His Passsion, My Passion, Your Passion

Hi again,

I'm not going to write a long post this time, just a short one. So tonight me and my husband were having a small conversation. We've been quite busy these past weeks. Him with a new factory project to handle (he's in charge for every detail on it) and me staying up late (not every day though) doing what I really really love that is writing.

I am so grateful that Allah SWT gives me a chance to write again and thankfully there's bucks comes along. So my husband slightly said that he has tons to handle and being very busy but he also enjoys all the process and learnings he gets along the way. So I told him too that the day before I slept at 1.30 PM doing my article and surprisingly, I didn't feel any burden or tired and I really really enjoy what I'm doing (I wish I can continue doing this).

So then, come in conclusion, I said to my husband because it is your passion and because this is my passion. We're currently doing something that makes us, us. There's no better way to make money than doing what you love to do and what your passionate about. 

I couldn't be more grateful. Allah SWT has been very kind to us. So for whoever you are, seek what you really love and do exactly where your passion lies. Keep searching, keep praying, keep believing. Do what makes you ... you.

A Love Letter to My Husband

I love you ...

If there's a word that can express how I feel more than love could describe, I will choose the word. 

I could remember exactly the first time I saw you. It was when Mrs Nyoman class about English Grammar. You were coming to class a little bit late. At that time, the class had already filled with first semester students and you walked in wearing a gray vest with a hoodie heading to an empty chair at the very back of the class. At that time, I just already felt something. Maybe because of that  mysterious expression of yours. 

From that moment on, going to class had always been something I looked forward. I really can't wait to just see you. Believe me I couldn't even imagined of you liking me at that time. So college life is just amazing. Beside me loving studying English, I also has someone I have a crush on. 

One day our classmate Sofy invited some friends at her house and when I accidentally saw you at the back of our college building, I randomly asked you whether you would join us or not to Sofy's house and you slightly answered yes. Believe me I jumped in excitement right behind you just like a little girl given a ticket to some amusement park. You don't know it up till now.

At Sofy's house everyone's was having a fun chat. That afternoon I suddenly wanted to ride a small bike belongs to Sofy's nephew. Then you came and said that you wanted to ride it with me. Would everything be different if you didn't ride the bike with me at that time? Thinking about it, I realized that we got closer and closer from that moment.

Even after we texted alot, even after we ride a motorbike together to one of our friend's house together with some of our college friends, still I didn't dare to imagine that you will like me. So thank you. Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for always be there for me. Thank you for never failing to make me smile. Thank you for taking care of me. 

And yes love is magic. And for me, you will always be magical for me. I love you. Never once another man filled my head or heart ever since I'm in love with you. 

And I'm glad that we now have our son. Love feels more complete with his present. Alhamdulilah. I love you both. Thank you my handsome, hardworking, gentle and caring husband. 

2019 Teen RomCom Movies

Review time ………..

Do I need to stretch up since I haven’t done this for decades hahahahhaha …..

Okay right now I want to review three teenage romantic comedy films I watched recently. And what I mean teenage is yes these three movies cover stories about high school students. I have watched some teenage movies lately but I love these three so far. Okay let’s start.

Let’s start with the third from my personal charts. The third will be “Tall Girl”, released by Netflix on September 13, 2019. The movie is about a 16-year old girl, the tallest girl in school with height 6 ft 1 1⁄2 in (1.87 m) tall. Jodi, played by beautiful Ava Michelle, is constantly mocked by her classmates with their repeated same question, “how’s the sky up there?” Despite all that mockery, Jodi is actually a smart, kind, brave and loyal girl. She has these two bestfriends Jack Dunkleman, portrays by Griffin Gluck, who has crush on her for years, and eccentric Anjelika Washington as Fareeda, who will stand for her no matter what. And with the present of Stig Mohlin, a Swedish foreign exchange student who apparently is taller than Jodi, this tall girl instantly falls for. The struggle Jodi has to go through to get his attention has somehow shaken her friendship with Jack Dunkleman and Fareeda and trapped her in love triangle. But the film ends very nice with Jodi comes to realize that all she needs all this time is all what she already has.

