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 shines so bright despite everything that he has going on & everything that he went through.


“I want to be more like my son.” The father says on the movie. “To live everyday like it’s his best day, and cherish every moment as his best moment.“


“I believe him, you know. I believe him when he says that milkshake is the best strawberry milkshake in the whole world.”


It is very touching to see the bond slowly form, between a father and his son; something that is still so rare in our nowadays world. How his father tries so hard to see what his son sees, to understand him little by little, for everyday of his life.


The movie shows great support of family love to their children. From the main character’s parent to him, even from the father parent’s (the grandparent — red) support to Auzman’s father.


“We’re all broken, son.” Says the father’s mom. “But what matter is what you do with it. To heal or not to heal.”


Everything is subtle, you know. The faith, the struggles,  the support, the effort, the love, but it is so loud and clear in the movie. I’m grateful to have watch it.


And I hope my review will invite you to watch it too. Enjoy!

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.
