#5. mood swing.

It's been a while since the last post :)
Today I don't have something special to share, it's just I've been through 'mood swing syndrome' these last days :p I dont know why, or what I've been into but my mood has been sooo....wrong.


So I want to use this chance to say thankyou to my besties who have been helping me get through this condition :) These are my old friends, I met some of them since I was in the 1st grade, and some of them I met since I was in the 7th grade. So I'm sure they know me best :) After we got to the college life, it's hard for us to meet again as we're all in the different universities and some of us study abroad. We use this chance to meet again, shopping, catch-up stories, trying good foods, hair treatment, and make-up lesson :p 

go on date with Cece ;)

   

dress-up night♥

The Signatures, Kempinski. foodsss!

chit chat in the middle of the night, cafe to cafe :D

learning make up! messy messy room :o

hang out and have some fun! :D

Today one of my friend is going back to Singapore, tomorrow Cece is going back to Melbourne :( and less than a month another friend will go back to China. I got more mood swing when I realized this :(

So this one is for my friend Cece!

Thankyou so much for this unforgettable holiday and really looking forward to see you soon :* be tough, have a safe flight, take care, goodluck on your study, and prepare for my visit in December or January *amen ! :D xoxo

#4. dream big, big dream.

"All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them"

--Walt Disney

HI again! :) ♥
I'm not a really wise person, not a really mature woman, not a really organized person, but I do love dreaming. Not 'dreaming' in a real context of course :p but I love to use my imagination for things, for things may happen, and using the word 'what if?' 

really want this! ♥

with my tiny pooh keychain

This is the main reason why I love Disney movies, all the characters, songs, stories, and everything in it. In Disney world we are allowed to break all the rules, use our imagination and make our childhood dreams come true. Magic, fairytales, fairies, dreams, pegasus! How i love pegasus <3 and in love with POOH. I have my pooh collections ;) ♥

Sorry for the distraction :P actually it's not the point. What I'm trying to say is, never let your childhood dreams gone away. For me, the childhood dream is the purest one. I have lots of dreams, and I know many of my dreams are not really what I want, but what the society wants, what my mom and dad want, what they really think is the best for me. I'm not saying they're bad, some things just happen for a reason and it's good.

This is my dream: I will be a doctor, still playing music, have a great family, but one thing --come back to my childhood dream, I want to make an  animal rescue center, animal center for the unlucky ones, adoption center. 

“Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.”

-Norman MacEwan

It's pathetic to see the dogs, cats, rabbits, or whatever it is, on the street. And moreover, if they're raised by unresponsible owner :( I love watching television how animals are treated in US, it's so sad how animals are treated in here. I know some people ask why I'm so considered about animals when there are still many suffering-people out there? Yes, good question, I ask myself that too :p but this is not about it, this is about my childhood dream, this is what I thought since I was small,since I still played hide and seek. If I could, of course it will be a pleasure to help others. For me, there's nothing wrong with every child's dream. As i say, it's the purest one.

Well, it's a quickview of my childhood dream :)

So guys I'd love to hear your childhood dreams, or you could just think about it by yourself :) It's not only just a dream, it can be the reality. We have this one chance of life, live it up and do our best, be the impact, be the salt and the light! ♥

Hello everybody <3
On my first post, I already mentioned that I'm an animal lovers :)
So...
Today i'm gonna introduce you..my little fur-ball dog! ;)

First of all, this is how I found her. On the 2010 holiday, finally my mom and dad agreed to buy me one puppy (after a long long time,really) :p I love browsing about dogs in my spare time, so when my mom and dad agreed, I already have a picture of my future dog in my mind. I love siberian husky, golden retriever, samoyed, and...I think I love all dogs ;) But with all the considerations about the space needed, I decided to buy a small dog.


