I love the parable of The Prodigal Son from The Biblehellip;

Looks like my lifersquo;s been like the son on the parablehellip;

Irsquo;m still on the journeyhellip;

I want to coming homehellip; And I know that Father will welcome me with His wide arms openhellip;

But I still enjoy my journeyhellip; and know that Irsquo;ve been going so far away from His househellip; The house of The Truthhellip;

Wellhellip; Let see howrsquo;s life will bring me to wherehellip; (hehe)

PS: Gak tau kisah The Prodigal Son alias Anak Yang Hilang? Read on Lukas 15: 11-32hellip;

I’m just a kid that learn to grow up… alone…

I’m just a kid that watching life’s so precious and some people destruct themselves with their own decisions…

And they don’t realize it…

I’m just a kid that realize… humbleness is the king…

That makes this world better…

I’m just a kid that realize…

The core of humbleness is… love…

That makes this world even better…

I’m just a kid that realize…

I can find the true love… only in Christ…

And I’m just a kid that realize…

I’m a weak human flesh that sometimes fail to realize the true love of Christ…

Ignore the truth… Choose the bad… Live the worst… and hide it…

But…

I know…

True love is true love…

And true love’s waiting to forgive…

Awesome !

Thanks for the grace…

Hope I can feel it, knows it, and live it…

*dasar manusia pendosa! hehe*

The 4 Hours Workweek by Tim Ferris (http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/)

Huehehehellip; Ini  buku lsquo;beratrsquo; en bagus banget (New York Times Best Seller, dude)hellip; Selama ini hanya tahu bukunya from the net, en exciting banget pas tahu kalo dah nyampe Indo. Masih berkutat di bab pertama, tapi fun bacanyahellip; And make me remember again about my past dreams that already dying for some reasonshellip; (haha) But I still have timehellip; (halah)hellip;

Why Men Marry Bitches by Sherry Argov

Good, fun, and honest bookhellip; Iyea, talk about relationship in wordly viewhellip; But itrsquo;s fun to readhellip;

Thatrsquo;s ithellip;

Jadi diriku kembali… ke blogosfer.

Untuk mengisi dunia maya ini dengan hal-hal ‘tak penting’, sumpah serapah ‘tak penting,’ (hehe), passionate dreams ‘tak penting,’ dan many un-important things that contain on this blog. (But thanks God, I have good traffichellip; ! Hihihi)

Well, what I’ve been through in my hiatus time ?

I’ve got… many !

Many new perspectives, new experiences, new things (‘things’ not only means stuffs yea…).. new friends… Oh, I’ve just got many… That actually really-really change me again. The changing… (sadly and proudly) not only in positive ways, but actually, negatives. But yea… that’s what people call LIFE, so I just live and breathe through it.

So what happen with me ?

Nothing happened with me (as you know, that I’m a skeptics fool), so even I’m in up-and-down situations… In the end, I still feel everything’s flat in my life…

The most shock thing that happen in my life is when I found that my close people had lie to me… (yea right…) I try to forgive, I try to forget. And I don’t want bitterness take over my life. I know it will be useless to think about it. So I always back to my *skeptics mode on* Hehehe…

And I found many new facts…

About ‘friendship’…’love’… and…. ‘sin’…

Awesome stories about life… But I don’t wanna share it. It’s private. Hehehe….

(Iyaaaa…. Ini blog pribadi untuk katarsis… Maafkan akuuuuu….)

Iya, blog ini rasa-rasanya akan menjadi tempat katarsis saja. I won’t supply or provide things again. Maap-maap untuk yang cari free download stuffs… Kalo pun gw nemu free download, gw hanya akan direct link saja. Gw gak mungkin lagih untuk ‘kirim’ file… Why ? Cuz Irsquo;ve got new priorities… hehe. Yea, this ‘UpperRoom’ would be different (I guess), as the blogger going to change.

(Alright stop talk about me… Now back to talk about God… As you always like to talk ‘bout God, don’t you ?)

So you’ve change… Do your perspectives about God also change ?

Yes, I do.

I’m in the dessert. And now I found the other side of… Him.

This is just a cumulative stories of my past… And now it shapes my present. And the decision is up to me, is it going to shape my future too… ? We’ll see.

