Awesome Sunday

I don't know what I was doing the whole night after finished our work, but gosh, its 2.30 am already now. But I gotta admitted my Sunday was such really delicious as I had yummy food the whole time. Thank YOU LORD for delicious Sunday and my tummy is just happily served. Woke up in the morning with not so happy mood or more like "losing myself at dreamy's world" but ended the day with "i had such a great food and great quick nap" ha-ha-ha! 

This birthday party we captured today served the best food, seriously yummy! Their pasta Bolognese is how I like them to be made then followed with so yummy Salmon Puff and Steak! I'm pretty confident for whatever important occasion(s), we would be having, we would love to use this catering to serve our client's tummy! I didn't try the other menu but not much Indonesian catering can make a yummy western food for sure! Then, afterwards, we continued to visit our client's house for the project review and she served another yummy food! she made a very crispy and delicious fish cake, fresh chrysanthemum tea, good Padang food, and cookies too! How not happy my tummy is? great food enlighten my day like always. Thank you so much for the appreciation and GOD Bless each of you abundantly :)

Another thing I'm very thankful about this Sunday is being given so much tips for business. And even ourselves couldn't wait to take that ONE WEEK off to upgrade ourself into better. I mean, there are just  lots of things we need to change based on our own evaluations. And i know it doesn't take a day or two to just get things done especially when we want not just to be better but to be excellent too. It takes so much efforts for the new beginning to achieve our 2013's vision.

Nothing much to talk about my weekends but I'm very thankful the precious time. I miss those moments where weekends are so fully occupied with works that even we had to do "double" shift but I guess that time is so near. Hectic working schedules with everyday photo-shoots apart from Monday as I always include as my holiday is what I (we) love to be doing #Aamin.

And oh! in this Sunday, I skipped my work too! I'm quite lazy to do some work so decided to just watching this Chinese movie series called " Chinese Detective" and I finished it. Got back home, fallen asleep so nicely and then woke up lost in my own world, not sure what to do :p!

February Obituaries

Your happiest day is someone else's worst nightmare. The day where you were being so thankful and needed the amazing LORD in your life is the day where some people's felt the pains HE gives through the heaviest test in their life.

In this February, I went to obituary twice but those Sunday and Wednesday were such happy days for me but not for my friend and my family from dad's side. My happiest days were some families nightmares and how could I hid my happiness from those people when you could see how happy my face was.

I remembered that Sunday when my friend's mom died instantly, I had a very late sleep (4am) but somehow, I woke up after 4 hours and suddenly I wrote this on my FB status " I need GOD in every moment in my daily life even when I'm sleeping. I need HIM to guide, protect and calm me; even when I'm having a quick nap, I want HIM to give me peace. I need HIM even when I've my food so I can enjoy the food HE gives me even it may not delicious. I need HIS blessings every morning so my day will ended with tons of happiness and appreciations. I need HIM, HIS Blessings, HIS Grace because when I live life according to HIM and surrender in HIS plans, I'm living in Glorious Life" 

Had no idea why I wanted to write that but I felt so, then I was just busy continuing my works until I took a quick look at my BB and read one of friend's status " Be Strong Ven" and I wonder what went wrong. Venny's mom passed away just like that without a sign or anything. She went to church in the morning and felt a pain so went back home and goodbye. wow! I heard the story and my eyes gone weary, how shocking it must had been for her family even it shook me too. I didn't know how it felt for Venny and her brother and sister but I understood if they became bizarre. And there was I, saw what happened to me few years back happened to Venny but of course, I knew how to overcome those. The truth, I didn't know what GOD wanted to tell me, to make me see many things on that day but this time, i felt so much better. I felt like lucky and blessed that I'm healed and while I was helping other to heal, there was Mr. Grumpy waiting outside for me even he was so bored. He has always made me feel thankful so much about life!

And a week after Chinese New Year, in the 17th, we had to bid goodbye to my uncle who happened to be my dad's nephew. When he came to my house (since my dad is the oldest), he was so different than the last time I saw (like few months before). He became so skinny, unable to walk and talk properly. I had no idea why, but somehow I knew, he would passed away. The truth, it was really weird for me to see his daughters came from Australia RANDOMLY! They never came back for several years neither came to my house for Chinese New Year celebration but this time they did. And when I saw them, I knew, this is such a weird chinese new year but I ignored. They only came for a week or less and 2 days after they arrived in Australia, their father died. I wasn't his favorite nephew neither we had lots of talks (ever) except Hi, Bye, How are you but without any strong bond, I knew he would begone soon.

Monday morning, mom told me about the bad news but it didn't surprise me at all as if I knew it would happened. But his two daughters were still shocked, disbelief in what my aunty and uncle told them. One thing I said that I never forget few years back when he was 60 (or 61) where I predicted stuff. I said to one of my aunty who asked me to predict my uncle and I said "He won't live that long. If he could made it 65 then he was lucky" and he did make it pass 65 but died when he was 66! so I guess, my prediction wasn't that bad and I will never forget that. NO I didn't curse him, it was just i saw through him and my heart said so and I told what I felt. Yes, yes, I used to predict bunch of things and they happened but the past 2 years I quit them and living life by surrendering in LORD JESUS has been amazing and make me feel so blessed.

