He Had Prepared Everything...

Beberapa hari kemaren aku sempet baca-baca halaman diary sebelum aku pindahan dari Lippo Cikarang ke Surabaya. Trus barusan ini, mumpung pas lagi online dari kos (hidup isat-eco! walau kadang dirimu ga stabil, tapi ya sudahlah aku kan tipe yang nrimo hihihi...), aku baca postingan-postingan blogku soal yang panik mau pindahan itu: di sini...

Pas sekarang udah ngejalanin, baru ngeh beneran kalo emang ternyata Dia udah siapin semuanya dari awal... Tapi pas waktu itu aku keburu panik coz aku masih belon bisa ngeliat apa yang udah Dia siapin di belakang layar =p

You know what? Semua kriteria kos yang aku pengen (aku tulis di diary) itu ada di kosku yang sekarang... plus ada beberapa tambahan hehehe... Aku kan pengennya kos itu yang deket ama kantor biar kalo bisa siy jalan kaki aja, kamarnya yang rada gedean, sirkulasi udaranya sehat (ga pengap), deket ama paling ga minimarket atau orang-orang yang jual makanan biar ga susah cari makan (soalnya itu kan daerah perumahan, jauh dari pusat kota)... Semuanya terpenuhi... kamar kosku yang sekarang lebih gedean dari kamar kos di Lippo Cikarang, ke kantor tinggal jalan kaki 5 menit-10 menit, deket ama Indomaret 'n orang-orang jual makanan (waktu aku survei pertama kali itu kan pas libur lebaran, pantesan jalanan sepi 'n ga ada yang jual makanan hihihi... aku dah panik, aku kira beneran ga ada orang-orang yang jual makanan di daerah situ), dapet nasi sepuasnya, bisa pake kompor gas kalo mau masak, 'n juga bisa ambil aer dari aqua galon di dapurnya! 

Kamarku di lantai 2, jendelanya ada kawat khas gitu jadi sirkulasi udaranya sehat banget hehehe... Trus di tengah-tengah rumah itu ada halaman 'n beberapa taneman 'n pohon... jadi sejuk hawanya... Plus, ada sepeda pancal yang bisa aku pinjem (sejauh ini cuman aku siy yang pinjem hihihi...) buat kalo mau ke Indomaret atau ke orang-orang yang jual makanan ituh (soalnya kalo jalan kaki lumayan siy hehehe...). Trus ada ruang TV-nya, jadi tiap Senen -Jumat aku sekarang bisa nonton "Heroes" hehehe... Dan tau gak... kos ini itu adalah kos yang pertama kali disaranin ama orang kantorku yang sekarang (yang dulu aku telpon-telpon tapi ga ada yang angkat ituh, sampe akhirnya aku panik 'n minta bantuan cari kos-kosan, baek lewat cara online maupun offline hihihi...). Lah ternyata kalo tau gini kan ga perlu panik-panik 'n ngerepotin orang yah hehehe... 

Ceritanya waktu aku masih di Lippo Cikarang itu, ternyata mamaku ada jadwal ke dokter di Surabaya. Jadi dia sekalian bisa survei beberapa alamat kos yang disaranin temen-temen, termasuk dia ngecek juga itu alamat kos pertama yang telponnya ga bisa aku hubungin (dan ketemuan ama yang punya kos). Ternyata setelah dia survei siy emang dari semua aspek itu yang paling cocok ya kos ini, paling deket ama kantor, suasananya enak, fasilitas juga oke... tinggal nunggu aku aja pas dateng buat ngeliat sendiri. Ya emang bener, pas aku ngeliat kos ini berasa sreg aja... hehehe... Jadi sori yah temen-temen yang ikutan repot pas aku minta bantuan cari kos di Surabaya hehehe... I really appreciate your help ^.^ 

Eum... apa yah... jadi ngerenung aja... Dia itu sebenernya udah nyiapin semuanya 'n aku seharusnya tenang aja ga perlu panik, just like He said before... tapi karna aku masih belon bisa ngeliat semuanya dengan jelas, aku jadi panik 'n ga percaya ama Dia, yang bikin aku akhirnya buang-buang energi 'n pikiran sendiri =p Aku baru bisa liat semuanya dengan jelas itu sekarang hehehe... Waw, I'm just so amazed with You God...

Will Be Busy

Start from next week I will be busy working on the web... Well, not the programming things, but I have to prepare my office's web....

Godaan 'n Renewing Our Mind

Selama beberapa hari lalu otakku sempet "hang"... Sampe kalo diinget-inget sekarang aku juga jadi heran kenapa yah aku bisa sampe mikir se-complicated itu hehehe...

Pas lagi "hang" itu aku sempet sms ke beberapa temen tentang beberapa topik yang occupied my mind. Thanx to Ms. D yang sincere, simple and to the point hehehe... She made me realized that what I was going through this time is just a matter of seduction... iya, godaan...

