Blessed Sunday

What a blessed day.. I am not working today. =D

So today, as usual, my family and I went for morning mass and then, we walked out separately as I continued with some church activities while my family went home.
Praise God that I've been used as His instrument to reach out..

Anywho, after the meeting of Legion of Mary, I went for a talk/sharing on being single and following God's calling in our lives. However, it wasn't as much as I was expecting it to be, but in terms of sharing, it was okay.. Spent almost a day at Church today. Supposed to come home at 3PM, but the talk went on til 4PM ++ so I decided to go home at 4PM. And I supposed to accompany my mom for swimming but I was so tired and sleepy that I slept til 6PM and it made her not wanna go to swim anymore.. *My bad..*

At night time, at first wanted to meet up with some friends from Junior High School, but since I didn't make it for my mom, so I decided not to go for this reunion as well. I feel bad to mommy..
So here I am now, just sitting in front of the computer, and typing this post..
Planning to pay a visit to a friend in the hospital though.. he's having a diarrhea..

You know when you're used to working all day, and when u're not, you feel something's empty.. hoho..

My 23rd Birthday. 23.23.08.10

Thank you so much for all yourBirthday wishes. That really made my day =D

Thanks to Mommy who gave me this as my bday present ;)

Been hoping to have this since long time ago.. ^^,

Afgan at Score

Afgan was here a month a go and here is some pictures taken from my Phone camera..
Went it for free, thanks to Mr. Aan from Sampoerna A Mild! The actual ticket costs Rp. 200,000. We saved Rp.400,000! ;p I just spent Rp. 70,000 for food. Not to bad compared to Rp.200,000.
Anyway, my brother and I went together. Without my bro, I wouldn't be able to go cos it was late at night ;)





The lighting was good, wasn't it? :)

Hotel guests

- Me, Pauline and Sandrine-

They're French who are working with TOTAL Indonesie for a project..
Here, I took them to a local Chinese restaurant for un petit dejeuner..

- Mr. Kooiman and Madame Elizabeth -
(Remember that Mr. Kooiman was on my blog before? And yes, he was back here 2 days a go! Really surprising, but I was indeed so glad to meet him again.)

- Las Tasardos -
They're really great performers!

The job and the whole thing about it.

Last 2 weeks I was terribly disappointed at my working environment. The people were just hopeless.
At that point of time, I was totally in bad mood, not feeling like working anymore. This is most probably due to the amount of emotions that have amounted to the max capacity. Until I decided to quit this job by end of this month, just asap.
But I prayed again about it.. So happened that that week was a 9-days Novena prayer together with the whole community of 'Bunda Perawan Maria'. Few days before it happened, we started the prayer and I sent to them my intentions as well as to some friends with whom I prayed with.

One of my intentions was for my future, and especially to be able to further my studies..

And this happened.. and when I told to my parents that I was going to quit, my dad gave me some suggestions on a few things that I could do after I quit the job..
(My dad doesn't like the working hours of my job, but he questioned me when I told him that I wanted to quit the job.. )
Anyways, the ideas were so attracting. Yet, as much as I love his idea, I still have my own plan and concern on my financial. I've grown up and worked, obviously if that's possible, I don't want to get a whole financial support from my parents.. But looking at my salary at this point of time, this is not going to work for me..
I was thinking if this is something related to my prayer all this while.. (I've witnessed myself that Novena prayer never fails, btw).

Having finished the 9-days Novena, my friend and I decided to continue the prayer.. I agreed and I continued praying until today, but with a different Novena (Novena Hati Kudus Yesus). After praying about the job, I decided to quit by end of next month..

Nevertheless, it is not my will be done, but Yours be done (Luke 22:42). Until last weekend, things changed. All of the sudden, I felt like I should stay here longer..
1. It's not good for my CV
2. The people could actually be nice. They perhaps are just 'like that' (if you know what I mean) - politics at work.
3. I am weak when it comes to music! We're having this singing performance and I joined them once, and honestly I enjoyed it. I do enjoy singing anyway. haha.. Can't wait for Christmas carolling though. Lol.

However, if there's a better choice, I'd still go for it. =D

God can really make your day perfect, as perfect as your downs turned to be your Ups!

God bless.

Happy 65th Independence Day, our Indonesia!

This morning we had a Flag ceremony at the hotel.
It was really nice being a part in the ceremony after -+6 years since the last time I had a National Flag ceremony..

God really blessed the whole ceremony, though it was cloudy and soon going to rain, but everything went well. The rain got to fall down once after it was over. :)

Then as for me, I went straight to gym, went home and back to the hotel, for Work!

Jiayou!

ps: Hopefully, all the prayers spoken were really the intentions of everyone, especially the government and others who are involved in it. Amen.

Bday Wish

It's been few months since my last post..
I've been thinking to encourage myself to write daily on God's blessings to me. But laziness always covers that up. :|
And this time, while I am not busy at work and I have the courage.. I shall post something here!

The Month of August has finally come again, which means that I am soon going to be 23 this year!
I often see people when it comes to their birthdays, they will have a list of birthday's wishes, mostly on goods / stuff that they can't (don't want to) get on their own. So by having it listed, they wish that someone somehow will give it to them as the bday gift. No offense, this is interesting, isn't it? :)

So then I was tempted to do the same. You can imagine, there are lots of good stuffs out there right now. IPhone! Big Digital Camera with higher quality zoom! Fashion!
But then again, this thought always comes into mind..
which is I shouldn't expect for goods as my bday presents. If I were to do that, I'd be a person who focuses on worldly things. "Do not love the world or the things of the world" - 1 John 2:15
For the world is not-conserved while God is eternal and everlasting.

And now my wishes shall also be eternal, that is to follow Him and be open to His calling, Amen.
Not to forget on this beautiful and courageous verse as well: "Let us not grow tired of doing good, for in due time we shall reap our harvest, if we do not give up" - Gal 6:9

God bless.
