Life is Amazing : Lost and Found

I have nice whats-app conversation with a very close friend when I just arrive in Santiago airport, 22 March 2016, from my trip in San Pedro de Atacama. I was telling her that I have lost my ATM card, I realize I lost it when I am about to pay food and souvenirs in Calama airport and she responded.

She: Is it stolen?

Me: No, I don't think so, San Pedro de Atacama is very safe and I have always take care of my important stuff with me when I am in hostel or on trip. I think I forgot it in the Banco Estado ATM machine when I draw money that evening on my last day in San Pedro de Atacama, after got the money I left).

She: Why? What have changes you?

Me: (hahaha) I don't know why Chile has turn me into an irresponsible person :)

        I lost my Sony headset in Puerto Montt

        I lost my sun glass in Tierra del Fuego

        I lost my ATM card in San Pedro de Atacama

She: Next time you will lose your heart

Me: I have lost it in Santiago :( (PS to a guy: I am sorry the way it is) 

She: (laugh)

Me: but I have found life, hope and love in San Pedro de Atacama through my journey ;) so I am not regret at all. I need to learn how to lose because I gain too much. My life is just perfectly full of blessing. (PS to a very special guy who accompany my journey there, you have change the way I see things, good people is everywhere, we just need to find a way to build relation with them).

Lesson learned! Behind all the lost, I am not regret at all compare to all the amazing experiences that I got and had, they are more valuable than money. I need to learn how to lose because God has giving me more that I deserved. He is wonderful God and I love him.

Yeah, that's a life lesson, lost and found. Give thanks in every circumstances! #YouAreMyFlashlight
C'est la vie! C'est très bon! Fondamentalement, la grâce est la vie de Dieu en nous.

Quote 5: Stranger

"Somehow, happy being a stranger in the street where nobody knows you and also feel being a local while talking with the people." - Erna M. Manna

That's the moment I have always longed to be, to be wild free, go everywhere I want to see in this beautiful world, to enjoy HIS creation. #FreeLikeBirds #FlyAway
No one can't stop me from travel! like John Cheever said : "I've been homesick for countries I've never been, and longed to be where I couldn't be."

It is interesting that when I capture the title, the first city came to my mind was Amsterdam but noooo I was wrong, no Amsterdam in this list, well The Netherlands have Utrecht on this list, and they give explanation why those cities in the list became world's best cycling cities, you should read by yourself. I wish I can do cycling in all the cities have mention on the list :) I hope as well my country, Indonesia or specifically my hometown can encourage people to do cycling for health and better environment. #saveourplanet

Hereby the list of the best cities for cycling base on CNN report:

1. Berlin, Germany
2. Copenhagen, Denmark
3. Montreal, Canada
4. Portland, Oregon, USA
5. Utrecht, The Netherlands
6. Seville, Spain
7. Tokyo, Japan
8. Bogota, Columbia

Enjoy cycling!

Wanita Terbaik

Jakarta, 1997

Dia baru saja tamat SMU dan melanjutkan kuliah kedokteran tahun pertama, setahun kemudian tiba berita itu....

What? Kanker rahim?

Jantung seakan berhenti berdetak sewaktu dia divonis kanker rahim. Wanita dan kanker rahim, sesuatu yang menakutkan! Tak ada pilihan lain saat itu, operasi dan kemoterapi, dia harus cuti kuliah. Perubahan - perubahan itu mulai nampak, rambut lurus sepinggang tinggal cepak pendek, kulit kuning langsat bersih menjadi pucat gelap, wajah cerah berbinar tampak lusuh capai menahan sakit tapi dia tidak menyerah, dukungan keluarga membuatnya kuat dan tentu saja Tuhan yang dia percaya selalu memberinya pengharapan. Selesai kemoterapi dia kembali melanjutkan kuliah dan harus tetap melakukan kontrol kesehatan.

Jakarta, 2002

Kanker itu kembali, sudah terlanjur menyebar, kalau sebelumnya rahim sebelah kiri, kali ini rahim sebelah kanan. Dia seakan tak sanggup lagi, ingin menyerah tapi dukungan keluarga membuatnya kuat. Operasi dan kemoterapi lagi, rahim itu diangkat. Pendidikan koas/ko-as/ko-asisten atau dokter muda harus tertunda. Dia sudah seperti hampir mati, tubuhnya tinggal kulit dan tulang belulang. Tapi dia bertahan hidup!

Jakarta, 2005

Dia berhasil menyelesaikan kuliah kedokterannya dan resmi menjadi dokter umum, kemudian kembali ke kampung halamannya, Sumba, mengabdi bagi masyarakat setempat. Setiap kali ke Jakarta, dia harus melakukan kontrol kesehatan. 

Kini dia dinyatakan bersih dari kanker, what an amazing and wonderful life! 

Sekarang dia menjadi tulang punggung keluarga, selalu menjadi penolong dan penghibur di saat hidup seakan tak adil, teladan bagi adik-adik dan kebanggaan keluarga. Keinginannya melanjutkan pendidikan ke jenjang spesialis masih ada, hanya menunggu waktu, semoga pemerintah daerah tempatnya mengabdi membuka mata dan hati bahwa mereka perlu dokter spesialis putra-putri daerah yang bisa mengabdi bagi daerah tersebut.

Terima kasih Tuhan untuk wanita terbaik yang Engkau berikan, kiranya terangnya bersinar terus, menjadi berkat bagi sesamanya.

Wanita itu adalah dr. J S L Manna, wanita itu adalah kakak saya, saya bangga menjadi adiknya, dialah wanita citra cantik Indonesia.

