Dreaming is a freedom, so free your dreams

Today I open my email and found an interesting mail from one of my friend. After I read that I think it's a nice email that I want to share to all of you.. You can see the title upthere, so you know this post is talking about Life and Dreams..I know everybody had two of them and I hope this post can help you realize your dreams in every single of your life..


"
Ada satu keluarga yang mengontrak rumah dan akhirnya membeli sebuah apartemen di lantai 60, apartemen itu memakan waktu sangat lama dalam pembuatannya, kemudian, tibalah hari yang dinanti, apartemen dambaan telah jadi dan selesai dengan baik, dengan semangat dan antusias mereka membawa banyak barang-barang untuk mengisi apartemen mereka.

Mereka membawa surat kabar, pakaian, mainan, makanan, kompor, lemari pakaian, tempat tidur, peralatan makan, televisi, alat musik, sabun, teropong, dan banyak sekali barang lain, “ nanti di atas, kita bisa nonton tv, main video game, masak terus makan masakan  buatan sendiri, bisa bersantai sambil mendengarkan musik  , bisa meneropong jauh, bersantai, mandi dulu, pokoknya enak deh... " demikian pikir mereka.

Sesampainya mereka di sana, mereka menemui developer, ternyata apartemen itu baru setengah jadi dan lift belum terpasang, mereka sangat kecewa dibuatnya  , mereka ingin pulang ke rumah lama mereka, tapi kontrak mereka sudah habis, dengan sangat terpaksa, mereka harus tetap naik ke atas sana dan tinggal di dalamnya menggunakan tangga darurat, mereka naik membawa semua barang mereka menggunakan tangga darurat. tangga demi tangga dilalui, mereka terus maju dengan semangat membara.

Sesampainya mereka di lantai 25 mereka kelelahan, mereka makan dan minum dengan lahapnya, lalu mereka melihat barang-barang mereka, semuanya utuh, timbul sebuah pikiran untuk mengurangi barang bawaan mereka, lalu mereka memutuskan untuk meninggalkan meja telepon dengan teleponnya, " toh di atas kita tidak perlu telepon atau pesan apa-apa, " demikian menurut mereka.

Di lantai 30 mereka tinggalkan baju, mainan dan lemari pakaian mereka, " toh kita masih memakai baju. " lalu mereka terus melaju ke lantai 35, mereka masih mengeluh dan memutuskan untuk meninggalkan barang mereka lagi yaitu televisi dan radio serta compo. " soalnya kita tidak perlu nonton tv, toh acara dan lagu-lagu  yang kita punya itu-itu saja. "

Teruslah mereka melaju sampai lantai 45, rasanya masih berat dan tidak menyenangkan, maka mereka tinggalkan kompor dan bahan makanan yang mereka bawa, " toh tadi masih kenyang makan banyak. "

Di lantai 55 teropong dengan tripod yang sangat besar  mereka tinggalkan begitu saja, " toh di atas mau lihat apa, belum jadi semua tower yang lain. "

Sesampainya di lantai 60, mereka masuk dan menyadari yang mereka miliki hanya sebuah kasur, tidak ada jalan lain, mereka hanya ingin tidur karena tidak ada pilihan lain.


And so.... what's the point ?

Mungkin anda bingung kenapa perumpamaan ini sangat panjang, perjalanan itu melambangkan kehidupan, tiap lantai yang ada, melambangkan umur dan anda adalah keluarga tersebut, barang-barang tersebut adalah mimpi anda, barang-barang tersebut adalah perlambang tindakan anda.

Di umur 25 anda mulai bekerja dan memutuskan untuk fokus pada pekerjaan anda, tanpa sadar anda telah mengeliminasi banyak sahabat potensial.

Di umur 30 anda sudah tidak memperhatikan penampilan dan melupakan hobi anda akibat sulitnya bersaing.

