Like father like daughter


There’s an adage says “like father like son” but in my case it should be “like father like daughter” :p

Yesterday was the 15th May 2011, one of the lovely days of my life. Why? Coz it was my dad’s birthday. I used to be the first one who greeted him happy birthday every year and for being the first, i always got a present from him (money) lol...

However, thing was different yesterday. i did not greet him first. Maybe one of the reason is that i’m too embarrassed if he finally gives me money for being the first. Hahaha, i’m already 22 going to 23, it would be embarrassing coz what should be is that i give him a present. Actually the main reason is that it was on Sunday and as usual i was almost late to church that’s why i did not greet him as my dad always wakes up earlier.  So this year my sister Monna was the first one who greeted him happy birthday.

Forget about who is the first and lets switch to the adage “like father like daughter”. I don't know whether it’s just my assumption but what i feel is that i am truly his daughter (of course i am). It’s not because of our genetic similarities but more about the way we live our lives. I have encountered the most similar thing between us and it’s all about our dreams. We both have big dreams and have big passion to reach the dreams. Yeah, some of my friends say that i’m too optimistic in living my dream. It’s true coz i’m my father’s daughter. My dad is the one who has big dreams and also the most energetic man who’s gonna work hard to reach his dream. There is no exhaustion in his life. No wonder as his daughter i inherit his life spirit.

The other similar thing that people say is “less talk”. I don't think we’re the same at this personality but most people say like that. Sometimes i think that i am more talk active and it makes me quite similar to my mom. Nevertheless many times i also find my self contemplate anything rather than say it loudly. At this point I might agree if they say i’m a typical of my father. I love pouring down my feeling into written words and my father loves keeping it in his heart or maybe he’ll share it with my mom. That’s the way my father lives his life. He’s silent and calm while my mom is talk active, and me----I am the combination of them for those who really know me— hahaha :D

Frankly, those similarities i’ve mentioned are just the other words of my desire to be a typical of him. in fact, i’m too proud to be his daughter.

in the end, i lift up a prayer for him from my grateful heart, taken  from Psalm 128:4-6:
“ Behold! So shall the man be blessed who fears the LORD.
The LORD shall bless my father out of Zion; and he shall see the good of Jerusalem all the days of his life.
 Yea, he shall see the sons of his sons. Peace [be] on Israel. Amen”

    this is a really heartwarming post-- :( are you much closer to your father than your mother??

    :) "less talk"? Regarding that-- I don't know just yet what type of a person Haniva is.. lol.. are you the loud type of a person?? or are you the laconic type?? :3


    Don't feel embarrassed to do what you were used to.. Sometimes parents esp. fathers most of the time tries to keep a memory of us as in a way that's child like... Sometimes they are not comfortable knowing that we already have boyfriends and mature stuff.. :)



    I truly hope I was as close as you are with your father... :)

    Jen: i'm close to both of them..we have a very peculiar relationship that none understands. we trust and support one another. i love my dad for the way he loves me and trusts me. i love my mom coz she's a good friend to talk with coz she's very talk active though many times i choose to keep it all as a secret of mine.
    i think i'm a silent one and yes could be laconic. i dont talk much, only to those who have been so close to me i can talk much.

    oh ya..i forgot Amir Khan's name in that movie and mentioned wrong name. lol..but that's a worth seeing movie..very inspiring!!!

If "Hot Blooded Woman" was made into a Drama"

"Hot Blooded Woman" Well, I just finished reading a manhwa (Korean manga) that has really stolen all my attention. i ever read it some years ago when i just entered university. Recently i have been curious again with this manhwa so i decided to download it. this manhwa is very amusing.. i bet ypu will laugh loudly like a crazy one and forget all the pain when you read this story.. so just try! After reading, a crazy idea came to my mind; what if this manhwa was made into a drama, who would star it? so, here is my own consideration who is more suitable to play the characters of "Hot blooded woman"; 1. the main character Park Sin Uoo would be very perfect for Lee Min Hoo. i ever thought of Kim Hyun Joong but later i made up my mind as Kim Hyun Joong would be better playing as an angel.. yup, he's not suitable for being Sin Uoo.. :)   2. Kang Ha Ji would be suitable for Moon Geun Young. I felt kinda difficult to find a korean actress for Ha Ji as this gi

When God says 'Not Yet' (again)

 Surrender.. this is the only word that best describes my feeling today. The disappointment might have taken place yesterday but today God has turned it into surrender. I got a new email yesterday from the New Zealand embassy telling me that my scholarship application was not accepted yet. Here's the mail... Dear Haniva, Thank you for your recent application for a scholarship and interest in undertaking post-graduate studies in New Zealand. Although the number of scholarship places for Indonesia has increased, so have the number of applications, and it was challenging for us to have to select only a limited number of these from many often strong applications. In making the selection and shortlisting potential candidates for the scholarship, we had to ensure that a number of criteria which have been set by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) were fully met.  Unfortunately, there were many applications, including yours, that did not fu

Easter (7 words on the cross)

Today the Christians all over the world celebrate the most important day of our faith story ever after. Why i say it’s the most important  day? Coz i cannot imagine if Christ did not substitute me and you, we can surely know where we’re going today.. “ETERNAL DEATH” i can say it for sure... Praise God MY LORD did it for me, for you and all of us not when we know HIM yet when we were in the darkness..when we were still captivated by this world, HE came and sacrificed HIS LIFE just to set me and you free. So, in this remarkable day i wanna share a little bit what i’ve learnt during the 7 weeks of passion until today. The great lessons i learn are from the 7 words of Jesus on the cross and the greatest redemption He did on the cross. The seven words on the cross I would never ever imagine if i were in Christ position, hanging on the cross, tortured, got mocked by the rulers, what would be the best words i say if i were hanging on the cross? I know for sure, cursing... however The BIB
