Sunday!

السلام عليكم 

Nice day, fellows! How are you? 
It's been a semester living in this town, time runs this fast. Living in far far away to earn money sounds boring, that's why I started re-decorating my room after letting it messy for several weeks. 

Baby, it's sunday! It's too in vain to waste your time on Sunday! Sleeping is good, but if you can do something better on the only holiday you have, it will be more useful. At least, you can do it once a month.

Back to business! What had I done on the last Sunday? Some other work.. 

I found it when I tried to re-organize my tops, bought it few months ago and didn't know what to do with that childish stuff.

A better way to wear the sweater is taking off the ornament.

It finally became something wearable, much better to suit it with other tops. 


You may have this look 


or this one.
So, which one? 

It will be easier to find the outfit.

I also had my shawls well organized, hanging on the wall and covered by the plastic. It's highly recommended, no need a special closet's space for the shwals, no more. 

and I had a candy case as an adaptor case. Put a sticker on it, and it's finish! I love cute things, that's why I bought the stickers in a supermarket. You can write down your name on it.

I've been living in boarding houses since 5 years ago. Before moving to this town, I lived in a big city to have a study. The point is, boarding house is your other home, make it comfortable as good as you can do. Living alone with no friends and family sounds depressing, don't make yourself depressed!

A Flashback

السلام عليكم


Back to the end of 2011, I observed an Islamic elementary school in Surabaya. The observations done eight times, eight meetings, and I had the three different classes observed. The observations and the analysis done well, in which the undergraduate thesis finally got an A from the professor. The picture above? it doesn't tell you the real story, of course. I wonder how I could get through the three semesters composing the undergraduate thesis, I joked all the time.

Adorable Characters

السلام عليكم

Talking about favorite movie characters, I have two. It's Rebecca Bloomwood, and the other one is the famous Wicked Queen. 



Rebecca featured in the movie directed by P.J. Hogan, adapted from a novel written by Shoppie Kinsella. It’s Confessions of A Shopaholic, the movie starred by Isla Fisher as Rebecca Bloomwood, a woman who shops until drop. Retelling women main problem, shopping, this movie presents world famous brands. Rebecca spends all of her money to shop, using 12 credit cards she owns. The problem rises when a debt collector named Derek Smeath comes. Rebecca who recently works in a finance magazine loses her job, breaking up with her boyfriend that’s also his boss, Luke Brandon. I love Rebecca, she represents most women with their major problem, shopping. Rebecca finally tries to fix her way of life, stops using the credit cards, and lives simply with the simple man she loves. She finally faces the problem wisely after facing the complicated conditions. 



Charlize Theron looks awesome in Snow White and The Huntsman the movie, great acting! Better to watch The Wicked Queen than watching the Snow White. Oh, how I love all wicked scenes, she plays the character perfectly. The strong character of the queen makes Snow White as the main character seems to be displaced. I don’t like the Snow white anyway, I don’t like the acting of Kirsten Steward ;b just saying 
mirror mirror on the wall, 
who's the fairest of them all?
;D

About Blogging

السلام عليكم

22.07 pm, I’m not sleepy or feeling tired.
It’s been 4 months since I worked in this town, I’ve already had new fellows and nice job. They finally become my family, one of many reasons I want to go to the office. Remembering the first time I faced my job, I was so lonely and began to feel more and more homesick. But now, it’s my other home.

It’s a long time since my last post. I don’t have much time for blogging since I worked at the office, spending my morning and afternoon, and even my evening there. I’ve been in love with blogging since the 3rd semester homework my lecturer gave to me, to post about everything I loved to my first blog.

Yes, this blog is not the only blog I have. I have three, actually, but I left the first one, and keep the other one private. I love privacy, sometimes ;) ;b I do love writing this much, to deliver your point of views to the others, so that they can understand what you are thinking about. It’s about sharing, to let people know about what you feel. A blog author will show you the real him/her through his/her ‘way of writing', it’s an indirectly introduction. The aim of blogging  is not about getting fans or inviting haters, it’s more about discussing something. Blogging gives you the feeling of happy everytime people post comments on your blog, ask you about the article you have posted, and appreciate your writing, that’s the best part.

Today’s blogging is dominated by fashion bloggers, those who post their pictures and outfits to the personal sites. I wonder how they have good preparations for good pictures, settings, and outfits, it must be complicated. Me? I’m a blogger, only 'blogger'. Someone who did writing since the first blog she made, in love with it and will live with the writing. I don’t specify my blog because I love to write anything I think interesting, even a picture can be a story.

About blogging, I wish I’ll be able to make a better writing. You know, it’s hard to improve your writing ability without the ‘writing’ ;(


Please mind the bad quality image,
I forgot to bring my camera that time.
Hanging out is one of some reasons why I never improve my writing
yes, this classic -_________- actually

Women of Jannah

السلام عليكم

I'd seen the fire of naar, and the majority of the people were women
-Bukhari Hadith

Do you want to see jannah? yes, I do, I pray for it.
I've just lost my best friend, I wish she will go there, jannah. I remember the last time I talked to her, in a very private moment, I never thought that she would leave me forever. I used to call her 'Bunda', because she's like another mum for me.Bunda taught me how to take care of myself when I had a study in the city.

If a woman prays five times a day, has a full month of fasting, and obeys her husband, she will be able to enter any door of jannah she wants
-Ath Thabrani Hadith

A very good model for me, bunda is a good moslem, kind hearted person, loving friend, happy wife and an awesome mother for her only daughter. I do really hope that she will go there, jannah. Being a woman may be hard, but as long as we live, we can learn how to be eligible entering the jannah. My bunda was 25 when she passed away, how about me? you? 

*dedicated to my best friend, Ailia Alfianti (alm.), with love

Gangsta Face

السلام عليكم

To command like a boss
Crossing legs as well
Grinning from ear to ear
One leg to kick. It’s impolite
Crossing legs to him, what a view
Heroic pose, with woman bag ;)
Thanks to my man, Frenky Kristiano
I’m the gangsta, you’re the police *still grinning*


Location: Bentar beach, Probolinggo-East Java

Trees

السلام عليكم


It’s been 2 months living in this town.
Hw’s my life so far? Feelin like a tree. It reminds me to a quote written on my undergraduate thesis attachment,
Just pretend you are a big tree. They come from a small seed, but with sun and hope, they really grow –Flix (A Bug’s Life)

To live here was not my dream, really. What I expected was to live with my mum and dad in hometown. Ya, that simple. But God took the decision, He gave me a gift.

I was only a small seed, very small seed. That moment, I had no hope, and didn’t able to see the sun. You knw, the condition was very confusing. I had to do something that I actually NEVER WANT to do. But God knows the best, He wants me to learn. I need to review myself, what I should do, and how to measure my own ability. He wants me to be independent as well, He wants me to survive in the worst condition.

I was a seed, a very small seed. But now, I have hopes, and to see the sun is something I have to do everytime I feel down. I have to be thankful for this. I’m not a fast learner, really. I’m a seed that needs more time to grow, and I’ve already grown up, one centimeter :b

By the way, composing the undergraduate thesis was not easy. I needed longer time compared to my friends, but I got through that moment by learning. I knew nothing about how to write an academic writing well, but then I learned. I wish I can do the same for everything I face this moment. I just need to do it again, “fighting”.
