Elo mau nikah umur berapa?
Hmm, nikah? Tar-tar deh, almost 30 gitu kaliii.
Elo emang rada laen daripada yang laen, hahaha.
Biarin. Masih pengen senang-senang. Jalan-jalan.

Aku dah puas jungkir balik sekarang, dah gak penasaran apa-apa lagi. Pengen nikah n punya anak.
Huahahaha, what a surprise
Iya, dah puas bisa sekolah lagi. Dah puas liat belahan bumi laennya. Dan gak penasaran sama karir.
Hihihi, yakin? Elo mah ada-ada aja. Trus buat apa S2?
Weits, emangnya cewek pengen nikah dan punya anak gak boleh S2 apa? Justru kalo gak S2, masih belum puas jungkir balik kalee.
So, find a man and get married sana!
Emangnya gampang kayak pengen beli cemilan gitu. Tinggal ke carefour and beli sesuka-suka kita :p
Seriously Mit, it's a surprise. But take ur time ya, getting married and being a mother itu gak gampang loh.
Hahaha, ya iyalah. Apalagi kalo punya anak badung kayak aku.

=========
Just realized (one more time) that I've been given so much love by the people around me, esp. my mother. Just realized that I wanna give the same thing by being a mother.

Now, I wanna settle down, if God let me.

Mit, aku ga pernah suka anak2 loh. Bahkan skarang pun, aku cuma bisa ber"aduh-lucunya-sini-main-dong" sama anak sendiri, plus anaknya adek.
Aku juga bukan tipe ibu yang seneng dikelilingi anak2 kecil. Aku ga mau punya anak banyak2.

Kurang keibuan? Bisa jadi... Tapi selama aku masih bisa ngurus anak, ya biar aja lah. Ga semua cewe harus ngikutin pattern "keibuan & suka anak kecil".. hehe..

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...
