Yakkk Pearl edisi 03 is PUBLISHED :)
Cekidot ya teman2 silahkan ke wwww.majalahpearl.com
Kali ini temanya Fresh New Start..
Sedikit cerita tentang gimana bisa ikud join majalah pearl ini..
Pas majalah pearl 01 launching, gw mikir keren banget nih majalah khusus woman. Mereka2 yang rindu untuk membangun wanita2 Allah lebih lagi.. Wuihhh Tuhan ani mao donk ikud berpartisipasi or mao bisa jadi contoh and impactful woman juga..
Kira2 begini doa gw Tuhan, abis june ini bakal nganggur abis nih make up course cuma 3jam sehari, Tuhan tau kan kalo ani ga ada kerjaan bisa stres sendiri.. Tapi mikir2 bantu dibagian apa yah? Start nulis blog juga masi baru banget, kayanya ga bisa deh.. Mau bantu designing, uda ada tuh designnya si ci Shinta. Uda keren juga majalah pearl, kayanya ga perlu lagi deh.
Terussss 31May gw inget banget! Ci Shinta msg fb gw and out of sudden nanyain kesediaan untuk jadi designer pearl. Terus gw cerita singkat deh sama dya tentang doa gw bulan lalu! Ci Shinta bales: HAHAHAHAHA GOD WORKS EVEN BEFORE WE DO!! Awesomeness *tersungkur*
Dari sini juga gw belajar, sometimes we may not see God's way.. or seems God didn't answer our prayer.. But He always work behind our scene. God timing always perfect. He will never be late even one second. And He answer our prayer in miraculous ways. Jadi inget lagu Don Moen, He will make a way where there seems to be no way He works in ways we cannot see He will make a way for me. So never give up okay.. Keluarin semua uneg2 ke Tuhan, semua harapan impian yang walo kadang kedengerannya konyol haha tapi jangan lupa juga untuk berdiam diri and takes time to listen to His voice.. And prayer really change things :)

Apple At The Top Of The Tree
Women are like apples on trees.
The best ones are at the top of the tree.
The men don’t want to reach for the good ones
because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt.
Instead, they just get the rotten apples from the ground
that aren’t as good, but easy.
So the apples at the top think something is wrong with them,
when in reality, they’re amazing.
They just have to wait for the right man to come along,
the one who’s brave enough to climb all the way to the top.

Tiada Yang Abadi
♡Suatu hari seorang bapak tua hendak menumpang bus. Pada saat ia menginjakkan kakinya ke tangga, salah satu sepatunya terlepas & jatuh ke jalan. Lalu pintu tertutup & bus mulai bergerak, sehingga ia tidak bisa memungut sepatu yg terlepas tadi. Si bapak tua itu dengan tenang melepas sepatunya yg sebelah & melemparkannya keluar jendela.
♡Seorang pemuda yg duduk dalam bus melihat kejadian itu, dan bertanya kepada si bapak tua, "Aku memperhatikan apa yg Anda lakukan Pak. Mengapa Anda melemparkan sepatu Anda yg sebelah juga?" Si bapak tua menjawab,"Supaya siapapun yang menemukan sepatuku bisa memanfaatkannya."
♡Si bapak tua dalam cerita di atas memahami filosofi dasar dalam hidup - jangan mempertahankan sesuatu hanya karena kamu ingin memilikinya atau karena kamu tidak ingin orang lain memilikinya.
♡Kita kehilangan banyak hal di sepanjang masa hidup. Kehilangan tersebut pada awalnya tampak seperti tidak adil & merisaukan, tapi itu terjadi supaya ada perubahan positif yang terjadi dalam hidup kita.
♡Kalimat di atas tidak dapat diartikan kita hanya boleh kehilangan hal-hal jelek saja. Kadang, kita juga kehilangan hal baik.
♡Ini semua dapat diartikan :
Supaya kita bisa menjadi dewasa secara emosional dan spiritual, pertukaran antara kehilangan sesuatu dan mendapatkan sesuatu haruslah terjadi.
♡Seperti si bapak tua dalam cerita, kita harus belajar untuk melepaskan sesuatu. Tuhan sudah menentukan bahwa memang itulah saatnya si bapak tua kehilangan sepatunya.
♡Berkeras hati & berusaha mempertahankannya tidak membuat kita atau dunia menjadi lebih baik. Kita semua harus memutuskan kapan suatu hal, suatu keadaan atau seseorang masuk dalam hidup kita, atau kapan saatnya kita lebih baik bersama yg lain.
♡Pada saatnya, kita harus mengumpulkan keberanian untuk melepaskannya.
♡Karena tiada badai yg tak berlalu. Tiada pesta yg tak pernah usai. Semua yg ada didunia ini tiada yg abadi. Hanya Tuhan yang abadi :)

