You’re Beautiful ! (REVIEW)

Holla Everybody,^^

Aaah~ Nonton nih drama.... Bener-bener bkin gw ketagihan dengan yang namanya DraKor alias Drama Korea. QaQaQ..

Okay skalian gw review dech, walo gw ga panda-pande review jg sih. hihi^^...

Cerita berawal dari, grup band A.N.Jell yang berencana menambah anggota baru bernama Go Mi Nam. Namun, Mi Nam menderita cedera pada saat akan serah terima kontrak. Manajer Ma, manajernya Mi Nam, meminta Mi Nyu, saudara kembar Mi Nam, untuk mengganti Mi Nam selama Mi Nam dirawat dirumah sakit di USA. Karena Mi Nyu dan Mi Nam beda jenis kelamin, tentu Mi Nyu harus berperan sebagai laki-laki jika ingin menyamar sebagai kakaknya. Awalnya Mi Nyu menolak ketika ia disuruh untuk menggantikan posisi kakaknya, tapi setelah manager Ma merayu Mi Nyu jika ia menjadi  penyanyi terkenal maka ia mungkin isa bertemu dengan mamanya yang telah meninggalkannya waktu kecil.

Pada saat pers konferensi pertama Mi Nyu memotong pendek rambutnya dan membalut dadanya dengan kain agar terlihat rata seperti layaknya dada cowok. Dan kemudian Mi Nyu pun harus tinggal di Rumah yang sama dengan anggota A.N.Jell yang lainnya. Trus gimana nasib Mi Nam selanjutnya di A.N.Jell ???

Gw suka banget dgn drama yg satu ini, ceritanya romantis lucu sedih, pokoknya emosi gw bner-bner  dibuat maen bangetlah haha~ dan juga OST yang ada di drama ini  dinyanyikan langsung oleh personilnya loh, A.N.Jell, bener-bener sangat wuuuenak di denger di kuping. :D

Pasangan dari Tuhan

I got this email a week ago from my aunt, and I feel so blessed, that what we asked for was not necessarily suit us, and we have to trust God that what HE provided well for us, because God will give the person we really need and can build us to be closer to God. 

Bertahun-tahun yang lalu, saya berdoa kepada Tuhan untuk memberikan saya pasangan,
"Engkau tidak memiliki pasangan karena engkau tidak memintanya", Tuhan menjawab.

Tidak hanya saya meminta kepada Tuhan, saya menjelaskan kriteria pasangan yang saya inginkan. Saya menginginkan pasangan yang baik hati, lembut, mudah mengampuni, hangat, jujur, penuh dengan damai dan sukacita, murah hati, penuh pengertian, pintar, humoris, penuh perhatian. Saya bahkan memberikan kriteria pasangan tersebut secara fisik yang selama ini saya impikan.

Sejalan dengan berlalunya waktu, saya menambahkan daftar kriteria yang saya inginkan dalam pasangan saya. Suatu malam, dalam doa, Tuhan berkata dalam hati saya," HambaKu, Aku tidak dapat memberikan apa yang engkau inginkan."

Saya bertanya, "Mengapa Tuhan?" dan Ia menjawab, "Karena Aku adalah Tuhan dan Aku adalah Adil. Aku adalah Kebenaran dan segala yang Aku lakukan adalah benar."

Aku bertanya lagi, "Tuhan, aku tidak mengerti mengapa aku tidak dapat memperoleh apa yang aku pinta dariMu?"

Jawab Tuhan, "Aku akan menjelaskannya kepadaMu. Adalah suatu ketidakadilan dan ketidak benaran bagiKu untuk memenuhi keinginanmu karena Aku tidak dapat memberikan sesuatu yang bukan seperti engkau. Tidaklah adil bagiKu untuk memberikan seseorang yang penuh dengan cinta dan kasih
kepadamu jika terkadang engkau masih kasar, atau memberikan seseorang yang pemurah tetapi engkau masih kejam, atau seseorang yang mudah mengampuni; tetapi engkau sendiri masih suka menyimpan dendam, seseorang yang sensitif, namun engkau sendiri tidak..."

