Balikin oh oh balikinnnnnnnnnn...!!!

2005-05-22T20:08:00.000-05:00

SEbellllllll sebelllllll sebellllllllllllllll huhuhuhuhuhuhu...rasanya selama di surabaya, aku dah seperti kambing yang dicucuk hidungnya and dibawa kesana kesini and mesti nurut.... everyday is full of activities..I am very tireddddddd of everything.. udah nggak ada lagi masa istirahat seharian memanjakan diri...No moreeee!!!!!!!

Makanya gimana nggak sebel cobaaaa....itu masih mending deh, sekarang I dun even have time and mood to apply for jobs. First, I dun have time cause my parents always ask me to go out with them and meet my relatives. Second, I dun have mood at all.. ya iya lah..gimana bisa ada mood kalo istirahat aja nggak sempet, udah kecapean and alhasil ya udah nggak mood apply deh...Duh rasanya susah banget ya untuk mengucap syukur dalam sehari...

I was so tired this morning, biasanya jam 6 pagi bahkan jam 5 pagi aku dah bangun, tapi khusus malem ini, aku bangun jam 7:30, gara2 kemarin mesti keluar kota ketempat sodara2ku..and karena kita keluarga besar, maka hinggaplah kita dari rumah satu ke rumah yang lain sampe baru bisa bobo jam 12 malem.Badan rasanya remuk juga,badan and muka rasanya cepel banget. Eh begitu bangun langsung nyokap mau ngajakin ke doa jam 10 pagi ini.. hahhhhhhhh bengong nggak sih???!!! Dun get me wrong, I'd love to come but not with badan seremek ini and I love my parents and my big family but this is just too much. Dan untuk yang pertama kalinya, I insist to say no, soalnya kalo nggak, bisa KO gue. Gimana nggak, ini aja sakit belum sembuh total...huhhhhhhhh...
aku jadi pingin nanyai lagu: " balikin oh oh balikinnnnnn..hidup gue kaya dulu lagiii.."

But after so many trials yang bikin hati gondok and capek (ciehhh..!!) akhirnya the good news came from my honey. He decided to go back to Indonesia earlier...cihuiiiiiii!! akhirnyaaaa!! and the best part is, maybe we can celebrate my B-day 2gether... Thank you Lord!!! Seneng and sekaligus was2 juga sih, soalnya I know kalo dia pulang Indo he will face the same problem like me and he will be busy, so he won't have that much time like where he was in states.. In regard of this, aku serahin semua ke Tuhan deh.. karena aku percaya Tuhan itu setia and Dia mengasihi and memperhatikan hidup ku and andre. Itu aja sudah cukup membuatku tenang.

Second, good news, 3 more days to singapore..arghhhh panik jg sih abis belum siap2in pake baju apa ya entar...of course aku mau tampil secantik mungkin donkkkk..tapi takut salah kostum nihh...*sigh*..on the 27, bakalan ada great singapore sale...mau mau mauuuuuuuuuuuuu... asyikkk..I wish I can go with my honey..hehhe biar dia capek nungguin aku belanjaaaa hauehauiehuaie..tapi gpp deh..sama nyokap juga seru kok..:):)

ohh i need to start applying for jobs, it's hard because I need to adjust to the way Indo people apply for jobs. uiaehiuaeuihuiaeae mereka minta pas foto segala booo ihihihi lucu aja rasanya...
Anyway..that's it for now...things I need to learn: sabarrrrrrrr sabarrrrrrr sabarrrrrrrr...; mengucap syukur and bersukacita senantiasaaaaaa...( I think i feel better already :P)
ok deh ciaooooooo everyone...

after 5 days in surabaya

2005-05-18T18:40:00.000-05:00

Ever since I just come back from US, my life was very hectic until now. I was busy taking Yuli seeing town and I was busy arranging my sleeping time. Despite that situation, I was busy with my family activities.