My parents, especially my dad, i wish he understood on how much he is so blessed by HIM. Often he said "I want to die, I want to die" instead of being thankful as he's a lot healthier than ever. I know he was really sad knowing he is officially 84 now and his nephew died at the age of 66. My dad is stronger, happier and look a lot younger than two of his nephews. and I'm really thankful to the LORD for that, to give him healthier body although I wish he can be more active so his whole organ won't be rusty LOL! while for mom, she is really super blessed, very healthy and mentally strong for her age even she's very short-temper (like me), over protective (as I'm the only child), and can't be my best friend. But I know she is a great woman! who have done more than I ever imagined, fought for her beliefs and although quite snobby but she has a good heart. She is very stubborn and hard to compromise but despite of that, she's a very smart lady and I pray and hope, very soon, we will be her provider and giving her happiness more than she believes she deserves. I pray that my mom will be happier, healthier, luckier, and wealthier at any moments and we can give her every little things she wants in life and making her proud of our big achievements #please help us LORD #Aamiin HE Grants! :-)

Now, looking back at these two events also have made me realize that I should had given my heart more peace and listen to what they say carefully without an anger/ego. I had no idea why I wrote that at the day when my friend's mom died and felt that my uncle wouldn't lived long after the Chinese new year. I have abandoned in trusting my heart for almost 2 years now or more ever since I trusted Grumpy's more than mine. His prediction is even better than mine especially when he doesn't like someone. But now, I guess, this is the time for me to listen the whisper of my heart genuinely and pushing away my anger slowly or even get rid of it instantly if I could.

Random Post

I still remember the reason of why I started to write a blog is to keep practicing myself to be a good writer by beating my laziness as hard as I could. Nonetheless, I failed as now, there are few travelling post, I haven't posted yet, some movie reviews and those gloomy days I forgot to share. I'm not sure who are following my blogs or which friends of mine come and by but I'm so sorry, I should had been able to manage my time more wisely. Once again , I am so sorry for abandoned for a while especially for almost one month or so, I'm married with Photoshop and it's commands throughout most of the hours in a day. I do love editing but somehow, it bore me to death to keep editing the same client and seeing the same faces. 

Anyway, in this Saturday, I have finished another client out of several others which are pending. I know I don't feel so professional and would like to apologize so deeply but anyway, I'm trying to keep up, speed up my editing as much as I can even sometimes I'm lack of sleeping. Nothing much to write because I just feel like to post some client images which I recently edited and finished. Here are some random photos and for more awesome photos can be seen through my facebook's page : www.facebook.com/lilsunshinephotography

Fini & Bluey !

Hello everyone, let's introduce our new friends (mine) : Fini and Bluey as the presents from Mr. Gwumpieh. He gave me Fini first then after few days we brought Bluey but the truth, I already fall in love with Fini right from the first sight. Fini and Bluey is so opposite to each other which either they are totally opposite or Bluey isn't yet feel comfortable with me. Fini loves attentions and to be photographed while Bluey is super coward and hiding when I talk with him. 

Fini is really active, finished his food in less than few minutes and he gets super excited whenever he sees me. While Bluey takes forever to finish his food, hates dark and don't like me around. Both of them is just completely different and opposite as you can see through these photos. Nothing much to say but, they really entertained me a lot especially whenever I'm talking with Fini. I remembered, when the first day I've Fini, I got so worried that he will be starving, how to take care of him, but having him around comforts me in a way. The first meeting with Bluey, he was so eager for a fight but I kept yelling "fini don't, fini don't" and he just moved away while Bluey just hide LOL but now I guess after I told him "not to fight, not to fight", he stops fighting even when Bluey starts to! 

But sometimes, I know I'm being unfair to Bluey like didn't talk with him as much as I talk with Fini but he scares, so I don't know what to do. If i put my finger in the window, he would back off unlike Fini. Fini would be searching for my finger and try to kiss even :)

MOVIE REVIEW : the Last Stand & Race 2

What a movie and it's totally beyond my expectation. I heard about his latest movie, wanted to watch but haven't really pay attention enough towards the trailer. Was randomly checked the cinema's website and found it THE LAST STAND is out already and Grumpy was too eager to watch. I didn't expect anything much toward this movie but I ended up loving it. The movie went quite slow but as it got into the middle where the chasing were more thrilling, the movie becomes quite entertaining. One time movie for me for me but it's not because I didn't like it but its more like I won't be bother watching twice, that's all. I like, love but not favorite, that's how I supposed to describe. I'm sure lots of people are looking forward to watch him back in actions (even i do) but I guess for the "full coming back" welcoming performance, he did great. IMDB gives a high rank for 7.2 and as for me, I give it 8.5/10. Yeah, see, how much I really adore the movie :)

Basically, the LAST STAND is a very simple story about chasing the number one King of drug named Cortez, who got escaped before got transferred to his new prison. His plan is to get into Mexico by building bridge from Summerton Junction. Well, FBI couldn't stopped Cortez with his spectacular car runs in 200MPH until they contacted the local's sheriff at Summerton which of course Sheriff Owens, Arnold Schwarzenegger, in charged. No more telling you, better just watch because this movie has NO twisted story and I don't want to spoil anything.

