Arizona-LA,, day 4: “one.. twoo.. threee.. SHOOOTTT…!!”

It was fun today.. I got to wake up in the morning and when I opened the curtain.. I see a huge chunks of snow.. I took a breakfast and.. I played with the snow also taking a bunch of pictures.. My uncle and Jeff was playing and throwing snow to the pool.. The pool was covered by a thick snow. and I took  a lot of pictures of them..  and it was fun..
My uncle dared me to run on soft snow and I did.. and.. hmm.. I almost fell on my step.. it was fun..

I went to this place called sunset crate.. I think. LOL.. and we planned to hike but then the track was covered by a lot of snow.. so we couldn’t hike.. so we decided to just play around.. and we threw snow at each other.. it was fun.. and also we was thinking to make snowman but then the snow was to soft it didn’t stick together and I took a lot of hella cool pictures..
It was hella fun bcoz it was the first time for me to play around with the snow.. I went snowboarding last time but we didn’t really play with the snow.. so,, it was hella fun.. we got to throw snows to our elders.. *evil laugh* well yea.. it was fun.. imagine.. every step I had, I stucked on the snow.. LOL.. It was the thickest snow I’ve ever seen.. It was superr funn..!!!

After lunch we had for about 7 hours driving,, and I was bored and I checked on my text messaging.. and I realzied that I had over 200 messages for this month.. andd geeezzzz.. I was so scared coz I was counting it.. and I had like almost 400.. means,, I need to pay $20 extra.. >< no…!!! I will tl pay the extra by my self without my auntie knowing it.. because she might cancel mine.. hahaha.. well,, yeaa.. I’ve been texting a lot these days..

We arrived in LA.. and We was thinking to eat in boiling crab but than we saw a crazy line there,, so we ate in this Taiwanese resto.. it was pretty good actually. we got dessert right after it.. and we went to blockbuster.. then now I’m blogging while my cousins are watching death race..

It was my day.. It was fun.. but LA part is boring.. coz.. MANN..!! you are in LA.. but then we are like watching,, not fun >< I wanna hang out somewhere out there.. -.-

oh well..

Arizona,, Day 3: “I see snow…!!!”

I woke up at 9 today.. and had a good sleep..

I ate B’fast down stairs and we went to and art plaza.. which sells many cool stuffs… my auntie bought a lot of shells for her front yard.. I bought nothing but I got many good pictures of old building of the artistic stores.. I felt like I was in Jerusallem.. haha..

we ate light lunch which was burger king..
because we were going to have an off road trip in broken arrow..
While we were waiting for the pink jeep to be ready but walked around the ared and see the stores I got some mug rug and T-shirt for my housemates.. and I saw many cool art stuff..
My aunty surely bought a lot of magnet for her fridge.. and I got a Hemitate ring for my self.. I’m happy with this ring…  I’ve been wanting a new simple cool ring.. and I got this black ring from stone.. but I get to becareful, because It’s stone so it might brake easily..

Pink Jeep was a name of a company that provides an off road tour.. they paint the jeep Pink.. that’s way it’s called pink Jeep.. It was my first experience going off road.. and I loved it..!!!! even funner than roller coaster.. first bump was surprising but we didn;t know that we were going to have many other cool stuffs.. and yeaaa.. I was amazed and extremely happy.. It was amazingg..!!!

First stop was on this rock hill and we could see many rock moutains and “wowwwwwwww” yeaaa.. it kept coming out from my mouth… As I came out from the jeep,, I cried I was too happy.. I was yeaaa.. too happy looking at the scenery,, It was tremendouss… It was amazingg.. I swear to God,, I’ve never cry for a scenery but I did.. I was just too happy on the first stop.. but on the second stop there were even more cool stuffs..

It was an amazing experience.. I had sooo much fun.. I haven’t had a happy time like this for a long time.. I hadn’t scream loudly lately.. I was happy to the point were what I felt was just happiness and beautifulness,, I didn’t worry about deadline or work or whatever.. It was amazing..

After that we are driving up to the Flagstaff and you know what.. I SEE SNOW…!!!!!!! OMG..!! I thought this year I wouldn’t have a snow experience but I did.. hahahhahaa…
So we stay in this hotel which there are many huge chunks of snow outside.. man.. I love it..

I’ve never been this happy.. for a longg timeee.. ><

Arizona,, Day 2: “It’s a nice scenery but it’s just ok on camera”

We got up in the morning and we had breakfast in McD.. It was a fancy McD..
Then,, we drive for about 3 hours to a place called Sedona..
It was a long drive again,, I slept on the road sometimes..

We rescheduled the pink jeep appointment because we were late for an hour.. there was a trafic..
So we hike a little and hmm.. we see a beeutiful chapel on top of a cliff.. and watch sunset over there.. it was pretty… but when  I tried to captured it on camera,, it was just okay..
I wish my camera could take everything and exactly the same like I saw..

