Bye 2012!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from our little family to yours! xoxo

Wow, there's just a lot of things been going on in my life these past few months... and it's hard to keep up with blogging as often as before. 

But here we are, at the end of the year. I still cannot believe that tomorrow would be the last day of 2012! So have you spent this year according to your liking? Well I think I'm sort of having a good year in terms of business and of course my relationship with my family and husband despite the fact that our journey this year has been riddled with trials and tribulations. 

And if there's one thing I managed to do quite well this year was: I didn't get caught up in trivial things and waste time and energy on issues that don't deserve my attention. Yay! Not exactly drama-free year for me but the drama that was already brewing didn't involve me. I only listened to some of them, observed the situation and gave opinion / offered advice whenever I'm asked. I already been dealing with personal issues and refuse to insert myself into issues that don't involve me. 

Thank you dear God, for 2012. For all Your blessings. The good and the bad, the laughter and tears, the merriment and tragedy, the memories and the lessons. I value and cherish all of them, they made my life this year more interesting. 

And dear God, please still be with us, protect us and bless us in 2013. :) Amen. 

I wish you happy holidays from our home to yours and I pray that each day, love - health - happiness will come your way! Toodles! xx

Well hello darlings! 

I know I have been missing for almost a month. I've been quite preoccupied and also it's been a strangely busy month. A lot had happened this September: Daddy dearest's birthday, ******** stuffs, a lot of exercise (trying to beat the little voice in mind that wants to quit everytime), my husband's dear grandmother Nelly passed away in her sleep (she was 88 years old, God bless her soul...), went to Manado and back, my husband came to Jakarta for a few days, my husband's birthday and every night watching variety show (I'm currently addicted to watching Korean variety show called "Running Man", so hilarious! I love it a lot.) until I fell asleep.

That being said, yes I hardly had time to blog. But now I'm back! I'll try to update this blog more consistently, starting with these fabulous links...

How romantic!

Beautiful wedding in the Bahamas.

Attention, Starbucks addicts!

Would love to own some TokyoMilk products.

Saying "I Do" means saying "I Will".

New found food blog. Yummm!

Gorgeous eyes...

'til next week, darlings. Toodles!

Jason: Manado Bound

Went to my homeland sweet homeland, Minahasa, earlier this September yet I didn't take a picture of myself at all on purpose. Stumbled upon this interesting article a while back, then after reading and found myself smiling looking at the pictures, I decided do the same. I thought it would be fun and yet doing childish thing makes people feel younger.

So when I went to Minahasa, I brought Jason along. Sadly not too many pictures because I didn't always remember to take pic of Jason. However, I must admit it was fun, refreshing and I'm so going to bring Jason everytime I travel!

Here are the pictures of Jason in Minahasa which I posted on my instagram account... 

Manado Bound!
