Welcome back to Holland, Welcome back LDR!

It's been more than 2 weeks ago when I landed to this wet and cold supposed-to-be summer of Holland, after my 1 month summer holiday in Indonesia.

And it has also been more than 2 weeks that I have res-entered to the LDR - long distance relationship. I couldn't believe myself for doing it all over again. After being in LDR for almost 5 years, I remembered making an oath not to be in this cruel LDR cycle again!

But here I am, or let's say here we are, again.

If you ask how I am so far, I'd say on the weekdays, it's okay. But on the weekend, this is when the emptiness started to creep in.

Missing him is not the worst, thanks to the technology (do I hear a Hallelujah?), but his presence is really missed. Since we lived in the same city, he often was at home cooking dinner for me. Or we often went for movie or dining when we felt like it (or when the weather allowed).

And weekends were always our favorite! We went to traditional market, experimented with some recipes, went window shopping, made little trip, or visited some friends. It's always been a busy weekend, which we also ALWAYS regretted on the Monday.

But now, it is simply me, my books, and tons of TV series. I do still like to try out some recipes, but it's just simply to fill my hungry tummy. With Stefy around, I tried out recipes to pamper him.

To conclude, it's so far so good, then. It's been worse. I think we kinda used to LDR; thus this time it ain't that hard, especially the communication part (Again, Hallelujah to technology!).

Wish me luck, ok? :)

By the way, I found this book. Interesting. Anyone have read this book?

God's Plan for My Slippers

Look at my cute slippers! Lucu banget, kan!  Slippers ini diberikan sebagai oleh-oleh, dari seorang sahabat yang pada saat itu baru pindah ke New Zealand . Kalau saya tidak salah, 4 atau 5 tahun lalu slippers ini diberikan. Saya adalah orang yang practical . Boro-boro pakai slippers di rumah, sandal jepit biasa pun tidak! Di dalam rumah, kami biasa nyeker alias tidak pernah pakai sandal. Jadi si slippers domba Selandia Baru yang baru ini resmi menjadi penunggu lemari baju. Setelah Axl lahir dan beranjak sedikit dewasa, slippers ini ditemukan tanpa sengaja. Axl suka sekali dan kerap memainkan slippers ini. Namun lagi-lagi, setelah beberapa minggu, si domba kembali menjadi penunggu lemari. Anak balita itu sangat gampang bosan! Sampai 1 bulan yang lalu. Di salah satu tempat ngantor saya yang baru, saya harus bekerja di ruangan yang super dingin! Tiba-tiba, saya teringat akan slippers domba ini! Ternyata benar, slippers ini bisa menghangatkan kaki saya dengan sempurna. D...

What would you do if you could live another life

What would you do if you could live another life just for one day? This line is quoted from "Last Chance Harvey" . I have watched this film twice and still feel so touched everytime I watch it. Kate Walker, the main character in this film, uttered this question to Harvey Shine. In this story, both of them lived a life that is not very happy-chappy. Kate lived in a pathetic, boring life; Harvey in a screwed one. When Kate asked this question, both of them seem to ponder: what if I could live a different life, just for one day, just to try out. This question makes me ponder, too: what would I do if I was given a chance to live any kind of life I want, just for one day? Where would I be? What would I do? Who would I be? Lately I have been thinking about the life I am living right now. Everything is so well-planned. I graduated from high school, went abroad to study, came back home to work, went abroad again to do my master, working in a reasonably good organisation, and going ho...

The Bright Side

Always look at the bright side of life - Monty Phyton This song has been sung during the Olympics closing ceremony last year; and this has been my cheer up song ever since. Thus, referring to my earlier blog about how I was not happy with the way we got married, well, I tried to look back and to see the bright side of that circumstance. So if I could share a few things, which might be helpful to you, who are in the middle of preparing a wedding, here they are: 1. Wedding dress I was really happy with my wedding dress. I love the designer, Fifi Firianty , which was very helpful and very professional, and of course her work is stunning. From the first time I met her, I knew there was a click. So, if you look for a designer, who has a European style, please do consider her.  But just some tips, make sure you ask to have you dress fitted one day before the wedding. I had it measure 3 days before the wedding, but in the last 3 days, I ate almost nothing. So this dress...
