the wind I'm going home again
Wishing me back to the time when we were more than friends

But still I see her in front of the church
The only place in town where I didn't search
She looked so happy in her weddingdress
But she cried while she was saying this

[Chorus:]
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are
Twentyfive minutes too late

Out in the streets
Places where hungry hearts have nothing to eat
Inside my head
Still I can hear the words she said

[Chorus:]
Boy I've missed your kisses all the time but this is
Twentyfive minutes too late
Though you travelled so far boy I'm sorry your are
Twentyfive minutes too late

I can still hear her say.......


 First Love by Utada Hikaru

I just think it is an old yet sweet song.


Saigo no kisu wa
Tabako no flavor ga shita
Nigakute setsunai kaori

Ashita no imagoro ni wa
Anata wa doko ni iru n’ darou
Dare wo omotte ‘ru n’ darou

You are always gonna be my love
Itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo
I’ll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made

Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugoki-dasou to shite ‘ru
Wasuretaku nai koto bakari
Ashita no imagoro ni wa
Watashi wa kitto naite ‘ru
Anata wo omotte ‘ru n’ darou

You will always be inside my heart
Itsu mo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made

You are always gonna be my love
Itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo
I’ll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made


 Perfect by Simple Plan

I have a very warm father-daughter relationship though there is almost everything we will debate about. I am a hot temper and luckily my dad is an extremely patient person. But it is a good thing I think, for me to think if I grow up according to the plan or not. Do I, dad?

Hey, Dad, look at me
Think back, and talk to me
Did I grow up according to plan?
And do you think I'm wasting my time
Doing things I want to do?
But it hurts when you disapproved all along
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for
You can't pretend that I'm alright
And you can't change me

[Chorus]
'Cause we lost it all
Nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

I try not to think
About the pain I feel inside
Did you know you used to be my hero?
All the days you spent with me
Now seem so far away
And it feels like you don't care any more
And now I try hard to make it
I just want to make you proud
I'm never gonna be good enough for you 
I can't stand another fight
And nothing's all right

'Cause we lost it all
And nothin' lasts forever
I'm sorry I can't be perfect
Now it's just too late
And we can't go back
I'm sorry I can't be perfect

Nothing's gonna change the things that you said
And nothing's gonna make this right again
Please don't turn your back
I can't believe it's hard just to talk to you
But you don't understand

 Konayuki by Remioromen

My friend told this is a noisy song. Lol. But I love it. It's just about the language incomprehension maybe. I knew this song from 1 Litre no Namida or Diary of Aya Kito.

Konayuki mau kisetsu wa itsumo sure chigai
Hitogomi ni magirete mo onaji sora miteru no ni
Kaze ni fukarete nita you ni kogoeru no ni

Boku wa kimi no subete nado shitte wa inai darou
Soredemo ichi oku nin kara kimi wo mitsuketa yo
Konkyo wa naikedo honki de omotterunda

Sasaina ii aimo nakute
Onaji jikan wo ikite nado ike nai
Sunao ni nare nai nara
Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo munashii dake

Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
Futari no kodoku wo wake au koto ga dekita no kai

Boku wa kimi no kokoro ni mimi wo oshi atete
Sono koe no suru hou he sutto fukaku made
Orite yukitai soko de mou ichi do aou

Wakari aitai nante
Uwabe wo nadete itano wa boku no hou
Kimi no kajikanda te mo nigirishimeru
Koto dakede tsunagatteta no ni

Konayuki nee eien wo mae ni amari ni moroku
Zara tsuku ASUFARUTO no ue shimi ni natte yuku yo

Konayuki nee toki ni tayori naku kokoro wa yureru
Soredemo boku wa kimi no koto mamori tsuduketai

Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
Futari no kodoku wo tsutsunde sora ni kaesu kara

 This Land is Mind by Dido

It's one single from Dido's studio album, Life for Rent. 

