Sometimes I wonder..

How could someone be so perfect

that makes other people jealous?

Happy 11 months my dearest
KEVIN OARTO! :D

Although we can't spend our 1st Christmas together
this year,

but I know that I'm blessed enough 
for having you in my life :)

What else should I complain about?

I'm SUPER BLESSED :')

I DO love you so muchh dear ^^

Let's spend our New Years Eve together
happily and unforgettably! (",)

Miss you dear :*

The minute you thinking of giving up,

think of the reason why you held on for so long.. :")

I will never give up!

Bless my Scientific Writing, oh Lord.. :") 

- " our 10th." -

Within these 2 days, I have been falling in love with a song, as how I've always been falling in love with Kevin more every single day we pass together :)

I hardly believe that it has been 10 months since that lovely day when we started our relationship.. I'm thankful for every moments, every laughter and tears that we've been through together :)

This is the song that he gave to me several days ago.. And soon I fall in love with this song.. ^^

A THOUSAND YEARS

Heart beats fast

Colors and promises

How to be brave

How can I love when I'm afraid to fall

Watching you stand alone

All of my doubt

suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still

beauty in all she is

I will be brave

I will not let anyone take away

what's standing in front of me

Every breath, every hour has come to this

One step closer

I have died everyday waiting for you

Darling don't be afraid

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more

All along I believed

I would find you

Time has brought your heart to me

I have loved you for a thousand years

I'll love you for a thousand more..

Yes, time has brought your heart to me..

Darling don't be afraid, I'll love you for a thousand more :)

Happy 10 dear!! :D

Love you, Kevin!

- "my TEACHING Practicum." -

I've finally  finished my teaching practicum (PPL) at SMA St. Theresia :D

There were really LOTS of tears and laughter during all the preparation and the teaching practicum itself.. My first teaching was on Wednesday, 19th of August 2011.. Oh God, I was super nervous at that time! I even got a stomachache right a day before my first teaching bcos I was too nervous and afraid. Guess what, I couldn't even laugh a bit at that time haha -.-"

I'm gonna share to you some simple highlights and reflections of every teaching that I've done.. Enjoy! :)

1st teaching (Wednesday, 19 August 2011)
Class: X-3
Skill: Reading (Narrative Text)
Well.. It was one of my worst preparation of teaching, I guess. I planned to teach by using some power point slides bcos actually the school has provided a projector in each of the class. I prepared the slides very well and designed them to be as interesting for the students as I could. But unfortunately an incident happened at the class. The projector didn't work. It couldn't be connected to my laptop. Wew.. I was panic and it wasted almost 15 minutes of my teaching time, which the total time was ONLY 45 minutes!! Grrr. At last the projector still didn't work so I had to explain the materials by writing them on the whiteboard in a rush of time! (can  you imagine how long did it take to write almost all the materials on the whiteboard?) Geezzz.. &*#$@!
Yeah, it was terrible. *deep sigh*

2nd teaching (Wednesday, 7 September 2011)
Class: XII IPA 2
Skill: Writing (Explanation Text)
Haha.. This is the most SILENT class I've ever taught! Can't you imagine teaching a skill of writing at 7 a.m. with SUPER PASSIVE students that refused to answer anything I asked?? It was really EXHAUSTING, you know. I got out of the class with a lost voice bcos I had to talk a lot n loudly but almost nobody answered my questions. It drove me crazyyyyyyy!! Erghh.

3rd teaching (Monday, 12 September 2011)
Class: XII IPS 1
Skill: Listening (Report Text)
A contrast from my 2nd class that I taught, this class was very messy and the students were talkactive and quite naughty. Maybe it was bcos I taught them at the listening laboratorium, not at their own class, so they might feel that the lesson was not too important.. They came late and slowly to the lab and when they all have gathered there, they kept making fun and telling jokes to each other. I faced some difficulties to control that class, really. But it's okay, they made the class became lively and quite fun haha.. I thought it's better to have a super active class rather than a super passive class, indeed.

