Two days ago after LCC, I’ve earned the worst cry!! I dunno why it happened, but it's the worst cry that I ever had!!

I got a matter because of my existence as a new member of AIESEC LC Bandung. What that you do if someone who don't you know call you by phone and say that 'You must leave all of your activities except your study!". Ya, my father's best friend who work in UPI as lecture asked me abaout AIESEC and said that to me two days ago by phone. (=_=a) (pengen banget bilang WHO ARE YOU????? I DIDN'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE BEFORE!!!!) >.< >.< >.< >.<

Ahh, first, I thought that maybe he didn't know who is AIESEC, but after I came to my home I felt that his words didn't go from yg mind. I'm very felt my mind is bad, I hurt. I wanna cried, screamed and anger to my father, but he is my father and I must found the truly matter of this!! :""""""(

Finally, I cried in front of them (mom and dad) for asked the matter. Two hours I sat down and debated with them, I cried until I sobbed. And then I can descriebe what I seriously joined AIESEC and final conclusions are:
1. AIESEC is the way for me to maximize my potentials.
2. AIESEC is my dream since one year ago.
3. AIESEC can help me in my future, because I think that my passion was born there.
4. If I can't achieve in my study (like my friends who brilliant in Physics) but I've realized that I can achieve in AIESEC.
5. Because it's my dreams!!! and AIESEC have the same way with me. yap!! my visions are : to maximize my potentials, to empower other and contribute back to my society.


Ahhhh, Maybe it's a challenge ? Maybe it's kinda like sincerity test of me as an AIESECer ? I dunno, but I believe that AIESEC can realize my visions!


And the last mama, bapa's words after debated are...

mama ----> "teteh, mama sama bapa cuman khawatir sama teteh.. mama sama bapa sayang sama teteh dan ga mau sampe ngeliat teteh sakit apalagi nanti ditinggal jauh, mau sama siapa disana?? keluarganya baik apa engga?? makan sama apa?? 20 tahun, mama gak pernah ditinggal selama itu sama teteh, kita itu sayaaaaaaang sama teteh.

Bapa ----> "ya, maapin temen bapa, mungkin beliau enggak tau apa itu AIESEC, yaaa sama aja kaya bapa sama mama waktu belum tau apa itu AIESEC. Maaf ya, bapa cuman nanya sama beliau tentang aiesec, tapi malah jadi gini. Tapi dari cara pengambilan keputusan yang teteh pake, akhirnya bapa tau kalo ternyata sekarang anak bapa udah dewasa. Lanjutkan mimpi-mimpi itu untuk masa depan kamu, pemimpin itu gak boleh berkecil hati. Harus kuat! Jangan terus menerus mengalah demi orang lain, jangan mau di stir orang lain, jangan terlalu baik sama orang lain. Jika apa yang kamu lakukan ini positif, ajak orang lain untuk menjadi AIESECer juga, bapa sayang teteh.. "

Tons thanks and love for you ~ the greatest treasure in my life, something who sacred for me. F-A-M-I-L-Y <3 <3 <3


intermezzo ~ I kissed their cheeks before I go to campuse this morning :* :')

You can change your life - if you wanna

You can change your clothes - if you wanna

If you change your mind

Well, that's the way it goes

But I'm gonna keep your jeans

And your old black hat - cause I wanna

They look good on me

You're never gonna get them back

At least not today, not today, not today

'cause

[Chorus]

If it's over, let it go and

Come tomorrow it will seem

So yesterday, so yesterday

I'm just a bird that's already flown away

Laugh it off let it go and

When you wake up it will seem

So yesterday, so yesterday

Haven't you heard that I'm gonna be okay

You can say you're bored - if you wanna

You can act real tough - if you wanna

You can say you're torn

But I've heard enough

Thank you... you made my mind up for me

When you started to ignore me

Do you see a single tear

It isn't gonna happen here

At least not today, not today, not today

'cause

[Chorus]

If you're over me, I'm already over you

If it's all been done, what is left to do

How can you hang up if the line is dead

If you wanna walk, I'm a step ahead

If you're moving on, I'm already gone

If the light is off then it isn't on

At least not today, not today, not today

Thanks GOD. Finally, I am an AIESECer !

*may I use in Bahasa?? because I love Bahasa. Hahaha :))

Mungkin terlalu lebay buat diceritain, tapi kelebayan ini sebanding dengan pangkat 2 usaha saya buat apply AIESEC LC Bandung dari awal sampe akhir!! karena katanya dari 2 gelombang kemarin, total yang nge-apply itu kurang lebih 1900 mahasiswa dari seluruh mahasiswa yang ada di Bandung dan hanya 197 aja yang lolos.

