Happy International Friendship Day!!

This morning I saw a tweet from my friend in Twitter saying Happy International Friendship Day. 
I heard about this celebration before but never really memorize when it is and how to celebrate it. But it's just suit with this blog theme: women, love and friendship :) 

This blog was created as an idea from a group of women who share love and their friendship for many years and still count. Some of them knew each other from high school but the rest is just a friend met during the class in university. Earlier they belonged to different group but no one can really explained how this group has been created. We can called this group of girl (I used term girl since they were still studying when the group was created) as GG. GG is not an abbreviation of anything because it could many things. 

GG consist of 10 beautiful girls with different personalities. They share many good and bad stories although they are living in different place right now. There's a time when they met each other so often but there's a time when they even never met for many years. But as Elbert Hubbard said once: A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same. So, no matter you meet your friend everyday or once in couple of years, you will know by  heart that he or she is your friend. 


GG has many interesting stories to be told and I am excited to write about them. Some fictions will be added to the story to make it more interesting to read. I will introduce them in my next posting :) 


At last, I just wanna say Happy International Friendship Day for all. If you have your best friend stand beside you right now, you can give him/her a big hug. Thank them for the time you have share together. Promise them that you will give more love in the upcoming second of your friendship.True friend will never leave you ^-^

My big round hug to all my best friends, you are the BEST!!

Love - GG


Rendang's philosophy: more than just a meal

Do you know rendang?well,if I am asking to people who lives in Indonesia I am pretty sure most of them know what  rendang is.

If you don't have any idea about rendang you can ask Mr.Google to find it. Well this is one of the answer from Mr.Google rendang is a dish which originated from the Minangkabau ethnic group of Indonesia.Rendang is made from beef slowly cooked in coconut milk, spices and sometimes kerisik (toasted coconut paste) for several hours until almost all the liquid is gone, allowing the meat to absorb the spicy condiments. The cooking process changes from boiling to frying as the liquid evaporates. The slow cooking process allows the meat to absorb all the spices and to become tender. The spices may include ginger, galangal, turmeric leaf, lemon grass and chillies.

Well now you know what rendang is,but we will not discussed about how to cooked but we will related RENDANG with something that we called LOVE..I am sure everyone in this world know about Love..\(•ˆ⌣ˆ​​​​•)/

Uhhhhmmm let's begin..

Untuk memasak rendang diperlukan kesabaran yang sangat tinggi karena kita harus mampu menggodok masakan ini selama ini 3 jam lebih tanpa henti hingga bumbu masakan ini berbaur, masakan tidak menjadi hangus dan tangan tidak menjadi sakit setelah memasaknya. Begitu pula halnya dalam bercinta. Setiap manusia memiliki karakter yg berbeda sehingga dibutuhkan kesabaran yang sangat nyata untuk menyatukan dua orang dari latar belakang dan cara pikir yang berbeda.

Let's take an example: sebut saja si Buyung dia adalah anak pertama dari keluarga yang bahagia,agamais,dan terpandang. Suatu saat dia menjalin hubungan dengan seorang gadis (mari kita panggil dia Upik) anak pertama dari keluarga biasa yang orangtuanya bercerai dan hanya sedikit pernah merasakan kebahgiaan hidup karena dia harus selalu berjuang untuk mendapatkan apa yg dia inginkan. Nah,apakah yg akan terjadi di dalam hubungan mereka?Pertengkaran demi pertengkaran kerap terjadi karena ego keduanya tidak bisa ditekan.Si Buyung merasa dia harus selalu di dahulukan karena di keluarganya dia slalu menjadi prioritas.Sementara si Upik merasa dia merasa tidak boleh mengalah karena egonya sebagai wanita terasa terinjak-injak saat dia harus mengalah kepada pasangannya. Banyak hal-hal buruk lainnya yg mungkin terjadi yang bisa mengakibatkan kandasnya hubungan mereka.
Pertanyaannya adalah haruskah hubungan ini kandas begitu saja? Apabila hal ini dipertanyakan kepada saya, dengan tegas saya akan menjawab TIDAK! tentu hubungan ini tidak harus kandas dengan satu catatan mereka berdua harus memiliki satu hal yaitu kesabaran.Kesabaran untuk memahami kelebihan dan kekurangan pasangan. Jika mereka memiliki hal ini maka merekapun akan dapat saling mengisi, perbedaanpun bukan lagi menjadi kelemahan tetapi akan menjadi kekuatan mereka. Jadi dengan kesabaran semuanya akan indah pada waktunya.

Selain kesabaran ada satu hal lagi yang kita harus miliki yaitu tekhnik yang tepat untuk mengerti cara menghadapi pasangan sehingga tidak akan menimbulkan pertengkaran yang ujungnya akan berakibat menyakiti satu dan yang lain. Sama halnya dengan memasak rendang kita harus tahu teknik menggodok yang benar sehingga tangan kita tidak akan sakit setelah 3 jam mengacau masakan tersebut.^^

Nah teman, semoga kita dapat belajar untuk lebih sabar dalam mengahadapi setiap permasalahan yang timbul dari hubungan kita dan menyelesaikanya dengan benar sehingga hasilnya akan memuaskan sama seperti rasanya kita memakan rendang yang lezat.

Ingatlah setiap manusia itu berbeda dan setiap perbedaan itu adalah unik,keunikan tersebut yang membuat alam raya ini indah, dan janganlah coba untuk merubah pasangan agar mereka sama dengan dirimu karena itu akan mematikan keindahan dan membuat hambar sebuah hubungan .

What should I wrote?


Waiting for my husband to pick me up at office and I still have a time to write some notes to post in a blog, but what kind of nice-reading article would it be?
About my friends? Should I try it although it's so complicated to write it down.
One of my friends is really crazy with a baby or kids under 5 years old but amazingly she didn't want them when they cry.She's a mom-to-be although neither I nor our classmates will know when it's her time to getting married.Literally,she's just want to have a kids with no husband.
My word is diminishing to write about her.
So, what should I write huh?
Ok, what about Google?
Yes you named it..the search engine.
I don't want to let you know who has made Google,it's already on Google itself when you typed it.
I wanna share how Google can make parenting life easier.
Let me share with you.
One day at my office, my friends told me that his son has difficulty to make a poem with one of holy man named St.Peter. He told his father, my friend, to help him on this.
"I even don't know who's St.Peter than holy man, now I have to make a poem with his name" said my friends.
"So, what had you done with it?"I wonder.
"Hahhaaha..,you must have smart of course, typed the keyword to google, St.Peter poem. Blink your eyes and thousand of poem will just right on your notebook." My friend laughing.
Other days after office hour, when I was in TransJakarta busway, one of the passenger told his friend about his children.
"You know, in next 10 minutes my children will call me and asking me for not getting late at home because it's already dark outside".
"Hahaha...now children became smarter than us you know, every reason behind" said his friend.
"It is not yet done, wait for my story"said the man.
"What is it?" his friend replied, wondering to know.
"When in our car, my children saw a Transjakarta busway with a red and grey colour, then they ask me about the differences. I said the one with red use gasoline and the other grey use gasses. They replied me with the other question the difference between gasoline and gasses. I suddenly starred them and said better to find it in google when we got home. Hahaha...it makes myself and wife smile each other. We don't even think about it, but this children very unpredictable" the man end his story.
"Hahaha...your face maybe red at that time" his friend replied.
So, anyone will ignore Google nowadays? I don't think so.
