2010 - a year full of blessings

If i said that 2009 was the challenging year - a year when i tried to find my journey back and a year to open my eyes to many things, then i will said that 2010 has been a wonderful year.

A year when i found that:

You planned your life while you dream about it.

Dreams could be reached if you believe so.

Hope and faith is needed to achieve your dreams.

Everything is really happened for reasons as you can never predict life.

Your positive energy will lead you to a peaceful life.

Learning can never ever be stopped.

Listening and being sincere is a must in maintaining a friendship.

And light is always there in every misery.

But most importantly i will always remember 2010 as: The answer of my prayer. And i'm thanking to Allah SWT to make that happened. I kneel, i bow, and i am thankful for all of His blessings to me.

Why?

The doubt of my career in my old office has been replaced by the excitement to continue my study in the Netherlands by April - May. Then the worried about how i can adapt in Netherlands kind of substitute my excitement. But in the end, i believed that everything is going to be OK and Allah SWT will lead the way. As the results: yes - it turned out perfectly.

Hopefully things that happened last 2010 can made me wiser, stronger, smarter, and more mature.

And Allah SWT will always continue His blessings and lead me the way in order to complete my journey.

Friends are definitely come and go, and you know that is the consequences of life.

I left my very best friends in Jakarta and i pursued a new friendship in the Netherlands.

I still missed my dears: Mikha, Rani, Thia, Devin, Kiki, Tika, Ditya, mbak Rini and mbak Heni but i know that they will always in my heart and be there whenever i need them.

I am grateful with my new friends in the Netherlands: Farah and the rest of red 6 - the international buddy group, the classmates from Work and Organizational Psychology class, Ajeng and the rest of PPI - Tilburg's members, Kak Pipit and the rest of Indonesian people that based in Tilburg, and Putir and the rest of Indonesian students that spread across the Netherlands.

Family will never leave you alone and you know that you do not need to be tied by blood to have a new family.

I know and i belief that all of my family love me and support me to complete my journey along the way, but because they are in Jakarta, they support me by their prayer and i belief it makes me stronger indeed.

But again, i'm blessed. I found a new family here. Thanks to Farah that introduced me to tante Yanti's family. If something's urgent happened (knocks on wood), i know that who i have to run to.

My dear friends and family, thank you.

Thank you for always be there whenever i need you guys.

I won't survived this year without your support and i hope i can still count on you next year and forever.

I pray that we all still have dreams to be reached and belief that it will slowly come true.

Hope and Faith is still in our heart and we always push your positive energy out to make the peaceful of mind.

I hope that next will be better than before, remember, it is not about the "new" you, but it is about the "improved" you.

I pray that family and friends will be still there for each other and love will surround us without any doubt.

And that whatever it is will be the best for us, for our self.

Happy new year 2011.

Love,

Putri

thank you

Have i say thank you to technology for making our life easier?

I'm thanking to founder of:
twitter
facebook
friendster
ym
bbm
for inventing those social networking tools kind of thing.

Because of those, my friends can get my birthday reminder.
And by that, i know that I've been surrounded by wonderful friends.
Friend from elementary school to my working collage - from those who know me very well to who i just met occasionally - from those who are living in New York to those who are living in my neighborhood.

Wow, i cant say their name one by one. But it just make me feel loved.

Thank you guys.

Even if we hardly met or keep contact, you guys still willing to spend a couple second to drop by and said happy birthday to me.

Again - thank you. You guys are simply the best.

you - the second family

You know what's funny about us?

Yes - about our small but lovely second family.

Is that we always claimed that we miss each other a lot in email but yet, when we went online together, we rarely shared a big news. It seamed that nothing big to tell.

Sometimes we only gave a bit update but we definitely can stare each other via web cam in quite long time just only to see your face and hear your voice. That's quite enough to contend our longings feeling.

And that's totally fine.

Cause honestly, what I miss most from you guys is simply your daily behavior and your simply presence whenever i need you guys.

I miss you - Thia "nyonyah kitell" with off course your kitell-ness and your acted as emak2 if i was sick.

I miss you - Devin "piggy clumsy" with your clumsiness around house and your positive thinking during my low momment.

I miss you - Kris "si cempreng" with your out loud voice and your "speak up your mind" attitude.

I miss you - Mus "si lemot" with your patience and tolerance even though we bully you a lot.

I miss you - mbak Dita "si anak kecil" as the youngest one - with your "always try to cheer us up anytime and every time" atitude.

I miss our quality time.
I miss your presence a lot.
I miss time when i can call you any time.
I miss time when i can come to see you guys any time.
I miss time when i can cuddle and hug you guys.
I miss our adventure time.

Do you guys remember when was our last time to take picture? Our last time we meet each other? The six of us?

It was during Kiki's reception. Which was last year. I repeated, last year.
And we even don't have our picture together!
So, ourlast picture was taken during Tika's reception.

God, I know that we just have conference last night and didn't share news - everything seamed ordinary. Seeing Dee, watching Tika's belly. But still I miss your presence so much!

Well, yes i know that i realize that our lives is changed right now.
We live separately now.
We have our own life now: 1 hot mommy, 1 mommy to be, 1 dedicated housewife, 2 bride to be (ok, gw emang ngasal dan minta digaplok.. hihihi), and me - the single one.

But can i always say "i miss you" even though we just met online and not discuss anything?

By the way, thank you for making my life more colorful yah. My life definitely won't be the same without you guys.

Regrets, Bless - Thankful, Hope & Faith

For the wonderful 2009:

There won't be any regrets,
For what i did and felt in the past,
For every path that i choose,
For all the choice that i took,
For all the journey that I've been through.

What's left is only a bless-full feeling - a thankful note,
For every lessons that i took,
For every experiences that i received,
To every gifts and loves that Allah SWT gave to me,
To every persons that have been there for me - in my high & low moment.

Those has made me to become what i am right now.
Still trying to figure what i want to do with my life,
Still learning how to survive in this world,

For the upcoming-hopefully-more-wonderful 2010:

All i have right now is Hope, and Faith.
That next will be better than before,
That dream will be slowly come true,
That family and friends will be still there for each other,
That whatever it is will be the best for us, for our self.

Happy New Year 2010.

Life

This is how i see life should be:

Take small steps to achieve your dream.
And never satisfied with what you got.

Acknowledge people who are always there when you need them,
and simply share your happiness with them.

Don't stressed out you life,
and just simply make a new family.

Gathered up your friends,
and make sure you're always be there for them.

Laughed out you stupidity with your friends,
and love your family.

Don't forget to make them proud,
and just remember that they were never leave you alone.

Live yourself,
enjoy yourself,
and do whatever you want to do.
