Lemons of Life


         Lemons of Life or “LoL” it’s a new term that I made up just now as my effort to engage with you all (LOL kidding xD). All of you’re already familiar with LoL in Lots of Love or Lots of Laugh but that is not the kind of LoL I want to talk to you about right now. My LoL is “Lemons of Life”

          “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade”

          Once again I gave you an idiom that I’m also sure is not that unfamiliar to you guys. That idiom is true. If we really make lemonades for every single lemon life gave us, we will all be very rich by now. Because life’s threw lemons not just once, twice, not even thrice. Life threw lemons at us on every corner of our lives.  

          So the “lemon” that life gave us this time is the “love” lemons. I want to tell you that “the lemonade rule” still applies in this situation. That whatever happens, good or bad, make lemonades anyway. I don’t think we own love at all, it’s quite the opposite. Love owns us. Love is the core of our being.

          Love makes us capable to do unimaginable things. Love able to make us feel good, complete, secure, and happy. Love made us the happiest person on earth, it even capable to make us feel so happy like we could burst out of happiness. Love change our life. But like a yin to its yang, there is no such thing as being-happy-all-the-time. Love also bore sadness, regrets, and guilts. All that feel-good, feel-bad feelings mixed into one complex emotion called love. We could not separate one from the other. Those feel-good feelings when we got praise, when we feel loved, when we feel being cared of. When we got hurt, we feel that way just because we love that person so much. The remorse feeling that we felt because we have let down the people we love. Our love also hurts us.

          But do not be afraid of love, though. Love is still the most wonderful thing in the world. Those of you who are able to experience love-any love, are the lucky ones. Love from your parents, your siblings, your peers, even your love for yourselves. I need you to know that you are loved by anyone, so very much. So love them back. Love them hard.

The city of Malacca

I always love photography and this  piqturesque city is just a great fit for me. With its rich history and the red square that’s very touristy, this walkable city  is one of UNESCO’s world heritage;  along with Penang and its George  Town famous mural on the wall. Oh thank God my place is near this beautiful little town. It’s my third time here and  still, an all time favorite all in all. This time I’m here with hubby, hoping  next time we’ll be back with baby. Pretty sure he’ll enjoy this city  just as much as mommy. The vibrant color, its laidback atmosphere with beautiful lights show all over the city is really one to die for. This city has pulse, so alive in its own way. The city that instantly & completely feels  like home. I hope, oh I hope each of you also  has one particular city that hold your heart forever, I hope you find your  own home away from home.

The House

The house is the perfect copy of our old house. That’s why it’s very precious to me. Its front, the layout, the stairs, the room arrangements, down to the balcony. The place where both of my grandparents were still healthy. I’ve been missing him since yesterday, you know. And it didn’t dissipate until today, it gets worse. I hope he’s okay there. By this time I know that once someone is gone, you really never see them anymore. Not even in your dream. And I started to lose any ideas of how to see him, when his old photos begin to blur just as much as the memory. We miss you, Angku. We miss you so much and we don’t know how to deal with it.  I hope life after life treats you good. The only thing that we can give to you now is our prayer and our never ending love.  Please, can you just visit me in my dream from time to time? I’m just missing you a lot and it might’ve lessen the pain a little bit. We love you, Angku. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 11 Juli 2025. Hari Jumat, pukul...

Laughter in The Fire

There’s this laughter in the fire So amazingly free, it baffles everyone who see. “Does she have no worries?” Everyone asked. Oh but she did, darling. She just choose to laugh her heart out in that moment of fire. For the fire’s too pretty, Too fierce to be weight by our past and present worries. Tomorrow we’ll have all day of everyday to get back to that. But for now, let’s just laugh with no worries. For we need that laugh to keep us going. Ananda Khaira Azizah, Pekanbaru, 21 Mei 2025.
