Going to Theater After So Long!

I couldn't believe it that finally I could go watching a movie again in a theater.
Do you know that the last time I went to a theater was when I was still pregnant? That means it had been around 4 years!
It was great though. The best part was that I brought my son for the very first time.
He was sweet though. He did not ask to get out. He did not cry. He just sit quietly watching the movie. But I guess he was a bit sleepy. And on the half part of the movie, he was finally asleep :)
The movie was not really a kid movie. It was sort of an epic movie. Clash of The Titans :)  Have you watched it?
It was quite entertaining. Suitable for watching in a theater with large screen and good sound systems.
I heard that it was a remake of the 1981 movie with the same title. But I never knew the story before.
On the movie, Hades was the brother of Zeus. While what I learnt from the tv series Hercules, Hades was one of Zeus' sons. So I don't know which is the correct one.
Also, I never heard of the character Perseus before. It was played by Sam Worthington. He was pretty busy lately :) I have seen him in the latest movie of Terminator, and then Avatar and finally this movie.
The funny thing is in Clash of The Titans, he sounds exactly like Russell Crowe! His voice and accent definitely copy Russell's. If you close your eyes while hearing his speaking in the movie, you can pretend that he was Russell Crowe! He even had the similar haircut with Russell Crowe in the Gladiator. So I don't know if it is the originality of him or just simply copycat..but of course no harm in watching him though..just enjoy the entertainment.. :D

touched by an angel

yes...today i met an angel..

an angel that had lightened up my eyes, my soul, my life..

she reminded me of Him, that He's The One and All..and that we are in Him..

there's no I...no me..lost in the ocean, become one awareness..

just think it, feel it, then you have it..

so don't think of sadness, don't feel negative, cause those are what you are pulling to yourself

think of happiness, feel positive, let all happen the way He arranges

then we will all be happy for eternity..

PEMILU 2009--different feeling than last time

today, we just had PEMILU..national election for legislative members.

somehow i did not have the same feeling as the last election on 5 years ago.

in the previous election, i think i really knew which party that i would choose. but compared to this year election, wow, i was really lost..i did not know what to choose..i had chosen though of course..in spite of all..but..i was not completely sure of the one i had chosen.

and i heard on the quick count that the status quo is still ahead of the others, well, it's normal i guess.. not many people like changes..many are afraid of more chalenges..many are worried that the change may bring worse condition..so, instead of trying to have something new, they prefer to use the old one..

i'm completely understand and not against them..

however, we don't really know for sure until we have tried..and the result of having a new government is still a mystery..could be good, could be bad..

one thing needs to be kept in mind is that after we have chosen or made up our mind about something and then actually done that, we had to be sure that it will lead to a better thing..and never regret it afterwards.. so in the end it will definitely become a much greater thing for us.

Listen to your heart..since He leads you through it..

Christmas Holiday in Sidoarjo

It had been almost 2 years since our last visit to the city.
Last time we had a family picture taking, and we should wear traditional costumes. It was quite special of course, since it was a rare occasion.

And on the recent visit, twice visit of my son, voshan, it had been quite special all the same.
Why is that? Because voshan was baptised on one week before christmas. Here are some pictures taken of the occasion.

Obviously my son is quite hard to handle. Very difficult for us to keep him sit or stand still. But we had no other choice, hadn't we? :p
Well, it passed anyway, and he was baptised finally..:)


The christmas celebration was special also, since my husband's families were all gathered and so quite something else than usual. I mean, if we celebrate it home in Jakarta, probably only among our small family. But in Sidoarjo, we can meet many relatives and have a different kind of way in celebrating the holy day.

One thing that I liked in the trip was when I got a chance to try the most delicious rawon I have ever tasted..hmmm...yummy... The rawon had a very tasty curry and very soft meats..very very recommended if you have a chance to visit Surabaya area some day..

We also tried to take a look at the Sidoarjo muds, but could not get very near. But we could see the emergency house for the refugees..and it was quite devastating. Well, hope it will not get any worse and nobody will get hurt anymore because of it.

Positive wishes

today I have heard the information that made me so disappointed.
many people in the organization behaved inappropriate.

lack of professionalism
leaders lack of leadership
lack of sense of responsibilities
lack of decision making
lack of team player
selfish and self-oriented
no bravery and wisdom
no sense of belonging

absolute disappointing

for that matter, what can i do?

suddenly i realize, all i can ever do is praying, wishing and hoping for the goodness and kindness to come to and touch those people.

i wish for the love, kindness, truly happiness, goodness, wisdom and everything good to come among us all.

whenever we think of positive things, there will be no room for the opposite.

let's share the goodness
share the kindness
share the wisdom
share the professionalism
share the love

then we will all be able to live with the true happiness

in God's blessings

Voshan enters a playgroup

It has been twice visit of my Voshan to join his class of playgroup. Actually he had been into the same class three times, but the first time was a free trial.

I was not surprised though that he still could not really stand still when we were supposed to gather around. Voshan is still enjoying himself and likes to do things on his own. It's not that he can't share at all. It's just he is not ready or not comfortable yet among a lot of people or even small groups of strangers.

And when you want him to attend or watch anything new, do not expect it to last more than a minute. But when he gets familiar and used to and even grow to like it, then you can be sure that he can stand all night watching the show. Well, at this moment, to draw his attention, we can get him to watch Diego, Dora, Teletubbies or Baby TV shows.

Even I enrolled him to a playgroup, I don't expect too much, I just want him to be able to play and meet other kids in his similar ages..and certainly so that he can have a great times of his early life.