I thank God that I know The Truth, now is my turn… Do I still wanna live in The Truth ?

Of course, my heart wants to live in The Truth… But reality bites… Hehe… When you fall, you’ll realize how wonderful and awesome God’s grace is.

So back to my *skeptics mode on*…

For everything good and bad in my life… I want to be ended in a good place…In God’s presence…

And for this case, I WON’T say… ‘We’ll see’…

It’s a must…

hellip;hellip;hellip;

hellip;hellip;hellip;

hellip;hellip;hellip;

So wersquo;ll seehellip;. =))

Irsquo;m a traffic madness girlhellip; (Irsquo;m online human, what can I sayhellip;)

Tapi kayaknya untuk sementara gw gak akan mikirin traffic blog gw lagi (hihihi), I should think for other webrsquo;s traffic yg memang dari web tersebut gw gak dapat PPC ads (Pay-Per-Click), but I get PPM alias Pay-Per-Monthhellip; (hahaha)

So, just say goodbye for this blog (just for awhilehellip; rsquo;tillhellip;hellip;hellip;hellip;hellip;..  -still have no idea-)

Absorb every knowledge that I can gethellip;

Hmmhellip; keep the spirithellip; even in the lowest point of our lives

Wersquo;ll seehellip;.

Buat makhluk-makhluk TI, pecinta dunia internethellip; Manusia cyber Indonesia…Yang kerjaannya (dan juga mainannya) online mulu…Seharusnya tahu Cyber Building.

Begitu juga diriku, seharusnya diriku tahu Cyber Building hehehe… 

Tapi gw baru tahu ketika dapet kerjaan tuk transfer data ke ‘luar’ via Cyber Building. Pas masuk lobby Cyber Building, en gw liat nama-nama perusahaan yang ada wall list… Gw baru ngeh kalo itu nama-nama cool IT companies Indonesia. En gw baru tahu kalo ternyata gw harus ke ruang servernya APJIIhellip; ! 

Hehehe… 

Selama se-jam mentransfer data, berada di ruangan kulkas server APJII (hmm, masih lebih dingin ruang server kantor ternyata hehehe), pikiran gw yang ada tuh kok malah niat jahat ya… ? Gw berpikir ‘Kabel mana yang harus gw cabut biar ini semua mati ? En koneksi internet Indonesia terganggu selama sehari gara-gara gw…’ Hehehe.. 

But that’s such a cool moment… Entered Cyber Building and the server room of APJII… Untuk makhluk TI seperti gw yang punya huge interest with TI tapi skill TI masih se-tumit hehehe….

Wakakakhellip; gila benerhellip;

Gw ngakak abiz baca ini : Surat Terbuka Kepada Bapak FN

Buat you orang dah terbiasa dengan online biz, ngebet pengen punya adsense di blog, menghasilkan beribu dolar dari klik adsense oleh visitor blog, tapi masih belum menghasilkan apa-apahellip;. (wakakak) You mendingan baca tuh postingan en nemuin bahwa ilmu you belum ada apa-apanya dibanding Bapak FN itu (hihihi)hellip;

Dan gw dapet tulisan yang keren dari beliauhellip; And somehow very suit with my workplacehellip; Hehehehellip;

So sorry gw copy paste dulu sebagian disinihellip; Gak sempet men-translate soalnahellip; Yang jelas very worth to read !

=========

For the leader or employee in a faith-based or non-profit organization that sees impending change coming – but can’t convince anyone else – here are a few thoughts. Especially for those in the middle of generational change. Right now in America there are a number of major religious organizations in the middle of changing leadership from the first generation leader to the second. For those of you who see that coming, take heart with the following:

Herersquo;s the situation: You see the future coming like a freight train, but your bosses, fellow employees, and/or perhaps parents are viewing the world with the same lens that has worked for the last 30 years. This tension between first generation leaders and 2nd generation leaders is typical. You may recall the mythic story of the founder of IBM. He believed he founded a typewriter company, so when his son wanted to start building computers, his dad fought him and completely stopped the effort. ldquo;By God, wersquo;re a typewriter company - thatrsquo;s what has made us millions,rdquo; he would say.

By the time the old man passed on and the son was able to take over, they were a decade behind their competitors, and thatrsquo;s why IBM took so long to catch up. Irsquo;ve seen it over and over. Itrsquo;s frustrating, but remarkably common, and itrsquo;s happened in a number of major churches and ministries like yours.

