Stuck in Love.

As I've been off, quite so long, from the blog world . . . I thought to myself that I have to come and keep my blog alive. Plus, I just need to increase my writing skills and also widen up my vocabulary - ha ha.

Well I think what motivated me was through the movie called "Stuck in Love" which I watched the other night. It's a really nice movie about . . . well not only love, second chances, but as well as family and also about writing. The dad, played by Greg Kinnear, was once a famous writer - when he and his wife got split up he just couldn't find his way back into writing. Meanwhile, their children were also writers, whom their parents had planted 'writing' in their lifestyle since little - each one of them with different characteristics of writing style, which reflects their own personalities.

More or less it's about that, and yadda yadda yadda. There's also Logan Lerman in the movie as well, ha ha (you know, the one who played in The Perks of Being a Wallflower oh and well known as Percy Jackson ha, ha).

Oh my. I think I need to bring my mojo back.

Engaged.

Have you ever feel that there are tons of things to do, but you just don't know where to start? Well, I'm in that phase right now. Oh well, perhaps the best thing to do is just to set aside all things and blog a bit *teehee!

Anyways, we have just finally announced our engagement :) It was on his birthday, the second of the month, and both of our family are more than happy to hear the good news! Well, please do mind that I haven't got the time to blog, on the exact day.

To tell you the truth, he proposed me on my birthday! Well, just a day after my birthday though, cause we were so tired after spending the whole day in the oceanarium, oh well, just count it as my birthday, ha ha! So anyways, therefore, to make it even, we had our engagement party on his birthday.

Speaking about the proposal . . . it was . . . so unexpected. We were strolling around Singapore's Marina Bay area, after church, were it was so breezy after a morning rain. The weather was so perfect. We sat down and the view of the bay was so serene. While we were sitting down along the bay, talks and laughs accompanied us, where then he said that he had prepared me a present. He had with him the whole time since the day before! All of a sudden, he knelt down and popped the big question.

There you go. More than I had in mind.

Since the beginning, we knew that the relationship is going towards the marriage boat, but a girl is still a girl. Hopes and imagination about her prince charming kneeling down, proposing her, is really what I wanted. Well yes, I'm a fairy-tale kind of girl, and I do really believe in happy endings. Especially if you put all your trust and faith in God :)

Keep on imagining your own fairy-tale, and keep believing that happy endings do come true! Me, I can't wait to start a new chapter of happiness!

V&R Marriage.

Just found out that Viktor & Rolf have released their newest collection of bridal wear! Found it on their Facebook page here, thanks to Mas Johann. Well, these are just lovely. Simple fine lines, and cuttings. So pure and clean. Love love love.

But I think I would have to think twice if I wear this kind of thing for my wedding. Family, etc. you know. Ha ha ha.

Activities.

Hi! Have been off from the world of blog since, I don't know when. Well, now I'm back on track and hopefully can update this blog every now and then. Since I've finished my studies, I'm now lingering around the house and have some freelance work going on. I'm not that '9 to 5' kind of person, therefore I'm more into the 'work-from-home' kind of . . . designer? HA HA!

I'm currently doing some graphic design work, but then I miss all the interior brainstorming thingy going on. Well, my grandfather has asked me to revamp his messy workspace. Oh well, we'll see.

Anyways, I'm doing my best to stay fit and healthy in Jakarta. Since we have to go to places by car, therefore I kinda miss walking. Just had an early morning run with mommy. Well, with her by my side, I couldn't really run. I jogged. She was already exhausted when it was not only a block far, ha ha. Oh well, I should run by my own then.

Found a new app over on the app store, regarding photo editing! It's called Rhonna Designs - which I felt in love instantly! So pretty and it's already all-in-one. You can check her website here! Love her fonts and print designs, so chic-ly beautiful :)

 

Was so psyched then found myself occupied with all the basic edits that I did over breakfast, *teehee!

Fifty-Eight.

Guess what. I've just finished all my writing for this post just then, but I realized was in the HTML mode. Then I accidentally pressed Command + Z where it got all wiped out instantly. Why did I do that? I have no idea. Oh well, trying again from scratch.

I've been caught up, doing things for my finals. Therefore I couldn't get to touch my blog. Again. But oh well, I'm not writing this post for you to hear all the chatters about my finals. No. I'm writing this because today is my favorite couple (IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD)'s anniversary! For the 58th time. Wow.

I know I've been talking about my family, here and there, somewhere around the blog. But I just can't stop writing about them. They are my light and my inspiration (after my Lord Jesus Christ, *teehee).

I've been a fond of love stories. I LOVE love stories. Yes, I'm quite a mushy when watching or reading a romantic movie/novel. When it comes to real life, I think it just amazes me. 

My Kakung and Uti's marriage is a real inspiration for me. Where I could really learn about how love can grow constantly between two individuals, and I know 58 is a great number, therefore a real deal of commitment is needed. Their marriage also taught me things about true love. I'm so grateful that I can see that they both put their love and trust towards God, therefore the love of Christ flows through their marriage until now.

I know they have been through a LOT of rough roads and obstacles, but I can see that they are still keeping their love towards one another. Their days are not always filled with the lovey-dovey stuff, where nowadays, due to their hearing - they tend to . . . shout, towards one another. But within minutes, they can be all romantic again. Ha. They are funny.

My Kakung is very protective and so caring about my Uti. One time when he had to go to Singapore for only a day, he constantly asked me to call my Uti every . . . hour. He just wanted to check my Uti if she's home already or not. For the fifth time I called home, and yes - international roaming applied, yet she was still out having a luncheon with her friends - Kakung then said to me: "It's been hours and she's not home already? Your grandmother is crazy." Oh well. They are inseparable.

Had to text him today, where he was out having a game of golf with his friends - while Uti was still sleeping. Well that was mommy told me at about 9.30 am in the morning. I just had to greet him, and told him that I couldn't wait to see them still loving each other for another blessed years to come.

"Thanks a million, Sweetie. Looking forward to seeing you again. GBU. Kk."

Put me into tears. Really. Can't wait to make them proud when they see me in a graduation toga :")
