"Miss.. Miss...."
"Yes, Jazlyn?"
"I have a four cars at home."
"Oh. OK."
(we were talking about different kind of vehicles that day, plane, ship, car are among them)
then she went back to her book and did what she'd been told to.
a few seconds later,
"Miss.. Miss.."
"Yes, Jazlyn?"
"I have a fish. A fish and a fish. Fish-fish."
(please try to think in Indonesian to get this one)
"You mean, you have many fishes?"
"Yes."
"Wow. Tell me about them."
"Yes. But the fish don't can't eat."
"What? Are they OK?"
"No. They are OK."
(trying not to laugh)
"So what happened? Did you try to feed them though?"
"Yes. But they just hide. They hide behind the ... ummm......"
(can't find the words she's going to use)
"But they're gonna be dead soon if you can't make them eat."
"Yes."
and again, she just went back writing and drawing on her book.
Poking me with her small little finger, she began to talk to me again.
"Miss.. I have a mango tree in my house."
"Yeah? Is it big?"
"Yes. It is big and tall."
"Have you ever eaten the mangoes?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because the mangoes are on the tree."
(again, trying not to laugh and told her to back to work)
It's their innocence that keeps me going... :)

YEMIMA
| What Yemima Means |
 You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising. You may miss out by not settling down, but you're too busy having fun to care. You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone. You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together. At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together. You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated. You master any and all skills easily. You don't have to work hard for what you want. You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you'll knock down anyone who gets in your way! You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing. You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long. You have the drive to accomplish a lot in a short amount of time. Your biggest problem is making sure you finish the projects you start. You are usually the best at everything ... you strive for perfection. You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive. You have the classic “Type A” personality. |

Good Things Happened
1. Obama won. I've always liked him. Will he do anything with the visa settlement for Indonesians though?
2. Someone just got a straight A's after putting up the target for these last 7 years.
*I just realized how happy I am for you*
3. Work is great and very enjoyable.
4. I will have a 2 weeks Christmas holiday soon.
*Can't wait!*
5. I just put some noticeable amount (quite an achievement for me) into my saving account.
6. I got some more job. Which means more income. It's always been good to have more money, right? Save it for the rainy days.
7. I am laying on my bed right now, typing this post. Which also means that I have a comfy bed in a descent house to keep me warm from the rain and wind outside.
8. I know that I will always have Him beside me.
U know, sometimes u just can't count on people anymore. Even the ones closest to your heart. After all, they are just human beings.

Judulnya apa ya?
Apa yang kau alami kini
mungkin tak dapat engkau mengerti
satu hal tanamkan di hati
indah semua yang Tuhan beri
Tuhanmu tak akan memberi
ular beracun pada yang minta roti
cobaan yang engkau alami
tak melebihi kekuatanmu
Tangan Tuhan sedang merenda
suatu karya yang agung mulia
saatnya kan tiba nanti
kau lihat pelangi kasihNya
Ada yang tau lagu ini judulnya apa?
I really love this song. It's been my strength for this last years.
Anyway Tuhan, kapan ya pelangi kasihnya itu muncul?
*puppy eyes*

Maaf
Memaafkan adalah suatu proses. Pastinya itu adalah proses yg tidak nyaman. Lama dan menyakitkan.
Namun dengan demikian pula, manusialah yg bertindak sebagai subjek yg memutuskan. Apakah dia mau memasuki proses itu atau tidak dan tetap bertahan di luarnya.
Pastinya banyak sekali kejadian2 yg sudah kualami seumur hidupku, di mana aku belajar arti kata memaafkan. Melewati fase demi fase, mulai dengan penyangkalan (denial), marah dengan keadaan yg terjadi dan mulai mencari seseorang/sesuatu utk disalahkan, kemudian baru mulai menerima (acceptance), then u will be able to put everything behind as the past and try ur hardest not to look back.
2007 was a year of learning for me. That was one of the hardest year I've been thru in my life.
Tanpa berusaha menunjuk/menyinggung pihak2 yg berkaitan dengan peristiwa2 itu, aku akan berusaha menuliskannya secara singkat.
It was when I have shared my heart with someone so dear, and suddenly he cheated on me. That's it. Singkat kan? :p
I tried and I tried so hard to forgive and forget about all this, but it just didn't work out.
Atau mungkin itu berarti aku belum berhasil benar2 memaafkan? Mungkin juga sih.
Aku benar2 tidak mengerti kenapa kesalahan orang/pihak lain bisa dijadikan alasan utk melakukan pelanggaran lainnya.
Aku benar2 tidak mengerti betapa seseorang yg terlihat begitu suci dan lembut di luarnya ternyata bisa menjadi ancaman utk suatu hubungan yg sudah dibina dan dijaga dengan susah payah.
Aku benar2 tidak mengerti kenapa semua jerih payah selama ini tiba2 terbayar dengan luka yg rasa2nya begitu mustahil utk menutup kembali.
Aku juga benar2 tidak mengerti akan arti seorang sahabat. Bukankah mereka seharusnya selalu berdiri di pihak kita dan menguatkan kita di saat kita lemah? Apakah itu seorang sahabat jika ia menyarankanmu utk melakukan hal2 yg kau tahu pasti akan menyakiti aku?
Banyak hal yg masih menjadi tanda tanya di kepalaku.
Call me naive, but I'm just too logical not to think about this and just get rid of it.
I have been trying so far, I am still trying now, and I am saying that I will never stop trying until the day come when I can make peace with all this thing and the people who's involved.
So Lord help me, please..
