Mostly Paulo taught me to never stop dreaming big, not to be afraid to pursue my dream and always listen to my heart and believe with what Allah decides for me :) http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/reviews/item/35 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 04:30:12 -0000 They..ease my sorrow Tadinya siih mau ikutan lomba 17an di Blogfam, tapi karena things've been so hectic these days, jadinya kelewatan deh mau daftar dan posting foto.

Nina Frost would.. so she did: shot the man she thought was molesting her 5 year old son. When you killed for someone you love so dear, would you still be hold responsible for what you did? Jodi did it again in Perfect Match, with her brilliant way of writings and her unbelievable ending..I still really enjoy this book although most of the time I find myself really agitated with the story, nervous trickled my body..afraid the ending wasn't the one I wanted. But, it did. Thanks God! Thanks Jodi.. Love Youuuu http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/reviews/item/34 Sat, 16 Aug 2008 15:46:58 -0000 Me today These days.. I stop arguing.. I stop pressing to get what I want.. I avoid confrontations.. Pasrah?? not really... Just too tired to argue.. to tired to get head to head.. http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/journal/item/202/Me_today Sat, 16 Aug 2008 01:01:01 -0000 Missing mom Call me selfish..ignorant..mommy's child..whatever, but I just miss my mom. “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride; so I love you because I know no other way.” I promise myself, no more tears. But last night when discussing food, I asked my oldest sister: "do you know how to make mangoe chilli like mom makes." A moment after saying that, I felt like I wanna burst into tears. I kept picturing her walking healthily, cooking, waking up every night to pray.. do you know that if you keep on picturing something/someone..if you picture them hard enough..it might have come true? http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/journal/item/201/Missing_mom Tue, 12 Aug 2008 13:46:03 -0000 The Tenth Circle I think what makes The Tenth Circle unique is the comics illustration in the books. It's unique because as we all know Jodi is always brings up serious issues in her writings, so by including these comics things..in a way, she shows us that even a serious novel can be lighten up. The issue in the book though, for me is very serious one. When reading this book I feel shivers all the time all over my body. I am so pitied the parents and her daughter. I cannot decide whether the faults laid in the parents or Tricie? Sorry, but I still think The Tenth Circle is better than http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/reviews/item/33 Tue, 12 Aug 2008 03:52:40 -0000 Jo March and Me <img class="alignleft" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3085/2748921284_f3f5790a89_m.jpg" border="0">One of the reasons I love watching Little Women is because I feel so much connection with Jo Marc (Winona Ryder), specially in the part when she embraced her little sister saying: "don't go too far away, I can't bear losing another sister." As me and my family under went tough situation involving our mom recently..I feel the same way. Little Women taugh me a lot about how a family is the one you can always count on no matter how you resent your sister/brother sometime. Like Jo, just looking at my sisters/brother..I know, insyaAllah like Jo March, we can get through this sadness.(Amiiin) http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/journal/item/200/Jo_March_and_Me Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:48:47 -0000 My Sister's Keeper I have to say..I really engrossed by this book. My heart really goes to the family. Although I'm not yet finished reading it..I feel so mesmerized with the story. Specially after reading 4 other of her books (The Pact, Nineteen Minutes, Mercy and The Tenth Circle), which dealing with rapes and murders..I think I need a break from those kind of issues. And I feel relieved knowing Jodi Picoult touched a different kind of issues in My Sister's Keeper. (I practically drop other books in my TBR as I was curious about this book) http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/reviews/item/32 Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:31:57 -0000 The last time I keep thinking about the last time The last time I saw her talking animatedly with me.. The last time  I hear her laughter.. The last time I saw her eating together with us in the table.. The last time we went out.. The last time she looked at me, conciously.. The last time we slept side by side.. The last time I ate her cookings.. I keep thinking about the last time, and knowing deep down inside I still am wishing there will be next time (InsyaAllah Amiiin). http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/journal/item/199/The_last_time Sun, 10 Aug 2008 04:11:42 -0000 Mohon doa ya teman-teman.

