Stranded

Yep.
Stranded in Auckland all alone.
This was supposed to be just a day trip, initial plan was to get into Auckland at 1 pm, attend Eka's wedding and head back home to Wellington at 7 pm.

Unfortunately, all Wellington flights were canceled due to severe wind.

So me being me, I dont wanna spend the night at my friends'. I went to a motel near the airport instead. Adi went all the way to the airport last night, but I chose the motel.
Pretty sure Eka will come get me if I make one phone call.

Not that I dont value the friendships, it's just that it's gonna be too much hassle for them. They have to work in the morning and I dont want to intervene with their schedules. It's just me. I have my reasons.

So here I am, wearing the exact same clothes and underwear (thank God for panty liners and disposable undies!).

This thing make me realize one thing and one thing only. It all comes down to family. All I want right now, is to be home in Wellington at our rental property with Andi and Onya.

Yes. After spending few hours in the city... I realize that Auckland isn't home anymore. My heart belongs to Wellington, even with all its natural challenges (earthquakes, winds, storms)... Im a Wellingtonian at heart. Auckland is just too crowded for me. I was never a city girl.

I suppose to hop on the 17:10pm flight today. Im praying there will be no more delay nor cancelation.

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?...
