THINGS ARE GONNA GET BETTER

Yeah, Yeah,

Hmmmmm

Everybody’s got a time in their life

When everything hurts and nothing’s right

But you gotta walk on

Yeah, you gotta walk on

Everybody’s got a piece of their heart

That’s been stepped on and torn apart

But you gotta be strong

Yeah, you gotta walk on

‘Cause I know it’s hard to have the strength

And sometimes you can’t get through the day

But things just float on by like a river in the night

But I know things are gonna get better

And I know things are gonna be fine

And I know life is gonna get better

Standing here together

Yeah, we’re gonna be fine

Everybody’s got that one regret

No matter how they try, they can’t forget

But you gotta move on

Yeah, you gotta move on

Everybody’s got someone they’ve lost

And they can’t believe they’re really gone

But you gotta live on

Yeah, you gotta live on

‘Cause I know it’s hard to have the strength

And sometimes all you feel is pain

But time keeps floating by on that river in the night

But I know things are gonna get better

I know things are gonna be fine

And I know life is gonna get better

Standing here together

Yeah, we’re gonna be fine

And I’ve been shown hope

I see it in your eyes

So take me and touch me

‘Cause with a little bit of love

We can win the fight

With a little bit of love

We can see the light

With a little bit of love

It’ll be all right

I know things are gonna get better

And I know things are gonna be fine

And I know life is gonna get better

Standing here together

Yeah, we’re gonna be fine

Walk, walk, walk on by

Keep, keep, keep walking on

Keep, keep, keep walking on

THE OTHER SIDE OF DOWN

Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, (Down, Down)

Here I am with all these questions hanging from my ceiling low
One by one they all keep telling me I told you so
Everywhere I turn I see red lights flashing over my head
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Mm-mm
In a whirl-wind spinning, yeah somehow it knocked me off my feet
But I know better than to let it get the best of me,
I could give up, I could stay stuck, I could move on

So I put one foot front of the other,
No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down-own
Down-own, Down-whoa-oh-ow-own

(Down, Down, Down-ah-own)

In the sky, I'm standing under all I see is endless rain
I think I spot a silver lining hiding in the gray
I might get tossed around, but I'm always bouncing back
Oh, oh, oh
I could give up, I could stay stuck, or I could move on,

So I put one foot front of the other,
No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down-own

Down-own, Down-whoa-ah-ow-own
Down-own, Down-own, Down-whoa-ah-ow-own

On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be
On the other side of down
It keeps calling me
Where I wanna be

Where I wanna be

Ohhh, I put one foot front of the other,
No, no, no, nothing's gonna break my stride,
I keep climbing, gonna keep fighting until I make it to the other side of down-own
Down-own, Down-whoa-ah-ow-own
Down-own, Down-own, Down-whoa-ah-ow-own

Ohh, Down, Down
Whoa, Whoa
Ohh, Down, Down
The other side of down, down
Other side of down-ah-uh-own
Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

SOMETHING ABOUT LOVE

Every night it’s all the same
You’re frozen by the phone
You wait, something’s changed
You blame yourself every day
You’d do it again
Every night

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

When you were young
Scared of the night
Waiting for love to come along
And make it right
Your day will come, the past is gone
So take your time
And live and let live

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

Don’t fight
Don’t hide
Those stars in your eyes (in your eyes)
Let em’ shine tonight
Let em’ shine tonight

Hang on
Hang in
For the ride of your life
It’s gonna be alright
Hold on tight

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh

There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free

There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees (to your knees)
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love

Whoa oh oh oh..
Set’s you free
There’s something bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain

LOOK AROUND

Keep on running
And you'll never get to feel the moment
It's like you're sleeping
'Cause you don't take the time to take it in

Like a train wreck, you're on a mission
Tunnel vision got you blinded
Better slow down before you lose ground
It will happen anyway
Paint it over if your world is gray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around

Shut the window tight
But it's raining on the inside
Do you realize you're getting nowhere
That it's all laid out for you?
Cut the ribbon if it starts to fray

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around

You found a loop hole that you fell in
Now you're treading water
You gotta see the hand
For it to pull you out

When you close your eyes to see the view
You'll miss everything surrounding you
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around

You can build your life right on air
What you need will always be there
Stop and just look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around
Get up and look around you

Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around
Oh, oh, oh, look around, look around

GOOD PLACE

I don’t know what I’m doing here
How I landed in this space
But it’s a good place

And I don’t wanna mess it up
Make mistakes or say too much
‘Cause it’s a good place

You find it
You hold it
You feel its grace

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late (I hope it’s not too late)
I hope it’s not too late

I’ve been silent up to now
I’ve been going with the flow
Wherever that goes

But something’s screaming down inside
Makes me want to close my eyes
And hear the echo

You find it
You know it
Don’t make it wait

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late

‘Cause I don’t wanna waste another summer
I don’t wanna wait until I fall
I could be a memory tomorrow
I could be nothing at all

I don’t know what I’m doing here
How I landed in this space
But it’s a good place

These are words I wanna say
Every hour of every day
These are words that say how good it feels
To be here with you today
I hope it’s not too late

Oh, yeah
I hope it’s not too late

Well, buddy! You can download that song and I hope you enjoy it!

Thanks and always keep spirit!

