Ti Amo

Saya mau sharing sedikit mengenai hal-hal kecil yang kadang terlupakan, tapi justru menjadi mood booster seharian. Berbekal ide pertanyaan dari sebuah tayangan 73 Questions for ... oleh Vogue, saya mencoba membuat cerita pendek mengenai hal-hal yang telah saya sebutkan.

Saat bangun tidur, hal pertama yang saya lakukan adalah memberi kecupan pada Om Chef (sebentar lagi akan saya panggil Bapak Komplek), sambil skin to skin, terus lanjut tidur di pundak kanannya. Hal ini sejalan dengan apa yang saya ingin lakukan sebelum tidur. Keduanya dapat tercapai hanya ketika Om Chef sedang cuti. Meskipun belum bisa melakukannya tiap hari, atau bahkan tidak mesti setiap hari, berkat hal kecil itu saya dapat merasakan suasana 'love is in the air.' Begitu pun dengan energi 'sincerity' terasa memenuhi seisi ruangan (dan ya masih banyak lagi hal-hal kecil yang kami lakukan).

Lalu aroma yang paling saya sukai, sebenarnya ada banyak. Salah empat di antaranya adalah aroma parfum saya, aroma khas toddler dari Alex, aroma masakan yang dimasak Om Chef, dan aroma tubuh Om Chef sehabis mandi plus parfumnya. Pretty honest, ntah kenapa aroma yang terakhir tercium seperti Anna Sui. Mungkin sabun mandi, parfum X, dan hormon Om Chef yang OK menjadi perpaduan yang pas. Ini sih saya bisa betah cuddling sama Om Chef seharian penuh.

Kemudian hal apa yang membuat saya tertawa, jawabannya singkat, yakni ketika Alex secara spontan mencium pipi saya dan ketika Om Chef bertingkah layaknya anak berusia 27 tahun. Wah gimana bisa? Belakangan Om Chef suka banget bikin duck face. As you know, bibirnya hampir bisa dikuncir. Tapi ya menggemaskan sekali, seolah kami sama-sama tahu kalau sudah berdua seperti itu, sudah tidak ada lagi gengsi, jaim, bahkan wibawa. Lupakan itu.

Alex dan Om Chef jaga diri baik-baik ya, jaga kesehatan juga. Di lain waktu kita bertiga main sama-sama sampai lupa waktu, tidur siang bareng, berkunjung ke museum, jalan santai sore, dan menikmati malam hari di rooftop sambil mengobrol ringan.

Writing As A Love Language

:Vin Elk, Ars Magna, & Lady Loved* Lately, I have enjoyed writing a lot. Writing worked on me the way Dumbledore did while he was in Penseive, so he could experience his memories through other perspectives. He uses it to siphon the excess thoughts from his mind, pour them into the basin, and examine them at leisure. Writing has helped me to untangle my mind, examine what to deliver, communicate the messages verbally and non-verbally, and reflect on how this writing will evoke certain emotions or moods. Writing becomes the mirror that provides insight into who I am, what I desire, what I experience, what I value, and what I am not into. Writing becomes the language that deliberates my inner peace. On another level, writing could answer the quest that dwells in my mind.  I am glad to share what is significant for me right now. Being loved by the right person and people is heaven, and so is being respected, prioritized, supported, desired, and understood. The right person and peop...

The Essence of Learning New Things Every Day

Everyone basically has opportunities to learn something new every day. They learn to get a new skill or to let go of what doesn't belong to them. The cycle comes and goes. Learning something new is not only a shortcut to improve one's life, but also to make one's meaningful, and their presence could make the simplest form of change.  I was once asked about the skills I have other than teaching. I confidently responded to them that I have enough skills in writing, photography, and cooking. While doing my responsibilities in the class, I value the three areas will be beneficial for me in professionalism. I have unlimited resources to access them if one day, I could only choose one area to support me for a living.  As an individual who has to make a move every day, I see learning as a potential way that brings us to become more selfless. We can learn new things every day as long as we have the courage and willingness to be a beginner. A beginner carries honesty since they have...

A One Year-Old Bonding

I was having a brief and light conversation with my boyfriend about how to create more memorable stories, create sparks in our relationship, and make better plans for our future. What I deeply appreciate about him is that he never ceases making plans for us as if he knows exactly where we're going, the potential issues we are going to face, how to cope with hard conversations, and many more. Reassurance, emotional support, and acts of service speak louder than just words. In lieu of the conversation, we had opposite points of view on how we would build healthy relationships and bondings in marriage while each of us is trying our best to achieve our goals. In addition, I am aware of his endeavors to listen more, to be more transparent in making decisions, to welcome discussions, to work collaboratively, and to articulate what we feel and what we think about assertively. We want to find the best route that could accommodate our needs in particular. There was a funny moment when I sud...
