Damn, what have I achieved???</div><div><br /></div><div>Well if I have to wrap 2010 in one word it would be BEYOND.</div><div><br /></div><div>Why so?</div><div>Simply because everything that has happened to me through out this year is indeed beyond my thought and comprehension. God has shown his works in my life for sure.</div><div><br /></div><div>I Started the year with a very risky decision.</div><div>Yes, I spent the only money I had in my bank account to go on a Fukuoka trip. I shopped, I ate good food, I had a good time, while my tuition remained unpaid.</div><div>Crazy? Desperate more likely.</div><div>I tried my best to save up but I just didnt earn enough money so a glimpse of thought slipped to my mind 'maybe God wants me to come back to Indonesia'.</div><div><br /></div><div>But, I got the scholarship! Right on time to pay my tuition as I wrote on my previous post.</div><div>So long story short, my 2010 started with a beyond belief miracle that teared me out.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then I failed to go to London but I got the internship in Panasonic Indonesia instead.</div><div>Back in February, I couldnt figure out why it seemed like God wants me to go back to Indonesia.</div><div>But just as my 7th semester started and my batch mates started to get drowned in their job hunting activities, I got a job offer from Panasonic Indonesia.</div><div>AS SIMPLE AS THAT. No need for interview, no need for cv submission. I just need to submit my graduation certificate and I can work there.</div><div>Once again God has eventually revealed what was behind His plan.</div><div><br /></div><div>The next thing that happened out of my plan; I got a boyfriend.</div><div>I was already over those i-wanna-look-for-a-boyfriend-phase and I was determined to focus more on my uni activities which led me to this event called Heart for Haiti, where we met.</div><div>Long story short, I'm dating this very nice guy.</div><div>A Christian.</div><div>A drummer.</div><div>A singer.</div><div>A guitarist.</div><div>A bassist.</div><div>A chef.</div><div>A comedian.</div><div>A family man.</div><div>A smart ass.</div><div>A loving person</div><div>A boyfriend of mine :)</div><div>It's funny how this huge thing happened when I expected it the least. </div><div>Thank God.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then the miracles go on.</div><div>I applied for Kumon Camp which offered me an opportunity to earn approx. $ 1,800 in 3 weeks but I failed. boo.</div><div>Then I applied for another program in Okinawa which also paid well but I failed, again.</div><div>Instead, God led me to this voluntary English Mission Camp in Korea.</div><div>It got me questioning why voluntary while He knows I need the money?</div><div><br /></div><div>But as I participated in the program, I realized how much I learned and experienced in one month time.</div><div>And right this very moment, I am applying for a scholarship which requires certificates of my extra curricular activities and this program has been one of the highlights of my CV along with the required certificate.</div><div>Lesson learned: Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything will be added upon you.</div><div><br /></div><div>Another thing that opened my eyes to see how God has indeed planned everything for me from the very beginning.</div><div>I've been participated in exchange programs with high school students all over Japan where I teach English and introduce my culture for the past two years. Out of a very casual conversation with the director, he suddenly offered me a job to work with an HR consultant in Tokyo.</div><div>I was amazed. Not that I got the job already, but still... while other people have to race neck and neck to get a job, I got two offers before even looking for the job.</div><div><br /></div><div>Even though I still don't know for sure about what I would do after my graduation, I still thank God for the opportunities and hope.</div><div><br /></div><div>And through 2010, I have realized that as long as we commit everything we do in God's hand, He will show us the way.</div><div>And even though it didnt seem to be the one we want at first, but in the end He alone will open our eyes that those things happen for a bigger reason. The best possible for us.</div><div><br /></div><div>I simply learned how big HE is compared to my thoughts.</div><div><br /></div><div>"..too wonderful for comprehension, like nothing ever seen or heard..</div><div>who can grasp Your infinite wisdom</div><div>who can fathom the depth of Your love</div><div>You are beautiful beyond description,</div><div>majesty and throned above"</div><div><br /></div><div>Let's start 2011 with these amazing verses:</div><div>Jeremiah 29:11</div><div>"For I know the plans I have for you..plans to proser you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."</div><div><br /></div><div>and Jeremiah 32: 27</div><div>Iam the Lord, the God of all mankind. Is anything too hard for me?</div><div><br /></div><div>So, HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone! </div><div>Have a blessed one! :)</div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" ><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 15px; line-height: 19px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-15201462176602085182010-09-11T03:12:00.000-07:002010-09-11T03:26:02.767-07:00twenty fourIt's been an hour and half since I stepped out of Hong Kong International airport on my flight transit from Fukuoka to Kuala Lumpur so I had 24 hours to explore the country.