How To Make Tincan Lantern

Tin cans (any size)
Tin opener
Hammer
Nail (you can use different sizes)
Water
Washing-up liquid
Freezer
Pencil
Lantern light

 

 

How long will it take?

Five minutes, wait 24 hours, then another five minutes

What to do

1. Collect some empty tin cans.
2. Clean out the cans. For ones that held oil, wipe out the grease before you wash them. Remove the labels.
3. Fill the can with water and place the can upright in a freezer overnight.
4. Remove the can from the freezer the next day. The frozen water will help the can keep its shape. Without it, the can will dent easily.
5. Mark a pattern on the side of the can with a pencil.
6. Use a hammer and nail to puncture through the outline of your shape with small gaps between each hole.
7. Leave the ice to melt in the can (if in a hurry, use hot water to melt it). Tip out the water and dry the can.
8. Add a lantern candle.

9. Place lantern on a heatproof surface (eg, cement, stone or a dish). You can use the lanterns inside or out, but do be careful because the tin can get hot.

What Is Your New Year's Resolutions?

For me..The next year to come will be a happy year.  Wishing to God, that He will open a way for me to make a business, concentrating and focusing my life to Myself and Darren.  I will forget to have a new relationship for awhile..I guess I need time for myself, rebuild myself to be independent, get my goal on my dreams, have fun with my hobbies, and try to focus on raising my son.  I will try to make rules for darren, focusing on make times for his and my own needs.

I think we need to keep optimistic.  I realized that life is like this..shocking but we can go through it.  And we know that nothing is really bad, because we get used to it, and we can survive.

My motto is..never surrender with life.  I will not gonna be defeated by it.  I challange it..i'll show the world that i will make it.  When we follow this life day by day..I believe we have nothing to worry about.  cos everything will be fine.  God is the provider, so I believe..He will be my super parents.  Who protect me, support, and keeping me from harm.

Could be happiness for a whole year? I believe we have not 100percent happiness for a whole year.  Sometimes a problem occured, and we hit by the sadness.  But, we all know that every problems has their own way to solve.  So..just accept it the way it is with a big heart and patient.  I don't want to see the dark all the way..but waiting with patient that it will solve soon.. so no need to be sad or down too long.  Because the sun will always shines again.

This morning my son brought me some pretty, small flowers that he collected from the outside of our yard.  So I put them in small champagne glass and put it in my room.

 

 

Where Do We Go From Here

By. Vanessa Williams

Life can be strange,

somethings we forget

Or rearrange in time, lose the past

Tell me the truth, tell me how can I know

That this new love of ours,

that its gonna last

I need your strength and I feel your worth

With you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear

You erase the fear in me,

that keeps me alone

Where do we go from here I know

No matter what the road,

your love will lead me home

What's in a name, his life just a game

We color then erase (we've been erased),

when we lose face

How many lives, tell me how many tries

Before we get it right (before we get it right),

the truth is inside

I need your strength and I feel your worth

With you I feel protected from all harm

Where do we go from here it's clear

You erase the fear in me, that keeps me alone

Where do we go from here I know

No matter what the road,

your love will lead me home

When I never weak, so weak

To scared to speak

When I never low, so low

To tell me, you will never need

Where do we go from here it's clear

You erase the fear in me,

that keeps me alone

Where do we go from here I know

No matter what the road,

your love will lead me home

No matter what the road,

your love will lead me home

A Little Dream about Wedding Gown

Sometimes I wonder what kind of gown that i'll choose to wear on my wedding someday..I like something simple, feminin, lady, fairy looklike gown.  I don't like to wear a bridal with big balloon and tube that's everybody seems to wear on their wedding. But, I found some of the examples that will be an inspiring wedding dress for me..

 

 

Lesson I

Don't trust a drunk guy!

