Empat Belas Juni Sembilan Delapan

Two angsty teenagers in an oversized uniforms,
... zits all over, awkward and carefree. 

A poem. 
That's how it all started. 
A poem about jasmine.

The boy asked "will you take the jasmine?" 
The girl answered, "yes, I will"

Exactly 10 years ago.
Two 17 years old who were too afraid to even hold hands. 
Left alone the kissing part... :)

14 June 1998. 
The day it all started.... 

As we look back, 
it's indeed rewarding to wait. 

Of course, as a couple we had our moments. 
We ain't no saint. 
We went through moments that every couple went through.

Moments when there were only two of us in the room, 
moments when we made out.. 
Moments of raging hormones and curiousity.
Moments of temptation when sex seems so interesting.

But thank God we pulled a break. 
We felt it wasn't the right thing to do.
We both agree that there are more to a relationship than just physical.... 
so we made a giant leap. 
No kissing until we got married. 

And mind you, 
that time, we didn't know when we're gonna get married. 
But somehow, we manage to stick to that commitment. 
1,5 years we didn't kiss. 

Extreme juga si kalo dipikir2... 
but Im glad we chose that road. 

Not that we feel superior about ourselves. 
Sama sekali tidak. 
It's just us. 
As cliche as this may sound, 
It's just that..... to us, it's worth to wait.

We waited 3 years before our first kiss.
We waited 8.5 years before we see each other naked. 
We waited 8.5 years before we had our first sex after the wedding. 

Which, by the way... 
movie about teens having their first sex and actually enjoyed it
IT'S FRIGGIN' WAAAYY OVER RATED!!!!
Lu kate gampang ape pertama kalinye?!?

Anyway, 
All in all.... it's indeed a wonderful journey. 

O well,
just me feeling mellow on saturday morning.. 
Ooh.. after 2 weeks of morang maring, 
marah2, cembetut2, hating the whole world... 
FINALLY hari ini gw 'dapet'... 

It's about time! 
Sakit peruuutttt...... tapi mood sudah jauh membaik :)

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?...
