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

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...
