Happy Birthday To Me

J'ai trente ans cette année. Welcoming myself into the Club 30 holds a lot more significance. Celebrating a birthday doesn't mean cutting the cake and making a wish merely. Birthday reminds me of the journey I've been through. It also reminds me of growing older and becoming mature. One more thing, a birthday becomes important to celebrate my existence, that I'm alive, that I create and innovate, that I hug all my dreams, and that I let the Universe conspire in supporting me. I am grateful for what I have achieved and what I have not so far. I am always ready to let go of what is not meant to me and to receive the abundance sent to me. 


Today I am celebrating my birthday in silence, not because I am alone. I decided to because I want to appreciate my energy and my inner peace. It's a humble birthday celebration by preparing healthy food and juice. People would ask about my parents, siblings, friends, colleagues, and boyfriend. They sent me heart-warming and sweet messages. Even my boss sent one and it made me feel acknowledged too. 


I rest my mind and body for better energy since tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we're going to do important activities. I am glad to be able to take a nap for almost 3 hours. I woke up happily and optimistically. I vividly remember last year's birthday when I assisted my boyfriend in going to an orphanage house. We shared happiness with 20 kids. It was his special day and turned out one of my best days as well. I realized that we don't have to be wealthy to share happiness with other people. It remarked how blessed I am to be with him. 


I do believe 30 is my lucky number that encourages me to have more capacities to begin life with a new sense of purpose using the wisdom and experience in the prior years. There are historical moments to celebrate on 19th May: Prince Harry married Meghan Markle at St. Geroge's Chapel, Manchester United lose 3-1 to Tottenham at White Hart Lane but win English Premier League title for the 3rd consecutive season, UK inflation is recorded as a negative for the first time since 1960, Japanese film 'Shoplifters' by Hirokazu Kore-eda wins the Palme d'Or on 71st Cannes Film Festival, and many more. The next 11 days will be my boyfriend's birthday. We cannot wait to celebrate more birthdays together, amen. 


Happy birthday to me, and let's celebrate the day with joy and glee!

Puisi Terjemahan William Wordsworth - I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

Hari ini, saya mencoba lagi menerjemahkan sebuah sajak berjudul I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud yang ditulis oleh William Wordsworth. Selamat membaca kawan! Semoga apa yang kita baca hari ini, membuat kita merasa penuh dan bahagia.  *** Umpama Segumpal Awan Aku Berkelana Aku berkelana umpama segumpal awan Yang melayang di ketinggian melampaui lembah dan bukit, Ketika tak sengaja kudapati sejauh mata memandang, Sehamparan bunga-bunga daffodil; Di dekat danau, di bawah rimbun pepohonan, Bunga-bunga daffodil melambai dan menari dikibaskan angin. Tak henti-hentinya laksana bintang-gemintang yang berkilatan Dan mengerjap di keluasan bima sakti, Bintang-gemintang itu, meregang dalam lintasan tanpa batas Di sepanjang tepian danau yang luas: Sekilas kusaksikan berpuluh ribu, Bunga-bunga daffodil saling beradu lewat tarian yang begitu lincah. Ombak di sebelahnya menggulung dan pecah; namun bunga-bunga daffodil Menghempaskan kilauan ombak itu dalam sukacita: Seorang penyair menjumpai dirinya te...

Let's Take Care of Ourselves

I found out I enjoy munching sweet snacks. I wasn't a big fan of it, but lately each time I tasted cookies, banana fritters, or other Indonesia sweet snacks, mouthwatering was the first impression my brain translated. Until I tried to neutralize one with sugar free tea, it helped me not to feel guilty a lot. It was a bit uneasy to control the intake since the works sometimes overwhelmed me. My number one assignment now is not to avoid the stress, but to regulate the stress. It's been a long time I didn't have respiratory system problems since the COVID era, now it seemed to keep coming regularly especially when I ate spicy food. It would provoke the shortness of breath and sore throat that led to asthma. Even when I had to rest at night, I didn't sleep tight. I tried to consume more of protein from red meat in particular, it still seemed hard to maintain the health nowadays. Only Allah would take care of me after I attempted my utmost to take a good care of myself. Insy...
