another thought continues..

While chatting with my senior tonight, I found this article shared on facebook (mau mandi seceng dulu)

I've just written my thought about knowing your blessings this evening, and this article reminded me to be even more conscious about every little blessing that we have. For me, I was born and live in Bogor, the so-called "kota hujan" (the city of rain). Water is superfluous here, and not only abundant amount of water, but really good water, the water is super clean in Bogor (but we hate it so much when it's raining, right?) So, I take it for granted (AGAIN..) while a lot of people out there don't even have clean water to use. I feel terribly sorry :(

Now I am thankful for the rain that hasn't stopped since I wrote my blog this evening (yes, it's STILL raining now), but no black-out please ;p

Keep knowing your blessings!

KNOW your blessings

Hello Tuesday!

No driving course today so I just cook, do a little bit of cleaning, a bunch of reading and now another little bit of writing. It is good to finally be back home after staying overseas for years, but actually I am not that kind who can just stay at home. Man, it's the hardest thing to do. I just need to go out everyday. Life has been so different since I'm back to my home country. Can't really go out by yourself, right? (You know what I mean if you've been living overseas.) And I've been submitting tons of application letters but haven't heard any reply.. So yeah I'll just keep submitting tons and tons of application letters until I get the job. I can get another job actually but I want to try something new first without pulling any strings. No strings attached, please! ;)

Knowing your blessings is very important. Yes, knowing, to know your blessings, and not counting your blessings. We should know our blessings everyday (by being grumpy above I've been such a hypocrite :( .., but I still want to keep writing about knowing your blessings anyway, hehe). To count our blessings is simply impossible, there's too much blessings that we receive everyday (I have lost count of it). Our existence and the presence of our loved ones.. Breathing the air, hearing the raindrops falling on the ground and smelling the smell of rain (it's raining now).. Having a place to shelter from the rain (since it's raining ;p).. Having my mom in my life for 23 years.. Having relatives that really care for me.. Have had studying abroad.. Those are some of my blessings that I really grateful for, and there are so much mooooree that I can not mention one by one or even if I try to mention it in few pages may be I can not recall all of it. 

I always take everything and everyone for granted eventhough I have lost one of my dearest aunties. I was just saying I don't want to take anything or anyone for granted anymore, until my mom passed away. And even after that I tried to runaway from my bitter memory and I stopped realising my blessings. I didn't even try to pick the silver linings out of the dark clouds. It has gotten better day by day but I was just like 'yeah whatever' with my life. It doesn't mean that I haven't been taking care of my life, I'm still moving on with my life. It's just I can never be contented with anything. But yesterday one of my aunties came to visit me and we talked a lot about life, about the memories and I felt much better. So I decided to start knowing my blessings everyday and be happy.

Don't forget to know your blessings people! So we may be contented with everything we have in our lives. Be grateful, be thankful and be HAPPY! Gbu :)

i'm happy for you too :)

First of all I would like to introduce wo-de-shenghuo-journal.blogspot.com to ya'll.. (wait.. I know)

What a weird name to choose for your blog address.. Well, I decided to name it so because, first, the names I actually want are not available anymore and, second, I think it will suit the personality of my blog (you'll know after I post some more).

Okay, so here's the topic of the day. i'm happy for you too. I am sincerely feeling it for my friends for they are getting married! Awww! I feel an overwhelming dose of happiness for those who has crossed paths with me. You guys has made my life colorful in so many ways. And I am feeling happy too for every good thing that happen to you. I am so blessed and grateful for having you guys in my life.

a new chapter, a new beginning

Hi there, 

This is not my first post on blogger but this is my first post in my newly created blog. So shall I call it a come back? 

Creating a new blog and not continuing the old one doesn't mean that I want to runaway from my past and leaving it behind and to never look back forever, or to lock it up and throw away the key! Instead I want to keep it in a treasure chest and cherishing my good memories. My past and my memories are my teacher, the witness of my life journey and the lesson I can use to move forward. 

'Cause there were too many good memories to embrace~

So here I am with a new page, wanting to start afresh while feeling artsy!

P.S. u can also check my tumblr on melisahs.tumblr.com which I think pretty much reflecting my soul better than words and where I pour my heart out or just randomly picking out my fave pictures. "A picture is worth a thousand words" When I really don't know how to express myself, I am lost...
