I see the world so beautiful, but...


I recently see the world so beautifully pink and bubbly and I'm comfortable with it. But some people are so keen on changing my mindset about it.

Well, to them, I just wanna say, "I don't mind if you have different viewpoint with me. I don't mind if you see the world as a place full of rubbish. But if you choose to think that way, the risk is yours. Don't try to drag me onto your pathetic mindset."

Perbedaan Surat Edaran dan Pengumuman

Surat Edaran dan Surat Pengumuman adalah surat berisi informasi yang ditujukan kepada sekelompok orang. Dimana letak perbedaannya?
Ternyata oh ternyata,begini nih:

Surat Edaran : 
> Memiliki background permasalahan, sehingga surat ini ditujukan untuk orang-orang yang terkait dengan permasalahan tersebut.
> Contoh: Surat Edaran BPK tentang Cuti Bersama tanggal 3 Juni 2011. Permasalahan yang dihadapi saat itu adalah adanya libur nasional kenaikan Isa Al Masih pada hari Kamis, 2 Juni 2011 (terdapat beberapa concern seperti efisiensi hari libur pegawai negeri, dll) dan terdapat Surat Keputusan Bersama Kemenag, Kemenakertrans, dan KemenPAN RB tentang cuti bersama. Dari permasalahan tersebut, dikeluarkanlah Surat Edaran BPK tentang Cuti Bersama yang ditujukan kepada pihak2 yang berkepentingan, yaitu seluruh pegawai BPK.

Surat Pengumuman:
> Tidak memiliki background permasalahan. Surat ini dapat ditujukan kepada siapapun, baik yang berkepentingan maupun tidak.
> Contoh: Pengumuman Lomba Foto BPK. Tidak ada permasalahan yang mendasari pengumuman ini. Siapapun, baik yang merasa berkepentingan ataupun tidak, dapat membaca pengumuman ini.
Contoh Pengumuman

Well, I guess that's all. Haha. :)

Witing Tresno Jalaran Soko Kulino

Pepatah jawa ini terngiang terus di telinga saya sedari pagi. "Cinta tumbuh karena terbiasa". Ah, masa iya? Saya tersenyum kecil. Mungkin saja, memang.

Saya melihat sosok sahabat saya yang sedang menyetrika pakaiannya. Dia dan kekasihnya, contoh witing tresno jalaran soko kulino itu. Lagi-lagi saya tersenyum. Teringat betapa dulu sahabat saya ini tidak mau menerima cinta si dia, namun kini justru ketergantungan setengah mati. Hehe. Hidup memang lucu.

Namun ada sesuatu yang menggelitik saya. Seberapa banyakkah orang yang terbiasa berada dalam hidup kita? Banyak. Dan saya tidak bisa tresno pada semuanya, tentu. Haha.

Menurut saya, lagi-lagi itu semua kembali ke takdir. Cinta itu tumbuh juga karena diizinkan oleh Allah. Kenapa harus jatuh cinta pada sosok X ketika kita juga terbiasa bersama dengan sosok Y dan Z? Kenapa tresno pada si A yang sudah lama tidak dijumpai ketimbang pada si B yang setiap hari ditemui di kantor? Kenapa I bisa luluh dengan usaha pedekate si J, ketika si K yang sudah didekati si L-yang-usahanya-sama-besarnya-dengan-J tidak juga tersentuh? Kenapa ada suami istri yang baru bertemu setelah dijodohkan bisa langgeng, kenapa juga suami istri yang sudah saling mengenal sejak TK bisa langgeng juga?

Hidup itu memang lucu. Subhanallah. Saya tersenyum lagi.

Anyway, cinta memang bisa tumbuh karena terbiasa. Terbiasa bersama, terbiasa berinteraksi, terbiasa nyaman dengan kehadirannya. Namun, memeliharanya adalah hal yang berbeda. Cinta, bagi saya, adalah hal yang memerlukan logika, realitas, dan kompromi untuk bisa tetap hidup.

Tapi, well, apa yang saya tau tentang cinta selain sedikit saja? Haha. Dasar gadis sok tau, saya.

Been Very Thankful

Hello, there? Been good?

