The mind
As one gets older and eventually get to mature, by thoughts, intellect, attitude and actions, one learn to know and understand oneself. The things that bother me 10 or so years ago, do not weigh much anymore now. But there are several aspects of one's life that are not so easy to shake off.
Coming from a culture that considers (mostly) that talking about one's mental struggles is a taboo, it is hard to admit one's difficulties, seek and ask for help. I am not saying I am well versed in this topic, but one should try to reflect in oneself and accept that one needs professional help, before one goes deep into the dark pit. Help is available, do not hesitate to ask for it. And remember you are not alone.

The Voice Of Nature..
Having a moment to greet Nature again, after being trapped in the hustle and bustle of the city of Jakarta for so long, was something I really missed.
Ground camping Mawar,.in the slope of hill part of Mountain Ungaran. One of my fav place to meet up and enjoy the voice of nature.
The place quite peace, reachable ...and of course there are many natural settings that we can still greet and enjoy ..

Haters / thumbsdowners
When I first found our about this site 7 or 8 years ago, I was looking for a partner.
I didn't find a partner, but as a practice of mine on datingsites, I'd delete my profile after a few months, stay away a few months or a year, and start again.
The reason why I kept coming back to CS, was because I even thought I wasn't a member, I still enjoyed reading the inspirational blogs, forums and recipes, but couldn't comment on anything.
These days, the blog and forums are filled with haters/thumbsdowners, abusive name calling and yes, the scammers, because even they have found their way here.... all because the harmony, which was once alive in the blogs etc. seems to be gone.
True, it wasn't always chocolate and roses in the blogs and forums, but atleast discrepancies were discussed in a much more civilised manner than now. Most of the good writers from then have either died, been blocked from the site, or just have enough of the behaviour and left, or don't bother to write anymore, but still use the site.
Time to be civilised again, before CS either decides to become a paying site or close the blogs, forums etc., I assume we're all adults on this site, so here's a tip: In this life, not everyone's gonna like us or agree with what we have to say or write, so grow up, and get over it, as it's all a part of human nature. Stop hiding behind the internet to spread hatred / thumbsdowners.
Make CS a place where it's fun to come and be inspired by the writers again, not a place where you're getting put down, because others are dissatisfied in their own real miserable life!!!!!.....it doesn't mean you have to do the same here for others. JMPOV. They say karma is a bit$h, so be careful it doesn't come back to bite you in real life.
I'm gonna get quite a few "thumbsdown" for this blog, but you know what: I'm strong enough to handle such cowardice, as none of you are brave enough to write on a blog or forum "hey, it's me, xyz who gave a thumbsdown on your writing, I did it because of adcd..." so IDGAS.
I was brave enough to do it, the 1 time I gave a thumbsdown, as the remark to the blog in question, was rightly deserving of it. Unfortunately, the OP of the blog, deleted my comment, but left the reason for my comment on his blog.

Sage's advise, cheeky, cheeky, but all so very true
Don't let your worries get the best of you; remember, Moses started
out as a basket case.
Some people are kind, polite, and sweet-spirited until you try to sit in their pews.
Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisors.
It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one.
The good Lord didn't create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close.
When you get to your wit's end, you'll find God lives there.
People are funny; they want the front of the bus, the middle of the road, and
the back of the church.
Opportunity may knock once, but temptation bangs on your front door forever.
Quit griping about your church; if it was perfect, you couldn't belong.
If the church wants a better pastor, it only needs to pray for the one it has.
God Himself does not propose to judge a man until he is dead. So why should you?
Some minds are like concrete, thoroughly mixed up and permanently set.
Peace starts with a smile.
I don't know why some people change churches; what difference does
it make which one you stay home from?
A lot of church members who are singing "Standing on the Promises"
are just sitting on the premises.
We were called to be witnesses, not lawyers or judges.
Be ye fishers of men. You catch them - He'll clean them.
Coincidence is when God chooses to remain anonymous.
Don't put a question mark where God put a period.
Don't wait for 6 strong men to take you to church.
Forbidden fruits create many jams.
God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called.
God grades on the cross, not the curve.
God loves everyone, but probably prefers "fruits of the spirit" over "religious nuts!"
God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.
He who angers you, controls you!
If God is your Co-pilot - swap seats!
Prayer: Don't give God instructions -- just report for duty!
The task ahead of us is never as great as the Power behind us.
The Will of God never takes you to where the Grace of God will not protect you.
We don't change the message, the message changes us.
You can tell how big a person is by what it takes to discourage him.
The best mathematical equation I have ever seen:
1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given.