Di umur 35 anda mulai melupakan kesenangan yang anda dambakan di hari tua akibat kenyataan bahwa tabungan Anda tidak mencukupi.

Di umur 45 anda berhenti makan makanan yang anda sukai akibat terlalu banyak mengkonsumsi makanan di usia 25 yang mulai berdampak buruk di usia ini.

Di umur 55 anda benar-benar melupakan keinginan menikmati hari tua dengan memandang indahnya hidup dengan menikmati apa yang anda lewati, anda mulai kuatir dengan masa depan anak anda.

Di umur 60, anda menyesal tidak banyak yang anda dapat akibat tidak ada mimpi yang direalisasikan. anda hanya ingin cepat tidur selamanya, karena anda sudah tidak bisa lagi makan makanan enak, anda tidak memiliki achievement yang bisa dibanggakan, anda tidak punya siapapun yang menjadi sahabat anda, anda tidak bisa menikmati hobi anda di masa muda, kesehatan badan mengkuatirkan.

Hidup cuma datang sekali, jadi pastikan anda akan berjuang  untuk mencapai mimpi-mimpi anda ! Jangan lepaskan, tapi usahakan, jangan sampai kita kehabisan pilihan dalam menjalani hidup. "

Dreaming is a freedom, so free your dreams.

Playsuit






Looking for short escape for this weekend, I'm headed to Bandung. Actually it's not that sudden I choose Bandung, but because my friend also getting married there. Wedding ceremony will be take place in Padma Hotel & Resort, Bandung, so I spend two nights here at Padma for this weekend getaway.


Seen here is one adorable piece of short sleeve jumpsuit with V neck line from Cloth Inc's lastest collection. Recently I prefer wearing jumpsuit because of it's simplicity and easiness. You don't have to find a perfect top or bottom for your clothes, just put a jumpsuit and everything is done.
For completed the look I also wearing Chain Satchel Mini Bag in Grey from Phoebe the Label and Wedges Slippers from Poppits.


It was around 8 AM in the morning when we took these outfit photos. Lucky for me the lobby area isn't too crowded so I can took plenty picture without any interfere.

Kopi Pasar


Unlike other Coffee Shop, Kopi Pasar, as its name "Pasar" or Market in English is located at a food court in Blok M Market Compound. While the price mostly the same, they serve coffee in paper cup (for hot drinks) or plastic (for cold ones). However, the coffee itself might the one of the best compared to other coffee shop.

As this is located in food court, it is not suitable to hang out for coffee. Kopi Pasar is suitable as coffee to go, when you go shopping in Blok M.

Located in Dharmawangsa area, Butfirst is located on the back of a building. The place is relatively small, a typical for South Jakarta coffee shop, but it is give an aura of vintage and intimate. They also have outdoors, an indoor courtyard which is provided to people who smokes.
As an additional note; the barista here is one of the most talented which I have seen so far.

Woodpecker Coffee

Located in Panglima Polim area, Woodpecker is a small size coffee shop which are suitable for quick meeting with someone whether to have small talks or some quick business talk. One note though, the shop is facing west, so afternoon sun will shine directly to the cafe and at some time, the Air Conditioner in the shop cannot fight against it.

Sea View and Sunset



For it best scenery of sea view and sunset, me and my friend went to Ancol Beach located in North Jakarta last few weeks.  Ancol offering the unbeatable experience of dining and hang out by the beach while enjoying sea view as far as eyes can see.

We decided to take lunch there and spending our full afternoon  walking down the bridge and enjoying sunset view.

At the rocks




Me and My Friend, Flo

We took couple of pictures at Le Bridge. The wind blew very strong, so I constantly re-setting my hair. But after couple times I got tired from doing it, I decided to enjoy the view instead of caring about my messy hair.

Messy hair don't care :-)

We wait until the sun is going down and watch the golden hour view. So breath-taking isn't it? Suddenly I realized how great is our God to create such a beautiful things.