One day, I went to a pomeranian kennel near my high school. At that time, the breeder said there's only one puppy left and she didn't really recommend it as one of the puppy's leg is injured.The breeder came from inside the kennel, brought a super hyped little white puppy. The breeder was right, the puppy couldn't walk well, but the puppy loves people, it came to me, wagging her small tail and love to jump around. After visiting that little hyped white puppy, I went to another pomeranian kennel. At the second place, there are two little cream puppies. Honestly, these two look more fat, more chubby, and the fur was so 'ball' :p They were soooo cute. But it's like I already fell in love with the first one. So I went home and talked with my parents. I insisted to buy the white one, yet my parents consider about the 'injured leg'.


About two or three days later, I went back to the first kennel and paid the dog. The breeder even gave me a cheaper price than usual as the dog has injured leg. I still remembered the day, September 13rd 2010. I named it Shiro as in Japanesse means "white". I know Shiro is like a male name, but actually Shiro's a female ;p She was borned on May 27th 2010 with the real name "Shizuka". So at that time I brought her home, she was about 4 months old.

"I just got home!"

baby shiro's milk, food, tissues, hair lotion, etc

She's just only around 20cm length. Everytime I opened her cage, everyone would sit on the floor as everyone's afraid that they may stepped on her. She loves jumping around, and really loves eat time! She stands on her two back foot like a pro :D

"I will get that food whatever it takes!"

During Shiro's playtime with my friend's dog, Beardy! :)

And here she is, getting bigger and bigger.

And now, time flies and she's already 2 years old :') Sometimes I feel sad, and I feel like a mother whose child grown up already :p She's about 40cm length now. She loves camera and she's really spoiled. She could do 'sit', 'stand', 'walk', 'hand', 'sleep', 'stay', and 'dance', I'm a proud mother! :D

"my bday cake! :9"

It's fun to have pet and I learned many things from her. Sometimes she's angry, trying to attract my attention by doing weird things or barking all the time, but she never fake her feeling. I know girls love doing this so much, so do I :P
And dog would never betray the owner, dog would sit down patiently without complaining, dog would forgive in a second count and loves the owner again --not same as before, but more than before  :) you see, there are tons of lessons we can learn from them! :D


Well, i guess that's all for today. Goodnight everybody, high paws from me and Shiro! xoxo ♥♥♥

#2. when heart speaks.

"The brain is the most outstanding organ. It works for 24 hours, 365 days, right from your birth until you fall in love."

Many things happened in the last two months. And it's still happening till today. I think it's good to share and I hope it could be a lesson for all of us. :)

It will be so longgg if I have to tell you from the beginning, but in a simple way, I 'have to' lost someone --who has been a part of my life in the last almost-a year. I feel like everything turns upside down. Some of us maybe know this feeling, the feeling I can't describe in any word, as it's not just a normal 'hurt' or 'sad'.

I was so busy with my ambitions lately, that I forgot who I am, and Who-Created-Me. I lost in my dreams, I lost in all my activites, trying to pursue all my high-expectation-standards. I got so 'drown' that I didn't realize I was moving away from the 'right track'. And i knew, things didn't work well at that time, I knew I could do much better, but there's always unexpected things happened. It's like a sign from God, but I heard my heart more. I've been through months of wasting my tears, trying to fix things, wishing for a miracle to come, and keeping my self run from the reality i couldn't change. But there comes a time, I realized that nothing else I could do, except pray. 

In one point I'm too tired and I gave up everything. I gave up in my relationship. It's VERY HARD to let go.


I lost the person. Hello memories.

my drawing: strangers again. got so depressed at that time :p

Well yeah I still get in tears everytime I think about this, yes even now :) but you know.. "When we live and put our trust in God, all things fall into right places". Like a puzzle, I'm reassembling my broken pieces, my parts of life, happy-sad times..all of them from a new beginning. And I know my life's getting better, I'm stronger, and I'm waiting for the perfect plan He has prepared for me. 

