It's getting colder!

I'm feeling really comfy. The weather has been cold for the late few days. Maybe, it’s not really cold by other countries’ standards, but this is Indonesia, after all.

All the gray, drizzly dreary weather has put me into a very well mood. I'm getting sure ater checking it on my digital thermometer and I found the temperature is about 70 fahrenheit at the current time. I can't hadly wait to leave for Bandung this becoming new year and I suppose it would be even colder!!

Maybe it's a weird thought but yeah there's a sense of hope that there will be an ice rain again in Bandung like what happen in the beginning of the rainy season some months ago, hhehe!!

Aha, the mist is fallin down. Ready to put the sweater on!! ZzzzzZzzzzz!

Merry Christmas

Toughts of An Early Morning

This early morning I read a comment posted by a friend in my blog considering my last desperate post.. Well, I'm quite shocked but in the same time I am thankful that I could realize the remorse for my past conducts and just bare those all as a repentance to the Lord.

To err is human and everybody must fail to be a juster human day bay day. Being just or genuine is not easy as long as we don't want to repent all that's within us to the Lord.

Yes, He already knows what we're going through our life and what we need in our life before we ask Him, but God is looking for the failures and for those who dare to admit it.

Failure is never final!

The Bible makes it clear that heaven will be full of people like you and me -jars of clay. So now, I admit I was failed and I was down and I had made Him down. But seriously, when we call on His name, we see that He is so faithful. We may be down, I may be down, but we'll not out unless we give in to defeat.

"Lord, help me to believe and not to lose hope, even if, after I call on You, my situation seems to go from bad to worse. Amen!"

~ Tyo

That's all that matters!

I started to think to give something back to my friend who gave me that stuff some months ago. I was so thankfully received it as a gesture. But now, I’m not sure about what I have to do! Give it back or keep it?

I appreciate this $100 stuff (it’s not about the price) but I do appreciate the meaning of a good companionship more than an expensive or somewhat wow stuff. Too difficult to be explained yet easy..just feel it!

I'm merely tying to be as simple as possible, as original as possible. Speak and act originally, being just myself.  That’s all that matters!

Two weeks relaxing!!

Been busy. I finally finished the last lecture class in this year.

Actually, I’m quite clueless about what have to write now. I’ve just done my static exam, the final exam that was…, man…I don’t think I did it well. It was better than the mid semester exam though. But I am just unhappy with the abject effort I’ve done. That’s what I think! I should have done it much better! But okay, there’s nothing to sorry about! As the saying goes, let the past go by past!  Hope it wouldn’t be that bad!

Anyway, went forth the ALSI room, I feel like free! I’ve been waiting for the time to loosen up myself from all tension of those engaged days.  I’ve been waiting for the Christmas holiday to come.

I’ll be missing it! The days where I have to walk some 1-2 kms a day, solely in this large college of mine! Well, not really wearing, just tiring :) Hey, I’ll be back, but just after a couple of relaxing week, okay!

Oh ya, we had the Christmas celebration last night just after the exam and thankfully it quite helped me to forget the dud.

The sermon was good but the situation wasn’t really christmasing (It’s Jeremy who told me this word)! But yes I do agree, honestly it wasn’t! Just longing about the sound of Christmas carol with all the feeling inside.

By the way, feelin good to know it’s December and watched the people shaking hands while saying “Merry Christmas”!

Merry Christmasinadvanced!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Today, Mom has turned 48. Firstly, I wanna thank The Almighty God for giving us such this wonderful grace. It’s a blessing knowing that your Mom is still okay and being happy. Now, she is miles away from me, somewhere in the east cost of Sumatra while I’m here in Bandung.

We haven't seen for 2 months, maybe less or more but we constantly burn the phone lines. I longed to hear Mom’s voice as she’s been in Medan for the last 2 months for an intensive medical check up. What could I say since it’s gonna be Christmas and I just can wait ‘till she feel better to take the flight back to Jakarta. I wish she would been home before Christmas's Eve.

"Happy Birthday my Mom and I do want you to know that everything you did touches my heart everyday of my life.

You always help me get through anything.

Your prayers is a blessing.

You always make me realize that life is good.

Your smile brightens my day and you know that!

Mom, I want you to know - I am so blessed that you are my Mommy and Angel and I love you dearly…

Happy Birthday, Mama!" ~TYO

Semoga pedih ini...

