RANDOM OUESTION AND ANSWER (03/10/2017) ^________^

1. Do you find yourself more drawn to brains or looks?

Nope. I would prefer to pick the smartest brain of mankind -- both female and male friends. Without brain, how could we start the conversations with anyone (even strangers!)? Only stupid persons who prefer looks than brains. I couldn't stop remembering myself being taught by a security guard at one company (audited by me). That persons told me for not placing meal on the ground. Disrespecting act for both --- the meal (provided by God!) and the preparer.

2. What would you change about your personality and look?

Nothing. Be blessed; be grateful! I have the best look, not the prettiest (or the most handsome woman!). I had made a promised to myself for not taking any plastic surgery in order to change any part of mine (including double eyelid!). I'm is always who I am! Never change; physically or characteristically! Be blessed; be grateful! God is both good and awesome on each breathe of mine.

3. What is the one place in the world you wish you lived in?
Home --- anywhere and at any moment of my life. Inspired by Bible --- ready to live in a cave or even in a dungeon with rats.

4. What would your dream date be like?
Various places. Eating at a restaurant. Listening to music at a music store together with earphones. Having dinner at home (or at a restaurant!). Going out to the forest or even a small park near my home. Everyday is a special date for me with anyone (even strangers!).

5. What is the happiest memory from your childhood?
At kindergarten. Before entering elementary school. Remarkable two years of my life. Not having too many memories on that period of time. Be blessed; be grateful! I can remember little; not too many! But, I did remember that I found the fact of having fear of height at that place. I had conquered that little by little. Not totally! I do have fear of height 'till now. Little fact of mine. Thank you, O Lord! You had created as an imperfect persons with a imperfect tape of memories.


Little with best regards to all viewers!

SHADOW OF OUR SUN

Oh, dear friends...

The shadow of the past that we hold on,

it shall gonna haunt us 'till the end.

To erase the shadow of our fear,

we shall need to let go that part of the past.

Oh, dear friends...

The shadow might come back and

it shall hunts again one day.

To find the peace within us,

we shall have to find the wisdom of light.

Oh, dear friends...

The wisdom of light is something special,

which you can only attain it in life.

To attain it for real and to hold it forever,

we shall make our own hearts to be opened.

Opened our hearts for being criticized of love,

let it fill in to the deepest part of our soul.

Make all the positive sides of being criticized

as the part of our own bones and blood.

The positive sides of being criticized shall be...

the best medicine to keep us seeing the sun,

the negative sides of being criticized shall be...

the worst poison to erode all the bones of us.

Oh, dear friends...

Those words of being criticized are the real sun.

The sun for us to keep heading up our chain

and be positive towards our future and life.

The sun that also hide shadow and shine the pain.

Oh, dear friends...

The shadow of the sun is our own acts.

Our own acts is the judges of our certain matters;

not seeing our own weaknesses and imperfections.

Those rude acts shall hurt others with pain.

RANDOM OUESTION AND ANSWER - 3RD OF 2015 (11/08/2015) ^________^

Do you like going window shopping? Yes, I do like and love window shopping a lot. I did that once a while since, as I said, purchasing too many new clothes could be money consuming. Glad to have bunch of gifts from anyone --- clothing items, hair accessories and beauty products.

Do you follow trends? Yes. I do follow trends that I do feel that those trends are (or were) suiting to my own sides of personalities in life. If not, I shall throw all those trends into dustbin of my head. It's not important to be followed. Knowing yourself is more important than following trends on fashion and others.

Do you have anything that you especially like in another person? Nope. I don't own any barriers in finding someone else to be very attractive for having conversation. I do love talking about music and wide range of topics with random strangers and/or old friends.

Describe your country? Peace and corrupted. Money and minds. I could tell that I do hope that my country shall be better than now with the new appointed president and others. I do also hope for the presence of peace in the mind of others --- not only about on my personal mindset.

Are you artistic and creative? Both. I could only answer this question with that particular one word. 

At what point does a girl become a woman? When she is able to define and know who she is and be bold. Be independent and be free in expressing who she is without the feel of shame inter-personally.

Have you ever lost someone you really loved? Yes. Death and any separation of relationships with loved ones has (or had) been not a major downturn, but has (or had) been a mental support to go through personal pain and keep on smiling through days of daily personal life.

Do you think fairy tales influence our choice of a partner? Nope. Following fairy tales is simply irritating. I don't believe in unicorns and others. All of them are only imaginations of story creators. Unrealistic. Idiotic for believing them.

Do you prefer Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, or neither? Facebook.

Have you ever hated someone? Yes. I couldn't describe further about the rest about the stories related to personal life of mine here on personal blogs.

Current friend that you have known the longest? Emilia Purnawan and Erlina Lim. Old friends of mine since being a student on bachelor degree. Three different kinds of personalities. I do hope to meet each one of them sooner. 

Do you read the Bible? Yes.

Do you play a musical instrument? I might have answer that I cannot play any music instrument, but I do love playing organ with total freedom for fun. I don't wanna play the instrument with the mindset of following textbook directly.

BE LOVABLE. BE YOURSELF. BE BOLD. BE INDEPENDENT.

Dear viewers,

Hari ini adalah permulaan baru. Kalimat ini jarang sekali digunakan olah seseorang dalam memulai kehidupan baru sehari-hari. Tidak pernah merasa ada keperluan untuk mengecap perkataan ini dalam memori dan perbuatan sehari-hari.