We want to believe that when someone's drunk what he said that coming from his mouth are coming from an honest feeling he cannot share when he's sobber.  But that is really a crap!  I have this mistakes by trying to accept a "drunken" words from my ex husband when he was proposing me.  yeah..he proposed me on the phone and i didn't knew that time that he was drunk.  So even we married for four years..I just realized, that he didn't actually love me.  He proposed me accidently.  That is my first mistake.  

And this happen again last time, with my exboyfriend..He was drunk when he said he wants to be serious with me..but then, he seems to forget he ever mentioned it to me lol..omg..yes I know, you may think i'm just a fool girl.  But, I took lesson now...so, I just want to remind all ladies who love a men, please..don't listen to his drunk bla..bla..bla..because it means nothing.

Positive..

Positive..positive..positive..that is the only way for us to get a happy life and health.  I know sometimes your mind is dragging to the other way, where its all about question "why", self pitiness, unhappiness of something that is missing.  It's just so easy to change or click the bad thoughts  from your mind.  When your thoughts in your head starts to questions the word "why", "what's wrong with me"..just switch that thoughts into positive and cheer yourself up.  Know that all negative thoughts can create bad energy and destroy your health.

This is a reminder for me, again..and again..because I want to be healthy mind, body, and spirit.  This is how I handle my life.  Life cannot defeat me.  I'm the only power that defeat it!  Nothing can bring me down! noone else can!  I'm the master..I create my life..even this life is harsh.  I will chalange the world..I point at them..no matter what they do to me, they can never bring me down..

Taken my son a walk and play..

Though my body is not really good today, I went with him anyway..I feel pity on him because he is not having a vacation yet.  Next time I'll take him swimming and visiting the zoo.

I hope he's happy today..

Look he's being naughty:-)

I imagine got so many tomatoes and chillies in my yard.  Not bad for kitchen supplies..

Report Day on Darren's school

Today it's his report day..where there are Entertaintment and small bazaar in his school.  I made Bake potatoes and Niggerball cookies.  Though I sold only Five potatoes today..it was really a fun day for us.  And I'm so proud that Darren's report is well enough.  Too bad I didn't bring the camera to capture this moment, 

 this is his first perform in the stage:)

 He looks happy:-)

All the parents seems to came complete with mother and father, while darren is only have me..without his father presence.  But he seems doesn't care..

It Is Hard To Turn your Back To Someone You Love and Care

I feel that I should move on again..My heart tells me, to step away slowly from the men I love so much.  I realized that he doesn't love me.  Women intuitions never lies..

If I don't feel loved from him, there s no use for me to wait.  No matter what he said..about the promised he used to say.  Love supposed to be happy..supposed to be understanding, spending time bonding..I felt being left out alone.  When he probably happy with someone new.  There is nothing I could do about it.

I don't know how to get his love back.  since he never invited my ym again. what is the point i wasted my time to sit here waiting till he add me back.  He wants me to forget about him.  So, let him go..

He doesn't have to say it..he knew I'm not stupid.  So here I am alone again in this new year's eve..just like another new years behind.  No one is going to call me..Happy New Year sweetheart..I love you..I will be coming soon wait for me..If i add his ym again, I m scared he might ignore it.  

Maybe this is the sign from God, He wants me to follow His other plan..So, He told me to step away from him for good.  I believe..good guy is a represented God it self.  He is caring, attentive, protective, supportive, sweet, and loyal.  So, I feel none of this about him.  Only doubts and lonely.

I have nothing to loose..I want him to step up and do his job if he love me.  I thought about how to get his love when other women trying to get him..I thought that I have to stay calm, and stay leaning back.  Hoping that he will be back to me someday.  Thought I can win his heart by being open to him when his giving me attention.  Thought that this is life, Where so many women out there, pretty and looking for a men.  But should I do anything to catch a men's heart? I don't think so..Love comes naturally.  If he likes..he will get it.  I know he likes me, but for him I just not his perfect match.  We both were the opposite attract.  only for awhile not forever.