<div><br /></div><div>It was pretty nerve wrecking at first since I didnt speak the local language and the only clue I had was to meet my native Hong Kong friend in Tsim Sha Tsui later that day. So i asked around until I finally got my bus ticket.</div><div>I waited on the line along with the familiar faces speaking the language I know by heart. Yes, a bunch of Indonesian workers who just landed to try their luck in Hong Kong as domestic helpers.</div><div><br /></div><div>After a while my double decker bus came so I hopped in with full excitement. I chose to sit on the most front sit on the upper part of the bus so that I would be able to see the whole scenery clearly.</div><div>The view was great. Neatly done bridges, ships sailing in and out the waterway, traffic signs written in Chinese characters, constructions in progress, and the bright blue sky which made the view even more mesmerizing.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then after around 30 minutes driving, the bus started to enter the main part of the city. The view became more amusing. Hustle bustle of the city, people from different ethnic groups strolling around the street brushing shoulders one to another, not-so-clean flats, alleys fully packed with stores and pedestrians, and the colorful banners that added the magical effect on the district.</div><div><br /></div><div>I managed to get off at Tsim Sha Tsui which turned out to be located in Kowloon island and still had 4.5 hours until I met my friend who was still at work so I decided to take a walk around the neighborhood. </div><div>The stores were awesome. They sell many different kind of stuffs, from typical Hong Kong merchandises, knock-off of high end branded bags, to chinese traditional medicine. There was also a wide range of clothing brand as well as rows of restaurants from chinese food to mongolian buffet which was utterly mouth watering.</div><div><br /></div><div>After getting too exhausted, I sat for a bit at the nearby city park waiting for my friend. Once we met, he took my to a local chinese restaurant which served awesome food. After the late dinner, we went to the famous Hong Kong Port. It was really beautiful to see the city lights from the building on the main island of Hong Kong. </div><div>We could actually take ferry to cross the bay and get to the main island of Hong Kong but since I had no time so we just spent a bit of our time there. And my camera was kinda crappy so I couldnt take proper picture of the amazing view.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was pretty late when we finally walked to the bus stop. I had to catch the last bus to go back to the airport where I would be sleeping and wait for my connecting flight the next morning.</div><div><br /></div><div>It was a short yet amazing visit to Hong Kong and I do wish for another chance to come back any time soon.</div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-63239288034212190162010-03-23T09:08:00.000-07:002010-04-01T08:29:43.625-07:00(.)ini euphoria hampa<br />sisa-sisa rasa<br />tak beralas<br />tak berbalas<br /><br />hati ambil bagian<br />asa racuni pikiran<br />rajut, rajut impian<br />tinggalkan heran<br /><br />stimulan rindu<br />seberkas sendu<br />obsesi semu<br /><br />kamurara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-82932747069900331732010-03-23T09:07:00.000-07:002010-03-23T09:08:45.071-07:00heart callsThere you were through a glance<br />In awe I lost balance<br />Dancing fingers on those strings<br />Oh What a shiver u bring<br /><br />Through the melodic harmony<br />You turn all the agony,<br />To an ecstatic rhapsody<br />You indeed are the remedy<br /><br />Star, star, my heart calls <br />Catch, catch, i fallrara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-2707796197852908122010-02-08T10:58:00.001-08:002010-02-08T11:08:03.661-08:00God is GoodI've intended to post this 'testimony' from 2 weeks ago but been postponing due to the exam week.<div><br /></div><div>So.. I've figured out what God has planned me.</div><div>1. I didn't get enough sponsorship for the One Young World Conference in London</div><div>but He provides me with an internship opportunity in Panasonic Indonesia instead.</div><div><br /></div><div>2. I GOT THE DAIKIN SCHOLARSHIP.</div><div>I cried indeed when the result came up. It was a pure miracle since I know how I screwed the interview and all I could say was just Thank you Lord for loving me this much.</div><div>The result came up 2 weeks before my tuition payment deadline. I had 0 Yen in my bank account, I hadn't asked any money from my parents, I was just praying and there are 2 verses that always keep me struggling no matter how many people say it's hard, or it's impossible since I know 'I can do all things through Him who strengthens me' because 'the One who lives in me is greater than the one who lives in this world'.</div><div>Now I've seen another miracle in my life that has proven God's help is never late and never limit His power for you'll see how everything is indeed possible when you're with Him.</div><div><br /></div><div>3. I didn't get the Kyushu Oil scholarship</div><div>But He gave me a peace of mind. I wasn't disappointed not even moan about it. I know if I don't get it, He has another plan, bigger and better for me. </div><div><br /></div><div>So here I am, staying up all night waiting for the early morning bus that will take me to the airport and off I go, back to Indonesia, will be home altogether with the whole family.