White March...

02.03.2006 Snow
It is a white March...
I celebrate your 45th birthday with the drops of the snow...
Slowly and swiftly it takes its place in this world...
Whiter than anything, it shows innocence...

The cold bites unto my bones...
Takes me to the reality that I am far away from home...
Once again, I cannot be there close to you to celebrate...
I don't know how many years it has been...

But, for sure, I want you to know...
Prayers are certainly spoken by my lips...
To wish you God's blessing upon your life;
Wisdom, health, joy, peace and love...

Happy Birthday, my beloved Papi!

I am always grateful to have you.
I always feel I am the luckiest to be your daughter.
I will never forget...
How you work and sacrifice to give us the best.
How you still smile and encourage us even when it scares and hurts you deep inside.
How you stand up and learn to be our best Papi.
Thank you so much for everything!
I love you, Pap!

[Ps.] Sorry for not being there once again...

This morning, when I opened the curtain and saw the white snow, I felt happy and blessed. You know what it reminds me of?
It reminds me of Jesus. How He washed my crimson red sins to be as white as snow... The majestic white, whiter than anything you could compare to it. It is the colour of peace and tranquility...
It is like He is saying to me, "Come, I will wash away the pain in your heart. I will turn the aches to comfort and joy. Leave the past behind and enjoy my love."
I smiled and I nodded. I thank Him so much...
Thank you, Lord, for Your open hands, the hands that always wrap around me warmly.

T uesday, 29th August 2006 has became a special day for both Lan and I. Why? Well... let me tell you the story. Around five in the afternoon, Lan rang me telling me not to cook, because he will treat me for dinner. So I just waited with no thought of what will happen afterward. In the middle of me watching Marrying a Mafia , my phone rang again. It was Lan, saying that he is outside the entrance door of the hall I live. It was about six o'clock. I quickly paused the movie, grabbed my keys and ran to open the door for him. When I met him at the door, he was formally clothed and holding a bouquet of roses (and a plastic bag). I was surprised... for him to buy me a bouquet of roses in United Kingdom was the first time, I don't ask for it, because I know flowers are quite expensive here. Suspicion came to me for awhile along with the question 'what is he up to this time?!' . But I quickly brushed it off thinking that maybe he was just being nice since we only have several d...

A loha!!! I am back from busy days... I miss my blogging world so much hehehe... probably missed a lot of stories as well from you guys. Oh well... now that the exams are over , I can have a little bit relaxation for myself. For the last several weeks, I and my feelings have been up and down... There are times I am sad, stressed out, happy, leaping in joy, oh... it is a mixture of feelings. Well, I don't really want to discuss any of them in particular, but this post is just to tell you that I am back. Now, I have so much blogwalking to do! So wait for me in your blog, okay!! God bless you all! And have a nice week ahead! Your journey had ended that day... Saturday, 20th May 2006 at approx. 09.00 a.m. WIB. Have a nice rest, Grandpa... Sorry, I did not have the chance to say 'I love you' for the last time. Sorry, I cannot be there to say 'goodbye'. Sorry, for making you cry when we had our conversation on the phone between the million miles. Sorry... and sorry... for...

A khirnya ludes sudah kertas lipat yang dikirim mamiku dalam jangka waktu kurang dari seminggu! Sayangnya jumlahnya kurang, jadinya botolku hanya terisi separuh. *Ada yang mau nyumbang ngirim? Karena aku tahu di sini tidak ada yang jual kertas lipat yang seperti itu, adanya yang bujur sangkar saja* So, here is the picture. Gak terlalu jelas sih, tapi ya kanggo lah ya hehe... Tak terasa sudah 2/3 dari liburanku terlewati, tugas belum semuanya tuntas, tapi mata terasa penat karena harus membaca banyak jurnal dan buku tebal untuk mencari data... *sob* Jadi minggu depan, bakal full time doing homework deh! Tadi *jumat* aku bereksperimen di dapur. Bikin brownies... belum aku coba sih rasanya bagaimana kue yang baru keluar dari oven itu, tapi waktu mengaduk adonan, rasanya sudah pas. Aku bikin kue dalam rangka ultah si Lan tanggal 13 kemarin. Kebetulan dia sudah kembali dari Cambridge, jadi besok aku akan berkunjung ke tempatnya dengan membawa kue brownies dan hadiah ulang tahunnya . Semog...
