About Failures

Inspired from one of my friends' status on facebook.

If you've never failed, you've never tried anything new.

Many of us, including me of course, have ever faced the failures as something depressing, something bitter, something smothering. But, if we see the pic above, we will see failures from different way. Something often forgotten is a wise word -- failure is a delayed success. The important thing is how we rebuild our self-confidence & come back to battlefield, maybe to face another failure before we get the victory.

Another inspiring facebook status came from my friend. This is a story about the so-called unlucky children, or they are lucky? It depends on how we see by our own glasses. :D

He is Big Zaman, a graduated college student from a prestigious university in Indonesia. He is just an ordinary boy like other boys. But when you read his story about his struggle to accomplish his education, you'll say to yourself that he is amazing. Have he suffered failures? Yes. Just read this & reflect on our own story.

graduation ceremony in Lawndale.

One more amazing story came from Uncle Sam's land. Dawn Loggins is a girl who was abandoned by her parents, grew up in a ramshackle home with no electricity & no running water. She worked as janitor in her high school & still could keep her status as a straight-A student, even she was accepted to be one of super prestigious university students, Harvard. You don't want to skip her story, right? Just read her story & you'll feel it enlightens you. She is amazingly amazing, isn't she?

Those are examples of positive thinking & the power of determination. Many inspiring stories about failures remain we can learn from. Let's be strong & never give up to reach our dreams. Failure is failure if we never learn from it.

Life is God's gift to us, including failures. We just haven't been aware of that. Maybe we need an hour, a day, or years to make us realize that God gave us failure to make us stronger, humble, or try anything new.

Let's Just Call It a Hobby

Maybe because this is something new, I think I have an excessive passion for writing & managing this blog. Actually this is not literally new for me. I often feel very passionate about something & then lose it. Sometimes I wanna have a persistent & consistent passion, or, let's just call it a hobby.

As example, these comic strips was made for completing my intermediate accountancy task. My lecturer asked me to make something, everything, related to accountancy, & I decided to make comic strips considered that I'd continue the comic strips since I like drawing & creating story. But, I haven't created any comic strips yet afterwards.

More about accountancy comic strips just click here.

Beside those accountancy comic strips, I've made several comic strips about TVXQ. Yeah, those were made when I was addicted to TVXQ. Some of them:

Even I made a fan-art, their portrait in one of their singles, STILL.

And when I was in first grade of my college, I was interested in making animation. I've learned how to make animation, read the Anime Studio's pdf tutorial, & made a short animation, all in just a month.

Afterwards, I haven't made more animations yet. Yes, this is what you call unstable, or in a good way, exploring myself, the condition when I do something just to wanna know how far I'm interested in. :3

Currently, I'm getting addicted to Johnny Depp & English. And those addiction are walking in the same path! I think they are fulfilling each other. I can watch Johnny Depp movies & learn English in the same time. I think my addiction to these two is healthier than my previous addiction (when I was crazy about K-Pop things). LOL, I hope so. :D

My current desktop :D

See? Those are some of my self-actualization. There are still many hobbies remain. Though I can't do it everyday, sometimes when I have much time or just get bored, I will do it. I'm grateful because I have many hobbies that make my life more colorful. And several of them are really useful to reach my dreams, e.g. learning English. Hitting two birds with a stone, right?

Hm, I am thinking about establishing cooking as a hobby. I wanna be a good mother too in the future. :))

Curious about what more I will create someday. :3

Life is Melodious

Since I have no post on this blog yet, let me re-post this thought on this single post. This is my writing when I was addicted to TVXQ, but the message on it is still relevant: life is melodious.

Original post is from my random tumblr. Watch out, that tumblr is very random. I like reblogging something funny, Johnny Depp stuffs, random thoughts, TVXQ (when I was addicted to), etc. So, beware. Mbuahahaha.

Life is Melodious

People say life is wonderful. Life is colorful & cheerful. Sometimes I have a thought that the real heaven is the life itself. Yes indeed, and I want to add those words with “Life is melodious.”

I have many moments that can be described with a song. When I went to my hometown several weeks ago, I listened to my playlist in my cellphone. Many songs reminded me to my past moments. I just recalled that moments come to my head again, while I was looking out to the window. I really enjoyed my trip because I had a soul therapy like that. And, many reasons that can make you falling in love with a song. Maybe its lyrics, maybe its melody. Maybe you have a related personal story based on its lyrics, or you just like it because it’s beautiful. And for me, in most cases, I like a song because its melody regardless its lyrics, although I like some songs because its lyrics too.

Like this afternoon, I checked my friend’s twitter timeline & I found an interesting youtube link. So I clicked it & went through the youtube to hear that song. It’s Winter Rose Music Box Version as I embed!

I really love this song as I love TVXQ. I often sang this song with my sister when I went home 2 weeks ago. It also made me imagine the snows drop & are piled up on my window, while I'm sitting on the sofa & warmed by a fireplace. It can be called imaginary for me, because I live in the place which never has snow drops here.

And of course, listening to this song again, with the music box version, made me really special this afternoon. I almost dropped my tears. I don’t care if I’ll be called dumb or everything but I really almost dropped my tears when I heard this song. It’s so beautiful. Even every single picture or word posted by my friends on tumblr & twitter become more meaningful. I become more sensitive, melancholy, & dramatic. It evoked my emotions.

Like when I saw these pics on my tumblr dashboard while I was hearing this song, these beautiful pics even looked more beautiful.

I’ve ever heard wise words that life is similar to how you see it with your glasses. It’ll become dark if you wear a dark glasses, & it’ll become brighter if you wear a clear glasses. It’ll become blue if you wear a blue glasses, yellow if you wear a yellow one, magenta if you wear a magenta. So does the music. Life is similar to how you hear it with your ears. Is it a beautiful, or a sad & depressing melody?

PS: I am not an expert in musics. I’m just an ordinary girl who enjoys musics. ^^

Recently, I really loved to hear Queen's Love of My Life. I think it's really beautiful, & I just like it. I don't know but I think my sense of music is not usual. I often find my favorite songs aren't popular among my friends.

But it's okay since I like it. :3

First Post :)

Ok,

Like the title, this is my first post on this blog. Actually I have another blog on tumblr, but I think I wanna make another one on blogger which is more organize-able.

I'm trying to improve my English. So, I will try to use English for all posts on this blog. *hopefully*

But maybe sometimes I will use bahasa Indonesia if I want to. Don't hesitate to tell me my mistakes because I'm still learning & I don't bite.

See ya. ♥
