Puasa hari 1
Hari ini adalah hari puasa pertama. Mengapa kita berpuasa? Tentu bukan untuk mengejar kesalehan tertentu, atau untuk mendapatkan hadiah atau imbalan tertentu dari Tuhan. Kita berpuasa karena tubuh ini memang harus dilatih. Tubuh harus dilatih dari segala "kelekatan." Kelekatan inilah yang membuat hidup kita tidak bisa bahagia tanpanya. Apa itu? ada banyak hal. Makanan adalah salah satunya. Mengurangi salah satu jam makan, atau meniadakan makanan kesukaan dalam menu harian selama program puasa ini adalah latihan yang baik. Kita bisa menggantikan jam makan dengan saat untuk berbagi bersama sesama. Dan lihatlah, kita akan menemukan makna hidup dan kebahagiaan yang hakiki.
Ada hal lain lagi yang penting saat puasa. Pikiran dan hati kita pun harus dilatih untuk tunduk kepada Otoritas Tertinggi di hidup kita. Manusia sering lupa bahwa hidupnya terbatas, sehingga ia sering bertindak di luar batas. Bahkan agama pun digunakan sebagai alat legalitas perbuatannya. Asalkan ada ayat-ayat Alkitab cukuplah untuk membuktikan bahwa apa yang kita lakukan itu sesuai dengan kehendak Allah. Benarkah demikian?
Puasa Pra paskah dimulai sejak Rabu Abu. Persis hari ini. Abu mengingatkan kita akan kefanaan manusia, "...sebab engkau debu dan akan kembali menjadi debu..." (Kejadian 3:19) Artinya, kita bukanlah Yang Mahakuasa, yang tanpa batas. Kita hanyalah makhluk terbatas. Kita punya waktu hidup yang terbatas. Maka dengan berpuasa, kita diingatkan bagaimana menggunakan waktu dan hidup yang terbatas ini untuk melakukan sesuatu yang bernilai kekal. Apa itu? Belajar mengasihi Allah dengan menaati Dia. Begitu pula belajar mengasihi Allah dengan mengasihi ciptaan-Nya pula. "Berpuasa yang Kukehendaki ialah supaya engkau membuka belenggu-belenggu kelaliman, dan melepaskan tali tali kuk, supaya engkau memerdekakan orang yang teraniaya dan mematahkan setiap kuk, supaya engkau memecah-mecah rotimu bagi orang yang lapar dan membawa ke rumahmu orang miskin yang tak punya rumah, dan apabila engkau melihat orang telanjang, supaya engkau memberi dia pakaian dan tidak menyembunyikan diri terhadap saudaramu sendiri!" (Yesaya 58:6,7).

40 days of fast
tomorrow is going to be the first day of 40 days of fast before easter (except for Sundays). this will be the first time for me since years ago. The point is to fokus on Lord Jesus.
Everybody's fine
everybody's fine. That's the title of the movie I just watched. it makes me feel just a litte bit of what my parents might feel towards us, the children. I can't describe it by words, I just know. I should've called them often even if just to say hello and ask how they're doing. I miss mom and dad. I miss home.

Envication
There'll be camp this week. I was so happy about it, considering this will be my first camp in my life, but now I have to admit it that, I'm no longer interested in it. There are so many things we need to bring and even pay for that. Well, it couldn't be worst if I have all the things I need to bring. But facing the fact that almost the stuff like carrier bag, mitten, chocolate, cargo trousers, kerpus (I don't even know what does it mean until my friends told me, it's kinda hat that thieve usually wears, and I was like WHAT?? Why on earth we need to bring such a thing, I'm not a thieve), and so on. I need to rent, I need to ask my mom send it for me, I need to buy, and I need to borrow.. so troublesome.
The camp will be held on 15 to 17 of February 2013. I bet we'll be ordered to give the chocolate to seniors or someone we like, yeah stuff like that considering the valentine day. I'm sure it we'll be interesting, but I prefer to have the chocolates to myself though... lalalaaaaa :D ... if that's the case perhaps I should buy cheap chocolate like coin chocolate.. hhaaahaa.. so greedy of me.. XD.
