the bell rings

yea...the wedding bells of my closed ones going to ring very long this year,i had more than 5 cece going to be a bride this year.great news after great news and here i'am standing at my vendor to promote wedding packages.

Yes,3 days grand wedding exhibition that only held once a year at PRJ Kemayoran,i was exist there.Helping my aunt's sister and my cousin to promote their bridal and photography,a long sighed of relief that it's finally over.

My aunt who has a bridal named after her,Julia Sposa was her fruit from years of hard work.Her current bridal located at PIK,and all her gowns are customed designs and pure hand made.Start to love sewing when she was 12 years old and now 38,she is a lady boss who owns four storey of bridal.

My cousin,robby artanto,23,who graduated from Binus in computering degree,dare to chase his passion for photography that he collaborated with aunt Julia in wedding photography called Pittura (in italy-potrait).

As a normal crowd,you confused for the restaurant to eat,for the boutique to shop,for the package to choose.it only last for a short tick of confusion.

And as the one who owns a business,i feel that i had a great barrier for full confidence.especially when you are at an exhibition,or shall i say the fighting arena?we called ourselves a competitor rather than a boss.

I learned that,if we called ourselves a competitor,we will exhaust ourselves at the end because it will be endless journey yet sometimes it push us to new level of ideas and creativity.is it true we are linked in this life?we only just need to believe in ourselves,do what we can do and do the best.the rest,Daddy in Heaven will press another button for us.

So at this exhibition,although tired,i've met new friends instead of enemies.i enjoyed myself very well.

dragon bay

For to me,to live is Christ and to die is gain.If Iam to go on living in the body,this will mean fruitful labor for me.Yet what shall I choose?I do not know!I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ,which is better by far but it is more necessary for you that i remain in the body.Convinced of this,I know that i will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, so that through my being with you again your joy in Christ Jesus will overflow on account of me. Phil 1:21-26

This verse has given me a great jolt.

almost half of 2009 i had spent in Jakarta,is it too early to speak about christmas?because believe me,it's getting near.if i used the half and quarter language.

last saturday,i went to help chung and his associates for his school social project,part of their semester percentage.i helped them in documentation:my first time going to a village and do social work.The village is called Dragon Bay (teluk naga). Chung and his associates were teaching the village ibu-ibu to bake cupcake with oven and a traditional stove.This event really caught my interest.

It's good to be a stranger one fine day that i'm free to hide behind the camera,capturing the students teaching with great amount of patient and the villagers eagerness of learning,their enthusiast faces and the children innocency.even under the hot sun,it's worth it.

now,
i hope every little space of my time,i could also share my love to the ones i miss and those around me.