The Cuteness Of My Dad
Abis post blog yang tentang my dad is my first love,
jadi pingin share how cute my dad is..
Ini bisa jadi reminder ke diri sendiri sih kalo gw lagi sebel2 ngamuk2 sama bokap wkwkw. Bokap gw tipe yang iseng, dy suka isengin kelitikin gw ledekin gw sampe gw tereak beneran tereak membara haha.. Tapi kalo diinget2 lagi, every little things really means alot :)
My love language is quality time, followed by acts of service and words of affirmation.
Di buku nya si GC bilang kalo our love language itu affect sebagian besar karena keluarga kita juga.. Bener banget tuh.. Nih hal2 sweet yang bokap gw lakuin ke gw selama gw 20taon ini:
1. Pas kecil, gw suka banget ke TMII naek bebek2an di danau yg perlu di goes. Terus nyokap ga ijinin. Jadi bokap half day cuti, and kita berduaan diem2an ke TMII. pulang2 diocehin mama wkwkwk. Sering banget begitu..
2. Suka ngintil bokap ke kantor. Dulu dya kerja di Citibank, terus gw libur sekolahan ikud ke kantor dya, mainan di kolong meja dya huahuaha dan lunch gw selalu HARUS MCD cheese burger ;p im so in love sama cheese burger mcd, tapi skr mos burger is the best!
3. Gak mau kumpulin raport, kalo bukan bokap yang tandatangan.
4. Dulu seminggu sekali pasti di keluarga gw ada makan ketoprak and martabak. Makan martabak gw cuma mau makan kejunya aja, jadi bokap makan adonan yang ga ada kejunya huahua. terus ketoprak gw cuma makanin kerupuk sama tahunya. anaknakal*
5. Setiap bokap pulang kerja langsung lari2.. papa papa, tarik papa ke kursi komputer duduk di pangkuannya and start play tikus yang makanin keju. tau ga? yg kucingna kejerin tikusnya, terus tikus harus bikin block2 jalan biar kucing ga makan dya. seruuu! jaman jadul. Stuck di level 1, gak pernah mau ke next level. Game selsai sampai akhirnya mama tereak makannnnnnnn dan kita makan deh.
6. Dulu nyokap gw ada ajarin gw cara nulis "kereta api" gw ga bisa2. diajarin terus2an tetep ga bisa, sampe nyokap gw nangis saking keselnya. terus dya ngoceh2 marah2 gw juga nangis lah ya sebel gtu. terus pas bokap gw pulang, gw lari meluk kakinya (kan masi kecil gak sampe) terus nangis kejeng, eh pas bokap gw ajarin gw langsung bisa bo!! ga bakal lupa deh gw tuh insiden kereta api!
7. Lagi belajar goes sepeda, di belokan sama bokap gw bukan di rem tapi malah dikencengin, jadilah gw jatoh baret setengah muka ancur! terus pulang rumah terima nyanyian indonesia raya dari nyokap. wkwkwk. untung banget sekarang ga ada bekasnya sama sekali di muka. PTL
8. Pas kecil, tidur selalu sama bokap minta diceritain cerita hantu! keren ga gw, bukan cerita dongeng tapi cerita hantu. terus gw belon tidur dya uda tidur ngorok pula bbzz. tapi skr gw jadi tahan banting kalo tidur sama temen2 gw yg ngorok haha..
9. Pas SD gw seneng banget makan bakmi GM, tiap kali makan disana pasti bokap gw langsung bukain seleting rok merah gw. Gw gaya gitu selalu bilang roknya kesempitan abis makan pangsitnya ;p dodolduren yah kalo dipikir2 skr ==''
10. Bokap nangis banjir bok pas ninggalin gw di singapore, dy cuma ijinin gw anterin dya sampe lift appt gw doank. Satu hal yg gw ga bs lupa, pas dy di pesawat anter gw ke singapore
"cece mau ga balik skul lagi di jakarta aja?" Hah, ngapain lah kan uda bayar uang pakal disini juga. mahal tau. Terus bokap bilang yah gpp lah anggep aja kalah judi (pdhl dy mah ga main judi, judi bola ato apapun). HUKS gw langsung meleleh..
11. Bokap gw sering sent nyokap gw ke singapore, padahal nyokap ngoceh2 ngapain coba ke singapore mulu ga ada kerjaan bosen. Tapi bokap suru dateng buat temenin gw katanya wakaka. ujung2nya dya juga nyusul jemput nyokap and have short wekend together :)
12. Pas kemaren ini gw baru sampe di singapore, dya telp dimana ce? uda sampe? udah pa lagi di taxi. Oh ya uda ati2 ya, kapan kamu pulang? papa kangen nih. bused baru juga sampe spore haha..
13. The rest you see it by your self from the pictures below ya :) Jadi sedih pas nulis ini, banyak kenangan2 lucu pait manis bareng bokap euy.. ntar nikah gimana ya.. huaaa.. apalagi pas dya bawa gw jalan ke aisle and give my hand to my future husband.. nangis banjir deh..

