For those who have watched the Movie "Train to Busan", Gong Yoo is the Lead Actor in that Good movie.
And now he came back with K-drama titled G O B L I N.
Why did i include this as my weekly positiveness? because this drama made me happy in the past week.
It's a story about a Soldier who is killed by his Jealous young King, which made his soul a wanderer Goblin for almost 1000 years. He was cursed to see all the people dear to him passed away while him not. The curse itself is a sword that was used to kill him. And as long as he still have this sword , his soul could not rest.
So, one day he helped a woman who was dying in a car accident and begged a mercy from The Deity for her stillborn child. So this Soldier helped her. And the child she bear later became a Goblin bride, this Goblin bride will help him by getting rid of the sword so he could rest. But they eventually fell in love...
Oh my God, as usual, this drama made me cried and heartbroken. I love it. The plot is amazing and the actors were also super. Not to mention the soundtrack.
Praise The Lord for all the Blessing that i have received. I am so much blessed i can't contain it. My dreams came true, my wishes been granted. My God is an Awesome God. Thank You Jesus!
I prayed to be married on 28th , and here i am, Married with the Man of my dream and live in Europe. Something that i was too afraid to dreamt of but it's been granted for me.
I wish that on 29th year of my life God will still be with me and my family and hope that i can be of much help for them in any way that i can. I hope that i will get a best job from God, best life, happiness and healthy for me and all my family.
I am ready for my wonderful future ahead.
Jeremiah 29:11
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the
LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope
and a future."
As i mentioned before for my 52 Weeks of Positiveness Life Inspirations, i am writing now about the Positive thing that happened in the Second Week of January 2017. Which is,
NEW INFO FOR W O R K
You might have already noticed from my previous blog post that i have been in a struggle looking for a work here in Hungary. The thing is , i feel like a ping pong from the workplace i applied to. At some point i got really disheartened by the situation. Honestly, preparing the paper for our wedding is a lot more easier than this.
I have never thought that it would be like this hard looking for a work, my husband is also feel very sad. He told me long before i came here that after married i would be able to work shortly. But yeah, one thing i learn from this situation is that "never put your hope on men, you will end up being disappointed, put your hope in God's hands instead."
So, in the Second week my husband asked the HR department about my papers and they told him that i have to submit the translation of my Diploma Certificate. And my mother in law went to Veszprem yesterday to the OFFI ( Hungarian Translation Office ). The translation will be done in 2 weeks, so i pray to God that everything will be OK and i will be able to work.
At least we have a progress though it's only a tiny little progress it is still a progress.
So i see this as a major positiveness i found in the second week of January.
It's hard to find something positive in your disappointment, But after spending 6 months here in Hungary, in a strange country in the middle of Europe, i have learnt to be more relaxed and let what happens, happens. Que sera sera.
I believe that this is a process that i have to overcome. This is the risk of taking a step forward and leaving behind all my comfort zones, where my work was so easy, my boss was wonderful and very kind, where my sallary was more than i could asked for, where my workplace was so wonderful i felt like i was in my university surrounded by all the friendly and cool people.
Those days are gone and now i am facing my real adventure, the thing that used to be only in my wildest dreams, now i am experiencing it.
It's not the best of it yet, but i believe that if i am being patient and live my life to the fullest and try to always be happy, everything will be worth it.
May God Bless us with an abundance of love again this year.
This year i have decided to do something Inspirational. ( i hope ), hahaha. I have decided to find something that would make me happy and stay positive throughout each week in 2017. Sure there were lot of things that made my eyebrow curly ( haha ), but i am determined to find something in it which i can be thankful. hehehhe.
So i am going to post 1 post each week dedicated special for this programme of mine which is "52 WEEKS OF POSITIVENESS IN 2017".
WEEK 1 : New Financial Plan.
I know that maybe for most of you this one is nothing inspirational, but rather , a number 1 thing to be done in every beginning of a new year. But to be honest, i have never done this before, and now that i am married, i and David think that this is something which is essential in a marriage. We wasn't sure at the first whether we would made it, because now i am still unemployeed and rely only on David's sallary which is not too good. But after a few Wingchun movements between each other, we have come to a deal that we will start it this month. This plan suposse to be started on next month ( January payment ), but we decided there is nothing wrong with starting it early.
I am sooooo excited and can't wait to start to manage my own household expense.
But here i am, in a tiny little speck on earth, the place called A J K A. A town with around 40.000 population in Hungary.
What does Christmas here feels like? It feels 90% different from Manado. One thing remain the same is the Ornamen.
Everything is new for me :
The Santa Chocolate which is nagyon nagyon finom ( very very delicious ),the kids would put their shoes on the 5th and in the morning they will find soo many chocolate inside.
The Cold wheather , sadly there was no snow :( . In Manado at this time it would be rain.
The Christmas Service which was attended by around 100 people on the Christmas Eve, but on the Christmas Day there was only around 30 people. And it was Communion Day!.
( I will talk about the Church Congregation here vs in Manado later )
The Food , which was Chicken Soup, Baked Pork, Baked Chicken rolled with Bacon and Egg, Potatos, Rice, Tart, Wine, Champagne and Palinka.
The Gift exchange, usually in Manado me and mom buy gifts only for the children, and we give money gift for my cousins. But here we give and receive gift from everyone in the family. We gave gifts for our cousins, Anya, Apa, Andi, Norby, Peter, Tina, Panka, Domonkos, Bogi, Kornel and DiddyMama. And me and David received gifts from them in return.
Here, Christmas feels like family quality time.
In Manado Christmas feels like everyone's quality time. We would visit our family, friends and neighbours. There will be Christmas carols everywhere from supermarket, boutique, mall, even inside public transportation. There is Santa Claus with it's car parade on the road between 5th to 10th of December , These Santa Claus will visit house of each kids ( by appointment by their parents ) to bring gifts. Along with the Zwarte Piet whose job is to teach the kids not to be naughty again.
There is a Santa Claus Carnival on the main road of Manado.
Everyhouse will make or order Christmas cookies.
There will be Christmas service from 24th - 26th December with tons of people. The most people attendance would be on 25th which the Church even had to put chairs on the road to cover space for the people. There will be choir singing, sometimes drama and performance on Christmas's Day service.
And the 25th, 26th of December and 1st of January would be the days where the neighbourhood kids would be suddenly rich. Because they would visit all of the houses in the neighbourhood, they will also visit their godfather and godmather and they will be given money as a Christmas gift. Often called "Ampao".
The Food in Christmas usually Brenebon Soup, Roasted Pork, Grilled fish, Baked fish with Pineaple and Sweet sauce, Saute Pork with sweet soya, Bitter Vegetable which was made by papaya leaves mixed with slow cooked pork, satay, sweet soya sauce chicken saute, Grilled Pork , Grilled Rice mixed with Oil and Ginger, Grilled Black Vegetable called "Pangi" mixed with Pork Fat and sometimes Pork's blood, all of these are grilled traditionaly inside a bamboo ), Pudding,Klappertaart, Cake, Coke, Fanta, Sprite, Beer and traditional drink like Palinka but in Manado is called "TjapTikoes" Translated literally as "RatStamp"
Overall i feel utterly blessed that this Christmas i have come to a new phase in my life which is being David's wife. I am very grateful to God for his endless blessing to us.
I really hope that next year i can spend my Christmas with my family in Manado.