4th teaching (Friday, 16 September 2011)
Class: X-4
Skill: Speaking (Narrative Text)
The teaching was not bad.. The students were generally okay. What made it hard was I taught them 12.00,  which was very hot and the students' were lazy and tired already haha.. But I was glad bcos there were some active students who were cooperative (I still remember exactly their names and faces) and they made everything much easier for me :)

5th teaching (Wednesday, 21 September 2011)
Class: XI IPS 3
Skill: Speaking (Report Text)
THIS IS MY BEST CLASS EVER! Haha.. They students were very very cooperative and nice! Though a few of them didn't pay much attention to my teaching and kept chitchatting at the back of the class, but the other rest of the class gave their full attention and participation to me :)
They were so active in answering what I asked to them and they seemed so enthusiastic! Some of them were even quickly raised their hands when I asked them to perform their tasks in front of the class.. My teaching also went very smoothly and I enjoyed it very much ^^
I really really really love XI IPS 3!! Thanks my dear students, for giving me the  best class I've ever taught.. Gonna always remember you all! :)

6th teaching (Wednesday, 12 October 2011)
Class: XII IPS 3
Skill: Writing (Discussion Text)

We took this pic at Mam Awied's room
when we were consulting the LP for our 6th teaching

Hmm.. I didn't really enjoy teaching this class bcos this class was similar to XII IPA 2 which I taught on my 2nd teaching.. A passive class. But this class was just a little bit better bcos the students were still involved in the brainstorming activity. The hardest part was when I assigned them to do the exercise, most of them didn't do it seriously. Some of them were talking to each other,  making some jokes, even a student fell asleep and another student was daydreaming. Perfect, right?! Hahaha.. :P
Maybe the topic of the material was quite hard so they were not too interested. Huff.

7th teaching (Wednesday, 19 October 2011)
Class: XI IPA 1
Skill: Reading (Exposition Text: Analytical and Hortatory)

Me and my last Lesson Plan for this class!

It was my last teaching and my observation day. My lecturer from Atma Jaya also came with us to the school to observed my and my friends' teaching at class. The observation score will be counted as my final exam score for the teaching practicum subject. It made me feel nervous again. But I really tried to give my best teaching. Luckily, my class was nice and cooperative enough. Some of them often answered my questions actively and they seemed quite enthusiastic. It was not as bad as what I imagined before.. :)

Thanks God I've finally done my long and tiring journey of teaching practicum. Yet it was so unforgettable. A week has just passed by, but I miss the students and English teachers at SMA St. Theresia already :')

Thanks for the strength I got from my Jesus Christ :)
And all the support and prayers from my family, my best friends, and my lovely Kevin :)
Without you all I might not be strong enough to do this exhausting teaching practicum.. A bunch of thanks to you guys! I love you! (",)

Last Wednesday me and my friends went back to SMA St. Theresia to say thanks to the teachers and gave them some certificates and gifts. We  also took some pictures there ^^

Here it is.. SMA St. Theresia ^^

With our beloved lecturer and English teachers

In front of the Goa Maria

At the canteen :)

Our little "aquarium" :P

Our  memorable bangku kayu

We had a little celebration at GI :)

So this is it.. Our dream that comes true! :')

Last pic taken there in front of the gate

Good bye SMA St. Theresia.. Thanks for every precious experiences and moments with  you.. Gonna miss you soon! :)

- "Mermaid vs Whales." -

A while back, at the entrance of a gym, there was a picture of a very thin and beautiful woman. The caption was "This summer, do you want to be a mermaid or a whale?"

The story goes, a woman (of clothing size unknown) answered the following way:

"Dear people, whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, seals, curious humans), they are sexually active and raise their children with great tenderness.
They entertain like crazy with dolphins and eat lots of prawns. They swim all day and travel to fantastic places like Patagonia, the Barents Sea or the coral reefs of Polynesia.
They sing incredibly well and sometimes even are on cds. They are impressive and dearly loved animals, which everyone defend and admires.

Mermaids do not exist.

But if they existed, they would line up to see a psychologist because of a problem of split personality: woman or fish?
They would have no sex life and could not bear children.
Yes, they would be lovely, but lonely and sad.
And, who wants a girl that smells like fish by his side?

Without a doubt, I'd rather be a whale.