Banyak orang2 yang kita jumpai dalam hidup ini. Mereka unik dengan berbagai karakter masing-masing. Ada yang bikin kita seneng, ada pula yang bikin kita jengkel. Ya, itulah hidup. Kita belajar banyak dari semua orang2 yang kita temui. Boleh baik atau ngga, they had just teached us lots of things.

Diluar dari itu semua, I know God had given me lots of amazing people. Gua cuma ngga tau alasan satu hal. Mungkin gua adalah orang yang ga tau balas budi. Mungkin gua terlalu egois.  I treat some of them badly. I just don't wanna do it! Tapi, kenapa gua harus ketemu orang sebaik mereka, sebaik dia. Gua ga bisa menyambut kebaikan itu sebagaimana yang mereka harapkan. Bahkan gua mungkin uda nyakitin hati mereka. Dia ga pantas nerima itu.

Setelah semua yang dilakukannya, semua hal  yang bisa dikatakan perfect, aku hanya membalas dengan kelukaan. Dia pantas mendapatkan lebih daripada itu, mungkin. Tapi aku ga bisa! Don't know what the reason is. Kalo toh emang anugerah adalah sesuatu yang harus disyukuri, jujur  gua bersyukur ketemu orang sebaik itu. Tapi bener2 gua ga tau kenapa gua harus memilih jalan yang nyakitin buat dia. Confuse...!

So, am I that evil? Hati gua juga ga terima dengan kenyataan ini. Gua pengen ga ada kesedihan dan luka. I had just hurt someone's heart. Anyway, I gotta forget it all, either that or I'll be more confuse! God pasti ngerti hati gua. Semua uda terjadi. Semoga pedih ini cuma buat gua, bukan buat dia yang uda terluka.

Back

I haven't been blogging for a long time…. ok,, it’s been two months…! So what have I been up to? Well, while the other students in college were having fun and enjoying their one-month break, I was still ‘playing’ with my lecture books here which…ooough! I took an extra lecture this year!

Hey..hey..hey…,  it’s actually good for me, isn’t it? Yea, we used to complaining about things and works and so and so -rather or often.  Just fine, as long as we are still able to realize those all as our responsibility being a man and a part of the community! Mhh, what do you think?

Well, that’s all I can say for now!

Bintaro...

Kangen negh ama Jakarta. Gak tau..tiba2 aja gua kangen ama polusi dan kebisingan kota ini...dasar freaky!! Jakarta...Jakarta...I'll be back someday to stay

Kalo flashback lagi waktu gua masi di stan..aha...Jakarta siH sahabat sejati gua :)
Minggu malem mo balik ke Jakarta...tapi karena males...ditunda jadi berangkat subuh..haLah..
Cape sih heueuh, tapi ya emang begitulah gua, suka jalan, persis kaya nyokap..haLah!

Jam 4 uda bangun tuh...wuaacch..masi ngantuk sih. Ntu masi mendingan, kadang2 kaga tidur dari malem.. Pikir-pikir ntar aja tidur di bis. Tapi, apa yang terjadi..., bisnya penuh mang. Yang dapet kaki pegel coz diri dari pwk ampe UKI. Biasanya di Jatibening banyak yang turun. Tapi sama saja, wong UKI uda deket :( Uhh, gua juga si yang ga mau ke Oma dulu.. kalo dari Tebet kan gampang tuH. masalanya, kalo di Tebet ya gua maen mulu. Gudangnya game, dasar ne Tulang Sahat..! Hahaha!

Yauda.., back again....

UKI..UKI..UKI...!
Nah, uda nyampe negh. Jalan dah ke belokan yang mo ke Blok M..tau ga lo?? Lumayanlah, masi pagi buta, biasa uda nyampe matahari blom terbit. Tapi teuteup..polusi everywhere....

Ngeliatin Jakarta dari PPD 45 jurusan Blok M. Wah, gua paling suka liat proyek under construction. Maklumlah, cita2 dari dulu emang jadi insinyur teknik sipil.. :)
UKI - MT Haryono - Pierre Tendean - Wortel Mongonsidi (Kuningan) - Blok-M...
Nyampe dah..., benar2 gak bisa dilupain tuh!!

