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

Lavender and Butterfly

My very first (and probably my last) tattoo. Why lavender ?  Because I love the smell.  I love the colour.  Lavender is pretty much the only plant that stays alive in my garden. It thrives in pretty much any weather with very little care. It lives with a big bunch of other lavenders but it can also lives on its own little bundle. It shows strength, and grace. Butterfly means beauty. Not just superficial beauty... but beauty after a storm. Beauty that was earned.  Like, after it went through struggles from a cocoon. Plus, you see butterfly (normally) in a great weather. Adds the beauty to the surroundings, like a balance in the universe.  Psalm 23:6 , is what I really resonate in my life.  That no matter what, no matter where, no matter how many bad decisions I’ve made.... God’s goodness and mercy is always with me. That I’m okay. That the God who made the universe loves me still.  That regardless how fucked up I am, His goodness and mercy is always wi...

A Wife's Heart

Postingan kali ini buat Andi. Feel so blessed beyond words punya suami kaya beliau. Walo banyak rese n nyebelinnya juga. He works really hard. I mean REALLY hard. I know I've complained about him being too busy, but lately he changed. Yes, dia masih sibuk banget di kantor. Yes, dia masih suka 'nyetrap' gw di mobil suru tunggu. Tapi I know that family is his top priority. The house is almost done. Andi spent hours last Sat and Sun buat bebersih rumah. Gw ga boleh ikut. "masih debuan banget" - gitu katanya. He knows Im allergic to dust and frankly, what can a pregnant woman possibly do? Ga mungkin juga kan gw ngangkat2 furniture. Naek tangga aja suka engap. Dapet laporan dari Otoy, Andi ngangkat2 barang ampe mukanya merah, ampe kringetan ngeces2... Gw tau dia pasti cape banget. Tapi begitu pulang he brought nothing but his big, warm smile. "Udah. Nanti gw sekali lagi kesana, finalize bersih2 - then you can come. Tuh gw beliin kelapa, mau diminum sekarang ga?...