Buat teman-teman yang belum tau apa itu AIESEC, saya jelasin sedikit tentang Organisasi ini. Untuk para member-nya AIESEC identik dengan Exchange Student. Yapp!! itu sama sekali gak salah. Karena para anggota AIESEC (katanya) diwajibkan minimal satu kali pergi ke luar negeri untuk exchange.

Apa teman-teman tertarik mengetahui dunia lebih jauh dengan Cultural Internship ? Apa teman-teman pengan dapetin networking yang berasal lebih dari 100 negara ? Apa teman-teman tertarik dapet kesempatan exchange ke luar negeri ? Itu dia yang sebenarnya ditawarkan oleh AIESEC. Jadi setiap tahunnya AIESEC menawarkan kesempatan untuk kita semua buat hidup dan kerja di negara-negara dunia. Dari sini kita juga bisa mengasah skill Leadership Karena pastinya kita akan hidup dan kerja bareng sama warga dunia di negara tujuan. Kalo teman-teman pingin tahu lebih mengenai AIESEC bisa klik disini

...The Story of Me....................

Awal mula saya kenal AIESEC itu 9 Bulan yg lalu, dari seorang alumni AIESEC Indonesia yang namanya tercantum di majalah Gemari. Saat itu saya mulai searching dari mulai apa itu AIESEC?, ada gak sih di Bandung? dan gimana cara apply nya. Setelah tau kalo AIESEC LC Bandung open recruitment buat semua perguruan tinggi yang ada di Bandung, dari situlah saya mulai fokus buat take an English Course di EF (tanpa mikirin biaya kursus karena saking semangatnya, =_=)a padahal kalo course di Balai Bahasa UPI bisa buat tiga level nohh!! ) dan seperti yang biasa saya lakuin, "Write What Do You Want To Do and Do What You Have Written!!".

.......... ^^v

Seleksi AIESEC ada 3 tahapan ;

1. Form Selection => formulir, CV dan motivation letter

2. Forum Group Discussion => disini kita dibagi tim dan ditantang untuk menyelesaikan issue-issue global, selain itu juga kita diuji dengan seabreg pertanyaan-pertanyaan tentang pengetahuan umum secara global.

3. Interview => kita ditanya seputar strength and weakness kita, gimana caranya kita survive dengan culture yg berbeda jika kita pergi exchange nanti.

Saya apply di first round, pertama sih degdegan dan sempet hopeless karena liat orang-orang yang apply didominasi dari perguruan tinggi yg high class di Bandung. Dan bener aja, saya gagal di FGD selection :""""""""""( . Saya sedih, kecewa sama diri sendiri, soalnya yang ada dipikiran saya itu cuman AIESEC, AIESEC dan AIESEC. Tapi untungnya orang-orang dekat saya selalu mendukung dan memberikan semangat. :D Thanks all *hugs :D . 

Pas saya tahu kalo AIESEC buka second round recruitment, akhirnya saya putuskan untuk re-apply di second roundnya, dan memulai dari awal. Jujur, sulit banget masuk situ! lebih sulit dari pas masuk UPI =_=a.

Setelah melewati rangkaian penyeleksian, akhirnya saya lolos seleksi dan sekarang I am.................. an AIESECer :D

Pokonya, selama saya bergabung disana, saya akan jadikan AIESEC sebagai tempat yang bisa membantu merealisasikan mimpi saya dan saya akan berusaha semaksimal mungkin !! sesuai dengan visi saya yaitu to maximize my potentials, to empower other and contribute back to my society !!

so, I can save you Perpustakaan Anak Maleber !!! :')

Dear Merciful GOD, Thanks. Happy Eid. Happii Danjikiake No Matsuri. :' )

...This journey is very hard~

it WAS me



Perhaps I can say that exactly one year ago was the hardest period I ever got. How not?! exactly one year ago I got a problem that made me really desperate. Just one problem but that's made me hard to breathe, EVERY NIGHT ! Until finally, I gave up, yes! I gave up, GOD.

But after that, I felt that YOU called me. I dunno, but that's how I felt. SWEAR :'
Although the journey towards YOUR path is very hard. This options becomes a misunderstanding with my friends. Very hard, it's really very hard.
But I was sure. YOU will give the best path for me and I can only ask, let the pain which I felt could abort my sins in the past. I walked and walked...