Kalimat ini sering sekali aku pergunakan dalam memulai langkah dan dalam memulai suatu perjalanan baru dalam kehidupan. Mau menata hidup, mau menata hati dan pikiran pribadi. Kelima kata di atas adalah kata-kata yang akan dan senantiasa aku pergunakan dalam memulai suatu petualangan baru dalam kehidupan.

Aku memang manusia tidak sempurna, tetapi mau memulai petualangan pribadi untuk menjadi lebih baik. Tidak sempurna. Kenapa tidak sempurna? Aku hanya dapat mengatakan bahwa, sebagai manusia, tidak ada satu orang pun yang sempurna. Semua manusia memiliki kekurangan. Janganlah kekurangan itu menutupi semua kelebihanmu.

Untuk menjadi individu lebih baik setiap hari, kelima kata tersebut akan aku ulangi setiap hari. Hari ini adalah permulaan baru. Hari ini adalah hari pertama dalam memulai segala sesuatu yang baru. Apakah yang baru dalam kehidupanmu saat ini?

Hal baru dalam kehidupanku saat ini adalah perasaan bahwa aku telah menjadi satu individu manusia baru. Memiliki luka dan perasaan. Suatu kewajaran untuk tertawa dan menangis. Suatu kewajaran untuk merasakan setiap emosi, kekurangan dan kelebihanku sebagai manusia biasa.

Aku telah mengajak diriku untuk memulai langkah baru lagi hari ini. Bagaimana dengan dirimu, dear viewers? Apakah kamu akan mengajak dirimu untuk memulai suatu petualangan baru pada hari ini? Semangat selalu, dear viewers.

FIELD OF LOVE ---- RUNNING TOWARDS BURNING FIRE OF LIFE AND REALITY

Hello, Readers!

Before I share the important part of this blog, I would love to share the current obsession of mine with the melody and the mixed used of instruments from one new song. Completely, I would like to skip the lyrics part for this song. The title of the song is GROWING PAINS from the members of Super Junior, Lee Dong Hae and Eunhyuk. The song (itself) is quite catchy due to mixed sound of guitar and other instruments. Furthermore, I also love the beat of the songs completely since it's fast without being too fast. [Note: The term of beats is not related to the sound of instrument, but it's related to the sound of my heartbeat.]

About the vocal, Lee Dong Hae sounds as cool as usual. Meanwhile, the rapping skills of Eunhyuk has been improved a lot. Love hearing his rapping skills from the previous song of Super Junior -- titled Mamacita. Eunhyuk is able to produce such soft vocal while singing 'This is Love'. For that reason, I do love his vocal and he remain the most favorite vocalist from the group. He is being picked due to his extreme growth from the past few years. It shall be changed if someone shall do better than him.

Related to the song title, it had made me to decide for linking the music video with one quote obtained (or given) through the internet. That quote has made to realize about the path that I shall take as a person. As stated on my heart, I do adore the life of one Catholic saint. Her name is St. Theresia. She decided to live with struggles as act of her 'heart' for taking pain of disciplinary in life. When she was young, she trained herself to control her anger. Once she is angry, she shall go to the garden and pick small stones to be collected on daily basis. She learned to reduce the number of stones being picked.

For being such a radical person since she was young, I decided to pick the same kind of life like her. It shall be really painful, but I shall not regret too deep. My decision shall not hurt the ones that I love and trust so badly. Those people are my parents, my brother and his family, and some close friends. I know that it might be ridiculous. However, I couldn't make any decision that shall hurt them more than I could hurt myself. Simply like speaking with loud tones, hurting them (or seeing them being hurt) is the most painful memory of mine. If I could do all elements of my burning fire, my time shall never be enough.

I could only feed one passion on one time. Related to the fact, I work and live as an accountant that might be too further from the real passion of mine. However, I feel so blessed that my life is complete here. I could be express myself freely -- whenever I go and do everyday. I could see the sun and grab its beauties on one second. I could walk on pedestrian with happiness (without thinking of being followed). I could do all the things that some 'famous' people couldn't do that freely. It's even hard for them to go somewhere without thinking about being followed. Fear of being followed by paparazzi, reporters and fans -- including some 'crazy' fans.

Actually, I haven't had a dream to be on-screen. I would love to work behind the screen, not being famous with the attention of wanting it. If I have to be on-screen, it's simply because of my knowledge and my own personal efforts. I know that it shall not be easy to get there -- completing all of my burning fire. All the major elements of my burning fire is music, painting, poem, photography and others. Furthermore, I do know that some of my readers might disagree with my current decision. However, this is my decision for staying here throughout certain period of time. I don't know for how long that I shall stay. I had decided for doing that without thinking too deep. 

If I could be a singer, I shall take a part in a small choir or have a duet with someone else. Recorded or not recorded. If I could dance, I shall dance with the sun while running. If I could be a photographer for a second, I shall go out and take my phone for taking a fast-shoot. I don't want to describe further about the depth of my love for that personal section. I do love all of them, but I also know that I couldn't feed them all now. I also realized that this condition might remain forever. Unchanged, but this is the decision of pain and love that I have to take for a while.

Love is about being real with the reality.

Not dreaming too far. Not thinking too far.

More than that. I assume it.

Insane. Stupid. Surrealism.