I believe the key is making change in small ways, and trying to position the ministry behind the scenes to be ready for the future. Along that line, while it’s not comprehensive, here’s a few things to consider:

Media:

ndash; Make sure the website is 2.0, so it can handle video, social networking, communicate clearly with the partners, etchellip; The web is the best place to start and the spot where change will be critical.

ndash; Encourage your younger producers and crew members. They have the energy and passion to make new things happen. Plus, they’re in touch with contemporary culture.

ndash; Watch popular TV, films, and websites. See where the culture is going, and focus your ministry on the questions people are asking out there.



Leadership:

ndash; Start investing in people. Do your best to encourage your staff and bring in really talented people. Make your leadership team part of the creative process and bring them into creative and marketing meetings. Give them a sense of ownership in the future of the organization.

ndash; As the first generation leaders take more and more time off, start influencing in small places. Make an impact with different aspects of the ministry - your prison outreach, missions, etchellip; Start in places where they won’t notice.

ndash; Start making decisions about the next generation family - who has the passion and drive to carry the ball and who doesnrsquo;t. Focus on who does, and help them grow as much as you can.

ndash; Be aware of political players. Generally, when change starts happening, there are people who will be terrified of change. Change means that they’ll have to prove themselves, justify their job, and make an investment in the future. Those who have grown lazy will resent it, and try to block your efforts for change. I would keep my eye on them, and be careful that they don’t keep the really talented people on the team from blocking progress.

ndash; Start now to build up the people around you. Jesus could have focused on the big crowds, but he invested his life into 12 people - and that small group changed the world. Who are the 12 people around you that have the potential to help you make an impact?

Donors and Fundraising:

ndash; Learn everything you can about donor development and fundraising. Learn what the next generation is interested in, and how reaching them differs from reaching their parents.

ndash; Seek out relationships with major donors. There are people out there who could easily catch your vision for ministry, and could help play a serious role in making that happen.

ndash; Don’t forget the impact of design. The old, cheesy-style letters that the last generation sent to donors aren’t always working so well anymore. This generation loves good design, so make sure all your communications are contemporary.

Be a master of our situation, than be a victim of conditions.

Yeaaahellip; thatrsquo;s only for survivor mentality people. And I absorb it day by dayhellip; Hehe.

Someone said to me to be grown up before the time. Dulu sih gak ngerti, cuex ajahellip; Who cares ? Hehehellip;

Tapi sekarang gw ngertihellip;

And someone juga yang bilang begini ke gw :

Upgrade diri: we do it to ourselves, with our without parents. The only different thing is you need to do it faster by yourself. Donrsquo;t feel sorry about this, take it as a blessing in disguise.  [if you read this, you know who you are]

So I think my situation is a blessing ^_^

Meskipun kadang suka bingung juga, apa gw seseorang yang terlalu ngotot ? Ato seharusnya keep take it easy and just have fun ?

I dunnohellip; I keep learninghellip;

Born…

Being baby and little children… (with that childish mental attitude)

Grow up… (start to leave that childish mental attitude)

Mature….

Ready to married and have kids… (haha)

Older….

See your kids grow like you grew… (ya gak sih ?)

Dead…

Huahh, what a life…

I’m not ready to be mature… (I think)

Nobody teach me to be mature. It’s a process by ourself. And enter my ‘twenties’… My desire to be ‘mature’ just gone…(lho ?). Believe me, in my teenage years I want to be mature. Tapi gak ngerti, kenapa sekarang kok ilang ya ? (hehe) 

Apa karena gw berpikir maturity is less laugh ? Everyone’s busy with their own problem… ? And you should’ve take care of yourself ? (ya iyalahhh yaaaaa…dari dulu juga diriku begitu – siapa juga yang ngurusin gw kalo bukan gw sendiri haha)

Not fun world…Less touch…

But it’s not meant that I’m still wanna be a kid. Everyone’s must going to be mature. It’s a sign that you grow. Apa yang diberi lebih, tanggung jawabnya juga lebih, and the reward juga lebih dunkzz…hehe.

It’s not about the burden as mature people. I do ready for that.

