Penghujung minggu di Pittsburgh

Sudah hari Jumat, saya memutuskan untuk slowing down, tidak usah terlalu ngoyo hari ini , hehehe. Pembenaran dari rasa capek dan bosan dengan segala aktivitas kuliah dan kerja.

Waktu berlalu begitu cepat di sini, sekarang sudah Jumat. Hmm, saya tak sabar segera pulang. Memasak di apartment, makan es krim, meringkuk di kamar yang nyaman. Tapi masih ada meeting jam 4 nanti.

Saya menikmati sekali dua tiga hari terakhir di Minggu ini, banyak hal kecil yang me-recharge batere saya :) Terbangun di pagi hari karena sms kamu kemarin adalah salah satunya. Menerima first payment hari ini tentu saja bonus yang menyenangkan *tapi tetep gak cukup buat beli tiket ke situ :)*

Ah yaa, saya mendapat sahabat baru. Senang rasanya mendengarkan cerita sahabat baru yang sedang kasmaran. Bukan untuk melupakan kamu yang cerewet, kamu keukeuh, dan kamu yang selalu mendengarkan cerita saya. Tapi untuk memperluas lingkaran persahabatan, dan tentu saja menghemat ongkos telpon curhat ke LA, Paris, atau Jkt, hahaha. Jadi, walaupun saya jauh, jangan lupakan saya ya :)! Walaupun saya mungkin gak bisa bawel ngomelin kamu, atau nggak bisa nggangguin kamu tengah malam, atau nggak bisa nonton Jiffest bareng-bareng lagi :) *dan terutama untuk kamu yang disitu ... :)*

Happy weekend everyone :)!

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...
