Op zondag 8 maart begonnen de deelnemers bij communiteit Sepakat te Pontianak aan te komen. Een groep van 6-8 broeders gecoördineerd door Greg en Gab ging aan de slag. Binnen een paar uren stonden er 6 tentjes klaar om de “broederschapsdag-gangers” te ontvangen.
We started the Reflection Days in the evening of 20 October 2008 with an opening liturgy which continued by the opening speech of The Superior General our fellow brother Bram.
On Wednesday evening (15 October 2008) together with 2 other brothers we left for Amsterdam. This means for me after nearly 3 years I would meet again my fellow brothers who were my house mates for more than 5 years.
After 3 days I get boring to be an accompany to my poor sick brother. Spending time just sitting beside his bed, medically I can not help him much. But I am quite sure that he needs a friend to accompany him, and an intepreter if they come and ask him.
It was a year ago I posted my last note. Sure many things happened during the time. Just before the Moslem day the 1rst Syawal 1426 I left the Nederland back to my born country. I stayed for several months in Yogya, in charge as the community-leader. We were 13 brothers, just both the old Brother Ew and me among the students. There was frater Fl of Malang who was taking lecture at the IPPAK, joining our community.
Three days after the visit of Ha & Gra, came AnnM & Mi & Feli to visit me. Though we have met each other not long ago, even I have visited them and stayed the nights with them, they didn't want to miss any chans of seeing me again. God, my shepherd, the care you give me by means of the others, I will share it again to my fellow brothers and sister. God, you are the true love.
Today my best friend made a big improvement with the blog of multicultural religious life in the Netherlands. With tries and errors there have more photos and some animations with hiden texts been added. That was a great work, mate. You did yourself proud.
After the morning prayer, still in the corridor Cor came to me and without giving any chance to refuse it he pushed me a banknote. "To refund the photo album." Surrounded by dozens of brothers I did not dare to express my objection. The day before yesterday was her birthday. I went to congratulate her with a tiny pot of lucky bamboo promising her the album that had not been ready yet by then. The next day I gave it her and meant it as another present.
From Mi I get the photo-albums of the on 20th October "KRL" gathering, the Foreign Religious in The Netherland. It was in Den Bosch by the sisters of JMJ at Marienburg. There I also met Marian who came from Denekamp without the other three of the Pringsewu-s.
Milvu, how is life? Here is an inspiring and nice Dutch poem. And if someday you have more spare time after hard working in your office, you may try to search one of these lines.
You are still making use the gratis HOTMAIL but your account stick to 2MB and you cannot incease it to 250MB as it had to be? Thanks to the creative Arjunprabhu, I refer you to his recomendation. I have proved its efficacy and so did Mi, my best friend.
My soul-mate takes care very very much of me. And this one what I have received. Once I told 'm that one can make use of such equipment as an education device in improving his of her skill of foreign language. O God - my Lord. How wonderful is your LOVE, the care that you show me by means of the others. The device will be hanging at my breast near by my heart.

