When I lost Rp 20 million in just 5 minutes...
Last Saturday when I was withdrawing money at ATM BCA, I forgot to finish the transaction and left the ATM while the card was still active. Foolish me, I just realize that my card was gone yesterday morning and when I checked my account, Rp 20 millions had dissapeared. 15 million was transferred to someone's account and 4,75 million was taken cash.
I was shocked.
Really, I until now I think I'm still feel that I'm half dreaming. 20 millions is my salary from last year, plus end-of-year bonus, rapple, THR, birthday gift from my Dad, etc. I'm fully understand that it is part of God's plan and I have faith that He is the fairest God above anyone else. I have to introspect myself why God allows me to suffer such a hard temptation. Strangely I could not shed a tears in facing this. My Mom is the one who was really shocked. I usually never let so much money left in my bank account. I was afraid this moment would happen to me so I usually only left small amount in my account. I was about to put my money in a deposit but before I do it, it has been gone. I've reported it to the police as a crime, also coordinated with BCA and asked to view the ATM camera. I put faith in God that He will uphold His law.
Now I can only put everything into God's will. God has granted me with his blessings, He also can allow me to have temptaion with the blessings I've received. I'm still very grateful because at least I still have 2 millions left in my account and this month's salary is yet to come. I only lost money which I can collect again, still not losing a home to return to, a family to love me, friends who are very supporting me, etc. with this happening I learned so much to be more appreciated the money I got.
This was also the first time I really feel how great my friends and family are. Early in the morning before office hour started, they already helped me in helping me. Many offered me to be my company to the police station and many also SMS-ed me to cheer me up and gave me strength. I think this precious friendship is one that even money can't buy. God, thank you, I got so much blessings around me that I may not realize so far, which are cannot be bought by money.
God grant me the Serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardship as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as He did, this sinful world;
As it is, not as I would have it.
Trusting that He will make all things
Right if I surrender to His will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life,
And supremely happy with Him forever in the next.

I'm alive, yes.. :) I'm really sorry to those who has tagged me because I almost never check my blog again. Neglecting my blog does not mean that I'm barely alive, but in contrary I'm so busy yet so alive these days. Since 1,5 months ago my afternoon-to-night life is so busy because of this kid.
She was previously belong to my neighbor, a Korean family, but last March they were planning to return to their country so they gave Momo to us because we often teased Momo and played with him from afar. That day, March 21, when I was walking to go to office, suddenly she bumped herself to my feet and following me along the way. I called my Mom to take her because I was afraid she would follow me to the highway. When I arrived at office my Mom told me the reason why she was being released so she would follow us. That day also I gave her name 'Momo'. KwP fans should know where this name came from!!! *grin* Yesss, she is a female, but I insists to give her name Momo, because literally Momo means 'peach' in Japanese and Momo was really chubby with wide ears. She was so cute but so naughty. I've never taken care of big dogs before (my dogs was toy dogs afterall) so although she was only about 3 months-old that time, she's still bigger and stronger than my other dogs.
About dog training
This time, I want to teach him in a right way of teaching, so recently I'm crazy in searching and reading methods to teach dogs. Reading these articles really changed my mind in taking care dogs. For example, sometimes we slap to punish her for peeing in our sofa when we're not around or calming her down in soothing voice when she was aggressive. Punishing a dog after her doing will not fix anything at all because she does not have any ideas what she's been doing wrong. Yelling at her "you should not pee on sofa!" is a even more ridiculous since how on earth she will understand human language. Calming down her aggression in soft tone while caressing her is not calming her at all but in fact praising her her for being aggressive so next time she will be more aggressive to get our attention more. Lots of people say "This dog is stupid, I want a dog who can obey me". Well, a dog without proper training will behave like an animal anyway. It's our duty to teach her how to live in human world. If you feel youo don't have time in taking care of your puppy,
don't take a dog. If you're lucky you may get a naturally smart and well-behaved dog, but don't stressed yourself if next time you get another dog and he behaves like a brat. It's our fault of separating him from her mother and littermates so young so he'll never know how to bite properly, kept him in house and never socialized him with another dog/person/place so he will always feel suspicious to your guests or even attempting to bite them. Teaching dog will not only keep you closer to your dog and bring understanding between both of you but to teach you to be more patient in everything.. well, that's my personal experience. Dealing with Momo's naughtiness at the beginning took lots of my patience but when one time she's behaving like I taught her to was really worthy. She's my daughter now.. :)
If you want to share about dog training, please contact me. I'd love sharing.. :)
Yesterday when visiting Gramedia, I bought lots of discounted exercises VCDs, including a mix between aerobic and fitness to burn fat, Pilates, yoga, and Taichi. I think I'm rather into these exercises since it feels that I'm fatter again. I also felt really tired at office these days so I need Pilates for joints training and Taichi for focus and breathing training. I love Taichi and thinking on practising this more.. :)
so, these are my daily activities :
5 a.m - 6 a.m : wake up, be prepared for going to work
6 a.m - 7 a.m : on the way to office
7 a.m - 5 p.m : at office
5 p.m - 6 p.m : on the way back home
6 p.m - 9 p.m : playing with Momo, dinner, take a bath, exercising
9 p.m - 10 p.m : studying LOMA, preparing to sleep
10 p.m - 5 p.m : deep sleep
Yes, playing with Momo takes my time because he's still on training and I just can't get my eyes off her to prevent her doing wrong. There is no time for watching movies since Dad watches news from 6-8 p.m. and my Mom watches PeTir 2 the next hour. My weekend is often like this:
5.30 a.m - 6 a.m : wake up, be prepared for going to fitness centre
6 a.m - 8 a.m : at fitness centre (swimming)
8 a.m - 10 a.m : breakfast, playing with Momo
10 a.m - the end of the day : spending time outside home
The activities outside home including searching for new taste of food, going to mall, gathering with family (sisters, brothers, and nephews/niece). Again, I barely have time to watch movies so there are many movies or VCDs pending to be watched.
Inocchi's book
Thanks very very much to Sley, I finally have this book! Some people said that even Amazon has run out of the stock of this book. Yes, Inocchi's writing a book about his life. Before I got this book, honestly, my interest to V6 has somehow fading a little and I'm not satisfied with the 3 DVDs. This book really makes me fall in love with him (again). This book opens the different side of Inocchi we all know this far. The real life Inocchi is a hard worker, smart, a musician, an artist, a very good friend, friendly, and serious in what he's doing. I starts to become jealous of Asaka Seto, his girlfriend... :) I'm so proud to be his fans. Yesterday I also watched his graduation on Gakkou e Ikou. I was also nearly cried when he's reading his statement on graduation ceremony and nearly in tears. I'm really envy with his friends, saying that the class when Inocchi's around is so alive. I'm really proud to love an idol like him. I guess from Johnny's agency V6 is the only group I still love and support. Gomen, IJ girls, I think I'm currently lost my interest in all Johnny's group, except V6. I don't know whether this is only temporary due to my very limited access to Johnny's files or not. But I'll always be V6 supporter no matter what.. :)
Last week I received my salary rapple from January to April... God is so good. I've never expected to receive that amount, far higher than what I was imagining. Thank you, God.
