29th birthday of the husbando

Something threw me out today. I’ve been with

my husband since I was 25 so that was like,

4 years of my time already? Really?

How come something feels so fleeting,

so unbelievably comforting and

loving at the same time?

There’s never really a time when I did not feel

grateful to have him as my companion

(of course he does have his flaws but

it’s only for my eyes to see &

my ears to hear, right?)

He’s the most amazing; laid back and just,

the funniest person ever.

He studies hard, he works hard and he loves

even harder. He adapts well to literally anything

life threw at him. I’m so glad I’m on the front row

seat to watch him grow, and blissful enough to

grow alongside him.

That great person once doubt that he

himself would not be able to be close to his

children, the one thing that I will zealfully deny

because I observe first hand what kind of a father he is.

He’s the father whose child come into his embrace

on the small hours of the night then soothe

the child back to sleep.

He’s the father that we’re so

proud of, for everything that he is.

Happy birthday, papa! We love

you forever 💛💛💛

The Family Who Read

I was raised in a family who appreciate reading. It’s all started way back when we were young. We grew up reading comic books, our parents often gave us books as our “naik kelas”’s gifts. So we ended up looking forward to books. I remember the feeling when we were anxiously waiting for our packs of books to open, couldn’t wait to read it as we already waiting for it for a long time. And as a continuation of that, by the time we were a teenager, we expand our liking to novels, and our house filled with fantasy books such as “Eragon”, “The Bartimaeus Trilogy” by Jonathan Stroud, books written by Cornelia Funke, “Maximum Ride” by James Patterson and the likes which supplied by our mother. So myself in particular found solace and curiousity in fantasy books. So then we developed our love for books. Growing up, each of us found our own genre, as my brother likes “Haruki Murakami”, me and my father...

Label-free

I mentioned sixth sense in one of my previous post, the “What Should I do” one. True, I stated that the longer we know someone, we’ll develop some kind of sixth sense that’ll help us “communicate” with them. A wordless communication, so to say. That mind reader, gesture-talk kind of things. But I must say that that telepathy is a double edged sword. Why? Because it has its own downside. Opinion. Allow me to quote another saying of Haemin Sunim : “when we think we already know someone, we stop making effort to know them better. Consider when you think you already know your loved ones and when you do, you are failing to see them as they are right now, you see them through the prism of previously held opinions , instead.” Those words quoted from his “Love for Imperfect Things” book, and again, I could not believe how true it is. That “prism of previously held opinions” have an immense power to destroy our relationships because we instantly judge people. We did it in a heart...

Fly

You can still fly when your wings are clipped, right? Yes, it might be hard. And yes, you will stumble, oh you will even fall. But that doesn’t mean you can’t. It just means that you have to find some other ways to fly. So I watch “The Unbreakable Boy” yesterday and the movie brought me to tears. Such unbelievably good children with great parent. The movie is bare, very full of trust; vulnerabilities, strengths, and heart warming emotions that is very beautifully portrayed throughout of it. It’s from the same director Auggie in “Wonder” but in this one, the main character is Auzman. Auzman is a little kid with OI (Osteogenesis Imperfecta) and autism. And being a little kid, he sometimes wants to be as strong as his brother but his bones never allowed him to do so. So over the years, he become strong on something else instead. He become the mascott of his school. Someone that brings joy and light to everybody he passes by. Auzman sees the best in everyone, even the school bully. He shin...
