true love can( surely)wait!
gue mik
ir bolak balik choosing this subject as my next blog…bukan apa sih…since " LOVE STORY" is always something that people really want to hear and expect magically hapenned in our lifes…we always get excited to want to know what is the romantic love story that people can pass it on…
because we, human, designed to be loved and to love…we can’t live without love- whatever it forms,your parents’ love, your friends’ love or love between a man and a woman-…we need love!
pagi ini di gereja,gue ditodong pertanyaan klasik( coz I hear it thousands times!!! trust me..)ama seorang ibu," so,when do you think you wanna get married and have kids? have u ever think about it? "
I just politely answered and smiling," I’m taking my time for that…." and she continued " don’t get rush, honey,I remembered that you are in your late twenties, right? but, look at me, I started married and have kids at my forties…and also, your baby face(- hey, she truly said this part! LOL) make people guessing that you’re still in early twenties…"
Hhhhhh…I’m taking a deep breath..
nggak gampang jadi cewek single and hip! hahahhaha…nggak bisa dihitung deh, berapa banyak orang yg tanya,kok masih single terus sih? say it, dari my own family( like everytime my mom calls back to Indonesia, my aunties always asking( and show their concerns), lia udah punya pacar belom?…also my from my workplace, my coworker( she’s from China, age around 40’s,she’s really sweet and love me..),her name is Qing2…selalu tanya " Liaaa..( with her thick Chinese aksen)…give me the list, what kind of man that you’re looking for, I’ll help you find one…do you want Indonesian, American, or Chinese?…" and I always says" Qing2…I’m fine…thanks for your offer.."
I’m not the only one who struggle about being single in this age…I know some of my dear friends also…no matter, they’re in US or in Indonesia..
Di indonesia, it must be very hard for our culture, accept that you’re a girl or have a daughter, in her late twenties and not married yet…orang bilang" hati2..ntar jadi perawan tua, lo!…jgn terlalu pilih2…seadanya ajalah..dijalani dulu, tresno jalaran soko kulino(- eh bener nggak, pepatah jawa kuno ini, tolong diralat kalo salah ya..heheheh)"
Thanks to emansipasi wanita, yg sekarang cewek nggak cuman ditakdirkan nunggu jodoh, aksesoris suami and kerja didapur ( please don’t get me wrong,..I’m not against it, I think it’s very noble also being a housewife and takecare your family). I just thinking that also a lot of things that we can do-as single women- when still waiting our time finding Mr. Right, enjoying ourselves and be happy with it.
It’s not my time yet..
waiting and waiting…and pray..
sebagai orang kristen, yg mungkin dianggap nggak masuk akal and nuts, gue ngerasa peace and confident, coz Jesus has promise for you and for me…that He won’t let you down…He knows the desire in your heart..if He can fulfill small things in my life, so He even cares more about my big matter like my soulmate…Doesn’t He? 
buat te
men2 gue yg masih single fighter…Don’t be discouraged and have a big heart…He knows the best for you..Can’t wait to have that moment and I’ll share it with you…
ps: kemaren gue liat vcd " IF ONLY" drama romance…Jennifer Love Hewitt ..the story about how to love someone like there was no tomorrow…romantis sih, gue sampe nangis( jgn diketawain yo…)aww…it really touched my heart!

protes! hantai!
not only single women are liberated, married women are also have as much freedom as single women. as long as you realize and have confident of what you are, what you’re capable of, nobody’s gonna be anybody’s accessory. just as long as you do what you like. tapi kadang2 wanita kayak gt sering dibilang egois, tp padahal kalo suami juga ndak protes malah mendukung, what people say just don’t count at all. cos they just dont know u. sorry ranting like crazy woman. cuman kasi opinion aja…. hehehehe piece ^_^V.
Dan aku setuju kam, to wait til you meet mr. right. cos marriage suppose to be forever, he’s gonna be the 1 who’s gonna stay with you til the end of your life, you’r gonna share life together. kalo u appriciate what’s called marriage, u are absolutely right. ora usah kesusu…. ^_^ eventually, if you take the wrong turn, sing kena juga you juga tho… big supporter on this issue. so people, lek kawin jgn sembarangan…

Owww, my dearest best fren…are we twin separated by birth???…yeah…it’s very hard to be single in late twenties in INDONESIA (especially in our hometown)…hahaha…but, as we always discuss bout the topic, i (or shud i write “we”) won’t get rush only for being free from society’s sick judgment. Enak aja mereka bilang,”nunggu apa lagi, gak usah pilih2″…yee, kan yang merit kita…100%agree with jonny n yui’s opinion…well, actually this time is our golden time…go wherever we want to, do whateva we want to, reach whateva we dream of, etc, etc (and maybe the golden time will be continued if we found the kind of hubbie like yui’s description)…sooo…dont worry i walk beside u…always…

Take a deep breath and look at many other blessings God has given you that’s all I can say.
You might be in a pretty good health; you might have the privilege to have a roof above your head, a transportation for work or school, or anything…maybe we should start from the basic… In order for us to post some comments on this blog, we have to be able to see, read, type, and creativity. All of you, including me obviously have those attributes.
Anyway, I often struggle with this issue, but one thing we know that He is definitely in control of us, His children. I know it’s hard to see His goodness when we’re in trials (I experience it all the time), but when you think about it afterwards, why we so recklessly and bluntly worried about all these stuff…, we realized that He was and is and will be in control and who were we kidding. He never gives us things that we can’t handle, right?
That’s pretty much it I want to say. Many blessings to all of you.
