Good morning everyone,
My Blogging experience has been a wonderful one.
What makes it even more wonderful and surprising at the same time is the fact that quite a lot of my post were Tweeted.
My recent posts such as “A Quote from Pramoedya Ananta Toer” and “Pantun: Your Heart is My Favorite Playground” were Tweeted twice; whereas other posts including “Life is Like a Book”, “Get Drunk Near the Sun”, “You Said These Are True”, “Life and Its Legs”, “A Great Mental Freedom” , “Seven Advices by Jalaluddin Rumi”, “Dance, dance Under the Rain” , “Whirling Towards the Divinity”, “Chinese Bamboo and Paulo Coelho” were all Tweeted once. I’m not even sure whether these posts are Tweet-able, but I am definitely roiling in excitement when I find a post of mine is Tweeted. You could imagine how my feeling is like when there are actually more than one post Tweeted.
Because I don’t have a Twitter at the moment, you know for certain I didn’t Tweet them myself. Someone else did.
Yet up to now the mystery of who the Tweeter is remains unresolved. I don’t know who’s been doing this for me. Whether they’re someone I know or someone in the far distance that I have no faintest idea of, it remains elusive to me. Whether they’re the same person or several different people, it’s still unclear. A “he” or a “she”? Don’t ask me.
Despite not knowing the Tweeter, I am happy. And happiness is more important than anything in the world. I find the fact that someone (or maybe some people) cares enough to Tweet my posts is nothing but encouraging. I feel enormously blessed. I feel extremely loved. I truly do.
That is love. Yes it is. Love is when you do something without being asked. Love is when it comes from your heart, not out of force or deceptive enchantment. Love is when you do something with no hope of expecting something in return. It’s simple, because not every good deed deserves one in return.
I name my Tweeter “A Beautiful Stranger”. I hope he/she doesn’t mind. I am sure that my “Beautiful Stranger” has got enormous love to continuously do this for me. He/she must have got a beautiful soul.
So, my Beautiful Stranger(s), whoever you are, I’d like to thank you from the deepest of my heart. And when we meet, whenever that is, I’d like to cook you this:

Indonesian Nasi Goreng

Please accept it as a token of remembrance for the beautiful gesture you have made.
Reblogged this on John Pistono Blogs.
What a lovely gesture–on both sides!–and a gorgeous Nasi Goreng, too.
Thank you, Kathryn. I hope we could meet one day, so I could also cook you a Nasi Goreng..

Subhan Zein
Nasi Goreng is one of my top favourites Subhan, i am a big foodie and keep looking out for great food and that is how one rainy day I and Nasi Goreng met

Others have spread the love that you give out so willingly; isn’t that a beautiful thing? Love your post, and I wish I could smell and eat my computer screen!!

Thank you, Nancy. Thank you very much..

Yum – Yum – Yum – you’ll have to start to post Indonesian foods with recipes. I have never had Indonesian food. This Indonesian Nasi Goreng looks delicious. I can see there are tomatoes, cucumbers and some rice but what else is it made with? mmmMMMmmmmMMMM … I’m not the Beautiful Stranger Tweeting – I don’t even get the whole FB – Tweet thing- but I was tempted to take on the title for the dish. LOLOL
It is nice when people do things from the heart without expectations of anything. I would call that a “Random Act of Kindness” …..
Isadora
Oh, I can’t tell you that. It’s a secret.
But yeah, definitely, I’d be happy to cook you Nasi Goreng when we meet. Thank you for your visit here. I hope each of your visits here have been and will always be a joyful ride..

Drooling all over just at the sight of it….what if i JUST taste a spoon and let you know how it’s cooked before you feed the stranger?????????
I’m so happy that you loved it at the first sight. Well, yes of course. I have one plate here reserved for you. And I’ll make you another one when we meet..

Hi,
I know the feeling you mean. I am also not on twitter or facebook and it is wonderful when someone, somewhere has taken the time to share a post.
You have wonderful posts, I can understand why someone would want to share.
Wow, that dish looks delicious.
Thank you, my lovely friend..
I made plenty of them, so one Nasi Goreng is definitely reserved for you..
Subhan Zein
Now I didn’t tweet my friend but I am devoring the Nasi Gorang your offering here
Yummy!
Don’t worry, I made plenty, my lovely friend. I’ve saved some Nasi Goreng for you.
Subhan Zein

Let’s hope your tweet benefactor got some of that nice food before the rest of us used it up.
Hehe, thanks Ian. I’d be happy to cook Nasi Goreng for you when we meet.

Yummy!!! The food that is and the post is heartfelt, your posts are usually great to read
Hi Boomiebol. Thank you very much.

Subhan Zein

Oh, how kind of you to say that! Thank you very much, Melissa.. You are a beautiful and genuine soul that’s for certain..

I love Nasi Goreng:). Congrats, Bro for the wonderful experience on the mysterious tweets. The more mysterious, the more interesting:). Cheeers.
Hi Mas Riyan, thank you for your wonderful comment.
Your first sentence is definitely multilayered. And since you’ve got a Twitter yourself, it seems that I should make a Nasi Goreng for you. I’d be happy to do that and bring it over to your office for sure..
Subhan Zein
No, no, no. I am not the one who tweeted your pieces, even though I have twit account. So it will stay mysterious.
But if you want to send me the box of Nasi Goreng, I am happy to share it with the mysterious person, hahaha.
Keep up the good work, Bro.
I always enjoy reading your posts. Glad to see there are so many others who do too.
Thank you very much, Karmic Diva. Your posts are thought provoking and profound. I enjoy them too.