This is one of my favourite quotes based on Bible that taught me many things. I always look into this since I was in the ninth grade. I dont know but why but I feel calm and safe everytime I read this. Maybe it could be one of your favourite passage too ;)

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity

to accept the things I cannot change;

courage to change the things I can;

and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;

Enjoying one moment at a time;

Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;

Taking, as He did, this sinful world

as it is, not as I would have it;

Trusting that He will make all thing right

if I surrender to His will;

That I may reasonably happy in this life

and supremely happy with Him

Forever in the next.

Amen

--Reinhold Niebuhr

If you ask me how I'm doing with my life now, I still put the name of the person I lost in my prayer, I know God has the best plan for each of us. And I decided to give my heart a break. I'm sure my heart is tired with all the drama I've been involved in :p

So that's all I want to share with you guys, sometimes only in our weaknesses we could see how we depend on God. And if you're having hard times, hugs from me, and believe me 'only on cloudy days you can see the rainbow' :) cheer up and moving forward!

Last but not least, this is a super-good quotes I got from a friend. Goodnight people :) ♥

"A woman's heart should be so hidden in God that a man has to seek Him just to find her" 

-Maya Angelou

#1. this is where all begins.

"In music the passions enjoy themselves."

-Friedrich Nietzsche

Hello everyone <3
this is my first favourite thing: MUSIC.

THE JOURNEY

My mom and dad already took me to private-piano teacher since i was 2,5 years old, so the first thing i learn is not the alphabet, but the notes :D I live with music as my partner, my friend, my family, and a part of my life that would never be replaced with other hobbies.

I've been playing piano since then, and i learned violin in the 3rd grade. but then..this is where all begins. one day my piano teacher told me about 'a-rare-musical-intrument-called-harp' (which is i already knew but I never thought I would have the opportunity to learn). I was so so so excited, then I got the phone number of Ms. Heidi Awuy, the beautiful-leading-harpist in Indonesia. And around one month or two months later, i went to her place, and started the lesson without buying the harp first. My mom and dad wanted me to really sure if I would learn harp or not, as we know the price is really-horrifying :P

So after having lesson around 6 months, i got my first harp <3 in 2006! This is my dark-brown "Artone" 38-strings harp, around 160cm height (almost same tall as me at that time) :p I had a great journey with my Artone :D but it's hard for me to carry it by myself.

This is my photo taken at a wedding in 2009, time flies so fast :)

HighEnd-The Masterpiece Fashion Show 2010

I started to browse on harp in internet since early 2011, looking for a smaller and better-sound harp, with reasonable-price of course ;) I fell in love with the 27-strings Salvi "Juno" and 27-strings Camac harp. But it's just the 'reasonable-price' still too much for me, so I buried all my intention to buy it.


One day in May, I got problem as three of my Artone-strings were broken and I got a concert in the August. I could just buy the strings, but it still has to be shipped from Europe. And God's good! Out of nowhere, I found someone in Jakarta who could help me in the buying harp and taxes, so finally I bought the 27 strings-mahogany-Salvi "Juno" from Vienna. "Small but mighty". I really in love with this Juno till today :) I often bring my Juno to my part-time jobs, and people love it.

Well, it's where all begins with music :D I'm still learning on guitar and i love playing with the glockenspiel, it's just so dreamy-sound :D


Many people ask me if playing harp is difficult or not, I can say it all depends on you. And I'm sure practice makes perfect :D I do encourage kids, young people, or old people to learn music --whatever it is, as it's just not a hobby but it could help you express yourself. Some of the researchers also say music could improve your brain function ;)
let's have fun and learn together! :)

my first post ♥

Hello this is my first post and i'm getting so excited! ☺♥

people ask me why i decide to start 'blogging', well everything's started in this summer holiday. I think i wasted most of my time doing nothing, then one day i read my friend's blog and i thought it could be fun.:) I want to share my life, my happiness, my journey, my story, my sad part of life, and my everything. I do think my life is God's blessings and worth sharing as He had done so much ah-mazing things in my life :) and and i hope it could be a motivation or inspiration for all the people who read it ♥