I miss my honey so muchhhhhhh..especially on Wednesday morning, he sent me an sms that he miss me so much. He went to my x-apt in chicago and called my name as if I were there. I was at Rio' villa when I received that sms. I feel so sad. I cried alot. I miss him so much....everytime I think about my apt in chicago, I cry because I remember our sweet memory in that apt. A place where we built each other, mad at each other, laughed at each other, cried, and expressed our love to each other. I wish everything won't change forever....
When he told me that he sold the water container in my chicago's apt...I cried a bit because that water container was from him...and he gave it to me because he wanted me to drink more... that's why I cried....I wish I can keep that water container...:(
thank God everyone was still sleeping at that time.. so no one noticed what happened to me.. that morning. I was so quite eversince. I think I become quiter eversince I arrived in sby. I am not like who I was before... maybe part of me is still sad....
Ohh I long to edit another picture of me and him, but since I was very busy I can't do that. I remember that I use to edit picture and proudly present the picture to my honey. He is very good in giving comment and advice for me. He always supports and pushes me to be more creative....even when we are miles apart, he always make himself available for me... *jadi terharu nehh*

Well, that's about my feeling lately... another thing that shock me is news about Indonesia.. The condition of this country is worse that what I usually heard of in states. I was so shock and sad at once. I feel quite guilty because I never pray for my country while I was in states. I think it's because my life is very comfortable there..maybe this is why God put me in Indonesia...

Another news, when I come to prayer meeting this morning, the pastor preached about God's faithfullness. I feel like God was reminding me that everything happened for a purpose and when I haven't gotten a job until now, it is his answer to my prayer. This is the best situation for me and God's timing is right because He is faithfull. Thank you Lord...

I think that's it for now...I hope that God will give me more wisdom and guidance for my life... I hope that God will bless my relationship with my honey too :):).. Honey, take care ya....jaga kesehatan jangan sampe sakit....banyak istirahat yaaaaa....and cepet balik ke Indonesiaaaa... Tetep setia and cinta Tuhan..cause he loves both of us with His unconditional and unfailing love... He is for us and not against us...Yang sering2 telp yaaaaaaa haiuehaiuehaiueuiae :P:P

ciaoooooooo******woof woof

I miss you like crazy

Chiang Kai sek airport, Taiwan, 8:20 am

Finally the day has come, the day when I have to go back to Indonesia for good. Honestly until now, I still can't believe this. After 5 year in United States then suddenly here I am in Taiwan airport on my way back to Indonesia for good. But again, I also know that I am going to Indonesia with God's promise in my hand. He has promise to deliver me from my current circumstances.

This is so ironic, I've waited so long to get a job in US and just when my OPT expired and my grace period expired too, I got a job offer, then it becomes too complicated for me to apply for H1-B visa. Ain't that ironic?? I learn a lot from this experience especially when I need to surrender my will unto God and take God's will instead. It's not easy, it is super hard, but then I know and I believe that it is the best for me.

But still, I will never ever be ready for this. I feel so sad when I have to leave US, all my friends and especially my honey for i dunno how long. He has been my inspiration these past 2 years and I'm thankful for every memory that we have as a couple. The moment I step my feet into the airplane in chicago, I know for sure that our live won't be the same again until we get back together. Even rite now, I can still feel the warm of our last hug in airport on that day. I cried a lot that day, I can't control my emotion. I am torn and exhausted inside out. I tried to sleep in the plane, but before I can sleep, everytime I close my eyes, the thought about him always come out in my mind.

Surabaya, 15 May 2005, 9:51 pm

Today is my first day in Surabaya. I was pretty sad when the airplane just landed in Juanda. I cried a bit, because I suddenly remember my honey in states. I realized that we are separated miles away. The hot and humid air suddenly rush into my body when I was outside the plane. The airport was very hectic and full of TKW from Taiwan. My feeling changed from sad to half sad half excited. This morning, when i woke up, I still can't believe that I am in Indo. I thought everything was just a dream. I ate a lot because my mom cooked very delicious food, I miss my honey again cause we used to eat together in my house and now he isn't here. Then, we went to my grandma's house, Supermall and PTC. From there, I had a massage. It was quite painful. I think it's all because I haven't had a massage for so long. Then after a short nap, we went to church and just come back now. Yuli is in Surabaya, I met her and the purdue surabayan gank in PTC and church. Yuli is going to stay over at my place. I quite excited cause we will go together tomorrow with the sby gank.