At a time when the media tells us that only thin is beautiful, I prefer to eat ice cream with my kids, to have dinner with my husband, to eat and drink and have fun with my friends.

We women, we gain weight because we accumulate so much wisdom and knowledge that there isn't enough space in our heads, and it spreads all over our bodies.
We are not fat, we are greatly cultivated.
Every time I see my curves in the mirror, I tell myself: "How amazing am I ?! "

(The girl on the picture is French model Tara Lynn)
Last comment: I'm not putting down thin people, being a thin woman myself (BMI of 22 maybe?)
Just saying that being large doesn't equate to being unattractive.

Happy Birthday, dear!! :D

Welcome to the legal age..

Welcome to a maturity ^^

Be a better person

and

always keep being MY BEST!! (",)

Love you so muchhh dearr :)

Happy 8 lovely months honeyy!! ^^

Yes,

you are something special

in my heart,

in my life,

in my world.. :)

I will always love you, like I always do :*

- "God, why do I..?" -

I kept on asking God why do I have small monolid eyes,

until I saw a blind little girl..

Then I thanked God for my small eyes..

I kept on asking God why do I have a flat nose,

until I saw a man with a big tumor in his nose..

Then I thanked God for my flat nose..

I kept on asking God why do I mostly have to go to campus by public transportation,

until I saw a woman who had to walk for miles carrying her children with bare feet..

Then I thanked God for those public transportation..

I kept on asking God why do I have a short body,

until I saw a child with no arms and legs..

Then I thanked God for my short body..

I kept on asking God why can't I travel all around the world just like what my friends did,

until I saw a poor old man who had never traveled further than his own town in his life..

Then I thanked God for my condition..

I kept on asking God why do I have to work quite hard even before I graduate from university just to fulfill my own daily needs,

until I saw hundreds of jobless people applying for jobs everyday
and being rejected..

Then I thanked God for my job..

Through the people around me, God has taught me how to be grateful for all the way I am.. :')

Now I've learnt that jealousy won't change any of my own condition,

instead it will only make everything worse coz it will simply take the peace and happiness in my heart away..

Now I've learnt that there's no perfect life in this world,

everybody has their own problems, regrets and failures behind all their laughter..

Now I've learnt that by keeping grateful and counting my own blessings,

it will make my life even brighter and more delightful :)

because..

Jealousy is counting someone's else blessings
instead of your own.

- "my 5th teaching.." -

a super cute rabbit :)

See a cute picture of a rabbit above? ^^
I showed this picture to one of my class at St. Theresia high school in my 5th teaching practice a couple days ago.. I used this picture to brainstorm what ideas come to the students' mind when they hear or see a picture of rabbit..

At the very first some students shouted, "SATAY, miss!!" and the rest of the class laughed, including me haha.. I just answered, "Hey don't make it a portion of satay! It's too cute to be cooked.. hahaha.."

Then some other students said, "BUGS BUNNY".. That answer was logical so I wrote it on the whiteboard. Another student answered, "CARROT, miss!" That was also a good answer.

Until one of the students shouted loudly, "PLAYBOY, miss!! Playboy bunny!!", and soon his friend added, "HUGH HEFNER, miss!!" The whole class burst into laugh hahaha :))

So.. Can you imagine how naughty my students were? wkwk :P
But I love teaching them.. They have given me an unforgettable teaching experience :)
I love XI IPS 3!! :*

Being with you is like a fairy tale comes true :)

- "new EMAIL address." -

Guys,
I'm changing my email address from monyetminumbir@yahoo.com into astrid.marcella@yahoo.com since now and then..
Actually I have been using my stupid-yet-unique address of email "monyetminumbir" for the past 7 years and it's been one of my 1st emails that I have haha.. I DO love that email address though some people don't and think that I'm a bit crazy :P
Well.. At least it's a memorable address of an email, right? ^^

I made my first NORMAL email address, "astrid.marcella", at the first time I entered the university. At that time one of my lecturers asked my email to send some assignments, I was ashamed to tell her that my email was "monyetminumbir", so I created a new normal email address then haha :P
I planned to use my old email to operate some of the social networks such as FB, twitter, blog, skype, etc. and use my new email for sending and receiving any kinds of assignments or emails related to the university or any other formal institutional works. But unfortunately, I came back again using my old one coz actually I'm a kinda person that doesn't like using 2 emails at the same time. At the end, I will only activate one of them which I use the most.. Haha..