It’s not about ‘learn to be wise’ as mature people. I must ready for that.

It’s not about ‘learn to be strong’ as mature people. I must ready for that.

Even sometime, gw malu dengan anak-anak kecil jalanan yang gw liat di jalanan. I think they are that stronger people ! Gw rasa mereka gak nyadarin kalo sebenarnya keadaan mereka di bawah rata-rata orang. That’s why I never saw them cry on the street… (sepanjang yang gw inget) They just having fun with their life on the street… Showing their ‘muka kasian pak…’ Abiz minta-minta, ketawa ngikik lagi…Hoho. Yea, I think they’re stronger kids…(without the knowledge about what are they suppose to be) 

Back to maturity…Maybe for me…it’s about…. 

……. 

Maturity means alone. Because people around you see you as mature people… Mature people don’t need guidance. Mature people can do everything by themselves. Mature people don’t need to find good quality friendship. Cause it’s not the time for looking friend anymore, but it’s time for looking a mate…So you both can get older together… And die together like Romeo and Juliet…(haha *satire mode on*) 

Am I correct ?

I analyze my own problem with writing. That’s the question that I need to answer by myself. 

Yea I think that’s the problem.

I invite my friends to make any comment…(specially my IT girls, that always have deep thoughts – ceileee) 

What do you think, ce Fay ? (hehe) I think it’s still the same syndrome…(haha) 

Beside that, enter my ‘twenties’ juga ngebikin personal question dari big family berubah… Such as, ‘So, siapa calonnya ?’ 

Deep in my heart, “My goodnesssssss…. I feel like Ringgo….!”

Cengir-cengir kuda aje deh gw…. Hahaha.

Gile ye, pada lupa ma umur gw kali… Masih 21 juga… 

Palagi waktu big fam meeting baru-baru ini, gw ketemu dengan sodarikyu (yg kalo dalam keluarga tuh sebenarnya dia ponakan gw!) yang juga temen main masa kecilku… Sama-sama ingusan bareng, sama-sama lari bareng, sama-sama main petak umpet bareng, sama-sama ngerjain sodari gw yang lain… En sekarang dia udah married… ! Hahaha… I felt like I’m still a kid. Dan semua orang di sekitar gw changing and older… 

Back to big fam…

Sebelum pulang mereka kasih komentar, en komentar mereka, “Cari yang bagus ya, Tam…” 

Errgghhh…..

They were talking about cool stuffs, right ?

Yeaaa rightttt, definetly Macbook adalah Notebook paling bagusssss….

Dan gw lagi jatuh cinta ama Linux OS yang namanya Ubuntu…

Hehehe… 

Things to learn :

don’t talk about mate with a geek, cause for them, their mate is gadget and cool software…

Perhatian : Jika anda tidak suka narssisme, jangan konsumsi postingan blog ini.

Gw uda sering denger term ‘Personal Branding’… Jadi mengerti setiap orang sebenarnya punya Personal Branding untuk dirinya masing-masing.

And then, gw dapet sms seperti ini dari temen gw :

Gambarkan aku dgn 1 kata.hanya 1 kata!kirm jwbannya pdku lalu kirm pesn ini ke 10 temnamp;liht jwbn2 anehamp;mengagumkan ttgmu.bls ya!karena ini menyenangkan.

Pas banget dengan Personal Branding ini… So setelah gw kirim balik ke temen gw yang ngirim ini, gw kirim lagi ke temen-temen gw yang lain… (hehehe)

Mo tahu aja ‘Actually what do they think about me…’

En gw siap dengan jawaban-jawaban gila nan error dari temen-temen gw… (hihihi)

Gw sudah berpikir gw bakal dapet jawaban kayak gini : cuek, slengekan, slebor, belagu, nyolot (haha), jutek, soktahu, gakjelas, pendiem, pemalu (hihihi), dan sebagainya…

You know what, ternyata gw salah…dan untungnya… jawabannya gak lebih parah (thanxx God, hehe) Ternyata itu hanya inferior-nya gw…kex3x…

Here’s what they say :

Amey   -gt;       JesusFreak    

(iya Mey, gakpapa sih maksa dua kata dibikin satu :-P)