I learn that I'm the one who controls every relationship I've been involved with.  You take him or leave him.  If he only want to play around then leave.  You're not looking for playing friends.  I look for serious relationship that ends up marriage.

Waiting for my perfect soulmate to come to find me..

Favorite Quote of the Day..

What I Can Learn From This Relationship With Him

Am I unreachable? Am I too stubborn or cocky? or weird? What I can learn from him, is that..I have to be myself, dare to open my heart and sharing who I am with someone.  He ever tell me to trust someone new.  To gain my self esteem that he believe I am formidable.  He ever told me, "you have no confidence with any men, do you think you will ever make it with someone new?" 

Well I know he is right, but then..is it true nobody will understand me and accept me for who i am? with all the insecurity? If he knows who I am with all the bad past I have, should he try to understand and embrace me with love and compasion? 

I know I am not sharing my daily life to him too much, cos I learn from relationship books that as a women we don't have to share our daily activities too much, but I learn now that it creates bond between two persons. That is why someone ever called me superficial, cos I never try to open myself, never talking about who I really am.  I waited for him to asked me..I want him to find out, to dig me..who ginggi is.  Every person have their own personality, there are women who are open, extrovert, lively.  While I'm a person who is introvert, quiet, and shy. So..I need the men who likes me, is the one who leads the way to get to know me.  He should be the one who swim down to the bottom of the sea to find the real me.  Like Edward on Twillight, who always asks and try to know bella. 

I also put all the eggs in one basket, means that I put too much hope and my heart too early.  When I supposed to be easy and relax, enjoy to get to know him much more before I'm sure how he felt about me.  But I think I did what I supposed to do.  Until he said that he wants to have a serious relationship with me.  I don't know..maybe this is my fault number 5 that, I should have asked him with a clear statement what he trying to say and what is the real meaning behind it.  Not just accept it 100 percent and believe in what he said, but trying to find out more about it.

It is difficult to have long distance relationship where you love this guy, but you cannot touch him or to see his blue eyes. Cannot see his real expressions..is full with doubtness, jealousy, and questions about who he really is.  So I guess, the problems is not in me..but because we are so different.  So far..though maybe we like each other.  But it just seems too difficult to continue unless he really make this come true by coming to Indonesia to meet me in person. I love him..but, he is the one who have to make the decitions if he wants me and think that im worth to keep.  Nobody is perfect..I accept him the way he is, and I expected that he can accept me too.  

But all of this, I still admired him..he is a hard working men, he's an honest men, A good friend, Sensitive, and shy.  Though sometimes cool, ignorance, and sarcastics. 

Will He Reply My Mail?

I made a decition to wrote him an email yesterday, asking him how he's doing..At first I wasn't sure I want to send it to him.  I have a confusion between missing him and rejection.  What if he doesn't reply? if he's forgotten me intentionly? what if he s thinking i'm stubborn..so I wrote first draft in french, but my finger cannot even dare to click the "send" button.  Then I decided to saved it, in case i changed my mood to send it later.  Ok I tried to forgot about that plan.  I was thinking..why would I have to do this? He is the one who have to find me..not me..

all the angel and devil are in war in my mind to find whether i should send it or not with good or bad calculations.  Then I tried to changed the draft in english also the subject.  But once again, I failed..

Today I read the horoscope telling their fortune to make a contact with "someone special" cos it said will have a good respons more than i can imagine.  I thought..hmm..ok then maybe it is time for me to send the mail, so without any doubt I send it.  I wasn't dare to open my email a whole day today, cos I don't want to be sad if there is no respons from him.  But I have to open it somehow, and no replied yet..):

Ahh..why do I have to do this? my friend encourage me to email him, and told me that if he doesn't respon I don't have to be ashamed at all.  But now, I felt so ashamed? I feel embarrased to myself.  Who doesn't feel ashamed of being rejected?

I tried to follow my intuitions, but i'm confused which is my intuition and which is my mind?  the other part saying i miss him and wants to know about him, and the other part is denial, saying that i shouldn't do the work but him.  It was like a battle between ego and desire.  