Begitu juga dengan Book Ray, Yaya tau itu baca buku dengan sistem meneruskan ke orang yang berikutnya dan yang terakhir megang buku itu harus mengembalikan ke yang punya buku itu. Sooooo..Imagine my surprised waktu ada yang ngereject Yaya ikutan di Book Raynya dia. Oke gak masalahlaah dia nolak, tapi alasannya itu lhooo.

Hari Sabtunya seperti biasa acara ngumpul di rumah Mbak Evi Muchlis.Setiap bulan emang ada pengkajian Quran di sana, jadi Ustadznya membahas ayat demi ayat. Subhanallaah beliau hapal banget lho setiap ayatnya. Beliau juga lancar sekali menjelaskan hubungan setiap ayat-ayat itu. Hari Sabtunya, dari pagi di rumah udah mulai heboh dengan bersih-bersih rumah, bantuin mbak cuci piring, bantuin mama masak (mbak dan kaka sih kalo yang ini) dan sibuk foto-foto juga, hehhe.

Kalau mau ikutan nyumbang boleh lhoo." (ini tulus ngajakin lho, without pressure). Rata-rata niih pada jawab dengan antusias "Mau..mau...nyumbang kemana? acaranya kapan?" Guess what... sampai acara H gak kedengaran kabarnya lagi. Kadaaang bahkan acara udah selesai kapan tau, baru nanya: "Mbak, mau nyumbang acara baksos ke rekening mana yaa?" Sorry to say: "Eloe basi banget deeeh!" Bandingin kalo liat jualan online, wuiiih itu cepet banget ngetekinnya (via pm). Ada yang langsung telpon malah nanya no.rekening penjual. Contoh 2: "Sayyy, di rumah mau ada acara pengajian niiih. Ada makan-makannya juga." (padahal udah disertai dengan embel-embel makan-makan lhoo), tapi survey membuktikan 5 orang dari yang diundang: 1 jawab InsyaAllah.. 1 jawab oke (hmmm yang ini maksudnya gak ngerti sebenarnya apa)... 3 orang gak jawab sama sekali, hehe.<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/teeth.png"> Bandin... http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/journal/item/195/Refleksi_Senin_-_Freedom_of_speech_ Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:13:12 -0000 Bookcrossing asyik juga ^__^ Yaya merambah ke <a href="http://bookcrossing.com">Bookcrossing</a> niiih.

The question is, how much?" This is the second Jodi Picoult's book that I read. I must say, the question asked above is the most intriguing part of the book. It kind a makes you thinking..whether loving someone means willing to do anything for that someone in any consequences? Mercy tells the story about Jamie and Maggie, a husband and wife who truly loves each other and meant for each other. Maybe because of that love, Maggie knew when her body simply couldn't take the cancer anymore..she asked Jamie to put her out of the misery. Jamie was convicted of a preattemted murder and was being tried for Murder in First Degree. Well, I think the plot is quite common actually..even how Jodi put the ending is too obvious. However, the way she wrote Mercy despite of the too well known plot (about euthanasia) is stil poetic and brought so many after thoughts for us the readers. If I have to compare Mercy with The Pact and Nineteen Minutes, Mercy is written withou... http://yayajanuary.multiply.com/reviews/item/31 Fri, 18 Jul 2008 07:00:58 -0000 My Collections I read all books once, but there are some book that I cannot bear to part with.

Peter, who underwent bullying from the minute he stepped in kindergarten until his time in high school, woke up in one day and decided enough is enough. He went to his school carrying 2 guns determined end it all once for all. I must say, the book really caught me in the heart.

Misalnya, basa-basi menjawab pertanyaan saudara yang lebih tua. Yaaa itu mah haruslah yaa. Kalau gak mau dibilang gak sopan. Ini aja gue belajarnya sejak ikutan ngumpul-ngumpul sebulan sekali di rumah sodara. Dari basa-basi hal kecil aja, kayak nanya kesehatan..nanya kabar, bla bla gitu deeh. Kalau mau jujur, gue gak gak inget semua nama sodara sih.<img src="http://images.multiply.com/common/smiles/wink.png"> Basa-basi dengan orang/kenalan baru masih wajar.