Let’s move to the second from my personal charts and it goes to “The Last Summer”. I really really enjoy watching this romcom which tells a group of friends with each of their love, friendship and college problems they have to face during their final summer before college. One story follows KJ Apa as Griffin and Maia Mitchell as Phoebe, two brilliant students who both accepted in top universities and during those summer holiday the two fall for each other when Griffin helps beautiful Phoebe with her documentary film project. Another story follows Halston Sage as Erin and Jacob Latimore as Alec, Erin’s longtime boyfriend. The two decide to go to separate ways trying to be realistic since going to colleges in different country will, they believe, eventually break them apart. Other follows Erin’s best friend Audrey played by Sosie Bacon and Wolfgang Novogratz as Foster, Alec’s bestfriend. Separately the two portrayed struggled with what they really want and what they try to achieve.

And finally, the first from my personal charts goes to (drumroll pelase ….) “To All the Boys I've Loved Before”. The 2018 American teen romance movie is based on Jenny Han’s 2014 novel of the same name. It started with Lara Jean, portrays by Lana Condor, with all her love letters she wrote for all the boys she had a crush on and kept all those letters in her closet. The last letter she wrote was to her childhood friend Josh, who is dating her older sister Margot. But Margot and Josh break up when Margot moves to college. The things get messed up when Lara’s little sister Kitty sneaks into Lara’s room, finds the love letters and decides to send all those letters to the intended destination. The next day, Lara is confronted by her former crush Peter Kavinsky, played by Noah Centineo, who claims to receive her love letter through mail. Lara and Peter decide to play as a fake couple in order to get the attention of Josh and Peter’s ex-girlfriend.  But during that fake relationship, the two realize that they can’t live apart.

Motherhood

Good day everyone .....

Wahhh I really can't believe that it has been 6 years since my last post. Life has been great and kind to me. Kinda busy being a wife and mother and believe me being a mother is just ... I don't know if great could explains how I feel. Things that used to scare me no longer scared me but well more things get freaking me out hahahaha but trust me it scares me in good way. It scares and excites me at the same time.

I am still Westlife's big fan, still love watching Korean and Chinese dramas, still consider my self a little girl and convince my self that I'm already a grown ups (ouch on that hahahaha). Still love writing which will always be my passion and has this dream that I keep in my heart. I believe that God has a plan for me on that.

I has changed in some ways but also I believe that nothing change much. I love my husband even more now compared to when we used to date and my son is the greatest thing that happens to us so far. We still learn to be humble, work hard, pray hard and keep be positive. 

You know what, writing like this just make me happy and I am glad I still can share my thoughts here. I will write again soon and for that peroid of time I really really wish everyone a happy and cherish day.

Miracle Happens

Hi there,

How’s life?

Well mine pretty amazing things have happened. Hmmm …. Let’s start with last October when I got married. Alhamdulilah, I had an amazing wedding party held at one of Surabaya’s hall. I and my-now husband, since we’re in relationship, never expected to have a wedding celebration. We rather had an intimate wedding ceremony at my place or his place. 

We both don’t come from wealthy families and we’d rather spend our money for a new house down payment. And thankfully, By Allah SWT’s permission, we were allowed to hold a wedding celebration and the big dream also. And we were happy, till now we’re happy, that every detail of our nuptials was organized by ourselves and we didn’t give any financial burden to our parents.

 

Ok, enough with the boast :). I moved from my parents’ house to my husband’s parents’ house. Honestly, I had quite hard time not because my parents in law are not nice to me it just that I missed my families so much and I hardly stayed far for them. 

Then, something incredible happened to me again. Alhamdulilah. I had my last period in November and I didn’t get that on December. I also sometimes had nauseous. So on December, we decided to go to obstetrician and he told me that I was at that time 4-week expecting. Subhanalah :) 

Now, I’m on my third month. During the first two months, I admitted it was quite horrible. I felt nauseous all the time and I vomit all the time especially after I ate something. Two weeks after my first visit to obstetrician, we visited the doctor again for some nauseous medicine. 

But the medicine didn’t give any impact to me. I still working and working times were horrible. I couldn’t even stand up for long and lots of people told me I look pale. On the last second month, we visited our obstetrician again and we found out that I lost 3 kg of my weight in less than two months. The doctor asked me how many times I vomited in a day and Ranno told him about 3-4 times a day.

