Insomnia Randomness

Just when I am about to head to the fridge to fix up a cold cheese sandwich and another glass of chocolate milk... I stumbled upon this one. Ouch. 

I rest my hunger case.

ps: If it was a Nasi goreng (fried rice) that I was targeting, this picture would not have any effect.

What is in a name?

Here you go...I will never going to drop my last name. I might hyphenate it, if it means a lot to my future husband (for social purposes only), but I will never officially drop it.

I hope you do not see it as a disrespect to a patriarch force. If you think about it, it actually shows how I adore the very first man I know in life- my Dad. And carrying his last name is a privilege, a meaningful gem I wish to carry to my grave, crafted to my tomb.

My mom still uses her maiden name. And I do not recall her being bugged by a nagging husband pushing her to change it. My Dad, in all his manliness never did that to her. In our very eyes, he was still the pillar, the head, the leader in the family; the fact that my Mom never carry his last name never do any mishaps.

And...my Love, whoever you may be, if someday God grant us children, I promise you, I (a wife with head so strong not wanting to change her maiden name) can take care of them... educate them with a love so solid and a discipline with grace so that they will be so proud carrying their last name. Which is yours.

I hope you prefer me to portray my love and respect for you in that noble way. To God be the glory.

Love,

Too many people grow up

I know :)

Look at the sky!

I have a thing... Well you can name them; socks, lingerie, books, older men, geeks, bad boy, cartoon!.... But, do you know that I also have a thing for... skies! 

The first thing I do when I wake up is looking out of my window, up to the sky. I am residing in Bali, so this particular fetish of mine is pretty much on its good level of satisfaction ;). Weird eh?

The picture below is not one I witnessed. Somehow this gives me an idea about sharing you beautiful skies I captured in my so called smart phone;p. I keep sending them to my siblings to make them feel even sorry for the grey sky they have to live under most of the days... Hahaha.. Oh how I can be mean.

Simplify the complexity of Feminism

I am in no mood to phrase a long paragraph and I am running out of coffee too..., a potion that gets me to write better. So I will save your time and just jot these down where you are free to either agree or disagree.

Ideas about Feminism from a decaffeinated -sober woman.

1. A continuous journey that I might have learned at first from Simone's The Second Sex, and strengthened by Eve Ensler's Vagina Monologue, and intrigued by those Barbie dolls I never had
2. Not merely about making choices of your own, but to stand up for them even when no one got your back
3. Admitting that at one point, one summer, one new year's eve... one day... maybe, a man can caught you off guard. And, you might fall in and out of love, girl
4. To crave for sex. And knowing you can ask for  more
5. To be able to make your man wolfing over that burnt cookies you made as your first (and probably last) baking attempt
6. Keeping your last name. Or changing it because you just want it
7. To say no to sex
8. Asking for help (nicely... and yes, maybe to a man) when you have tried moving heaven and earth and nothing else seems to work
9. Expecting chivalry especially because you are a lady
10. Not letting failure, mistakes and imperfection make you feel any less of a woman that you are

Go the F**k to Sleep; A reading by Samuel L. Jackson

Remember my post about this funny children's book for grownups; Go The F**k to Sleep ? 

Parents, I know you want it :) Just try not to read it to your kids :)) 

Well... I just stumbled upon the link from soundcloud of Samuel L. Jackson doing the reading. Too funny! Love... loveee.... zzzzzzz....zzzzz.

Oh, and here's a few pages from Adams Mansbach funny-dark- witty- genius work;

In Good Hands

Look at this picture below of a baby gorilla sleeps on his mother's chest after being born at Frankfurt Zoo in Germany a few days ago. 

To the day this news is published, The tiny ape has been so closely protected by its mother; Rebecca since its birth that zookeepers have not been able to get close enough to determine its sex.

Good job, Momma!

Smooth Sea

No matter how much I can bow my head in an agreement to this quote... still, I sometimes wish things can be just a bit easier. But as an Irish proverbs says... " “You are not a fully fledged sailor unless you have sailed under full sail,”

So, sail on!

ps: In a deep and unending prayers to my Mother :'). May God's merciful healing power be with you Mama...

Ups and Downs

Things have been topsy turvy lately. Same goes for my health. Can't and not willing to tell you much but I am feeling better now. 

When I found this simple design ... I feel even way better and happier:)

Have a lovely weekend sweethearts. I am planning on an easy one (yeah, like I ever done it any other way differently); beach, brunch and a long nap.

Awesome Monday: Awesome People Hanging Out Together; Obama and Betty White

I am loving Betty White! ... Aren't we all?

Have a nice Monday beautiful people. I am at the airport lounge at this very moment as I am typing this Awesome Monday    post. I am flying for a one night visit to the so called Jakarta. Too bad I do not think I will have the time to catch up with families or friends. See you on my next post! xoxo.

No more violence

The first line gives me serious goosebumps : " To the guy on this floor who yells at his girlfriend".

And the pink post-it that says " You don't need to put up with that stuff, girl" ... gets me all teary. 

Some might consider this as an act of interference. But you know what, it is better to interfere now rather than waiting for when (and if) she's coming to you being all black and blue. Or even worst, when she thinks that's the kind of love that she deserves .

Because trust me... It is not.

(Picture credit: Unknown. But God how I wish she is no longer with him now )

What do you want to be when you grow up?

Salut Espana!

This makes 3 great tournaments in a row for them; EURO 2008, World Cup 2010, and EURO 2012! When it comes to World Cup, my fave are always in the row of; Brazil, Spain, Portugal. But when it comes to EURO; Spain, The Netherlands, Portugal. 

So, yes... it is not overrated if I say I am beaming an ear to ear smile the whole day for their victory!

 This is how Del Bosque sums up the achievement of his players:

I think it's very difficult to be champions once, twice is a lot more difficult, and three times is brilliant. I think that these guys have made an extraordinary effort and they have to be congratulated."

Sí Coach... Sí :)

Spain completed a memorable tournament and made history when they lifted the Henri Delaunay Cup again on Sunday, 2 July 2012.

Awesome Monday: Awesome Kindness

You know how much I hate watching news on TV since the only thing that exist is nothing but a bitter truth about how devilish people can be. I have been teased for countless of time for this denial habit of mine. Remember this photography book  I regret buying?

But when I found this page, somehow... a restoration is made. Maybe this will not guarantee a magical change to happen anytime soon in the world, but it does to me.

Maybe... This so called life is not that bad after all...

Have a great Monday, you kind people!
