15 Things To Do When You're Down

Chapter Seven.

Page 205 of 365.

15 Things To Do When You're Down


1. Playing with your nephew or niece or somebody else's kids. Kids won't let you be unhappy. They definitely will make you feel better. Or tired. At least, when you're tired, you won't have any energy left to be deppresed.

2. Binge - shopping. People say, when you're feeling low, do some random act of kindness. And i know that buying things helps our economy growth or something like that. It's like paying taxes: you're helping the government. But binge - shopping makes you happy. Paying taxes doesn't.

3. Go to your grandma's house. Nothing heals ache like grandma's cookies. Grandmas are like kids, they won't sense your deppresion. They only sense your hunger. They will make you feel better and full.

4. Tell everyone you meet that life is unfair until you fed up of your own words and decide to do something about your life.

5. Take a cab. Tell the driver to go to a place that comes up in your mind when he asks you where you are heading to. Enjoy the trip. Chat with the driver. Pay him twice.

6. Buy 10 pretzels and give each to everyone who smiles first to you.

7. Watch this video.

8. Give yourself a makeover. Be a brunette.

9. Write down the stuffs that make you feel bad. Burn it. Pour the ashes in the beach..

10. Take a train somewhere. Get lost. Try to find your way back home by asking help to strangers. Don't call your friends or family for help. Don't take a cab to go back. Only take advice for public transportation from the elders.

11. Go to the food court in a mall. Dub over everyone in your mind.

12. Get any Patrick Star poster. Put it on your ceiling so everytime you're awake you see it first.

13. Go to the gym. Flirt with all the cute trainers and members. When they smile back, wink.

14. Be a volunteer in an orphanage or animal shelter for a day . Or better, for a year.

15. Do the grocery shopping with your mom. Don't brag about how bad your life is. Ask her to tell you about her first love.

Ku Diciptakan Sempurna

Chapter Seven.

Page 201 of 365.

Ku Diciptakan Sempurna.


Sebelum dunia dijadikan,

dirimu telah ada di hatiNya.

Meski manusia tak melihat,

namun engkau indah di mataNya.


Kau diciptakan sempurna,

syukuri karuniaNya.

Kau diciptakan berharga,

lebih dari yang manusia lihat.

Lihatlah dirimu dari pandanganNya,

kau diciptakan sempurna.


Tapi aku tak seperti mereka.

Mengapaku tercipta berbeda?

Mungkinkah Sang Pencipta yang salah,

aku tak seindah rencanaNya?


Kau diciptakan sempurna,

syukuri karuniaNya.

Kau diciptakan berharga,

lebih dari yang manusia lihat.

Lihatlah dirimu dari pandanganNya,

kau diciptakan sempurna.


Ku diciptakan sempurna,

syukuri karuniaNya.

Ku diciptakan berharga,

lebih dari yang manusia lihat.

Ku lihatlah diriku dari pandanganNya,

ku diciptakan sempurna.


I love surfing around the internet.

There is a huge chance for you to be amazed with some random people's talent.

And just some days ago, i found this GREAT song, made by Joshua Setia.

Listen the song here. It's worth every second of buffering!

A Little Reminder For You

Chapter Seven.

Page 195 of 365.

A Little Reminder For You


Hello, readers.

It's been a while since the last time i said hi to you all.


Things.. changed. And changed. And changed again.

Some changed too fast, some changed too slow.

Some changes are good, some are not.

People come, people hurt, and then they go.

Some good friends made along the way, some have to leave.

Life's just being a life.


I have made some great accomplishments this year and many greater mistakes.

I met so many great people, new mentors, new friends.

I got so many ideas about everything. I have turned none of them into a workplan.

I gained some, I lose much.

I get lost and i found myself.

I'm pratically just being me.


I was told i was wrong.

I knew that i was wrong and i feel bad about it.

I was told that just 'feeling like to do something' won't get anything done.

I knew that i was wrong and i feel ashamed that i disappoint so many people.


I got so many bad news,

i got much more good news.

I sinned a lot,

I was forgiven.

Once.

And it's enough.


The thing is,

sometimes,

when bad things happen along the way,

you just need to dust it off.

And move on.

It's easy once you know what you are moving for: A better you.


Stop looking back.

Stop pity-partying yourself.

Start celebrating God's favor.


Yes, i believe that everyday we always have something that worth thanking for.

Count your blessings.

Seize the day.

Live the best of your life.

Celebrate God's favor for your life.


Cheers.

Tiga Bangku

Chapter Seven.

Page 193 of 365.

Tiga Bangku.


