Yesterday & Today

This is a story about how easily you can make someone feel differently about you...


Yesterday.
I went to the zoo with my colleagues.
Revisiting the joy of my childhood, giggling while feeding the deers.
I was so happy and anxious at the same time.
One part of me wanted to spend longer time;
Another wanted to go home.

It was his day. The day he turned 28.
I had not met and greeted him in person.
I planned to go back at 5pm, but it was hard to find cab.
Ending up reaching office at 8pm and cancelling our dinner.

But he was kind enough to wait.
Fortunately, he had some works to get done.
We spent the rest of the evening together;
eating at our fav humble place, sharing hugs and laughter.


I was so grateful of the simplest, purest love we had.
He said he was happy that he could spend his birthday with me.
Little did he know, I was the happiest human to hear that.



Today.
We started the day awfully.
He asked me whether he could have his gift exchanged.
The new belt I gave him was not as he thought it would be.
I was devastated; I was a failure. Each year I could not figure out the best gift for him.

Our conversation turned sour. We did not talk much during the day.

He was so sweet to agree sharing his dinner with me.
We chatted, we ate.. Suddenly things got better, but not for long.
I said the wrong things (again). He got hurt, deeply.
What stupid was that I did not even realize. Not until he left in silence.


It's been twice this month that he said I fed him up.
It makes me think: may be he is better without me.

Am I too selfish to make him stay?
Little did he know, I was most upset when I could not make him smile.
He deserves someone better, better than an indecisive girl who does not know how to do things right.

Married & Expecting

Hi there, It's been awhile since the last time I wrote. I am now finally a Mrs. Never thought that after getting married, life gets even better. I never thought I could be this happy. It's like a dream :) Waking up everyday feeling grateful. Also, we are pregnant!!! With a little, acrobatic, baby boy (the last time we checked). I am currently learning new things day by day. The new kind of happiness The first time we got that two stripes, it was indescribable. Also the happy tears every time we peek our little swimmer through USG :') The dramatic change with my body My oh my, I never thought I could constantly feel like a balloon that is about to burst. The magical world of weird food I drink boiled water of  mung bean daily... (And I was so surprised how essential it is to pregnancy, beyond its common belief to encourage beautiful, thick hair growth for the baby) The surprising pain              and the nausea ... :'( ...

One of The Most Important Decision

So many things happened in life recently. I have just lost a grandpa.. A person whose stories I will forever miss. A person who could make people feel so much. I am so lucky to be able to be beside him through his last moments. How can I describe it? My grandpa passed away peacefully. He was healthy, just went to doctor for a check up, when he found out that his heart was running only with 40% function. He then got hospitalized for a week. His heart was weak, which inevitably impacted his lungs; But he was still able to talk & do things normally. Just needed to stay in bed. I spent my weekend with him. I scooped him some mashed banana, so it would be easier for him to swallow medicine. I helped him with his cough.. I have never imagined I would see him not-energized.. My grandpa, a war hero... He was a very active man. Even after turning 88 yo, he still spent the weekend visiting his children/grandchildren. What really touched me was that: even in his last m...

Project FINALLY

Hi there! It's been a while  :) Just want to pour my thoughts & feelings for a while. Rangga and I are having this Project FINALLY. Yes, we are preparing for our big day! After 4 years of laughter, happiness, tears & quarrels..  FINALLY!  Anyway, it is still in Jul 2017 But I am so excited! Decided not to get help from WO, we are planning it ourselves. Every weekend, starting next week, will be filled with surveying vendors, taking photos, buying stuffs. Sounds exciting, tho' I know it would be exhausting as well. When did he pop the question? As far as I can remember, we have been talking about getting married since we entered our 2nd year of relationship. Never in serious manners tho'. Alhamdulillah this year we finally  had family meet up (last Jul 2016).. We talked about it for real . So, I would honestly admit that there was no 'will you marry me' on bended knee (in fact, he never asked me t...
