Things I Love Monday

Hi All!  It’s been a long time since I wrote an edition of “Things I Love Monday”. This is a series of posts that I plan to write every Monday, consist of all the things that I’m grateful for this past week. Why do it on Monday? Well, everybody always says “I hate Monday”. Monday is usually considered the least favorite day of the week, maybe because it represents the end of a lazy weekend and the beginning of a hectic workweek.  Therefore, by writing this gratitude list every Monday, I’m aiming to start every Monday thinking about happy things, thus [ ... ]

Find Happiness in Simple Things

This is an old post of mine.. I re-publish it as a reminder for my self and my readers to take those small steps..  little by little build happiness from doing good deeds to others, however insignificant it may seems. And also, don’t forget to say thank you to anyone who lend a helping hand or give you help when you least expect it. From my observation, many people (especially in Jakarta) are ignorant to both acts..doing good deeds and saying “thank you” for receiving one. Let’s start a new movement in this area, starting from ourselves!  Enjoy doing those [ ... ]

A Moment of Reflection

I just realized something about me recently. I realize I’ve been so caught up in my everyday problems that I simply forget to stop and take a good look at my life right now. I mean.. Hey! Life is good, actually. I’m healthy, I have a roof over my head, a stable job (however problematic it may seems), a loving family, a beautiful city with clean air that I get to live in, and a boss who is supportive, though sometimes gave me headaches. In fact this afternoon, I get to see a real rainbow just outside my room. How about that! [ ... ]

B.E. H.A.P.P.Y

Is it wrong in my age to just live in the moment and not think much about my future.. Coz I kinda enjoy it.. *wink  It’s not like I plan this to happen, I don’t program my self to be like this.. I spent most of my age hating comfort zone and always looking far ahead to where I want to be in the next 10-20 years. That was me. But today, I’m like really enjoy looking around and focus much on my surrounding, friends, hobbies, and really just be ME in the present tense.. [ ... ]

Happy Birthday to Me..

Wow, time definitely flies.. Without I realize, today is my second birthday in Bandung.. A city I love since my college years..even though familiar faces from my college days one-by-one left me alone in this city, but the fact remains.. I never regret my decision coming back here. In my solitude I learn a whole lot about my self, get to know my upside, but especially my downside.. Bandung is like my sanctuary, where I can think. Something that the busy, fast-paced city of Jakarta can’t provide. Maybe it’s not the city but the lack of familiar faces hence the decline [ ... ]

Things I’m Grateful for in My Life

Aku bersyukur pada Allah  SWT telah diberi kesempatan hidup di dunia, terlahir Islam, rahmat hidayah saat aku akil baligh, kesempatan mempelajari Al Quran, keteladanan Nabi Muhammad SAW, kepintaran, kesehatan, fisik yg sempurna, keluarga yang mencintai ku, rizki yg halal, dan segala berkah yang telah diberikan seumur hidupku. Allah SWT telah memberiku kehidupan dengan modal yang sangat cukup untuk selamat dunia dan akhirat. Sekarang semua tergantung aku untuk memanfaatkan dengan sebaik-baiknya segala modal yang diberikan-Nya untuk dapat digunakan di jalan Allah dan mengejar ridho-Nya Aku bersyukur atas keluarga yg sempurna, Papa, Mama, dan Adek, yang mencintaiku dengan segala cara, memenuhi kebutuhan jasmani [ ... ]

I Love You Full Mom!

My Mom just visited me in Bandung.. I don’t know why, but even in my age of 20-something, I still get homesick.. especially with my mother.. I miss her a lot.. Like right now.. I miss her already.. It’s not that I am a spoiled kid.. I don’t think I am.. It’s just that, beside the constant love and affection, there are little things that she always do that is funny and amusing, and like what Javanese people say: “Ngangenin” (making you miss somebody). Some of the things that “Ngangenin” about my mother are.. She never let go of her handbag. Not ever, [ ... ]
