There is a reason why I have never update this blog again... I have a new home, my own dot com :p You can visit me at www.callmefay.com.
It's been so great blogging here.... But I need more flexibility and I also have now being a freelance graphic designer. Feel free to browse my designs at My Portfolio Site. So... see you there... :)
Everyone has a past which consists of both sweet memories and bad ones. In the past, we have done mistakes, we have some hurtful moments, we have regrets at some points... And most of those things cannot be changed nor rewind.
There is no use of thinking "if only..." as those things have already happened. Keep thinking of it just make our life controlled by regrets, and it is not the right way to live in His truth.
As His children, we have the power to choose. He taught some simple prayers about the 3 time line in our life:
- "Give us today our daily bread" which points to the present
- "Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors" which points to the past
- "Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one" which points to the future
God wants us to have faith on the Truth He has revealed to us and act based on that faith towards our present, past, and future.
He wants us to live free. Free from regrets, bitterness, anger, sadness, disappointments of the past. Free from worries of the future. Free to live day by day because of His grace and mercy (Lamentations 3:21-24).
Make your decission, and live free!

This is the acoustic version (Rainstone Remix) of "Nobody" - Wonder Girls. I downloaded the instrumental music from 4shared.com and I recorded it with my voice, plus some picture slides :p Enjoy :)
Sebenernya dah dari rada lama siy pengen speaker portable mini buat iPod ato laptop biar suara lebih kenceng, cuman karna emang ngerasa belon perlu banget jadinya ga beli. Tapi baru-baru ini ada file mp3 yang penting banget buat didengerin 'n ada video tutorial yang suaranya kecil, jadinya aku pake earphone 'n berasa ribet aja. Lagian sering-sering pake earphone kan juga ga baek buat telinga.
Jadilah mulai browsing-browsing speaker portable. Pertama siy naksir Divoom iTour-10. Setelah bandingin harga dari beberapa seller, nemu yang harganya paling murah 115 rebu di Kaskus. Tapi pas dihubungin ternyata lagi out of stock 'n masih gatau kapan restock lagi. So aku cari alternatif kedua, nemu portable speaker mini yang laen di Kaskus juga. Aku cuman nanya-nanya spek 'n bookmark page-nya.
Alternatif ketiga nemu mini speaker yang seri stargirl, skully, catgirl, dkk gitu. Ada lumayan banyak online seller yang jual, harga juga bervariasi. Akhirnya nemu yang paling murah (coz lagi harga promo sampe 10 November aja) 60 rebu. Akhirnya tadi deh deal beli mini speaker yang stargirl. Kalo nurutin laper mata si pengen beli 1 lagi hehehe mumpung harga promo... Tapi pikir-pikir lagi ya mau buat apa punya 2 :p Sekarang tinggal nunggu barang nyampe deh... Ntar kalo udah nyampe aku review lagi. *wink*

1. Recognise God created everything
In the beginning there was nothing, and God created (Genesis 1:1).
2. Recognise God owns everything
"'The silver is mine and the gold is mine,' declares the LORD Almighty" (Haggai 2:8). "Every animal of the forest is mine, and the cattle on a thousand hills" (Psalm 50:10). "The earth and the fullness thereof belong to the Lord and all those who live within" (Psalm 37:21).
3. Realise we cannot serve two masters
"No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other, or be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money" (Matthew 6:24).
Gara-gara maybe kecapekan plus ga jaga makan plus ada alasan laen seabis pulang dari Tangerang, tenggorokanku sakit 'n batuk-batuk... Yang parah kalo pagi baru bangun tidur or malem, sampe cape batuk mulu 'n ngeluarin dahaknya... So otomatis kurang tidur 'n beberapa hari jadi kurang produktif banget T.T
Udah rutin minum lo han kuo ama aer anget + lemon ga ada perubahan berarti, sempet juga coba 2 harian minum FG Trosches, tapi berhubung masih sakit banget kalo nelan, akhirnya tadi siang ke klinik spesialis THT ditemenin Mel. Dokternya bilang merah banget tenggorokanku waktu diperiksa, katanya infeksi di bagian dinding tenggorokannya.
