March is Parch

4 Komentar

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.

My Very Present Help in Time of Need

6 Komentar

What’s your favourite praise and worship songs? If I have to choose, the albums of Hillsong and Sari Simorangkir along with Maria Shandi are definitely on top of that. I have always longing to attend a Sunday Mass in Hillsong Church Sydney since 2004 ( I wrote it here) and when it came true in 2019 ago (yeah 15 years later), no words could describe how I felt.

Here’s a Confession

I feel like the universe has been trying to redirect me in the first quarter of 2021. It has been energy and mentally draining process. Yet, I cannot grateful enough! I like the version of me now.

It is also actually a reminder of what I should be doing. But again as The Worrier never left my side of the brain, I resort to what I consider as a comfort zone.

Therefore to avoid myself ended up in an angry and bitter stage, I wrote personal journals a lot. Like, a lot. That give me chance to reevaluate my thinking. The self-talk afterwards helps me rediscover new insight and perspective of what I trully want and need. The difference is really significant. I am way happier, calmer and grateful.

Cutting off Toxic People

6 Komentar

I recently cutting off toxic people from my life and surprise surprise… It feels good. After putting on lots of shit for couple of months which cost my mental health, I finally able to distance myself from the person.

Certain people just don’t deserve another chance, say people who’s pushing their wants, forcing connection and keep on crossing the boundaries.

Only when the person’s gone, I was able to feel my whole emotion again. Like this big heavy burden was lifted up. I feel like a human again not a zombie whose soul was being sucked off till the last drop.

Never realize how big the impact is for my inner peace when I started to set up boundaries and get rid of toxicity. It was one of the best decision ever. I am happy.

Resep Tumis Pedas Sei Sapi

8 Komentar

Selama #diRumahAja saya jadi produktif banget masak, segala apa juga dicoba. Tentu tergantung mood sama kesediaan bahan sih. Hahaha. Anw, saya barusan bikin Sei Sapi. Awalnya pengen bikin ala-ala sambel matah, tapi sayang nggak dapat kecombrang. Yowis, jadinya ditumis pedas aja.

Sei sendiri adalah teknik memasak daging yang khas dari Rote, Nusa Tenggara Timur (NTT). Dulunya sih daging yang dimasak adalah daging rusa, cuma karena makin langka (dan susah kali ya nangkep rusanya :mrgreen: ) sekarang ada daging sapi, ayam dan Babi yang dimasak ala Sei alias diasapi. Tapi bukan sembarang diasapi lho, sebelumya daging dibumbui dengan rempah-rempah terus diasapi pake kayu bakar dan ditutup sama Daun Kosambi. Makanya wangi dan rasanya tuh otentik banget! Nggak tanggung-tanggung, diasapinya sampe 9 jam, moms! Baca lebih lanjut →

Period Remedy

Period sucks 😅 They say after you gave birth, period will be just an easy peasy thing… But not! That one moment of the month is still torturing. That mood swing, the cramp, that exhausted feeling, all just so overwhelming. Not to mention becoming so needy, clingy and questioning everything. Gosh, I am just really not myself during this time.

Exercise usually help to reduce all those sympthoms but since I got my muscle torn up, I can’t do anything about it. So here I am trying to function with all the things going on in my body.

However I do have a little remedy to make myself feels better: Baca lebih lanjut →
