He works in everything...

I received a call from Chase this noon asking for verification for unauthorized withdrawal on my ATM card. The lady told me that someone in NY withdrew $1,000 from my account. I was shocked considering it was from my debit card and it was a huge amount of money. I went back home and tried to access my bank account online, but my account was blocked.

I then went to Chase with Gary. What I found there was even worst…that person already withdrew $2,500 from my checking account…*speechless* but the dispute department said they will return back the money to my account after the claim being processed.

After being confused and shocked for quite some times, I finally found how this did happened. A week ago, after went back from school, I received an email from Chase with the topic “Alert: Account Locked.” I read the email and responded to the link, it was a link to Chase to verify account by giving some information. Today, I figured out that Chase will never send an email to its customers and ask for a response. Oh no….

While working to close my account, the lady who helped me, found a monthly charge of $39.80 since November 2005. She asked me if it was right. I tried to remember but I could not recognize it. The lady then called the number stated there…it was a monthly service fee for finding property (did not really get it, but it clearly was not me). The not so unfriendly woman from that property business said that I signed up for that service. It was under my name, but the email stated there was not mine dohhhhhhhhh…..*shock* can you imagine that??? I never signed up for that service and the email was wrong, but I got charged from my debit card every month………oh no………I lost my smile!

*shock shock shock* if the fraud charge of that huge amount never took place, I would never find out that unknown charge! Still give thanks to God because I will get my money back. The woman from the property business said that as a courtesy, they will refund me for July charge and close my membership…Sad---sad---sad---but what can I do? Feel like giving about $280 for free…..mom will say, “ anggep aja deh mberkatin orang laen…” thanks for your companion and support, Ger!

I want to learn to give thanks at all times. I remember Diani said, “If you give thanks to the Lord, you will see His glory.”

Sedih sihhhhhhhhhhh cuman again aku inget, eniwei ini uangnya Tuhan gitu….kalo sampe ini terjadi, tetep harus bersyukur ma Tuhan. Kalo emang ini berkat Tuhan buat aku, pasti bakal kembali juga gitu….jadi inget lagu ini “You give and take away, my heart will choose to say, Lord, blessed be Your name!”

Eniwei, will not let this steal the joy of the Lord! Thanks for this experience Father! Surely I learn something out of that!

Guys, disregard any email from bank asking you to respond. Don’t forget to check and read your monthly bank statement!

Mixed Feeling....

I finished my revised case for my strategic management and submitted to my professor this evening. Now, I just finished writing my last paper for the music class. Thanks God for ideas! Feel happy - relieved - also sad....hahahaha.....cause I may miss this....miss the time when I was so stressful with paper...sleepless due to case paper...eatless due to group meeting...and so on...

Yiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiippppppppppppppieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..........I'm almost done with school! Tomorrow noon after calling home, I will need to meet my professor and she will go over the paper. Hopefully, she likes it and I do not need to do any revisions. She actually offered me this option last Wednesday. I came there to discuss about the length of the paper and she gave me different ideas. I still remember when I signed up for the class, I was so afraid and worried. But then I came to see her and she was so patient and helpful. I like her and that was why I decided to stick with this class. Although there were times when I was yelling because some of the questionaires were hard, but really give thanks to God for this awesome professor. She is so nice to me....she even offered to check my paper before I submit it...

Then....I just need to wait for my J401 grade and M174 grade. I'm done with school! Praise God! He is awesome and faithful. He has been faithful since the first time I stepped my feet in the United States, the first day I entered IUPUI ....most of the times....

Sometimes I felt the sky was dark at the beginning of the semester, but God gave me the blue sky and even rainbow at the end....

Then I should welcome my new page of life: job hunting!

All the best for finals!

Love you so much, Father! You have been there for me at all times. You’re my everything. Can’t live without You…

I feel happy now because I know I have done my best throughout my school journey. All done well because of God’s grace and mercy!

2 Timothy 4:7

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.”

.....Good bye sleepless nites....