Gw kaget waktu Amey jawab ini… Cause Amey isn’t a Christian. She’s my Muslim friend at college. So I think that’s very cool. She knows me not as a Christian. But JesusFreak Yea Mey, thanxx for the answer my Nezholic friend

Lisma  -gt;        Smart             

My sizt in Christ at church…  (sempet gak percaya ada yg bilang gw…  smart ! hehe)

Silvi a.k.a Cipi  -gt;    Cool

My sizt in Christ at college… (makin gak percaya ada yg bilang gw… cool !hoho)

Leoerk            -gt;        TimTam

Gw gak pernah ketemu dengan ikan lele yang ini (hehe), but we always have a great time when we chat online. Always meet online karena gabung dalam satu forum. CeweQ teknikal, sama-sama IT girl… Hanya gw tuh IT gal yang kebablasan (hehe) En jawaban dia tuh panjang banget…”Btw tammy itu kalo digambarkan ke tim tam aja d, enak tp buat skt gigi.enak dimaem alias dikerjain,tp lama2 I dikerjain bls.”

Ya iyalah Leoerk, kan Firman Tuhan aja bilang ‘Perbuatlah sebagaimana kamu ingin diperlakukan.’ So… you ngerjain I, I kerjain balik

Memey           -gt;         Rame

She’s my college friend. Gw rame darimana ya ? Cause I only have one mouth, and not contain a bunch of flying bees… hehehe.

Pujay   -gt;         Gila

My friend at workplace. (friend at workplace ? or partnerhellip;?). Hanya dia yang menjawab kecurigaan gw (hehe) That’s very straight to the point, friend…

Dewi  -gt;          Pintar

My college friend… hehehe… (lebih gak percaya lagi udah dua orang mengatakan hal yang sama *narsiss mode on*)

Leony   -gt;       Males Kuliah

(Leony, these are two words ! Mendingan kayak Amey, digabung aja say…hehehe)

I admit it. That was my sin in my college years, but I have my own reason to do that sin… hehehe…

Intinya…

Mereka adalah teman-teman yang sangat baik… karena sempet2nya balas sms gw yang gak penting itu…

Mereka sedang ada pulsa…makanya bisa balas sms gw yang gak penting itu…

Jawaban mereka adalah salah satu jawaban dari begitu banyak opini yang bisa dijawab… Dan kebanyakan dari mereka menjawab dengan jawaban positif. Coba kalo diminta 10 kata ? Kemungkinan tidak semuanya positif hehe… *inferior mode on*

 Dan gw sedang menunggu teman-teman baikku yang sedang tidak ada pulsa untuk menjawab sms gak penting ku itu…

So Beginihellip;

Sebenarnya rutinitas ngebikin lo (gw seh sebenernya) jadi ngerasa hari-hari lo datar ajahellip;

Ya gak sih ???

Ato cuma gw doankzz ?? (hehehe)

So I just read my blog, and laughing a lothellip;

Many stupidity and point of views (good point of views, I think - hehe, narsiss) that I wrotehellip;

Many controversial conversations that happened in this blog. So sorry klo gak nge-blessing and usefulhellip; Tapi gw rasa dari first post sampai yg sekarang udah mengalami perubahan.

In the endhellip;  I think between myself and my blog is un-parallel. I speak a lot at my blog. Dunno in my real lifehellip; I know that blog is our place for lsquo;katarsisrsquo; and lsquo;narsissrsquo;hellip; So this cyberworld definetly an exciting world. Spread out whatrsquo;s in your head and donrsquo;t care what people judgehellip; (errghhh, make an opinion). Very cool worldhellip;

*written in errornous mode* 

Untuk yang mengirim email ke saya dengan alamat email : yumi.iskandar@aaa.com.

Saya sudah merespon email kamu, sekarang saya tunggu tanggapannya. Dalam seminggu jika tidak mendapat respon dari kamu. Saya akan mem-publish email korespondensi tersebuthellip;

Thanxx and GOD Blesshellip;

Was thinking about Jesus and I found this…

Selama 33 tahun kehidupan-Nya di bumi ini, dia tidak pernah ‘memakai tangan-Nya’ untuk kekerasan.. Satu-satunya waktu hanya ketika Ia datang ke Bait Allah dan menemukan bahwa Rumah Bapa-Nya dipakai untuk dagang. Not only for worship and fellowship ! Tapi tercatat kalau Ia tidak melukai siapa pun… (Markus 11 : 15-19, Matius 21: 12 – 17, Lukas 19: 45 – 48, Yohanes 2: 13 – 17)

