This year I've decided to pamper myself a bit by buying Christmas presents to the one who has been soo loyally stay by my side all through my ups and downs my whole life ;)

And what's a better time than Christmas cause this is the season of giving, the season to spread love and joy around the world, and just like the Nutrilon's commercial said.. something must come from inside first, huehehehe :p

Anywayy.. I actually wanted to buy another thing for me, a pencil sharpener with a shape of cow! But there's none available with the extra small cow, huhuhu.. so I think I'm gonna wait for Gramedia's next sale, ahahaha..

Since lately I like drawing so I think it's better to buy myself something that is useful for my (temporary) "hobby" so I bought the pencil colours with more variation cause I only got about 12 colours and the sales lady even showed me the certificate of that pencil colour when I asked her which pencil colour was the best one, wakakakakak..

And I also bought acrylic colour set, huahahahaha.. it's a crazy dream of mine for one day I wish to be able to make my own "characters" that I can use for the illustration of the (children) stories I make ;)

*at times my hand just couldn't draw the image I got in my head, huahahaha :p*

And going to Gramedia's sale without buying some books felt like you ain't going there yet, ahahaha.. so I bought some books for myself.

Here they are..

stories about pirate, mice and children.. hmm.. perfectoo!

"The Mysterious Benedict Society" by Trenton Lee Stewart (the English version is cheaper than the translation! I wonder whyy.. *hmm*)

"Scarlet Silver : Swashbuckle School" by Sarah McConnell & Lucy Coutenay - it's about pirate, seems like interesting :D

Anddd.. "Tumtum & Nutmeg" by Emily Bearn.. I first saw this book in another branch of Gramedia in South Jakarta and since it's kinda costly and I know I'm more of the type who like buying and keeping to read (much) later, so I think it's much more wiser if I only buy books when it's discounted, ahahaha..

But I've fallen in love with this book since the first time I saw it, from the cover until the illustrations inside.. soo beautiful! And it's interesting to see the world in mice's perspective, ahahaha.. it's always intriguing to see things from the unusual ways, don't you think? ;)

So I was soo soo happy when I saw among the other imported books, woohoo.. There are actually 3 books from this series, but I think I need to hold myself a bit and wait for another Gramedia's sale to buy the other series :p

La la laa.. Merry (early) Christmas, Indah, hope you like the things that I bought especially for you.. thank you for keeping up with me all these times *hugs*

My Personal Verses

"Dia Tuhan, biarlah diperbuatNya apa yang dipandangNya baik." (1 Samuel 3:18)

Sekalipun pohon ara tidak berbunga, pohon anggur tidak berbuah, hasil pohon zaitun mengecewakan, sekalipun ladang-ladang tidak menghasilkan bahan makanan, kambing domba terhalau dari kurungan, dan tidak ada lembu sapi dalam kandang, namun aku akan bersorak-sorai di dalam Tuhan, beria-ria di dalam Allah yang menyelamatkan aku. Allah Tuhanku itu kekuatanku : Ia membuat kakiku seperti kaki rusa, Ia membiarkan aku berjejak di bukit-bukitku. (Habakuk 3:17-19)

Sesungguhnya, tangan Tuhan tidak kurang panjang untuk menyelamatkan, dan pendengaran-Nya tidak kurang tajam untuk mendengar, tetapi yang merupakan pemisah antara kamu dan Allahmu ialah segala kejahatanmu, dan yang membuat Dia menyembunyikan diri terhadap kamu, sehingga Ia tidak mendengar, ialah segala dosamu. (Yesaya 59:1-2)

