So I'm watching a travelling show right now and it makes me kinda want to reminiscing. WARNING : this is absolutely a type of brag-y post. But who cares, I'm the only one who read this blog anyway. *pathetic* *lagibanyakmasalahmbak?* Countries ella has visited: 1. AUSTRALIA. Been here twice, when j was 2yo and 8yo 2. JORDAN. Been blessed to have visited this country twice as well. Praise the Lord. 3. ISRAEL. Idem with Jordan, twice visited. Haleluya.  4. PALESTINE. Jerusalem is in Palestine's territory when we went there. 5. GERMANY. Puji Tuhan, stelah diingat2 sdh 3 kali ke Jerman. 2002 sm ortu, 2004 sm kakak, 2007 sm PSM UNHAS. 6. NETHERLAND. Puji Tuhan, also been there three times. 7. SWITZERLAND. 8. FRANCE. Puji Tuhan, dua kali sdh kesana. 2002 dan 2007.  9. SPAIN. Been there once, would reeeeaaaallly love to visit again. Sagrada Familia is just too majestic, I wanna witness it again please. 10. ITALY. Only been here once, hampir kecopeta...

1. Visit Japan 2. Re-visit Sagrada Familia after its completion. I wanna soak in its architectural grandeur again. 3. Watch one of these groups performs life: Neri per Caso or Sweet Sorrow or Pentatonix  4. See Aurora Borealis Updated: 24 Desember 2015 Mmmm.... Just that for now. 

I started watched talkshows on youtube since my days in Manchester uni dorm with its faster-than-speed-of-light internet speed. Mostly I watched American talkshows such as Ellen show, sometimes Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, David Letterman. Later on I began to like korean talkshow as well like Happy Together or Hello Counselor. These past few weeks though, I started to watch a British talkshow called The Graham Norton Show. @GrahNot is a flamboyant irish comedian and i love that he always make sassy hilarious comments. For example on the episode when Emily Clarke the mother of dragons did a eyebrows match with model Cara Delevigne After he made the two beauties dancing their eyebrows 😂, Graham commented that the guests have the ultimatr scrabble names: Schwazenegger, Gylenhall, and Delevigne's.  Emilia Clarke: oh bypass. just skip my name hahahah Graham: Clarke? Who careees. Clarke? You're sensible shoes, who careees. That cracked me up so bad 😂😂😂 The best thing about the sho...

Don't be shallow.  Stop pursuing superficial objects. Strive for self improvement, not in superficial objects. Seek wisdom, not belongings. Pursue excellence, not average performance.

The first topic of this post is cursing. It just occured to me that I find cursing liberating. Yes, cursing. As in saying foul words. Not bad words in English, eg. f*** you, motherf*****, as*****. No, I feel pretentious when cursing in English. Liberating foul words for me is the classic Makasarian's - pardon me - such as "sundala", "lasso", and "kabulamma" / "kabumlampe". Respectively means son of a prostitute and male genetalia. I'm not sure what kabulamma nor kabulampe means. It's not that I curse regularly. No. Saying bad words is not elegant, it isn't womanly, and most importantly my child is not going to have a foul mouthed mother. No no nope. Foul  words usually come out from me  spontaneously  and it happens rarely. Maybe. Hopefully. Hmmm.... Mostly  I curse involuntarily, when I think to myself or when conversing with close friends or my husband. I never curse around my family because in junior high my sister has given a ...

The internet is dark and full of spoilers. Unsullied, don't read this post. I am serious. This post contains some major spoilers. If you haven't read the last book, don't read this. Don't say I don't warn you. Hardhome. Episode 8. Best episode of Game of Thrones season 5. Yet. Today I am finally making a guess based by evidence shown both in the books and show. The  show has gone beyond the books, since the books are not finished yet. Suprisingly, it's getting even more interesting.  I have never dared to make a guess for the ending of ASOIAF, mainly because after the death of Ned and Robb Stark, there is no safe guess as who will truly win the game of thrones anymore. I did, however, guess that it will all lead to a battle between the White Walkers and the dragons. After all the series is called A Song of ICE and FIRE. But the show is called Game of Thrones. Who shall win the game? Jon Snow's journery to Hardhome was a depart from the books. I gotta say, I ...

Don't you just love it when you hear a song and it moves your heart? That moment when you can sense the singer is pouring their soul, you can hear it in their voice. More often that not, you can tell whether a singer sing sincerely or merely sing because they have to.  When a singer sing so emotionally, it gives you chills.  Some emotional performances that I can recall: Glenn Fredley - Sedih tak Berujung, Malaikat juga Tahu. I love Glenn Fredly, man. He's very soulful in his singing. He makes you believe he's in sorrow. Sweet Sorrow - You're Lying The repetition of acusing one's lover of lying over and over again in harmony. Trembles me. Sandy Simorangkir - Cinta Putih "Khianaaaaaaaaatiiiiiiiiii Sebisa dirimu mengkhianaaaaaatiiiii" Need I say more? That performance was so believable. Ironically, didn't he got cought chating on his fiancee? Before he went to jail. Ironic or not, his rendition on Cinta Putih leaves a strong remark. Desi Natalia - I Have...

Just this morning I tweeted something about sharing on social media.  People should contemplate, what should they and shouldn't they share? What is ok? What is off limits?  How far should one let their personal thoughts out there? Where did sharing stop and bragging starts? As far as I remember, I haven't post half about my life in this blog. Not the deepest, most personal moments. Not all of my accomplishments either. To my relief, even during misguided teenage years, somehow I haven't written it all. It's ok to share, it's ok to brag. I share. I brag. But to some extent. We should preserve something just to ourselves and closed ones, shouldn't we?  I did this, I accomplished that. I went here, I visited that. I own this, I own that. All these sosmed and apps tell you to share. Sharing is good, it's a positive word. But perhaps one should step back and contemplate how far should one share. Are you letting everyone know to much? Are you ok with people prying...

Life after wedding is blissful. Got pregnant immediately after honeymoon, praise the Lord. Now my baby is 3months old and she is the most beautiful and smartest baby there is. I, like most new moms - probably, was flabbergasted for the first few weeks. Never thought breasfeeding as a challenging task! One that requires displine and patience. But it is all worth it. Baby Daenerys is healthy and happy, we are very grateful.  Daenerys Marlene Todingan. Daenerys, taken from my favorite ASOIAF character. Marlene, combination of out mothers' name - Martha and Caroline Todingan - her father's last name. Anyway, I have download blog app so HOPEFULLY I can stay commited and write more frequently this time.  Maybe I'll talk about Daenerys. Maybe I'll talk about my observation of life in general. This blog has always been some sort of diary anyway.  Love, D. C. S.