The camp is Enviro camp and it's called EnviCation. After all, this is still my first camp, so I need to do better in everything, and make it memorable.
Oh yeah I got "STACK" as my camp's name. Seniors told us to find the meaning of the name and connect it to our character. It's easy to find the meaning, and it's so troublesome to find the connection. I think they just given me a random name which has nothing to do with my character. Lalalaaaa kik

My new sister ...
2 weeks ago.. I met my new sister from south africa. She visited Indonesia to meet her new family. At first she was shy. But she always smile whenever I saw her. My first impression was that she's a friendly person. She stayed for about 5 days with us.
She brought us, some chocolates which were so delicious, and also kurma which tasted like cakes. I don't know what is 'kurma' in english. Based on dictionary, kurma is 'palm date'. haha I don't know, whatever.
It was fun being with her. Not to mention she only speaks english so it was also a chance for me to improve my speak ability. Oh ya, she's a flight attendant in Dubai. She has a good taste in fashion and likes nail painting. She often paints my nails. And when she had nothing to do she would ask me to remove the polish on my nails and then paint it again with different colour... lol .. I also got my hair strainghten by her.
She really likes my mom's cook. She adapted fast with the family. Our favourite tv program is 'Take Me Out'.. All of my family and her with gathered in the family room and then watch the program together. She's also part of family now.
The night before depart to Bali, she said that she already get used to the family, even at first we are so shy.. she promise to visit us again.
We called her Trisha. She's my brother girlfriend.
I really want to write this on my diary, but too lazy too do it :D heheee ...

Most popular traditional dress
got this information few days ago.
just FYI.
1. Batik (Indonesia)
2. Ushanka (Russia)
Ushanka also called a shapka-ushanka(шaпкa-ушанка), trooper or a Trapper's hat, is a Russian fur cap with ear flaps that can be tied up to the crown of the cap, or tied at the chin to protect the ears, jaw and lower chin from the cold. The thick dense fur also offers some protection against blunt impacts to the head. While no match for a helmet, it offers protection far superior to that of a typical beanie cap should the wearer fall and hit his or her head against ice or packed snow.
3. Niqap (Middle East)
Niqap is a cloth which covers the face as a part of sartorial hijab. It is worn by some Muslim women in public areas and in front of non-mahram adult males
4. Sombrero (Mexico)
Sombrero in English refers to a type of wide-brimmed hat originating in Mexico.
It usually has a somewhat high pointed crown, an extra-wide brim (broad enough to cast a shadow over the head, neck and shoulders of the wearer, and slightly upturned at the edge), and a chin string to hold it in place. Cowboys generalized the word to mean just about any wide broad-brimmed hat.
In Mexico, peasant sombreros are usually made of straw, while wealthier people wear sombreros made of felt. They come in many designs with different colorings, woven patterns, and decorations. They are rarely seen in modern urban settings, except as part of folkloric outfits worn in certain festivities. The Mexican sombrero has become a national and cultural symbol, and is often used in traditional Mexican celebrations, especially by communities outside Mexico.
5. Jilbab (North Africa)
The term jilbāb or jilbaab refers to any long and loose-fit coat or garment worn by some Muslim womenThe modern jilbāb covers the entire body, except for hands, face, and head. The head and neck are then covered by a scarf or wrap (khimar). Some women will also cover the hands and face (niqab).
6. Kaftan (Persia)
A kaftan or caftan (from Persian) is a front-buttoned coat or overdress, usually reaching to the ankles, with long sleeves. It can be made of wool, cashmere, silk, or cotton. It may be worn with a sash.
It is a variant of the robe or tunic, versions of which have been worn by countless cultures around the world, for thousands of years. Despite the Persian origin of the term "kaftan", Persian robes of honor were commonly known as khalat or kelat
7. Cheongsam (China)
The cheongsam is a body-hugging one-piece Chinese dress for women; the male version is the changshan. It is known in Mandarin Chinese as the qípáo, and is also known in English as a mandarin gown. The stylish and often tight-fitting cheongsam or qipao (chipao) that is most often associated with today was created in the 1920s in Shanghai and was made fashionable by socialites and upperclass women.