Well.. I think it's time for me to use a better and more "professional" email address than the "monyetminumbir" one.. I'm doing my Scientific Writing this semester and my advisor prefers to send everything about my SW through my second "normal" email.. So I have no other choice, as what I've told before, I would rather use one active email only. So I think it's better for me to start moving to my second email, changing my social networks emails into "astrid.marcella@yahoo.com" and leaving my old unique one :')

Hihi I'm a bit sad knowing that I'm not gonna use my unique email address anymore coz that email has given me a lot of memories for the past 7 years.. I've sent and received so many assignments, notes, reflections, stories, reminders, letters from my relatives and friends, and even spams and junks ^^
And it's been like an "identity" for me every time anybody asks me about what my email address is :)

But yeah I know I can't use that email forever though. Sooner or later I have to change my email with a more proper address regarding to my professionalism and increasing age..

So guys, from now on, please kindly change my email address into
astrid.marcella@yahoo.com :)

I'll activate it and this email is ready to do its job for me! :D

Good bye my memorable "monyetminumbir@yahoo.com".. Thanks for helping me in the past 7 years :)

Wanna go back to my childhood years..

When there was just me,

a bottle of milk

and my favorite doll in my arms for the whole days.

No homework.

No exams.

No responsibilities!

HAHA :P

Hey happy 7 sweet months dear :)

Time flies so fast!

Love you even more each day ^^

Bigggg hugggssss for my dearest :*

HAPPY SIX LOVELY MONTHS

 From the 1st time we started this lovely relationship,

you've always been my SWEETEST DEAR ever! ^^

I'm gonna loving you every single day 'till the day I close my eyes forever.. (",)

- "My 21 on 21st." -


21st of July 2011 has been one of the most unforgettable special days for me (",)
I had my 21st birthday surrounded by the people whom I love so much for the whole day and they really made my day great and precious :D

In the morning I wake up with no special feeling.. I thought that it would be just like an ordinary day.. Actually that morning I wasn't in a good mood to celebrate my bday coz I've just had a fight with my mom the night before.. So without having any spirit I woke up and found so many bday greetings and wishes sent by my friends and relatives to my BB.. Then I had my breakfast alone downstairs and still.. Nothing special that could boost my mood up and be more cheerful.. I got to my room and browsed some websites just by myself..

Until suddenly my very best friend and her boy appeared in front of my house bringing a bday cake and a present for me!! Wew I was so surprised to see them waiting in front of my gate, so I changed my cloth and rushed quickly downstairs to see them ^^
Then we took some pics together in my living room, just like what we usually do from year to year :)

*me and the bday cake from her*

*my BFF's boy, me, and my very best friend*

Their surprising presence has boosted up my mood and made me feel more cheerful at that time..

Hey really thanks for the special surprise to both of you, Ria and Hartono :)

Thanks for willingly being stucked in a bad traffic jam on your way to my house.. You guys had successfully cheered me up!! :D

In the afternoon my lovely boyfriend, Kevin, picked me up to his home.. Surprisingly his mom gave me a bday present right when I've just reached his home.. I was so surprised coz I had never expected it :')

Then the surprised hasn't been over yet, not long after that my boy asked me to come downstairs and he closed my eyes with his hand.. And when I opened my eyes, his sister was standing in front of me and holding a bday cake with candles on the top of it ^^

*slicing the cake*

A big bite of cake for my Honey! ^^

*L.O.V.E*

*me and his sister :)*

I was so happy at that time and I was speechless for all these sweet things that my boy and his family has given to me :")

A bunch of thanks for the sweet surprises dear Kevin, Angel, and Kevin's mom! (",)

In the evening, Kevin joined the bday dinner with my family :)

Before going to the restaurant, we ate fried noodle and took a family picture together..

