Life is Wonderful

I thank everyone who comes into my life. I believe our meeting is neither unexpected nor coincidence. It is designed by the Universe in devine timing. The chapters of life seems colorful and they celebrate my existence. If they were books, they would be my go-to book to read, wherever I'd go. 


Today is a wonderful day. I could meet my man (the picky eater who fonds of lamb meat, oil based liquid soap and lotion, who's good at maintaining fabrics that are white, who never woke me up when I was sleeping even when he rang me and noticed the phone call would wake me up, he would say sorry and let me hit the hay again, who never let me sleep late, who respects my opinion and listen without judging, who displays peace even when we had hard convos, who shared his dreams for us, who lend me his ears when I need someone to talk to, who's always excited to welcome my parents for silaturrahmi), I meet my boss at the gym (she spent time at the gym for swimming with her family, she called my name several times till I notice it was her, you know my eyes ain't my best camarad to spot people in public space), I met one of my neighbors (anw he was more than 10 meters away from me when he waved and called my name and just realized he sometimes kept his car improperly in the car port so please Mr, do your best to not blocking people's house gate), and a good friend of mine who tried to make self-made soap for those with sensitive skin but still in trial error process, he promised to send me the sample after the one month curing process, it means I will be able to try it next year in January.


And anw, I appreciate myself who decided willingly to rest during the weekend. Only some paper work and 2 online classes were enough. I spent my time by consuming herbal drink and more protein especially from the red meat. I'm free from being guilty, I started to learn to allow myself to breathe, sit, and do nothing. I surrender only to Allah, who rule my life and own my death. Ya Allah, It must be You who save me even when I didn't inquire a prayer. But then how it could be possible to not have a constant dialogue with You? Alhamdulillahirobbil'alamiin.

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...
