what have i lost today?
- the precious tool as my primary means of living and earning staple of food, my iBook
- passport
- return airplane ticket
- hundreds of dollars
- a jacket bought with the companion of rio and bowo
- haruki mirakami's kafka on the shore
- john irving's my movie business
- my small notebook containing my written ideas
- my mp3 player
- stack of name cards belong to some highly respected and reputable people
in short, a defining part of my life has gone, or rather, been taken away.
but let's check what i have gained today:
good, comforting, assuring words from friends, in both countries.
numerous supportive messages and calls that gave me a good reason to let my teardrops flowing hard.
an unexpected karaoke session.
my understanding parents.
prayers.
wishes.
twinnie, the greatest one can be.
in short, i'm still feeling truly blessed to know that i can succeed walking through this demeaning line safely.
and happily.
i'm truly the richest man in the world.

Hah? What is it, your luggage was stolen?
See, lil bro'?
Bajingan itu bisa maling tas elo, tapi gak akan pernah bisa ngambil temen2 dan keluarga elo dari elo ;)
Be tough lil bro', jangan kalah oleh hidup ;)
hugs,
Teteh
wah sedih banget.. turut berdukacita atas hilangnya laptop plus segalamacem laennya. gimana kejadiannya???
Waduuuuh...
baru beberapa hari di jakarta udah kecopetan ya?... nasibmu Pal :(
Di jakarta emang harus curiga dulu ama orang asing. inilah jakarta, welcome to the jungle :|
Tapi masih banyak hal lain yang bisa disyukuri kan?... good :)
Pal,*berkaca-kaca*
aku nggak bisa komen apa2. bersyukur kamu masih dikelilingi oleh kawan2.
Udah diceritain langsung dari sumber terpercaya disertai isak tangis. Moga2 semua balik dalam bentuk lebih baik n ditambah bonusnya.
Yang sabar ya, dek... Jangan pernah brenti berdoa.
OMG? That's ur whole life? Ok, I don't literally mean "ur whole life", but... but u know what I mean.
I'm sorry to hear that, Val.
Gosh, I'm really speechless. But u, hang in there. Be good.
I believe in what people call as 'blessing in disguised' ... And of course, your loss is another form of the disguise, trust God, the blessings will come soon. Hang in there.
kekayaan hati lah yang tak kan pernah hilang dan tak ada yg bisa mengambilnya darimu...
Sabar ya Val, walau bagaimana selalu ada hikmah yang bisa diambil.
Barang, uang, dll itu juga cepat atau lambat akan rusak atau habis, nah pas aja ini diambil sekaligus. Sesudah kesulitan akan ada kemudahan, so.. nothing to loose okay, jangan kalah di ronde2 awal, bangkit dan tegakkan kepala :-)
Tetap semangat!
ilang?? kok bisa?
padahal gue pengen baca banget 'kafka on the shore' hehe
Mantra ampuh, sakti mandra guna:
Terkutuklah ia yg tega nyolong darimu dan panuan plus kudisanlah ia 7 turunan....
*hugs*
MPAL,
*speechless*
*hugs*
VAL, too bad inul didn't have that HUNG UP single from Madonna for I would have hustled for you, huehuehue....
F*&^ those who dare to disgrace the house of GOD and took something that doesn't belong to you! Have you no fear? Have you no shame?
*from a guy who lost his fifth avenue moccasin one day after bought with his saving at a mosque, 12 years ago*
You're not alone, Pal;).
Damn! My grammar is terrible:D.
my dearest blogging friends,
i can't thank you enough for your support here. in fact, i am sobbing with little tears as i'm typing these very words, for i'm grateful for your presence here. i thank you from my heart, truly.
LENJE,
it wasn't my luggage though, for i wouldn't be able to bring a luggage to a prayer house in the first place :)
TEH MELA,

A GIRL,
of course life's more than that, yet if a part of it is taken with force, it is painful, i guess.

ANRI,

RIO,
i do wish that the thief would stumble upon this blog and read that horrifying words (grammatically) of yours, then he'll know :)
We really should, Val ... Don't forget to count all the little blessings you've got then you won't stop being thankful to Him. :-)