Nah, nungguin Kopaja 613 negh yang bikin annoyed..LAMA!! Biasa kalo ngga dapet gua nyambung2 naek Metro Mini 71 (eh, benar gak win?) nyambung angkot yang di bintaro (lupa gua nomer trayeknya!!). Gak jarang juga buat ngeburu waktu gua kudu jalan lewat SMA 6 ama 70 Bulungan... haLah, jadi pengen ngulangin kejadian tu lagi :)

Blok-M..., wheeew..ramenya sangat. Pagi2 aje orang2 uda pada sibuk...
Kalo dipikir-pikir asyik juga ngerasain kerasnya ibukota. Bayangin, mana ada kaya di bandung. Wong di metro mini uda acak2an lagi, palagi kalo siang2...panas mang!!

Blok-M - Bintaro ngga lama kok, cuma satu jam kurang..haLah!! Iya, satu jam plus macet..entah kapan Jakarta bebas dari prob yang satu ini.. (ntar kita beresin dah!!)

Finally, nyampe juga di Bintaro... Heheheheh, yang kedengeran orang ngomongnye campur2 banget..maklum, Bintaronya bagian belakang, bRo.., banyak betawinye :)

Yo wis, nyampe langsung kuliah. Buru2 negh...!

(Never feel sorry with what had happen with me in the past.. Just look at the positive lesson from it!)

Thank You, Lord!

Hari ini, dalam perjalanan pulang, aku melihat seorang anak kecil berjalan di depanku. Dia bukan seorang anak yang biasa dan normal seperti kebanyakan orang. Dia memiliki tangan yang cacat. Pertumbuhan tangannya tidak sempurna sehingga salah satu tangannya lebih pendek dari yang lainnya. Tidak hanya itu, dia tidak memiliki telapak tangan dengan tangan yang bengkok.

Rasa haru muncul saat melihat anak tersebut. Dia berjalan membawa barang belanjaan yang baru dibelinya dengan langkah ringan. Tak ada beban atau rasa malu yang tampak darinya sekalipun kondisinya tidak sempurna.

Adakah kadang aku mengeluh terhadap keadaan yang kualami atau sesuatu yang ada pada diriku? Maafkan aku, Bapa! Kejadian sore ini mengingatkan kita untuk selalu bersyukur dengan apa yang telah dianugerahkan Tuhan terhadap kita.

Tuhan, ajar aku untuk dapat menggunakan kedua tanganku yang telah Kau ciptakan sempurna untuk perbuatan-perbuatan besar yang Kau inginkan. Ajarkan aku agar dengan kedua tanganku aku dapat membantu orang-orang yang sangat membutuhkan pertolongan. Ajarkan aku dengan kedua tanganku aku dapat menunjukkan Kasih.

Thank You, Lord for creating me perfect as thine image!

Love You Grandpa

This is for Mom!

It fells so sad when we make our parents down. My LORD, forgive me please....

Today is  a bad day for me. I can imagine what I've done toward  Mom. I'm so sorry for all of the things I've done.

Mom, I love you much.I hope what had just happened today doesn't make you sad. I believe that you are the most amazing woman in this world, as everyone thinks the same about their mom. I do realize that you are there to say prayers for me. Your love will never end.

I will always pray for you. May God look after you in every step you make and everything you do. It's not because of the good deeds we do, but because of the faith. As I saw you prayed unto God at night, asking Him to guide us, specially me. Yeah Mom..., I heard unto your prayers... It makes me love you more and more. How wonderful your love oh Mom!! God bless you!

TO DO THE BEST

There's nothing in this world that always run smoothly. Yeah, it's kinda important to be realized. Problems always come and go... It's just a fact of life. Maybe..., would be better if we call it challenge..., yeah.., challenge..not problems. At the time we say it's a challenge, there'll be a kinda brave and desire to pass it through. There's nothing to worry about challenge, moreover for boys.. (aha, I don't mean that girls doesn't thinks the same), but we gotta be strong. Pass it through..., don't care what people say, don't care how big the challenge is, just pass it through. Take it easy to face any obstacles. Be sure, behind the sorrow, there is joy, and behind the failure, there is success.

One important thing, specially for me, an oath to someone that we really love could become a magic weapon to face all problems. Yeah, I will always remember my oath, to my beloved grandpa (RIP), that I must become kinda gud boy and finally good mature man. Let's do our best! Ask the Master's help!