=)

Hey.. This is my first time in my whole life that I can spend my birthday with the presence of a BOYFRIEND :')

From year to year I always spent my bday with my bestiest and family, but this year God has made it more complete by the presence of Kevin (",)

Thanks God for finally letting me had a complete special bday ^^

My joy and gladness hasn't been over yet.. On Saturday, 23rd of July 2011, I had a simple but cheerful bday lunch with my bestiest at Sushi Grill, Meruya :)

Sulis and Juju gave me another bday cake and present there ^^

*they gave me another present :D*

*and another bday cake..*

*with love :)*

*you guys are irreplaceable bestiest! (",)*

Thank you for coming and accompanying me to start my 21st year in my life, guys! =)

Finally.. A birthday surrounded by my complete lovely ones! (",)

A kind of bday that I've always been praying and longing for through so many years.. :')

Each of your presence really completes all the pieces of puzzle of my life.. Without any each of you, my puzzle would be incomplete again.. So please stay in my life n my heart forever, going through years together coz I do really love you all so much =)

Thank You, Jesus, for giving each of them in my life..

I'd be forever grateful.. :D

- "In my 20th.." -

It's been July 26..
I planned to write a reflection on my birthday eve, but unfortunately I wasn't able to write it at that time for several reasons.. So today I decided to write a little reflection of a year that I had just passed behind through this posting.. :)

I just want to lift up all my gratitude to Jesus Christ, my Lord, for He has given me a beautiful life for these past 20 years in my life.. :')
Looking back to a year ago, I began my 20th with a prayer and so many wishes in my heart.. There were lots of things happened in the past 1 year, not only the good things but also some bad things.. But I never regret everything coz I know that even every single experience teaches me to be who I am now ^^

In my 20th..
I enthusiastically learnt how to drive..
Though I failed and still unable to drive now, but it's been a great experience for me sitting in the driver's seat :P

In my 20th..
I often spent my leisure time cooking some meals and trying some new recipes from the internet or magazines..
Though sometimes my cooking wasn't too delicious, but I still do love cooking! (",)

In my 20th..
I fell in love with a boy and started a relationship with him..
Though I chose a wrong relationship and it ended painfully, but it made me stronger and wiser now :)

In my 20th..
I became a singer in Worship Night 2011 "Shout to the Lord!"..
Though I had to attend so many rehearsals and they were highly tiring, but I was so grateful coz He gave me a chance to serve Him in that kind of big event for the last time.. :')

In my 20th...
My best friend, Ria Wulandari, had her 20th bday..
I gave her a special scrapbox which I made so carefully and full-heartedly ^^

In my 20th..
I finally found my true love..
Finally God answers my and my best friend's prayers that He sent me a man who truly loves me and always takes care of me with all of his heart :')

Thanks for everything that I've been through in my 20th, God..
YOUR blessings for me are indescribably countless.. They are just too many and overwhelming :')
No other words that I can say except "THANK YOU" for all Your guidance, blessings, and love that You've given to me through the lovely people around me in every single day (",)

Just.. THANK YOU so much, Jesus :')

- "Thank GOD." -

Hey I really thank GOD coz I've passed the 6th semester in my study, one of the hardest and most challenging semesters! :)

Though my GPA really drops down, but I've tried to give my best and I wanna keep being thankful to God for HIS guidance through this tough semester.. At least I was succeeded in passing 2 deathly classes of Pak Marcell, one of the most famous "killing" senior lecturers, who was very demanding towards his students. Besides, I've also passed Yohe's class of drama, one of the most frightening classes ever with an A score in hand :)
Thanks, Jesus. I know that I can't do it without You giving me the strength and ability.. ^^

Now I'm entering a new semester which I wish would be my last semester in this university.. Excited? Yaph. But with a bit of fright and worry whether I could handle doing my Scientific Writing (SW) along with the Teaching Practicum at Secondary High School (PPL) together and finish them within approximately less than 6 months or not.. I know that it wouldn't be easy, but I believe if I start it with God, He will guide and bless me until I can finish it on time :)

Dear God,
one thing that I've always been longing for is making the results of my study to glorify Your name and bringing happiness to my parents :')
I know that You'll always hold my hands till the end to help me reaching that dream :')

Heyy..