Thatrsquo;s a very good examplehellip;

Orang-orang rasanya takut sekali dengan film yang sebenarnya gw sendiri males banget untuk nonton (format sinetron bo’, sedangkan gw eneg bgt ma sinetron) tapi gara-gara banyak sodara-sodara setanah-air yang jiper ma tuh film, takut dihipnotis, takut jadi murtad, takut jadi kafir… so gw berpikir… “Mannn, I must watch that movie !” (hehehe)

Christians talk about that movie, katanya ini cara bagus untuk memperkenalkan Tuhan Yesus dengan cara yang kontekstual en relevan ke tengah bangsa kita. En Indonesia adalah Negara yang mayoritas Muslim, jadi rasanya banyak orang Muslim gak terima dengan acara film itu. Banyak orang yang beranggapan bahwa itu upaya Kristenisasi bahkan menyangkut-pautkan itu didukung oleh Zionissss ! (huahahaha)

Gw sendiri berpendapat film yang ditakuti orang-orang itu gak istimewa… Pertama, karena seperti kisah sinetron… Gw udah fed up dengan sinetron. Enough. (Except Solusi, I still like it… hihihihi…*now I knew all of the team ! Wow!*) Kedua, kalo dulu antusiasme gw termasuk tinggi dengan kisah-kisah yang penginjilan Kabar Baik seperti ini… (maklum dulu remaja radikal dalam Tuhan, semangatnya masih tinggi hehehe) Tapi sekarang, gw udah gak kepikiran lagi dengan hal-hal seperti ini… Buat gw media ya hanya media, the real evangelism for me is when you meet people, fellowship with them, encourage them, introduce them with Christ, and help them grow in Christ.

Bukan berarti media bukan cara ampuh untuk Shout Jesus Fame, justru sangat ampuh ! Gw termasuk bertumbuh mengenal Tuhan lewat media, justru fellowship gw termasuk minim dengan sodara seiman… Itu sebabnya gw udah sadar and looking for good bros and sizts in Christ (hihihih)

But back again to that movie, gw sadar en ngucap syukur juga kalo ternyata banyak urang Indonesia yang masih rasional tuk nyikapin sinetron My Hope ini. Karena hanya urang tulul bin gublik yang percaya kalau film ini bisa meng-hipnotis. Hehehe. Hanya urang aneh juga yang bisa pindah kepercayaan cuma gara-gara nonton sinetron selama 1 jam.

Sekarang, mari kita telaah gossip yang digosok makin sip yang bertebaran selama ini…

Waspadai misi gereja di TV

tgl 15 des 07 jam 16.30-17.

30 serentak di RCTI,Transtv,

tvri. Judul My Hope

Indonesia dganti mnjd sbuah

penantian. Di India prnh

dputar dg jdl yg sama amp;

b’hasil m’hipnotis (collective

hypnosis)jutaan

penduduknya. Sebarkan

kteman2 muslim lainnya

No way, folks… mengenal Yesus Kristus tidak dengan hipnotis-hipnotisan. Ketika seseorang mengaku Yesus Kristus menjadi Tuhan dan Juruselamatnya serta dibaptis, dibutuhkan kesadaran dunk. Concioussness. Kesadaran yang diilhamkan oleh Roh Kudus yang menginsyafkan kita dari segala dosa kita. Period. Since when Christian believe in hipnotism ???

Gw sendiri kadang suka nonton dakwah Islam di tepe-tepe tuh… En gak ngebikin gw jadi muallaf tuh, but at least, I know Islamic values…

Next gossip, please…

Semua Gereja sudah menyetujui penayangan acara ’sakral’ itu. Semua institusi bermayoritas Kristen sudah menuggu - nunggu hal itu. Semua penginjil Zionis sudah mengharapkan acara seperti itu. Tujuannya, agar seluruh Indonesia dapat menerima Yesus sebagai Tuhan.

