Life moves on

Finally I finished my exam :)

Well, the time is moving fast
Now it is the time for the oldies to return to their home, and the new flowers to arise
And separation is happening
With happiness, let us face it
Life moves on ~


P.S. For Andy in Toy Story 3: "You have done such a great thing, to let go of Woody and friends for someone else and let them to be happy with their new family."


Thanks, Toy Story 3 :)

Understanding Life

Tomorrow will be my second exam, and here I am..

I think these days I have been too hard to myself
I forced myself to study and study for SCI3716 so that I will not feel sad or disappoint like what I felt for GEN3030.

but my body rejected me this late afternoon,
I got a bad headache and could not continue studying.

Well, it is a good thing, isn't it? hahaha!! :)
I can spend my time chatting with my sister and browse nice thing
This is one of the nicest thing I get:

LIFE IS TOO IRONIC TO BE FULLY UNDERSTOOD
It takes sadness to know what happiness is.
Noise to appreciate silence.
And absence to value presence.

Thanks to mom as well for reminding me that life is easy, just me who makes it hard :)

Love you, mom! :)

Come and Go

I have changed my layout again :)

This time I feel that this color suits me!

There is one good sentence for me today:

"Do not dwell in the past or lose yourself in the future, for the past no longer exists and the future is not yet here"

I feel good every time I read the sentence during this kind of feeling. It reminds me to be mindful of this moment. Happy, sadness, expected, unexpected results are part of life and instead of seeing them as our objects, let us see them as a process of life. 
Come and go ~

Expectation

Until today I had expected too much when I did something good to her.
Hoping that she would be nice to me
bla
bla
bla

I come to my realization that Buddha's words were true. "We always get something that we do not want, and this is one of suffering".

In case of eradicating the suffering, I am purifying my mind by being in this present moment.

Expectation is only illusion that is created by the mind.

Exam Confession

Here I would like to confess that during this period of exam preparation:

1. I read "Five people you meet in heaven" in ONE DAY instead of memorizing GEN3030. The book is awesome!!!
2. I slept in Shinta's house instead of staying at home and memorizing GEN3030
3. I studied in J.Co for my first time
4. I watched three movies "Letter to Juliet" , "Prince of Persia", and "Killers" instead of studying
5. I played facebook
6. I wrote down notes in microsoft office and erased it again, and re-did the same things to memorize GEN3030
7. I studied in Taylor Lake Side's library for 8 hours!
8. I went to SJBA temple and shared my experiences as a foreigner student
9. I met new friendsssssss from KTT :) :)
10. Hurray!!! I went to Starbucks, drank hot green tea, ate blueberry + chocolate cake without paying anything kakakakaka!!! ;p

Despite of some of bad things above (hehehe), at the bottom of my heart, I promise myself to study hard for the last exam of my undergraduate study. Jia you!!

Study and play smart ;)
Good luck to ME and FRIENDS!! All of us can do it well :)

P.S. I never regret doing those things hehehe!! because they were awesome things to do :). The next thing I need to do is increasing my motivation to study. C'mon C'mon ;)

Reflection

Tia: Aduh, Din.... Gigi gua sakit amat ya..
Dina: Udah ke dokter gigi aja, biar diobatin
Tia: Din, dari kecil sampai gede, gua tuh paling takut ama dokter gigi. Ngelihat bornya aja gua udah ngeri, belum lagi jarum suntiknya. Mana biayanya mahal lagi
Dina: Ya udah, mau nga berobat yang murah terus loe nggak usah ngelihat bor dan jarum suntik?
Tia: Mauuu...
Dina: Ama gua aja deh, ntar gua cabut gigi loe yang sakit ama tang.
Tia: Dinaaaaaaaa....loe tu ye...., aduhhh gigi gua.....

Kita sering meremehkan hal-hal kecil yang ada di kehidupan kita. Gigi telah banyak membantu di dalam kelangsungan hidup kita untuk mengunyah makanan. Kadang kala kita melupakan jasa mereka. Kadang kita lupa menggosok gigi kita dan lupa merawat mereka. Jika tiba-tiba gigi kita sakit, apa yang kita lakukan? Kita mengeluh atas penderitaan kita, mengumpat karena rasa sakit yang ditimbulkan oleh gigi kita. Pernahkah kita mencari tahu apa penyebab dari sakit gigi yang sedang dialami oleh kita? Ingat, segala sesuatu yang timbul di dalam kehidupan kita pasti ada penyebabnya.

Demikian juga dengan kehidupan kita sehari-hari. Kadang kala kita mengeluh atas peristiwa buruk yang menimpa diri kita. Yang lebih parah lagi jika kita mengalami peristiwa yang menggembirakan, kita menjadi lupa daratan. Kita lupa mensyukuri hal-hal baik yang terjadi di dalam kehidupan kita. Inikah gaya hidup manusia zaman sekarang?

Ambilah sebuah contoh simple yang sering dialami ketika kita menganggur, kita menginginkan mempunyai pekerjaan. Suatu hari, kita mendapatkan pekerjaan yang baru, kita merasa gembira luar biasa. Setelah beberapa kita bekerja, kita mulai mengeluh mengenai pekerjaan kita tersebut, mulai dari pekerjaannya susah, gajinya kecil, tidak mendapat uang lembur sampai ke hal-hal kecil lainnya seperti bosnya pendek, kecil, gemuk, cerewet, eh udah gitu hidup lagi.

Padahal kalau kita mau mengkoreksi diri kita, belum tentu hal-hal buruk yang menimpa pada waktu kita bekerja merupakan kesalahan orang lain. Bisa saja diri kita yang lambat di dalam bekerja sehingga bos kita menjadi marah ketika kita tidak bisa menyelesaikan pekerjaan tersebut pada waktunya. Kalau saja kita mau belajar sesuatu hal yang baru, lama kelamaan kita pasti menguasainya. Setiap orang pasti menginginkan gaji yang besar, akan tetapi bukankah lebih baik kita mempunyai penghasilan daripada tidak sama sekali? Siapa tahu jika kita rajin bekerja, kita mendapatkan kenaikan dalam gaji? Andai kata, kenaikan gaji tersebut tidaklah banyak, hitung-hitung kita membeli pengalaman sehingga ketika sudah waktunya pindah kerja ataupun membuka usaha sendiri kita sudah mempunyai bekal pengalaman yang cukup.

Hidup ini bagaikan sebuah kaca yang mencerminkan siapa diri kita sesungguhnya. Hidup ini juga merupakan sebuah misteri, apapun yang terjadi di masa depan, tidak ada satupun yang mengetahuinya dengan pasti. Jika kita bisa pasrah dan menerima apapun yang terjadi di dalam kehidupan kita dengan lapang dada maka kita dapat menjalani kehidupan ini dengan lebih ringan.

Semoga bermanfaat :)

Think less and be happy more

I just opened a blog that has shot me right into my heart hehe!

It says "Think less and you will be happy, Think more and you will be unhappy".

It is very very very correct!! Because when you think more, think of why this thing can happen, think of how difficult this thing is, and think and think again and again, you will make your life to be difficult.

Everything is, indeed, simple.

It is like what one of the greatest man in this world told us, "There are a lot leaves in the wood, but we only can take and care leaves in our hand." Be in this present moment, watch your breath, and tadaaaa you will find the answer.

May you be well and happy always :) :) :)