well, I guess I have to accept this fact and start to push myself to adapt to this situation. I am glad that I have many people supporting me through this situation, especially my honey and my family. I love them so much. These people play very important role in my life. My honey helped me a lot during my preparation in states. He has supported me physically, mentally and spiritually. He always be there for me. I just hope that our relationship won't change or at least if it does change, it won't change that much. I am glad o have him by my side. He is more than what I could ask for. I am so sad that I can't see him playing drum in the church again today. It makes me sad. Hopefully he can play well today and glorify God with his talent. I just pray that God himself will enable him. I think that's it or now. I am very sleepy, I almost felt asleep in the church (sstt..dun tell anybody) . got to sleep now...tomorrow will be a long day with purdue surabayan gank....Talk to you laterrrr.. have fun in Chicago, honey...take care...I miss u...

My Simple and Sweet Valentine's day

2005-02-16T00:50:00.000-06:00

Happy belated Valentine's day diary,

teehihihihihihihi...I was so glad and happy that I could spend valentine's day with Andre. We didn't do lots of things on that day but I just feel that I was so lucky that we could celebrate V-day together. Well, the day itself is not a big issue because for us everyday is V-day :)... but since the world consider that as a special day to show and share the love, we just participated huiaheauiehaiuehauie....Anyway, I know that some couple can't spend V-day together because they live so far away from each other and it's just impossible for them to spend V-day together. I know that there is that posibility in my relationship with Andre, that's why I consider myself lucky. Thanks to God. What did I do on V-day?? It's a secret :P:P:P *wink*

Anyway, I talked to my mom and my family, too. We turned on the webcam and chatted for quite a long time, but it was nice cause we could see each other through the webcam. I think all my family member gain weight except my youngest brother, but he is taller than me now! How embarassing *sigh*!

Ok just want to share that..V-day was awesome! (Andre, thanks for everything, thanks for every effort that you made to make yesterday so special for us! Thanks God for arranging every things so we can still spend V-day together). Tomorrow I am going to Lafayette (finally!). I want to spend my time with my friends and especially my brother. That's it.
I think I need to sleep now..bye Diary.. c yaaaa...next time....

Ola Diary,

I am so sleepy right now, laying on my bed, but i want to write something first before I sleep. hmm..actually nothing special happened today, went to PM in the morning (it was awesome!), clean my apt, watched collateral, then finish the rest of the day in my room dealing with my computer until now (boring? not really, I enjoy it so much ).

well, tomorrow is Sunday and as usual, I'm going to church. I will be ushering tomorrow, and actually tomorrow will be Andre's first time doing ministry as a drummer in CCB. I am totally excited for him (yeeeahhh!), I think it's been a while since I watched him play a drum. I know it's his passion and I'm glad that he can use his talent to serve the Lord. So..we'll see tomorrow :) Pastur Chris is coming with his wife, I think he is the one who will preach tomorrow. Dody farewell is tomorrow too. Most probably I won't be back to my apt until late night tomorrow. *sigh* Oh boy, tomorrow is gonna be a long long day.

Finally, Valentine day si cominggggggggg...yuhuiiii... I am very excited too. hauehiuae...and i think you know why..(*wink*) hhehehhehe... but before that, I need to focus on my activities for tomorrow :) and go to sleep now..I believe it's gonna be a great day tomorrow..c ya diary..

It tastes very very good :)

2005-02-12T02:02:00.000-06:00

Hi Diary,

haiehiaue I am so happy today, well actually nothing special happened...:P. I cooked "tempe goreng tepung" and it's really delicious.. (that's what people said too :P) then i ate that with vegetarian Indonesian curry (since I'm still fasting) and salted fish. WOW it's HEAVENLY (although it's not as delicious as what my mom usually make).... I guess I miss Indonesian food so muchhhhhhhhhh..hikz!
Andre was here (that's another reason why I am happy :P)..dunno why but today we made fun of each other and laughed a lot ..which is good haiuehiuae..I think that's because we really had nothing to do...hauiehiuaehiuae
After that we went to CG. The material was about "Unanswered Prayer", God doesn't answer our prayer because: first, It againts God's will, second: It's not the best for us, third: We are not ready. And if I can add, fourth: because God wants us to see our true character.

