We started with a simple hello. So i will make our goodbye as simple as possible. I’ve been blogging since 2012 when I was in junior high school. There was nothing but I just wanted to say and share what was on my mind properly. As time goes by, we’re grow and grow, and life isn’t just between school and study. You realized that you have to build your social life in order to learn from many perspective and life runs hectically. That’s why I no longer able to consistently update my blog (the last time I updated was last year), ahh so sorry. Well, here we are and it’s going to be an end. Thank you blog for being my space where I can share my thoughts. But actually It’s not a "goodbye", it’s a "see you later". Lets start our new hello in my steller account, dianputeria or you can go to my instagram account with the same username. Ah, if you dont have steller, I already put my steller link on my instagram bio. So see you later there peeps!
Simple Things, Big Dreams

Surprise!
Dear May,
I just need one word to desccribe this-bitter-sweet-month. WOW. Wait, let me get more oxygen. Honestly, it’s little bit hard to write. But for me, writing is one of the best self-healing. May. Ah you give me a lot pf surprises eventhough this month isn’t my birthday. I thought I could imagine how much it would hurt, but I was wrong. All the things that running in my head are about holiday, happiness, togetherness. But in an instant, everything changed. Those things turned out to be sadness, loss, darkness.
Sometimes I just still can’t believe he’s gone. You know that our last goodbye was never said. I wanted to see him again to say goodbye with the way that I wanted. Then I realised if I got my way, I would never say goodbye. But I got it now. I haven’t simply lost him at one point in time. I’ve lost his presence in every aspect of my life. The best way that I can suggest to all the people is never waste a moment, it may be the last with someone you love. If we remember everyday that we could lose someone at any moment, we could love them more fiercely and freely and without fear (not because there is nothing to lose), because everything can always be lost.
Love the people that Allah send to your life, because He will absolutely bring them back one day. Mostly, it’s loss which teaches us about the worth of things and sometimes that moment hits me out of nowhere all of sudden. This overwhelming sadness rushes me. I’ve learned this along my journey, letting go doesn’t mean loving less. He fought so hard to stay, but when I saw him sleeping peacefully free from pain, I couldn’t wish him back to sufffer again. It’s much better to think of him as resting from the sorrows and the tears in a place of warmth and comfort.
Indeed, Allah never breaks his promises. Even it’s been written twice in Quran. Verily, along with hardships, there is ease. In the middle of the month I made a courageous decision. Am I afraid? I really am. It’s natural because courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid, courage mean you don’t let fear stop you. Sure there is a lot of hesitation at first. But in my hesitation, I found my answer.
It’s kind of blessing having someone who can handle you at your worst. It’s so priceless. No no no, it’s not about fancy things and surprises. What makes it more priceless is having deep conversation with the right people. Life can be equally easy and complicated at the same time. This is why a single phrase that talks about our lives can a sparks the thought or even push us to make decisions we’d never imagine before. They make me throw off the bowliness, sail away from the safe harbor, and catch the trade winds in my sails. So I decided to join the election of Surabaya tourism ambassador called Cak&Ning Surabaya. And the result is....
So what’s next? Well, I have a project for one year project. Of course, I can’t do it by myself, I ask my friends to join and their answer is “I am definitely in.” Ah so excited! And you guys may start to wonder, what kind of project that I will make? Just keep in touch with my blog okay? Hahahaha.
Finally, it comes to an end. I keep telling my self that Allah always has His best plan. Either losing or having something, I can guarantee both of those will make a better version of us if we can learn.

The Five W
You know that some things are hard to write about. After something happens to you, you go write it down and either you over dramatize it or underplay it, exaggerate the wrong parts or ignore the important ones. At any rate, you never write it quite the way you want to. I thought it was me now? Hahahaha.
I just feel like I want to write it down, so if someday there’s something bad happen to me, I can re-read my blog and find that there are so many things that I should thank for. I think we like to complicate things when it really quite simple. People tend to think that happiness is a faraway, something complicated and hard to get. Yet, we can do the little things that would make it up, like going to somewhere with your friend, having people who would like to give their time to you no matter how busy they are, helping someone to get her achievement, and talking with person who has passion in their life and you can see it clearly by looking in their eyes, that kind of things absolutely can make you happy. Even happiest person in the world (ugh, sorry, this is what I called over dramatize part lol wkwk).
The best things in life don’t happen unless you take risks. Risk yourself and throw your heart out onto the table. Let yourself try something new. Lucky me, I have best f riend who always encourage me. She always say “take it nde, take it.”. In the middle of February, I was invited to be a speaker in a talk show. That was my first time and I felt a little bit nervous. But the best part was, I could share with inspiring people, who have a passion in their life, who have a principle, who have a plan on how to reach their goals. I love this kind of people, they’re not only talked, but their eyes spoke. And surprisingly, my friend came to the talk show. But I just saw her from the stage, because the moment after that, she said that she had another thing to do.
The next day, I went to Semarang for 4 days with my college friend and it’s about 7 girls there hahaha. We’d to get up early as the train would leave Surabaya at 6 am. Anyway, that was my first time using train since the last 15 years omg:’). We explore Semarang by ourselves. Yes, we rent a car. Alhamdulillah, we have someone who good at driving hahaha. She was like a mother to us wkwkwk.
Ngg, I just realized that I’ve written almost 500 words so I’ll tell you just the point for some stories. I have 1,5 months for holiday, but sadly I just met them like once or twice:’) But it’s okay I still have time to spend with them. And in the end of February, my hijab stylist asked me to join such a makeup contest on the town. That was all of sudden. And over again, my best friend encouraged me to take this. I’m not a runway model. That was my first time doing this thing. And surprisingly again, we got the first place hahahaha. Alhamdulillah I could help her.
The best part that I wanna tell you is, I found some people around me, people that matter the most to me, they’ve prepared something for my birthday hahaha. Start with my college friend, in the middle of the night when I was sleep, someone asked me to accompanied her to the bathroom, and when we're going back to the bedroom and.... Voila! That was a scenario hahahaha. And after I came back to Surabaya, I planned to go out on Sunday with someone. Instead of going to the mall, we're going to a coffee shop. It was rainy out there. Heavy rains. So we decided to go home. But when we've arrived there’s my friend’s car, and my mom told me to go to my room, and....surprise! These people have prepared this scenario hahaha but little bit failed wkwkwk. And the last, when I was waiting for the announcement of the makeup contest. These annoying guys (but I love them so much!) tried to make me wait but they failed hahaha. It doesn’t matter whether their plan is success or not, but their willingness to give me something that I can’t buy, their time, that matters the most.
Finally, after this looooong story, I learned that there are five W’s of life :
1. Who you are is what makes you special. Do not change for anyone unless the change will make you a better person.
2. What lies ahead will always be a mystery. Do not be afraid to explore.
3. When life pushes you over, push back harder.
4. Where there are choices to make, make the one you won’t regret.
5. Why things happen will never be certain. Take it in stride and move forward.
Don’t save things for a special occasion, because every day of your life is a special occasion. I’m glad I have them in my life:)
