Marry Your Daughter

Very soon I'm hoping that.. 
I Can marry your daughter 
And make her my wife 
I want her to be the only girl that I love for the rest of my life 
And give her the best of me 'till the day that I die

I'm gonna marry your princess
And make her my queen
She'll be the most beautiful bride that I've ever seen 

I can't wait to smile 
When she walks down the isle 
On the arm of her father 

Isn't that very sweet? This is one of the sweetest song I've ever heard!! I'm so touched and agree with Sylvia says, which girl doesn't want this? I know this song from her blog, here. Alrite, call me a hopeless romantic girl. Yes, I am. I am in love with love :P And how I adore love story with great ending!

Since the day that we met 
I'm scared to death to think of what would happen if she ever left
So don't you ever worry about me ever treating her bad 
I've got most of my vows done so far 
So bring on the better or worse
And tell death do us part 
There's no doubt in my mind

I really love this song, the lyrics is so beautiful! It's true to every words and this guy must be very sweet! My favorite sentence, Im gonna marry your princess and make her my queen.. AWW! And here is the video, do enjoy!

Weeping Is No Longer Enough

Do you guys know about Miley Cyrus? She's ex-disney star. Before you read my post, you may like to read this link first. And Below is a very interesting article, response to what Miley did. Source from here.

Picking up a sub sandwich today, I saw a news report on CNN about Miley Cyrus’ performance at last night’s VMA’s. I was shocked, then sickened, then saddened.

For the rest of the day, I wondered:

What kind of people are we?

What kind of culture have we created?

What do we want our children to be?

No more wondering. Tonight, I weep.

I weep for the little girl who gave us Hannah Montana and became a role model to millions of little girls across America.

I weep for the lostness of a girl who doesn’t see herself stumbling around in the dark.

I weep for the news channels that profit from their all-day coverage of a young woman spiraling out of control.

I weep for the American Idol culture that promises glitter and gold to children, then chews them up and spits them out.

I weep for an entertainment culture that celebrates the breaking of every social taboo and the casting off of every restraint, only then to turn and mock the stars that follow suit.

I weep for a tabloid culture that finds celebrity gossip and embarrassing moments titillating.

I weep for women enslaved by a false view of sexual liberation.

I weep for men (myself included) who have failed to say, “Enough is enough.”

I weep for all the times I’ve looked at women as objects and failed to see them as someone’s sisters and daughters.

I weep for the fathers of Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and all the family members of all the other women who feel they have to sexualize themselves to achieve success.

I weep for my five-year-old little girl, who twirls around like a princess and hugs me tight at night, when I think of the world she is growing up in, the world I will send her into.

I weep for the broken, messed-up world we live in.

But then I weep at the power of grace.

There’s Jesus, lifting the head of a woman of the night and sending her away into the light. There’s Jesus in a crowd, healing a woman desperately trying to cover the shame. There’s Jesus at the well, transforming a woman tossed aside by multiple men.

Weeping is no longer enough. Now, I pray.

Kalimat terakhir ngena banget buat gw, simple yet very powerful words. Weeping is no longer enough. Now, I pray. Huehehe. Nancep banget buat gw, jadi inget kadang gw suka mengasihani diri sendiri. Menangis sama Tuhan, dan mempertanyakan kenapa begini kenapa begitu. Yes, God can be move with our sincerely hearts that cry for help. For it is written in Psalm 34:18 that the Lord is close to the brokenhearted. YET, do we pray about our problem as much as we talked about it? Again, weeping is no longer enough, lets bring it in prayer :)

Let's Welcome Septemer With 30 Day Challenge

Hooop! I can't believe it this is september already :) My favorite month after December of course. Whyy? Because this is my birthday month!

I love it when my closest ones start asking me questions like, what do you want for your birthday present? Where will you treat us? etc etc etc hihi :p And receiving the birthday wishes and present *wink*

Yahh, sebenarnya akhir-akhir ini saya lagi feel so empty and lazy to do anything gitu. Lagi berasa kok hidup gini-gini ajah, rutinitas belaka. There's up and yes there's down in life. Im not in a period of having problem anyway, I just lost my excitement :( Have you ever feel that way?