8. Kimono (Japan)
.jpg)
The kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by men, women and children. The word "kimono", which literally means a "thing to wear" (ki "wear" and mono "thing") has come to denote these full-length robes. The standard plural of the word kimono in English is kimonos, but the unmarked Japanese plural kimono is also sometimes used.
Kimono are T-shaped, straight-lined robes worn so that the hem falls to the ankle, with attached collars and long, wide sleeves. Kimono are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial.) and secured by a sash called an obi, which is tied at the back. Kimono are generally worn with traditional footwear (especially zōri or geta) and split-toe socks (tabi).
9. Sari (India)
A sari or sare is a strip of unstitched cloth, worn by females, ranging from four to nine yards in length that is draped over the body in various styles which is native to the Indian SubcontinentThe sari is usually worn over a petticoat (called lahaṅgā or lehenga in the north; langa, pavada, or pavadai in the south; chaniyo, parkar, ghaghra, or ghagaro in the west; and shaya in eastern India), with a blouse known as a choli or ravika forming the upper garment. The blouse has short sleeves and a low neck and is usually cropped at the midriff, and as such is particularly well-suited for wear in the sultry South Asian summers. Cholis may be backless or of a halter neck style. These are usually more dressy, with plenty of embellishments such as mirrors or embroidery, and may be worn on special occasions
10. Scotland traditional clothes
The term Highland dress describes the traditional dress of Scotland. It is often characterised by tartan (plaid in North America) patterns in some form.
Male highland dress includes kilt (or trews), sporran, sgian dubh and ghillies. Ghillies, or ghillie brogues, are traditional thick soled shoes with no tongues and long laces. The laces are wrapped around and tied above the wearer's ankles so that the shoes do not get pulled off in mud. The shoes lack tongues so the wearer's feet can dry more quickly in typically damp Scottish weather. The ghillie brogue is named after the ghillie, the traditional Scottish gamekeeper and outdoorsman.
Female highland dress includes women's shoes, also called ghillies, that are tied in the same way but have thin soles for indoor wear and dancing. Traditionally, women and girls do not wear kilts but may wear ankle-length tartan skirts. A tartan sash or shawl may also be worn. Women may also wear dress tartans which are modified versions which include white in place of a more prominent colour.

TALK LESS DO MORE
This new year celebration was really hectic. In many events I attended, people are busy asking another's resolution. And of course infotainment in tv really made it worst. Actually I don't really have any resolution to welcome my life in 2013. 2012 was already an amazing year for me along with everything that had happended which most of them were my first experiences.
Getting tired of the "resolution thing" people aware of, I think in every new year resolution the important part is to do it. The "to do list" will be useless if they're just words. So every new year resolution people made should be followed by resolution no.2 : TALK LESS, DO MORE. (just like an ads in tv).

Natal di hatiku ...^^
Menurut waktu dan jam Indonesia bagian barat, malam natal kurang lebih 29 jam dan 30 menit lagi. Ini adalah pertama kalinya bagi saya untuk merayakan natal sendiri tanpa keluarga. Sejujurnya saya biasa saja, karena saya merasa bahwa saya sudah cukup dewasa untuk mengerti apa arti natal. Yang penting selama persediaan uang saya masih dalam batas aman, saya paling tidak bisa jalan-jalan lah ke mall atau ke tempat lain trus beli makanan kecil, kue-kue kering dan beberapa minuman untuk menemani natal kali ini. Kan jarang-jarang juga natal sendirian kayak gini. Saya memang bukan penganut hedonisme, hanya saja karena ini natal dan saya pun sendiri, saya rasa saya berhak lah bersenang-senang sedikit.
Saat berbincang-bincang lewat telpon seluler bersama kakak saya beberapa hari lalu, saya dihadapkan pada kenyataan bahwa saya sepertinya harus berhemat bulan ini. What??? I mean this is Christmas, and I'm alone here by myself ... hellowwww,,, is anyone care?... oh tidak tahu apa yang harus dilakukan... awalnya saya marah walaupun tidak secara terang-terangan mengatakannya.