Gak juga, gara – gara ada larangan kayak gini justru orang Kristen yang gak mau en males nonton jadi pengen nonton (hehehe) *I’m one of them !*

Oh ya, rasa-rasanya orang Indonesia mesti belajar membedakan Kristen dan Yahudi, Evangelis dan Zionis dan lain-lainnya itu… Kok rasa-rasanya banyak yang gak bisa bedain ya ? Ketahuan kurang info dan paranoidnya… (woupzz)

*16.30 WIB. Stop Blogging. Watch The Movie*

Okay ! Gw udah nonton. Gw cuma bilang…. Restu Sinaga keren banget ! (hehehe)

Huhuhu…What can I say, ternyata film-nya seperti sinetron kebanyakan kok. Bedanya hanya film ini talk bout Christ, not Allah SWT. Gak ada istimewanya. Biasanya sebuah sinetron penuh dengan dialog Astagfirullah, MasyaAllah, Alhamdullilah, dll… Yang ini tidak, bahkan kalimat Puji Tuhan pun jarang. Hanya di penghujung sinetron tersebut itu diungkapkan pesan keselamatan dari Yesus Kristus. That’s it ! No salvation invitation ! Meskipun di akhir sinetron itu ada link direction ke website My Hope. Hanya itu…

Gak ngerti deh, apa orang jadi terhipnotis untuk buka website My Hope tersebut… hihihihi…

So tantangan gw di blog ini… yaitu gak mungkin banget kalau film My Hope pake hipnotis-hipnotisan terbukti benar.

Kesimpulannya ?

Gw nemuin orang-orang yang paranoid ama sinetron Natal… Bangsa Indonesia kagak dewasa menyikapi perbedaan. Gw tinggal di masyarakat yang aneh, yang gak menyukai warna pelangi. Gw tinggal di masyarakat yang bisa ketakutan ama sinetron rohani tapi demen kisah pocong ama cerita seks tengah malam. Titik. (udah speechless)

PEACE OUT !

GOD BLESS !

Dapet ‘tugas’ dari Leoerk mengungkapkan khayalankyu di tahun 2008.

Huhuhu… Mari kita mengkhayal… 

1)         Sepanjang tahun 2008, kamar ku menjadi kamar terapi dan terbersih…. Hehehe.

Karena selama ini kamar gw berantakan gara-gara bukuuuuuu, bukuuuuu, bukuuuuu, dan bukuuuuuuuuu…… Huahhh, I love books ! hahaha. 

2)                  Doing good (supposed to be great, but I realize need time to be great) in my job / my ministry. 

3)                  Tahun 2008 minimal gw ‘jalan-jalan’, entah ng-backpack ma temen-temen ato ma keluarga. Pokoknya jalannnnnn…. Bosan ma Jakartaaaaaa….

Jakarta sumpek, Jakarta menyebalkan, Jakarta berasap, Jakarta crowd banget, Jakarta banjir, Jakarta gak bangettttttt…. 

4)                  Back again to my study…. (entah kul sabtu-minggu, entah regular, gak tauuuuu….. God’s will ! ) 

5)                  Running my commercial website or weblog. (bikin ‘pipa saluran’ yang lain hehehe…) 

6)                  Ketemu dengan teman-teman lama dan menertawakan kebodohan masa lampau (hehehe) 

7)                  Makin pinter, makin mudeng, makin banyak ilmu soal Online Business. Hehehe, dasar manusia online…

         Yang terakhir ini agak-agak rohani nih… hehe. More intimate with Christ. Just hands up my hands to my Heavenly Father in my everyday life. Live to the fullest. Tidak dengan kekuatan sendiri. Tetapi benar-benar bersama Dia !

(Amin ! Haleluya ! hehehe)

Dan ini termasuk, meet people and winning souls. Tell the world that Jesus Christ is Lord and will coming back again to the world that He created. Tell the world that everyone must be ready for that day and has their own relationship with The Creator. Cause to see the signs on this earlier days, kedatangan-Nya benar-benar dekat… 

Fiuhhh, I’d done my job, Leoerk… !