Happy 5 sweet months dear!!

Thanks for always making my days beautiful and wonderful ^^

Never knew how would my life be without you by my side :')

Love you honey :*

- "THANKS GOD I've found YOU." -

I would give up everything

before I'd separate myself from

After so much suffering

I've finally found unvarnished truth

I was all by myself for the longest time

So cold inside

And the hurt from the heart it would not subside

I felt like dying until you saved my life

Thanks God I've found you

I was lost without you

My every wish and every dream

somehow became reality

When you brought the sunlight

completed my life

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude

coz baby I'm so thankful I've found you

I would give you everything

There's nothing in this world I wouldn't do

To ensure your happiness

I'll cherish every part of you

Coz without you beside me I can't survive

don't wanna try

If you're keeping me warm each and every night

I'll be alright

Coz I need you in my life

See I was so desolate

Before you came to me

Looking back

I guess we were destined to shine

after the rain to appreciate

the gift of what we have

And I'd go through it all over again

To be able to feel this way

I never forget to keep thanking God

for He has lead me to find you.. :')

One last month for being "ILLEGAL"! :P

- "a HECTIC week." -

Pfiuhh.. This week has been one of the most hectic weeks in this semester.. I've got 4 final papers to be finished and 1 deadly sitting exam of Language Testing within approximately 2 weeks! -.-"

1. Seminar -> at least 20 pages

2. Language Testing -> at least 40 pages

3. Drama -> at least 4000 words (around 8-10 pages)

Thanks God I've finished the Seminar and Language Testing papers and I've submitted them yesterday though I had to have a sleepless night and slept only for 2 hours yesterday hehe :P

Now only 2 papers left, the individual ones which should be submitted next week.. I'm gonna give my best efforts!! Really wish that I could pass all the subjects I take with good grades :) Amiinnnn ^^ 

Pray for me.. ;)

S.E.M.A.N.G.A.T Astrid Marcella!! (",)

So I say a little prayer

and

hope my dreams will take me there.. (",)

dia sangat ingin hidup bersamamu
dan menghabiskan hari-harinya hanya bersamamu
sebab kamu menjadi bagian terpenting dalam hidupnya.

Jika seorang pria benar-benar mencintaimu,
dia akan mencium keningmu dengan penuh kasih sayang
dan bukan dengan nafsu.

Jika seorang pria benar-benar mencintaimu,
dia akan menyimpan segala sesuatu tentangmu di HP nya
dan akan tertawa bodoh sendiri ketika melihatnya.

Jika seorang pria benar-benar mencintaimu,
dia akan dengan sabar mendengar curhatmu saat kau sedang sedih
sebab dia tak ingin membuatmu merasa sendiri.

Have I ever been a priority in your life? :')

I should not put too much expectations..

People are right, "Things do really change."

Nothing stays forever coz even the sweetest chocolate expires..

Thank You, God, for fulfilling my every single need.. (",)

Thanks God for our 4! :)

Sometimes I think men should experience the pain of women's period time once in their lifetime so they would appreciate women better.. :P

- "God Whispers." -

Well I'm a bit shock when I read today's "GodWhispers" on my email.. It was only less than 24 hours ago when I felt disappointed and sad knowing that maybe I have no chance to continue my study overseas, mostly because of my family's financial problem.. And when I read my email just now, I received "GodWhispers" saying these encouraging words:

Dear Astrid,
I've made a giant storehouse overflowing with every conceivable blessing you need, including all the financial resources you would ever need for all the dreams I have placed in your heart. The key of My storehouse is in your pocket. Gave it to you a long time ago. So when will you drop by and get some stuff?

Waiting for you,
God.
P.S. I hope really soon, Astrid.

Hey, can you call it as a "coincidence"?
No, I don't believe that I read it coincidentally.
The content of this email really answers the most recent problem appears in my head in these last few days.. And I believe that God really wants to say these to me, as the answer of my prayer :')
I call this "FAITH."

Thanks for the answer, God..
Please show me the way to Your storehouse then ^^
Let me walk by FAITH and not by sight! (",)