Namun setelah mendengar penjelesan dari kakak saya, saya rasa bahwa saya tidak punya hak untuk marah sama sekali. Malahan saya seharusnya bersyukur, karena sampai saat ini saya masih berkecukupan, masih bisa makan setiap hari, di kamar ada susu dan sereal yang selalu menemani untuk sarapan, dll. Dan tidak ada satupun hal dalam hidup saya yang membuat saya tidak bisa bersyukur pada Tuhan Yesus. Natal adalah hari kelahiran Juruslamat bagi dunia. Yang menjadi tokoh utama dalam Natal itu bukanlah santa klaus, makanan, minuman, pohon natal ataupun kado, melainkan Tuhan Yesus sendiri. Saya sebenarnya sudah mengerti tentang ini sejak lama, karena sering menjadi topik-topik khotbah natal di gereja, tapi kalau sudah dialami sendiri rasanya berbeda. Memang yah mengerti sesuatu karena sekedar tahu itu berbeda dengan mengerti karena mengalaminya sendiri.
Sudah dipastikan bahwa natal kali ini, tidak akan ada makanan dan minuman yang spesial di dalam kamar kos saya. Juga tidak akan ada jalan-jalan ke mall beli ini dan itu. Saya belajar bahwa dalam kekurangan sekalipun, saya masih dimampukan untuk bersyukur itu merupakan kesempatan yang istimewa. Ini bukannya mencari-cari alasan untuk menghindari rasa malu karena tidak punya apa-apa. Saya tidak malu sama sekali. Melihat apa yang masih ada pada saya sekarang dan mengetahui bahwa keluarga saya di sana juga baik-baik saja, saya rasa itu merupakan hal yang terbaik. Tuhan Yesus tidak bisa kasih yang baik, Dia cuma bisa memberikan apa yang terbaik bagi kita. Natal tidak akan berarti tanpa kasih Kristus.
Kisah saya ini mirip-mirip dengan lagu 'natal di hatiku' yang ditulis oleh Jonathan prawira.
SEPERTI PALUNGAN
LAYAKKANLAH HATIKU MENYAMBUT-MU TUHAN
SEPERTI EMAS KEMENYAN DAN MUR
BIAR HIDUPKU BERKENAN PADA-MU
SEBAB NATAL TAK AKAN BERARTI TANPA KASIH-MU
LAHIR DI HATIKU
HANYA BERSAMA-MU YESUS KURASAKAN SELALU
INDAHNYA NATAL DI HATIKU
BERSAMA PADUAN SUARA SURGA KU BERNYANYI
KEMULIAAN DI TEMPAT MAHA TINGGI
DAN DAMAI SEJAHTERA DI ANTARA MANUSIA
YANG HIDUPNYA BERKENAN KEPADA-MU

The Chronicles of Narnia Piano
I'm a big fan of The Chronicles of Narnia both books and movies.
I downloaded this few years back somewhere through google.
When I have the opportunity, I'll make sure to learn these pieces. ^^

SAO
Just finished watched Sword Art Online ep. 23 yesterday. It was great. The drawing was a little bit different with the manga.
Now I'm downloading ep.24 ...
I heard that in ep 24 they finally reunite each other (kirito and asuna). It's so boring watching him with his 'brother complex' sister in ALfheim Online. The Land of Fairies sounds good to me, but I'd rather prefer their appereance in SAO. Kirito was so different in ALfheim, his appereance and character. He's much cooler and cuter in SAO, I think the fairy character doesn't really suit him ^^. And Asuna as always is beautiful both in SAO and ALfheim.
Can't wait to watch the next ep.

a story about friends (BBF)
when I was in junior high school I met 4 friends. they are
mariani, puput, asniar, and anis.
Because of them my junior high (jh) was so much fun. I was originally not in the same class with them at my first year. But I don't know, somehow I got transfer into another class after spending my very first week in jh. Mariani(from different class) was also like me, she got transfer into another class which was the beginning of our friendship.