We head back to the hotel and took a shower,, than we find a chinese food restaurant..
Surprisingly,, it was really hard to find a chinese food restaurant around that area.. I found one online,, and it was not on our GPS..
We finally found the restaurant and it was a fancy chinese food restaurant.. and I guess it was the fanciest Chinese restaurant I’ve evewr had.. Imagine..!! it was a chinese resto,, but the used granished to make the food look prettier they used brocoli cherry and some other stuffs.. we used silver ware to eat.. no chopstick on the table but I guess,, they have them if we asked for it.. but we didn’t really care..

We were done with dinner and we decided to watch movie.. and we watched “Yes Man” starring Jim Carey.. I didn’t really wanna watch but I guess it’s better than staying at hotel alone right??
the movie was okay,, the review said it was good but it was not really.. and yeaa.. it wasn’t that good..

and drived to hotel again.. and had a really good sleep..

Arizona,, day 1..

It was a long drive.. I didn’t drive..
but I felt the pain on my ass sitting forever.. -.-

\and finally arrived in the hotel and had a family seafood dinner..
it was deliciouss..!!

hmm..
and the I played monopoly with my cousins and the in laws.. I won like a lot so,, it was fun.

Xmas 2008..

I honestly cried on Xmas eve.. karena jem 11 malem usually gw ada di sbela nyokap gw di dalem greja kathedral.. ato,, gw dah kuar dr greja,, lagi nyari ade gw buat bilang Happy B’day.. or salamin semua orang Merry Xmas.. Tapi kmaren,, I was a lone at home chatting sama beberapa temen gw.. gw nonton satu pideo yang bikin gw nangis,, dan gw bener2 kangen banget sama kluarga gw.. Dan I spent sometimes buat berdoa… and said my Xmas wishes..

Gw kangen sama Xmas Carol yang di pasang sama nyokap gw dr ruang nonton..
Gw kangen sama pohon Natal yang di bawahnya gw taroin kado2 palsu biar keliatannya colorful..
Gw kangen nemenin ade gw latihan di greja bwt Misdinar..
Gw kangen nungguin koran tiap hari,, liat apa bokap/ade gw masuk koran..
Gw kangen sama temen2 gw di greja..
Gw kangen dinner sama family gw..

I wished for my hamily happiness,, I want God to be with themm all the time.. and I just want them to be safe..
I wished that I’ve the strength to keep in going until I reach my goal..
I wished that my family and I to keep glorifying God in any situation..
I wished that we can be together again..

I actually really want to spend my Xmas with my family and celebrating my bro’s Bday.. He is a big guy now.. He is cute with his girlfriend.. I’m happy that he is happy.. I’m happy that my mom just lets him to do whatever.. I really wanna see him.. I miss him a lot.. I miss fighting with him.. I miss arguing with him.. I miss it when I wake in the morning and I see on my left a cute little boy is sleeping next to me,, and when I wake him up he will be cranky and mad at me..

Happy B’day bro..!! I’m sorry I missed ur B’day again.. I miss you.. I have so much stuffs that I wanna show it to you.. I have so many stories that I wanna share it to you.. I want to spend my Xmas with you again bro…

Thanks for another Xmas,, Lord..

gw berasa Natal kali ini ya cuma another holiday.. gw gak berasa the joy of Xmas.. ya ke greja ya that’s it.. gw pengen kyk dolo lagi,, dmana gw menanti Xmas banget..
gw pengen ngerasain Xmas kyk saat gw kecil ngarepin Xmas..

Gak tau udah berapa banyak aer mata yang kuar selama liburan ini cuma wishing to be with my family..
Tapi.. yeeaaa.. I know one day gw bakal bisa spend Xmas with my family lagi..

Merry Xmas guyss..
benernya Xmas ini gw lebih mellow banget,, karena gw super kangen sama kluarga gw..

Ceramah Singkat..

Sebelom si iseng pergi.. dia nelpon gw dolo.. pamitan gak bakal nelpon-in ato ol.. gw mah ho oh2 ajah,, emanknya lama,, paling cuma sminggu.. ~_~ dah kyk mo kmane ajeh tuh anak..

dia akhir2 ngobrol bilang gini.. “Maybe you don’t want totalk about this,, but I really want to tell you something..” Demen dah gw,, inggirs lancar.. huahahaha.. gw bilang,, mo ngomong2 ajeh lah.. emank mo ngomong apaan sieh,, piling gw gak enak.. taunya apa yang die mo omongin bukan yang ada di otak gw..

Dia bilang,, (btw,, ini gw tulis intinya ajah ya) Maybe tiap Xmas itu bukan se-special Xmas2 sebelomnya especially tanpa kluarga.. Tapi coba liat si2 lain nya dah.. banyak ornag yang pengen ngerasaan Xmas dsini,, dengan lampu2 dll..  Trus memang yang tau bueener2 tau masalah gw cuma 3 orang,, ya itu temen2 bae gw.. dia bilang.. Mungkin gw lulus SMAnya akan telat dr temen2 gw yang lain.. pasti kalo gw balik keindo bakal di tanya2in dkk.. katanya,, coba dah.. tell your self.. kalo u dah berkorban bwt kluarga luh.. dan mungkin temen2 u yang laen gak ngerti tapi benernya u’ve done a lot.. plus juga.. Gak ngaru lagih,, brapa taon SMA yang penting khan hasil akhirnya.. siapa yang jadi apa.. siapa yang meraih sukses lebih tinggi..  DIa bilang,, wait another 5 or 7 years dah.. and you can prove it.. hasil kerja keras lu,, mental dan fisik..

