one member of a primitive tribe named Zed (Jack Black) was banished from his village and he used that chance to pursue his dream, to see the outside world that he has never seen before…he thought that he is the chosen one by God to make the journey…so his journey began, together with his friend Oh, he met some people from the Bible, got through a lot of trouble and adventures, trying to save his tribe from the slavery…
i don’t like this movie, it’s not a good movie i could say, i don’t recommend this movie…but there’s one thing that i got…in the end of the movie, when people finally call him as the chosen one, he said “Maybe we can all make our own destiny. Maybe we could all be chosen.”
i think he got a point there…yeah, our destiny are not decided by anyone else, not by our moms or dads, our boyfriends or girlfriends, or our leaders, but our destiny are decided by ourselves, every one of us…yes, God has chosen us from the beginning of the life…as the Bible says in Psalms 139:16 “All the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.”
I imagined this like a choose-your-own-story book that i used to read back when i was a kid (have you ever read something like that?) the book has one main story, about certain character(s), and how will it end is decided on how you choose the way…God already write all the story, He makes us the main character, and He’s giving us the freedom to choose how our story go…do you want a good destiny, a happy ending??then make a good choice on your story…

it’s all thanks to HIM i’ve got this far, so close to my dream to go to Japan…after passing the primary screening, I’m required to get a letter of acceptance (LoA) from a professor in Japan whom I want to do research with…I sent the form via EMS (it costs $9) on July 31st and the post office employee said that it would be delivered in 4 days…I got a little bit doubted again when I track my shipment in the internet on August 5th and see that there is no more progress after it departed from Soekarno-Hatta Airport…but again I tried to keep my faith in Him…
the next day, when I was having lunch with my sister N, I just tried to check my e-mail with my cellphone…and there is an e-mail from the Japan professor saying that he had sent me back the LoA…I felt so much relieved…in the evening I checked the tracker again, it had been updated, and it said that it had been delivered on August 3rd!! wew…but it doesn’t really matter now…the most important thing is that I should be receiving it in the next few days…
I thought it was going to be delivered in (also) 4 days, but surprisingly, just two days later, my mom at home messaged me that it had been delivered…wow…finally I got it…I have sent it back to Japanese Embassy in Jakarta with other required documents yesterday, and now it’s time for another wait…a little bit more…gotta keep my faith…
My LoA (anyone can translate it for me??hehe)
thank you August 12, 2008

belakangan ini gw lagi sangat menikmati waktu2 gw ama adik2 kecilku, sebut saja N dan E…well, mrk bukan adik kandung memang, tp rasanya udah ky adik gw sendiri…sama N gw udah cukup deket memang, qta udah sering ngobrol n cerita2 banyak hal, tapi gw baru bener2 ngerasain deket belakangan ini…kalo ama E tadinya gw ga begitu deket, jarang ngobrol, tp belakangan gw mulai bisa banyak cerita2 ama dia, memang masih blm ky ke N sih, tp ngeliat dia yg selalu lucu (buangettt), kata2nya yg banyak ngeberkatin gw, bikin gw bs ngerasa tenang…mungkin setelah gw ngalamin suatu proses, gesekan ama seseorang yg udah deket ama gw, bisa dibilang sahabat gw, yg bener2 bikin gw sempet down, depresi, stress, dsb, gw jadi tambah banyak cerita2 ama N dan E, n mungkin itu yg bikin gw jadi ngerasa deket ama mereka…wkt gw lagi down, mrk ada utk ngedukung gw, ngedengerin semua keluh kesah gw, meskipun mungkin kadang mereka ga bs kasih solusi apa2, tp keberadaan mrk cukup bikin gw tenang…dan di waktu masalahnya bisa dibilang dah ampe puncaknya, ampe gw udah bener2 ga tau lagi harus ngapain lagi, ampe gw ngerasa takut bgt akan kehilangan seorang sahabat (i wish i don’t), Tuhan ingetin gw kalo gw masi punya orang2 yg sayang ama gw, termasuk mereka…selama deket ama mrk gw sendiri jg belajar byk hal ttg pure heart, gmn gw bs bnr2 memperlakukan mrk seperti adik gw sendiri, seperti yg dibilang di 1 Tim 5:2 (…dan perempuan-perempuan muda sebagai adikmu dengan penuh kemurnian. )
buat N dan E: thanks banget buat semuanya, buat setiap share, dukungan, cerita2, keceriaan, kelucuan, dll…I do wish we can get to know each other better and better, spending time and having fun together more and more…I really love you sis…
for my bestfriend, if you read this, once again I’m really sorry for everything I had done in the past that made you uncomfortable, or even maybe made you hate me…I just want you to know that I care for you, I don’t ever mean to hurt you…I just want us to be close again…honestly I’m still afraid of you, I don’t want to see you get upset at me again, that makes me keep our distance…but I really don’t like this, it’s so uncomfortable for me, I don’t want to keep being like this…I wish you feel the same…I wish we can be close again soon…