I fell, I shunned my friends because my change, I got up, I explained, I approached, I fell again and continue like that for approximately one year.
I didn't ask for anything. I just want to turn into a polite girl and become someone who has many achievements back as before, GOD!

Ya ! as said by someone who I love "I want to study hard for my future. Now I'm just as your best friend. No more. So, keep yourself well and be the best for your parents". *Waaaa these words very painful!!
But. I thought what he said was true. From that moment, I started let everything go, I just want to do positive things until now. I want to be a good girl, GOD! :"""""(







....My prayer began to be answered~ ^^.

I began to love reading, until GOD brought me to a place that is now one part of my life. Maleber Children's Library. *and my goals had started from here.





http://www.facebook.com/pages/Perpustakaan-Anak-Maleber/199195426810623?sk=wall

From started reading inspirational stories, unconsciously I have spent dozens of motivational books. Schedule my life was controlled, because I always hold on to my visions. Ya ! to realize my dreams by to maximize my potentials, to empower others and to contribute back to my society.






Hufth..
Until now I still miss him and his family every day. I dunno what kind of answer he would give. I can't see him or them. I never want bad things happen to us again. I can only pray for him and his family in every time I face YOU, GOD. Moreover, I've found the way that I want and I became not want to release the guidance that YOU gave for me. :')

Once again, I just remember what he said, "I want to study hard for my future. Now I'm just as your best friend. No more. So, keep yourself well and be the best for your parents".





GOD, you're the all-knowing good and bad. If the road is good for me, then let me in situation like this; where I will continue to seek achievements, be the best for my parents and the peling important is being the best in YOUR eyes. Amen :)

Thanks for the tiring journey, thanks for the most valuable experience, thanks keep guiding me and thanks for brought me with great people and they are who have a good at gratitude. THANKS GOD. Happy Eid. Happii Danjikiake no matsuri. :')


So sorry for such a long prayer, May GOD always bestow us with blessings...

It's Hard Decision

Association Internationale des Etudiants en Sciences Economiques et Commerciales* (AIESEC), the world's largest student organization, is the international platform for youth to discover and develop their potential so as to have a positive impact on society. AIESEC LC Bandung is 1 of 6 AIESEC Local Committees in Indonesia. It's member are students from UNPAD, ITB and UNPAR. Every day, we provide life changing experience for youth in Bandung City. In this year, we will open stands in over 12 universities around Bandung, like ITB, Unisba, STBA, Maranatha, Unpar, UPI, NHI, Unpas, UNPAD (jtnangor, DU, dago pojok), Itenas, Widyatama, ITHB, Polban and Telkom. http://www.aiesecbandung.org/

...I've been waiting the recruitment of AIESEC since last February in 2011 and AIESEC form has been on my hand since two weeks ago. But this day, I'm still not filling this form. I have some problems that always made me confused each I'll get started to fill this form. ya! there are some things to think deeper before I ask the signature of my father.

Problems : 

1. I have a class schedule that is not right yet in this semester. And I still must divide my time with other activities. *if I'm accepted

2. I have a new sister and she is baby. There is a feeling to be responsible more for now!!!

3. And the last, Last year there were 800 participants who applied and maybe in this year will more than before. I THINK IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR ME. But this is one of my desires since I knew AIESEC in last February.

If asked, Why do you want to join AIESEC and AIESEC exchange program?

"I wanna join with AIESEC because I think, I'll get more experiences in there, so that I could contribute more in the society (especially in my area). Like my visions, to maximize my potentials, to empower other and to contibute back to my society. And I think with I join AIESEC, my potentials will pursed and my leadership skill will increase." 

I think, to contribute we must knowledgeable. If we look at the procedures for a leader, we'll ask a question "What kind of knowledge that will we give, if we are not knowledgeable?". Read many positive books may very well, but I need more activities and references in a non-profit organization. discussions with different people from different circles. Moreover with a country that has a different cultural. And maybe by making many links and friends everywhere, I'll get a chance to realize my dreams one by one. Amen. 

What should I do ? My spirit slightly decreased by looking at my current condition. Love and worries a family had tied my wings long time ago. And my facebook status that I created on 02 August at 21:22 via Mobile "Ma, Pa.. terimakasih telah melihat tanpa mengawasi, mengingatkan tanpa harus bersuara, membuatkan kandang tapi juga tetap membiarkan terbang bebas. I do love you. More than you ever know. And I know, I'm not a good sister. But I try to do my best. :')" actually it's just the biggest hope for me in one day. Amen.

Hmmm, It's hard decision... I just have to prove my parents that I've grown up.

