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

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