My Dad Is My First Love
Wah udah lama gak update blog.. Banyak yang mau diceritain sih, tapi lagi super sibuk dan internet kaya siput jadi ke pending terus *alasanbanyak*
Habis lipet2 baju, ngepel dan duduk manis depan laptop.. Eh muncul chatting dari Ci Grace, "Vir gimana uploadannya?" Aku minta tolong Ko Mic ci. Ic Ic Ya udah gw nyetrika dulu yah masi ada 2keranjang nih. Gubrakss ternyata emang gak jauh2 kerjaan cewe haha :p. Terus buka ke Fb ci Grace, n jalan2 ke Fb lainnya.. Ada notes baru uy di Tuhan Masih Menulis Surat Cinta.. A Thing Mother Can't Do.. Baca ya.. Bagus loh :)
Abis baca notesnya aku langsung.. THANK GOD PRAISE GOD HALLELUJAH HOSANNA deh gw punya bokap yang super sayang sama gw.. Huhu.. Terharu abis.. Bersyukur 1000000000000x
A mother can't make a boy a man, only his dad can do that.
Seorang ibu bahkan TIDAK BISA membuat anak perempuannya menjadi WANITA sejati. Again, only HER DAD can do that.
A little girl needs her daddy love and acceptance before she can love and accept her husband.
Di God Girl, juga ditulis gini:
Inside every girl is a longing to have the perfect love relationship with her father. We all deeply desire more intimacy with the first man in our lives.
Super true!! Am dady's little girl.. Inget banget dulu pas kecil ditanya sama mama and tetangga, pacar ani sapa.. terus gw jawab.. papa.. itu masi TKb gitu deh. He is my first man and I really thank God for him :)
Abis baca notes ci Grace kaya ketampar banget, gw selama ini lack of thankfulness. Gw sadar kalo bokap gw sayang banget sama gw, even temen2 gw aja sampe bilang "gila bokap loe si sayang abis nie sama loe, ga kebayang pas loe ke singapore gimana dya kangennya tuh". Gw sadar kok kalo bokap tuh sayang abis sama gw, tapi ya udah gw ngerasa itu emang uda sepantesnya gw dapetin.
Jadi gw ga bersyukur sama apa yang uda Tuhan kasih, demand gw tinggi. Kenapa si bokap gw begini, kenapa begitu. Gw sering ngomel sama bokap gw. Pernah malah gw diem2an sama dya. Jangan ditiru deh. Sometimes the hardest people to love can be the ones who are closest to you. Tapi as I walk with God, He open up my eyes wider and wider.. Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you (Exodus 20:12).
Honoring them means that you dont argue with them in anger or bitterness. You dont roll your eyes or ignore them, but you give them the respect God commands you to give them. You might discuss differences and disagreements with them, but you always respect them as the authority over you, like a boss or a teacher.
Dulu ketika belon tobat, gw tau bokap gw sayang bgt ma gw, gw jg sayang kok. Tapi gw bukan tipe org yg bisa show what I feel, Im not good at that. Gw pikir yah udah lah ya, papa jg pasti tau. Ga usah sambut papa pulang kerja deh hari ini, toh besok juga masi ada. (Nyokap mengharuskan anak2nya dari kecil, kalo papa pulang kerja harus disambut depan pintu).
TAPI setelah jalan sama Tuhan, God remind me kalo we dont know what tomorrow will holds. Everything can change over nite. And we need to be ready. Yah paitnya, gw ga tau apa yg bakal terjadi 5menit ke depan. We need to use our time very wisely, we only live once in this life. So live your life to the fullest, when you look back you look with no regret at all. SIGH!! Dari sana gw tobat setobatnya.. Gw uda ga galak2 lagi sama papa.. Gw bener2 treasure his love, his care, his silly joke, his phone call, and all his lovely words..
Gw tau bokap gw tuh ga perfect, far beyond perfect. Dya juga belon percaya Tuhan. And now I really pray hard for the salvation of my family. I try my very best to show a Godly example, so they can see that God lives in me and I have changed. Gw bener2 makasih banget sama Tuhan untuk pemulihan hati gw, ga liat bokap gw dengan segala kekurangan dya tapi gw fokus sama kebaikan dan tujuan bokap gw ngelakuin ini itu..
Nih contohnya ya, keluarga gw tuh Budhist abis. Bangun rumah perlu liat fengshui, letaknya gimane sebel abis gw repottttt mesti pindah letak kasur dll. Dulu gw ngomel2 bete gw bilang percaya aneh2 aja sih konyol. Tapi sekarang gw respect, gw ngomong dengan lebih lembut dan tata bahasa yang bener. wakakak. And I still learning, its not easy!
Terus juga pernah, kelas SMP2 gitu.. gw sebel banget sama bokap soalnya hari sabtu minggu itu hari keluarga jadi gw ga boleh keluar sama temen2. Dya juga bilang gw uda kelayapan keluar rumah terus. Ih emosi jiwa gw bisa kuper donk gw ntar.. tapi kalo dipikir2 sekarang, gak tiap sabtu minggu juga dya larang gw keluar and emang bener lah cewe keluar terus2an apalagi masi 14an ga enak diliat tetangga and bahaya.. Pas dy larang gw gitu yah, gw take action ngambek. Gw tidur jam 6sore sampe jam 6pagi. Jadi dya pulang kantor gw uda tidur, gw pergi sekolah dya masi tidur wkwkw parah ya.. And suatu siang, gw mo online buka lappie eh pas gw buka lappie apa yang gw temukan sodara sodara?? Jreng jreng.. Wallpaper laptop gw itu penuh tulisan dari bokap gw.. Isinya gini kalo gw ga salah inget:
"Cece kenapa menghindar dari papa sih, jangan tidur cepet-cepet donk. Kamu juga kenapa sih kalo ngomong selalu jutek-jutek and galak. Cece tau kan papa sayang sama kamu"
Gileeee one thing yang gw ga bisa lupa bo.. The nicest thing my dad ever did to me.. Pas gw baca gw langsung malu abis sama diri gw.. Pas itu temen2 gw lagi main pula di rumah gw, mereka sibuk bilang aduh lucu ya.. hukss emang bokap gw super lucu :)
Ci Grace juga bilang pentingnya bokap dalem hubungan relationship sama cowo2. Bokap bakal jagain anak cewenya deh. Pas gw putus sama ex gw, bokap gw komenin status FB gw bok.. Nih komennya bisa dibaca disini.
So dari sini gw belajar, untuk bener2 punya hubungan yang dipuluhin dengan bokap2 kalian.. Im truly blessed :) Ikud kelas pemulihan hati Bapa deh, itu bantu juga. Gw inget banget dulu gw nangis seember kali haha lebai. Gw juga belajar, we as single lady untuk cari calon suami yang bener2.. Yang punya karakter Ilahi dan gak kompromi sama hal2 duniawi, yang karakter kerajaan Allahnya nyata dalam hidup mereka. Karena peran suami dan bokap tuh gede banget loh.. Ketika lu hamil, lu uda harus mulai doain janin lu.. doain kehendak Tuhan dalem hidup dya blabla.. Terus proses hamil lahirin gedein anak kan ga gampang.. Peran suami sebagai imam tuh gede! Kita sebagai wanitanya Allah, jangan cuma cari suami yang Kristen KTP aja.. Kristen Tanpa Pertobatan. Sengsara euy!! Gw pernah ngalamin, and believe me relationship yang kaya gitu ga bakal bisa dibawa ke pernikahan bisa jadi neraka deh! Yah of course we need to pray to be godly woman that worth fighting for!
Eits, bukan gw bilang bokap gw ga ok karena dya non believer. Itu bukan salah satu alasan yah untuk kita ga hormatin orang tua kita yang belon percaya.. SOON they will become believer kalo kita anaknya nunjukin contoh yang tepat. Gw ini anak kesayangan dya, gw tau banget peran gw tuh berdampak besar. Bokap gw berenti rokok gara2 gw telp dya, gw bilang ani selama ini ga perna club ato rokok, untuk coba aja sama sekali ga ada desire. Ani ga perna boongin papa juga. Papa suru ani cari cowo yg ga rokok, tapi papa sendiri rokok. is it a good example dad? kalo papa masi ngerokok juga, ani ga bakal mo pulang dari spore. and you know what. HE STOP! Nyokap gw jadi spy gw hehe.. Nyokap ngomongin pun uda ga mempan, jadi nyokap ngadu ke gw. Gw bilangin bokap gw berkali2 jg ga bsa. sampe akhirnya gw telp dya, gw ngomong tegas. how much i love him and i dont want to see him waste his money and kesehatannya gara2 rokok bangke! HE STOP! He stop because of God! Tuhan yg beraniin gw ngomong frontal begitu, padahal tadi gw uda bilang kan di atas kalo gw bukan tipe org yg bs bilang sayang2an.. Dan makanya pas gw bilang gt, bkp gw super touched kali ya soalnya apa yang jarang dibilang pas dibilang will be very special :)
Walo my parents bukan believer tapi tetep harus hormatin dya.. Di bible di tulis kok hormatilah ayah dan ibumu! Di bible ga ditulis: Hormatilah ayah dan ibumu kalo mereka Kristen! ;p So honor your parens! And have the right relationship with them, believe me it will turn your life all around :)

