C'est La Vie!

We have been together for 4 years But I am still surprised to discover new versions of him each day.. Today he had shown how bad he could express his anger. I was honestly really scared, but at the same time I felt like I wanted to protect him. He was so strong, but so hurt at the same time. I had never felt the sudden urge to hold & to comfort. "I am sorry.. All is well. We are alright.." Yet today he had also shown me how deeply he could love. I admit I have this problem sometimes to blur out... Feeling like people would understand my complicated stories; feeling like my brain is running faster than my ability to restructure words. Rangga tho' very patiently tried to untangle my words, defining it into correct, understandable sentences. I called him rude out of my defense. Then he said, "I want to teach you how to communicate correctly, clearly.. Because I spend my days with you. And after that (after the wedding), I will be with you every

Feeling the urge to jot this down.. Dear fellow bride-to-be, What could be more worrisome than wedding planning is to actually see how you & your partner could collaborate as a team. Because it may not be as what you expected. There might be a lot of monologue; You may feel so alone. It may make you feel frustrated and dis-encouraged. But hang in there & keep wishing for miracle. :) Whatever it may turn out; It would be for the best. It would clarify things. Whether strengthen the bond or make you grow patience.

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

I have been wanting to travel solo; like truly alone, with no relatives nor friends I know.  These past few days I have finally had my wish! Yay!

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

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 be