When I was in my previous place, one thing that I worried about was my family. But now, when I'm close to my family, there's another worry coming in. I guess it's true... Manusia emang ga ada puasnya hehehe... Udah disuruh bersyukur dan menikmati, tapi malah mencari-cari hal untuk dikeluhkan... Udah disuruh hidup di hari ini, tapi malah mikir yang mbulet-mbulet jauh ke depan padahal besok ada kejadian apa aja kita masih blom tau... hehehe... pijei toh yo...

Abis gitu sempet baca diary, ternyata oh ternyata... Dia udah ngasih bekal buat ngadepin apa yang aku lagi rasain itu sebelum aku napak di Surabaya... Like that's not enough, pas aku baca-baca halaman-halaman sebelumnya lagi, jadi nyadar kalo He had poured His blessings upon me so much more than I had imagined and more than what I had asked before... WAW...

So abis itu repent dah hehehe... Emang yang namanya renewing our mind itu kudu jalan setiap hari... kalo ga gitu otak jadi complicated hehehe... Thank You God... You really are my Guardian... 

...and thanx to Ms. D for the simple but nonjok words hehehe... and also for your friendship   

I'm Back on Track...

Recently I have many self centered thoughts... I also have many worries because I was thinking too far =p

Yet He is faithful...
He reminded me of my past experiences with Him that I wrote in my diary...
He revealed to me how it feels to be in a person's position -who I had been trying hard to understand and forgive- which I has just experienced myself... until I really get it...
He reminded me of His promises and His words...

So... I repent and I'm back on track...  

Are Our Troubles a Blessing or a Curse?

(by Dan Miller)

Like most of you, I have been hearing a lot of personal examples of “disaster” this week. No gas, no job, no retirement fund, worthless stock, cancelled vacations, and general uncertainty. Rather than trying to create something profound I’d like to share this old story.
Once there was an old man who lived in a tiny village. Although poor, he was envied by all, because he owned a beautiful white horse. People offered fabulous prices for the horse, but the old man always refused. “This horse is a friend, not a possession,” he would respond.

One morning the horse was not in the stable. All the villagers said, “You old fool. We told you someone would steal that beautiful horse. You could at least have gotten the money. Now the horse is gone, and you’ve been cursed with misfortune.”

The old man responded, “Perhaps. All I know is that my horse is gone; the rest I do not know. Whether it be a curse or a blessing, I can’t say.”

After fifteen days the horse returned. He hadn’t been stolen; he had run away into the forest. Not only had he returned, he had brought a dozen wild horses back with him. Once again the village people gathered around the old man and said, “You were right – what we thought was a curse was a blessing. Please forgive us.” The old man responded, “Perhaps. Once again you’ve gone too far. How do you know if this is a blessing or a curse? Unless you can see the whole story, how can you judge?” But the people could only see the obvious. The old man now had twelve additional horses that could be broken and sold for a great deal of money.

The old man had a son, an only son. He began to break the wild horses. Unfortunately, after just a few days, he fell from a horse and broke both his legs. Once again the villagers gathered around the old man and said, “You were right. The wild horses were not a blessing; they were a curse. Your only son has broken his legs and now in your old age you have no one to help you. You are poorer than ever.” But the old man said, “Perhaps. Don’t go so far. Say only that my son broke his legs. We have only a fragment of the whole story.”

It so happened that a few weeks later the country went to war with a neighboring country. All the young men of the village were required to join the army. Only the son of the old man was excluded, because he had two broken legs. Once again the people gathered around, crying because there was little chance their sons would return. “You were right, old man. Your son’s accident was a blessing. Our sons are gone forever.”

The old man spoke again. “You people are always quick to jump to conclusions. Only God knows the final story.”

And so it is with our lives. What we see as a blessing or a curse may simply be part of God's preparation for what lies ahead. Be careful in seeing “disaster” in any change. Just recognize it as change – which opens the door for good as well as bad – for gain as well as possible loss.

I’ve spent 20 years seeing people go through unexpected and unwelcome change – and have enjoyed seeing most move on to more opportunity, freedom, fulfillment and income.

Early Days @ My New Office

Phewww... It's been ages! Finally I can get online! ^.^ Yea well at least that's how I feel hehehe... I haven't been online for about 2 weeks but since I'm an onliner, it feels like a decade! hehehe... a little dramatic =p

Actually I want to post a poem and an article before today, but I can't upload them because there were errors in my USB. So I will try to upload them again tomorrow.

Anyway, I have been staying in Surabaya since last Tuesday (28 October), I stayed early on purpose so I can get used to the new environment. I borrowed a bicycle from my dorm owner and I went over nearby roads, but so far, the nearest shopping place I can reached by myself is only Indomaret hehehe... I'm still trying to find any friends or ways so I can explore (and memorize!) the routes and public vehicles to get to places at the city centre, such as TP and Pasar Atom hehehe... 

