You: You know what we should do? Going on a vacation for a whole year! In a yacht!
Me: But, I can't swim
Googling Benjamin Joffe and Mark Robson that I’m going to meet today on different occasion. My bad habit is meeting people without really knowing who and why :))
Are you kidding me?
Like seriously. Get over me. Get over the prospect that you can be friend with me. After all these, you CAN’T.
emiralda replied to your post: I talk on the phone to my friend Mohan from…
I know women multitask. Question is, do we also multi-feel? Like being so happy yet very sad at the same time?
I don’t think I ever multi-feel, Em :| *thinks* maybe like feel alone in the crowd, but not happy and sad in the same time
How to be happy: Be kind. Be silly. Be tacky.

Life is too short:
1. To hate. It only defines you, not others.
2. To regret.
3. To mourn your bad luck.
4. To call people n00bs. Shared joy is a double joy, shared sorrow is half sorrow.
5. Not to be in the present.

These girly things killing me. Fake eyelashes, fake eye colors, fake hair… This is overwhelming!!
*after spend 1 hour on contact lens counter, trying to put that damn doll eye lens to my small eyes and failed*
I talk on the phone to my friend Mohan from Singapore. He’s been very active in startup industry. He said, “We were talking about you, how did you run all different things at once!”
I said, “Mohan, women multitask.”

Business time
Getting into pricing in Salsabeela’s. Time for business. I have production price. Suggestion price from my team. And the final is always MY price.
How do I define the price? Intuition.
Counting hours to Salsabeela’s online shop launch *\(^_^)/*
You: I have excellent memory! I can remember days from my childhood
Me: Wow, that's great. Is that mean, from now on, you can't say that you forgot things I said, or my birthday, or anything? Because you have such an excellent memory??
You: I just dig my own grave, didn't I?

I’m preparing my second poetry book. Poetry has been my muse this past year and I really excited to do this with my bestfriend. He will contribute photographs in this book. Hopefully we can launch it in June. Insha Allah.
I am so used to having a lot of people around me. Jakarta. A city with more than 10 million people. With a size only 1/4 Beijing I believe. So, you can imagine.
The day we landed at Dublin’s airport, I confused because nobody around.
When we jumped on the bus, I really enjoy the journey, because even though we’re standing, but the bus is going somewhere (unlike the stuck traffic of...
I’m in a discussion with colleague from China, UK, etc talking about mobile behavior in Indonesia. I remember when I was in a meeting in Dublin, I told people that I brought 7 gadgets in my bag everytime. And they were like: “But… WHY?” :))
Average Indonesian has more than 2 mobile phones. I think I’m one of the average. Or a little bit more.
But hey, it’s...
Me and Kreshna already prepare the concept of our own ‘author photo’ for our not-written-yet book.
That’s what I called: faith.
Attitude
About attitude. I heard a bad story related to people’s attitude today. I think it’s bad, disrespectful and ungrateful. I totally forgot the feeling. I have cut any connection possible to negative people. So their presence is very minimal in my life.
After some thoughts, I must, however, experience toxic like that once in a while. So I can grow. Stronger. Better.
My two cents.
Alias
I love it when people give me cool names.
Wilson said I’m a spiderwoman; because I always network with people
Emie said I’m a Jill of all trades; because… well… I do everything
Noni said I’m a writingcholog; because I motivate people to start writing and finish it
LOL :)) I love em all. Keep em coming!

Dear L,
Met mbak AE today and talk about everything. She’s going to help on my boutique launch and we talked about our projects together. All exciting projects.
Once in a while she will compliment my face, “Oh my! You’re glowing!” and I will giggling while munching my salmon.
At the end of our ‘business’ session, we always talk about personal life. My...

After my divorce, I bought this book called “Janda-Janda Kosmopolitan” (Cosmopolitan Divorcees). When you’re really a divorcee, it’s hard to even buy books like that. I must bought 5 books or so just to hide the fact that I’m buying that book. It’s silly.
Now after a year, I finally read it. Maybe because I’m finally mentally ready to know what’s...
“Clinging to anything, anything whatsoever, shows distrust. If you love a woman...”
– Osho
A miser misses tremendously. Because life is for those who share, life is for those who love, life is for those who are not too clinging to things — because then they become available to persons. To cling to a thing is to cling to something which is below you. And if you go on clinging to things which are below you, how can you soar high? It is as if you are clinging to rocks and trying to fly in...

Wings
The way I see you is this
You are the wings in me That fly me high To places I’ve never seen before It’s beautiful and you know I love it
You are the wings on my back I can’t see but I can feel you You are the faith You’re always there to support (me) You are the wings to keep me warm My heart and soul Feel you too
I can see you smile “Now you get it. Everytime...
But this is hard
Love is possible only if there is no possessiveness and no jealousy. That means love has attained to renunciation. You love the person but you renounce possessiveness; you love the person but you renounce jealousy; you love the person but you don’t want to make a slave out of him or out of her; you love the person but you respect his or her freedom; you love the person but your love does not...

Sometimes it happens
And sometimes it happens that you are friends and then You are not friends, And friendship has passed. And whole days are lost and among them A fountain empties itself.
And sometimes it happens that you are loved and then You are not loved, And love is past. And whole days are lost and among them A fountain empties itself into the grass.
And sometimes you want to speak to her and then You do not...
I’m reading my new Osho’s book: Joy. Only page 2 but I have to put it down to let the words floating in my brain. They’re all already so true, it’s crazy.
I need a proper writing time
Remember a funny story when I was in Dublin and scheduled to have dinner with Irish author, Claire Kilroy. I was trying to find her books before we have dinner. So I went to the bookstore. I ask them for Claire Kilroy’s book. And the girl said, “All names have been changed?”
I was puzzled, “What? She changed her name?”
The girls laugh. “It’s a book...

I recognise you in all the beauty that surrounds me in form, in colour, in perfume, in harmonious sound: all of these mean you to me. You are superior to all. I see and admire - you are all! You are not only the solar spectrum with the seven luminous colours, but the sun himself, that illumines, warms, and revivifies! This is what you are, and I am the lowly woman that adores you.

June 16, 1593 I have waited patiently for one whole day without news of you; I have been counting the time and that’s what it must be. But a second day—I can see no reason for it, unless my servants have grown lazy or been captured by the enemy, for I dare not put the blame on you, my beautiful angel: I am too confident of your affection—which is certainly due to me, for my love...

Tomasso wrote to Michelangelo to ask why he had not written for so long: could it be that Michelangelo had forgotten him? Michelangelo replied that he thought he had convinced Tommaso of his “boundless love”
“……Perhaps you [said] this to try me or to rekindle a greater flame in me, if it were possible. Whichever it is, I know for sure that I’ll forget your name the day I forget the food I live...

Smile
After some thoughts
I came to conclusion
That you’re not my only reason to smile
But you’re the most important
Watch your own heart, don’t play around with me. You can fall hard before you know it. And no one can save you (but yourself).

I will pray
I will pray That if great moments are not forever If relationship expiring If love can die I hope you can be around as long as life allow us to And make our stories go deeper So it won’t slip away & vanished That easily
I will pray For love to be trapped inside us Fit us in the way we never thought of You understand really well how it feels
I will pray All kind of feelings stay...
We are visiting my dad's family in Sweden.

from Paige's vow (The Vow - the movie)
emiralda:
I vow to help you love life,
to always hold you with tenderness and to have the patience that love demands,
to speak when words are needed and to share the silence when they are not,
and to live within the warmth of your heart and always call it home.