Sebab rancangan-Ku bukanlah rancanganmu, dan jalanmu bukanlah jalan-Ku, demikianlah Firman Tuhan. Seperti tingginya langit dari bumi, demikianlah tingginya jalan-Ku dari jalanmu dan rancangan-Ku dari rancanganmu. Sebab seperti hujan dan salju turun dari langit dan tidak kembali ke situ, melainkan mengairi bumi, membuatnya subur dan menumbuhkan tumbuh-tumbuhan, memberikan benih kepada penabur dan roti kepada orang yang mau makan, demikianlah firman-Ku yang keluar dari mulut-Ku: ia tidak akan kembali kepada-Ku dengan sia-sia, tetapi ia akan melaksanakan apa yang Kukehendaki, dan akan berhasil dalam apa yang Kusuruhkan kepadanya. (Yesaya 55:8-11)

Orang-orang yang menabur dengan mencucurkan air mata, akan menuai dengan bersorak-sorai. Orang yang berjalan maju dengan menangis sambil menabur benih, pasti pulang dengan sorak-sorai sambil membawa berkas-berkasnya. (Mazmur 126:5-6)

Kita tahu sekarang, bahwa Allah turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi mereka yang mengasihi Dia, yaitu bagi mereka yang terpanggil sesuai dengan rencana Allah. (Roma 8:28)

Tuhan tidak lalai menepati janji-Nya, sekalipun ada orang yang menganggapnya sebagai kelalaian, tetapi Ia sabar terhadap kamu, karena Ia menghendaki supaya jangan ada yang binasa, melainkan supaya semua orang berbalik dan bertobat. (2 Petrus 3:9)

Hati mengenal kepedihannya sendiri, dan orang lain tidak dapat turut merasakan kesenangannya. (Amsal 14:10)

Segala tulisan yang diilhamkan Allah memang bermanfaat untuk mengajar, untuk menyatakan kesalahan, untuk memperbaiki kelakuan dan untuk mendidik orang dalam kebenaran. (2 Timotius 3:16)

Ketahuilah, bahwa Tuhan telah memilih bagi-Nya seorang yang dikasihi-Nya; Tuhan mendengarkan, apabila aku berseru kepada-Nya. (Mazmur 4:4)

Sebab sebelum lidahku mengeluarkan perkataan, sesungguhnya semuanya telah Kauketahui, ya Tuhan. (Mazmur 139:4)

"Sebab kepada-Mu, ya Tuhan, aku berharap; Engkaulah yang akan menjawab, ya Tuhan, Allahku." (Mazmur 38:16)

Pada hari aku berseru, Engkaupun menjawab aku; Engkau menambahkan kekuatan dalam jiwaku. (Mazmur 138:3)

Mengapa engkau tertekan, hai jiwaku, dan gelisah di dalam diriku? Berharaplah kepada Allah! Sebab aku akan bersyukur lagi kepada-Nya, penolongku dan Allahku! (Mazmur 42:6)

Tuhan akan meyelesaikannya bagiku! Ya Tuhan, kasih setia-Mu untuk selama-lamanya; janganlah Kautinggalkan perbuatan tangan-Mu! (Mazmur 138:8)

Pengharapan itu adalah sauh yang kuat dan aman bagi jiwa kita, yang dilabuhkan sampai ke belakang tabir. (Ibrani 6:19)

"Ya Allah, janganlah jauh dari padaku! Allahku, segeralah menolong aku! (Mazmur 71:12)

Bukankah telah Kuperintahkan kepadamu : kuatkan dan teguhkanlah hatimu? Janganlah kecut dan tawar hati, sebab Tuhan, Allahmu, menyertai engkau, ke manapun engkau pergi." (Yosua 1:9)

Tetapi berfirmanlah Tuhan kepada Samuel, "Janganlah pandang parasnya atau perawakan yang tinggi, sebab Aku telah menolaknya. Bukan yang dilihat manusia yang dilihat Allah; manusia melihat apa yang di depan mata, tetapi Tuhan melihat hati." (1 Samuel 16:7)

Aku, Tuhan, yang menyelidiki hati, yang menguji batin, untuk memberi balasan kepada setiap orang setimpal dengan tingkah langkahnya, setimpal dengan hasil perbuatannya." (Yeremia 17:10)