True Romance
When your thoughts mirror God’s thoughts, and when you can say that He is all you ever really want or need, then true romance descends upon you.
This is a romance that cannot be shaken, no matter how bad your outward circumstances.
It stands in the face of every trial, every attack, and every heartache.
It brings you tears of joy and real feelings of comfort and support.
When you experience true romance you know in the very center of your soul that you are loved with the kind of love that is beyond compare.
And that love will never disappoint. It is this true romance that is the answer to all other longings for love in your life.
Without true romance, earthly romance becomes fleeting and unsatisfying,
but with it, all earthly romance is enhanced and strengthened.
Gain true romance from God alone and you will never again need to ask, “where is the romance?”

Memancing Ikan
Jika kamu memancing ikan, setelah ikan itu terikat di mata kail,
hendaklah kamu mengambil ikan itu...
Janganlah sesekali kamu lepaskan ia kembali ke dalam air begitu saja... Karena ia akan sakit oleh karena bisanya ketajaman mata kailmu dan mungkin ia akan menderita selama hidupnya.
Begitulah juga setelah kamu memberi banyak pengharapan kepada seseorang...
Setelah ia mulai menyayangimu hendaklah kamu menjaga hatinya...
Janganlah sesekali kamu meninggalkanya begitu saja...
Karena ia akan terluka oleh kenangan bersamamu dan mungkin tidak dapat melupakan segalanya selama-lamanya.
Jika kamu memiliki seseorang, terimalah seadanya...
Janganlah kamu terlalu mengaguminya dan janganlah kamu menganggapnya begitu istimewa.
Anggaplah ia manusia biasa. Apabila sekali ia melakukan kesalahan bukan mudah bagi kamu untuk menerimanya.
Akhirnya kamu kecewa dan meninggalkannya...
Sedangkan jika kamu memaafkannya boleh jadi hubungan kamu akan terus, hingga kepada akhirnya.
Jika kamu telah memiliki sepiring nasi... Yang pasti baik untuk dirimu, mengenyangkan, berkhasiat.
Mengapa kamu mencoba mencari makanan yang lain?
Terlalu ingin mengejar kelezatan.
Kelak, nasi itu akan basi dan kamu tidak dapat memakannya, kamu akan menyesal.
Begitu juga jika kamu telah bertemu dengan seseorang...
Yang membawa kebaikan kepada dirimu, menyayangimu, & mengasihimu.
Mengapa kamu mencoba membandingkannya dengan yang lain?
Terlalu mengejar kesempurnaan,
kelak kamu akan kehilangannya untuk selamanya.
Jadi, Sayangi & Cintailah pasanganmu ♥

The Husband Store
Ladies read this! This article very funny yet so classic.. Remind me that greedy is one of the most deadly sins. WISE knows that contentment comes with being grateful for the little things in life!
A store that sells husbands has just opened in New York City, where a woman may go to choose a husband. Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store operates. You may visit the store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the attributes of the men increase as the shopper ascends the flights. There is, however, a catch. You may choose any man from a particular floor, or you may choose to go up a floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men have jobs and love the Lord.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, and love kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are extremely good looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, and are drop-dead good looking and help with the housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men have jobs, love the Lord, love kids, are drop-dead gorgeous, help with the housework, and have a strong romantic streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes to the sixth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 4,363,012 to this floor. There are no men on this floor. This floor exists solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping at the Husband Store. Watch your step as you exit the building, and have a nice day!
Remember Greed is one of the seven deadly sins. You have to learn to be grateful for what you have to get more. When you are ungrateful you end up with nothing.
Luke 12:15
Then he said, "Beware! Don't be greedy for what you don't have. Real life is not measured by how much we own."
Hebrew 13:5
...Be content with what you have, for He has said, “I will never leave you nor forsake you.”

Installing Husband
Dear IT Support,
Last year, I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slowdown in overall system performance – particularly in the flower and jewellery applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.
In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programmes, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programmes such as Formula One 5.0, NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.
And now conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and House Cleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems,
but to no avail.
What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate Housewife
———————————————————-———————————————————-
Dear Desperate Housewife,
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System.
Please enter the command “http: I Thought You Loved Me.html” and try to download Tears 6.2 and don’t forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.
But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad programme that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.
Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources). Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 programme.
These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.
In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great programme, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Tasty Food 3.0, Tongue Kisses 6 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.
Good Luck,
IT Support

A Prayer For A Life Partner
Ini diambil dari notesnya Ci Grace, Tuhan masih menulis surat cinta.

