OPRAH - The Wake Up Call.

Watched Oprah twice yesterday.
Pertama nonton yang di Metro TV,
topiknya "Wildest dreams come true"
Ada beberapa chosen people yg menurut gw, amat sangat diberkati by Oprah.
Ada yang dapet trip pake kapal pesiar yang mewaah banget,
ada yg college fee-nya paid in full...

Second show I watched was in Starworld.
Bon Jovi donated US$ 1 million for Oprah Angel Networks.

Intinya : It really touched me. Big time!

How one person can make a difference in someone else's life.
Literally turn life around.
Giving hope to the hopeless.
it's like... touching heaven, changing earth!

Action speaks louder then words.

Bon Jovi said something like:
"When you see their expressions....
you know that you ain't give a thing to them.
They're the one who give you.
They give you some thing much more valuable to your soul.
... a joy that is no words can express."

Jangankan die yg ngasih, gw aje yg ngeliat sampe merinding n deeply touched.
Sampe ngembeng2 tu aer mata.

Oprah Primetime was my wake-up calls.

The world needs more people like that.
The world needs someone who's willing to get their hands dirty.
The world doesn't need any more dogma.
The world doesn't need religion.
The world need someone who cares,

Ga perlu lah mikir kejauhan mau go on a mission trip to Africa or something.
Ga perlu lah jauh2 mikir mau share the love of Christ.
The world needs someone who don't think too much.
The world needs someone who actually do it.
Just do it to the people close to you.

Christians need to stop talking and start doing things.
Berhenti mengatas-namakan agama and just do what is right.

Ga perlu pergi ke gereja just because it's easter or christmas.
(padahal kalo hari biasa ga pernah pergi)

Ga perlu puasa 40 hari,
(padahal di hati tetep aja dengki sama orang)

Ga perlu pergi komsel and talking about going to suku pedalaman,
(padahal gembel dijalanan dicuekin)

Ga perlu aktif melayani di gereja,
(padahal gaya idup masih ancur banget)

Ga perlu jalan salib ke Israel sampe gempor.
(padahal kalo diajak jalan ama temen lu sendiri buat some quality time susahnye 1/2 mati)

Ga perlu ngerayain Paskah di Vatikan and light a candle di gua Maria.
(padahal cuma mau keren2-an ...)

Ga perlu adu jago quote bible verse,
(iya, gw tau lu lebih jago.. tapi knp ya gaya hidup lu sama sekali ga mencerminkan itu?)

Ga perlu merasa diri yang paling benar,
(kalo the fact is, your life is no different than mine)

Kesimpulannya:
Stop ngejadiin agama sebagai tameng dan your self-justification.
... coz you don't even have a good relationship with God and no personal encounter at all.

*Shoot! Im being cynical again... *

Ga ada yang salah dengan itu semua. In fact all those are good.
If you can afford it, then why not? God wants us to enjoy life kok.
(gua juga mau bisa jalan2 ke Roma... wiii, gila kali kalo gw ga mao!)
Tapi yang salah itu kalo you keep on talking and bragging about wanting to do something for others... but the fact is, you never do a thing.
You keep on hurting people around you...

Sori buat pihak2 yang merasa tersinggung,
tapi the purpose of this blog is more on the writer, not the reader.
This is my wake-up call, this is my heart pouring.
This is me being honest to myself.
.... coz I know my life is in a huge mess now.

Kadang kita terlalu fokus on wanting to do the big stuff.
Yang kecil kita lupain...

Yang kita perluin saat ini adalah hati.
A heart that is willing.
A heart that will do the extra miles.

Oprah sekarang udah kaya, dia gampang mau ngasih literally apppa aja ke orang2.
but hey, she wasn't born rich.
She wasn't famous overnight.
She had her turmoil, she had her struggle.

... She started small.

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
