Count your blessings!

I thank Allah for every penny in my pocket

I thank Allah for the breakfast I had today

I thank Allah for How I Met Your Mother series I have successfully downloaded

I thank Allah for the interviews I had recently

I thank Allah for always keeping my parents safe and healthy

I thank Allah for the smooth internet connection I've right now while writing this

I thank Allah for the freelance I got lately

I thank Allah for giving me a chance to teach the orphan and the poor

I thank Allah for my sister's plan of marriage next year

I thank Allah for the coffee I had this morning

I thank Allah for the random pessimistic feeling I have recently 

I thank Allah for letting me watch Desperate Housewife this morning

I thank Allah for larutan kaki tiga stock in my refrigerator

I thank Allah for letting me have tahajud and dhuha prayer everyday

I thank Allah for surrounding me with many supportive people

I thank Allah for the acne that is no longer popped out in my face

I thank Allah for many new friends I got along the interviews

I thank Allah for the toga I got yesterday

I thank Allah for making me believe that it's always darkness before the dawn

I thank Allah for making me survive through these difficult times

I thank Allah for all the good and bad I have in life

I know that Allah is preparing something good for me now

All I have to do is just wait patiently

Until it comes, I will never stop trying, praying, and counting all of His blessings

The story about water

Enjoying my saturday night with the magnificent sound of pouring rain in this exact time. How raindrops can make me feel calm and comfortable. Make me forget all dramas in my skripsi all of the sudden. And also make me wonder why those raindrops, the water, willingly fall down to the earth if in up there, there's a better place to stay for them. Altogether with their 'water family'. For down in the earth they are treated unwell, and in the end, will flow and end up in the gutter. But I guess they already have an answer to this silly question:

"Nothing is more miserable than becomes useless for others."

They know that they are more meaningful on earth, they had gone through a precious process before end up in the dirty gutter, for they willingly surrender their lives only for helping human beings. Because that's what makes them count. Makes them worthwhile. Just like us. Helping others will keep us worthy. Keep us alive..

For the genuine water and the smell of the wet land after the rain.

I wish I could bottle it and make a perfume from it. 

Things about me

Thanks-giving

What's a literature student without leaving her connoisseurs a memorable masterpiece in her blog, hahaha maybe it's too exaggerated. Well, this is one of my works during studying at college. Since, insha Allah next semester I'll take the skripsi issue seriously and leaving my jahiliyah times as a college student, I'll show you what's English Literature major offered you through this poem. Hope you enjoy it yaa :)

What If

By Niken Pranita Putri

‘What’ and ‘If’ are a simply single word.

‘What’ and ‘If’ can distinctly mean odd.

‘What’ and ‘If’ are separately different in their own world.

What if ‘What’ and ‘If’ come into ‘What if’.

What if human beings have wings?

What if human beings can read minds?

What if human beings were born to be holy?

What if human beings can turn back times?

What if human beings stay still in heaven?

What if human beings live only in their own delusion?

What if human beings do not have brain?

What if human beings cannot tolerate peace?

What if human beings have blinded heart?

What if human beings compete for the sake of their vanity?

What if human beings turn into a greedy one?

What if human beings take their minds’ off God?

What if those ‘What if’ enigmas will never be resolved?

Whatchoothink of it? Must be bad, rite? Ahhh what a shame!

Eh by the way, in this post, I literally want to thank all of my loyal readers for always taking times dropping by on my blog. Such an honor to have you all in my life. Here, because I like you all very much, i made this especially for you. Hope you like it :)

Yes, I like you. Stay in my life..

Hmm pray the best for my skripsi next semester yaa. Thanks :)

Much love,

Sketch Blog

Finally I found the owner of the sketch in this post. These sketches below are some parts of his work. Funny quotation and cute drawing made by him.













Or you can see more stuff in here. Just say Hi to him.. :D

Damn word!

What word do you hate most?

For me, it's 'PALING'!

Paling pandai, paling cantik, paling jahat, paling bodoh, paling jelek, paling dikenal, paling cocok, etc.

Why should discriminate? Why? Why? Why?

Well, sounds unfair, rite?

In my opinion, every person was born to be equal, to be treated fairly.. Maybe that's where the quote "Don't judge a book by its cover!" comes from.

So, what's yours?

ps: 'paling' means 'most' in English

"In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads. But they all make us who we are, and in the end they shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them we wouldn't be the person we are. So just live. Make mistakes, but learn from them. Have wonderful memories, but never ever second guess who you are, where you have been, and most importantly where it is that you are going. Just have faith that life is happening as it should." -- Sex & The City

Ruang Rupa Fest

Ruang Rupa Fest is a the 10th anniversary of Ruang Rupa and also as the premiere launch of Ruru Records. This fest was held at Galeri Nasional. I went there to see my fave band, Efek Rumah Kaca. Efek Rumah Kaca was performing at this event. Unfortunatelly I didn't take any pict with my pocket camera. I only took it with my phone. So maybe the quality isn't good at all. Here it is, Cholil Mahmud and friends.

I also watched Sir Dandy's performance at that event. He is sooo funny I almost die laughing because of him haha. I don't know why I love his words that he said in front of the audience. He just simply said it but strictly went to the point. He said that,

"Jangan takut kalo mau buat band. Karna ga semua orang suka musik bagus" -- Sir Dandy

Hahaha. Very sarcastic for those stereotypes daily music in the morning. You got the style, Sir! Love it :)

Salaam,
Niken

"How I still remember the taste of our hop-hop chol-mond till now. It's a bit different from any other beverages. Cause it's special. Just like you." -- selfquote

Discover Life

"When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our answers were things like astronaut, president… or in my case, princess. When we were ten, they asked us again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist. But now that we’ve grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how ‘bout this: who the hell knows?! This isn’t the time to make hard and fast decisions, this is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere. Fall in love – a lot. Major in philosophy ‘cause there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. And change it again, because nothing's permanent… So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… we won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”

LOVE COMES IN ALL SIZES

Your Friends will support you....

And respect your creativity

for thinking outside the box....

They'll be there when you need a

shoulder to lean on....

Or a great big hug....

A true friend takes interest in

understanding what you're all about....

They see beyond the black and white

to discover your true colors....

And accept you just the way you are...

Even when you just wake up in the morning

So make your own kind of music....

Follow your heart wherever it takes you....

And when someone reaches out to you,

Don't be afraid to love them back....

They may just be a friend for life....

Practice patience and tolerance.....

Good friends are hard to find, harder to leave....

And impossible to forget!

Share this with all your unforgettable friends today....

for those who make my life more colorful, friends. don't you know that i care about you?

#forward from LOVE COMES IN ALL SIZES

much love,
Niken