2. My life partner will be my prayer partner, so together we can do "duet harmony" before God and will change our world. Matthew 18:19 (kalo yg ini ga ngerti tanya aja panjang jelasinnya soalnya ;p)

Few months ago, I thought that I will never need to pray like this again... But God proved me wrong...
The situation now forced me to start from zero again...
And I start with this prayer...
Dear God in heaven...
Holy is Your name...
Thank You for raising me up until this day...
I have been very blessed to be able to know You,
to be saved by You,
And I'm thankful for whatever I endure in this world so far...
Both the good and the bad...
Because I believe that whatever happened, it was Your plan...
(Submissiveness)
Dear God...
Today, let me utter this cry, this hope...
God, this is my prayer...
If this is Your will, let it be done in Your time...
But if it is not, please show me Your ways...
(My needs)
God, You know my need of a life partner, someone, just one man, to be my husband... and father for my children...
I need someone with whom I will build a family that will serve You everyday... (Joshua 24:15)
I need someone that when we both together, we will be more effective to serve You... (Ecclesiastes 4:9)
Since the beginnings You've said that it is not good for man to be alone (Genesis 2:18)
And You know inside out the every reason why it is not good for me to be alone...
The passion to relate with the opposite gender that You have installed in me is so strong...
I don't want to burn in passion like what Your apostle Paul advised us... (1 Corinthians 7:9)
Because love is as strong as death... (Song of Songs 8:6)
(My requests)
Your servant is weak and tired Lord...
I'm tired of the searching process that I have endured since many years ago...
I don't want to divide this heart of mine to someone not of Your choice anymore... *bigSIGH
Therefore, please Lord, if possible, that the next one will be the final one...
The one that You have provided for me...
The one who fears You and put You as number one and I'm number two... (Proverbs 31:30)
The one who can accept me as what I am...
The one whom I will love for the rest of my life as You have love the church... (Ephesians 5:25-31)
The one who will love me back in return... (Ephesians 5:22-24)
He may or may not known to me at the moment...
But when we meet...
Tell me Lord...
Let me know that he is Your choice for me...
Tell him Lord...
Let he know that I am Your choice for him...
Let the feelings towards each other grow...
(My worries, about myself)
But God...
I come with my own family background, my character,
my vision, my self...
I want to be a house wife and freelance designer in the future... Will he be able to accept that?
I have many very bad characters...
Will he be able to accept that?
Can he accept me as what I am...? And love as what I am...?
God, I still have many other reasons to worry...
And I'm really worried...
(My worries, about him)
God...
I hope that I can find a man after God's own heart.
A man that knows Your vision and Your calling in his life.
He will also carries his family background, his character,
his vision, him self...
Will his vision be compatible with mine...?
I think I'm tolerable enough, but can I fully accept
his character as he is...?
Am I strong enough to accept him as what he is...?
God, I still have many other reasons to worry...
And I'm really worried...
(Lessons learned...)
But God...
You have allowed me to learn the process of a relationship with all those that I've endured...
You have been with me always...
During all the happiness and all the bitterness...
I have learned that it takes more than just feelings towards each other...
It also takes more than just sacrifices...
And therefore I should not worry too much about all those things... Because I know, You will always be with me...
And that without Your intervention,
all relationship will not succeed...
This time, we will always keep you in our plan...
(The Hope...)
So please God...
When You finally let me meet him...
Let our future relationship ends up in a firm decision of marriage... And our marriage receives Your favor...
(Proverbs 18:22)
On that day, he will say to me:
"You are bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh"
(Genesis 2:23)
"Now, let both of us do great things for Him in the future..."
(Closing statements...)
Finally, don't worry God...
You will still be number one and he will be number two...
And I believe that he will be fine with that ;)
In Jesus name I've prayed...
Please answer this prayer in Your time...
And give Your servant a heart patient enough to wait... And let him know of this prayer too...
Thank You...
Amen...
See liat kan betapa lengkapnya prayer dari Tepen? Cewe2 pasti meleleh deh haha ;p Gak kepikiran banget sampe into detail and ayat2nya semua jelas.. Before that, my prayer list for my life partner cuma tiga ini aja..