My Comment On Twitter Used By Media

I was looking for my Facebook link on the internet and after googling it, I found some article that wrote my comment on twitter about yahoo mail problem in 2013 on their website. So I think it is good to post here as well to remind me that what we are doing or posting in the internet can go viral and easily access by readers around the world. Be wise and make a good impact via internet.

Yahoo Minta Maaf Layanan Email Bermasalah

Thursday, 12 December 2013, 15:43 WIB

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA --  Sejumlah pengguna layanan Yahoo! Mail di Indonesia mengeluh kesulitan mengakses akun surel (email) mereka Senin (16/12). Sebagian besar keluhan itu disampaikan lewat jejaring sosial Twitter. 

"Yahoo Mail kok susah dibuka sih?" tulis Anggita Prasanti melalui akun ‏@onyeoye, Senin (16/12). 

Hal senada juga disampaikan Avada Kedavra dengan akun ‏@730ncunk menulis, "Yahoo mail dari kemaren error mulu... -_-."

"I need my email back, it is really important, please fix it cc @yahoomail @Yahoo," tulis pengguna lain, Erna Megawati Manna melalui akun ‏@mega_ern. 

Layanan Yahoo! Mail dilaporkan ngadat pertama kali pada Senin (9/12) malam pekan kemarin oleh sejumlah penggunanya di seluruh dunia. Masalah itu terjadi selama hampir seminggu penuh. 

CEO Yahoo, Marissa Mayer pada Jumat (13/12) meminta maaf secara resmi ke sejumlah pengguna atas ngadatnya layanan email mereka. Ia menjelaskan gangguan terjadi karena kerusakan pada perangkat keras di pusat data mereka. 

Mayer, yang menyatakan permintaan maaf melalui blog post di Tumblr, mengatakan gangguan itu dialami satu persen dari jumlah total penggunanya.

Ia juga mengklaim hingga Jumat kemarin "hampir semua" akun pengguna yang mengalami masalah telah diperbaiki. 

Belum dapat dikonfirmasi apakah gangguan yang dikeluhkan beberapa pengguna Yahoo Mail di Indonesia hari ini juga diakibatkan hal yang sama.

Pekanbaru.co — Mungkin termasuk Anda salah satunya yang mengeluhkan lambatnya loading yahoo mail beberapa waktu terakhir. Sejumlah pengguna layanan Yahoo! Mail di Indonesia mengeluh kesulitan mengakses akun surel (email) mereka Senin (16/12). Sebagian besar keluhan itu disampaikan lewat jejaring sosial Twitter.

Ia juga mengklaim hingga Jumat kemarin “hampir semua” akun pengguna yang mengalami masalah telah diperbaiki. Belum dapat dikonfirmasi apakah gangguan yang dikeluhkan beberapa pengguna Yahoo Mail di Indonesia hari ini juga diakibatkan hal yang sama

Permohonan maaf ini dilontarkan setelah membanjirnya keluhan dari sejumlah pengguna email Yahoo terutama di media sosial terkait gangguan layanan yang berlangsung hingga dua hari tersebut.

“Kami mengetahui kalau sejumlah pengguna kami tidak bisa mengakses Yahoo Mail. Kami berusaha untuk mengembalikan akses… Mohon Maaf,” kata Yahoo melalui Twitter resminya, Rabu (11/12) waktu setempat.

Jeff Bonforte, Vice President of Communications Products Yahoo, melalui blog resmi perusahaan mengatakan masalah terjadi akibat adanya gangguan di salah satu pusat data email Yahoo. Ia tidak menjelaskan lebih rinci, apa penyebabnya dan bagaimana masalah itu terjadi.

“Masalah itu ternyata lebih sulit diperbaiki daripada yang kami perkirakan sebelumnya,” kata Bonforte. “Kami sudah mengerahkan lusinan staff untuk terus bekerja dan memperbaikinya.” tambah Bonforte.

Yahoo dalam pernyataan terbarunya hari ini mengatakan layanan email sudah kembali pulih untuk sebagian pengguna yang menggunakan browser, iOS, Android, atau Windows 8.

Hanya saja pengguna yang mengalami masalah mungkin tidak bisa mengakses email yang dikirim pada rentang 9 Desember-25 Desember 2013. Yahoo mengatakan tengah memperbaiki masalah tersebut.***

Mein Name Ist :

My name using Skizze app from my Sony mobile

My Persian name, written by my Iranian friend, Mercedeh, during YES 2015 Switzerland in Zurich

My name using 7apps.me, this app change the meaning of the name everytime the name entered, so this is the first one that I got ;)

I Lived!

Hope when you take that jump, you don't fear the fall

Hope when the water rises, you built a wall

Hope when the crowd screams out, they're screaming your name

Hope if everybody runs, you choose to stay

Hope that you fall in love, and it hurts so bad

The only way you can know is give it all you have

And I hope that you don't suffer but take the pain

Hope when the moment comes, you'll say...

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second that this world could give

I saw so many places, the things that I did

With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Hope that you spend your days, but they all add up

And when that sun goes down, hope you raise your cup

Oh, I wish that I could witness all your joy and all your pain

But until my moment comes, I'll say...

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second that this world could give

I saw so many places, the things that I did

With every broken bone, I swear I lived

Oh [4x]

With every broken bone, I swear I lived.

With every broken bone, I swear I...

I, I did it all

I, I did it all

I owned every second that this world could give

I saw so many places, the things that I did

With every broken bone, I swear I lived.

Oh [4x]

I swear I lived. Ohhh [2x]

Lord, I Believe

Lord, I believe!

Happy Easter

Frohe Ostern

1 Corinthians 13:4–13 (NIV) :

4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.

5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.

6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 

10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears.

11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me.

12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.
