Dilemma

It's been a while, but I chose to push it aside. Yet, the longer I'm here, the more pressure I feel. The peak was when somebody complained.. and that was my turning point. I no longer hold back my emotions and feelings. I feel like being in a place I don't belong anymore, so uncomfortable and depressing.

I know that I have to put these burdens down, but I've been carrying them since forever that I don't know how to put them down and throw them away. It's been a part of me, if you know what I mean.

I have 2 options and 2 consequences: taking the easy way out and I won't learn anything or the hard way out. and I learn something very valuable.I wish I dare to take the easy way out, but as usual - the ideal side of me says not to; while at the same time, the other part of me just wanna give up. Gosh!!! Me and my ideals!!!

When idealism clashes with others' opinion...

i'm learning how to understand others' opinion. learning to put myself in their shoes. learning to humbly see my way objectively.

before it became big i confessed Psalm 121 and 34 plus Hebrews 12.

i wanna shout it out loud, wanna declare that the Lord i worship is GREAT and MARVELOUS!!! all credit goes to Him.

It's Just A Winding Road, Not A Dead-End

It is a broad daylight. I am walking with my best friend. He is always with me wherever I go. He is forever faithful and forever dependable. He is taking me to a certain destination. Actually, he had already given me clue of what kind of place it will be. Since I don't know the way, he wants to accompany me to get there. I am starting the journey and walking the journey with a great anticipation. I just can't wait to get there, but the road we are taking seems without end.

Along the way, there are a lot of people with various backgrounds and views. We are greeted and have a chat here and there. They are asking where we will go. When they get the answer, their responses are also different from one another.

Some say,"But that's a dead-end. You can't possibly go that way."
Another says,"Oh, your journey is worth the while."
Still the others say,"Think again if you want to take this journey. It's very risky and takes a lot of your time!"

I am looking at my best friend, my eyes are full of questions. My best friend sees me in a confused state of mind, only smiles to me and says,"It's not a dead-end. This is the way. Trust me, Deb. It won't take long, it's just...around the corner."

We have not yet arrived to the place right now, but I have made up my mind. I will trust my best friend no matter what the world will say to me. They may call me silly, or naive, or whatever.. I just believe that my best friend knows the best.

In the end, this journey is only about my best friend; so, only his opinion that matters. I am learning to trust his excellent sense of direction. Noone else's opinion matters.

Anyway, I can't close my eyes towards those who have been very supportive. This post is a credit for you. Thank you for being there =)

Hello there!!

Hello :) How are things, guys?

Copy Paste Generation

Do you agree with me that this is a generation of copy-paste?
Technology made it so easy. Dan disadari ataupun tidak, kita jadi terbawa. Gaya hidup kita juga jadi copy-paste...pengennya instan, cepet, g susah.

Apalagi zaman internet kayak sekarang, apa-apa gampang aja didownload. Copy dari website, paste di komputer atw laptop. Mudah...just some clicks away (krn g bs hanya dlm satu klik).

Gaya dan model baju artis ditiru... bahkan kadang mpe g nyadar kl bentuk tubuhnya beda (alias J  _ _ _ _ )

Aku ini mw ngomong kl d komputer copy paste memang mempercepat kerja (selama bukan plagiat ya sah2 aj), tp kl d kehidupan kita budaya copy paste g da gunanya....malah merusak. Liat aj orang2 yg pengen kaya dg cepat, apapun dikerjain. Hasilnya? Runyam!! Berita2 d TV tuh buktinya.

Emas dan berlian itu barang mahal krn uda melewati proses yg bikin mereka murni.

Ayo, dipilih dipilih ...

Bongkahan yang mirip kodok itu emas lho. Kalo dikasih mentahan banget kaya gitu aku pasti mikir2 deh. Tapi kl dikasih yg kuning2 berkilau itu masih boleh lah. Paling g harga jual lbh tinggi soalnya uda diproses.

carbon dan berlian cuma beda struktur kimia, tp molekul penyusunnya sama

Mau carbon atw arang? Kl mau bikin sate atw barbeque y pilih arang, tp kl buat pemanis leher, jari, lengan, telinga, kepala (bahkan sepatu dan baju) y jelas berlian lah.. Mana ada orang pake hiasan arang untuk k pesta atw kl pas nikah? (kecuali mw jadi trendsetter arang sebagai perhiasan). 

Harga arang dan berlian, bahkan orang yang buta huruf aj tw, mana yg lbh mahal. Bedanya dimana? Struktur yang berbeda, proses yang berbeda.

Aku siy pengennya jadi berlian bukan arang (apalagi calonarang).

So... Jesus, help me to embrace difficulties and problems with joy. 

Not running from it, but facing it gentlemanly. 

What about you?
