Life Begin at 40

And they say "Life begin at 40", right?

Happy birthday to me!

Hello, September. Hello, Oriflame.

Mmmm ga terasa yaa udah September ajaaa.. Bulan pertama dari bulan ber-ber-ber yang menuju ke penghujung tahun. Tahun ini rasanya cepat banget berlalu. Banyak banget yg terjadi selama 9 bulan ini yang ga kepikiran akan terjadi tahun ini. Mulai dari kekasih hati pujaan jiwa prince charmingkuhh yg finally dateng ke Indonesia setelah 1 tahun 2 bulan ngejalanin long distance relationship, trus proses penyesuaian yg ga gampang buat kita berdua, trus juga urusan2 ama pihak imigrasi untuk perpanjangan Visa-nya yg untuk sementara masih pake Visa Social Budaya, sampe urusan kerjaanku yg sempat keteteran sejak beberapa waktu belakangan ini.. :( Sebenarnya emang sayang sihhh menelantarkan bisnis yg bagus banget kayak Oriflame apalagi waktu itu levelku udah lumayan banget. Gimana Oriflame ga bagus coba... Udah modalnya kecil, cuma 49.900, produknya bagus dan kepake tiap harinya, bisa dikerjain secara online and offline, banyak hadiah gratisnya dan bonusnya pun sangat menjanjikan kalo bener2 dikerjain secara serius. It's a simple job and everybody can do it. Akunya aja sih yg banyak alesan ini itu, ga fokus en ga bisa bagi waktu dengan baik...hehe... ;) Enaknya lagi, bisnis Oriflame ini bisa saya kerjakan dari rumah tanpa perlu berurusan dengan bangun subuh untuk ke kantor dan bermacet2 ria pagi dan sore. Ngerjainnya juga flexible banget, bisa sambil santai dirumah, using laptop, BBM, Whatsapp, Line dll. Semuanya juga serba online, daftar online, promo online, order online, training juga online. And that's a big point for me.. Daaan kerennya lagi, di bisnis ini you are your own boss, kita sendiri yg nentuin kapan kita kerja, kapan kita jualan, kapan kita rekrut dan kapan kita ga kerja alias ga ngapa-ngapain (en ga dapet duit...hehe). Kalo mau dapet bonus yg besar of course you need to ,not just work hard, tapi juga kerja cerdas, work smart. And this is what I'm doing now... I'm back and focus myself in doing this business again. Pelajaran berharganya adalah, kalo jadi pebisnis atau pengusaha jangan pernah berhenti kayak sedang berolah raga. Sekali kita berhenti, berat banget untuk mulainya lagi, ngos2an, capeknya double dan badan kayak remuk abis ditinju. Tapiiii tentunya ga ada kata terlambat untuk memulai lagi karena setelah beberapa waktu efeknya badan jadi sehat dan of course kantong juga jadi sehat...hehe.. Keep in mind that even if this work looks easy, you need to take it seriously. And once you start reaching your targets, everything will be great! Dan karena aku juga, ehem, lagi dalam masa2 persiapan hari H bersama Mr Bule-kuhhh, it's fun to know that I can do it all together at the same time. Persiapan iyaaa, bisnis juga iyaaa, secara dua2nya bisa dikerjain offline dan online. Sekarang ini kan semua bisa di-search di Google. Mulai dari vendor2 untuk catering, decor, undangan sampe milih2 souvenir. So it's fun lah these days bisa multitasking dan teteup punya penghasilan tiap bulan. Masih 3 bulan lagi sebelum 2014 berakhir. Hopefully these days I can really do lots of things with focus and dedication. Best of wishes on my checklist, ga cuma buat wedding prep tapi juga buat list nama2 yg join Oriflame bulan ini. Have a beautiful month of September, everyone!

Yogjakarta, We're In Love

My Walter Is Here! Finally!

After 1 years and 2 months in long distance relationship with Walter, he's here finally. Arrived in Terminal 2E Soekarno Hatta International Airport.

You cannot imagine how happy I am now that I can see him in person. No more Skype, no more sleepless night just to see and talk to him on video call. He's here now, alive, healthy and soooo handsome!!

Thank you, LORD..