YOUR plan, not mine

hello buddy!
Today let us reflect. We are as human beings who have the Almighty Lord, do not rarely pray for something we want, something good happens to us, or pray that our dreams can be fulfilled. In essence, we must pray about all that is good and we expect to become a reality. Why do we only pray for our dreams which are good? And what about the plight that might happen?
In fact, we often beg and implor, "Lord, please ... make it real my God," "God ... this is my request from my deepest heart", "God ... please make this happen."

Let us read the story below.

Someone who always prays…
* At School Graduation
"God, please make me this time become a class champion. I've been studying diligently, I had worked and prayed diligently. Please O Lord, make me become the pride of all people. "
(GOD accepted)

* At the University Test Selection
"God, maybe this is the most request from my deepest heart. Please God, let me enter the university. I don’t want to re-learn again in for next year. God certainly, You don’t want your child be so grieving and mocked by others, right? God, I'm really asking that my name will be written on the list of students who qualfied. "
(GOD accepted)

* In a Job Test
"Yes, my Lord, God You already known my sacrifice for this. I fought from the bottom. Now, show my God that I can get this job or all will just become a vain. Yes, God I believe God will grant my prayer. "
(GOD accepted)

* As of the promotion to be Director
"This time theGod, don’t make me disappointed. I have to be a director. I beg, yes, Lord! I really hope this time. In this way, I promise will be more diligent in prayer. "
(GOD accepted)

Buddy, the story above, it was a perfect life for a man. Truly, he was a very very lucky because everything he requested had become a reality.

But, Have we forgotten about life in this world which full of joy and sorrow? Have we forgotten that life in this world like a wheel which is sometimes above and sometimes be under? That is, we certainly will not always be in good condition, happy and blissful. Sometimes, things get worse, sad and grieving. And oddly enough, we are more often just pray for all the good dreams come true? Let's think, if God always grant our good dream, then what about the dreams of others?
If God always grant our wishes as the story above. Then, when the Lord will grant the wishes of others? Can you bear to laugh happily after got the 1st rank, entered the best university, got a great job and became a director, while others is in despair because of his hope to get one of his dreams now have been destroyed?
Do we have a heart for it?

I believe that human beings who have a good character can not bear that circumstances. And I believe all who read this writing of mine is people with a conscience. So, we'll think about what other people feel.
Let us have an introspection, all this time we ask too much for what we want to be accomplished. In fact, behind that all God already has a plan for each of us. However, we are even more frequently emphasize that our plans have to happen. But, The Lord has set a beautiful project for us. God always knows what is the best for us.

So Buddy, do not always ask for our plans become true. But ask Him to bless you sincerely with pleased for the plan that he will give to you.

Oh yes, Buddy, yesterday I just read a story which took by a friend of mine from a website.
This is the story about, a little boy who trained hard eventually became a champion race car. Then he was asked by a jury, "You must have prayed to God so that you can beat your friends, right?"
Then, The Champion said, "It's true I prayed to God. But, I didn’t pray to beat my friends. I do not want my friends lose. I just pray that God strengthen me, so that I won’t cry when I lose . "

The story above shows the magnitude of conscience and a real belief of the little child. He has already trained so hard and he even did not ask for a good achievement for his hard worked. He only prayed that when he defeated, God give him strength not to cry. From here, we can know the little boy handed his win or lose to God.

Buddy, let's learn from the child. Let's surrender everything to God. Keep believing that God's design is a beautiful design. Therefore, let's whisper in your little soft heart, "Your Plan God, not mine.”

All right, Buddy! That is a lesson for today! Keep spirit of living life!

I'm Back

hello buddy!

How are you? Long time no see. Sorry, after so long I left this beloved blog. Yesterday, I was very busy with schooling. I joined the Biology Olympiad and some other games in Beijing {kidding! Not in Beijing, only in the State of pride, Indonesia}. So, yes.. I was just concentrating on my subject {um ... um}. A lot of experiences about ups and downs I felt at that moment. Well, just make it as a lesson and good memories ... haha.

Anyway, I failed to win championships in every game {Oh, no ... not .. Who said I fail? I didn’t}. Well, God said that it was not a right time for me to shine because it was still night {ha ha, now do you think I’m a sun? Shine here means to be a winner}. There are another time which the Lord has set in for an Egritha who will shine brightly.

A few weeks after the Olympics finished, I had to take the examination which was held at the school {Oh, mercy!}. Exams went well. Please pray yeah buddy ... hopefully the results are also satisfactory {Amen!}.

Now I don’t have other activities. Therefore, I will write regularly to fill empty time {yuhuuu! Smile!}. I'll pour some of the contents in my mind here{all these writings are written from my own experience, knowledge, and anything that happened in my life}. Therefore, don’t  be careless and tired to read my writing yeah! Keep spirit! {Come on, smile now!!}

Sculptor's Attitude

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight. I have responsibilities to fulfill today. I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friend or I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new tidbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or I can feel honored because the Lord has provide shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped. And here I am, the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.

What today will be like is up to me. I get to choose what kind of day I will have!

Have a GREAT DAY……unless you have other plans.

FORGET and DON'T FORGET

Forget about the days when it's been cloudy,
but don't forget your hours in the sun...

Forget about he times you've been defeated,
but don't forget the victories you have won...

Forget about the mistakes that you cant change now,
but don't forget the lesson that you have learned...

Forget about the misfortunes you've encountered,
but don't forget the times you luck has turned...

Forget about someone who broke your heart yesterday,
but don't forget someone who loves you tenderly today...

Keep Fighting!!!
