I'm thankful for...





Facebook is the right place to feel bad (or good?) about yourself. 
While  facebook can make you reunite with your friends from far far away, or even given you opportunity to do some businesses.. But at the same time, it also fulfilled with tons of pictures that can make you feel bad about yourself (and others or vice versa), and little did we know, it turn into envious feeling. 
"I wish I could be at XXXXX like him, I wish I could have XXXX like her, and etc etc." 
Well, OK I'm only human, purely 100% human who feels jealous. 

When I clicked through those enviable pictures and my heart start beating fast, I always manage myself to quickly log out from facebook, turn off the laptop, laying down in my bed and keep telling myself how lucky I am. 
I look around me and I silently whispered to myself, what's not to love from my life? When I feel down about my job and workplace, I keep reminding the devil inside of me that I should be grateful can be sit down where I am now. Things might get ugly sometimes, but I can't denied that it could be good some other times. How life is full of bittersweet.




I'm so thankful still be able to work and run my own family company.
I'm so thankful for the healthy food intake I eat every single day.
I'm so thankful to be surrounded by people whom I love and love me back.
I'm so thankful for the air that I breathe and the water that flow in my house. 
I'm so thankful that I have a boyfriend whom showered me with things that not available in stores and even money can't buy: acknowledge and experience. 
And many more thankfulness till I can make a whole book with it..





Don't forget to always be grateful about yourself and what you own. Cos sometimes people too busy to look at someone else's garden, till they don't notice how beautiful their garden is.. We reap what we sow. What are we doing now will be what we get in the future. Keep doing a good thing, then it will all come back to you. 

I currently reading a book and I can't help but quote, 
"Don't waste time judging, complaining, blaming, and feeling sorrow. If you do, you'll strive and forget your aim and purpose in life" 

I will try to be a person that less judging, complaining, blaming, and feeling sorrow about my life and others... Thank you for teach me.. (you know who you are) xox

I'm shaking as I type this.  After so many years I haven't update my blog, but i feel like now i need it more than ever.  Writing use to be my therapy.  so. my husband died. on 22-11-22 to be exact.  85 days ago  there. i say it.  you won't believe how much courage i've gathered to type this post here. the very blog that witness our journey. from a hopeless teenager, to finally got married, and eventually became parents of two adorable kids. too bad i didn't get a chance to update it more. however i frequently updated my twitter & instagram. so there are traces of our journey there as well.  how do i feel? PAIN. EXCRUCIATING PAIN. A PAIN THAT IMPOSSIBLE TO CURE My heart so tattered that there's nothing more to be torn. He died a sudden death. I won't go into details, at least not now. Our 20 years journey ended abrubtly. there goes our future hopes and dreams. __________________ I begin to questioning the existence of God. We've lead a good life. w...

still..

current mood : still upset Every children biggest dream would always be make their parents proud. Including me. But how? Many whispers came to my ear that said, "Go ahead and find your place at your Dad's Co.", "Why wasting more time with useless job?", "Don't ever try to work in a -desperately-needing-investment Bank!", and blah and blah and blah. Dude I really wanna show my Dad that I can earn myself money. Now my new car is on its way to my garage doesn't mean I'm fully happy. I mean, I feel very grateful with my Dad's present, but I realize that it will burden me. How long until I can earn my own money? Let's rewind to two years ago, when my friends busy to get a part-time job. This "part-time job" means SPG (Sales Promotion Girl), or Bridesmaid (at someone else's wedding), or Wedding Organizer's crew. That's all we can do for our status as a under-graduate student. Nothing else more and nothing else better...

W.W-II

My boyfriend and I have been fighting a lot lately.  What the heck is our problem? What is left to fight about? Don't we fight enough? I thought seven-and-a-half years is more than enough to get to know each other. Seven years ago, what we fought about was jealousy. I hate seen him with his female friends (let alone his ex girlfriend!) I hate to accept the fact that he loved his bike more than me, I mad when he late to picked me up. Seven years later, the problems between us are rapidly growing, to some serious ones.  Here comes the question: WHAT KIND OF MOTHER WOULD YOU BE? ...dead silence... That second I thought, holy shit.  How could he ask this weird, tricky, and unimaginable question? Honestly, I couldn't help it. He trapped me.  I muted for a while. Not because I didn't know the answer, of course I want to be not just good, but a GREAT mother (who doesn't anyway?)  But Dieter isn't the type of man who easily satisfied with a shortcoming answer. He nee...