Tiga bangku.

Aku.

Kamu.

Dia.


Kamu akan duduk di tengah.

Karena kamulah yang menghubungkan aku dan dia.


Kamu akan memulai pembicaraan.

Bercerita panjang lebar tentang hidupmu.

Sementara aku dan dia mencuri pandangan malu - malu.


Aku, selalu akan duduk di sisi kirimu.

Karena dia selalu lebih indah dipandang dari sini.


Aku akan memberikan senyumanku.

Berusaha untuk tampak tulus dan manis.

Untuk dia, dan bukannya untukmu.


Dia, akan duduk di sisi kananmu.

Karena dia selalu menggenggam tanganmu sebelah sana.


Dia akan selalu tampak memukau.

Tanpa sedikitpun usaha darinya.

Karena dia memang selalu menyita perhatian.


Tiga bangku.

Aku.

Kamu.

Dia.

Rumit

Chapter Seven.

Page 191 of 365.

Rumit.


RAN:
Kalau kamu memang detektif, seharusnya kamu bisa menganalisis hatiku, kan!


SHINICHI:
Kamu ini rumit, tahu!

Kamu seperti kasus rumit yang menyusahkan!

Aku terlalu banyak melibatkan emosi kalau berurusan denganmu!

Sekalipun aku Holmes, aku tidak mungkin bisa memecahkan kasus serumit kamu!

Karena tidak mungkin aku bisa membaca dengan tepat isi hati orang yang aku sukai...



Kamu..

Memang serumit sebuah kasus pembunuhan di ruang tertutup.


Kadang,

aku selalu berpikir bahwa alibimu terlalu kuat.

Untuk aku tuntut dengan tuduhan mencuri hati ini.


Kadang pula,

kamu dengan cerdiknya meninggalkan kepingan petunjuk.

Untuk aku rangkai dengan harapan aku sadar tentangmu.


Kamu..

Memang seberbahaya obat APTX 4869.


Kadang,

kamu selalu bertindak bersih tanpa meninggalkan jejak.

Seperti sang penyihir terang bulan.


Kadang pula,

kamu membabi buta seperti pembunuh bertopeng pendendam.

Seakan menikmati setiap jerit ketakutan.


Kamu..

Selalu tampak manis seperti Ran Mouri.


Dan aku..

Aku..

Harus pergi dari hidupmu, selayaknya Shinichi Kudo.

I'll Try

Chapter Seven.

Page 187 of 365.

I'll Try.


I'm not the best poet in the world.

But i'll try to make a poem, a good one.

Because of you.


I'm not the best singer in the world.

But i'll try to sing a song, a nice one.

Because of you.


I'm not the mightiest man in the world.

But i'll try to move a mountain, a big one.

Because of you.


I'm not the cutest guy in the world.

But i'll try to give you a smile, a sincere one.

Because of you.


I'm not the smartest kid in the world.

But i'll try to solve this heart question, a hard one.

Because of you.


I'm not what you want.

Neither what you need.

But i'll try.


I'll try hard.

Selalu MenyembahMu

Chapter Seven.

Page 184 of 365.

Selalu MenyembahMu.


Kaulah Allahku
Penolong dalam kesesakan jiwaku
Kau brikanku damai dan sejahtera
Yang kurindukan di dalam dunia

Kau Allah yang setia
Penjaga jiwa yang ada senantiasa
Penuntun hidupku pelita jiwaku
Kini kuhidup bagiMu

Selalu menyembahMu
Jadikan diriMu tempat pertamaku
Biarpun gelombang datang dalam hidupku
Ku tau Engkau slalu besertaku

Sampai slama-lamanya
MenyenangkanMu itulah rinduku
Jadikanku penyembahMu
Yang taat kepadaMu

Selamanya
Selamanya
Selamanya
Seumur hidupku


This is a song by 3PM band. You can listen the indonesian version, with the lyrics above, here.

Oh, and there is an english version by the City Harvest Church, watch it here.

Have a great day and be blessed. :)

No Greater Love

Chapter Seven.

Page 182 of 365.

No Greater Love.


No greater love.

Than a love that sets you free.

No greater love.

Than a love that gives you hope.

No greater love.

No greater love.


When you feel alone,

and on your own,

just look up above.

There is love, there is love.


When you cry for help,

and no one heard,

you can always cope.

There is hope, there is hope.


No greater love.

Than a love that makes you sing.

No greater love.

Than a love that hold you close.

No greater love.

No greater love.


No greater love in this world.

No greater love i can ever feel.

No greater love, no greater love.
