Big Changes

Hello All,

I missed blogging since I started my new job last Thursday. Full time position brings big difference in my daily activities. Everyhting I have planned almost changes. But anyway, I thanked God that getting a new job was a blessing when I really needed it. Test and interview went well and I enjoyed my new job although I could not avoid how tired I was after in home. I think I just need more time to adjust my schedule and new transition. I believe in the couple months, I will be fine, at least I will be used to it.

Well, in the next several weeks it will be Easter, so I think I would love to bring my post here in Easter theme until Easter comes. Last Sunday at church we sang "Majesty". I love this song, it can bring my soul come to God every time I sing its refrein. Below I will attach its video and its lyrics and I hope they will bring something good in your soul. (Remember! Big change happened because He was rised!)

Majesty (Here I am)
by Delirious

Here I am humbled by your Majesty
Covered by your grace so free
Here I am, knowing I'm a sinful man
Covered by the blood of the Lamb

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

Majesty, Majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty handed, but alive in your hands
Majesty, Majesty
Forever I am changed by your love
In the presence of your Majesty

Here I am humbled by the love that you give
Forgiven so that I can forgive
Here I stand, knowing that I'm your desire
Sanctified by glory and fire

Now I've found the greatest love of all is mine
Since you laid down your life
The greatest sacrifice

THE AUTHOR SHOW TV INTERVIEW: Pictures Before and After

Hello all,

I'm back again just to let you know that I've done my long distance-video interview just now with Danielle, the producer of The Author Show. She called me earlier and I started getting little bit nervous but in the middle of the interview, that feeling was gone and I enjoyed our conversation--the interview--via Skype.

Danielle said that I did well but it was longer than it used to be if the video would be sent to Youtube so she would try to cut the interview not more than 10 minutes.
If the result of editing isn't good, she will let me know soon and we will make other video call. It sounds good, isn't it?

Oh well, when I was waiting for her, I took several snapshots and several other snapshots too after interview. I attach them below. You will see the differences between using glasses and not. I also attach other picture I took yesterday when preparing a nice place for this interview so you will see my original face without make up and with light make up.
Ta da . . .

My 55th Blogging Award and Preparing for Video Interview

Hello guys,

This month is my break time month. I enjoy my days with no more tasks I have to finish in hurry except keep watching and managing the online writing course that is running now and has started since last week. Two classes! Wohoo!! More challenges! Reading e-books/books is other activity and this week I still continue reading "Yeshua". More e-books and other writing resources will be in the line for the rest of the weeks in this month. Thank you to Yunita Phillips who sent me her other Teenager Book entitled "Maafkan Aku" (Forgive Me). I read it in 2 days and really enjoyed. The story reminded me when I was teenager, he he . . .

This afternoon I was busy preparing a nice place for long distance interview via Skype tomorrow afternoon with Danielle from TheAuthorsShow. It will be delivered in web-video interview for the next 1-2 months. So keep visiting this blog to read announcements for this event.

While I was cleaning and arranging my online spot, someone delivered a mail that didn't belong to him. Voila!!! A new blue batik top for summer from my sister in law. I tried it and took a snapshot from Skype-video as you see on the left side. Ha ha . . . that's my original face without make up. I looked tired after cooking and cleaning. Btw, thank you, Cathy for a nice B-day gift. I love it!

NEW YEAR REFLECTION (11): Keep Moving Forward

My little daughter when she was five years old had made a surprise. In just several weeks she tried hard to be able to play hula hoop. She kept trying and trying till one night my husband showed me a video he took as I attach it below.

Then just several months ago in 2010, she made another surprise. I heard someone playing a song on the keyboard and I was sure there was nobody at home except me and my daughter. So I turned my head and saw her playing that song. I was so amazed. She did it by herself. When I asked how could she play it, she showed the light instruction on it and she kept practicing to follow it until she did it independently. I'm sure it would take some time till she was able to do it by herself without I knew. Below I attach one of the videos I ever took.


What we have learned from her? Sometimes we need to learn like a little child when we are pusrsuing our goals or dream. A little child mostly never gives up until she/he gets what she/he wants. Even a baby who is learning how to walk. I still remember when she was still a baby. She kept trying to stand up and walk, stand up and walk, and kept moving like that till she felt tired and at other times she would try it again. Again and again. And when she was around one year old, she was able to walk.

We've known already evertyhing isn't instant to reach our goals/dreams but needs a process and sometimes will take a long time. What we need to do is KEEP MOVING FORWARD!

Do you ever watch the movie of MEET THE ROBINSONS?? If you haven't yet, watch it!! This movie has a message to us that we should keep to move forward to reach our goals/dreams and also it will entertain you and your family!!! Don't give up! That's what this movie is trying to tell us. If we fail, it shows that we are getting to close to the next level. It means we have learned what the things that make us failed and we should not do it again but try other ways.

Below I attach the movie trailer MEET THE ROBINSONS!!! This is one of my favorite movies from Disney production.


And below is Little Wonders song, a soundtrack music for the movie MEET THE ROBINSONS. I love it!!! And it's also one of my favorite songs ever.


Little Wonders
Singer: Rob Thomas

Let it go
Let it roll right off your shoulder
Don't you know
The hardest part is over
Let it in
Let your clarity define you
In the end
We will only just remember how it feels

Ref:
Our lives are made
In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Time falls away,
But these small hours
These small hours
Still remain

Let it slide
Let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine,
Till you feel it all around you
And I don't mind
If it's me you need to turn to
We'll get by
It's the heart that really matters in the end

(Ref)

All of my regret
Will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget
the way I feel right now

In these small hours
These little wonders
These twists and turns of fate
Yeah, these twisted turns of fate
Time falls away
Yeah, but these small hours,
These small hours
Still remain

Yeah, oh they still remain
These little wonders
All these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away
But these small hours
These little wonders
Still remain
