Indonesian in North Carolina, USA

Today is February 12, 2010, I really don't know what to do, too many things bad happen arround that need extra thought of me to move on.

I have been bussy doing dilly dally at Facebook which is fun because I can communicate with my old and new friends from all over the world. But sometimes, for being to active on that site, made all the feelings involved and boy oh boy, sometimes beyond me. Beside I have too much waste my time and energy just "glueing" my eyes to Facebook. I need to stop and back to the track that I should follow to the future. No more distraction to reach my future brightspot.

I don't need people read my mind or my opinion anymore. I just want to do it without considering what people are going to say. Nope, not anymore. I am almost 40 next month and it means, close your mouth, open your eyes and ears and count one to five whenever you want to open your mouth.

Wise word is saying that life begins at 40, I hope my glamour life will start next month. I am tired of too much consideration whenever making something new. I want to have fun in life. I believe God will answer about this request soon. Amen.

Oh well...that's the news from today, I wish nobody read this, so I can explore my feelings freely....

It has been a while I am not using this "gadget" anymore, yep, been bussy with Facebook that the easier way to communicate actively with my old friends that I miss them so much.

It is so hard to know that this is my fifth years in North Carolina and never got the chance to visit my mom. Oh God, let me have the money and the opportunity to visit my mom on March 4, 2010. I want to celebrate my birthday with my mom in Jakarta. Please fulfil my wishes God.

Hmhh...my brain is really stuck can't read any book, can't write any word. Probably my boredom is really in a high volume.

Well...I should go now...probably next time, it will be better....

Today, 3 years ago, June 12, 2005 at 4 PM in Winton Baptist Church auditorium, we got married-the pastor was Pastor Heins Adams.

Everybody said that it is hard to get united between 2 individual into 1, especially me and Scott from East and West.

My opinion is not trying to think what we should be or gonna be but what are we going to do now. Just let God works on your life and trust HIM without wondering. I think everything will be all right. That's why in this moment...
I am going to thankful what God has been giving us present. That is to be together all these times in any circumstances, Praise the Lord.

Here is our thankful:



Thank you Lord

Today 3 years ago we were standing before you to say I do
From two united into one
From East and West united into one

Thank you Lord for blessing us
And because of you, we are united as a couple
Because of your love we can share each other love

Thank you Lord for always be with us
In the hardship or flowery some
You never got your hands off us

Thank you Lord for giving us so much love
We can survive in the big wave of life
We can give our love to the loves one also

Thank you Lord for the opportunity to keep on going
So you add one more year to live in the marriage-ship
And teach us to count the blessings

In the name of Jesus, we pray, amen

This is my city in Central Jakarta. This is a business centre, it looks paradise to everybody in this world especially for people who has a lot of money. You can find many shooping centre has 8 floor just for entertaining your shopping and eating desire.

You will love it.

Years ago before my former city-governor forbid all of the becak (like rickshaw) we still have this kind of public transportation in this city (but probably in a certain area still have them).

I got the picture from my friend in MP when big flood hit Jakarta. This place is near our street its about 3 miles from my house.

Yes...Jakarta got attack by flooding. My mom’s work place got hit until 4 feet height. She didn't go to work for a week. All the machines and documents were damage.

My aunt's house got until her roof. And she has 2 stories so it is about 10-12 feet…! Fortunately, my house was safe because we are in the higher ground (thank God) but still we can't go anywhere because the road is almost like in this picture everywhere.

I hope the government can solve this problem real quick so no “flooding-season” anymore in my beloved city.

Sunday 7 pm, May 11, 2008 was my first experience having severe thunderstorm. We had been riding to Winton from Outer Banks and the raindrops as big as marble mighty big and hit our truck like somebody threw the stone to the truck.

It made me, my husband and my kitten scared to death. We couldn't see the road at all and we couldn't stop either. There was nothing we can do except praying. And God guard us from disaster and damaging...but...
when we got Scott's mom's house, the front and back yard were full of limps and some of the trees got hit. Thank goodness that our home and little cabin and all the Downs (Joan, Evi, Scott, Weakey, Bebee, Missy, Pedee) are safe.

What an experience, huh?

ps: I don't want to write a lot because I feel not good to remember this scary moment in mother's day.

Happy mother's day though!

One day in the afternoon, we got somebody visiting our deck, at the beach-Kill Devil Hills, NC. In the picture above, it showed a little bit his face. oke contine...to see

Uppss..there he is...
He said, "I am posing."


Because he looked so cute so Scott took a picture of him and let him pose before his "eye-lens" and seems he enjoyed it.

Oh yes...he posed with our corn cob on his hand...he is not stealing because he knocked the door first to let Scott now that he will stay in a while in the deck (I wasn't at home on that time).



Now, he is ready to go...buh bye!
