hello dearests♥

                  hello and good evening everybody, and hello and sunny afternoon greetings for those in jakarta. i'm currently doing my english homework and about to take my extra credit quizzes on accounting, but feeling extremely bored so i decided to write a new post in my blog =)
now i want to share what a charmed life i'm currently living right now, because the moment i think about the past and stepped back to my childhood days, nothing lasts but good memories that would always make me smile. to many people i want to give thanks because without them, a day won't be a day.
                  There are not many problems in my life, but I know God planned everything and He guided every step that i will take. I learned a lot of things from many people, and even a simple sentence from our friends and relatives can change our lives. These sayings motivate me until today.

Mami: "Kamu mesti berani ngomong enggak, berani ngomong apa yang kamu mau, biar ga di pandang rendah sama orang lain."
Papi: "Hidup itu jangan mau dibodohin orang, jangan mau di manfaatin orang lain, kamu ga boleh terlalu baik sama orang karna ga semua orang itu sebaik yang kamu kira."
Anti Lina: "Kamu mesti selalu pikirin masa depan kamu yah van, ga boleh ga peduli."
Popo: "Jadi cewe mesti bisa masak ya, Ni. BELAJAR, ntar lama-lama bisa kok."
Bas: "Van lo mesti nyanyi dengan hati, gak cuman nyanyi karna lo suka aja, karena kita bernyanyi bukan biar orang denger suara kita, tapi biar Tuhan Yesus liat seberapa kangennya kita dan inginnya kita menyembah Dia, soalnya lo punya talenta."
Mimi: "Vani you are the kindest but also the stupidest person I know in my life."
Bekoi: "Pum lu tuh bego! Makanya sering ga di respect sm orang! Gw sm Icel cape ngmg sama lu soalnya lu tuh keras kepala, ga mau dengerin gw sm Icel padahal buat kebaikan lu juga kan? Sometimes all you need to think about is just yourself, babe."
Ci Vanessa: The key to be blessed is being thankful =)
Ci Angel: "Van kamu tuh mesti belajar banyak tentang hidup, karna di luar sana, kita ga tau bakal hadapin apa aja. Kita sebagai cewe mesti kuat."
Andree: "Be kind to people because you are kind, don't be kind to people in order for them to treat you back in kindness."
Bu Sar: "Ci kalo skolah di luar sana mesti baik-baik yah, selalu inget Papi Mami sama Jovita."


              Although my life is not as perfect as others', or even close to, i've met many wonderful and kind-hearted people, and each of them represents different strengths in my heart. i don't really care how many years to take or how many months for me and these people's love and friendship to bond, but one thing i know, whatever happens, they've created a mark in my heart that i will cherish and treasure throughout my life. there are beginnings and endings, hi-hello-how-are-yous and goodbyes, but you'll never know whats gonna happened right? for every mistake a friend made, forgive and let go. every person deserves a second chance.

 dream, believe, and do it ♥

Family is the greatest gift.
Mami, Papi and Jovita,

         Mi, Pi, Sorry ya selama ini aku ga bisa jadi anak yang mami sama papi banggain setiap saat, aku yang lebih sering ngecewain dan bahkan ga pernah ngmg I Love You ke mami papi. Tapi sebenarnya aku sayang banget sama kalian. Studying and living apart here in the US i realised what a humongous role mami sama papi have in my life. In time i realized without you guys I'm not who I am today. Aku ga bisa ngomong langsung sama kalian, ga tau kenapa aku malu, aku cuman bisa ngmg five words, 5 simple words yang tiap kali kalo aku inget cuman bisa keluarin air mata dan menangis - Aku kangen mami sama papi. Aku pengen pulang dan ketemu kalian, tapi tiap kali pulang aku pasti nangis pas mau balik kesini lagi.

         Every single day passed, dan tiap hari aku makin sadar kalo keberadaan mami sama papi tuh penting banget. Mi, aku ga pernah cerita apa-apa ke mami, apapun masalah aku selalu aku pendem, tapi baru sekarang i realised that even if i never said anything you always know how I feel, selalu sadar kalo aku lagi kenapa-kenapa. Mami juga selalu maafin semua kesalahanku, ga pernah sekalipun biarinin bad things to even get near me. Mami yang selalu mau ajarin aku tentang pelajaran hidup tapi aku selalu ga mau dengerin. Iya, aku sebenarnya sayang bngt sama mami, tapi ga pernah pernah berani ngomong langsung. Kalo Papi, Papi tuh pribadi yang lucu dan super kocak. Papi orang pertama yang buka mata aku kalo ga semua laki-laki merokok itu jahat. Papi sumber kekuatanku setelah Yesus =) Papi juga selalu kasih barang apapun yang aku mau. Aku ga tau kenapa now suddenly I realized Papi sama Mami udah bener-bener baik banget sama aku. Aku ga pernah tau rasanya jdi anak papi mami yang lain, tapi aku tau aku gadis beruntung yang bisa punya parents kayak kalian. Papi yang selalu ngmg I Love You di akhir telpon, dan aku yang ga pernah sekalipun ngmg I Love You balik ke papi. Papi yang selalu manggil aku sama dede, yayangku. Papi yang selalu kasih uang jajan tanpa aku minta. Papi yang selalu beliin makanan kalo pulang kerja. Papi yang selalu beliin barang apapun yang aku mau, tapi ga pernah mau kalo mau aku beliin sesuatu. Papi yang bekerja tiap hari 2 jam pulang pergi, bahkan weekends. Papi yang nangis tiap hari pas 2 minggu di Amerika sebelum pulang ke Jakarta. Papi yang selalu pijitin dado dan garukin aku sebelum tidur. Papi yang selalu tanya mau makan dimana, dan ga pernah pilih tempat makan sendiri. 