</div><div>God is good, aint He? :)</div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-87593452602822638052010-01-08T06:14:00.000-08:002010-01-08T06:47:09.112-08:00TIMEJust got back from my friday fellowship, which I regularly attend every friday, such an oasis where I can be with the group of youth, praising, worshipping, sharing thoughts, and growing in faith together. I've learned a lot from this awesome family and so have I today.<div><br /></div><div>The theme for today's message was CELEBRATION IN TIME. It emphasizes on how God has planned everything for us and makes them happen in His own time. Yes, His very own time which is beyond my limited intelligence and understanding of what's good and what's not.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have personally experienced how God has not let me get what I wanted and how hard it was to face failures yet later on my eyes were also opened to see how God has replaced it with something bigger and better which I never thought of before. By rooting to this principle of <i>He makes everything beautiful in His time</i>, I've never been let down by failures because I know they all happen for reasons, for the better.</div><div><br /></div><div>The first 3 months of this semester, I had been complaining that I barely got my turn in McDonalds, where I've been working for the past months, because new people are coming so they need to divide the available time equally, which means, less turn for me to work and automatically, less monthly income. I worried a lot, and I did cry wondering how I would be able to save up and pay my tuition fee.</div><div>Before the christmas break, I also struggled to find another part time job yet I found none.</div><div><br /></div><div>In my lowest point, I was reminded of how I had been dragged away from God. I started to listen to online sermons and God did speak to me through those messages. I realized how I had changed. I forgot that whatever happens in my life, is a part of God's plan. I had been busy moaning about the little hole and forgot to sit back, relax, and enjoy the whole picture.</div><div><br /></div><div>I went back to Him and found how He opened the ways for me to earn money. I applied for two scholarships and passed both of the 1st screenings. I couldn't find part time job to do during the Christmas break because God wanted me to enjoy the break and let me go for a little getaway to another city, well He even provided enough money for me to shop and live a proper living up to this very moment even though I have less part time job schedule. And I have more time to study during the weekend. </div><div><br /></div><div>Now that I look back, I see how what I thought were failures unexpectedly turned out to be blessings I couldn't recognize back then. So I am thankful that He has brought me back to Him and here I am, healthy, prosper, and with many hopes I've pinned on Him looking to be made come true, or to be replaced with something better.</div><div>Yes, I am crossing finger for the sponsorship result that will decide whether I'll go to London or not this February, and 2 scholarships result that will provide me enough money to pay my tuition fee, monthly living cost for the whole year, even my trip back home ;)</div><div><br /></div><div>A lot to hope indeed yet I know, I put those hopes on the right hands.</div><div><br /></div><div><i>"..Then You know that I am the Lord; those who hope in ME will not be dissapointed.."</i></div><div><i>Isaiah 49:23</i></div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-43231245643839376312010-01-03T08:09:00.000-08:002010-01-08T06:48:19.158-08:002010ive decided to write down my resolutions and dreams. so by the end of the year I can see what I've done, and how my dreams come true, or are replaced by some other plans God has prepared for the better. <div>Here goes the list.</div><div><br /></div><div>Resolution:</div><div>- no sleeping in class</div><div>- no more job cancellation, skipping church and fellowship for unnecessary excuses</div><div>- read the subject materials before class</div><div>- fast every Monday and Thursday</div><div>- FINISH THE BIBLE!</div><div>- browse for internship</div><div>- no more bible reading on the bus. it must be AT HOME before school</div><div>- night devotion is compulsory</div><div>- less complaining</div><div>- go back to taiko practices</div><div>- learn Spanish and French</div><div>- more social work</div><div><br /></div><div>Wishes:</div><div>- daikin, kyushu oil, and honor scholarship *huge AMEN for these*</div><div>- academic merit awards (which also means 4 GPA)</div><div>- indonesia in February, Europe in summer break</div><div>- internship at British Council London</div><div>- perfect health for my family and the best university for my sister</div><div>- one piece from each of these: complex geometries, chloe sevigny for opening ceremony, junya watanaba for garcons, alexander wang, and well I basically wont resist anything from Oaknyc and reform :)</div><div><br /></div><div>神様今年もお願いいたします。。 </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-42419911905455394622009-12-30T08:52:00.001-08:002009-12-30T09:11:53.953-08:00another kind of looking backIt's the last day in 2009 and I am beyond thankful that I am still here in a super good condition, physically and mentally.