The movie is really entertaining, full well-packed of actions and of course some jokes in between. I've to say the storyline is quite usual and Forest Whitaker is totally crap in this movie; something is just not right in his performance, moreover he doesn't fit for the role. The actions are thumbs up, totally enjoyed a lot not too brutal I guess (not in my eyes :p)! Some random jokes to lighten the movie done by Luis Guzman. My opinion about Mr. Arnold's performance and that's "Cool Grandpa back in action!" As you know he is quite expressionless but this cool attitude and rough face with not much dialogue is what made this kind of movie suits him. The way he talks and everything is just like when he was at Terminator. I mean no offense but I'm pretty sure you'll be getting the same kind of impression after you see the last few scenes when he fights alone ha-ha-ha-ha! Cool Grandpa with Awesome Actions and Full of Awesome Gun Toys ha-haha-ha!

The Gwumpieh PRE-WED?

okay! before, I published the photos from our quick gateway sometimes the next few days, I decided to uploaded our photos first which were taken by our traveller friends and editing by myself. Bromo is so beautiful and so does its surroundings. With a random touch of my editing, I guess I've made the area look like the ones in Europe or somewhere in western country. Those who didn't know thought these photos are our PRE-WED and taken in overseas. NO! This is not our pre-wed although yeah, it's totally look like ones. Love the place, love the photos and thank you so much girls for taking our pictures! The only thing I can say is that, Indonesia is beautiful but it's depending upon us on how much we want to discover its beauty. Cheaper in expenses of course but we have those beauty. As for us, Bromo is like a different new world and so not Indonesia. The weather and its beauty make us feel as if we are somewhere in Europe! And the last photo is my most favorite ones, as it's totally dreamy and captured the moment! Well done to Ika/Rini who took the picture :D! 

Movie Review : Hansel and Gretel , Les Miserables, Now is Good

It's great to be able to catch the latest movies especially after the messy flood attacks. We sneaked out in our hectic hours and especially, its been a while since we went for movie date. So yeah, watching two movies in a week is more than enough entertainment for us. Time to concentrate work and rushing them more. We watched these movies in different day but I felt like write everything under one name. 

------------------------------------

"Look down, look down, don't look them in the eye! Look down, look down, you're here until you die!" a song that you'll heard from the first scene that will definitely take your breath away. It isn't just the song but the expressions, the awesome performances and of course the cinematography too. Finally, we watched Les Misérables and it was such right decision for me but not-so-right for Mr. Gwumpieh. Right from the first scene, the movie has taken my heart and full attentions away. I was actually looking forward to see this movie knowing there are two of my favorite actors : Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe and some others amazing actresses and actors too. I know you would be expecting much more of the movie once you saw the trailer especially "more actions" instead talks but this movie is beyond my expectation. The way they made it and the actors and actresses performances made it perfect! They chose the right people for the right movie which is rare to find nowadays. I ranked them 9.5/10 and I do aware it's musical movie but what I didn't except it's music all-the-way until the end.  Sad enough that lots of people were getting bored when they watched this 3 hours movie and I could heard some of them yawned. Even Mr. Gwumpieh was too bored and acting silly throughout the movie. He likes it but not loves it and definitely not as he expected despite it's awesomely produced. I do expected lots of actions but I couldn't take my eyes off from the screen, it's really grabbed my full attentions.

So we were supposed to watch Jack Reacher but once I saw Hansel and Gretel : The witch Hunter is out, I ditched Jack Reacher. I'm not huge fans of Tom Cruise neither I like his movie apart from Mission Impossible so yeah, let's see my new favorite actor who's totally dashing : Jeremy Renner. The story, I don't need to tell much right? Witch hunter and Hansel and Gretel, we know their tale anyway. So brother and sister becomes the witch hunters ever since they killed a witch for the first time, burnt into fire. Okay, if you see their relationship; it's more like lover instead of brother and sister. Somehow it senses like that in my eyes! Gretel was shown as so powerful woman at first, but later, she seemed to be very weak. The first 20 minutes will made you think this movie is so gonna be awesome but somehow, it's too monotone, bore you at the end. 

Of course for almost an hour I found it cool with unstoppable actions but I know, I won't be loving this movie as much as I wanted to. There's something missing since the first scene and that's the movie's flow is really fast. Super fast, you may called it that made this movie become so ordinary; just another slaughter movies. It have left no impression for me, just really an ordinary movie. I understand the actions, the brutalities and slaughters are the ones they concentrate the most to pump up the viewers' adrenaline but for me, it's more than that. It's really fast in changing scenes and made the movie look quite a mess. IMO, if you aren't too eager, wait until DVD. DVD is enough knowing it's ONE TIME watch movie and buying DVD do more wonder. Overall, It's good but not great and I rated 6.5/10. It's more like ONE time movie only and DVD shall do the wonder I guess. Nothing wow and this is my two cents. The actions are totally good, but the movie has no twist in it nor some highlight scenes. Definitely looking forward for the sequel which I know I'm going to watch though!