Maray ( Mariani nick's) and me got into a new class called 7A. There we met Puput, Asniar and Anis. I knew maray since elementary, we are from SD2 (Elementary 2) while puput, asniar, and anis from SD1 ( Elementray 1). SD 1 and SD2 were private school under the same company. I don't know why it is separated. Actually the schools were located in the same place, but because of unidentified reason, the students were barely talk one another.
It is also because of another unidentified reason, we somehow was getting closer. Maybe because we're often in one group if there's a project.
When other girls were talking about fashion, boys or lesson, we had our own different topics. Well, not really different actually cause sometimes we also talked about fashion, boys, etc.. but in different story and version. The topic was randomly picking when we had something in our mind. We were often talked about something imaginable, abstract, mystery, or unspeakable. We also had our own gossips and jokes. When we were together, there's always something to talk, to chat, and to laugh at.
asniar's shoes (how funny when she was trying to act like nothing happend in front other people while she's dragging her feet.)
We had our own world. We like books (harry potter, the chronicles of narnia, ulysses moore, etc..), musics, movies, and we like to compete each other. That was the first time I began to take my lesson seriously. I learnt so much from them.
On the second year, we were also in the same class. I don't know how but, somehow we were included in the class which contain the student's who's final score is in the top 32 in the school (if I'm not mistaken). and I was like WOW... LoL we really made it. The same amazing thing happend in the third year. we're in the same class again... really that was a record. I love it, but it really took a lot of effort to be able to get into that class. The students were pretty much the same with the second year.
My third year was the most unforgetable moment in junior high. Many things happended.
That was more or less 3,5 years ago. Now we are continuing our study in different majors. Anis; mathematics, Maray; information technology, Puput; information system, Asniar; farmacy and me; environmental engineering, all in different colleges and places, except me and anis. :p
once a friend, forever a friend. that's why it is bloody friends forever.

English is fun
This is the speech that was supposed to be performed 1 year ago in a speech and poetry reading contest. Due to some problems I was disqualified together with my friend: Elida Yuliani (poetry reading). it took a lot effort to make this, so I think it might be usefull for some people ^^
sorry if there's grammatical error.
English is very useful to us because of we can communicate
internationally, we can make friends with people around the world, it helps us
to gain success, and so on. That are common things to say when someone ask you
why English is important.
Even though everyone knows that English is useful and
important, it doesn't guarantee that they also feel English is fun.
English is fun and it is not difficult at all. Personally, I
do think English is fun and easy. I believe that the key point is our
perception. If our perception 'English is easy' so it will be. On the other
hand, if we think it is hard, then it is hard. Saying 'English is easy' is easy
and saying 'it's difficult' is also easy. It needs the same amount of time, and
it is also free, but the affect is different. Saying English is easy will make
us think it's easy and keep our spirit up. Saying it difficult will make us
think it's difficult. Many motivators say that you are what you say.
In fact it won't be easy as saying it. To make English
becomes easy, we need not only perception, but also effort. Being able to speak
English isn't something that came from dreamland, but comes by effort. In
learning English we can choose which method is the most convenient for us.
Maybe some will say; it's still hard, it has no use at all. I do believe that
there's nothing instant in learning. It's not magic which result will come in a
short time. Learning needs process. First time I learnt English just because I
don't want to get a low score in the subject. I found English is interesting
and fun when I finally get the profit. I've met many friends outside Indonesia.
And it is fun to be able to communicate with them. I also like to watch western
and animation film. And of course they use English. If there's an interesting
sentence I'll wrote it and search for the meaning in dictionary. That's my
effort; the method I chose was chatting and watching which are also my hobbies.
English is easy. I believe it is not just 'easy' but
conditional easy. All of us here are still learning. Just like the rise and
fall of the tides, life also has its ups and downs. Sometimes feel so diligent,
sometimes feel so lazy. It doesn't matter and actually it is natural. Just
don’t stop learning.