As a lady theoriticaly, books and wise people says that women should be choosen, so that means that I shouldn't do much work to get a men's attentions.  But all this time, He is the one who do the chase..but time goes by and people changed, so did he..He's began to cold, ignorance..and I felt left out.  So, instinctively..I begin to work..I don't know if it s true or not.  I have a high self proudness, that I learn from my grandma..she told me not to ask a men..she told me to let the men do the work by his own will.  So, I thought if this guy, wasnt do much for me, that means he s not that into me!  but..he said he wants to be serious with me?

I think I got the point now..I should forget about him! I should ignored what he said..he just a bullshit.

I'm not sure he will come to Indonesia just what he "promised"  If he is the men of honour, he will come as he promised me.  That is his job..he promised..I'm curious if his mom ever taught him about honoring his "words".

What can he do for me? He said he was busy working to get money to come..ok i tried to trust him.  I hope he's really a good guy just like he said.  Oh come on Ginggi..he just playing with you! so stop thinking about him and move on!

Ok I will..God please give me a clue! and strength if I have to go on..Amieen..

Love At The First Sight

I saw his picture tagged from his friend on facebook, when I take a look at it..my gosh..my heart was pounding so fast..He's smile, the way he looks..oh so sexy.  I looked at it for sometimes, looking at his expression.  Again..I don't know why everytime I look at him, .....I cannot describe how I feel about him.  Is this called love?  I felt embarrasing at myself, thinking that..this person..could he be in love with me? an asian woman who have a child and is an ignorance woman he knew.  A weird woman, who is simple and low social degree.  Un glamour like woman he used to hang around with.  Do you think he will love you back ginggi?

Yes that is why I hold this up in my heart.  He knows I love him..but he doesn't know the depth of my feelings because I just holding it inside.  I waited for him to make a move on me.  But sometimes he ignore me.  I know that he might not have that special feelings for me.

My heart really hurts right now..hurts that i cannot have what I want.  Because everytime I fall in love, I'm in love with a person who doesn't have the same feelings for me.  

Me and him just like water and oil..came from a very different life.  He is popular while I'm just an ordinary women, single parent.  He surrounded with beautiful glamour girls, while i'm a loner.  Who am I to love him who such an amazing men for me.  Though he might not a typical good guy, he's a party boy..but he is a sensitive men, he trusted me, he is a strong person with a dark past.  His sensitivity makes me fall in love with him.  I'm a jelouse woman, how can I be happy with this popular guy if he always focusing on his own life and social life?  Though I know, this is only a platonic kind of love, I know I cannot forget about him, because no matter what..we shared something deep before.  We are best friend.  

Though we re not together again, he will always be a friend of mind..

Love you CP..

Why Negativity Is really A Strong Things in Our Life?

Taken my son to school made me a little bit cheer today, since the morning i woke up..I found myself feel sad.  I don't know where that come from.  I fed my son taken him to shower with this bitter feelings inside that I felt so lonely.  I was thinking of my relationship with the men I love which is stuck and seems going down the hill to crash.  I felt confused and frustrated, I felt unloved and also thinking if I was in a foolish game.  I feel like I'm really stupid because I don't know how to get his love and attention..and most of all his attractions.  I did what I think I should, by telling him how I felt.  

But it seems useless..Now, My feelings is more and more become negative.  I open my account on facebook, and found out that my ranking of being a nice person is going down.  I know maybe you think, I'm over sensitive to this stupid applications..but I thought that..hey..what's going on here? Did I get a low vote from my friends? are they don't like me anymore? but why?  That kind of thought is bothering me this morning, and I keep doing what I have to do.  When I went to Darren's school suddenly I asked myself.."why do I feeling this way?"  "Do I need a help from anyone?" Why people seems to hate me now? 