Does the company ring a bell in your head? Well, it's a pretty famous air conditioner manufacturer.<div>So how did it go?</div><div>I can say it was a mess. The interview was in Japanese and it was a group interview. Dang! Two things I expect the least for an interview. </div><div>They didnt ask that many questions, I didnt even feel like I've said something qualified to be judged for a scholarship interview while one of my 'competitors' in the group spoke fluent English and got the highest GPA in my batch.</div><div>So, technically, I screwed it up. But I dont give up, since everything has happened, the only thing I can do now are pray and fast because didnt the Bible mention that God always answers prayers of the righteous? :)</div><div>Well, miracles do happen dont they? </div><div><br /></div><div>But despite of all the mess, I had so much fun writing application for the 1st screening. They asked us to make a story about credibility where Pichon-kun, the company mascot is the main character in it. *yep, for the first time I can use my imagination to pass a scholarship screening.Woot!*</div><div><br /></div><div>So, here goes the story I wrote..</div><div><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;color:black;"><span> </span><i>At the beginning, when human had not existed, the earth consisted of only 4 big islands; fire, ice, water, and rock island.</i></span></span><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10.5pt;color:black;"><i> </i><span class="apple-style-span"><i>Water Island, inhabited by drops of water, was the most prosper, peaceful, and the strongest among all. It is all because of the leader, King Pichon.</i></span><i><br /></i><span class="apple-style-span"><span><i> </i></span><i>King Pichon had reigned for more than 2000 years and during his service, he had won most of the wars with brilliant strategies, he designed all infrastructures in the island, he solved every crime cases with wise solutions, and he successfully made no one live in poverty with his thoughtful income and resource distribution.</i></span><i> </i><span class="apple-style-span"><i>All water drops in the island loved their king and kept electing him for 5 consecutive periods.</i></span><i><br /></i><span class="apple-style-span"><span><i> </i></span><i>Not only to his island, King Pichon was also well known for its huge help when Rock Island was direly destroyed by earthquake. He moved all water drops to save and help rehabilitating the Rock Island. Because of King Pichon's initiative, the Rock Island could quickly recover from the disaster and continued its existence.</i></span><i><br /></i><span class="apple-style-span"><span><i> </i></span><i>One day, the Ice Island sent its warriors and attacked Water Island. King Pichon was badly injured and the water island was cursed to be frozen for 500 years. The water drops were really sad because their strong leader lay powerless on the hospital bed. A new leader was elected to replace Pichon while he struggled to recover. During that time, all water drop visited King Pichon everyday with food, medicine, and other things to make him feel better. Finally, after 500 years, King Pichon was freed from the curse and gained his strength.</i></span><i><br /></i><span class="apple-style-span"><span><i> </i></span><i>All water drops in the island were very happy and made celebration parties. They asked King Pichon to reign back as their leader. King Pichon refused because he felt guilty of the loss in the previous war but the water drops convinced him that he has the power, wisdom, and quality to be their leader. King Pichon finally accepted their request and reigned back.</i></span><i><br /></i><span class="apple-style-span"><i>However, when they were celebrating King Pichon's recovery, the fire attacked the water island. But this time, King Pichon defended the island by conducting the water drops to form huge tidal waves, but the flames from Fire Island were really strong and the water drops started to lose their power.</i></span><i><br /></i><span class="apple-style-span"><span><i> </i></span><i>When they were about to give up, the rocks unexpectedly came in rescue. They formed very thick stone walls all over the island that could not be penetrated nor burned by the flames while King Pichon took the lead of water drops to keep attacking the flames with immense waves.</i></span><i> </i><span class="apple-style-span"><i>After a long struggle, the water island under King Pichon's command and the help of rock island won the war. The water drops were really thankful to the rocks but it surprisingly turned out that those rocks came to rescue because they remembered the massive help and support from King Pichon and the water drops while they were in trouble.</i></span><i><br /></i><span class="apple-style-span"><span><i> </i></span><i>After the war, the water and rock island built a good mutual relationship and water drops lived peacefully under the lead of King Pichon with his power and wisdom.</i><i><o:p></o:p></i></span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:";font-size:10.5pt;"><o:p><i> </i></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:";font-size:10.5pt;"><span><i> </i></span><i>King Pichon is an illustration of a company with social credibility.

