Hey it's been a while

Hi.
It's been a long time since my last post. I'm good here, by the way, if you're wondering where have I been (now I'm the one wondering if there is any reader waiting haha) but really, I'm good. Life hasn't been as what I wanted it to be, but that made me learn a lot these *almost* 4 years. Ups and downs, joy and sadness, they make me stronger everyday. Looking forward to experience what God has in mind for me this year. Yeay!

One grateful daughter,

Terimakasih


Aku bertermakasih sama Tuhan yang udah ngizinin aku menapaki satu umur lagi di hari ini.

Aku mau belajar bersyukur untuk semua yang udah terjadi di hidupku, baik atau buruk, menyenangkan atau tidak, memuaskan ataupun mengecewakan.

 Terima kasih uda ngajarin aku hari ini untuk tetep inget untuk merespon secara benar, se-menyakitkan apapun perlakuan yang diberikan padaku.

Terima kasih udah mengajarkan aku bagaimana caranya menjadi kuat, walaupun sampai sekarang aku pun masih belajar bagaimana caranya menjadi kuat.

Terima kasih sudah mengajariku untuk memperhatikan kata-kata yang akan keluar dari mulutku, baik itu secara lisan maupun lewat tulisan, baik itu melalui dunia nyata ataupun dunia maya. Juga untuk belajar menghargai perasaan orang lain, sebagaimana aku pun ingin dihargai.

Terima kasih sudah mengingatkanku, bahkan menghajarku supaya aku ingat untuk tetap belajar untuk rendah hati, bahkan ketika orang merendahkanku.

Terima kasih sudah mengajarkanku untuk menjadi lemah lembut dan penuh kasih, walaupun sekarang aku masih belum mengerti benar bagaimana caranya mengasihi. Juga untuk mengingatkanku kembali, bahwa kasih itu adalah yang terpenting dari semuanya.

Terima kasih.

August Rush!

I remembered what I did after I watched this movie for the first time.. Suddenly I was so excited to practice piano again. Yes, it's August Rush!


photo: taken from google

This film tells about a gifted-young boy named Evan (Freddie Highmore) who was born by accident. He was separated to his parents, his mother, Lyla (Keri Russell) is a cellist and his father, Louis (Jonathan Rhys-Meyers) is a band vocalist who were forced apart by fate. When Evan was born, his mother misinformed by his grandfather that the infant has died.

11 years later Evan decided to find his parents. He believed that music will reunite him and his parents. With his ability to listen to the sounds of the outside world, he started the journey. In the journey of finding his parents, he met an orphaned musical prodigy named Wizard (Robin Williams) who helped him to find his parents by using his amazing talent in music. Then Wizard renamed him "August Rush".  Together they discovered the world and Wizard realized that Evan had a great musical talent growing up. He smelled an opportunity to take advantage of Evan, using his gift.
Fortunately, this film ended happily, with Evan reunited with his family.

What I like the most from this film is Evan's talent and passion in music. Everytime and everywhere, he always listen to the sounds of the world. That's one of his abilities, to listen to the sound of the outside worlds. I really admire his ability to learn many kinds of music instruments quickly, by his feelings.
This film is really recommended for you who likes music, or you who needs to regain your passion in practicing your music skills haha..