And I know its soooo not good! And not healthy! And look at this blog, havent updated for quite sometimes *sigh* due to my laziness.

So I dare my self to do a simple challenge for this 30days, until september ends. Dulu ada pendeta yang kotbah di gereja singapore gw dan bilang kalo rutinitas yang dilakukan selama 21 hari secara berturut-turut dan rutin akan menjadi habits kita, he said he knew it based on the research from the psychology side thingy. I think its worth to try :)

Alrite here some challenge that I will do:
-. I will (try) do a posting on this blog everyday, and write things worth riding.
-. Pake lotion 2x sehari, pagi dan malem. Kulit gw super kering dan super males pake lotion urgh!
-. Bikin at least one scrapbook layout each day.
-. Smsin anak-anak CG gw mengenai apa yang gw dapet dari Proverbs. Kan baca amsal satu perikop satu, share yang jadi rhema ke mereka di PAGI hari.
-. Mengurangi porsi cabe ketika makan. Huks.
-. Learn guitar more often.

Wew, kayanya ini aja deh yang pingin dibenahin. Semoga saya bisa, dan saya harus bisa. Saya pasti bisa!

It's Only By Your Grace That I Could Live Today

I'am here because of Your grace 
I'am here because of Your love 
Lord Jesus, I'am so thankful for Your grace abounds to me 

Thank you Jesus, Jesus, Jesus 
Thank you Jesus 
It's only by Your grace, that I could live today 
Forever I will praise Your name

Kemarin, di mobil pas lagi otw ke gereja nebeng Ko Yesa (penilik CG saya) dia nyanyiin lagu ini. Familiar kah dengan lagu ini? Buat gw si kaga, im not music person. Gw pernah denger ini lagu baru 2x. Pertama pas di nikahan temen gw dan gw lagi tugas jadi usher otomatis gw jadi sering denger karena dipake buat gladi resik terus. Dan kedua gw denger itu dari si Ko Yesa sendiri yang nyanyiin pas si Babeh lagi visit CG gw. Ketika dia nyanyi lagu ini, gw jadi flash back ke setahun yang lalu.

Tepat pada hari ini, setahun yang lalu 29 September 2012. Babeh kecelakaan. Dan kecelakaannya bukan kecelakaan biasa, melainkan kecelakaan luar binasa huahuahua :P Yaitu kelindes truk. APA?? Yes! Kelindes truk! Dan bukan cuma sekedar truk. Truk tronton roda 6 bok!

Jadi dia lagi naik motor di daerah daan mogot gitu. Terus pas di lampu merah, kan udah kuning tuh dia berenti deh. Eh tapi ada truk belakangnya yang mungkin ga liat kali ya mo labas lewat aja. Motornya kelindes tar terlempar, tapi gak rusak parah. Nah si Ko Yesa ini kegiles bagian pinggang sono. Horror kan!

Setelah kelindes, hebatnya dia masi bisa bangun dan puji Tuhannya ada supir taxi yang nolongin. Ko Yesa minta supir taxi telpon Ko Y (pacarku :P) untuk dikabarin. Hebat banget gak sih, kalo dipikir-pikir.. si Ko Yesa masi bisa bangun, kasi hapenya and ngomong sebutin nama Ko Y ke supir taxi buat minta tolong. Jadilah Ko Y dateng bareng Ko Denny (temen satu kost) ke rumah sakit dimana Ko Yesa uda dialihkan. Singkat cerita, dokter bilang kalo pendarahan di dalam gitu, ususnya lah. Jadi mesti dibelek dan dijait. Model orang C section kali yah.

Pemulihan-nya cukup lama, terapi, pake tongkat, etc. Apalagi waktu itu Ko Yesa mo merid. Meridnya baru 24 Agustus kemaren ini, jadi kebayang donk lagi hectic siapin merid dan kejadian gini -.- And by the grace of God, ko Yesa sembuh yeay!