Dah dikasih resep 3 macem obat. 1 kapsul racikan. Harus sembuh!!!

Seminggu penuh mulai dari tanggal 10 Oktober sampe 17 Oktober kemaren kan lagi stay di Serpong Tangerang... Selaen suka mie ikan (mie dikasih abon ikan) yang dijual di koperasi deket penginapan, nemu lagi makanan Jawa Barat yang aku kangenin: nasi uduk ama lontong sayur hehehe.... Mie ikannya itu abonnya ga terlalu amis jadinya mau, apalagi mienya enak, sehat tanpa msg, banyak sayurnya juga. Kalo nasi uduk ama lontong sayur adanya pagi doang, bapaknya juga jual gorengan tempe mendoan ama bakwan. Tempe mendoannya ga ngalahin deh uenak tenan :p
Minggu kemaren abis jalan-jalan seharian ke WBL a.k.a Wisata Bahari Lamongan trus nyambung ke Maharani Zoo. Tiket masuknya buat ke 2 tempat itu sekaligus per orangnya 60 ribu. Kalo cuman ke WBL doang tiketnya per orang 45 ribu. Ada macem-macem wahana, kita maen Crazy Car, Sepeda Air, Bom-bom Car, Rumah Kaca, Texas Cinema, de el el.
Aku pake modem Matrix sejak akhir taun 2008 sampe sekarang. Dulu pas awal dipake lancar-lancar aja 'n kenceng. Cuman yahhh.... tambah ke sini tambah sering bikin bete. Udah 2 bulan terakhir ini koneksinya rewel abis. Cuman kenceng beberapa menit pertama abis gitu tepar. Kadang mau konek lancar beberapa jam di pagi doang, siang sampe malem ga bernyawa. Kadang malah sebaliknya, pagi ga bisa tapi sore beberapa jam bisa sebelum malem koit lagi.
Barusan nonton acara Jelang Siang di Trans TV as usual. Ada liputan kuliner di Bali, salah satunya coklat produksi lokal Bali "Magic Chocolate".
Abis itu iseng browsing jadi pengen nyobain 'n ngebandingin deh antara Magic Chocolate ama Coklat Monggo. Kalo coklat Monggo buatan Jogja. Di Surabaya sini cuman Mirota doang yang jual.
Iya... I know that Hudson was out from IMB last night. Tapi dia tetep favoritku coz bakatnya unik 'n orangnya humble. Semoga dia tetep humble 'n terus berkreasi 'n tambah sukses in his calling. Semoga kerendahan hati 'n keramahan khas orang Jogja ga ilang walopun udah beken... Amin :)
Ajang-ajang pencarian bakat benernya bagus si... Tapi concern aja knapa smua harus ditarik ke Jakarta...
A man had a drinking problem. Before a bottle of wine, he is virtually powerless. He knew he had to break the vice so, for a start, he started reading medical journals to know more about the evils of drinking. After reading enough materials and being convinced of the hazards of drinking, he immediately vowed to stop reading medical journals.
This is the last day for me to enjoy my time at home sweet home. Tomorrow, like it or not, I have to go back to Surabaya. Back to the routine at my dorm. I wish the distance between my hometown and my dorm at Surabaya can be more closer :p Of course, Suramadu bridge has shorten the length between them, but still it feels so far (1 and a half or maximum 2 hours by motorcycle, average speed).
It's the third day I stay at home because of fever and flu. It started on Sunday morning, but I'm gradually better since I took Panadol, Neozep Forte, and Lo Han Kuo tea as a medicine. Of course I didn't mix them all together. I took Panadol 3 times in Sunday and 1 time in Monday morning after meals. Then I took Neozep Forte 2 times in Monday afternoon and night. In between, I drank Lo Han Kuo tea. Lo Han Kuo is the common tea I drink whenever I have sore or dry throat. This morning I woke up with so much better condition (though my throat is still kinda sore and very dry, the fever is all gone) but I still take Neozep Forte until my influenza healed completely. So is Lo Han Kuo.
