the privileges

It IS a privilege to get pregnant.

Gak semua orang (wanita) bisa hamil, dan sekalipun bisa, kadang gak secepat yang mereka harapkan, atau selancar yang diinginkan.

Memasuki usia kehamilan yang 16 minggu ini, saya semakin takjub dengan apa yang tengah terjadi dalam tubuh saya ini.

Ada manusia baru yang sedang diciptakan di dalamnya! What a wow!

Setiap saya menatap atau mengelus perut saya yang mulai membulat, I could never contain this idea. How could something or someone that never exists before, now is being created right inside my body? All praises to God, He is super awesome!!!

Terkadang saya alpa memperlakukan ciptaan baru ini dengan spesial. Sometimes I forget to pray for him/her, sometimes I forget to read him/her Bible, sometimes I forget to sing him/her lullaby or anything that books suggest. Terkadang saya juga kalap makan apa yang saya suka, namun dengan cepat tubuh saya meresponi dan saya pun menyesal karena kalah dengan keinginan saya.

Lost in Bali (2-5 July 2011)

Last September, a friend informed us there was a free ticket promo on AirAsia to Bali. We grabbed it right away. I was no a huge fan of Bali, no matter how much I was exposed to the beauties of it. Dunno why, maybe it was the fact that I was raised in an island myself, so I wasn't unfamiliar to beaches and stuff.
The only thing that encouraged me to go was what my husband said, "Take it as a new experience, so when strangers or foreigners ask whether you've been to Bali, you can give an accurate answer." So I was challenged.