Lanjut lagi dia bilang,, mungkincuma kita2 yang ngerti.. tapi percaya dah chel.. kita2 tuh kalah sama apa yang udah lu lewatin.. kita seneng liat lu dan semangat lu,, kadang gw ngiri,, gw bisa deket sama kluarga gw tapi gw gak bisa apa2.. tapi elo jau2.. elo punya misi buat keluarga lu… Again,, emank ini cliche,, tapi try to see the big picture deh.. 2 taon itu kurang ede picturenya.. like about 5-10 years Chel.. I know you will become someone.. Also,, I know you have your goal,, and I believe you wanna achive your goal,, but pls. please.. be your self too..

AKhir dia ceramah gw cuma senyum dan bilang thank you.. Walo pun gw dah pernah denger kata2 itu,, tapi kata2 itu lagi yang bikin gwberasasedikit lega ngelewatin Natal.. Rei,, cuma pengen gw bisa ngelewatin Xmas gw dengan tanpa beban yaa jug abikin dia rada tenangan..

Oh btw,, kmaren hari ibu di indo.. gw kangen nyokap gw.. dan gw kirimin dia SMS.. “happy mother’s day,, mi.. I love you,, mom” kyknya itu pertama kali gw bilang I love you ke nyokap gw..
Karena kita di indo khan gak biasa bilang ILU.. dan yeaa.. stela gw baca artikel,, untuk bilang lah sbelom semuanya terlambat,, gw decided bwt ngirim sms itu..
dan dalam hati gw bilang.. “Tunggu mom,, maybe the next 4 years gw masih gak bisa apa2.. but believe me.. 7 taon dr hari ini.. or less.. gw akan jd seseorang.. dan semua itu bwt nyokap.. just for my mom.. gw gak peduli apa kata orang,, yang bilang gw gak lulus2 ato.. apalah mreka pikir ttg gw.. kalo kata si Bismarck.. “The end justify the means” I believe dengan brapa puluh taon gw skola,, dengan major apapun gw lulus… tujuan gw cuma bwt bikin nyokap gw bahagia..

btw,, So longg Rei.. ati2 yaa.
moga2 lu semped baca post ini yap..

Be Thankfull..!!

Ternyata,, untuk jd orang yang thankful tuh susa.. untuk bisa slalu bersyukur tuh susa..
apa emank dasar sifat manusia tuh gtu ya? gak pernah puas..

kmaren gw jalan2 ke greatmall.. hmmm..
gw liat jaket ada yang bagus.. toh gw juga butuh bwt ke Arizona. tapi.. gw berusaha untuk gak mao beli.. dan emank sukses pulang dengan tangan kosong..
toh memang khan belakangan gw dah lagi jarang beli apa2.. lagi mo save money ceritanya.. huaahah..

Tapi,, I started to pray.. and kept questioning and wishing.. like..
“Andai gw punya banyak duid yang gak usa ngirit2..”
“Kok 17 dollar ajah kok berat banget sieh bwt gw? “
“Kenapa gw gak punya duid sieh..”

dan so on and so forth..

tapi gw realize.. kalo emank belakangan gw lagi blajar to be thankful..
jd instead of asking and whining.. gw lagi blajar bwt thanking..

so,, di tengah mall kmaren doa gw bruba..
“Thanks God,, karena gw masih punya baju dan jaket jadi gak kedinginan.. sepasang sepatu.. Gw makan tiap hari.. Gw gak kekurangan..”

The point is gak kekurangann..!! karena semuanya pas2 aza.. gak berlebihan.. toh Tuhan gak suka sesuatu yang berlebih khan??

Susah,, bwt sadar kalo kita mesti thankful..
karena emank nyatanya,, kita suka menyesali hidup dll.. tapi belajar ajah kali yaa.. salah satu pelajaran hidup..

So,, instead of saying
“gw pengen banget spend xmas sama family gw.. dan kenapa orang lain bisa,, tapi gw nggak”

gw mao blajar untuk ngomong
“Makasi karena gw dah dikasi kesempatan untuk ngerayain Xmas,, bersama siapapun itu..”

Dengan be thankful.. kita gak akan nuntut terus dan gak akan merasa gak puas terus.. kita bakal hepi lah..

aniwaee..
happy holiday y’all..

and be thankful,, won’t you?

The end of today..

gw hepi.. akhirnya slese juga semes ini..
jujur ya,, berasa cepet banget..

gw hepi karena banyak hall.. beberapa..
tapi juga sedih karena beberapa hal..

makasi bwt teemn2 saia yang nemenin gw,, di saat2 gw mumed,, bt,, senang dll.. ada yang kena semprot juga pula.. hauhahahaha..