Kamu senang dan kamu puas… ??? hehehe…

Hmm, kebetulan kemarin datang not as usual audience, tapi datang as Pers

Excited, tapi ada *amp;^%$ dengan panitiahellip;

Gak ngerti, aneh aja dengan seorang oknum dari panitia. I just can say, ldquo;Whatrsquo;s wrong with that girl ???rdquo; Hehehellip;

Yang jelas my friend (or partner) dari media teve kebetulan memang gak bisa datang. Many reasonslahhhhellip; (salah satunya ada jadwal shooting). Trus baru juga datang en selesai registrasi untuk masuk, datanglah si cewek inihellip;

ldquo;Dari *** ya ?rdquo;

And we said, ldquo;Yes.rdquo;

Truz dia nanya lagi, ldquo;Team SL jadi datang gak ya ? Katanya mereka gak jadi datang soalnya gak bisa liput ?rdquo;

And me and my friend ngasih jawaban, ldquo;Kayaknya enggak.rdquo; -gt; ldquo;Mereka belum konfirmasi.rdquo; -gt; my friend.

And then, that girl ngomong dengan mimik yang menyebalkan banget, ldquo;Oh, kalo gak datang juga gak papa kok.rdquo; And then, just give a little chit-chat and leave us.

Lho, maksud loooo ????

Hehehehehellip;.

Gila, itu gw gak ngerti, apa usher ato humas ato PR yang ngomong kayak gitu. So unprofessional.  Lagian gw kagak ngerti masalahnya apa, kok sewot ke kita ?  *heran mode on*

Tapi saya bisa membedakan kok, dari oknum yang menyebalkan dengan keseluruhan konser (hehe)

Yang jelas, ALL THINGS NEW Concert was very coollllllllhellip;.! Four thumbs up !!!

Love the effort and preparation, pasti kerja keras banget

Benar-benar keren en gak nanggung-nanggung, salut !

No, I’m not talking about my prophecy…hehe. Tapi ini adalah nubuatan semenjak bangsa ini berdiri. Gak percaya ? Visit Indonesia-NYA.

Nubuatan gak ada apa-apanya ketika gak ada orang yang mengerjakan nubuatan tersebut. In everything we do, we are working on that prophecy. GOD Bless Indonesia ^_^

How To Enjoy Your Life and Your Work.

Itu judul aslinya dari buku karya Dale Carnegie. (Who else ? :D)

Kebetulan buku yang gw baca adalah buku lama dan tua sepeninggalan bokap. Banyak banget sih buku tua klasik yang beliau punya. Dari beragam topic, dan kebanyakan juga adalah buku-buku best-seller dimasanya. Jadi buku klasik yang ‘tahan lama’ hingga sekarang, dalam arti kata buku-buku tersebut masih dicari hingga sekarang ini. 

So I read How To Enjoy Your Life and Your Work. Buku ini sebenarnya merupakan karya terpilih gabungan dari dua buku Dale Carnegie sebelumnya, yaitu How to Stop Worrying and Start Living juga How to Friends and Influence People. Wow, yummy. Good selections from good books from good author. 

Di buku ini ada poin-poin dari masing buku, Rules from How to Stop Worrying and Start Living :

1.      Do not imitate others.

2.      Apply these four good working habits :

·    Clear your desk of all papers except those relating to the immediate problem at hand.

·     Do things in the order of their importance.

·    When you face a problem, solve it then and there if you have the facts necessary to make a decision.

·     Learn to organize, deputize, and supervise.

3.      Learn to relax at your work.

4.      Put enthusiasm into your work.

5.      Count your blessings – not your troubles.

6.      Remember that unjust criticism is often a disguided compliment.

7.      Do the very best you can.

Rules from How to Win Friends and Influence People :

1.      Don’t critize, condemn, or complain.

2.      Give honest, sincere appreciation.

3.      Arouse in the other person an eager want.

4.      Become genuinely interested in other people.

5.      Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.

6.      Show respect for the other man’s opinions. Never tell a man he is wrong.

7.      Begin in a friendly way.

8.      Get the other person saying “yes, yes”immediately.

9.      Let the other fellow feel the idea is his.

10.  Appeal to the nobler motives.

11.  Call attention to people mistakes indirectly.

12.  Talk about your mistakes before criticizing the other person.

13.  Ask questions instead of giving direct orders.

14.  Let the other man save his face.

Setahu gw buku ini masih jarang, tapi yang How to Win Friends and Influence People termasuk masih ada di pasaran. Yang jelas juga, buku-buku Dale Carnegie termasuk jaminan mutu-lah meskipun karyanya adalah karya-karya tahun jebot