It's either the language barriers, the cultural difference, or well, maybe we just aren't meant to live side by side. <div><br /></div><div>So, I've recently lost my endurance to live in this far-away-from-home land where:</div><div>the kids look super cute in their distinct Asian look and the school uniform that makes me drool. But the cuteness doesn't last long. Once they grow a bit older, they would turn into geeks who get no life other than stacks of comics and video games. Then they grow a little bit more. Turning into youngsters who get pimped-up with their self-proclaimed-cool outfits which I don't get how could they think its cool, most of the time.</div><div>The young ladies would find it's hard to see clearly behind their mascara because it's just too thick and some of them are proud to not knowing where Australia really is because they think it's cute. (Well, they may not realize the rest of the world simply calls it DUMB)</div><div><br /></div><div>Then they would turn to big-headed adults who can't even order properly at McDonalds, complain at their own stupid mistakes, and give an 'urgh foreigners' look when those foreigners try to speak Japanese while 90% of those Japanese can't even pronounce a single proper sentence in English. Unfair? Yes.</div><div><br /></div><div>Then finally, by the (almost) end of their cycle of life, the would turn into grannies who wait faithfully at home for their husbands who spend pennies they've earned on pachinko slots or nights on karaoke places accompanied by bottles of sake and young pretty girls to talk, touch, and God knows what happens.</div><div><br /></div><div>Geez.......take me out.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">p.s please be wise enough not to take any offense, it's mere opinion.</span></i></div><div><br /></div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-10378954449948834702009-11-14T05:49:00.000-08:002009-11-14T06:04:37.693-08:00tribute to Mike Leu<span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:11px;">it's been a while since i have you on my portfolio<br />the liquid source of happiness i always run to<br />the desirable security i won't throw<br />and the perfect substitute of my sorrow<br /><br />you bail me out when i fall<br />we merge, we consolidate<br />strive to stand still while others fluctuate<br />cause we know we can get through it all<br /><br />it's a four-years bond we're holding<br />we're taking risks, investing wishes<br />don't ruin it, let's wait to maturity<br />we never know the yield waiting<br />and though it won't last to eternity<br />i'm sure enough it's gonna worth the bruises</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; line-height: 14px;"><br /></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(51, 51, 51); line-height: 14px; font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:11px;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vr3pXkSZSFk/Sv64dFmlKcI/AAAAAAAAAaA/Py64IWdv7nM/s320/a_arm_index.gif" /><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px;font-size:11px;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: -webkit-xxx-large; line-height: 14px;"><i><br /></i></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;font-size:100%;color:#333333;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" line-height: 14px;font-size:11px;"><i>** this is the result of studying hundreds of pages on my Financial Market and Institutions textbook.