Pas semalem sebelon tanggal merah libur Lebaran me 'n my fam kan nginep di Surabaya. Miky ditinggal di rumah dalam keadaan gelap gulita, coz kita berangkatnya sekitar jam 7 malem gitu 'n semua lampu dimatiin. Kasian... dia kayak ngerti gitu, masa sebelum kita berangkat dia kan ga ada. kita cari-cari eh ternyata dia duduk di mobil.... kayak mau ikut gitu... Tapi terpaksa kita tinggal, makanan dah dipenuhin di piringnya, nasi + ikan ama whiskas juga. Nah kita kan nginep di Surabaya 2 malem tuh... Balik ke rumah sini hari Sabtu kemaren lusa.
Yup... Libur lebaran tinggal bentar lagi, harus siap-siap tenaga buat jadi kuli di toko + rumah juga coz pembantu pada pulang. Kalo taun lalu mamaku masih bisa angkut-angkut barang 'n jongkok buat ngebungkus 'n ngiket dus, sekarang ga bisa coz kakinya masih dalam proses penyembuhan. So it's gotta be me, termasuk juga nimba air dari sumur buat nyuci baju.
Mudik ntar bener-bener full kerja fisik kayaknya. Jadi mikir kayaknya kudu mulai siapin body nih secara aku kan kerjanya pake otak mulu di depan laptop, ya ama pake jari siy hehehe... Tapi kan kurang gesit coz banyakan duduk kan... Niat mo senam tiap pagi ah...upgrading dulu biar ntar ga kaget fisiknya langsung kerja rodi gitu :p
Judulnya berjuang demi masa depan hehehe.... Bulan ini ada beberapa hal yang terjadi. Yang bikin down ada, yang bikin sedih ada, yang bikin bingung ada, yang bikin bimbang ada, yang bikin panik ada, yang bikin seneng ada, yang bikin sumpek juga ada. Yah jadi ngambil kesimpulan ngadepin apapun emang kudu legowo, kudu tetep bersyukur 'n berharap ama God... coz:
Bahwa aku tertindas (afflicted, tertekan, ada beban) itu baik bagiku, supaya aku belajar ketetapan-ketetapanMu. Mazmur 119:71
It's because the last Tuesday my friends asked me to join them to visit Bakpo Telo in Lawang. In the car we talked about various resorts in Malang like Taman Dayu, BNS and Jatim Park. We plan to visit them but haven't decided the dates yet :p But I'm excited! So I browsed about "wisata Malang" and found the exact site name with that keyword, the site written in Indonesian and it has complete information about Malang tourism: the resorts, hotel recommendations, culinary venues, craft centers, etc.
Looks like because I'm writing articles about traveling, all I want is to travel and it's started to come true LOL... It's true... this year I traveled to Bakpo Telo, and in October there are plans to go to Bali (with my church friends) and to Jogja - Solo (with friend from Ponorogo and Semarang, but this hasn't been decided yet). I really want to visit other cities like Jogja, Bali, and the nearest from Surabaya is Malang. Hopeful hopeful ^.^
I'm not too interested to travel abroad... well at least for now... 'cause it's expensive, need passport or visa, etc... But if I can afford and I go together with close friends, I wouldn't say no :p
Siang tadi aku ama temen-temenku dadakan jalan-jalan ke Bakpo Telo di Lawang. Berangkat hampir jam 2 siang dari Surabaya. Sampe sana kita beli gorengan, bakpo telo, 'n aku juga nyobain mie kuah telo yang reviewnya pernah aku liat di Jelang Siang TransTV (kalo ga salah). Pengen nyobain rasanya kayak apa hehehe...
