Strong Woman

This is to celebrate my 4th year being a Balinese.
May His blessings always be with me.
Amen.

Goodbye Kiss

Run along like I’m supposed to, be the (wo)man I ought to
Rock and Roll, sent us insane, I hope someday that we will meet again...

Ps: You know who you are...

Toss a coin

I actually have tried this before, and asking my friend to do the same. Being a realist, this does not compute to me at all, but I did  it anyway. 

And I might do it again.

How much you love to...

A dear friend just told me this... In another words, of course. But the message conveyed by her is now filling my heart up to the rim!

Someday, I will stop this keep-my-head-above-the-water act and just swim my way to... you know what.

ps: I cannot even say the word. I am that hopeless!

Immeasurably More

I asked for a little house in the middle of nowhere. Because that was what my understanding can measure and compute, based on what I think I can afford.
He gave me a beautiful home with a backyard... In Bali.

I asked for friends. He keeps giving me families.

I asked for a job that pays the bill. He gave me passion in doing it too. And some extra for me to share.

I asked so that every one of my siblings will finish college no matter how hard the situation is... Not only that He made it done, He also blessed them with jobs just right after graduation.

I prayed for forgiveness... for a break-through after my darkest times... He said "Everything is done."

I asked for a normal life, He showed me that His work is larger than ordinary, bigger than average, greater than life itself.

For a child of my own, I did ask for that too... And He gave me strength to overcome the suffer from loss and the patience to wait on His timing, because He knows that it will take more than a submissive heart and a parenting blood to raise one.
I begged for a perfect health... He gave me a chance to show gratitude in taking care of my self... to have faith in His miraculous work.

Now... I am asking for something I have never asked before. Something I never thought I need. Something I almost could never believe.

And with a pounding heart, I am telling you, I just cannot wait to see His answer.

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory. — Ephesians 3:20-21.

Enough said.

Kasabian- LSF

One of the hottest song ever made. In my opinion.

And when it comes to music (just like in any other cases), my opinion is always right.

Have a great weekend sweethearts!

Banana Bread Idolatry

As a 'not a big fruit eater', I have a strange soft spot for... carrot cake and banana bread!
I do not have many friends sharing this particular fetish so imagine my euphoria when I found out that this beautiful little girl is sharing the same palate! Her name is Cilla, and she is the daughter of my good friend -and a neighbor- Ami.

Last week, on a ladies-only-coffee-date, Cilla told me that she believes in fairies and asked me what I believed in. I told her... I believe in Nutella. She laughed!

Here's some photos of me in a making believe scene and with Cilla after wolfing two slices of banana bread with my "secret" recipe: Add a spread of Nutella and Peanut butter on it! Trust me!
