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The doubt of my career in my old office has been replaced by the excitement to continue my study in the Netherlands by April - May.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

Believe that dreams come true every day - because they do

Take a look at yourself in the mirror.
Who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be?

Or is there someone else you were meant to be,
the person you should have been but fell short of?

Is someone telling you that you can´t or you won't?
Because you can.

Believe that love is out there.

Believe that dreams come true every day.
Because they do.

Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power.
Sometimes happiness comes from good friends and family.
And from the quiet nobility of living a good life.

Believe that dreams come true every day.
Because they do.

Believe that dreams come true every day.
Because they do.

So take a look in that mirror and remind yourself to be happy,
because you deserve to be. Believe that.

And believe that dreams come true every day.
Because they do.

Happy New Year 2009

A glass of wine and a bottle of juice,
Kenny Rogers for a dinner,
Beard papa for the dessert,
A room with to-die-for view and full with the best friends,
Calm and peaceful environment surrounding with favorites music,

The perfect way to end 2008 and welcoming 2009.

Happy New Year 2009 Guys.

Wish you all the best of luck.

cheers,

everybodys' hero

Have you ever think how does it feels to be Superman?
Save every people.
Support every people.
Be there for every people.

Have you ever ask who's gonna be Superman's hero?
I mean, seriously man, if Superman needs help, whom did he ask?

Do you aware that you are somebody's hero?
You may not even realize it, but i do believe that everybody is somebody's hero.
So you are a hero, and you have a hero around you (though he's not wearing a mantel), but you just simply do not recognize them.

A hero, is not always the strongest person in the world.
Is not always the most beautiful person in the world.
Or is not always the smartest person in the world.

A hero, is someone who will always be there for you, no matter what.
Someone that you can lean on, trust your life on, and definitely someone who can catch you when you fall.

To be a hero is tiring, and conflicting as well.
Is not always full of people's cheering, but it's about sacrifice.

How is somebody can sacrifice their life for somebody's else.

I do feel that sometimes, in some occasion, that i am somebody's hero, no, much wider, everybody's hero.

I do realize that sometimes i put people's happiness in front of my own happiness.
I do take people's burden as i don't want people get stuck with their burden.
I do know that i always be there for my friend, even though they do not aware of it.
I do sacrifice my own, to save people's.

And that is so damn tiring.
Happy, but tiring.

However, when i admit my limitation, people will denied my limitation, and will told me that i lied to them. Or tell me that i just treat something little as a big deal.

A hero will always be the source of everything, the perfect one, the guide, and the first one.

But who is gonna catch them if they fall?

Who's gonna catch me when i fall?

I can catch you if you fall.
Can you catch me if i fall?

Surprise me then.