The Origin Of Christmas

Christmas is a holiday shared and celebrated by many religions.It is a day that has an effect on the entire world.
To many people, it is a favorite time of the year involving gift giving, parties and feasting. Christmas is a holiday that unifies almost all of professing Christendom.
The spirit of Christmas causes people to decorate their homes and churches, cut down trees and bring them into their homes, decking them with silver and gold.
In the light of that tree, families make merry and give gifts one to another.
When the sun goes down on December 24th, and darkness covers the land, families and churches prepare for participation in customs such as burning the yule log, singing around the decorated tree, kissing under the mistletoe and holly, and attending a late night service or midnight mass.
What is the meaning of Christmas? Where did the customs and traditions originate?
You, as a Christian, would want to worship the Lord in Spirit and in truth, discerning good from evil.
The truth is that all of the customs of Christmas pre-date the birth of Jesus Christ, and a study of this would reveal that
Christmas in our day is a collection of traditions and practices taken from many cultures and nations.
The date of December 25th comes from Rome and was a celebration of the Italic god, Saturn, and the rebirth of the sun god.
This was done long before the birth of Jesus.
It was noted by the pre-Christian Romans and other pagans, that daylight began to increase after December 22nd, when they assumed that the sun god died.
These ancients believed that the sun god rose from the dead three days later as the new-born and venerable sun.
Thus, they figured that to be the reason for increasing daylight.
This was a cause for much wild excitement and celebration. Gift giving and merriment filled the temples of ancient Rome, as sacred priests of Saturn, called dendrophori, carried wreaths of evergreen boughs in procession.
In Germany, the evergreen tree was used in worship and celebration of the yule god, also in observance of the resurrected sun god.
The evergreen tree was a symbol of the essence of life and was regarded as a phallic symbol in fertility worship.
Witches and other pagans regarded the red holly as a symbol of the menstrual blood of the queen of heaven, also known as Diana.
The holly wood was used by witches to make wands.
The white berries of mistletoe were believed by pagans to represent droplets of the semen of the sun god.
Both holly and mistletoe were hung in doorways of temples and homes to invoke powers of fertility in those who stood beneath and kissed, causing the spirits of the god and goddess to enter them.
These customs transcended the borders of Rome and Germany to the far reaches of the known world.
The question now arises: How did all of these customs find their way into contemporary Christianity, ranging from Catholicism to Protestantism to fundamentalist churches?
The word "Christmas"itself reveals who married paganism to Christianity.
The word "Christmas" is a combination of the words "Christ" and "Mass.
The word "Mass" means death and was coined originally by the Roman Catholic Church, and belongs exclusively to the church of Rome.
The ritual of the Mass involves the death of Christ, and the distribution of the "Host", a word taken from the Latin word "hostiall" meaning victim!
In short, Christmas is strictly a Roman Catholic word.
A simple study of the tactics of the Romish Church reveals that in every case, the church absorbed the customs, traditions and general paganism of every tribe, culture and nation in their efforts to increase the number of people under their control.
In short, the Romish church told all of these pagan cultures, "Bring your gods, goddesses, rituals and rites, and we will assign Christian sounding titles and names to them.
When Martin Luther started the reformation on October 31st, 1517, and other reformers followed his lead, all of them took with them the paganism that was so firmly imbedded in Rome.
These reformers left Christmas intact.
In England, as the authorized Bible became available to the common people by the decree of King James the II in 1611, people began to discover the pagan roots of Christmas, which are clearly revealed in Scripture.
The Puritans in England, and later in Massachusetts Colony, outlawed this holiday as witchcraft.
Near the end of the nineteenth century, when other Bible versions began to appear, there was a revival of the celebration of Christmas.
We are now seeing ever-increasing celebrating of Christmas or Yule, its true name, as we draw closer to the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ!
In both witchcraft circles and contemporary Christian churches, the same things are going on.
As the Bible clearly states in Jeremiah 10:2-4, "Thus saith the Lord, learn not the way of the heathen; and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven. For the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain. For one cutteth a tree out of the forest. The work of the hands of the workman with the axe. They deck it with silver and with gold. They fasten it with nails and with hammers that it move not."
So, what is wrong with Christmas?
1. To say that Jesus was born on December 25th is a lie! The true date is sometime in September according to the Scriptures.
2. Trees, wreaths, holly, mistletoe and the like are strictly forbidden as pagan and heathen! To say that these are Christian or that they can be made Christian is a lie!
3. The Lord never spoke of commemorating his birth but rather commanded us to remember the sacrifice of His suffering and death, which purchased our salvation.
Think about it! Can we worship and honor God by involving ourselves with customs and traditions, which God Himself forbade as idolatry? Can we convince God to somehow "Christianize" these customs and the whole pretense and lie of Christmas, so we can enjoy ourselves? Can we obey through disobedience?
So what is right about Christmas? 1. Nothing!