So be patient and stand firm! Live by faith and not by sight!..hhehe that's my motto..anyway diary, just want so share that tonite, I'm so sleepy, need to sleep ASAP cause tomorrow I have to go to PM and need to wake up early. Ok dehhhhh...c yaaaaaaa....

Very Powerful Verses

2005-02-08T13:09:00.000-06:00

Hellooooooooooo diaryyyy ^_^

Right now I am on my bed..*thinking*..hmm since sunday my life has been very flat..nothing exciting happened..so nothing much to share. Today, I just want to share a very powerful word of God which has been a great blessing for my life.. I remembered several days before I went to USA for the first time, we were having a celebration and my mom invited a preacher and she preached about these verses. I still remember clearly in my mind cause these verses has been a guidance for me while I am in states until now. Although I am not perfect but I keep trying to do His words :) The verses are ---------------*drum roll pleaseeeeeee* ------------- hehhehe

Ephesian 5:15-20

" (15) Be very careful, then, how you live–not as unwise but as wise, (16)making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. (17)Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is. (18)Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. (19)Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, (20)always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ "

That's about it. Tonite ci Tanfie invite me to her house to have chinese new year dinner together with several people.. we are going to eat shabu2 tonite :). dohhh..need to diet and need to be more diligent!!! have to finish reading my small business book !!!!...And thank God, Andre found his SIM card already *fiuh*
Oh I'm very happy that vicky has a blog too, so we can keep up with each other life..since I rarely go to laf now..miss laf people so much especially my CG people and my dearest brother, Yafet! *hikz* but I think I'm going there soon with Andre...^_^
ok dehhh...it's 1 pm and I feel so sleepyyyyyy *hoamm* ..I can't fall asleep now!!...that's it.....c ya laterzz...

Navy Pier and Bowling :)

2005-02-05T23:07:00.000-06:00

Hi Diary,

I am very very happy today, another great day... but first, let me start from Friday, last friday, we went to moody founder's week. Tony Evans was preaching that day and it was awesome. I think God really put His heart's desire to him. Btw, Tony Evans is one of Andre's favorite preacher. So it was good. He spoke about how we as God's people should really focus on doing his will and purpose for our life. Doing His purpose is primary and other things are just secondary. Set our heart and eyes to that purpose. Second, we have to make an impact to our surroundings, our generation. They need God's love and they need God himself. We have to be His ambassadors to impart Jesus to their life. Usefulnees defines our value. The more usefull we are, the higher our value will be and the more God will trust us. So really focus to do God's purpose in our life until we all die or until He comes to this world. Amin.

ohh and also.. Andre shaped me a lot this past few days.. He builds the other side of me.. He wants me to be more business oriented and prepare for my future. Well, i dun like to get out from my comfort zone and do things that i dun really like, but i think he is right since this is important for my future, i need to kick my laziness out and start pressing forward. Thank you so much, ndre!!

Then today, we went to Navy Pier ( which is my first time going there) since the weather is so nice. It was pretty good although most of the attractions were close. We ate ice cream (again!..) but it was good. Then actually we wanted to go ice skating but the temperature suddenly drop then we changed our mind (sorry Adi, Angie and Wijaya!). But at the end, we went bowling, it was fun too since we didn't play bowling for quite sometime plus it was indoor. We were having lots of fun today.

well that was today.. need to sleep early cause i need to wake up early too tomorrow morning. ok deh..bye for now diary...c ya...........zzzzzzzz......