Kemudian Ia berkata kepada saya,
"Adalah lebih baik jika Aku memberikan kepadamu seseorang yang Aku tahu dapat menumbuhkan segala kualitas yang engkau cari selama ini daripada membuat engkau membuang waktu mencari seseorang yang sudah mempunyai semuanya itu. Pasanganmu akan akan berasal dari tulangmu dan dagingmu, dan engkau akan melihat dirimu sendiri di dalam dirinya dan kalian berdua akan menjadi satu. Pernikahan adalah seperti sekolah, suatu pendidikan jangka panjang. Pernikahan adalah tempat dimana engkau dan pasanganmu akan saling menyesuaikan diri dan tidak hanya bertujuan untuk menyenangkan hati satu sama lain, tetapi untuk menjadikan kalian manusia yang lebih baik, dan membuat suatu kerjasama yang solid. Aku tidak memberikan pasangan yang sempurna karena engkau tidak sempurna. Aku memberikanmu seseorang yang dapat bertumbuh bersamamu."

Courageous Movie (REVIEW)

Hello guys,

Just finished watching the movie, "Courageous" and let me say..... it was awesome.
It was funny, suspenseful, packed with action, and heart-wrenching all at the same time. It's got everything you want in a movie, plus so much more.

THE RESOLUTION

I DO solemnly resolve before God to take full responsibility for myself, my wife, and my children. 

I WILL love them, protect them, serve them, and teach them the Word of God as the spiritual leader of my home. 

I WILL be faithful to my wife, to love and honor her, and be willing to lay down my life for her as Jesus Christ did for me.

 I WILL bless my children and teach them to love God with all of their hearts, all of their minds, and all of their strength. 

I WILL train them to honor authority and live responsibly. 

I WILL confront evil, pursue justice, and love mercy. 

I WILL pray for others and treat them with kindness, respect, and compassion. 

I WILL work diligently to provide for the needs of my family. 

I WILL forgive those who have wronged me and reconcile with those I have wronged. 

I WILL learn from my mistakes, repent of my sins, and walk with integrity as a man answerable to God. 

I WILL seek to honor God, be faithful to His church, obey His Word, and do His will. 

I WILL courageously work with the strength God provides to fulfill this resolution for the rest of my life and for His glory. 

As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. —-Joshua 24:15

THE RESOLUTION is a bold declaration of commitments that men are making to be faithful to God as the spiritual leader of their home.
I knew this after I had watched the ’Courageous’ movie. The principles this movie teaches are very good. If you haven't seen this, I REALLY recommend for you to watch it. It might be generally about fathers, but it calls out to young men too, that they should prepare themselves to be responsible and courageous godly men in the future. As for the ladies, there are guys who will be like these men (an some, perhaps, already are) so be patient and hold out for that man who will be your spiritual leader and protector of your family. It preaches the Gospel too so it's a good watch for your non-believer friends. :)
*please semua Papa maupun calon-calon Papa nonton film ini*
I’m so blessed to have Papa as my father. I’m so blessed. Thank you Lord :”)
And I hope that I can find the right man to be a husband and to be a father of my children in the future. Amen!

Gossiping~

Hello everybody, 

I want to talk about gossiping today. 

Nope. Nobody is gossiping about me. Actually, people probably gossip about me all the time but you know what I mean. Not that I know of from my friends and family.

I know people love to gossip. It's just in human nature because we're given a mouth so we just like to talk talk talk. This isn't just about girls but even guys can be gossip queens! I sometimes gossip too =_=. There is just something addictive about gossiping. I don't know how you guys define gossip, but to me - I see gossiping as 'discussing about other people'. I don't mean in a positive way either. As girls, we love a good banter but just how innocent is 'innocent gossiping?'.

I really try to discipline myself these days to not gossip because I realised it's unhealthy and hmm..a bad habit. I've distanced myself from some friends because I realised their gossiping nature wasn't good for me. I started to see behind the gossip and I realised that their negativity was starting to spread on to me.  When you spend enough person with a gossipy person, you will eventually gossip too. You've heard the saying, people who gossip to you will gossip about you right?