I also have aplied for Isat-eco so I can get online from my dorm with my notebook. But I haven't given the last document they needed for approval. So just wait hehehe...

My work? I guess I won't be too busy, most likely these early days, because the website haven't been launched yet... The programmers are still working on it. Meanwhile on Wednesday the chief editor and me will go to the programmers (outsource) to check how far it's going.

The sad thing is... I still can't get enough sleeping time at night T_T I really need bolster (guling) T_T So here I am waiting desperately for a bolster from home that my mom will bring to me 2 weeks and 3 days more to come T_T I need you dear bolster... desperately need you...   

Jeda Dalam Hening

Hening datang mendahului pagi
Kadang dia menyapa dan menitipkan temaram di hati
Kadang dia tinggal sejenak dan sodorkan tanya
... tentang dunia di balik kata “setelah itu”

Hening datang tanpa diduga
Serupa dengan wajah sunyi yang menggantung
Dia hanya duduk di sana...
Membiarkan nyanyiannya mengalun sepanjang malam

Hening datang membawa jeda
Jeda antara masa lalu dan masa depan
Satu masa yang terlindung dari detik-detik yang memburu
Sisipkan nafas baru pada jiwa yang lelah berjalan

Hening datang dalam bayang misteri
Dia seolah-olah bisa membuat kita merasa waktu terhenti
...sejenak... hanya dirinya yang terlihat...
Walau sebenarnya dia tak pernah sendirian

Dengarlah... jangan biarkan matamu terpejam
Ada Seseorang berdiri di balik hening
Seseorang yang menantimu untuk bangkit
Memanggilmu mendekat dan memulai perjalanan yang baru

.....

Hening sepertinya datang tanpa makna
Tapi dia bukan kekosongan
Jika saja kita memandangnya dengan jeli
...dan membiarkan dia berlalu saat jeda itu usai...

Learn to Embrace the CHANGE

Right now I’m facing a few core changes in my life... A new season... new city, new dormitory, new job, new people to meet and work with, new things to learn and get used to, everything almost new to me. Even though I have lived in Surabaya before, in my high school and college years, but both of them were located near the city centre and their location were also kind of familiar to me. But in my new environment where I’m living now is a whole new place for me...

Yea... change might not always comfortable (sometimes scary =p), most likely for a kind of stable person like me, but like the words I’ve ever heard, “Change is good” hehehe... and honestly, I’m on my way to embrace those changes. As long as The One who never changes is walking with me, I think I’m gonna be just fine =p

I’m gonna re-write (with a bit of editing) an article by Susan Squellat Florence below, she wrote a great insignt about CHANGE:

Life doesn’t always turn out the way we planned. In fact, it almost never does. In work, our relationship, and expectations of how things “should” be... there are changes. We are afraid of change, but it happens anyway. We don’t seek out time of change but it happens anyway. We want to see, know, and understand what is happening to us. We think we can control our life. But ultimately, we can’t.

When we accept that life is full of changes and unknowing times they bring, we move beyond our fear. We will be able to begin a new journey of hope and opennes to what life brings. We grow with change. Times of change help us discover within ourselves a profound strength. We challenge ourselves to become deeper as we learn to live with uncertainty. We become more whole.

Times of change shift our life focus. We will begin to see things as they really are. By being open to new possibilities, we will see more than we’ve ever seen before. We also will see things that are truly important and meaningful to us. 

Change is a place of seeing beyond the life you had planned into new possibilities of what life can be.
Change is a way of growing beyond a person you thought you were into a stronger person you will become.
Change is a time of leaving a safe place where “you know” and entering a strange place where “you don’t know”.

Do not be afraid of change. Remember that the most insightful times are times of change. Within change come the seeds of new life. A dry farm land that had been destroyed by the heat of summer, will eventually grow again after the rain. Like the seasons, our life turns over and over again... Sooner or later, you will understand that life is not only full of changes, but life itself is a change...    
 
I’m so inspired... Eummm... but there are two cool changes, I have a new notebook from my dad =p hehehe... and also a new I-pod shuffle from my dear, beloved IT guys... =p Phewww... hehehe... Now I’m waiting for my I-sat Eco to be activated so I can be (soon) online from my dorm... so I can browsing, reading online articles, make some downloads, chatting, and also blogging!!! Boy, how I miss that last one! Hehehe...

Temporarily Offline

I might not have a chance to be online for a while, due to my moving to Surabaya. 2 hari perjalanan di mobil, survei kos-kosan baru, melajarin rute jalan, mudik dulu bentar, ke Surabaya lagi, mulai kerja... phew... a lot of changes and I think I need time to adjust myself and learn new rules and habits. So I still don't know my possibility to get online. But I will be online as soon as I can =p 

However, I have a plan to get online from my new dorm at Surabaya. So I might need your recomendation for the best and the most economic unlimited internet connection =p Which one do you think is best? I have information about IM2 unlimited, but it needs credit card for its payment, I need more practical payment method, if there's another option... Do you have one?