Shop 'till U Drop

2005-02-02T22:04:00.000-06:00

Hi Diary,

I'm back.. hehhe I spent my saturday at home and went to PM in the morning, then sunday, I went to church and went shopping after that... very satisfied thanks to my honey.. he is so sweet, he took me to aurora premium outlet and not just took me but he was happily accompanying me through the whole shopping thingy and because he is so excited, I become excited too. We ate this big ice cream at cold stone but it was good (at least forthe first few bites). I was a wonderful day and I enjoyed it so much...yes... I had a great time that day..Thanks honey :)

Then, I went to KKL's house and spent my time there until tuesday morning. Yess...I played with his daughter Becky (man..she si so cute and adorable but so spoiled too).. too many to describe here, but to make the story short, we (again) went to mall near their house accidentally. What I mean is we actually dun know if it was a mall, I want to go to marshall fields and foudn out that it's connected to a mall. So there we are! On tuesday, we went to my apt and went to this job fair which turned out to be nothing because none of the company had an opening for engineer.

Then today i just did the usual ritual, now I want to read my small business book ..increasing my knowledge and preparing for my future...then go to sleep..k that's it diary.. c ya tomorrow..

a SMOG??

2005-01-29T13:52:00.000-06:00

Hi Diary,

sorry for not writing these past few days.. where should I start? Thursday, nothing special happened. Friday, Andre was here for CG. We watched "Raising Helen" and found a very interesting term in the movie which is " A Sexy Man Of God" . hauiehaiue I laughed a lot because of the term and was teasing my roomies and encourage them to find not only a man of God but also a sexy one like the movie said.. hheheh we then abbreviate the term become a SMOG. Then, after watching the movie, we went to CG. The CG was really late and honestly, I felt so sleepy not because the speaker is boring but because it was so late. I wasn't feeling well also and it got worse on the way back to my house. Basically after I arrived home, I was just go straight to bed and tried to sleep. Oh and I called Indo because today (well yesterday in Indo) was my father's b-day. Happy B-day daddy!!!...

Today, I went to prayer meeting, it was awesome and I felt blessed. God revealed a verse and suddenly people was just praying about it and God revealed a verse to the other person too and then people prayed about it.. It was awesome, we could really see God was among us and He was just speaking to every single person in that place and everyone was so united in prayer. It was awesome, really!!.. I can see when people make themself available, gather and really seek God's face, something will happen for sure.

Now, I am laying on my bed, feeling not well again, i dunno why. I dunno what to do for the rest of the day.. maybe just take a rest and read the small business book. Super boreddd..but tyring to survive...and always give thanks....

i think that's it diary..c ya tonite maybe or tomorrow...

Obedience

2005-01-26T22:18:00.000-06:00

Hi Diary,

Hey you know what?? I just realize today that God has been spoken over and over again to me about obedience... these past several days, in the church, in my daily devotional, in the CG, in the car when we listened to a sermon ..all the topic was points out to the word "obedience"....

I know this is a very hard thing to do but this is the key for restoration, this is the key to enter into more of His plans..This is what pleasing God... I honestly feel that sometimes I've been naughty and disobey God. When He told me to pray about certain topic during prayer meeting, sometimes I didn't do it. When He told me to do certain thing, sometimes I doubt whether that is God's voice or just my imagination... Well I'm not perfect, still learning and I believe that in order to hear God's voice clearly, we need lots lots of practise maybe tons of them, and we need to have a very intimate relationship with Him...hmm...If God repeating himself, it means that the message is really important and I have to do it... so aye aye God, I do my best to obey you, please give me the strength, boldness and grace.

Besides that, nothing very special happened today, oh Andre was here and we went to michigan ave and I really want to but a pair of shoes but the price is soooooooo expensive so decided to take it slowly and buy it another time.. who knows I can find a cheaper one..rite?!.. I had fun and I think Andre too. He got lots of new stuffs.. man, he shops more than me.. hehhee.. but I don't mind as long as he is happy, besides he has been wanting to buy those stuffs from long long time ago.
Ok Diary I think that's it for today...want to sleep now...c ya 2morrow..zzzzzzzzz...

Perfecting Holiness

2005-01-25T23:12:00.000-06:00

Aloha Diary,

Well nothing special happened today.. just the usual stuff that I need to do everyday. The fasting went pretty well..except I need to force myself to start eating more spiritual food that usual.. I remembered what Philip Mantofa said "Eventhough the food is really good but if the portion is too small, then there is something missing" I feel that it's very true.. when u read a bible, eventhough you got a rhema but if the portion is to small then it's not enough for your spiritual growth, you will lack of nutrition to grow.