Belajar Dari Anjing
Kalau kalian yang deket sama aku pasti tau kalo aku suka banget sama anjing, apalagi yang berbulu dan berwarna putih hehe. And my favorite is pomeranian ;) Sekarang aku punya 4anjing semuanya pom, warna putih ada 3, cokelat 1.
Satu hal yg bisa aku pelajarin dari anjing itu, determination mereka dan loyalty mereka sama majikannya :) Mari kita bahas satu2..
1. Determination
Semua anjing2 kalo lagi liat gw makan pasti duduk diem nungguin dan bisa meratap lamaa banget tanpa move.. Nungguin aja sambil keluarin tampang cengo berharap dikasih.. Haha.. Terus kadang gw ga tega gw kasih juga deh.. Bahkan kalo gw kaga kasih pun mereka nungguin terus sampe gw bawa piring ke tempat cucian.
Point yg bisa dipelajarin disini tuh, ketika kita doa sama Tuhan kita merasa kok Tuhan gak bekerja ya dan gak ada perubahan? Hayoo sapa yg merasa begitu, saya jujur merasa gitu dan ujung2nya lupa deh doain hal itu dan udah patah semangat. Tapi sebenernya gak boleh begitu, kalo kita bener2 menginginkan sesuatu pasti kita kerja usaha mati2an untuk dapetin..
(Tapi tentu aja yg kt mau harus sejalan sama kehendak Tuhan ya).
In every aspect of our life we need determination. Determination is character. Character of God. Almost every little things we need determination, even to fixed you up, to love yourself you need determination.
You may get the right partner, the right job, the right people, but if you are not determine you will lose all.
Some people need to change and some people need to determine. It takes time. Everything takes time. And theres time for everything! We need to be determine until we finish! Here as christian, we need to run and keep running! Dont stop just because you face any difficulties or any distraction. Run in such a way as to get the prize and we do it to get a crown that will last forever (1 cor 9:24-25). To finish and win, you need to be discipled to know what God expects from you and to learn God's vision for you. Refuse to be distracted. Refuse to be delayed. Refuse to be detoured.
2. Loyalty
Pernah denger kalo anjing itu cuma bisa punya satu majikan? Thats really TRUE! Gak percaya? Silahkan nontoh hachiko dan ambil tisyu.. Itu based on true story loh!
Anjing kesayangan gw namanya enzo, beli dari kecil pas kupingnya masi biru2 di tattoo sekitar 2bulanan, super lucu.. Tapi cuma main2 bentar sama dya sekitar 2minggu soalnya harus balik ke Singapore sekolah uda mulai dan libur telah usai T___T Jadilah dya diurusin sama si mama.. And paling sayang sama si mama.. Hiks.. Setiap kali pulang dari Singapore, enjo tetep kenalin gw tetep kesenengan jejingkrakan sambil gonggong minta gendong. Dya tau deh pokonya gw sayang bangettt sama dya, orang gw yg sering ajak main juga. Kan si mama ngantor.. Tapiii kalo mama manggil dan gw juga manggil, dya bakal ikut si mama. EVEN gw manggil bawa makanan loh.
Can u see that? Betapa setianya anjing??
Dog is very loyal and want to please their owners.. Yang punya anjing pasti setuju deh sama gw cause you feel it ;) Point yg bisa dipelajarin disini tuh, kita harus sadar dan tau kalo kita cuma punya satu Allah dan tujuan kita hidup di dunia ini only to please Him and glorify His name. Walaupun dunia menawarkan hal2 yg keliatannya lebih enak dan menarik. Contohnya gw tadi manggil enjo sambil bawa makanan mancing dya biar ke gw. Tapi enjo tau who is his owner and he really follows my mom ;)
You do not belong to the world. We are in the world, but not of the world - John 15:18-19
If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you.
We need to be loyal to God know that He is the God that holds our perfect future in His hands. He is the God that never disappointed you. He is the God that always give you the best. Sometimes you dont get what you want, but get what you need, which, in the long run, is always better than what you wanted. Everything in your life happens for a reason. You may not understand why but someday you will. God didn't owe you any explanation because..romans8:28!

Impact For Christ
Be an example to the believers in word, in conduct, in love, in faith,
in spirit, in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
Over the past several years, I’ve been privileged to travel with teenagers on eight mission trips. One thing I’ve learned in those excursions is that teens are not too young to make an impact for Jesus—either on me or on others whose lives they touch.
I’ve also noticed that the teens who make the biggest impact for Christ match the characteristics Paul told Timothy about in 1 Timothy 4:12. Trying to convince Timothy that his relative youth did not have to be a deterrent to his ministry, Paul told him to “be an example to the believers” in several areas.
In word: Young people who make a difference for Christ control what they say, avoid negative talk, and speak words that honor God.
In conduct: Teens who practice discretion in their behavior shine for all the world to see. In love: By taking heed of Jesus’ words to love God and their neighbor (Matt. 22:37-39) teens please Jesus and touch hearts.
In faith: Those who put their faith into action change lives. In purity: It’s tough to be morally pure and doctrinally sound, but kids who are can set the bar for the rest of us.
Paul’s words aren’t just for the young generation. All of us should be an example in word, conduct, love, faith, and purity. That’s how we make an impact for Christ. —Dave Branon
O Christians, remember, you bear His dear name,
Your lives are for others to view;
You’re living examples—men praise you or blame,
And measure your Savior by you. —Anon
The most valuable commentary on the Bible is a godly life.

For You Know Better Than I
Beberapa hari ini lagi gundah gulana *halahhh* lagi ga jelas aja ntar the next 3months bakal di singapore or indo. Gimana future ke depan terus berasa semua ga jelas gtu..
Kan aku abis quit kerja, soalnya bos offer kerjaan untuk kontrak setaon sedangkan papa gak kasih. Papa suruh balik indo terus. Bingung aku bingung. Disatu sisi uda betah banget di kerjaan itu, terus di satu sisi lagi ga tega juga papa suruh pulang terus bantuin kerjaan dya. Aku uda sempet offer ke bos, gimana kalo kontrak 6bulan dulu aja? Dya pertama uda agree, tapi ujung2nya masalah di Spass kan perlu perpanjang Spass and min tuh setaon kalo uda di penalty Spassnya sebelon 1taon bisa mahal bayarnya.. Huff
Setelah aku bawa doa, and I have decided untuk quit kerja. Dan ambil make up course di Singapore selama 3bulan ini. Praise God perjalanan cari sekolah ini mulus, mulainya Akhir June jadi ga perlu nunggu lama, langsung diterima and lucky me slot nya sisa 1org aja. Untung belon terlambat pas aku daftar thanks God..
Terus bingung gitu, abis 3bulan ini aku bakal balik ke indo ato cari kerjaan baru di Singapore? Tuhan maunya aku kemana? Aku bingung milih huhu, mungkin kedengerennya simple tapi buat aku kagak. Coz kaya mulai semua baru lagi. Di Indo harus belajar adaptasi, belajar mobil, cari gereja and komunitas dimana aku bisa bertumbuh dan kembangin talenta yg Tuhan uda kasih lebih lagi, cari kerjaan, dsb. Kalo di Singapore kan uda enak, uda ada gereja ada temen2 sel yg bantu aku saling menguatkan dan membangun, terus kemana2 sll naek BMW (Bus Mrt Walking).
Yah dua negara ini selalu ada pro and contranya sih. Di Indo ketakutan terbesar aku, aku ga bisa ke greja dan pelayanan sering2 soalnya papamamaku belon agak anti kalo aku ke gereja ato komsel, makanya pas di Singapore aku bener2 enjoy soalnya aku ga dilarang2, yah wong tinggal sendiri n jauh juga gmna larangnya haha. Aku takut di indo jadi mati imannya gak bertumbuh >< Padahal aku percaya kalo Tuhan yg nempatin aku, pasti Dya yg akan mencukupkan segalanya. Terus di indo bisa spent waktu sama keluarga lebih banyak dan who knows mamapapa jadi bisa ikud gereja, spt janji Tuhan "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved--you and your household." Acts 16:31
Di satu sisi juga masih ga tega ninggalin Singapore, tar komsel aku gimana? Terus di gereja lagi banyak yg for good ntah balik kampung ato study aboard. Kemaren pas ngomong sama salah satu leader di gereja dya bilang gini "ya uda bawa doa aja, tanya Tuhan dimana Dya mau nempatin kamu. pikirin juga baek2 Indo ato Sing. Kamu juga liat kan kalo pelayanan kamu disini masi dibutuhkan" jedengggg bener juga sih, aku masi kebeban untuk tinggalin yg di Singapore. Tapi bokap nanya terus plan ke depan gimana? Rencana apa aja blabla. Sekarang aku lagi bingung, ato benernya aku takut? Takut untuk ambil keputusan? SIGH
Bergumul dan bergumul sama Tuhan, tiba2 Tuhan ingetin lagu ini.. You Know Better Than I. Pertama kali tau lagu ini dari blognya Stephanie, disini. Tapi yah uda tau ya sekedar tau aja, tapi gak kenapa2 tuh gak merasa nih lagu bagus ato apa.. Tapi kemaren itu pas lagi masa2 downnya.. Bingung mau kemana dan kenapa semua serba ga jelas, kaya plan aku semua berantakan dan bingung harus bikin plan yg mana wong ga jelas bakal di Singapore or Indo. Bener2 lagi mencari kehendak Tuhan dimana Dya mau aku berada dalam 3bulan ini. Soalnya aku bener2 orang yg suka banget planning, abis dari ini harus begini terus begitu. Jadi kalo gak ada planning ato berantakan plannya bisa mabok teler abis.
Tapi disini juga mungkin Tuhan lagi ajarin aku, Tuhan mau aku berencana di atas rencanaNya dan kalo God's time is perfectly perfect! And He is the God that will never be late even one second. Tuhan juga mau ajarin aku bring the familiar to the unfamiliar. Ini lirik lagunya, pas dengerin kok rasanya kena nancep bener yee.. and yes God, You know better than I. My thoughts are nothing like Your thoughts!

