HAPPY (belated) VALENTINE's DAY

It's that time of the year. Again.

Few years back, I have always celebrated by dressing up and going out for dinner with my closest friends.

But this year is different. I'm not wearing my nicest skirt, not putting on my highest stilettos and basically it's just like any other day.

Valentine with Andi:
No, Andi and I are not celebrating in any special way.
As corny as this may sound, but every day is already a celebration of love for both of us - every day is already special and cherished. Today is no different.

We called each other, like we've done so many times before.
And we'll talk about everything and anything under the sky. Like we always do, any other day.
There'll be little fight here and there, baekan lagi, cengengesan lagi..

Valentine with my best friend - Abo:
Nothing really happened. We didn't even say Happy Val's Day to each other.
Ketemu di kantor trus our day went as normal.
We called each other dodgy names, as always.
Saling cela, like we always do.
Curhat (gossip) about everbody and everything...

Normal. Just. Like. Any. Other. Day.

The thing is, both Andi and Abo already know I love them. And how much.
I tell them every chance I get. (Well, maybe not lately)

Thus, I'm dedicating this year's Valentine's Day to the people who are some times overlooked by the hype and commercialized lovey-dovey-goo goo-gaa gaa bullshit that surround this day.

To my greatest friends and family - without whom I wouldn't have survived through so many ordeals, and without whom I wouldn't have been whole - I am who I am today because of you.

Soo Lan, Jo, LJ, Eka, Renata, Ela, Boboy and Adi, you may not be here, but believe me when I say this: you are never far.
I keep you close to my heart. And I don't tell you every day, but I know, somehow, you know.

I love you all, so much. So very very much.

And to all reading this, have a Happy Valentine's Day.

Bucket List

Yep. Been hearing a lot about people dropped dead suddenly. Mulai dari si Adjie Masaid, babenya si Joshua, then just now Emma's friend juga Dadaism died of heart attack. She was 29 years old, just got ,arrayed last October. Life is so fragile. That's why I really hate Andi each time I have to remind him over and over again about healthy lifestyle. Anyway, decided to make a bucket list for myself. 1. Back to NZ 2. Sky dive 3. Vacation to Russia 4. Having more than enough funds for Onya to pursue her degree in England, Oxford University preferably :) 5. Ngeliat Andi punya bodi keren 6. Buying a house for my parents 7. Karet tengsin dijual Hmmm....... Belon kepikiran yg lawn. Nanti di update lg deh

Pippy

We have a new addition in the family. We adopted a Jack Russell from SPCA.  Kenapa anjing? Karena seumur idup gua, for as long as I can remember, gua selalu punya anjing. Bukan cuma sekedar "miara" loh, tapi yg bener2 part of the family.  Yg paling membekas itu tentu aja Piko ama Picca my last two dogs.  Kakah died when I was about 5 months pregnant with Onya. Jadi Onya sama sekali ga sempet ketemu my dogs.  Makin kesini gw makin yakin, kalo animals play an important role in kids life (at least di idup gw lah). They learn about responsibility, caring and most importantly compassion. I wanna give a chance buat Onya ngerasain apa yg gw rasain ke Piko n Kakah. The gift of unconditional friendship they gave... And how u learn to love them too.  Kenapa adopt? Karena saya ini agak2 idealis tapi realistis. I love animals. Dogs especially.  Idealis karena gw mau do the right thing YG GW BISA. Realistis karena, as much I want to.... Gw ga akan sanggup kl disuru jadi...

Another Random Post

It is perhaps a monumental probability that I've simply forgotten what has kept me here. Or evidently, what I have fought so hard for. What wind could be so strong, it banishes hundreds of acres of oaks, yet still ever so gentle enough to persuade even the most delicate of buds to move with, barely, an inch-long effort. My God, seeing kunyuk with that robe triggered something inside. I miss her. I know she'd worked soooo hard to be where she is now. I miss those moments. Though I must admit, maybe, just maybe... Im not running for the same dream anymore. The passion still there, ... it's just become a smaller part of me. Could I have waited this long, and demolished five full years of emotional barricade? Nah. I've walked too far to even think of steeping back. What faith could have, so morbidly, left my judgement impaired? The first scar may be the deepest, but a scar is a scar. ... and one left to bleed without stitches is bound to come undone. Tapi guess what? Im hea...