That's why, eventhough I read a bible everyday, I feel that it's not enough, if necessary I need to start consuming some supplements (sermons, Christian books, etc). I need to eat more food to grow and start eating adult's portion.

During this 21-day fasting I want to work on that area and ask God to draw me closer and closer.. Anyway the second day.. God talked to me through 2 Cor 6:16-18 ; 7: 1. To set my self apart, touch NO unclean things, then He will receive me and He will be a Father to me and I will be his sons and daughters. Then Paul explains that what I need to do is to purify myself from everything that contaminates my body and spirit, PERFECTING HOLINESS out of reverence for God. What a great promise !!!... To be His sons and daughters means I will inherit the kingdom of God, it also means that my Father will share His heart desire to me cause I am His daughter. It means that my thoughts and wills are aligned with The Father's. Have you become His sons or daughters??Awesome rite?? I know that I am not perfect but Paul said PERFECTING means it's a process.

ok diary that's it ..tomorrow is another awesome day I believe..and I am so excited about it.. need to sleep now....zzzzzz....c ya tomorrow diaryyyyy...

Temporary vs. Eternal

2005-01-24T22:27:00.000-06:00

Dear Diary,

hmm where should I start?? Ohh ok.. today is the first day to fast but something happened.. hikzz.. i failed to fast today... the plan is we want to fast like Daniel, so we can't eat meat, snacks, sweets, chocolate, etc for 21 days, basically just plain vegetables and fruits... I thought this is going to be easy..cause i rarely eat meat anyway... but if it's easy then it isn't called fasting..

First it went pretty well, I decided to eat indomie this morning because I was too lazy to cook plus I'm not feeling well. I applied for jobs and then called Andre. When I was on the phone with him, I looked at my pineapple cookies (nastar) and ate one cookie. When Andre knew, he reminded me that I can't eat that.. I was totally forgot..because all I remember is we can't eat meat that's it. Then I realize that, when we fast, the devil will work harder to make us fail. The fasting seems pretty easy for me at first, I put my nastar near my bed long long time ago but I'm never so tempted to eat it until this afternoon. Haiyah.. I decided to keep fasting because it was an accident. Then, second temptation came from my roomie because she brought home tamales...ohhhhhhh I can't resist mexican food... I asked her to bring home some mexican food if she has mexican food for lunch. She doesn't know that I'm fasting, until I told her. But then I decided to eat the tamales anyway... haiyohhhh.. so bad riteeeee... well I feel bad too but I promise that I will do better next day.. This is the result if you take something lightly and not seriously. Now I know that I need to take this fasting seriously.

But the good thing is, when I read my bible this morning, God remind me about 2 Corinthians 4:16-18. Although I face many troubles, God wants me to just remember that those are temporary and through this I will achieve an eternal glory that far outweight my troubles. So I will fix my eyes on things that eternal (unseen) instead of temporary (seen) and not to receive his grace in vain. Wow awesome rite....Yes, of course, cause He is an awesome God.
Waiting for more of Him tomorrow.. so excited... hopefully I won't fail again... I think I need to sleep now. Miss my boo or huba so much...*sigh* still have one more day before we can see each other again.. Oh he bought me personal heater..Why? (it's a long story, you wouldn't want to know)..isn't he sweetttt???...bye for now, diary... zzzzzzz...

What a day...

2005-01-23T21:14:00.000-06:00

Hi Diary,

Hari ini dimulai dengan terlambat ke gerejaaaaaaa..OMG...gini ceritanya... karena minggu ini nggak pelayanan aku jadinya bisa berangkat siangan, wahh mayan hepi sih bisa berangkat siangan soalnya kan biasanya pagiiiiii banget jadi rasanya jadi kurang bobo gitu... terus...eh pagi hari ini, kok sampe jam 10 anak yg mestinya jemput aku belum dateng..ternyataa gara2 semalem storm, mobilnya dia ketimbun salju parah sekali, sampe dia mesti shovel2 and scope2 dulu.. and it took him about 45 minutes to do that.. can u imagine???? the church starts at 10 am and ini tuh 10 am aja not even berangkat dari rumahnya.. yah mau ngomel juga nggak enak soalnya rada2 nggak kenal ama orangnya lagian bukan salah dia juga kan kalo mobilnya sampe ketimbun segitu parah.... yah anyway.... udah gitu alhasil, aku baru dijemput around 10:30 an gitu deh..itu belum lagi jemput temen2 di tempat lain..pokoknya nyampe2 di gereja tuh khotbah dah mulai walaupun baru sih...but ya bersyukur juga bisa nyampe dengan selamat..

