Kenapa aku ngeblog

Awalnya aku ngeblog waktu aku lagi suntuk sekalee dan ngerasa gak puguh kalo cerita ke orang lain, ternyata nulis di blog cukup membantu melegakan apa yang aku rasakan. Kebiasaan itu berlangsung cukup lama, kalau lagi suntuk terutama, blog adalah tempatku lari. Di situ aku bebas nulis apa aja, karena kebetulan aku gak hanya publish blog itu ke beberapa dari sahabat2 terdekatku yang tidak keberatan membaca sumpah serapahku :) Sementara kalo lagi hepi, blog dilupakaaann huehehe ... itu mah kata sobatku. Benernya enggak lagi, cuma kebetulan aja pas lagi sibuk.

Sampai beberapa saat yll, aku nggak berniat mem-publish blog ku ini, yah, till the accident happened hahaha :p Gak tau deh aku harus terimakasih ato mencak2 gara2 kejadian itu. Hmmm, kayaknya harus makasih deh. Thx ya :)!

Karena telanjur ada yang tau, akhirnya pelan2 aku publish juga (setelah di-edit sana sini tentunya ;). Belum sempurna seh, belum dikasih shoutbox segala macem, because I really really hate editing HTML code ... not a good Informatician, am I :p ? Ada yang mau bantu :) ?

Sisi menarik nge-blog benernya sama dengan diary atau buku harian. Cuma buat aku, lebih comfortable nge-blog karena bisa diakses dari mana pun, dan tanganku lebih terbiasa ngetik daripada harus nulis, pegel boo :p Dengan nge-publish blog, pasti ada keuntungan dan kerugiannya. Sisi yang baik dulu deh, keuntungannya. Aku punya beberapa sahabat yang tinggalnya jauh banget, dan bisa dibilang sekarang kami cuma bisa kontak via email. Akhir2 ini pun rasanya garing, jarang banget email2an sama mereka, kalau bisa dibilang gak pernah (fiuuuh, Ito, Shirley, Shannon, aku jadi inget kalian :). Moga2 blog ini bisa jadi ajang komunikasi, paling nggak mereka jadi tau kabarku ... hehehe ... Trus, kalau sebuah blog dipublish, orang pasti bisa mengenal kita lebih baik dari cara nulis kita, dari cara mikir kita. Kita bisa share pengalaman dan pikiran dengan lebih gampang. Cukup memperkaya deh pokoknya :)

Sisi jeleknya, aku gak bisa mencak2 sesukanya lagi neh di sini ... hahaha. Hmmm, I'm quite introvert, aku gak bisa cepet deket sama orang, jadi aku juga mempercayakan curhatku ke beberapa orang sahabatku aja. Makanya, kadang aku takut mengungkapkan keinginanku, perasaanku, pikiranku, even di blog ku sendiri. Takut kalau yang baca tersinggung dan gak terima, and it can ruin our friendship, partnership, relationship, or whatever it is. Tapi mungkin ini saatnya buat berubah ya, mencoba menjadi lebih terbuka. Kalaupun ada orang yang courious dan nanya hal2 yang enggak aku sukai, toh aku selalu punya option untuk tidak menjawabnya ... hahaha ...

Gimana pendapat kalian teman2? I really appreciate any comments ... Thanks ...

Thanksgiving 2020

What a crazy ride we have been riding in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic has pretty much put our life on hold, if not going on a slower pace. I feel that we are running a marathon, and it's not over yet. The emotional toll that we have been experiencing since March is real. Everything that we used to take for granted, like meeting up with friends, birthday parties, kids activities, traveling, the convenience of doing grocery shopping anytime we want, a lot of them have been taken away from us, from my family. No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...

Rediscover childhood ...

When Iis asked whether I'd like to join a traditional Indonesian dancing ~ Balinese, I was hesitated. Last time I did Balinese dance was in Nyoman Gunarsa's Sanggar Dewata around 1989. I started dancing Balinese at age 4 when I saw my older cousins dancing, so I told my mom that I wanted to dance. Wrong decision :p! My mom enjoyed bringing me to the dance club, more than I enjoy dancing, and I was stuck for more than 6 years :p I knew that I wasn't talented, but she just didn't let me quit no matter how much I begged, hahaha. I finally quit because I needed to study more to prepare for Ebtanas (I know, I know it's such a lame excuse, hehehe) . Never crossed my mind that I would dance again. First because I didn't enjoy it, second because I am not talented. When finally I say yes, I'll come, I thought it would be the first and last time :) But I was wrong. It's fun and I enjoy it. This time is different because my mom doesn't tell me to do the dancing...

What would they decide ?

When I was a little girl, I heard a lot of stories about far-away lands from my mother. She told me stories that she got from my father's letters when he was away. Our family was apart for four years. My father went to school to Montpelier, France while my Mom raised my brother and me in Yogyakarta. Every other year Dad visited us, brought a lot of books and pictures home. Pictures of Versailles, Lourdes, Marseilles, Spain, and a lot more. He told us many stories, brought me from our little home to those countries, although only in imagination. Since that day, I convinced myself that someday, when I grow up, I will see those places with my own eyes :) About twenty some years later, my turn came. I stand here, a few thousand miles away from home. About once a week I call home, talked to my parents about this place. About the harsh winter in Pittsburgh, about my new town near Philadelphia, about my new job. I might not be here if my father never brought me those pictures, told me st...
