Love God's Work
Related to country: Indonesia


What a bright day. Yeah, finally I finished my job for this week to be an evaluator of one NGO program. After all, I have enough sleep. I guess I have to do something worthy, kind of meditation for all things happen in 2009, even I'm still waiting, another great work that would be given by God.
2009, I named as the year of calling. Oh, what a great Job, God have done in my life. Firstly, I want to talk about my first experience in USA. What a perfect plan ( don't be boring to thank God). Harmony ( Padi is singing) I love that song. Kind of great wishful. Great song ( even they said that this is imitation). I love it.

First of all, I wold like to thank my dear sister, for her admirable personality. K Pipino my dear sister. The one who shape me to be right now. More manageable. Hehehehee.Miss U very much kak..I really miss u and our concert turn in bedroom. Hahahaha…
Back to the track, went abroad to USA and release all good things that had been mine, is not easy. I bet my achievement for about 3 years and chance to shake Mr. Gumilar hand.. Hehehehe..one of my dream is to meet and shake the head of university's hand… ( looks like very naïve. ( dream of a teenager).., become the best graduate and then finally I have to release scholarship that can make me survive for 1 month without any supply from my mother.

Yeah. I really come out from my safety position. One thing that make me keep going and go a head is support form my great academic advisor. Hem..hem..Thanks Bu santi.

Meet many friends, make friendship in there, broaden my point of view, are a view thing that I learn. And of course, I got new family, IELSP and Oregonians. Hahhahahaha….
I got two more dads.. Papi Zaky and Daddy Andy, 2 new moms ( mami Pingkan n mami Ira, oh sorry , it must be 3 , mba Yuli our Brown mommy..hehehe..and many sisters and brothers there…..
I love them all…

I almost spent my first 3 month without any activities. But I love it. I enjoyed treating my self with all things I wanted. Join seminar, write article, what else, I forget. Hehehehe…
And then in May I started to learn Germany, ( talking about Germany is as same as talking about my dream when I was a kid). Several years ago, when I was 4-5 years old, my parent had a friend from Germany, Mr. Michael. Hehehhe…on the special day, he would treat us by free lunch…hahahhaa..Just information, my mom is really interested in English. She is very good in daily conversation. ( sometimes I ashamed with her confidence in speaking )…hhahaha..but yeah confident is really my mom…
And then, once a while, my father told me that one of his friend is an nuclear engineer and work in Germany ( but that man passed away almost 10 years ago).
Dream about going to Germany made me convince my self to be a nuclear engineer also. ( You know if I remember my dream when I was a little kid, I will laugh and laugh)

In the middle of May, I applied for joining community development in Miangas. Thanks God. I was accepted. You know.. I almost lost the chance. After passed the first selection. I had to watch my friend who was sick at hospital for about 1 day whole. I didn't get call from the committee to join interview session. At 4.30 pm, I got a call from a new number that actually I guessed from Directory.
Yeah…Edit..do you still run for joining Comdev? Sorry, I never resigned or changes my will Sir, replied I. Do u want to attend interview session. It would be over at 5.00 pm. Dangit..I didn't know anything about it? oh sorry…we are still waiting for you. I got Directory Building at 5.00 and met Cantika, one of my friend, who had same story with me. Thanks God.
How happy I am? I really love the moment of brain storming with my friends. Those are really smart. Full of smart idea. I recorded many names like Devi, Eko, Gamal, Patty, Aufa. Those are really smart. Yeah. Thanks for the chance to meet them. A brilliant idea is only come from a dedicated heart. I truly believe it.
I love the way we construct our idea and transform in a program. The way we think deeply about what kind of program will be conducted, what is the target, what should be prepare,bla bla..until the sustainability of our program.

1 week there I felt completely like a University student. I can't believe that people there really put HOPE on our shoulder. I can say that they truly believe that we can solve their problem They state all their expectation, their problem. I remember 1 day, a man from one of the family that I visited ask me help to contact one of chief in Jakarta to ask about his position and job desk…( I forget about that position).
Conducting health education for elderly people, pregnant women, school age children, doing assessment to pre school and infant. I love to do that. And of course conducting our group program, personal care for women and children.

Dewi Kusumaningsih, one friend of mine who has inspired me with her beautiful heart. Thank u for showing us the true. Actually, You have been a very good for me since you give me chance to take one big job in General election of Student Council Leader. That job opened my mind that being apathetic is not the way to solve problem. You have to be involved. Good luck for your Clinical Practice Honey…

After Miangas, there's a lot miracle I got, chance to join international seminar in FKM, and FE ( to be honest, free lunch is one of my target actually). And then, one night 17 Nov'09..at 9.30 pm while celebrating Winda's birthday party, I got call agin from De Kus. Via, lagi kosong nggak, ye dapat rezeki, jadi asisten lab. You know that job is not about laboratory assistant but also became technical editor in Indonesian Nursing Journal. I love that… Love it Love it…because I love everything about research…. Research…I love that..

Then I got call during FE research day, I was accepted to be a volunteer in Research project in Nias. Love it…Reseacrh again…Thanks God..for letting me know… may be researcher in community health nursing area is my future career..hhahahhaha

1 week in Nias, full of great experience, 2 hour from Jakarta to Medan, and then continue by minibus 8 hours to Sibolga, and 5 hours by speed boat…I came to Nias. Conducting qualitative, in depth interview. Love it. very amazing. I felt like truly researcher when I have to take 2,5 hours to get my respondent to be interviewed, passed the hill and valley, beach and mountain ( hahahahha berle) I love it…I enjoyed doing that..