abis gituuu.. tadi khotbahnya really2 blessed me so much deh.. Pastur Rony khotbah soal rahasia supaya kita bisa menerima restoration..yang pertama: Identify the areas that need to be restored..yang kedua: Ask and Think..yang ketiga: Obedience is the key to restoration... I think it's pretty simple...It's a blessing for me cause aku sadar kalo aku nggak mau cepet puas and merasa everything is ok.. I realize that there are so many things in my life need to be restored by God....I want to be more aligned with God...I have to align my thoughts and my ways with God's thoughts and ways so His will can be done in my life..I believe that this is a year of breakthrough for me...

And then, Andre, Loreen and I went to Woodfield Mall.. yesssss..u r rite... finally, I got a chance to shop!!! Got 2 skirts and a very cute cardigan from forever 21.. well, I'm quite happy with that.. and since the mall close early on sunday, I have to control myself not to get a pair of shoes...very happy..thanks to my andre who had been patiently waiting for me and Loreen..I'm sure most guys knows how painful it is to wait for girls to shop especially in forever 21 hauiehaiuehuiaeuiae...hikss. won't be able to see him until this wednesday...
O ya, Andre and I will start fasting tomorrow for 21 days...we will fast like Daniel and really2 seek the Lord.. and I'm looking forward to share what I got from Him through this blog (if it's not too personal of course). So so so excited about this..I feel that God wants to speak a lot to me and I am so excited for this...
Ok got to go for now.....c ya tomorrow diary.....

Dear Diary,

Hahahaah hari ini seneng banget deh...eventhough I have to stay at home the whole day but that's because I want it :) . Rencananya sih mau istirahat dirumah aja, abisnya lagi sakit and diluar lagi winter storm booo (hikzzz padahal dah banget banget nih pingin shopping, denger2 semua toko lagi pada sale!).. tapi jadinya malah nggak sempet istirahat and malah have fun bareng my roomies (Loreen and Dwi) bikin SIOMAY BANDUNG hehhehe (thanks to Ronaldi alias Ronce yang ngajarin kita). Wuah siomay nya asli enak boo..cuman masaknya lama banget..huh capek juga...

O ya I skipped my prayer meeting this morning and I kinda regret it now :(.. tadinya skip ya gara2 mau istirahat tapi kok malah enak2an makan siomay sih..(de~~)..terus ..terus.. ohh lucu banget deh.. Andre was here to spend weekend together but he ended up sleeping the whole day becuse he drank nyquil at noon...hehhe langsung deh tepar... and itu obat asli dahsyat banget..masa aku pake hairdryer dideket dia, he didn't even wake up or move his body..terus my roomies were vacuuming the whole house and he didn't wake up too.... hauiehauieh .. it was quite funny actually ngeliat dia yang biasanya always aktif eh tiba2 seharian tidur terus.. (hmm wondering what he will write on his blog tonite hahhaha:) since he has no activity at all).. but then I woke him up around 5 pm and he eventually woke up , helped Loreen and the other 2 guys (Ronce and Welly -> he wants his name to be mentioned here :P ) to scrap the snow from their cars...well, he went home after that.. Oh thanks to welly again who helped Andre to shovel his car out.. so sweet...I'm touched...and... now it's just you and me, diary....
Wuahhh just ate a siomay...feel very satisfied with it .. and I'm so full.. hhehehe need to sleep early today cause tomorrow I need to go to church quite early... ok deh diary.. c you tomorrow nite....sweet dream (for someone out there too:) )....