Then, he gave me a different medicine for my nauseous. And Alhamdulilah, the medicine works very well. I mostly don’t feel any more nauseous and I never vomit again. Now, I really want to focus on my baby in my womb. The doctor estimated that our baby will be born in mid August. That’s Ramadhan and Idul Fitri :). We can’t wait for that. Alhamdulilah :)

My Dream House

As most people do, I also have a dream to have my own house with my little family. I always imagine living in the house with my husband and our children. I really really wish to live in our dream house from the beginning of me and my future husband’s marriage. Though some people and friends doubted our dream considering house is very expensive, awe still try our best to make it happen.

I don’t wish for a big house. I wish a nice and comfortable house which will bring warmth upon the people who live in. This is how I wish my dream house look like.

I wish to have a house a nice and orderly pavement. And since I have been living in a small alley, I hope my house will be laid in a bigger alley where car can get through.

Then, though I’m not wishing for a big house, I still hope that there will be enough space for a small garden in our front yard. I love gardening and I always imagine growing sunflowers.

Beside that, I always dream having a very cozy sofa in front of big television where I and my longtime beau can enjoy our quality time while watching movies. Both of us are a big fan of movies and Japanese or Korean dramas. We can also invite our family and friends to enjoy the homey atmosphere at this part of our future house. I also want another LCD in our room :P Amin. 

Ya Allah, Please Guide Me

Dear God,

Please forgive all the mistakes I've made and all the arrogance I still have. I realized that what happened today has reminded me that what I used to see as sometimes big when people see it big is wrong. I guess this is the price I have to pay and God, I do believe that You still give me way to fix it.

I used to wish people to really see me, hoping I can make people around me who care proud of me. I can't do that without me being happy, now that something I just realized. I simply want to be happy and make people who love me happy God. I don't intent to make awe. 

Ya Allah, please protect me tomorrow, the day after tomorrow and forever. Guide me, my family, my boyfriend and the entire person I care about. Please show us the way that is the best for us. And thank you for all the blessing You have given me through out my life God. Thank you.

Please give me strength and faith tomorrow and always. Amin.

Aku sangat menikmati cutiku seminggu ini. Tidak ada yang ingin aku rubah walaupun 2 hari pertama aku sempat sedikit sakit. Aku menyukai bangun pagi dengan tenang dan bahagia karena aku tidak harus merusaknya dengan bergegas berangkat kerja.

Aku menikmati menonton Spongebob pagi-pagi atau siaran berita pagi hari sebelum melihat acara kuis ranking 1. Aku sangat menyukai sarapan di ruang tamu sambil melihat keluar. Banyak sekali orang berjualan lewat. Aku menyukai semua acara TV siang hari karena semua terasa sangat hommy dan informative.

Aku menyukai melihat Ibuku sering ngantuk sebelum dhuhur. Hari ke 3 cutiku, aku bahagia sekali bias jalan-jalan dengan Ibuku ke Carrefour. Carrefour serasa milik kita karena sepertinya kita pengunjung pertama yang datang kesana hari itu.

Aku suka saat Ranno pamit sebelum dia berangkat kerja dan aku bisa berdoa dengan baik dan tenang agar dia sampai ke tempat kerja dengan selamat dan semoga pekerjaannya lancar. Aku suka bisa menggoda Ranno kapan pun aku mau saat dia bekerja. Kalau aku kerja, aku bahkan kadang tidak bisa bilang kangen saat aku benar-benar kangen dia.

Aku menikmati tidur siang atau melihat hujan di siang hari. Aku senang sekali bisa melihat keponakanku Devin pagi –pagi saat dia belum bangun dan akan berangkat sekolah. Tapi karena aku sakit, aku belum sempat melihatnya sekolah. Aku sangat menikmati maen game computer dengan Devin dan atau mengajaknya ke Indomaret siang-siang.

Aku juga beruntung saking senangnya melihat Ibuku dan Devin berjalan dibawah satu payung saat hujan sore hari. Devin berjalan dengan cepat disamping Ibuku sambil memegangi daster Ibuku. Aku juga membersihkan rumah saat sore hari.

Bisa melakukan hal-hal tersebut dan melihat hal-hal sederhana bersama orang-orang yang paling kusayang sangat berarti bagiku. Terima kasih Ya Allah.

Just like as I do, I really hope all of you can still enjoy simple-beautiful-and-meaningful things around you.
