[gallery] So.. My 5 year preschooler drew this wrecking ball and confessed that she watched the original video with her 7 year old sister. You know, the video of Miley being totally naked swinging on the ball :| My natural reaction as a mom was of course to be startled. I was tempted to judge her for doing wrong, but I know it’s not the wise thing to do. So instead, I sat side by side and made a casual conversation with her just like a friend. Me: “What do you think of the video?” Her: “I closed my eyes because it looks embarrassing” Me: “Why is it embarrassing?” Her: “Because the person doesn’t wear clothes” Me: “Do you think it’s right to watch it?” Her: “No” Me: “Why” Her: “Because it’s for adults not for kids.” At this point, she just realized what she did was not right. Then suddenly she begged me not to tell daddy, because she’s afraid daddy will be angry. She did it with kitten eyes that made me laughed out loud :)) I already told her dad before that but she doesn’t know....

ARE YOU WITH THE RIGHT PARTNER? During a seminar, a woman asked,” How do I know if I am with the right person?” The author then noticed that there was a large man sitting next to her so he said, “It depends. Is that your partner?” In all seriousness, she answered “How do you know?” Let me answer this question because the chances are good that it’s weighing on your mind replied the author. Here’s the answer. Every relationship has a cycle… In the beginning; you fall in love with your partner. You anticipate their calls, want their touch, and like their idiosyncrasies. Falling in love wasn’t hard. In fact, it was a completely natural and spontaneous experience. You didn’t have to DO anything. That’s why it’s called “falling” in love. People in love sometimes say, “I was swept of my feet.”Picture the expression. It implies that you were just standing there; doing nothing, and then something happened TO YOU. Falling in love is a passive and spontaneous experience. But after a few months...

[gallery] Year end rituals: cleaning up and re-organizing things. It gives a good time for contemplating and rearranging priorities. Sometimes we don’t realize what we got until we treasure them. Sometimes we don’t realize what we lost until we found them. Sometimes we keep things that we thought could be useful someday. Sometimes we don’t want to let go things that we don’t use anymore, for the sake of its memories. Yet it’s amazing how time can simply turn our valuables into trash, and how our trash could be someone else’s treasure. What matters, stay. – View on Path .

[gallery] They say, HOPE is: Hold On, Pain Ends But sometimes, pain never ends unless we eliminate hope Hope for the love that never return Hope for the people that never come back Hope for the past that can never be present Understand that there are impossibilities in this world, and some of them could be those we were hoping for Never say never, especially to “Never loose hope”

[gallery] Sunset in Rear View Mirror It’s beautiful As it was, always It drags attention To keep looking back It evokes desire To turn back around But life must go on To the destined direction And people have to let go Before causing deeper sorrow

My terrace door was locked for several days. I’ve been trying hard to open it but always failed. The harder I pushed the key to the right (open direction), the strongest it seems to stuck. The door was left unopened, and all I got was hurt in my fingers. Today I desperately tried it one more time. I pushed it hard, and again, failed. But suddenly, out of nowhere, I had an idea to pull it backward. I turned it to the left (lock direction), it is locked even deeper. Then I turned it to the right, twice, almost without effort, and voila! The door is successfully open! My mom once told me a story when she was in Makkah. There’s an old couple who fought hard and everyone in the camp knows. The next day, the man brought the woman food, as a gesture of apology, although without saying sorry verbally. The woman, who were still offended, refused it. Mom gave her an advice, “Keras jangan dilawan dengan keras. Jadinya hancur.” The same advise should’ve been given to me 12 years ago. I thought I’v...

2013 was such a roller coaster year that it took quite some time to think, write down, edit, and finally publish. 2013 was also about dreams come true. I’m often overwhelmed by my own wishes, it seems to always find its way to be fulfilled. Must be extra careful about what I’m wishing for.. Coz God always listens and answers our prayers.. Sooner or way later. That’s what 2013 taught me. HIGHLIGHTS Done LASIK in KMN Kebon Jeruk in January. One of the best decisions ever taken, after 4 years of consideration. Now I can see very clearly without glasses or lenses. Refilled my self-love buckets by semi-solo traveling (read: without hubby). Visited Situ Gunung (and dreadful ojek experience in Curug) in May, one day trip to Belitung Island also in May, dolphin hunting in Teluk Kiluan in June, and happily stranded in Karimun Jawa for a week in July. Refreshed relationship with hubby by spending time together in Bangkok (on wedding anniversary), Singapore (stay in Marina Bay Sands and dip in th...

[gallery] While checking my tumblr archive for writing my 2013 reviews, I found this post and overwhelmed.. Just realized that in just 7 months after that, I really got what I wanted. I did swim in that infinity pool with hubby and stayed in that Marina Bay Sands hotel for 3 days. I actually forgot totally that I’ve ever posted that. But the law of attraction just magically worked out. Amazing :) nuniek : Where is it? I want!

When we almost arrived home after new year staycation today, hubby asked me: ”Do you ever get bored with me?” I turned to him and asked him back: “Do you ever?” which he responded quickly, “Of course not.”  Before I had the chance to answer, we arrived home and the conversation discontinued as we were busy clearing things off from the car.  He didn’t seem eager to continue the conversation, perhaps he’s just not ready IF I give him an ugly truth.