Japan : The Beautiful Country. *which always gives me more power

...Japan is a country that I want to visit since I was child.
The Spring
The Autumn
The Cherry Blossom
The rhytm of wind
The strong culture
The Universities
The style
and L'Arc~en~Ciel
Ahhh Japan is so Beautiful....
(However, it will not beat the natural wealth of Indonesia. If we cultivate and maintain it properly)

I dunno, but among the other countries, I'm most interested in the beauty of this country. For a long time I dreamed to be able to set foot in this country. And Alhamdulillah, HE gave me the way as slowly to know all the ins and outs of this country from great people who I meet. *before flight? Aaaaaamin Hha :D. Start from learned Japanese language ( Nihongo Kurabu ), talked about their culture, and forced me to continually learn the Japanese language *by itself.

Can you see this ? Ya, maybe it's bizarre and unimportant to share this. But, I'm very happy and I got more passion whenever I saw this picture. I deliberately stuck it on my wardrobe like this because so that I always see it. Every time after I do shalat, I always look straight at the picture, then closed my eyes and prayed. Whatever the prayers.

Ahh. Tthis is only my BIG dream; and this is the one that always made me cried and filled me more strength to worked hard. ye!! Work hard for HIM.

National Children Day in Maleber Children's Library : opened my eyes and my heart, widely

...It's a long road When you face the world alone

No one reaches out a hand for you to hold

You can find love If you search within yourself

And the emptiness you felt will disappear

And then a hero comes along with the strength to carry on

And you cast you fears aside and you know you can survive

So when you feel like hope is gone, look inside you and be strong

And you'll finally see the truth, that a hero lies in you...

HERO - Mariah Carey

As the quote from an inspiring story I've read; "Ten years from now you'll be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Let's explore, Dream and Discover!!!" (these words truly made me dumbfounded).

On last Saturday, 23rd July 2011; Indonesia celebrated the National Children Day. And we as the youth of the nation is not only abode in this celebration. In National Children Day, we provided a carton and some papers. And then, we let all of children to drew and wrote their dreams on there. Ya!! let their dreams burst on the every texts and pictures they made. 

I was really amazed with their answers. Let's check it out! 

"Dear Allah, my name is Amelia. I have been a good girl because I will make my family happy and proud of me. I want to get 9 Junior High School and I want to be a doctor. I love my family."

"Dear Allah, my name is Toni. I have been a good boy because I always make my family happy. I want a computer."

"Dear God, my name is Sonya. I have been a good girl because I always help the people. I want to meet SMASH (boyband from Indonesia). I love them ( Bisma, Dicky, Rafael, Rangga, Reza, Morgan, Ilham)."

"Dear Allah, my name is Ranti. I have been a good girl because I always shalat. I want to be a dancer. I love SMASH." 

"Dear Allah, my name is Peri. I have been a good boy because I love my family. I want to be a doctor."

"Dear God, my name is Yopie. I have been a good boy because I love my family. I want to be a MILLIONAIRE "amin"."

"Dear God, my name is Siti Hafsah. I have been a good girl because I am a happier and I always study. I want to be a doctor."

Oh ya, moreover, there are many snacks in there. We ate chips, chocolate cookies and many gummy candies. It's looked so fun for us. Hhi :)) 

Hmmh...

I felt the rhythm, the nuance, the ambience of the National Children Day and the love from children in my surroundings. Moreover, those things made me to reminisce for what I have done in this 20 years and 39 days, along with the time I were seeing and experiencing them. I saw my past, my present, and my future emerged. At that time, I have seen and felt my life and my future evidently. Yeaa!! dreams pass into the reality of action. From the action stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest from of living. I walk to the new spirit (like they are who always enthusiastic) and whisper tenderly "I know, I am not a good sister. But I try to do my best. ya!! I WILL LIVE MY LIFE". 

Ahh, it's just a single expression of human.

Thanks for Indonesia Education Promoting Foundation (IEPF) インドネシア教育振興会   http://www.baliwind.com/ , Japan's Postal Savings for International Voluntary Aid, Dr. Fadilah Hasim, Yasunobu Kuboki, all staff and student who contributed in the manufacture of this library. 

Thanks for the readers who allocate their time to take for a glance, to look how 'the power of positive books', a library which have been  turn on the-light-of-life-and-joy for children in the 'alley area' and a closer look to my ordinary life. It's such an honor for me, I kindly appreciate it. :)

And I always save the last for the best thing. God. My real oracle in this life who has connected me with great people.

Thank you very much, どうもありがとうございました