From behind these walls I hear your song
Oh, sweet words
The music that you play lights up my world
The sweetest that I’ve heard
Could it be that I’ve been touched and turned
Oh Lord, please finally…finally things are changing

[Chorus:]
This land is mine but I’ll let you rule
I let you navigate and demand
Just as long as you know…this land is mine
So find your home and settle in
Ohhh, I’m ready to let you in
Just as long as we know…this land is mine

After all the battles and the wars
The scars and loss
I’m still the queen of my domain
and feeling stronger now
The walls are down a little more each day
Since you came, finally…finally things are changing

[Chorus]

Follow the days I’ve travelled alone
In this cold and colorless place till now
It’s what I had to pay

[Chorus]

This land is mine and I let you rule
I let you navigate on demand
Just as long as you know…this land is mine


 Makna Cinta by Bram

This order is only the matter of number. So don't ask me why I put the song from my own country in the last second position. Lol. This HTML code thingy is too complicated and I'm too lazy to remodel the sequence.

It's about someone who tries to find the meaning of love. When he was a kid, his mother told that love was parents' affectionate to their kids. When he started growing up, his friends told him that love was the affection between two humans (man and woman). Finally he knows that he will never know what love is till he goes through it.

Saat kecil ku pernah bertanya
Tentang arti cinta pada bunda
Bunda pun menjawab
Cinta adalah kasih sayang induk dan anaknya

Saat ku mulai beranjak dewasa
Pada sahabat ku pun bertanya
Dia pun menjawab
Cinta adalah kasih sayang dua insan manusia

Adakah yang mampu menjawab
Makna cinta yang slalu kutanyakan
Mereka yang terjerat rasa cinta
Matanya pendarkan cahaya suka dan duka

Ku trus mencoba tuk bertanya
Walau kini ku terjerat cinta
Mungkin tak terjawab dengan kata
Mungkin cinta hanya tuk dirasa

Adakah yang mampu menjawab
Makna cinta yang slalu kutanyakan
Mereka yang terjerat rasa cinta
Matanya pendarkan cahaya suka dan duka

Suka duka akan mewarnai cinta
Yang menyatukan dua insan berbeda
Mungkin takkan kutemukan makna cinta
Sebelum ku menjalaninya

 Dance With My Father by Luther Vandross

Back when I was a child
Before life removed all the innocence
My father would lift me high
And dance with my mother and me
And then
Spin me around 'till I fell asleep
Then up the stairs he would carry me
And I knew for sure
I was loved

If I could get another chance
Another walk
Another dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
How I'd love love love
To dance with my father again

When I and my mother
Would disagree
To get my way I would run
From her to him
He'd make me laugh just to comfort me
yeah yeah
Then finally make me do
Just what my mama said
Later that night when I was asleep
He left a dollar under my sheet
Never dreamed that he
Would be gone from me

If I could steal one final glance
One final step
One final dance with him
I'd play a song that would never ever end
Cause I'd love love love to
Dance with my father again

Sometimes I'd listen outside her door
And I'd hear how mama would cry for him
I'd pray for her even more than me
I'd pray for her even more than me

I know I'm praying for much to much
But could you send back
The only man she loved
I know you don't do it usually
But Dear Lord
She's dying to dance with my father again

Every night I fall asleep
And this is all I ever dream Sebelum ku menjalaninya

Day 2: What People Call Hobby


I had had this hobby since I was a junior high. The regular activity for pleasure in my leisure. Game playing! I do not know how I love those games played through this rectangular screen. It started by what I call the ancestor of PC game Tetris (based on my age)Lol. And Zuma. Do not tell me if any one of you who do not know those two games. And I think Zuma is the pioneer for those three-same-colors-or-shape-then-crash games.

But the ancient game which made me so addictive was Tumble Pop, a game from Japan released in 1991. Just one year after my birth. I only know if my brother went out of his bedroom, I would sneak into there and turn the computer on to play as a ghost-buster who could suck monster with the vacuum-cleaner-like devices and spit them back in a bouncing / rolling ball.


But I had switched my favorite game genre from arcade to hidden object games. Oh my! I love this kind of game. I feel like watching a movie or it is more precisely that I role as the main character. Solving the puzzles, find the relation between one scene to another, and of course the interesting narrations among them. Not to mention if they were presented by great designs. Lovable!

I found something interesting when played Snark Busters: Welcome To The Club, when Kira Robertson sneaked into someone's office, she needed to open the protected-by-code safe and she used a stethoscope to hear the click sound. Because there would be click sound if she spin to the right number. But it was needed to find the whole right numbers in a row or if not, started again. And I found this thingy when watching That Winter, The Wind Blows. Lol.


That's my hobby. I have another but no one is bigger than this.