Well, I've been good, too. I'm going to have my pre-employment training in two weeks. Can't wait to have it :)))))

These months have been so miraculous for me. When I nearly feel down, I almost always have something excited and it brings up my spirit. Thanks, God :)


By the way, I'm being a committee of BPK Peer Review Training. Yesterday I took a picture with Joseph Christoff, one of the trainer. The training is superb. I wish I could join it as a participant :)

It's not just another dream


Everyone has at least one dream in their life. It is very natural and very human having a desire to achieve something in life. I believe that to have a dream is everyone's right, no matter how silly the dream is.

While for me, I'm a kind of person who has many dreams. One of my dreams is to have my Master's in Harvard University. I'm very interested in economics. I really want to make a significant contribution towards the improvement of Indonesia's economy. I want people to have a better quality of life, which I believe beside each people's effort, nation's economy contributes to it.

Still a long way to go. But I'm not lazy. I'm doing my steps to get there, even though it's considered a baby step. As long as I'm consistent, I'll reach it no matter what. The distance is getting shorter. God, please help me.

Well, we can reach our dream at the same time other people reach their dream, too. For example, when you also dream of getting in Harvard the same as I do, why don't we support each other? There is still chance that we both are accepted there. When you achieve your dream, I'll be happy for you, too. I hope you feel the same with me.

So what is your dream? I hope you can reach it and let's do something for the universe :)

I'm doing fine. You?

Hello, long time no see, huh? :)


Anyway I'm doing fine. Things have been quite surprising these days. One of them is, I got to move to another division in my office. Well, I can say that I am happy with it. Not that I'm not happy with my old division, I just simply like to experience new things and place and people. :)

 
me in my new office room^^

Recently I also found many interesting life lessons which I got from my own experience and from other people's experience. Thanks God for giving me these tests... All I can say is now I know that a test from God doesn't always makes you cry. It can be one which makes you feel so powerful and great. It also can be one that makes you feel so depressed and angry. The challenge are to keep calm and not to be too happy or too sad.

I also learned that we as humans always have mistakes and problems. Sometimes we just have to admit if we do something wrong instead of blaming people. Sometimes we just have to stop making excuse for all of the sad things happened in our life. And sometimes we just have to forgive.

“…dan bergegaslah kepada ampunan dari Tuhanmu dan surga yang luasnya seluas langit dan bumi. Disediakan untuk orang-orang yang bertakwa. Yaitu orang-orang yang menginfakkan hartanya di saat lapang dan susah (sempit) dan orang-orang yang menahan amarahnya serta memaafkan yang berbuat kesalahan kepadanya dan Allah menyukai orang-orang yang berbuat baik.” (QS Ali Imran 133 dan 134)

“Allah tidak akan menambah kemaafan seseorang, melainkan dengan kemuliaan, dan tidaklah seseorang merendahkan dirinya karena Allah melainkan Allah akan meninggikan derajatnya.” (Hadits riyawat Bukhari dan Muslim)

 I hope you guys are doing fine, too. Even better. :)

Would You Be Happier - The Corrs

The Corrs is one of my favorite bands. Their songs are easy listening and so meaningful.
I just found a lyric of a song I like. This is a song about never giving up in life even though you face some bad situations some times. You're gonna be just fine. Keep optimistic :) 

"Would You Be Happier" (taken from www.azlyrics.com)


Woo

Did you ever wonder where the story ends, and how it all began,
I do (I do, I do, I do, I do)
Did you ever dream you were the movie star with popcorn in your hand,
I did (I did, I did, I did)
Do you ever think you're someone else inside,
when no one understands you are (you are)
And wanna disappear inside a dream but never wanna wake, wake uuuuuup
Then you stumble on tomorrow, and trip over today

[Chorus]
Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine (gonna be just fine)

Are you not afraid to tell your story now,
when everyone is done it's too late (too late, too late)
Was everything you've ever said or done not the way you planned,
mistaaaake
So you promised that tomorrow, be different than today

[Chorus]
Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
You're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine
You're gonna be just fine
So don't worry baby

You're racing for tomorrow, not finished with today

Would you be happier if you were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if you played a bigger part
Would you be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think you're gonna be just fine

Would we be happier if we were someone together
Would the sun shine brighter if we played a bigger part
Would we be wonderful if it wasn't for the weather
I think we're gonna be just fine
I think you're gonna be just fine

Don't worry baby
Gonna be just fine
Don't worry honey
Gonna be just fine
Don't worry baby
Gonna be just fiiiiine
