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...

And I Said Yes, I Will

Mi amor, my love, Daddy K I said yes to our next journey, thick and thin I said yes to our progress, I'm all set I said yes to the mornings with tears and migraines  and to the nights with hugs and gentle kisses  I said yes to a lifetime prayer till Jannah This ring has given us power and awareness, love and affection, passion and patience, anxiety and peace, uncertainty and assurance, fears and courage, doubt and commitment, comfort over stormy days The knot we tie in this ring, cannot be wiped out Our loyalty worth more than anything we have And may Allah send us guidance, always Oct 2025

Dialog pada Diri

Saya percaya bahwa berdialog dengan diri dapat meningkatkan keintiman dengan diri sendiri. Biasanya, saya memulai dengan mempersiapkan satu atau dua pertanyaan, lalu dalam keheningan membiarkan diri sendiri secara luwes menjawabnya satu-persatu. Atau bisa saja bukan jawaban yang diperoleh, melainkan pertanyaan-pertanyaan baru yang lebih rumit dari sebelumnya. Tapi tidak mengapa, yang demikian itu membuat saya belajar untuk paham bahwasanya diri ini, terkadang bertingkah layaknya anak kecil yang ingin tahu banyak hal. Ia akan mengutarakan banyak pertanyaan pada siapa pun. Bukan semata untuk memuaskan keingintahuan, tapi juga untuk menyadari betapa saya tidak mengetahui apa-apa kecuali mulai melatih diri untuk lebih banyak bersukur, mengurangi intensitas mengeluh, tetap fokus dan melakukan yang terbaik pada hari ini, bila terjadi guncangan gunakan momen itu untuk berbenah dan tetap tenang, serta membiasakan diri untuk percaya pada diri sendiri untuk menyembuhkan luka-luka. Prosesnya tent...