Think you need English very much. People will be very good in
learning a language when they need to use that language. For example, you are
in vacation then were lost in London, just in several months you comeback to
Indonesia you'll be able to speak English well. Why? It is because that's the
only choice you have to survive you need you be able to speak English. But to
be able speak English well, we don't need to lost in London, just make friends
with those who can speak English, as for me it is chatting. I learnt most of my
vocabulary not in school, but by chatting with many people in internet. When
you met someone in chatting and then he asks you something you don't know the
meaning, you have no choice you need to search it in dictionary then you can
finally answer it. That's the way I learnt English. I realized, even we come
from many different countries, only by English we can truly communicate and
understand each other.
The last one is to share. Don’t keep your knowledge to
yourself. When you share you gain happiness. I have a dream to be able to speak
English fluently. I'm sure you do the same. This will probably inspire you to
keep your dream in balance, not just dreaming but also start doing something to
achieve your dream.
In conclusion, It won't be easy as saying it. When it becomes
easy, there's no challenge. When there's no challenge, there's no fun, isn't
it? That's why English is fun.
sorry if there's grammatical error.
teringat masa sma gue
Ada yang bilang kalau masa sma adalah masa yang paling ga bisa dilupakan. Pas gue masih sma, ngedenger kata-kata ini emang terasa aneh. Apanya coba yang ga bisa dilupakan?... apalagi masa sma gue tuh pisah sama ortu alias gue ngekos nun jauh di kota orang demi pendidikan... LoL soooooo cliche.. not me banget. Lanjut ya.. jadi singkatnya gue tuh pas sma biasa ajehh, temen-temen deket sih punya ya... tapi prestasi akademik gue jatuh rek... hikss :( gue baru dihadapkan pada kenyataan klo gue tuh "mungkin" tidak berbakat dalam bidang matematika.
Nahh barusan nih ye.. gue ngeliat foto2 sma gue dlu bareng temen-temen dari kelas 1 ampe kelas 3. Gue baru sadar, ternyata emang unforgetable banget. Gue kangen masa-masa itu. Dari gue tk sampe sma, kata-kata pe-er alias pekerjaan rumah itu emang ga ada habisnya. klo pas kuliah ne pe-er diganti jadi tugas... eewww .. Gue baru mulai masuk kuliah tahun ini, jadi masih belon terlalu ngerasain asiknya masa-masa perkuliahan tuh gimana ditambah juga ada pengkaderan (ospek kampus) yang lamanya tuh 6 bulan lebih ..mmm ga kebayang.. but thank's GOD gue masih bisa bertahan sampe sekarang :)
Masa-masa SMA adalah masa dimana gue belajar banyak hal-hal yang baru. Mulai dari belajar program komputer secara otodidak sampe belajar ngatur duit bulanan gue #maklum gue mengecap kehidupan kos mulai dari sma hehee. Belajar susahnya nyari temen yang baik(dari gue TK sampe smp, temen-temen gue ga jauh berubah alias itu itu ajeh, maklum swasta) Sma, gue pengen ngerasain gimana skolah negri, dan jadilah gue masuk SMAN1 B--------n. Di tahun pertama gue, uda jago maen kartu... hahaaa maklum temen-temen gue bandar semua #oopss hahaa klo lgi ada ad guru, kerjaanya pasti maen kartu melulu yang kalah mukenye di bedakin ampe jelek. Di tahun pertama jugalah gue mulai terjangkit dengan virus menular yang namanya K-pop fever dari kakak kos sebelah kamar. Waktu itu gue lagi homesick tingkat tinggi (tiap hari nangis), dan jadilah pas gue uda mulai kenal K-pop, homesick gue tergantikan dengan 'korean freak-mode on' gue. Di tahun pertama juga gue mulai ikut eskul bahasa inggris n olim. astronomi. untuk bing, gue cman ikut 1 hari, trus berhenti, soale ank2nya jago banget cuy debatnya, gue rasa itu bkan tempat gue, dan lanjut dengan olimp. astronomi, gue ikut ini (atau bisa dibilang ikut-ikutan) tuh gue lupa sejarahnya gimana, yang gue inget gue tiba-tiba masuk aja gitu di olimp ini.. dan di olimp ini pun gue ngga bertahan lama.
sebenarnya gue masih pengen lanjut cerita, tapi mood gue tiba-tiba berubah.. so next time aj deh, pas mood gue lagi pengen ngelanjutin. C u ^^