Dan setelah dia sembuh, CG pertama yang dia nilik adalah CG saya, yeay haha! Jadi pas lagi CG kan ada sesi sharing gitu, gw suruh anak2 gw share. Nah pas bagian ko Yesa gw longkapin :P Terus si Ko Yesa nanya, loh kok koko gak disuru sharing. Gw bilang, loh mau juga toh? Kan soalnya biasanya penilik cuma nilik dan memberi petuah-petuah di akhir CG haha. Apalagi benernya Ko Yesa tipe yang malu-malu gitu, suka senyum-senyum ga jelas.

Pas sharing itu, dia cerita loh.. Gimana dia uda deket banget sama kematian. Dan bener-bener karena miracle sama God's grace aja dia masih bisa idup. Dimana dia bisa duduk dan jalan lagi tanpa kekurangan satupun dari bagian tubuh, itu bener-bener mujizat! Terus dia nyanyi lagu I am here because of Your grace by Welyar Kauntu.



Ketika dia nyanyi, kita semua langsung hening. Dan bener-bener berasa banget kasih Tuhan yang sungguh melimpah. Ya iyalah bok, gw sampe sekarang masih gak abis pikir. Bisa-bisanya gitu si Babeh masi idup dan gak kekurangan satu apapun. Kalo bukan karena Tuhan, gak tau deh apalagi. Gw type orang yang kritis, gak percayaan gitu. Kalo orang-orang cerita disembuhin ini itu gw gak gampang amazed, cuma kaya.. ohh icic. Gw tau Tuhan itu mampu, tapi ya karena gw ga liat and ngalamin sendiri jadi biasa aja. Beda halnya ketika kejadian Ko Yesa ini, karena deket jadi ya bener-bener ngena banget di gw, kutakut gentar akan Engkau Tuhan. Bener-bener I worship the living God.

Dan pas lagi ngobrol-ngobrol ama Ko Yesa, jadilah timbul conslusion seperti ini.. Kejadian kelindes truk ini ibaratnya seperti batu loncatan aja. Masi banyak pekerjaan Tuhan yang belon selsai, jadi gak mungkin Ko Yesa kenapa-kenapa. Hauahuaha :P Bener banget loh, batu loncatan banget! Jadi belajar banyak hal juga, iman, harapan, mujizat, etc.

Sekarang si Babeh uda sembuh, belon coba olahraga berat sih katanye tapi uda bisa sedeng-sedeng lagi wkwkkw. Kemaren ini abis married, uda bisa joget-joget juga (videonya ada di IG saya :P)

Bikini Has Power

What do you think about bikini girls? Hehe. For me, gw gak pede sih pake nya soalnya saya merasa bikini lebih minim daripada bra and cd :P Kalo liat cewe-cewe yang pake bikini di Indo, kaya Bali gitu yah gw sih biasa aja tapi cenderung ke agak risih. Why? Soalnya Indonesia bukan negara bule gitu uy. Jadi walo di Bali pun, kalo orang Indo yang pake tetep ajah diliatin kan.

Jadi pake bikini itu salah gak sih? What do you think? In my opinion, depends on the place and the occasion juga yah. Kalo lu pake bikini di pegunungan or mall kan swt abis. Me, myself pernah kepikiran untuk swimming with bikini in Maldives during honeymoon :D Muahaha.

And come across this video in Ci Nelly's FB timeline. So interesting! Its no longer right or wrong wearing a bikini, tapii apakah itu berkenan? Apakah itu sempurna?? Bikini has power. What is the power? Watch this video!!



Analyst at the national geographic concluded the bikinis really do inspire men to see women as objects. As something to be used rather than someone to connect with. So it seems that wearing a bikini does give a woman power. The power to shut down a man's ability to see her as a person, but rather as an object. 

Modesty isn’t about hiding our self, its about revealing dignity. We were made beautiful in His images and likeness. How will you use your beauty?

I believe it is a loving act to try and dress in a way that helps a man see a woman as a person rather than an object. Of course men are responsible for their thoughts and actions, no matter what a woman chooses to wear. BUT we can help them when we choose to dress is certainly a worthy consideration :)

As a woman, yes we should be free to wear what we want. YET, do you want to gain attention from others with your body or with your intellect and personality? Choose wisely ladies.