I thought I did what's right
I thought I had the answers
I thought I chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So I put up a fight
And told you how to help me
Now just when I have given up
The truth is coming clear
Chorus 1:
You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowing
I don't know is part of getting through
I tried to do what's best
But faith has made it easy
To see the best thing i can do
Is to put my trust in You.
Chorus 2
For, You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
For You know better than I
Coda:
I saw one cloud and thought it was a sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was You who taught that bird to fly
If i let You reach me
Will You teach me.
For, You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go the need to know why
I'll take what answers you supply
You know better than I
Last Day With Loud!
Dinner di Little Vietnam sama LOUD! peeps, dalam rangka dinner perpisahan sama gw karena uda quit. Ehmm terus rasanya campur aduk, mixed feeling.. Yang pasti im gonna miss them so much :( Gw belajar banyak dari LOUD ini, baik di bidang skill design maupun karakter juga.. Walo bosnya dan colleague2nya kadang annoying benerr tapi tetep aja such a great blessings for me to work together with them..
Okay, balik lagi ke beberapa tahun lalu..
Aku lulus dari December 2009. Uda gitu langsung cari kerja semangat 45 harus dapet kerja dalem waktu sebulan. Terus sehari itu bisa kirim 10-20an resume kali, pergi interview 3x dalem seminggu tapi dikabarinnya lama euyy -___- dan sempet ada perasaan minder juga sih, and the negative thoughts come across.
Gimana kalo gak dapet Spass nya? Ijin tinggal lagi susah banget jaman2 itu.
Belon ada pengalaman kerja sama sekali euy, belon 19taon lagi apa ga mikir kemudaan? Mana gw mini size begini lagi ntar dikira anak main2 aja. Gak bisa bahasa mandarin pula padahal company Singapore semua kebanyakan maunya yg bisa chinese and inggris. Duhhh
Doa2 terus sampe ngeces babtis lantai *lebaii* tengking semua pikiran buruk dan pasang kacamata kuda. Kenapa kacamata kuda? soalnya biar ga liat kiri kanan, tapi fokus ke depan doank! fokus sama janji Tuhan. Kalao ani bakal dpt kerja dimana Dya uda sediain dan spass semua lancar. Pas cari kerja ini, gw bilang ke diri gw sendiri Tuhan ani mau jadi breakthrough! Dengan perfect faith that I put in You I will perfectly fine. Bayangin aja uda 5orang di gerejaku yg pulang gara2 masalah kerjaan ini, gak dapet2 job lah, spassnya direject terus lah deuhh sedih benerr harus pisah sama temen2 kemaren itu T_T Disini belajar untuk stand still and know You are God!
Aku uda mulai doain kerjaan dari akhir taon 2008, coz i know i will graduate on dec 2009 and I ask God that i want to get job straight away after i graduate. So i pray and ask His guidance. Pas cari kerja ini aku ada list down beberapa kriteria yg aku mau di job ini, contohnya:
-. NO over time if not necessary
Gak peduli deh banyak yg bilang, designer's life gak mgkn gak OT. Tapi aku bilang ke Tuhan, Tuhan ani ada komsel yg harus diurus, dan mau punya social life yg sehat. Jadi please ani ga mao company yg culture nya OT
-. Spass semua lancar
Jadi gak perlu keluar masuk Singapore jadi pendatang gelep pake social visit gitu bolak balik
-. Satu company dimana bisa stay for long term
Ani takut banget pergi interview dan harus pindah2 kerjaan, jadi Tuhan baek deh please give me one company dimana ani bisa stay for longggg term disana sampe suatu saat ani bakal balik ke indo
Laluuu engg inggg engggg.. Setelah beberapa kali di interview, aku dapet kerjaan bok di Graphic Master Advertising Pte Ltd (GMA), terus pas aku liat2 hasil kerjaannya aku interested soalnya emang bidangku sih. Walau sedikit sedih soalnya pingin banget kerja di bidang wedding company :( ntah napa dari dulu ngefans sama wedding2, suka aja denger cerita couples how they meet and conceptualize it. Okay back, masuk GMA spass semua lancar bok, spass di approve within a week aje padahal biasanya 1bulanan and thank God for that ;) 1minggu, 2minggu, dan lama2 saya pulang kerjanya itu selalu makin malem dan ternyata punya ternyata oh semua pada pulang jam 10an tiap harinya. Padahal pas interview gw uda tanya ada OT ga disini, bos bilang tergantung masing2. Eh pas gw join, culture OT kuat benerr mo pulang jem 6 teng tong sll ditanya2, uda beres mank blabla ato gak suru nungguin kerjaan yg lain -___- Its been a very hard time for me. Makin lama kerja makin ga enjoy ;( Tereak ke Tuhan, Tuhann ga kuatt lagii uda masuk bulan ke 2 dan kaya zombie jam 12an pulang.. Dan akhirnya saya quit.
Pas udah quit mulai deh panic at the disco, aduh mau cari kerja gimana lagi yah kali ini bener2 pengen yg lamaaaa uy yg ga ada OT sampe ky zombie. Cut the story short, Tuhan kasi aku LOUD! ini yg bener2 anugerah Tuhan banget. Spass nya keluar juga lancar, walau ada OT tapi gak setiapp saat bosnya juga pelihara kesehjateraan karyawan banget.. Terus satu lagi, ini company kristen gt wuihh ada komsel doa bareng setiap jumat jam 3-4pm. Bener2 terberkati sekali.. Jadi untuk yg mencari kerja, jangan pernah putus harapan dan selalu mengingat janji2 Tuhan ;) And God for sure will give you the best workplace!