Forest Gump is going home, this is funny and smart
FORREST GUMP goes to HEAVEN
The day finally arrived when Forrest Gump dies and goes to Heaven.
He met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.
However, the gates are closed, and Forrest approaches the gatekeeper.
St. Peter said, "Well, Forrest, it is certainly good to see you. We have heard
a lot about you. I must tell you, though, that the place is filling up fast, and
we have been administering an entrance examination for everyone. The test
is short, but you have to pass it before you can get into Heaven."
Forrest responds, "It sure is good to be here, St. Peter, sir. But nobody ever
told me about any entrance exam. I sure hope that the test ain't too hard.
Life was a big enough test as it was."
St. Peter continued, "Yes, I know, Forrest, but the test is only three questions.
First: What two days of the week begin with the letter T?
Second: How many seconds are there in a year?
Third: What is God's first name?"
Forrest leaves to think the questions over. He returns the next day and sees
St. Peter, who waves him up, and says, "Now that you have had a chance to
think the questions over, tell me your answers."
Forrest replied, "Well, the first one -- which two days in the week begins with
the letter "T"? Shucks, that one is easy. That would be Today and Tomorrow."
The Saint's eyes opened wide and he exclaimed, "Forrest, that is not what I was
thinking, but you do have a point, and I guess I did not specify, so I will give you
credit for that answer.
How about the next one?" asked St. Peter. "How many seconds in a year?
Now that one is harder," replied Forrest, but I thunk and thunk about that,
and I guess the only answer can be twelve."
Astounded, St. Peter said, "Twelve? Twelve? Forrest, how in Heaven's name
could you come up with twelve seconds in a year?"
Forrest replied, "Shucks, there's got to be twelve: January 2nd, February 2nd,
March 2nd... "
"Hold it," interrupts St. Peter. "I see where you are going with this, and I see your
point, though that was not quite what I had in mind....but I will have to give you
credit for that one, too.
Let us go on with the third and final question. Can you tell me God's first name"?
"Sure," Forrest replied, "it's Andy."
"Andy?" exclaimed an exasperated and frustrated St Peter.
"Ok, I can understand how you came up with your answers to my first two
questions, but just how in the world did you come up with the name Andy
as the first name of God?"
"Shucks, that was the easiest one of all," Forrest replied. "I learnt it from the song,
"ANDY WALKS WITH ME, ANDY TALKS WITH ME, ANDY TELLS ME I AM HIS OWN."
St. Peter opened the Pearly Gates, and said: "Run Forrest, run."
Give us a sense of humor, Lord.
Give us the ability to understand,
And put humor in our life,
And -- pass it on to other folk.

Honeymoon..
To my Giant and I new year means new fiscal year.. new budget plan implementation.. new schedule adjustment.. and all those mean busy.. busy.. busy! 
You see, my Giant is a night bat and a late morning worm, while Kal is a morning bird and an evening koala. However, for two days we changed that a bit. Surprisingly enough he could become a morning bird and I was a night owl. Yes, several days ago we decided to have a two day honeymoon before our jobs take most of our time.
Honeymoon!
Hmm.. you know.. doing things together.. being silly crazy.. having baths, dressing up (when at home Kal wears mostly underwear, Tshirt and short only sometimes
), eating, watching movies, staring at each other, kissing, including .. etc etc.. virtually ofcourse.. video calling on Skype and WA.
I am a terrible striptease dancer.
I love my Giant very much and he loves me as much. I know to some that sounded ridiculous, but not to us. We enjoyed our romantic moments as in real life.
Thank you my HB for the unforgettable honeymoon.

When peaceful protests fall on deaf ears
only thing left to do is pick up a torch and burn down certain buildings and hotels.

The weather
-25 degrees Celsius last week and the snow just fell, without end, I felt. This week is much better with +2 degrees, the snow starting to melt, not so slippery on the roads and thanks goodness, sunny! Somewhere "lagom" warm would be nice!
How's "your" weather?

Never Say Never
Damnoen Saduak floating market. I went there for the first time back in 2003 with my then husband, now my ex. My kids were probably 5 and 4 back then. My mom and stepdad volunteered to look after them while my ex and I ventured out for a day on our own.
The floating market was nothing at all what you saw in the advertisement pictures. Such a big letdown and disappointment that I vowed NEVER to ever pay money to go there again….
Until yesterday…
The kids and I had been to Thailand countless of times and this is Art’s 4th trip. There’s only so much you can shop and eat while in Bangkok ( unless you shop at ‘Big C’ ) and I decided to do something different with Art and my kids. Damnoen Saduak floating market and Mae Klong railway market sounded like a good idea initially but I quickly realized my mistake
Hot, humid and very crowded. People jostled and pushed and I nearly punched ( yes I chose violent ) a Korean b*tch for trying to overtake me and in the process caused me to lose my balance and footing.
Everyone vying to get pictures/videos of the approaching train.
Damnoen Saduak. Go only if you had all your shopping done and had nothing else better to do
Have a great weekend ahead everyone!
It’d be a hectic one for me, that’s for sure