Yuri, one of the best boyfriends of mine here just came back after about two months in another island, where he got transferred to Ritsumeikan Kyoto, and it was so nice to have him back. We spent the day with the rest of the 'gang', the same old crowd I hang out with during my first days in Japan. I never realized how I miss these 'quality times' so much...<div>After class, we went out to pack our tummy with japanese noodle,spend hours listening to them telling their own love stories, spiced up with stupid jokes and idle comments, laughed my ass off and well.. they really made my day.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_Vr3pXkSZSFk/SgGdqarG9VI/AAAAAAAAAXA/4My7hIk0dQo/s320/n780484280_1220845_5173.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div>And yesterday, I spent the whole break time during my part time job talking on the phone with Hanna. We've been pretty busy with our own activities and haven't had the chance to talk a lot after the first week she got back here. It really touched me to know she had been praying for me to get the honor scholarship and for my dad so he can stay in a good health.It might seem simple, but it means a lot for me. Especially she was the one to call me and ask whether I get the scholarship or not because she had been worrying about it</div><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Vr3pXkSZSFk/SgGdqkG044I/AAAAAAAAAXI/VauBtSkPnsk/s320/n512922765_907228_588.jpg" /></div><div><br /></div><div>It feels so great to be the with the ones I can trust and feel comfortable with because I know they don't fake their laughter nor tears, they can tease me because we're too close to get offended, they're on my side through my rises and falls, and the most important one, they don't talk shits behind me.</div><div>Now I realized that FRIENDS with all the happiness and affection they bring are another blessings I've been taking for granted and I am fully thankful for them.</div><div><br /></div><div> <br /><div><div><br /></div></div></div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6850519572660299325.post-86509019796975950652009-04-29T08:01:00.000-07:002009-12-08T09:11:23.579-08:00beyond blessed<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px; font-size:13px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">I was facing a severe financial crisis for a month since I stopped getting honor scholarships last march, which means I no longer get $500 wired to my account monthly.

I was stressed up, worrying about how to survive the next days and paying the tuition fee without asking my parents's aid seemed to be impossible. </span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">However, I always believe that God sent me here for some reasons, and as He has always guided me and provided my needs , I know he would never abandon me. And every time those financial worries bother my thoughts, God always guides me through my night devotion. He always says the right things to keep me stand still up to this very moment.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">A few days ago, my worries stroke back and I started to think about how to get through the upcoming days, how to pay my tuition fee, how to pay this and that, but my night devotion reminded me:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; line-height: normal; font-family:'Charis SIL';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"><br /></span></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Charis SIL';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Charis SIL';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will ea</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 20px; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: normal; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Charis SIL';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">t or drink; or about your body, what you will wear</span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Charis SIL';"><sup id="en-NIV-23310" class="versenum" value="27" style="font-weight: bold; vertical-align: text-top; line-height: normal; font-size:0.65em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"> .</span></span></span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life</span></span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'Charis SIL';"><sup id="en-NIV-23316" class="versenum" value="33" style="font-weight: bold; vertical-align: text-top; line-height: normal; font-size:0.65em;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;"> ?</span></span></span></sup><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">But seek first his kingdom and hi</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: normal; line-height: 20px; font-family:Georgia;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic; line-height: normal; font-family:'Charis SIL';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#333333;">s righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

Well.. I am pretty much satisfied with it since I guess it's one of those little amount of home works on which I put suffice effort instead of just copying from my friend. Yes, this is my first time making a 'qualified' and 'contented' writing on my own, struggling on goole translate and online dictionary for about an hour to finally get done with it and I feel so fine. <div><br /><div><div>Anyway, my sudden effort wasn't reasonless. I just happened to bump into my friend's facebook account to find out that she just got accepted in UCLA for applied math *well done, Pik! I'm so proud of you!* and it really shot me in the head. </div><div>It made me look back and question what have I been doing in the past 3 semesters here? what have I learned? have I really gained something?</div><div>and..I came out with the conclusion, aside from my Japanese and life's practical things *explain you later*, I seem to gain Z E R O..sigh</div><div><br /></div><div>well what can you expect to gain from a lecture from a professor whose English is not even understandable because they're speaking with strong Japanese accent? </div><div>what on earth could I have gained for taking bioscience and earth science since I am majoring on international business?</div><div>how could I even get strongly rooted to the basic principles of economic if I could just sleep during the lecture for the whole semester and read the whole book one night before just to pass the exam?</div><div>DANG!</div><div>it was a really really nice reminder for me not to slack this much. well, my uni may not be that good, some of my professors may not speak English clearly, but well it always goes back to me anyway. If I could just stand staying up for the whole lecture, putting my best effort to listen, take notes, and review, I may gain some more.</div><div><br /></div><div>Whoam. It's gonna be a tough work but well my friend's success would always be hanging invisibly on my forehead, reminding me to put some more effort on my study.</div><div>I'm keeping my fingers crossed..</div></div></div>rara kinantihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14968137272436625464noreply@blogger.com1