HTA
Yakk, hari ini aku uda ga kerja lagi. Feelingnya mixed sih, bittersweet ninggalin LOUD! Kemaren last day of work ga berapa sedih2 banget sih soalnya nanti malem ada dinner sama Loud! peeps.
Kemarin uda cerita tentang broke up, nah pas lagi masa2 putus itu juga aku lagi handle project HTA yang super sibuk. Kebayang ga sih lagi sakit hati tapi harus tetep productive di kerjaan >.< Tapi dari sini juga salah satu jalan Tuhan untuk mold my character even more.. HTA stands for Home Team Academy, Sekolahan yang kurang lebih ajarin tentang ICA, Police, and government Singapore gitu deh.
Project yang aku kerjain nya ada annual report, visitor brochure, folder and CD template, and courses. Nah aku kebagian kerjain annual report and visitor brochure, which is the most important part. Super stress bok..
Dealing with Singapore's government is not easy. Demand mereka tinggi. Into the details, and very consistent.
Kerjaan masuk di akhir april, dan harus selsai printing delivery tanggal 16 May, so i have two weeks to finish all this 60pages of annual report, and 30pages of visitor brochure yang which is very impossible. Bisa kerja sampe mimisan gw =='' Soalnya butuh color proof, terus butuh prepare print file dll. Uda dibilang ga bisa sama si bos, tapi client ngotot dan sekali lagi client adalah raja jadi ya udah duehh gw kena getahnya!
My complains
Ngerjain ini sebel banget loh, sabtu minggu aku tetep masuk kerja untuk kerjain ini. My working hour dari jem 8pagi sampe jem 10malem tiap harinya begitu. Terus ini client suka ganti2 lagi, infonya dll. Kemaren itu HTA dateng ke kantor untuk bikin changes, terus jadilah aku having my lunch at 04.00pm! Pernah juga gara2 dya ngotot mau ganti dan harus beres, jadilah 60lembar dalem 2hari kerja. Itu aku uda kaya zombie deh.
My prayer
Tuhan tolongggggggg, ani bisa mati muda nih begini caranya.. Lord give me Your strength, Your joy and Your love God while Im doing this project. So I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
He reminds me
1. Ani kerja untuk Tuhan
As it is written "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men" Colossians 3:23
This the verse that I repeat to myself every single day. When I feel the frustration rising up within me, the anger and the annoyance start to bubble over I will think upon this verse of Scripture and remember that it is God I work for.. no one else. And not for money either. (Soalnya setiap project yang aku kerjain aku dapet komisi, dan my colleague told me kalo ini HTA komisinya gede up to 500SGD)
2. Do everything in love, do it with love.
Kenapa harus love? karena ketika kita ngerjain sesuatu yang kita suka pasti kita enjoy kan?! Yah, walau susah aku belajar untuk love HTA ini.. Mikir dari sisi positif kalau ini suatu kebanggan juga bisa handle big client..
3. Do not grumble and do not complain ani!
Aku paling susah banget nahan ga ngoceh. Rasanya mau ngoceh2 sampe keluar jadi naga. Tapi aku sadar kalo segala sesuatu akan sangattt lebih gampang kalau kita tidak mengeluh. 1 Corinthians 10:10!
Instead of grumble and complain, I should give thanks. My favorite verse "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Try thankfulness, it will turn your world around ;)
4. Philippians 4:13
When everything seems so hard, and impossible, I always believe that Your grace is more than enough!! I can do all things through HIM!
5. ASAP
There is work to do.. Deadline to meet..
I need to finish everything on time and without any mistake! Geezzz..
I need to do all that ASAP (As Soon As Possible). God knows how stressful life can be and want to ease our cares He will respond to all our needs.. yeah we need to ASAP Always Say A Prayer!!
Prayer is really a powerful tool and prayer really change things!
PUSH = Pray Until Something Happen
PULL = Pray Until Loe Liat!
Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. So ayukk terus semangat bekerja diladangNya Tuhan. Tuhan yang akan selalu mencukupi akan segalanya ;)