          Buat Dado, do lu tuh ade gw yang super cuek, kerjanya di rumah terus main komputer lagi. Do lu tuh satu2nya saudara kandung gw. sebenarnya i juga super miss you. Dado lu yang selalu cium2 pipi gw dan bilang kalo gw tuh lucu. Lu yang beliin gw hadiah ulang taun super cute dan satu-satunya di dunia tapi gw ngaku ke lunya gw ga suka. Lu yang selalu malem2 pindah ke ranjang gw gara-gara takut tidur sendiri. Lu yang selalu mau ikut dan kembaran sama gw tapi gw ga pernah mau. Sorry yah, gw ga bisa jadi sosok cici yang bisa lu panutin, yang bisa jadi seorang sahabat juga. Aku kangenn sama kamu do.

         Buat mami, papi sama dado, sebenarnya yang selalu bikin aku nangis sekarang tuh aku bayangin mobil kita di rumah isinya uda bukan 4 orang lagi, sekarang tiap kali kalian kemana-mana, isi mobilnya cuman 3 orang. Aku kangen ketawa-ketawa dan jalan-jalan sama kalian. Mami, papi sama dado, terima kasih atas cinta dan kasih sayang kalian ke aku yah, making me the luckiest girl i never imagined i would be. 

Mami, Papi sama Jovita, I love you.

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.
Jean Jacques Rousseau

Today I learned that every person has its limits, because being patient has its border line too. The fact that I lost my blackberry was shocking but people just don't seem to get it that i was really disappointed of  it. I know that although my friends often make fun of me, they simply do it just for fun and don't mean to insult or make me mad. However, today, I think they've gone beyond limits, that this time it has gone too far. I know i've never been angry to him, but this time, he just simply can't understand me, shud bff do that to one another? today i finally has the gult to say what i want to say, that i was disappointed of this and that, dislike things done this way and that. i finally was able to express my feelings. although now i know that he would think that "how come she became so sensitive?" and etc. I've been so patient, and never ever get mad when somebody makes fun of me or anything.

I hope Nick knows and realizes that I was able to say that because I want to be honest, cause throughout these years i've never once had the courage to say this.

Nick's been a friend and a guardian

Nick's been by my side since such a long time, whenever there's problem he's always around, whenever i need him he always tried to be there. if i need help Nick's there, and if the whole world hates me he said he would be by my side, and in fact he always did =)

Nick, I hope you can understand how i feel yah.

best friends forever! :)
hugs.

in the process

my next post lagi dibikin yahh =( sorry ga bikin2

happy holidays!

meme and mimi
kita kenal uda dari kelas 4 SD yah, cuman mulai deket pas SMP 2, gara-gara we sang toxic - Britney Spears, on stage, humiliating ourselves on public, depan sluruh skolah lagi! meme sama mimi, thanks for everything, soalnya kalian selalu percaya dan selalu dukung dan ga pernah sekalipun ga ada when i need kalian. sad yah, kita skrg temenan jauh banget, dulu jakarta barat semua, tiap hari pasti ketemu, but now its like united states - australia - singapore gitu :(


buat meme, a friend is one of the nicest things you can have, and one of the best things you can be. me kalo ga ada kamu aku ga mungkin kayak aku yang sekarang. me selalu ada, bahkan meme kalo d singapur aja pasti mau dengerin ocehan aku bulak-balik yah, trus selalu dukung aku non-stop tanpa pamrih :) ih sayang bngt sama kamu! waktu ada masalah dulu kamu ga pernah tanya apa-apa langsung dukung aku, thanks ya me kamu percaya sama  aku, thanks kamu bisa ngerti aku luar dalemnya gimana, thanks kamu ngertiin aku yang ga bisa ngmg hal-hal yang aku mauin. gila me aku ngmg gini malu bngt loh, tapi i'm writing this on my blog so that others know how valuable and important you are in my life, me! hehe pasti ntar abis kamu baca ini bilang aku norak deh. hehe.


buat mimi, helo sexy! Only your real friends will tell you when your face is dirty.
cocok bngt ya mi buat lu? hehe..

nih kalo buat mimi mah banyakkk yang bisa di-omongin! mi lo tuh yang paling ngerti gw rasanya. mi lo ajarin gw banyak hal berharga, you taught me how to fight, how to be independent, how to be a person others respect, how to be sticking to your own values and most importantly, how to love myself as it is and just be "me" all the time. if it wasn't you who opened my eyes i may not be as brave as i am today loh. all you said was harsh things, but i know how much you care and love me because best friends say the truth :)) hohoho mimi lu tuh yang paling kurang ajar kalo hina gw, udah ga ketolong ya hinaannya! dasar . hehe.


meme sama mimi, makasih yah :)

well hello. not really much to say although lots have been going through.

its first of february, another new month, another new beginning perhaps.

well okay first of all i guess i have to introduce myself.

Vania Darwin, well thats it. that vivid and typical indonesian style, except the fact that my last name is actually my dad's and ONLY name -meaning that he doesnt even has any last name. People call me Vani. and so thats why i named this blog vaniberry something-something. To be honest I always treasured my self as a girl with limited capabilities, ordinary look and selfish characteristics. i love baby pink, soft purple, light yellow, dark chocolate, and all other beautiful colours a rainbow owns. colours lighten up my day :)

i'm sixteen years old, still trying to rejuvenate myself and finding the right track to follow. I love Jesus Christ, King above all kings. a girl who loves to SING, play some MUSIC. a bit of BASS. try to improve in GUITAR. PIANO.
