Happy Birthday my beloved friend.
I still remember the first time we met, in the lobby of International Relations Department
We spent time together, we had similar patron, we worked hard on our thesis and finally we graduated together in the date which’s exactly my birth date. It was three years ago, on 18th May 2004.
Now you are married and have a lovely daughter. Despite your young age, you really prove what you said to me when you said your marriage plane.
I am not afraid of marriage Thea
I am happy fot you Mira. May God’s blessing is always with you.
Anyway, you are still beautiful as always. No wonder many boys adore you so much:)

The source of happiness is not figures in my saving account. For me, the god of happiness is seeing my parents, spending time with relatives or hanging out with friends.
Seven days in Jogja of course isn’t enough for me. Though I could have my moments with my family, go out with friends and go around my new neighborhood, it’s still insufficient. I think I must have a longer time even though I don’t know how many days more I need.
I took moment by moment this Eid Ul Fitr thoroughly. I really enjoyed the time I spent with my lovely parents was. We worked on together the mess in our home when Lik Sus, our maid, went home to Wates. I could have a chance to profound my cooking knowledge. My Mum taught me how to cook rendang, Padang food which I always wanted to master at. And Ogi said it was delicious. Merci mon cher.
Then I realized how important the friendship I have. My friends are my power source. Last Tuesday, my friends and I gathered at Jimbaran restaurant. We were there to celebrate the birthday of Wipi, Nora and Ririn. Just like when we met many times before, this gathering was also decorated with laughs and jokes. Unbelievable, it’s been seven years we’ve been together. Now, we have our won story, go through our own journey. As my friend says, eventually we have our own life. Ririn who met her halve in KKN. While other friends ended up with broken relationship with their KKN-friends-turned lover, Ririn and Ipunk stay together till now. Arif, who will go to Brazil and plans to marry my best friend, Wippie. Indi who’s still chasing her dream. And me, what about me? I am still looking what I can do in the future.
I am glad. I am happy. I was recharged and now full of power. The god of happiness of mine, I have already met it.

This morning, I received an email from a friend. He sent the email to several recipients to ask consideration whether he should appear in TV show which is very popular right now.
He stated several reasons why he was in doubt to be in the show. Thus, he asked his friends, asking for suggestion, aimed at convincing himself for the choice he would take.
I replied his email. I suggested him to go on. Regardless his motives, I encouraged him to appear in the program. Appearing in that show didn’t mean reverting his grounds.
However, all is up to him. And just now, a new email came to my inbox. He said he decided not to appear in the program. The top of all, he still respects the TV show and the master:)
Note: Thanks for involving me. Maybe I don’t mean a lot to you, but it does mean a lot to me.

My colleague asked me to turn off the winamp when i played this song. Obviously, it left bitter memory for her. On the contrary, i like this song, especially when Lionel Richie sings it withhis sonorous voice.
Truly (by Lionel Richie)

That I’ll have your heart for always
And you want me by your side
Whispering the word that I’ll always love you And forever I will be your lover And I know if you really care I will always be there Now I need to tell you this

This happy moment comes from my senior in HI-UGM. Her name is Rizka. I call her Mbak Rizka. She’s smart and beautiful. After graduating from colleague, she worked as journalist in private television. Then she flied away to the other continent, accordingly Europe where she worked in BBC London for two years. I never met her eversince.
Now, she’s married and got scholarship in communication study in University of Sydney. Two months ago, i knew that she’s already delivered a baby. A new-born baby boy has arrived in her world. His name is Delfin Sydney Tsalasi. You can visit him at www.delfin.tsalasi.com.
Frankly, I am jealous with her. She’s got everything and her dream in a very young age. Worldwide experience, opportunity to further study, marriage life and now a baby. In a moment with my best friend who’s studying in OZ, i ever moaned. “Why I couldn’t get everything, Wip?”.” Why there’s a woman who can get everything, career and love at once”. Wipi said,” Be thankful of what you got coz many people want to be at your position but they are unlucky not to have that one”.
Wipi…i want to have my own Delfin someday…..

Nothing to tell you about my last trip to Denpasar but the overloading job, combined with my unfit body, really drove me exhausted. But in the Saturday morning, I was rushed. I chose to have my breakfast in the airplane, not in the hotel, so I could arrive to Jogja 8 AM. It was for my best friend, Titi, who was married at 7-7-2007. Titi, has picked 7-7-2007, as her special date. 7-7-2007 was a date when she decided to leave her single matters. A moment when she heard her halve pledged that he would take care of her, no matter what, regardless anything.
I am happy for your dear. I know it hasn’t been such easy for you to be able in this way. Friction, resistance, or whatever it was, didn’t discourage you from moving forward with your choice. Once you ever asked and wondered before this whether you might have a husband who would understand and accept you no matter what, we hope, you may find in him. Once again, congarts babe!!!

Broken heart is never that easy. I ever felt such feeling. It felt like loosing energy source, spirit, and hopes. This day, when I was going to take a prayer, I saw my friend lying against the wall and looked deeply in me. She said she just broke up with her boyfriend. His boyfriend who she said gave her spirit to earn living in Jakarta, who accompanied her with courage and openness toward the world. Yes, she loses hope when now she manages to further her study. She even doesn’t believe if she still has any spirit to do so after all happen that happened.
I said to her that definitely she would find much better man than her ex-boyfriend. Never mind with the broken heart as when you let your self to be drifted too far away, it means you will loose any chance to make progress for your self. He’s not the only man in the earth. Let your self find a better spirit. Thus, we can say, “Broken Heart; Never Mind”.

This is what my friend, Fenny, says about me when she tried to figure out the line linking coffee and lover type:
You really want me to guess? 
I think you like more than one type of coffee, which resonates in your love life. You are flexible and attract different kind of people to you. Be careful that you may be stubborn at times

I am so thankful to be surrounded by people who really love and care of me.
Last weekend, I killed my time visiting Bandung. The itineraries were visiting my daddy who’s now being posted in Bandung and meeting my colleague mates. My friends and I planned to gather in Bandung, for leisure time.
It was so wonderful. The moment I was looking for, and finally I found in Bandung. As I missed laughter with them, then that was really fulfilling. In between the shopping activities and tasting nice food, I really found the essence what’s friends are for. I finally know, with whom I can trust to. With whom I can share my mind with and I could be ear and shoulder at once for them. Though we are now separated, I’m convinced we are still linked each other. A really nice moment was when we visited Mira. She’s the most beautiful woman in my batch. I was impressed when she decided to get married and now more impressed seeing her taking care of her baby. Her baby, definitely, is a sweet little angel. So cute….
It was great to visit my daddy. In my last day in Bandung, he drove me every where. I wondered when the last time he drove me was. We talked many things. Within my heart, I was so worried about his health. He’s living alone in Bandung and we can’t take care of him. My mom is posted in another city. Once in month, my parents and I commit to go home to Jogja, a place which offers comfort for our family. I promise, someday we will gather again in Jogja. In a peaceful neighborhood we dream of, far away for hectic life in Jakarta.
Thanks God. For all sweet moments! Really, I am so grateful.