I used to love reading celebrity magazines to find out the latest scandals. Why are we so freaking nosy? It's none of our business. I don't know, maybe it's our way to distract ourselves from our dull lives. We stick our noses into situations that's not even the slightest bit related to us. You know what guys? There used to even be blog sites that I used to visit. Not frequently, only occasionally if I am really bored (I'm not talking about the forum site by the way, I don't visit that place for sure). I'm not even fond of these websites. They are childish, judgemental and simply put- unhealthy for us. They discuss the lives of other people and make horrible assumptions. I couldn't stand what I was reading but yet, SOMEHOW I would find myself on that site a month or two later. There are things that I learnt about gossipy magazines/websites/gossipy friends:

• When you talk bad about a person, you actually spread the negativity. So a person can originally like a person but after being told something about that person, he/she could suddenly change their mind about them. 
• It's an unhealthy habit. It even starts to change how you view yourself. When you do it enough, you can even become resentful. 
• It's not as innocent as you think

So these days, when I know I'm about to say something that could come off negative. I just tell myself to shut up.

Now, if somebody upsets or angers me. I try very hard not to share it to others. Believe me, it's tough but I know it's for the better. I know if I do talk about it, I will just end up making this person sound like an absolutely ass for the sake of my comfort. I would just be looking for the listener to agree with me. I don't want to give in to my pride if this is the case. In most cases, I end up being more frustrated anyway so why do I bother? After all, you may love gossiping but you wouldn't like it if you were being gossiped about right? If you're just going to talk bad for the sake of talking, then maybe it's better to keep quiet instead.

I will just focus on myself, my friends and my loved ones. I don't want to be nosy and I don't want to be the reason for sharing negativity. I don't even want to read/listen to negativity either. There are so many more things in life that matters and entertains me.

So now I look back at some of my friends who are still resentful and bitter and I just pray they will get it one day. I had a friend who is actually a lovely girl but she has so much resentment for an ex-friend of hers. She would stalk her photos on Facebook and send me the 'bad pictures' just to tease her makeup or how she does her hair. She feels better pointing out other people's flaws but she has no idea how the resentment is eating her heart up by the minute. With so much resentment in her heart, there isn't room for joy. I eventually drifted from her because we ran out of topics to talk about. I no longer wanted to hear the gossiping and I payed no attention to the negativity. I confronted her and told her in the kindest way that she needs to change her view in things or she will just continue to hurt herself. She told me to calm down and it was just harmless. I know it's not harmless. She was trying to spread the negativity. She didn't get it.


To people who are being gossiped about
Hey, you're not alone. You can't control what others say but you can control how you choose to deal with it. Sometimes, people can't help the way they are and you have to accept that you might not be able to change how they think. You might as well just go ahead and do the right thing yourself rather than waiting because they may never actually do the right thing . You can just stay true to yourself and focus on your family, friends and loved ones. These are the people's opinions who should matter. Remember "Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"- Dr Seuss. Don't let yourself be defeated on other people's opinion and certainly don't suffocate yourself trying to live on people's expectations. If people can't be happy for you- you go ahead and be happy for youself ^_^.

So the jist of this post is, "If you don't have anything good to say, don't say it at all". Before you enter yourself into a world of gossip, ask yourself is what you're about to hear/read good for your soul and heart? How does it make you feel knowing what you are reading/listening can hurt hurt to others?

Focus on yourself and try to not be so distracted with other people's business. The minute you stop gossiping and being distracted from the world of gossip- you will seriously feel your more happiness in your life. Not only will you do the World a favour, you will also do it for yourself. Keep smiling guys! ^^

A Fresh Start

Hi! So this is my first time posting for those who don’t know me my name is Octaviani Puteri but you can call me Via and while I am excited to be writing in this blog again and I also sad because I don't really want to leave behind the blog I have had for four years. But it had to be done, blogger doesn't have much in the way of privacy.

I just needed a place where I can put my thoughts (irrational or not) out there in a safe place with people I can trust. All my general posts will be on this page readable to everyone. I just want it to be a safe place for me to spill my guts when I need to. Some people don't want to hear my rants and thats okay you can just keep reading about my life on this page.
