Up and Down

Life is not about up and down, but also about how we can thankful when we're up and how we can survive when we're down.

Mission Possible

Just because her Mom a.k.a my sister unconsciously drop her at my home for college in the early morning, she kept crying out loud when she realized that Mom was not around. I gave up (to the max) to make her stop crying.. Then I tried to rolled her hair and it AMAZINGLY worked! She's laughing all the time when she caught her new hair appearance in front of the mirror! >.<

Tutug Rengginang

Feeling bored of TO (Tutug Oncom) rice? You can taste another kind of original Tasikmalaya food. It's Tutug Rengginang (TR). Nothing different from TO, TR is also a kind of mixed rice. Here's the picture:

So, where you can find the TR rice and friends? It's right on Kampung Tasik Restaurant on Yudanegara st Tasikmalaya City (beside Santika Hotel). 

By the way, when I visited Kampung Tasik, I had an inspiring conversation with the Owner, Mrs. Ilma. She talked about her experience in building her culinary business a week ago. About more than 10 years, she was an employee and worked for a company engaged in financing activities. The company paid her a very big salary as she occupied one of the top positions. It's more than enough for the cost of living in Tasik. As time goes by, she thought that her life was not balance. Deadline and target haunted her everyday. Today's task had not finished, another tasks came. She sometimes skipped prayer because of her business. That's what happened everyday, every week, every month, every year....

A month ago, she decided to stop that crazy working hours and start her culinary business. No more big salary and a car as company inventory. She's now fully independent. Get up in the morning, then she's heading to market driving motorcar by herself. No make up, no white collar outfit, no diplomatic talks. But she's very very enjoy her job today. 

"Mau sampai kapan kita mencari materi terus? Sementara karena terlalu sibuk mencari itu, sholat seringkali terbengkalai. Ditambah beban moral, deadline, dan target yang setiap bulan meningkat bikin nggak nahan. Saya lebih senang dan tenang bekerja seperti ini. Meski pendapatan belum stabil, tapi saya yakin rezeki dari Allah tersebar di muka bumi. Hidup itu pilihan. Pilihan saya ini membuat hidup saya sekarang seimbang. (How long will we keep looking for money? While I'm too busy looking for it, I often skipped prayers. Moreover, moral burden, target, and deadline which keep increasing made me can't stand for it anymore. I'm happier and enjoy more doing culinary business. I haven't got a stable income indeed, but I do believe that all the fortunes are spread all over the world. Life is a choice. Mine makes my life is more balance.)" Mrs Ilma told me.

Nothing to Lose

Don't be afraid to lose anything as long as you put ALLAH in the highest position of your heart.
