Good...bye...

Beberapa jam sebelum malam yang paling saya benci dalam setahun. Malam tahun baru. Cuma suka kembang api-nya aja, sisanya nggak bikin saya nyaman.

Agak gimana gitu, menutup 2012 dengan jadi perempuan yang tiba-tiba sentimentil dan gampang nangis. Padahal biasanya kalau disuruh nangis atau emang terluka banget, teteup susaaaaaahhhh nangis... Eh, ini tiba-tiba jadi sensitif tingkat akut. Ga papa lah, nikmatin aja asinnya si air mata. Hehe...

Kalau 2011 adalah tahun hancur-hancuran dan berusaha banget untuk bangkit, maka 2012 ini bisa saya simpulkan tahunnya: belajar BERSYUKUR. 

Memang masih belajar untuk SABAR dan IKHLAS, tapi 'tamparannya' lebih ke -->> ayo bersyukur.

Alhamdulillah...
>> Selalu punya keluarga dan sahabat yang tetap sayang walau saya-nya lagi agak-agak kacau. Walau kadang dipeluk, kadang diomelin kenceng, itu karena semua peduli sama saya.

>> Bisa bikin cake mahal walaupun sekarang kayaknya udah lupa caranya :D
>> Punya ponakan beneran.

>> Beli pocket camera baru.

>> Jadi pembicara lagi, setelah 2 tahun nggak ngomong di depan banyak orang, dan kali ini jadi pembicaranya buat ngomongin soal humas, bukan motivating orang lain

>> Weekend-an di Dieng dan dapat beberapa kenalan

>> Trip 9 hari ke China bareng Shima  

>> Akhirnya setelah 2 tahun 11 bulan, diangkat jadi PNS

>> Akhirnya beli hp android setelah si bb jadi gembel

>> Nemu akun twitternya @BonsaiSky dan @IslamicThinking yang bikin saya merasa 'nggak diadili' tapi 'disayangi'

Masih harus belajar:

>> Menahan diri dari curiosity terhadap urusan orang lain, terutama urusan dia-dia yang bikin hati jadi nggak karuan (well, untung ubersocial di bb punya opsi mute, dan tweetcaster di android punya zip. Tinggal menguatkan hati agar lapang dan ikhlas untuk nggak mengusik ketenangan diri:), which is ini agak-agak susah ya). Eh, recent updates di bb apa kabar ya? Ah, sudahlah :))))

>> Menghargai dan menilai diri sendiri secara positif. Nggak membanding-bandingkan diri dengan orang lain. Belajar lebih percaya diri.

>> To have more faith, put a trust and listen more
>> Fokus, hidup di sini-kini... Living in a moment gitu...

Untuk 2013

Sebuah rencana lama yang pada akhirnya malah hampir terealisasi secara impulsif, tapi saat ini paling kelihatan di depan mata. Kalau kemarin sudah ke Asia Timur, semoga kali ini lancar semua rencana ke Asia Barat-nya. Semoga surat cuti-nya cepat keluar. Semoga badannya sehat. Semoga bisa bikin hidup saya lebih bermakna. Semoga ketemu jalan baiknya. Semoga nggak nyusruk ke lubang yang sama lagi di 2013 ini.

Buat orang-orang yang masih dan akan tetap ada untuk menguatkan, semoga diberi-Nya kebaikan berlipat. Yang mampir tanpa diharapkan atau yang ngasih kejutan di perjalanan 2012 saya, makasih juga. Lesson learned kok:)

Buat harapan-harapan baik.... Aamiin

Buat semua tantangan yang muncul, mohon dikuatkan Ya Rabb...

A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do

Eliminate what is needed to be eliminated

Forgive who is needed to be forgiven

Forget what doesn't need to be remembered

Smile and heads up

Have a faith...

"Selalu ada jalan, kalau kita mau jalan"

Sparkling Eyes

They say my eyes seem to sparkle everytime I talked about it. Well, I think the combination between smile and tears make it that way

Mean Moms

 Copy-paste lines yang bagus, yang cocok buat Hari Ibu-an... Happy Mother's Day ya Ibuuu...

Someday when my children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates a parent,
I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me:
‘I loved you enough to ask where you were going,
with whom, and what time you would be home.

I loved you enough to be silent and let you
discover that your new best friend was a creep.

I loved you enough to stand over you for
two hours while you cleaned your room,
a job that should have taken 15 minutes.

I loved you enough to let you see anger,
disappointment, and tears in my eyes.

Children must learn that their parents aren’t perfect..

I loved you enough to let you assume the
responsibility for your actions even when the
penalties were so harsh they almost broke my heart.

But most of all, I loved you enough to say
NO when I knew you would hate me for it.

Those were the most difficult battles of all.
I’m glad I won them, because in the end you won, too.
And someday when your children are old enough to
understand the logic that motivates parents, you will tell them.

Was your Mom mean?

I know mine was.
We had the meanest mother in the whole world!
While other kids ate candy for breakfast,
we had to have cereal, eggs, and toast.

When others had a Coca Cola and chips for lunch,
we had to eat home cooked meals.

And you can guess our mother fixed us a dinner that was
different from what other kids had, too.

Mother insisted on knowing where we were at all times.
You’d think we were convicts in a prison.

She had to know who our friends were
and what we were doing with them.
She insisted that if we said we
would be gone for an hour, we would be gone for an hour or less.

We were ashamed to admit it,
but she had the nerve to break
the Child Labor Laws by making us work.

We had to wash the dishes, make the beds,
learn to cook, vacuum the floor, do laundry,
empty the trash and all sorts of cruel
jobs.
I think she would lie awake at night
thinking of more things for us to do.

She always insisted on us telling the truth,
the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
By the time we were teenagers,
she could read our minds
and had eyes in the back of her head.
Then, life was really tough!

Mother wouldn’t let our friends just hoot at the gate
when they drove up
They had to come up to the door
so she could meet them.


Because of our mother we missed out
on lots of things other kids experienced.

None of us have ever
been caught shoplifting, vandalizing other people’s
property or ever arrested for any crime.
It was all her fault.

Now that we have left home, we are all educated, honest adults.
We are doing our best to be mean parents just like Mom was.

I think that is what’s wrong with the world today.
It just doesn’t have enough mean moms!’

PASS THIS ON TO ALL THE MEAN MOTHERS YOU KNOW.
(And Their Kids)

The Script #3

Lagi seneng dengerin album ini. Terutama yang Hall of Fame, bikin semangat maaakkkk....


Don't wait for luck
Dedicate yourself and you can find yourself
Standing in the hall of fame (yeah)
And the world's gonna know your name (yeah)
Cause you burn with the brightest flame (yeah)
And the world's gonna know your name (yeah)
And you'll be on the walls of the hall of fame