During the weekend I spent a couple of days by visiting some acquaintances of mine. After the first stop by the the sisters in Ter Eem, on Saturday with Feli and Mar, I went to Hengelo to handover a packet to Len. There we saw the first time her oriental shop that provides Indonesian food materials. She runs it together with other two friends.
After the closing of the General Chapter we are, all the members of the congregation now looking forward to the second part of the three provincial chapters respectively in the Nederland on 9th October, Indonesia on 22nd October and in Brasil 13rd November 2005. Unofficially Bra has asked me to stay at least untill both of them back to Huijbergen, i.e. at the beginning of November 2005. Meanwhile I am able to do something preparatory reading to help the sister of PMY or the Daughters of Marie and Joseph who will run their chapter in January 2005 in Central Java.
Every aircraft that will take off has to be ready for fly. Unless it is airworthy no authority will give it permission to go. I am not any kind of the aircraft. But after more than 10 years never take the general medical check-up, I want to get some actual indication about my health. Now I think it is a good time to make it. After the council period is over and before getting the new asignment, for sure in Indonesia, I ask bro. Huub to arrange it for me.
After a week general chapter we 've got the new General Council. As foreseen by the lobbying Bram becomes the GenSup replacing EdQ who is now as the ViceGenSup. And Piet is the 3nd member of the council.
Mi, it was a weekfull wherein I didn't hear your voice. I believe, however, that the angel who I sent always keeps whispering you her beautiful night song during your dream. And her wings never reluctant to sweep your unvoluntary tears.
Since early Friday midday the security control at all train and metro stations in Amsterdam and Rotterdam was been boosted. Though there was not a concrete terrorist threatening, said the authorities, there was enough indication indeed to step up the regulation.
Rat called me when I was on line listening to Mi, who was sharing her exhausting vacation trip to Rome. Ra worried about my outgoing period of staying here in the Nederland. "I will lose my bro", she whispered. Wait till the chapter will have finished. It will take place on 19-24 September 2005.
Early this morning I phoned my fellow bros in Ponti trying to get the flight number by which the 5 bros will fly to the Nederlands. Though the departure just in two days they know nothing about it. Ashame!? No, not at all. They are really faithful people who put everything just in the DP (divina providentia, Goddelijke Voorzieningheid). Meanwhile, here we are going to arrange who and when will go to the airport to pick them up. Yeah, we live in the other world indeed.
You know? If you want to get some information and then you send a (electrical) mail to several related persons hoping that at least one of them will respons you. Does it work just simple as you think? Each of them assumes that the other would has done it.
Yesterday afternoon EQ went to Schiphol to pick up our three fellow brothers. I stayed home since he was accompanied by Bertrand's bro of Zundert. They would come from Caceres via Sao Paulo and Paris with the flight of Varig RG 8720. But the plane did not fly further than Paris. After more than 2 hours delay finally they arrived at Schiphol with AF 2240.
On 31th August 2005 a big crowd of people packed into the Kadhimiya shrine by the river of Tigris to mark the death in 799 of Musa al-Kadhim, 7th Imam or successor to Prophet Mohammed. Then spread a panic through the crowd because of rumours of a possible suicide bombing.
New Orleans pounded by hurricane.
On the way home after staying the weekend at TerEem, I made a stop at Schiphol shopping-center since I have had to wait for the next connection of my train. There I got my Pentax 50 by a sale. For it’s category it was cheap like borsch. Really it's dirt cheap.
I heard again and again that Cor very satisfied with her first trip to Indonesia. Thank you God, for your ‘divina providentia’.
Tuesday at 09.00 o’clock we left Pati for Amsterdam. It’s a long long journey indeed. Gre drove us to the airport of Semarang. On the way we made a stop by Yor, at her office in Jl. Kawi. After lunch at her community we went on. By the GA251 we got Jakarta’s airport at nearly 4 pm. And after a long waiting with the flight SQ167 of 20.15 we flew to Singapore. There we got a good connection, didn’t have to wait long time, we flew further to Amsterdam with SQ324. At 6.35 am the next day, that was yesterday, we arrived in the Nederland. The old neighbour of Cor picked us up from the Schiphol and took us home. About 9 o’clock a.m. (= after about 29 hours on trip), just before our Cor came to begin her work, I entered my room.
I have made some appointments for the next weekend. Pay a visit to Le & Dar, to Denekamp, to Ijselstein getting some Rat's parcels for her sister Lis in Yogya, and to stay the night by my fellow sisters in Amersfoort. But alas, I read this morning papers that they are going to strike on the very Friday. Do you think an angel will come down tomorrow from heaven to stop the devil's plan?
He was born in 1946 and claims when he was four years old that he had a mysterious encounter with a sphere of light while in a garden near his house, in Israel. He first became aware of his "unusual powers" when he was five. He claims that during a meal his spoon curled up in his hand and broke, although he had applied no physical pressure to it.

The panel of judges presided over by Suprapto said that Zulfiqar was guilty of trying to traffic 300 grams of heroin through the Soekarno-Hatta airport to Surabaya on August 28, 2004.

And there were many of his fans standing in front of the court celebrated his acquittal. UK-based psychic Uri Geller, a friend for a number of years, said he was "so pleased" by the verdict.
Faz's mom of Jakarta phoned me this afternoon. You may call it by accident, but I really want to tell you that she was in my mind in these days. Even yesterday I got watching their picture for a moment. It was Faz in a horse-cart on way home from his kindergarten. I hadn't told her that I will go to Jakarta this month. By then I let her know about my coming trip. I'm not sure that I will have enough time to meet her family during this visit. In any case I'm delighted that she and her family make progress in their life.
Last weekend we had guests, a couple of Gra and Ha. They arrived late in the evening round 10.30 pm on Friday. The next day we went by train to the Antwerp. I have just been finish uploading their pictures on the GeocitiesYahoo taken during their stay here in Huijbergen. I hope that they are able to enjoy these photos.
As poor people, the brothers and sisters to whom the Lord has given the grace of serving or working with their hands, should do so faithfully and conscientiously. Let them avoid that idleness which is the enemy of the soul. But they should not be so busy that the spirit of holy prayer and devotion, which all earthly goods should foster is extinguished. (TOR 18)
Just come back from Hogerheide by bike. Had to make a new passport photo, since they (who work in the vreemdelingen-dienst in Zwolle) did not accept my previous one that was taken last year. No, I am not going to say a damn word here, because it does not make up my heart at all, neither will they read it.
Get knowing more about how the yahoo-photo works, I make an update to my blog. Some old links to the photo album might be renewed. Milv told me that the previous background was dazzling. Now you can see the difference especially by its heading.
Ewa's been here in the Nederland for more than 4 weeks, waiting for a call to make his eyes operation. During the midday meal we sit opposite each other. It seems that with him I might do pulling his leg. He has a good sense of humor.
Lord, my loved one.
Inspirated by the way of Sr. Marg who did the minutes for the Dutch Province Chapter, I begin to make trainning of my shorthand. I do say my shorthand, because I do it in my own way. I have been adapting the Karundeng system in latin alphabet. And it works. O sorry, I should have to say, it worked!
International Fraciscan Conference.
On Saturday evening 24 April 2005 I attended the engagement party of Diyah and Erick in Almere Haven. A poor and lucky Diyah. In her young age she has to suffer from severe deases that makes her omong other loses her hairs. She looked however very beautiful that nigth. I wish you a happy mariage. May God the All-know guide both of you in his purifying way.
Early this morning in Japan, a train has derailed and hit a building, killing 49 people and injuring about 300. The commuter train came off the tracks at Amagasaki near Osaka, 410km (255 miles) west of Tokyo, and one carriage rammed into a building. Some passengers said the train appeared to have been travelling too fast and began to shake before it derailed. One said that the train overran a stop at the previous station and so it backtracked, so the driver was likely in a hurry because the train was running late.
The new Pope has been chosen from what could be termed the traditional side of the Catholic Church. To some, he heralds intellectual salvation during a time of confusion and compromise. To others, his record as Pope John Paul II's prefect of doctrine showed the then Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to be an intimidating "Enforcer", punishing liberal thinkers, and keeping the Church in the Middle Ages.
The idea of locking up the cardinals was originally a way of speeding up the election.
The 115 cardinals from 42 countries Saturday will head to the Casa Santa Marta Hotel, where they will be housed throughout the conclave.
Next month I 'll join the IFC- conference. There will be discussed among others the trinity and communion - communication.

