Training for a 100 KM Cycling

Inspired by @Dewikr and @tiyokpras who have been doing 100 km as easy as breathing, I plan on doing it too. So the past two months I’ve been rebuilding my stamina, developing my endurance and durability and training myself for this milestone. Boy, I am nervous. 😅

Anyway, couple of weeks ago I was challenged by Adrian to go for 60 km and I just did it! I managed to cycle that far. Hopefully soon can go for a 100 km. I’ve got the best cycling buddy who’ very determined on pumping my spirit up. Eventhough sometimes his short comments were quite annoying. 😅🤦🏻‍♀️

“Itu tanjakannya dikit doang kok. Pendek gitu.”

“Kan abis makan mie ayam, lewat flyover aja ya.”

“Baru 40 km, belum capek kan?”

“Average speed-nya dinaikin dikit ke 17-18kph.” (Padahal gue udah megap-megap 😅).

See, super annoying, right? 😅😅 Still I am aiming for a 100 km, wish me luck!

Best cycling buddy slash bodyguard. Lol

May is a Happy Sway

I thought they forgot but they didn’t ☺️☺️ Though it was no biggy since we were occupied with this church thingy. But when the bouquet came in the evening while I was busy preparing meal for dinner, I couldn’t be more thrilled. They really surprised me.

Aw, you guys…. Thank you 😍 Thank you for the love. Thank you for lotta hugs and kisses I received everyday. Thank you for being my guys.

Mother’s Day 2021

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms in the world. Who have been working so hard expressing love to family, hubbies and children, sometimes sacrificing own interest for the interest of them. May God grand your heart desire for the best of your family and yourself too.

Putting the pic from Mother’s Day in 2020 here since I didn’t make any post last year. Lol. Once again, Happy Mother’s Day. Let’s sway in happiness, ladies! Our own created happiness. 😍😘

Emotional Residue

Recently, a professional whom I trust wholeheartedly encouraged me to write of how I feel towards something. To release whatever emotional residue left in me, to let all the anger out until nothing’s left anymore. Doesn’t need to be a long in-depth writing, small notes do just fine as long as it’s consistent.

Not there’s no reason behind it but because I skipped the anger phase in my healing journey. After 8th March , my soul was desperately sought for peace, I did anything I could to be at at that state including jumping a phase. Baca lebih lanjut

I’ve Paid My Dues

Saturday has always been my fave day. I get the time to relax and enjoy myself by exercising, reading books, gardening or simply listening to random music. And Queen is on my playlist now as I write this blog post which is funny how it can correlates.

So, things happened. I ain’t a saint. I made mistakes. I apologized and tried the best to improve myself. But looking back at the first months of 2021, somehow those weren’t enough unless I appease the person. Unless I followed whatever scenario of how I shoud behave/react to the persons’ desires.

That’s just not right. Forcing something has never been right.

I understand the pain it was caused. I am owning the mistake; taking responsibility by apologizing and committing a changed behaviour. Yet, that doesn’t mean I deserve to be mistreated.  I’ve paid my dues.

Taking Care the Place I live in

Againts all odds, my son asked me something like these.

“Is that where I live when I was a baby, Mom?” Pointing out to my belly.

“Yes, you were in my tummy for almost 43 weeks.”

He got surprised, his eyes were widen and continue asking another surprising question. “So, this is my first home?”

I nodded. Afterwards he approached closer and then hug me (oh well my tummy) tight. 😀

A simple daily convo as we always have. He considers my tummy as his first home and he’s right. In fact seeing it from bigger picture, my body is my home. This is the only place where I have live in from the day I was born to later when my time is up on the earth.

I’m taking care more of it.

Email from the Past

Earlier this week I received an email from a long long time friend from college. He was actually my crush when I was a freshman. I remember just ended a four year relationship from the first BF of mine and felt lonely. Here comes this guy all charming and sweet. And of course he’s good at playing music. But we had major differences at that time, he celebrated Iedul Fitri while Christmas was my belief. He made a move but after several times going out he decided not to continue it saying uncomfy seeing me with a cross on my neck. I was crushed.

March is Parch

Small note I made on 8th March.

This is the coincidence I am not happy about. In the month of TB awareness, our family received a shocking news. My cousin who’s 7 mos pregnant lost her battle to this white plague after surviving covid. She’s that friendly person who smiles a lot and really take good care of her fam. My heart aching. We lost two souls.

While I was still mourning from the news, on the same day, one close friend called and decided to end our friendship due to personal reason. I was shock but I didn’t resist what the universe throws at me. I just surrender to the flow of life and choose to be at peace.
