A Great Day!

There's so much to say about yesterday, but one thing I couldn't forget is that the day of laughing all the time. It's been a habit for me to be terribly tired every Sunday. But it's not for yesterday. Yesterday I have a full day with my band partners. There are five of us with me the only man. The others are women and also I'm the youngest there.
By the way, I left the church a bit earlier than usual yesterday because the preaching was finished earlier than the appointed time as usual in spite of the other used time until the service finished. Then I went home first to dress up my self and went to Warung Steak to have lunch there with my friends. At precisely 1.05 p.m we arrived at Sawunggaling to have a meeting there and a little practice for the event on the new years day in the church. I spent my whole time there with my four partners. There is a girl called Steffi who is the one making me laughing all the time. In the middle of the practice we got bored that we went out hanging around first to refresh our mind. There, since that time we went out, she started to "melawak" (I don't know the English word for that...). She did that until we went back to church at 6.45 p.m. It surely made us laughing at every movement she made with her face or her body. However, the most funny one is her voice which always changed according to her ideas. She never stopped!! That was the incredible thing from her!! I became speechless then, having nothing to say of what she did. That range of time truly refresh my mind despite my inability to study seriously because of that (I'd planned to study Pengling until I went back to church at 7, but all is turned). For what she did, it's still a secret between five of us inside the music room there. One thing for sure, we will never forget that day.. Although it's been hundreds of time she did such a thing in front of us, the thing she did that time seemed to be new and amazing to us.
Pokonya, it was the most attractive Sunday for this year while fortunately it was the last Sunday for this year too. Just ask her if you want to know the detail. I believe that you won't believe me until you watch her by your own eyes....

No Comment

That's why I said it strange. He seldom replied my messages. I'd written more than 15 messages while he only replied 4 of them! My goodness!!! By the way, it's quite a tiring day. I spent my day nearly for only the meeting time. I just went home. The only useful thing I did today was studying calculus. Then I went to BEC to buy a leather case for my father's cell phone and return my broken micro SD. Briefly I went home back to pick my sister up and went back to Sawunggaling. I waited for more than half an hour long until the meeting started. For the meeting situation, no comment!
About what I was thinking this day long, it's a bit secret today... So many times I tried hard not to lost my mind because of little things unimportant supposedly... Quite a struggle.

Another Quotation

It's deep in the meaning...
' "Stay" is a charming word in a friend's vocabulary.'
-Louisa May Alcott (1832-1888)-

This quotation was just like something blazing at my eyes when I read that. I've never found a friend who knows the meaning of such a word "stay" in the real meaning of friendship. In my opinion, the meaning of stay is not just simply being off from any activities and keep static in case of waiting for a friend while it's not predictable whether he/she is sincere in doing such thing or not. It does mean deeper than that, that a friend will lay aside all his thought and pride and try to understand his/her friend from another point of view and be ready to let him/herself to be involved in his/her friend's life despite all their rejection in such a situation. So, the meaning of the sentence "I will stay here for you," is not just simply I will wait for you until you finish. It requires an action of helping the person (the object of this talk) by going through his/her life for a while and solve the problem for him/her. It will be easy if you place this thing as a new paradigm in your mind that staying for someone means sacrificing for him/her. There's a story in the bible which stated the highest level of such a condition exacerbated above that was said by Jesus, saying (redirected) that a friend's love to his friend will be perfect through the sacrificing of life. So, friendship becomes perfect when the both of them are ready to sacrifice their life for their companion.
Overall, meditate on it and you will find another perspective of friendship in your life. Still it's difficult for me to reach that level of friendship too, but I'm trying hard to keep that in mind. Enjoy your life, Bhro!!!

Christmas Gift

The day before yesterday, the Christmas day, I was given a gift. As a matter of fact, it was just a letter containing special message for the next year, 2008, of my life. It said "Many a little makes a micle..." It's quite interesting since I don't know what's the meaning of micle. They said that it was just saying from those many little things you will find something bigger and great as time goes by. Still I couldn't find the connection with my life. But, I will meditate it....

Christmas Day!!!!

It was Christmas yesterday. Actually, I felt strange yesterday. I never say 'merry Christmas' in every Christmas celebration every year except if I was forced to do so. Last night everybody sent me 'merry Christmas' messages that I had to send them each a reply message saying the same things. I dislike that kind of situation since I had to waste my money only to send such messages to those I even nearly had forgotten. So, then I sent my previous accel mate the same messages about the thing I got from last Sunday service in the church and eventually I sent my closest friend a different message containing the same things inside, but with a different way of saying. I have no idea at all of how to say 'merry Christmas' to him 'cause I believe he never did so.
I did quite a lot of things today. First, I slept at 6.30 a.m because I didn't sleep all the night before. Then I woke up at 10.30 a.m and continued with the internet activity. Then I continued with studying calculus until I get bored and switched my activity into the business thing. Unfortunately, my parents went home at about 3 p.m that I had to prepared myself to have lunch. We went back home at 4.30. Everybody briefly slept while I kept watching TV until 5 p.m. I couldn't bear this kind of sleepiness that I fell asleep too until 5.45 p.m.
I woke up a bit shocked looking at the time. However, I was still sleepy, still lazy enough to get back to my sweet pillow. Nevertheless, time forced me to do the opposite thing of my mind. So, I went to Sawunggaling to have a meeting of the end of year 2007 activity in the church this week. It was so quick that I didn't realize that the time had gone so fast and we had to go to Ciwalk. I went there with my sister. We, all the invited, had the next meeting in Honeymoon Dessert from 9 to 11.30 p.m. (No comment for the meeting activity)
Just precisely at 00.00, we went home and watched TAXI film while typed this words....
Gd nite!!

Confused to Continue

He is going to Bali this holiday while I have to stay here in Bandung, struggling in finishing the project of end of year activities in my church. I feel a bit strange actually. What is a friend definitively??? For what reason does friendship began??? In what season it is supposed to emerge and sink/disappeared again?? Is it an obligation for a friendship to face a season of being broken?? Do they have to?? How to resolve such a problem in a friendship??? These are the questions emerging in my mind all these days...
