STAND UP!

Ireona! (Stand Up!)

Yes, this is my first blog and my first time blogging! *throw confettis*

I have been thinking about making a blog for a long time, but a little bit confused because most of the time I only whine, expressing my anger, and  'galau'.

I use English and a little bit Indonesian (maybe) because I'm trying to improve my English, I'm sorry if the readers (who wants to read me whinning?) can't understand what I wrote.

The holiday is over, now it's my 3rd semester and I'm totally, I repeat, totally troubled.  The ASSignments are hard for me.  FYI, I feel like I'm lost by entering as an IR student.  Really.

But I believe, I do believe, if God let me to be an IR student, He HAS TO have a beautiful plan for me.  The placement test was hard for me and I thought I won't be able to enter as an IR student but I passed!

I still remember the night before the test I couldn't sleep and keep listening to I'm Gonna Be Ready by Yolanda Adams because I'm helpless, and 'tunauni'.  I came out from the room with my head hung low, fortunately I have my cute-and-funny-nearly-one-year-old nephew, Aldrich.  He made me forget about the tests and laughed.  I had done the best and just let Him did the rest.

But...Unfortunately, luckily, too bad, fortunately, what a pity I still don't know it's a blessing or....the other.. to be able to pass the tests.

A kite needs a stronger wind to fly higher

I believe we will be more mature and better after facing our problems each day, but for this IR thingy is too hard for me... I guess..

Forget it, now let's talk about Ireona (Stand Up) by J-Min.

Now she's one of my favorite singer, Korean singer beside Kim Taeyeon, the leader of Girls' Generation.  My other favorite singer is Avril Lavigne and Corinne Bailey Rae.

And me, being subjective, I always love all the songs (actually not all of it) if it's my favorite singer who sings it although yes, I also have the least fav.

Avril's songs will reminds me when I was at 7th, Corinne Bailey Rae 's reminds me when I was at 10th grade, while listening to K-Pop will reminds me about the three months holiday after graduating from highschool where I got very bored and tried to listen to K-Pop.

After looking for the lyrics of Stand Up by J-Min, I found it really interesting and it encourages you to keep holding on (like Avril's song Keep Holding On) no matter what.  The music makes me want to do headbanging although it's not a death metal song.

*Even if life is hard, don’t quit until the end
The sky will protect your side
Your footsteps are heavy, make some noise
You sink down and let out a sigh
But one more time, one more try

Look to the sky confidently
Now is just the beginning
Open your shoulders
Inside of you is someone like you
Don’t give up on your future even if it’s hard
Stand up, hold my hand, take the world

Like how petals fall when time passes
Clouds promise rain
Even if you’re struggling
It can change by whatever the sky wants
Don’t worry, never mind
Wait for that day

Look to the sky confidently
Now is just the beginning
Open your shoulders
Inside of you is someone like you
Don’t give up even if it’s hard, one more time
Stand up, hold my hand, stand up again (Stand up)

Stand up (Stand up)
Raise your head

Please don’t waver
Now is just the beginning
Open your shoulders
Don’t give up even if it’s hard, one more time
Stand up, hold my hand, stand up again

Observe and feel
Even if we’re different, my friend
You’re not alone, stand up again

It's easier to say something than to do it.  I don't know, am I trying to get better or just only try to survive as an IR student?
And I'm quite thankful for two special friends who are willing to help me and encourages me, and they don't hesitate to scold me when I start to fooling around.

Tomorow I will have BIHI and we're told to think about topics for our presentation and paper...ARGH!  I'm going crazy! *singing Kantoi by Zee Avi non-stop*

By the way, have a nice day!  Smile, though your heart is aching..Smile, even though it's breaking..
