ethe’s

last tuesday i went around jakarta.. actually i lost while looking for a street…
it is always nice to get around with my husband, we also enjoy the time when we lost the way…

dreaming about being rich, don’t have to go to work each day on weekday. what a beautiful life…
dreaming about we have enough money that could support our lives by its interests only. what will you do then, my husband asked me, won’t you be boring without your job?

i said, i want to do a lot of things when i didn’t have anything to do…

i will buy a printing machine then find any order for the machine and do it by myself. just for fun, i said to my husband.
there are a lot of things i want to try to do just for fun, not for living, i said.
he said, later we would be able to write a book about some business that we have tried for fun based on our experiences…

on the way where a lot of skycrapers beside us…
i want to clean one of the window cleaner on the building also, i said.
but.. you are afraid of the height, aren’t you, my husband asked.
yes.. but i will only clean the lower floors only, i answered.
he said, who will take you as the employee by considering your phobia of height?

no, i said, nobody will. i will clean the window of my own building!

you dream too far… my husband smiled at me, i was only dreaming having enough money to support our living, not having a building.

dream is always as free as breathing… i can dream anything i want.

a day after: i think about our dreams.

would it be the same when someday i, the owner of the skycraper, pass through that skycrapers road again? what kind of dreams i will have by the time?

(people change. “coz nothing last forever, even though november rain,” axl rose sang)

just like what my lovely dad always says: – each word comes from my mouth is a prayer for my life – each act i made is a harmony to be synchronized with the universe

so, why not starting only saying good prayers instead of grumbling?

our engagement day…
happy anniversary for us
today, a year ago, our families talked about our future.
here we are now, live in our future as husband and wife…

may the God Lord bless us with endless love and the faith that we could face everything together hand in hand since we are one and not to be separated. amen.

there are so many ways for us to learn about life. each person we met, each condition we were is a valuable natural teacher for us…
these last few days i learned much from taxi drivers…

first taxi driver:
“this taxi company is miserly! no wonder if the employees tend to ‘steal’ from the company”
morale -> listen to your heart… stealing is never a way out. if you don’t like the company, just find another.

second taxi driver:
“having enough money is the way we live our lives. when you have more money, you need more to spend. once you decided you have enough money, you do ”
morale -> happiness is right in the palm of my own hand.

third taxi driver:
“be prepared! save as much money as you could when you were young. just in case… you will never know. in case bad things happened, just enjoy. there must be away. ”
morale -> never give up. always one more try when you get down (reminds me of Manowar’s song.. hmm.. my fav one). prepare the path for your future, starting from now on!

well…. life is always about learning new things. i just wanna be the one that faced them with wide eyes open, brightly and full of spirit. be with me.
