Remembering 2011...

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before?

being involved as an active participant of my son's birth process.
Yes, I'm the one who was crawling and screaming from the birth table, trying hard not to damage my eyes' pupils during the process because my doctor said that I am in a big risk of being blind during the birth process. 

Whether he's telling the truth or just want to get more money through the Caesar procedure, I never know.
My midwife, my mom, cousin in-law, and my husband have done great job helping me get through the entire process smoothly.

The ABC's of Me...

I know I haven't made a lot of blogger friends right now, but I sure hope there will be a lot more to come in the future. This is why, I make this post just to help you guys, who happen to stumbled upon my blog, to know me better. Hopefully, we can find some similarities to start new friendship.
I would also love to read your ABCs, and finding out interesting things in your life.

So let's roll and be friends :)

A. Age: 26 (per December 2011)

B. Bed size: King size since I share it with my husband and baby, but I prefer a smaller one when there are just the two of us ;) 

manda, little panda, panda

C. Chore you dislike: "house" chores hehehe.. I'm bad in cleaning my own room, so you can imagine the rest... I don"t have any problem with doing the dishes though..

A Letter to A Friend

I don't really know why, but I feel a lot more comfortable writing emotional things in English. 

I guess writing this kind of post in Bahasa will sound too cheesy, so pardon me for writing not in my mother tongue for once twice.

After writing about my childhood friend's wedding, I can't help but think about my another best friend (who apparently not talking to me at this time). 

I actually have decided not to write personal things aside from my own family (this blog is about the daily life of my family, after all), but I don't see any other option to talk to her right now about my feeling without giving her a temptation to show that I am ignored. 

This other best friend, unlike my other best friends cannot stand the idea of married in young age. I know she has her own reasons, but I really hope she will stop her hatred toward the changes which happen after our group of close friends start to marry one by one. 

I believe no matter what kind of changes happen along with the time as an adjustment with the "new life", our feeling towards each other will stay the same. I still love her with all her positive values and flaws, and I do hope she will stay love me despite my changing status.

We are all will eventually face this phase, and I want to let her know that she is not alone. I know she can't stand me for always letting my life goes with the flows, but we both know there are always some parts of our friends' personality that we don't really like. But that's the point of being best friends, right?

You made me laugh, you made me cry, 

You made me love, you made me hate,

It breaks my heart; it makes me sad to think of all the times we had.

Especially since we didn't stop being friends, we just stopped seeing each other as friends.

I really hope you start to open your hard shell, and let me enter to at least be at your side so you don't need to face it alone.

And when the time comes, I'll hold your hand and say..

ps. I really hope you and I will look that good even from behind in your future wedding.

My Childhood Friend and Me

my childhood best friend is getting married today..

She is a girl I met when I was twelve years old, first day at school.

We hated our school just like the school hated us, so we tried to seek for hideaway through each other..

We spent most of our free time at the school's rice field, and spent more at my backyard.

Walking tirelessly tracing the alley in my village, along the riverbanks, sometimes bringing my monkey pet..
