The most precious blessing after blessings of faith and Islam is to have a friend who is pious.

Good night and have a nice dream..

I fall in love with Allison Dubois's three daughters from Medium, slightly in the first sight. They are so cute and smart! I also addicted with all the supernatural things this TV series is all about. Here, let me introduce to Ariel, Bridgette and baby Marie. Aren't they the cutest? :D

Both Mommy and Dad in this family are smart persons, an attorney and an engineer.

 

Sorry I don't talk much about the series itself, because the idea beyond posting about this is that several days ago, I dreamed about being with three little girls of my own :) It was such a beautiful dream, indeed!. :)

the journey: a glimpse

Will upload some pictures I collect from my friends (and my mobile phone too) we took during last week's trip. So this was actually a visit to our senior colleague's wedding party in Yogyakarta, so the office funded some of us to attend as representative. Besides, my manager suddenly planned a research meeting with fellow researchers from Surabaya and Denpasar office. Since we have an agenda to also visit Ulen Sentalu Museum in Kaliurang, then it's not only a business trip, but also a little vacation. :)

Here's the bus, we headed from Jakarta at 8pm on Thursday and arrived the next day at 9am. For some friends, the seats are not comfortable, but for me it suits well already, I have my best nap so that on Friday I have enough stamina. :D

After visiting Ulen Sentalu, we went to have lunch, and the toughest part is, our manager insisted of having a formal meeting, completed with hand-outs, charts and analysis. Haha

In the afternoon once the meeting was done, we finally headed to Hotel, imagine that we all haven't showered yet since yesterday. Haha (again). In the night, we had a walk to Malioboro. So happy to be in Yogyakarta again! yet I miss Jakarta somehow hehe :p

The next day was my birthday! Ya Allah I am now 25!:) And surprisingly in the morning, my best friend who lived in this city texted me and said she was already in the hotel lobby and brought me 3 cute little cupcakes! Thank you my little dear, I am happy seeing you with your hijab now..

So it was actually the d-day, here's us again ladies at the wedding party. Oh yes now it's obvious here that I am getting bigger significantly! School makes me eat more. :p

The party was the last thing we have in the agenda, the trip coordinator canceled the go to the south beach" thing, because it was raining all the day, so we only got stuck in the bus parking in front of Vredenburgh Museum waiting for some colleagues bought bakpia before we went back to Jakarta again.

I am surprised too that my manager and my research coworkers were so nice to remember my birthday, they even prepared a birthday cake. The nicest part was they didn't put any number there and replaced it a question mark "?", They though age will be a sensitive number for a woman. Although somehow, I am still the youngest among them. Heehe :p 

I am still waiting for all the pictures from the office's camera and all of my friends'! Conclusion, it's Yogyakarta that I always love. :)

the never ending is to be continued!

My office mates and I will be heading to Yogyakarta again tonight! :) The last time I went there was more than a year ago with my lovely colleagues, and now we're going there again to attend the editor's wedding party and to hold a so-called coordination research meeting there. Waaa, I am so excited! This is my first journey out of town since I started college since my last business trip was..ehmm April 2011 back then.

I grabbed the picture above from my dearest friend's photo album, it's his hometown in Yogyakarta. :) Can't hardly wait to see nature and beaches again. Yet I am sure I will be definitely missing you all. Salam.

randomly rambling

I dont think it's quite appropriate to write down a very personal experience of mine regarding to meeting an 'arranged suitor' my aunties had set for me wordlessly. I don't like this idea actually, since they didn't give me any prior clue about myself being arranged to a son of a relative I barely know. How does this sound to you girls? All I can say before  was just okay! because the intention behind it all is to help me. We never could know who is the rightest match if we never try  to find them, the saying goes. But after what I have experienced lately, I hope I won't be trapped in any kind of arrangement in the nearest time for a while. Until I am sure I can deal with what I have to deal with.

I am not gonna tell the world again that I am busy right now. I wrote it all the times,  didn't I? yet I know we are all busy, everyone's busy, not only me. But, I can't  deny that everything which was supposed to only just begun, felt down because I was so selfish by only thinking about my projects at work and my school assignments. Fyi, this guy and I have once slightly met in a family gathering, and it is quite enough for a beginning,  isn't it? As a new acquaintance, I think this guy should try to learn about me , if he wanted, starting from my daily activities first and stuffs  I  do on a regular basis ,as a FRIEND. What makes him so intent knowing me more and think that I already accept this arrangement and will move on to something really serious like.. marriage? Oh no man, this will not be going any further if my instinct doesn't sense good about this thing.

So, what do you think this guy should do in the first place, when I, the other part, don't feel right yet about what our mothers have been discussed together? He should be patient, shouldn't he?! A girl is not a thing you can opt and pick and bring home like you're buying something in a supermarket. For sure, I won't let myself be akin. 

And then, as this guy has made me felt like an option chosen by him and should finally be his, I let myself  became busier than ever so that I could test how good he will take care of his intention towards me. That is all. I was not giving difficulties to any parties since I don't even have the time to do things that can make matters worse, I just try to show him the real me, the meanest and most ignorant girl he could ever see. Face me, I want to see how firm his consistency is. That's all the first thing we should match before this deserves a step further.

And you know what?? He was getting brutal and very inpatient. He really wanted us to have a meet up again so we can talk about our vision and mission. Soon! No matter how dizzy  and hectic I was at that time  concerning my Project Cost Management's remedial midtest! From that time on,  I know he's not serious with me as I am, he cared only with his pretension about finally getting married. I wouldn't talk about how rude he eventually became. I know my rejections to his will about going outside and dating has made him mad, very mad. Mad enough to make him a good teaser. Impatience has brought him who seemed nice at first became a scary monster. I never imagined before that disappointment could change someone to be so different. Or perhaps that's the real him. I considered that it's true, he's inpatient and arrogant. So by here, I quit. No need to take any process.

I am thinking about telling my aunties that they actually don't need to find me a suitor or alike, for I somehow have found a good mate since a long time ago; a person who is simultaneously sympathetic and respectful to me that he never brings me seriously down in any way and is fully supportive with all efforts  I do to reach my goals, but better wait though, we still could give a little more time when everything between us has getting more..likely, dearest?:) I don't know yet. Wallahualam.

PS. For the son of my aunt's relative, I am really sorry. But this can't work because it just came in a very unsuitable time. I do hope that he'll find the right person at the right time. Amiiiiin :)

To The Fullest

Haloooo November...
I brought some good news here! the first one is that I finally have passed through my mid-semester test this whole week and another thing is one of my best friends invited us to a sushi dinner in a dimsum restaurant to celebrate her ** th birthday party last week, just the night before the mid-semester test started. :D

Here's the picture of us, We almost never did this way of posing since hmmm these last three years, perhaps? ;p

Anyway, I need to confess that I really miss blogging soooooo much, but I just can't find the right time to do so, oh and I even do not have any idea what to write. Engineering has taken all my energy all every single day, and I still need an adaptation too to my work performance at the office. So that's how then I am totally occupied by these two things. Continuing postgrad study at the university which I earned my bachelor degree feels not so much more different with the architecture school era even though now I am majoring project management. Still with the heaps of assignments and stay up in the nights and have an online discussion with curious classmates. Hehe. I think that's all, folks.

Happy Idul Adha, my friends! :)

Any other good news around here, November? Hmm.. I smell another birthday bash!
