Happy Birthday To Me

J'ai trente ans cette année. Welcoming myself into the Club 30 holds a lot more significance. Celebrating a birthday doesn't mean cutting the cake and making a wish merely. Birthday reminds me of the journey I've been through. It also reminds me of growing older and becoming mature. One more thing, a birthday becomes important to celebrate my existence, that I'm alive, that I create and innovate, that I hug all my dreams, and that I let the Universe conspire in supporting me. I am grateful for what I have achieved and what I have not so far. I am always ready to let go of what is not meant to me and to receive the abundance sent to me. 


Today I am celebrating my birthday in silence, not because I am alone. I decided to because I want to appreciate my energy and my inner peace. It's a humble birthday celebration by preparing healthy food and juice. People would ask about my parents, siblings, friends, colleagues, and boyfriend. They sent me heart-warming and sweet messages. Even my boss sent one and it made me feel acknowledged too. 


I rest my mind and body for better energy since tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, we're going to do important activities. I am glad to be able to take a nap for almost 3 hours. I woke up happily and optimistically. I vividly remember last year's birthday when I assisted my boyfriend in going to an orphanage house. We shared happiness with 20 kids. It was his special day and turned out one of my best days as well. I realized that we don't have to be wealthy to share happiness with other people. It remarked how blessed I am to be with him. 


I do believe 30 is my lucky number that encourages me to have more capacities to begin life with a new sense of purpose using the wisdom and experience in the prior years. There are historical moments to celebrate on 19th May: Prince Harry married Meghan Markle at St. Geroge's Chapel, Manchester United lose 3-1 to Tottenham at White Hart Lane but win English Premier League title for the 3rd consecutive season, UK inflation is recorded as a negative for the first time since 1960, Japanese film 'Shoplifters' by Hirokazu Kore-eda wins the Palme d'Or on 71st Cannes Film Festival, and many more. The next 11 days will be my boyfriend's birthday. We cannot wait to celebrate more birthdays together, amen. 


Happy birthday to me, and let's celebrate the day with joy and glee!

Singkatnya, Aku Pulang

Kepada K. Aku mencitaimu sepanjang sinar bulan yang membulat sampai ke bumi tanpa dipantulkan ulang cahayanya. Air menggenang di tanah tapi hujan tertampung di kaca jendela. Langit berawan, namun bintang mengerdip, begitu genit berkelindan di balik matamu. Aku ingin mendaki ke atas bulan, memanjatkan hal-hal mustahil sambil memegang erat pergelangan tanganmu. Bawa saja aku, bahkan ketika kau sedang bermimpi, menghidupkan ulang harapan yang terpotong menjadi tersambung, satu-persatu, juga begitu pelan. Di perjalanan yang tidak begitu singkat, kita berkelana, mengarungi banyak kelok, jatuh dan tergelincir, menyasar hingga menemukan petunjuk dengan mengikuti kemana garis tanganmu menyebar. Tatkala garis itu terpotong, kita bergegas dengan menukik ke arah tebing yang masih hijau. Ucapmu, "Udara menjadi segar begitu kita senantiasa bersama." Maka kuikat kedua lenganku di pundakmu. Aku berdoa sejenak, bahwa meski bencana melanda, kita masih bisa berenang dan berpegangan lebih erat ...

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 Fall and The Rise, The Sorrow and The Courage

 Dear my love, Kelvin, please accept my deep condolence on the loss of your beloved sister and beloved grandma this year.  We never been taught how to understand the loss of our loved ones: father, sister, and granny. The grief can be particularly intense. It is accepted as natural part of life with shock, confusion, and also sadness. Grieving becomes significant to welcome those feelings and to continue to embrace the time we had with our loved ones.  I genuinely appreciate your personal willingness to share what you feel. Let's go hand in hand with this wide range of emotions. This sad news can be the most uneasy challenge we face. It also can be the remembrance to honor them. I am thinking about you who are experiencing restlessness, tightness in the chest, and breathlessness.  We don't miss our father, our sister, and our granny. It's not a goodbye for they always stay here, with us in our hearts with love and peace. We will continue the bond we had with our love...