Why people is trying to hurt me? Then I can feel that my body begin to stiff.  I can feel my heart is building a wall..no..i cannot be like this i thought myself.  Ginggi you should open your heart, forgive them..ahh but it's seems so hard.

The story is not over there, this evening i read my ex bf who i have a cold war now..wrote in her wall about how lucky she was and wishing ppl that bad to her happiness..i feel so sick..how can she said that while she's the one who is bad to people? that is so disguisting!  Well..let see until when she can laugh at someone else fall?  I don't like to feel this way actually but..I have to switch this negativity again..oh it is soo hard to be positive.  

I need to calm myself down right now..I should not wasted my energy on small problems like this.  It is only a small tiny trial..I will be okay soon..

So Grateful to God..

So grateful that my son is healthy..while my friend's kids are sick and have to stay at the hospital.  I should not complain about this life that i have now.  So many people out there are stuck with poverty, illness and other problems in their life.  Thank you God, for blessing me today with happiness, calmness, healthyness and love.

The Power of Healing is Love..

I don't know how to tell this in science cos i'm not a scientist, but I have seen some cases that happen to divorced women.  The woman I have knew that they facing a divorced sometimes becoming unhealthy and getting worse and worse till they died.  I have also a divorced women, I know how difficult it is to be a single parent, living alone and strugling as the only life support.  Sometimes whether she realized it or not she can be stressfull with the burden that she carried away in her shoulder.  

She can feel so lonely, and desperately need affections that she can't have anymore.  So the high depression she take, were influence to their body also.  She didn't aware that her stress can be bad for their imunity.  As the stress taken away their life and hope..soon, their body became weaker.  Perhaps she doesn't care anymore about how she looks or her nutrience she eats everyday.  She become fat and risking her body into a dangerous disease like heart failure, diabetes etc.  If she continue her life with negativity and cannot handle the unlucky situations with faith to the higher level (God) then, it will be worse and worse for her that can cause to the death.  

The only way to survived these kind of unlucky situation in your life, is to heal yourself with love and respect to your ownself.  Loving your body and soul..is the only way for you to keep you alive.  And the important thing is to have faith in God, that He have the better plan for your life.  You can fail or you can be succeed through this trial.  If you fail that means your life is ended because of the negativity and self pityness.  And that is not good.  You are born to have responsibility to survived in this world.  You responsibility to yourself and to God, that you will taking care You as human in anykind of situations.  

There will always love to all of us..that love can heal you and someone else who need it.  So why don't you get the love as your medicine.  Your child's love, your family, or friends..or even a stranger that you don't know.  Love the animal, the plants..the earth..trust me I know it feels good to share love..eventhough without a partner.

Love love love..love yourself..

The world is a mean place..

It feels awful when you're lonely..you found out that the world is a mean place to lived.  Everybody seems to be so busy with their own agenda..they are there when they need our help and support, but they left when we called for help or when we need their supports.  But this is life..I remember one quote says..A person who seek beauty sometimes walk alone.  I always being nice to people, I don't like to hurt someone else feelings..but they don't like me? they think i'm superficial..they thought i'm complicated and weird? am I too much expectations to others?  Mother told me..why you care so much on how people think about you? why do i need someone else approval? why can't I just be myself?

I don't know..perhaps too much people hurt me, stab me in the back..but Mom told me to learn how to forgive.  I know this is something that is not easy to learn..but i will try.  I wish I know from where to start?

I eat ice durian..mmmhh miam..miam..it was really good to indulge myself with it.  Just enjoying my free time.after french class this afternoon.  I am so grateful for today..because I have money to buy things i like.  And still healthy also.  Plus I am also grateful for God's bless for protecting my son and make him a happy healthy boy.

Thank you God..what I regret today was not taking five times prayers fully.  I'm sorry God..I will catching up tomorrow. I bought two books and a glass deco today.  This books are how to make someone in love with you and how to keep it last.  So I hope this book is a way to open my eyes and help me finding my true love.