The Italian Milan has two worldwide famous football clubs. AC Milan and Internazionale or Inter Milan. What do you think if the two clubs have to play against each other? Imagine that you were a citizen of Milan. You should proud of both of them, I dare say. But what has happened on 12 April 2005?
They say that William and Harry, the sons of Princess Diana, decorated the wedding car, a Bentley, which drove the newly-weds their father Prince Charles and Camilla to start their honeymoon. They had penned "Prince + Duchess" and "Just Married".

They let the body "the saint" liying in state for three days at the plane of St. Peter's Cathedral.
In these two days we get so many snow that never happened in the last 20 years. Thousands of passingers have to stay at the Schiphol airport. I see them in the tv-news lying on the floor waiting for the unfixed flight to their home.
A couple days ago my housemate left for Brazil and so I am home alone. But it’s not the reason that this weekend I went to pay a visit to the sisters spm who live in the northern of the country. I miss them, and they want to learn how to manage the web-site for the congregational use. Whay not? I am able, and I will help every body with pleasure in God’s love. The knowledge is not belong to me. If I share it, it doesn’t decrease from my head and nothing fades away.
For the coming Chapter I have got 4 interpreters, Gerda, Jan, Leo en Jo. I think there are a good composition, a sister, the brothers and a lay people. The only one lay man is also an Indonesian. That is one of my reason to have him among the others.
Sunday afternoon I visited Cor the first time this year 2005. Just before entering her house, I saw her through the front window sitting by the small round table. As usual I am welcome. In our chat I got a piece of her youth time. Cor, frankly say, I don’t dare to take in such long trip to Indonesia. But maybe someday something will change my mind, some second opinions will encourage me. Then you will meet Eva and Anna, or also Hendy.
At nine p.m. we (EQ, Leo, Domi, Angelus and me) left for Tilburg. EQ drove us and just before entering the city Leo had to guide him. Just only a couple of months ago Leo and me have been there by the Capuchins to attend the funeral of P. Secundus.

This afternoon I met Adri by accidently before the coffee. How does our exhibition look like? "It's okay, not one of the pictures gets off from its place. You need not to worry about." Although I've done my best, actually I'm not satisfied with it. What I wish to be there, aren't there. And everything that now there is, has nothing to deal with our congregations work. Now I only talk about the Indonesian department of the exhibition. Wayang pops, fancy umbrellas of Tasik, copper or tin houses, Balines sculptures. However, not-good is better than nothing.
There are three brothers who celebrate their jubileum this year. I have just finished making felicitation cards for Adri, Grigion and Edward. I use the picture of our backside house as the background, with combination Park Avenue and Nuptialscript letters. It looks reasonable good in its A5 format.
Yesterday I went to the funeral of Pater Secundus Cap. - or René van Donzel, who since 1951 worked in West Kalimantan. He reached 80 years and was buried in Tilburg. It was rainy, and really a worthy solemn ceremony. Beside some sisters of Veghel, ex-missionaris, unexpectedly I met "Y" a young lady, born in Kudus and her sister is Dr. Lucia of Pati. I also met Bernadeth the sister of P. Pasificus of Singkawang. She lives in Hengelo with her husband and children. I wish I could get some information over Irene the president of KKI in Tilburg.
Seusai nonton film "bagus", kita menceritakannya kepada teman-temen, entah ekspilist atau implisit menganjurnya untuk menonton juga. Dan kita bilang itu bukan "iklan" serta tak dibayar oleh produsernya atau pemilik bioskop. We call it, however, to share the life. O my the have-not fellows, how lucky you’re, because you share yours each other.
Early this morning I got sms from Made telling me that I had succesfully encouraged her, that she is thankful for having the consolation. I tell you, friends, the truly consolation could only come from God the Only Good Reliable Provider.
